"Do you really want to do that?"
Joanna was surprised to see that Su Ping seemed to be serious. "Even if you want to sign a contract … you can't sign a contract with a beast at the Void State, right?"
She knew that while Su Ping was strong, he hadn't reached the Ocean State yet; he could only sign contracts with beasts one level higher than himself. That was the limit!
"It's okay, as long as I don't die."
Su Ping understood that as well. Once a battle pet was two ranks higher than him, the power of the contract would be weakened. The battle pet could turn on him at any time and he wouldn't be punished by the contract!
But … he would be fine as long as his brain didn't explode the moment he signed the contract!
Turn on him?
He could use his fists to tame the battle pet!
Su Ping believed that his brain would explode if he were to sign a contract with a Fate State battle pet. But he believed that he could handle a battle pet at the Void State.
He would be able to undo the contract when he returned to the store. By then, he would be able to subdue the battle pet with his fists and tame it.
"Well …"
Joanna was at a loss for words after hearing Su Ping's bold words.
Su Ping didn't explain further. He took out the temporary contract talisman and went to sign a contract with the battle pet on the ground.
One battle pet, two battle pets …
Just as Su Ping had speculated, the battle pet at the Void State didn't make his brain explode. It only made him feel dizzy, as if a huge rock was hanging on his head. He found it difficult to think.
Apart from the spots occupied by the Little Skeleton and the Inferno Dragon, Su Ping could sign contracts with five more battle pets.
Su Ping would have to carry five battle pets at a time!
Roar!!
A dragon covered in gray stone armor roared at Su Ping as soon as the contract was signed. It didn't look docile at all, unlike how a battle pet should look at its master.
"What?"
Su Ping raised his eyebrows.
Bang!!
He punched the dragon's head into the ground, then clapped his hands and said to Joanna, "Come here, let's go."
Joanna's head was full of black lines. She had never heard of such a weird contract method.
Soon, the swirl was opened. Su Ping put all the battle pets he had contracted into the contract space and then stepped into the swirl with Joanna.
"We'll be back."
Su Ping said before leaving.
Everyone at the scene looked at each other with a blank expression on their faces.
Back in the store, Su Ping released his five battle pets. The temporary contract runes that he had bought from the system, which cost 10 energy points each, were immediately nullified.
Roar! Roar!!
The five battle pets growled. Cracking sounds came from their bodies. They had shrunk to a size of several meters, but they were growing larger and larger in the blink of an eye. They were about to return to their original size.
"Withdraw!"
Su Ping sent the battle pets into the pet space in the store.
Soon after, the five battle pets turned into streaks of light and disappeared from the store. At the same time, five cartoon-like avatars appeared on the pet warehouse panel.
Clicking on each avatar allowed Su Ping to see their detailed information, including their bloodline, rank, skills, and so on.
There was also an evaluation of their price. But the evaluation of their aptitude showed a "?".
"Aptitude evaluation will cost you 10,000 energy points." The system's voice sounded tempting. "Maybe there are battle pets with extraordinary aptitudes. Once their aptitudes are evaluated, they will be included in the price if their aptitudes are slightly higher."
Like hell I'd believe that!
Su Ping complained to himself. He ignored the system and decided to move the battle pets back first.
"Let's go to the Demigod Burial," Su Ping said.
Soon, the one-day ticket fee was deducted and a portal was opened.
Su Ping stepped into the portal again with Joanna. Once again, they were teleported to a strange place. Once again, Joanna used the Demigod State to summon a God Warrior from her temple to come and pick them up.
Su Ping signed the contract once they were back on the mountain and went back to the store.
…
At the same time, on the West Ocean Continent.
It was dawn in the West Ocean Continent. The first light was coming from the horizon. The burning fireball in the sky would always bring light.
A base city with a broken wall was on the verge of collapse. At the moment, the battle had stopped. Some battle pet warriors in military uniforms were leaning against the wall, gasping for breath. Their uniforms had been dyed red by blood. Some of them had broken arms and were bandaging them. Some of them were crying as they gazed at the half-lit sky.
Beyond the wall, there was a sea of blood for hundreds of miles. Countless corpses were densely packed, extending to the end of the line of sight.
