"Cousin, you're always so enthusiastic and meddlesome. Look, she's ignoring you!" The girl named Karina pouted at Harry.
Of course, she didn't say it out loud; she only spoke telepathically.
In Su Ping's eyes, the girl was merely pouting.
Harry smiled and also transmitted his voice: "It's good to be vigilant when you're outside. You should learn from him. Don't get easily abducted when you go to the Hugh Mia Academy in the future!"
"Humph. I was admitted to the Hugh Mia Academy. How can I be so stupid?" Karina snorted and said telepathically with her hands on her hips.
Harry smiled and didn't say anything else.
They chatted for a while on the way. Since Su Ping was in the middle, it was inconvenient for them to talk about certain things. Besides, it was awkward to talk to Su Ping all the time. So, they all closed their eyes and rested halfway.
The plane would pass through three continents from Woffett to Kroline Island, which was a transit point, and cross the ocean. The plane would only stop at two of the places.
After all, Rhea was too large. The plane would run out of gas halfway if it were to fly from the south pole to the north pole.
Su Ping asked the stewardess, who told him that it would take four hours to reach Kroline Island. It would be a long journey.
Su Ping was slightly anxious. After all, he wanted to make enough money in the remaining day after the quest so that he could buy the Thunder Ocean Fruit.
It seemed that he could only rely on fate at the moment.
The Pet Aptitude Book as a reward for the quest was obviously ten times more important than the Thunder Ocean Fruit!
Time flew.
Harry and the others took out food and drinks from their storage treasures. They gave Su Ping a special bread from their home planet, but Su Ping didn't have much of an appetite, so he politely declined.
They didn't say anything else, seeing how vigilant Su Ping was.
As a matter of fact, Su Ping wasn't being cautious. His poison resistance was already top-grade, and he could even French kiss a Fate State pet of the poison family. It was just that he couldn't bring himself to eat the bread, which was adorned with glittering crystal-like fruits that made him cringe.
Sometimes, expensive and delicious were two different things.
The four-hour journey was finally over. Whispers were heard in the quiet cabin when the plane was about to arrive. The passengers who hadn't gotten off the plane were mostly going to Kroline Island.
They were going to Kroline Island to hunt Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons on the Rumbling Thunder Continent!
There were much fewer people on the plane than before, but almost half of them were still there. After all, they had arrived at the time of the Thunderous Dragon Tide. A lot of explorers had come to Rhea to hunt during that season.
"Look, that's Kroline Island!"
"Do you see that? That's the Rumbling Thunder Continent!"
"That's the light purple one …"
A lot of people were talking; most of them were in groups. Few of them were solo explorers like Su Ping.
Through the window, they could see the vast ocean below the clouds. There was a faint purple color in front of them; they could only see a shallow line at the edge of the planet's ellipse.
The plane soon stopped.
Everybody got off the plane. Su Ping said goodbye to Harry and the others whom he had met on the way, then left the departure lounge.
Hardly had he walked out when he saw that hotels had been built everywhere on Kroline Island. There were also battle pet warriors everywhere. Most of them were in the Ocean State, and some were in the third or fourth rank. However, they weren't dressed like explorers; they were wearing all kinds of uniforms and working as drivers, navigators, and waitresses.
"It's so lively!"
Su Ping looked at the lively atmosphere on the island. While he was observing, a young man suddenly jumped to him and said with a smile, "Brother, do you want to stay in a hotel? Our hotel will provide you with some secret guides on hunting Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons!"
"What secret guides? Tell me about them."
Su Ping asked anyway, even though he knew that the man was fooling him.
The young man became even more enthusiastic after hearing Su Ping's words. He smiled.
"That's a secret. How can I tell you that easily? After you live in our hotel, our hotel owner will tell you. His ancestors have been living here for three generations. He's a native of Kroline Island. He knows a lot of information that outsiders don't know. I'm not bragging!" Zhang Tie said.
Of course, he was bragging!
Su Ping smiled in his heart but remained calm on the surface. He said, "Then tell me one or two things that I'm interested in."
The young man was stunned to see how calm Su Ping was. He had thought that the guy was a hothead, but he didn't expect him to be so tricky. He looked around and approached Su Ping, speaking telepathically, "Brother, I'll tell you one thing.
"Brother, let me tell you something first as a reminder. The Thunderous Dragon Rampage hasn't reached its peak yet. The best time to hunt is three days from now. The Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons on the Rumbling Thunder Continent are in a prenatal frenzy. It's very dangerous to go there now!"
He sounded so solemn that it seemed to be true.
Su Ping was stunned for a moment. He looked at him and felt regretful; he couldn't wait until three days, regardless of whether the information was true or not.
"How about this? Do you have a map of the Rumbling Thunder Continent?" asked Su Ping.
