"What's the situation in Longjing?" Su Ping asked calmly. He had been prepared for this.
"Mr. Su, you know about Longjing?" Dao Zun was relieved. "Longjing has fallen. The wild beasts came from the Deep Caves and they came prepared. There are many beast kings. We have detected forty to fifty so far …"
Qin Duhuang narrowed his eyes when he heard the number.
Forty to fifty beast kings?
He could almost picture the beast kings as large as mountains ravaging the Longjing Base City.
For many base cities, it would be difficult to fend off dozens of ninth-rank wild beasts, not to mention forty to fifty beast kings!
"After some discussion, we decided to trap and kill the beast kings in the Longjing Base City. We will use the formation in the Longjing Base City to catch all of them. Even if we can't kill all of them, we will at least force them back to the Deep Caves!
"Otherwise, with so many beast kings running around, they will join the other wild beasts, which will be detrimental to the base cities that are migrating."
Dao Zun sounded anxious. "Mr. Su, I know that you're strong and I'm not as strong as you. Can you come and help us? I know that the Longjiang Base City is sorry for what happened at the defense line, but the civilians are innocent. I …"
"Yes, I'll be there," Su Ping said before Dao Zun could finish his sentence.
Su Ping could feel Dao Zun's regret and embarrassment.
Since his friend was in a difficult position, Su Ping didn't want his friend to say anything more.
"Be careful. Hang in there and wait for me," Su Ping said.
"Mr. Su …"
Venerable the Blade was surprised. He had thought that Su Ping would have a hard time persuading him. He didn't expect that Su Ping would agree before Venerable the Blade even asked.
Dao Zun clenched his teeth and held onto his phone.
Dao Zun looked at the battle in the distance and the roaring of the wild beasts. He had no idea why the Tower would be so hostile to Su Ping. They couldn't let go of their prejudices even at such a critical moment. On the other hand, Su Ping didn't care about that.
Dao Zun took a deep breath and shook his head to get rid of those thoughts. He had made up his mind. He would leave the Tower after this disaster was over!
He didn't want the Tower to be like this!
…
"You're going?"
Qin Duhuang asked after hearing Su Ping's words.
He was worried.
Su Ping was the anchor of the Longjiang Base City, the treasure of the city!
Even though Qin Duhuang was a legendary battle pet warrior himself, he was well aware of the gap between him and Su Ping. His battle pets were sold to him by Su Ping. Su Ping's own battle pets were not inferior to his.
Besides, Su Ping was the one who defeated the Otherworld Heavenly King. Qin Duhuang couldn't tell how powerful Su Ping had become.
But he knew that he wasn't confident that he could protect the entire Longjiang Base City.
The strike of wild beasts was nothing to be trifled with. In the past, the strike of wild beasts could be seen everywhere. Some of them even had seven or eight beast kings mixed in. In the past, such a strike would have caused a sensation all over the world and would have been reported on the news!
But at the moment, such a strike was common.
Many base cities had fallen because of such strikes. Many people had become food for the wild beasts. The old, the children, and the women had all lost their lives.
"I'll be back soon. It's okay. I can go back and forth in no time." Su Ping comforted Qin Duhuang. After some thought, a swirl appeared next to him. A shadow with a mix of beast and dragon aura stepped out. It was the Dark Dragon Hound.
The Dark Dragon Hound was mischievous in front of Su Ping, but it was a battle pet that had gone through countless life-and-death training. Without Su Ping, the Dark Dragon Hound could be considered a ferocious beast.
Qin Duhuang felt his hair stand on end because of the Dark Dragon Hound's intimidating aura.
"This is my battle pet. Leave it here. Call me if you run into any danger and I'll come back right away. The Dark Dragon Hound will help you stall the wild beasts," Su Ping said.
Qin Duhuang was surprised. He looked at the battle pet that looked like a mix of a dog and a wolf, with a dragon tail and scales. He sensed a strong sense of death from the pet, as if it were a veteran that had returned from the battlefield.
"You're leaving your battle pet with me? Won't it be dangerous for you to go there and help?" Qin Duhuang was worried.
Forty or fifty beast kings were not child's play. If the beast kings were smart enough, they would be able to combine their skills and cause even more damage!
"No problem. I have other friends," Su Ping said.
He patted the Dark Dragon Hound's head and told it what he wanted to say.
The Dark Dragon Hound was reluctant to leave.
Su Ping said grumpily, "Just stay here. Keep an eye on my home. Don't slack off. You will suffer if this place is breached."
The Dark Dragon Hound was reluctant but it still barked.