The dawn drove away the darkness but at the same time, revealed the hellish scene hidden in the darkness.
It was impossible to tell the difference between battle pets and wild beasts. Most of the corpses belonged to humans with broken limbs. Few of them were intact.
After a night of fighting, the base city was saved.
But … the price was too heavy!
In the base city, the streets and buildings were empty. The only things left on the ground were newspapers and falling leaves. It was a desolate scene.
The residents in the base city had been gathered in the shelters. But the battle had just ended and there weren't enough people to send messages to the shelters.
"It's over …"
A titled battle pet warrior leaned against the wall and looked at the hellish scene outside. His eyelids twitched. He didn't feel any joy at surviving the disaster. Instead, he felt bitterness and pain.
Of the nine battle pets he had, seven had died. The other one was severely wounded and had been sent back to the contract space. The other one … was dying and was lying by his feet.
Woo, woo, woo ~!
Someone was crying in the distance.
Sadness was contagious. Many battle pet warriors who had survived were grieving.
That battle was so tragic that they didn't feel the slightest bit of excitement even though they had won. They only felt relieved and then numb.
Bang!
Right then, they heard a sound that sounded like a drum.
Bang, bang, bang ~!!
Then, more and more violent sounds were heard.
The people on the wall who had been weeping suddenly stopped crying. Everyone stood up, wobbling, and looked outside the broken wall.
That sound … was coming from outside the wall.
Amidst the widened and terrified eyes of the crowd, dust rose from the end of the sea of bloody corpses. Gradually, accompanied by more and more rapid and intense vibrations, a vast expanse of black shadows swept over.
Wild beasts!
More wild beasts!!
All the people on the wall widened their eyes. Soon, they lost all hope.
They had finally managed to hold on. Less than half an hour later, another group of wild beasts came!
They had run out of food and ammunition. How could they hold on?
Someone sat down on the ground in a daze. He slowly took out a weapon, looked at the cold blade of the weapon, and stabbed it into his own heart. He had chosen to commit suicide.
Rather than being torn apart and eaten alive by the wild beasts, he would rather commit suicide.
When the atmosphere of despair had reached its peak, a loud whistling sound suddenly came from the distant horizon. In the next moment, a strong scarlet light suddenly erupted from the hand of the figure. Like a burning meteorite, it fiercely smashed into the stampede of beasts that were galloping over.
With a loud bang, the beast tide was immediately scattered and scattered in all directions.
Reinforcements?
The people who had lost all hope widened their eyes. Indescribable joy surged out from their hearts.
Bang, bang, bang!
That person dived into the wild beasts. Soon, some noises were heard. Even the outer wall of the base city, which was dozens of miles away, was shaken loose.
As the noises stopped, so did the roars of the wild beasts. Amid the dust, a person flew over. It was the person who had come to help.
It was a white-haired old man. He said solemnly, "Where is the leader? Gather everyone and leave this place immediately."
The old man was Gu Siping. He had gone to the West Ocean Continent overnight, killing all the wild beasts he encountered along the way and looking for Fate State wild beasts.
He had just arrived at the West Ocean Continent when he saw the wild beasts.
"L-Legendary battle pet warrior …"
The survivors on the wall stared at the white-haired old man. The wild beasts in the distance had stopped moving. The old man must be a legendary battle pet warrior. That was why he was so strong.
He had single-handedly crushed the wild beasts!
"Let's go, or there will be more wild beasts," the white-haired old man shouted.
After he finished speaking, he directly flew forward and left this place.
The survivors were still in a daze after the white-haired old man left. By the time they came back to their senses, Gu Siping had already disappeared. They looked at each other in bewilderment.
Let's go?
Where … should we go?
Either way, they would run into more wild beasts if they stayed. Soon after, the survivors took action and prepared to leave.
…
In the meantime, in the Dragon Swamp Continent.
It was noon in the Dragon Swamp Continent and the sun was scorching.
The Dragon Swamp Continent and the West Ocean Continent weren't far from each other. The time difference between the two continents was similar. The flames of war were everywhere on the Dragon Swamp Continent. Many base cities had become the wild beasts' nests.