The young man was stunned for a moment, then he nodded and said, "We'll give you the map for free if you stay in our hotel."
"No. Sell me one. How much is it?" asked Su Ping straightforwardly.
"…" Seeing Su Ping's attitude, the young man knew that he couldn't be easily tricked. He heaved a sigh and could only say, "That's a shame. I'm really not lying to you. I'll charge you a hundred thousand astral coins for a map of the Rumbling Thunder Continent. I won't bully you since you're from another planet. The Reyans are always hospitable."
You're even scammer because I'm from another planet … Su Ping finally knew what a black merchant was. A hundred thousand for a lousy map? That's daylight robbery!
"Give it to me," said Su Ping directly, not bothering to waste time.
Seeing that Su Ping didn't bargain, the young man was stunned for a moment. He then delightedly took out a stack of photocopied maps and gave one to Su Ping.
"Let me tell you, this map was drawn by the owner of my hotel. He goes to the Rumbling Thunder Continent every year during the off-season and knows the terrain very well. You won't suffer any losses if you buy this map. I guarantee that you'll be able to catch a Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon!"
Su Ping chuckled and accepted the map, only to find that it was quite detailed. He didn't say anything else and simply remembered the map in his head. He then asked, "Where do I go to the Rumbling Thunder Continent?"
"You're going there now?"
The young man was stunned for a moment. His expression slightly changed as he said, "Brother, I'm not lying to you. It's fine if you don't stay in our hotel, but what I just told you is absolutely true. It's more appropriate to go there in three days. Many people might go there now, but more will die …"
Su Ping looked at him and nodded. "But I'm in a hurry."
"…"
The young man was rendered speechless.
In a hurry?
Is it that urgent? Can't you wait for three days?
He couldn't understand. Seeing that he couldn't persuade Su Ping, he heaved a sigh and pointed the way for Su Ping.
After bidding farewell to the young man, Su Ping followed the route. He heard all kinds of yelling along the way. Not far away, a group of desolate planet explorers was gathered in a square.
"Does anyone want to go to the Rumbling Thunder Continent with a Fate State expert? You only need to pay a hundred million to join us!"
"Thugs! Thugs! I'm an experienced explorer in the middle phase of the Void State. Only five hundred million! "
All kinds of yelling were heard. Su Ping glanced at the crowd, only to find that most of the explorers were at the Ocean State. Only a handful of them were at the Fate State.
A middle-aged man approached Su Ping and said, "Young man, are you going to the Rumbling Thunder Continent? We can take you with us!"
Su Ping shook his head and declined.
"The Rumbling Thunder Continent is very dangerous …" continued the middle-aged man.
Su Ping was already moving forward.
The middle-aged man snorted and spat on the ground when he saw that Su Ping didn't even look back.
…
Ten minutes later, Su Ping reached a landing pad at the center of Kroline Island.
The military airliners that were docked there were all installed with special energy arrays that could resist the attacks of Ocean State Beast Kings. There was also a short-distance teleportation array that was equivalent to the Void State's instantaneous flash, allowing them to escape from the birds and beasts' encirclement.
There were too many people there, so he had to wait in line and pay the entrance fee of ten million to enter the Rumbling Thunder Continent.
Su Ping calculated for a moment, only to be left speechless. The fee to enter the Rumbling Thunder Continent alone was probably astronomical!
It was such a huge sum of money. Even if they only collected taxes and shared the profits with the federation, they would still receive an unimaginable amount!
If a tier-3 planet was already so profitable, Su Ping didn't even dare to imagine what the tier-1 planets were like.
"It would be great if such a place could be built on the Blue Planet." Su Ping's heart was pounding. For the lord of Rhea, a few hundred million was probably no different from a few bucks in the eyes of ordinary people.
Very soon, it was Su Ping's turn to board one of the military airliners.
They took off and left the island.
Su Ping sat next to the window and looked at the surging sea outside of the island expectantly.
It didn't take long for the military airliner to reach the Rumbling Thunder Continent at an extremely fast speed.
The distance between the Rumbling Thunder Continent and Kroline Island was as large as the distance between the continents on Blue Star. However, the military airliner was so fast that it arrived in less than five minutes.
There seemed to be a translucent shield above the Rumbling Thunder Continent, which looked like the atmosphere of a planet. Below the shield were surging dark clouds.
Considering the size of Rhea, the Rumbling Thunder Continent was even vaster than the entire Blue Star!
Strange runes appeared on the exterior of the military airliner and melded with the translucent shield. The airliner soon penetrated the shield and flew into the Rumbling Thunder Continent.
After passing through the dark clouds of lightning and thunder, the military airliner arrived above a base in the desert and stopped inside the base.