Su Ping didn't linger. He summoned the Inferno Dragon, hopped onto the Dark Dragon Hound's shoulder, and flew away.
…
Longjing Base City.
Roar!
Roar!!
The roars of beasts could be heard everywhere, and smoke could be seen everywhere. The entire base city had fallen into the enemy's hands.
The residential buildings inside the base, as well as some of the taller and more distinctive landmark buildings, had fallen or been damaged in the battle, lying across the base.
Broken fences and broken bones were everywhere. It was a scene of devastation.
The beast kings were as large as buildings. Some of them were so large that they could pick up buildings with more than twenty floors and throw them to the battle pet warriors in the distance. The buildings were smashed to pieces. The ground was cracked and the sewers were exposed.
In the sewers, there were also many figures of Demonic Beasts darting about.
Some of the wild beasts were holding half-bitten corpses in their mouths. They were swinging their arms on the ground.
"Hurry up!"
"Use the Iron Wall to stop them!!"
"Help! Some of us are injured!"
All the battle pet warriors were risking their lives on the battlefield. Some of the injured had their arms broken; some had been smashed into a pulp from the chest down. They were dragged out of the battlefield with only their upper bodies intact.
Some battle pets were also lying in a pool of blood with their intestines punctured. Before they could be saved, their heads had been trampled by the wild beasts. The battle pet warriors who were standing behind the defense line were devastated to see their battle pets die.
Killing, bleeding, wailing!
Some of the timid battle pet warriors were trembling in the middle of the battlefield, while the hot-blooded battle pet warriors felt their blood boiling. The only thing they wanted to do was to kill as many wild beasts as they could, even if it meant sacrificing their lives!
"Damn it. There are too many of them! “
"Lord Nie, let's go. We can't hold on for much longer."
A couple of legendary battle pet warriors had gathered in the sky. Lord Nie was in the middle, and they were looking for the beast kings to kill. But the beast kings weren't stupid; few of them were left alone. Some of the beast kings were too excited and would end up being killed by the legendary battle pet warriors. The other beast kings had learned their lesson.
When the beast kings gathered in groups, the legendary battle pet warriors could no longer hold on.
Each legendary battle pet warrior had three to five beast kings. Some even had seven or eight beast kings. But compared to the beast kings from the Deep Caves … their battle pets were much weaker, even if they were at the same rank!
The beast kings from the Deep Caves were like elite soldiers. They fought in a frenzy and their skills were intimidating.
The legendary battle pet warriors had captured their beast kings from the Deep Caves or from the Deep Caves. The legendary battle pet warriors had taken care of the beast kings … Gradually, the legendary battle pet warriors had enjoyed a comfortable life!
After all, they were legendary battle pet warriors. They would only practice and learn from each other. The legendary battle pet warriors rarely risked their lives to fight.
After all, the legendary battle pet warriors would choose to run away when they were in danger. They would go back to the Tower and call for reinforcements. Why would they risk their lives?
If they were injured or if their battle pets were injured, the cost of treatment would be high.
Some of the hidden injuries could affect them for the rest of their lives.
"We won't be able to stop the beast kings even if we all die here."
"Damn those bastards. The beast kings are still coming out. There is no end to them!"
"I think we should give up on this place for now. We'll wait for the beast kings to disperse and then destroy them one by one. It's too difficult for us to encircle them!"
The legendary battle pet warriors were worried. Some of their battle pets had been injured, which made their hearts ache. After all, the cost of treating beast kings was high and the training of beast kings was a big problem. There were less than three Holy Spirit trainers in the world at the moment.
Those ninth-rank top trainers were no match for a beast king. The beast king's aura alone was enough to make a ninth-rank trainer weak in the knees. Many anesthetics that could subdue ninth-rank beasts had little effect on beast kings; it was difficult to train them.
"Lord Nie, we can't leave!"
One of the legendary battle pet warriors made up his mind. "Those beast kings came out of nowhere and the Longjing Base didn't detect them. They're setting up an ambush! They'll stick together even if we leave the Longjing Base. They're organized and they're plotting something! "
"Dao Zun, what are you thinking? Do you want us to all die here and let those beast kings trample on the other base cities?"
"Our lives are precious. We have to survive so that we can save more people!"
"That's right. You've just reached the legendary rank. I don't blame you for not being able to see the situation."
The other legendary battle pet warriors were fuming.
Fight to the death?
They would do that if they could. After all, they would feel proud and they would be able to report back to their superiors. However, it was obvious that they would be sacrificing too much!