The human defense line was losing ground bit by bit.
On the Dragon Swamp Continent, most people were gathered at the last line of defense, which was an ancient Class A base city.
Seven or eight legendary battle pet warriors were gathered there. At the center of the base city, all the buildings around had been razed to the ground, leaving a huge square empty.
The square was packed with figures, and in the center was an extremely huge whirlpool.
Everyone was lining up to enter the huge whirlpool.
"Don't panic. Line up and go in!"
"Line up!"
Many people were flying around the square to maintain order.
"I, I have money. I want to go in first. I want to go in first!"
"Get out of my way. Let me go in first. I'm the mayor. I'm the mayor of Moye City!"
Every now and then, there would be a disturbance in the crowd. Some people would push and shove, trying to get into the swirl first.
That swirl was connected to the Subcontinent District and people could teleport there directly. The Dragon Swamp Continent was suffering from wild beasts and the communication system was almost paralyzed. But before that, all the radio stations in the Dragon Swamp Continent were reporting about the wild beasts. Even the civilians were aware that the disaster would affect the entire Dragon Swamp Continent.
There was no safe place in the Dragon Swamp Continent!
Legendary battle pet warriors were there to help them. That swirl was the only way out!
"Come out, troublemaker!"
"Come out!"
The people who were flying in the air to maintain order immediately swooped down when they saw the commotion and pulled out the people who caused it.
"Why are you grabbing me? Do you know who I am? I'm the mayor of Moye City. My brother-in-law is Master Trainer Carvalho. Do you know Master Trainer Carvalho? You titled battle pet warriors have to beg him to train battle pets. Let me go. Let me go in first! "
"Behave yourself!"
"Why are those untouchables in front of me? What right do they have to live? What contributions have they made? Get the hell out of my way. I'm going in first!"
The mayor of Moye City was taken away by the titled battle pet warriors. He was thrown to the back of the plaza.
People were constantly being pulled out from the dense crowd. Some of the people who had no status were directly crushed into blood and gore. Their blood splattered everywhere and splashed into the crowd, causing quite a number of people to be intimidated.
"Too slow. Too slow!"
Two legendary battle pet warriors were standing at the front of the plaza, looking at the people entering the swirl. Their faces were clouded.
The swirl was limited. A large number of people were going in every second but it was still too slow!
"Where are the wild beasts?"
"We just received a report. Mijel is leading a team of battle pet warriors to attack Kamp City. I don't know how long they can stall for. I think they will arrive in half an hour."
"Half an hour? F * ck! "
"How many people can leave in half an hour? Damn it!"
Outside the huge square, the streets were packed with people. This was the most crowded day in the history of this ancient Class A base city. People were everywhere. On the streets behind the square, there were still rich and powerful people who were spending money to buy seats in front of the crowd.
…
Longjiang Base City, Subcontinent District.
Pixie Pet Store.
The moon was still bright. It was late at night.
Lights would appear in the store every now and then, as if someone were turning on and off a flashlight.
After a few times, the lights stopped flashing and the store was plunged into darkness. Su Ping was sitting on the ground, gasping for breath.
Moving forty Void State battle pets had taken a toll on him. He felt his spirit was drained and his head was muddy.
"Finally, they are all done."
Su Ping breathed in relief. He rested for a moment and then called Xie Jinshui.
The call went through quickly, which surprised Su Ping, but at the same time, not too much.
It was a critical time. Even though it was midnight, Xie Jinshui was still awake.
"Mr. Su, what's up?" Xie Jinshui sounded concerned. He was worried that Su Ping might have some bad news for him.
"I'm still awake. Any news from the other defense lines?" Su Ping asked.
Xie Jinshui was relieved to see that Su Ping was asking about that. "No, not yet. I heard that the other continents are in trouble. I think the wild beasts are focusing on those continents."
Xie Jinshui was worried. Once the other continents fell, the Subcontinent District wouldn't be far away.
Su Ping nodded. He knew that the other continents would be in trouble when the Nordic Continent fell, but he couldn't help them. After all, it would take too much time to travel across a continent. He wasn't at the Fate State and didn't have the ability to teleport.
"Xie, I'm going to open for business," Su Ping said.