A lot of desolate planet explorers had gathered in the base, all of whom were there to hunt on the Rumbling Thunder Continent.
After getting off the airliner, Su Ping observed the base for a moment. He felt that it was only a temporary base, so he didn't stay there for long.
A lot of explorers had asked to join him, but Su Ping obviously wouldn't bother with them. Some of them might not be there to hunt the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons …
Su Ping flew out. Hardly had he left the base city when he noticed that four people were following him. He raised his eyebrows with coldness in his eyes.
Why did they target him instead of anyone else?
Su Ping simply ignored them. Time was of the essence, so he simply summoned the Inferno Dragon and sat on its shoulder. He then took out the map that he had bought for a hundred thousand and compared it to his memory, only to find that it was correct.
A flame popped up from his fingertip and burned the map.
In the next moment, Su Ping instructed the Inferno Dragon to fly east.
Su Ping was going straight to the center of the Rumbling Thunder Continent, where the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons' nest was located.
A Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon with mediocre aptitude would definitely be extraordinary; it would probably be a king among its peers. It was also possible that it was the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon's king!
Soon, he flew out of the desert. In front of him was a mountain range. Behind the mountain range was a forest that was a mix of purple and green. The upper edge of the mountain range was covered by a thin layer of clouds and mist. The mountain range was high up.
Su Ping looked at the vast forest after passing the mountain range. He sensed the vague auras of several wild beasts. They were weak due to the distance, but he didn't think that they were too strong.
He was too close to the base; even if there were any Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons nearby, they would have already been hunted.
Su Ping didn't enter the forest; he simply kept flying forward, making up his mind to go straight to the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons' nest.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Halfway through the forest, a swirl appeared in front of him all of a sudden. A huge Duckbill Pterosaur flew out from the swirl. Its body was covered in dark red scales. A middle-aged man with fluttering hair was sitting on the Duckbill Pterosaur's back, holding a saber in his hand.
"Kid, stand …"
The middle-aged man looked down at Su Ping. His pupils contracted before he finished his sentence; a bolt of lightning appeared in his eyes. Then, his body exploded.
After a bam, the lightning that spread out from his body tore his body apart and turned it into ashes!
The Duckbill Pterosaur under his feet was also struck by lightning. It screamed miserably and fell into the forest on the downside.
The people who had been following Su Ping closely were just about to fly closer with sneers when they saw what happened. All of them were stunned on the spot, unable to believe what they saw.
Their captain, who was at the Void State … had been killed!
What kind of monster is this young man?
Whoosh!
The Inferno Dragon didn't stop; it simply flew forward, as if nothing had happened.
Su Ping crossed his arms and sat on the Inferno Dragon's shoulder, his black hair fluttering in the wind.
He could easily kill a Void State warrior with the law of thunder he had mastered.
Even though the man was a Void State warrior from Rhea and had a much more varied and weird way of fighting than the Void State warriors from the Blue Star, none of his fancy moves were effective against the absolute suppression of laws!
Also, Su Ping had named the law of thunder "boom"!
There were many kinds of laws of thunder. He named it "boom" simply because Su Ping had developed the concept of the law.
He had comprehended the tyrannical and unyielding Laws of Thunder, the Laws of Thunder!
The men behind him trembled after Su Ping flew away; they felt as if they had just been through the gates of hell when Su Ping didn't counterattack.
"It's true that anyone who dares to travel alone is a monster!"
"I told you that we shouldn't have kept an eye on him!"
"What's the point of talking nonsense? Let's run! We'll be doomed if he turns around!"
They were scared out of their wits and quickly ran back to the base.
…
Whoosh!
In the vast sky, the Inferno Dragon was galloping at full speed, like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins.
Thunderclouds were surging above their heads, which was a common sight in the Rumbling Thunder Continent. Some of the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons even liked to play in the clouds, feasting on lightning.
"Shriek!!"
Soon after, Su Ping encountered a flock of birds up ahead. They had no feathers, and seemed to be naked. There were dozens of them; all of them were Ocean State wild beasts.
The birds shrieked excitedly and charged at Su Ping like hungry sharks that had seen blood.
A glint of coldness flashed in Su Ping's eyes. Under his feet, the Inferno Dragon's eyes were burning with anger. All of a sudden, it let out an earth-shattering roar.
Roar!!
This dragon roar was like a blow to the head, causing the birds and beasts that were charging over to be instantly shaken to the point of confusion. All of their momentum stopped, and they fled in all directions in fear.
The Inferno Dragon showed its dominance and went on a rampage.
"Roar!"
At this moment, a dragon's roar suddenly rang out from a dark cloud several dozen kilometers away. It was filled with anger.
Then, in a flash of lightning, a gigantic dragon with a wingspan of more than two hundred meters swooped down from the clouds.