"Stop talking!"
An old man with silver hair in the middle had a gloomy expression as he shouted in a low voice.
Hearing Lord Nie's words, they all looked at Venerable the Blade without saying anything.
"Lord Nie, we can call for reinforcements. We can ask some legendary battle pet warriors from other defense lines to come over. But we can't leave here!" Dao Zun said anxiously.
If they left here, there would be a huge gap in the entire defense line. The other base cities nearby would be even more difficult to defend. They would definitely be killed by the beast kings!
Once they retreated, they would keep retreating!
By then, not only would the Longjing Base City be sacrificed, but the entire Xing-Jing Defense Line would collapse!
The legendary battle pet warriors might be able to evacuate one or two base cities while the wild beasts were sweeping across the Xing-Jing Defense Line. But what about the other base cities?
More than a billion people!
"What are you talking about? Call for reinforcements from other defense lines? Do you know how badly we need legendary battle pet warriors? What if the other defense lines run into problems because of us? " A legendary battle pet warrior with blond hair and blue eyes shouted. He was from another continent and had been assigned to the Longjing Base City.
"That's right. If we drag down the other defense lines because of this place, more people will die."
The other legendary battle pet warriors didn't agree with Dao Zun. They glared at him even more unkindly.
In terms of combat strength, Dao Zun was the weakest among them. After all, he had just reached the legendary rank and he only had one beast king. The other legendary battle pet warriors had several Ocean State battle pet warriors, but they were several times stronger than Dao Zun!
Roar!!
In the distance, the ground began to shake.
A beast king the size of a mammoth dashed out and smashed into another beast king. The beast king spat out blood.
As soon as the beast king hit the ground, the ground around it caved in. Many cones shot out and entangled the beast king. The beast king was bleeding profusely.
Lord Nie turned pale. That beast king was one of his battle pets.
It was only an Ocean State beast king, but it had been severely wounded.
"Retreat!"
Master Nie gritted his teeth and squeezed the word out of his mouth.
He didn't want to retreat. If he had a choice, he would rather stay and fight. He wouldn't be able to answer to the Tower if he retreated. Staying there was an order given to him!
However, he couldn't stay there any longer.
He would rather go back and be punished.
He believed that the higher-ups wouldn't be too harsh on him.
"Lord Nie!"
Dao Zun was worried. "If we retreat …"
"Say no more. Stay here and cover the rear. Help the others. Don't give those beasts a chance to chase us." Lord Nie glared at Dao Zun coldly.
Venerable the Saber was stunned and his face turned slightly pale.
He was angry, but he was also shocked.
"Help! Help!! "
"We can't hold on for much longer!!"
Someone in a group of battle pet warriors was wailing. There were only a dozen battle pets left and all of them were injured. All of them were at the eighth or ninth rank and could fall at any moment. Some of them couldn't even lift their claws. However, their masters had given them orders. Even though they were in despair, they couldn't retreat.
Some of the battle pets were already trembling in fear as they looked at the wild beasts that were charging at them ferociously.
Roar!!
All of a sudden, behind the defense line, twenty to thirty battle pet warriors, led by titled battle pet warriors, formed a line to stop the wild beasts that were coming from the front.
However, behind the Demonic Beast, a huge figure suddenly appeared and blocked the light.
That was a beast king!
The battle pet warriors were stunned. They didn't expect that a beast king would come all the way here.
Despair!
The beast king's aura and its majestic body made everyone lose all hope. The leader of the battle pet warriors was a titled battle pet warrior. He was the first to come back to his senses. He looked into the sky and saw the legendary battle pet warriors flying away with their backs to him.
Were they going to another battlefield to help?
Clearly, those legendary battle pet warriors hadn't noticed that.
The leader was losing hope.
Even if they had twice the number of people, they still wouldn't be able to fight against a beast king!
Run?
They couldn't!
Roar!!
The beast king bellowed like a cow. They couldn't see the beast king's mouth, but the beast king's huge paw was smashing down on them.
In an instant, the light dimmed, and all hope was snuffed out!
But in the next moment, a sharp whistling sound came from afar. It sounded like an aircraft carrier fighter jet flying toward them from the rear with a sound that shocked the entire battlefield!
Boom!!
The paw paused as if it had hit something. The void trembled!
In the next moment, the giant palm suddenly broke apart inch by inch and swelled up. Then, it exploded with a loud bang, turning into blood and minced meat that filled the sky and rained down.
In front of the giant palm, there was a fierce figure, a raised golden fist, and a pair of cold and sharp black eyes.
One punch!
