Chapter 587 A Strike

“I don’t know but I suggest being cautious.” Yun Wanli chose his words carefully. He opened up two extra swirls and two more beast kings came out. Both beast kings had bloodlines of the Ocean State and were currently at their prime.

One of the two beast kings was Cracking Rock Dragon, a rare kind. Such a dragon subspecies lived underground where thick layers of rocks gathered; being quite strong in defense was a distinctive trait.

The other one was a Winged Wind Listener. It was about six to seven meters long and looked like an insect, with sharp claws at the end of each limb. Even though small-sized, it possessed great energy and was able to move with agility.

It was said that a Winged Wing Listener could reach a speed that was twenty times the speed of sound; it could travel faster than the best fighter plane of the time.

Another trait was its listening ability, being able to pick up noises a hundred thousand meters away.

That Cracking Rock Dragon occupied one-third of the space because of its thirty meter height. The pet crawled out from the swirl; it observed the cave and asked Yun Wanli, “Wanli, where are we? What do you need us for?”

Su Ping darted a look since he was intrigued by the talking dragon. Beast kings were intelligent; they could learn to speak the human language with some guidance. That being said, it was still funny for Su Ping to hear a dragon speak so fluently. The Winged Wind Listener flapped its dark wings and made a sound with its mouth. The pet, too, could speak fluently. “Old Wan, is this dude your student?”

Yun Wanli produced a forced smile. “Of course not. This is Fate Challenger Su. He’s much more powerful than I am. Mind your words.”

After a pause, he changed to the major matter at hand. “I called you out because we’re in some kind of trouble. We are entering the Deep Caves. Big Eye sent me a message just now, warning me of danger. We may get into a fight later. Be ready.”

“Deep Caves?”

“Holy crap. Old Wan, are you crazy? Why would you come here in the first place? Do you know that a bunch of lunatics are trapped here?”

Startled by Yun Wanli’s words, the dragon and the Winged Wind Listener immediately looked around on full alert. The Cracking Rock Dragon directly formed a layer of dark crystal over Yun Wanli. That was one of the dragon’s best skills; that crystal layer could easily withstand the strikes of a beast king at the Ocean State. Yun Wanli looked at that layer of black crystal and reminded his dragon, “Fate Challenger Su is with me.”

The Cracking Rock Dragon understood what Yun Wanli implied. Although unhappy, the dragon did add a layer of black crystal over Su Ping as well.

At the same time, the Winged Wind Listener was checking the surroundings. Right after the dragon finished crystal layering, the Winged Wind Listener said with confusion, “Many things are hiding about forty thousand metes ahead. I can only hear the movement of some internal organs.”

“Humans?”

“No.”

Yun Wanli knitted his eyebrows. “The legendary warriors’ battle pets?”

Yun Wanli was hesitating.

However, Su Ping had already stepped forward. Whatever was lurking further down, he would have to take Su Lingyue home. Even if Su Lingyue had stopped breathing… “Fate Challenger Su…”

Yun Wanli called Su Ping but the latter neither stopped nor answered him. Having no other options, Yun Wanli hurried after Su Ping. The dragon lowered its head and whispered to Yun Wanli, “Wanli, who is that guy? I don’t think I’ve ever seen him in the Tower.”

“I think he’s just at the titled rank.” The Winged Wind Listener shared its view. Yun Wanli said grumpily, “You two, this isn’t something you should worry about. Put your guard up. It’s not a place for you to fool around.”

The dragon snorted and the breath blew away the dust. The dragon snuck underground. A bump rose on the ground and the bump was moving forward quickly.

“I’ll go and explore the way,” the dragon shouted. The bump moved further and further away until the ground was flat again.

Yun Wanli caught up with Su Ping. The latter was still unguarded and had summoned no battle pets. “Fate Challenger Su, your battle pets…”

“They will come out when we’re in trouble,” Su Ping said.

Yun Wanli wanted to say that it would be too late.

After all, it took time to summon battle pets and even one second would matter in a desperate fight.

They were walking forward when all of a sudden, Yun Wanli said something to Su Ping with a pale face, “My pets are under attack. Danger!”

With that said, he ran forward toward his pets.

Su Ping used teleportation to make his way forward.

The Winged Wind Listener screamed in astonishment, “Teleportation? Really? But I sense that he’s just at the titled rank, as you call it, and even I cannot teleport…”

But neither Su Ping nor Yun Wanli were in the mood to talk to the Winged Wind Listener because the two of them were hurrying forward at full speed. They covered the long-distance in an instant. Suddenly, Su Ping stopped abruptly because he smelled a pungent smell of blood.

Boom!!

Something was shaking in the darkness. Coming next was an angry bellow. Su Ping recognized it was Yun Wanli’s dragon that was roaring.

Anxiously, Yun Wanli shouted, “Astral Light!!”

His white robe blew up. The astral powers coming out of him formed many rays of light that began to spread across the area. The entire cave was instantly lit up, bright as

day!

In the light, Su Ping and Yun Wanli were able to see that the dragon and the Ghost Eye were fighting some beasts that had blocked their path the two battle pets.

The Winged Wind Listener shouted, “Old Wan!”

Yun Wanli merged with the Winged Wind Listener without hesitating. The Winged Wind Listener turned into a ball of mess that merged into Yun Wanli. He began to grow in height until he measured at about three meters becoming a giant.

At the same time, wings appeared on its back, although smaller than those of the Winged Wind Listener.

After merging with his battle pet, aided by his battle pet’s special skills, Yun Wanli was not only able to gain strength, but also speed.

Whoosh!

Yun Wanli dashed out as soon as the merging ended; he was able to run faster than before. The wind stirred up blew the dust off the ground.

Su Ping felt he had almost lost sight of Yun Wanli. With a solemn heart, Su Ping took out the sword that Dusk had given him from his storage space. Kill them!

Su Ping fixed his look on the wild beasts and shot himself out like a cannon. Soon after, he had caught up with Yun Wanli and then ran past the latter. Su Ping reached a beast that was attacking the Ghost Eye.

Pff!

Su Ping raised his sword.

WO

The cut caught that beast off guard. A deep wound appeared on the beast’s neck. Blood gushed out and the beast howled in pain.

Su Ping coldly continued to attack the beast, thinking that it was the one responsible for killing Su Lingyue.

The evil flames on the sword burned the wounds of the beasts.

Su Ping was like a ghost as he ran between the beasts, soon trying to maul several beasts. The encirclement was broken; the wild beasts stepped away, crying in pain and eyeing Su Ping in fear.

“Fate Challenger Su…”

Yun Wanli had arrived. The strange scales on his face resembled those of the Winged Wind Listener. He stared at Su Ping who had just forced his way away from those beasts.

Even though he was aware of Su Ping’s strength, it still came as a shock for him that Su Ping was able to defeat beast kings without relying on his battle pets!

“Catch them alive!”

Su Ping looked around. Behind him were two swirls, one of which was small. A white skeleton foot reached out from the swirl. On the other hand, the other swirl was large and the creature coming out was violent and vicious. The flames increased the temperature of the entire cave.

Boom!

The Inferno Dragon came out. The Inferno Dragon’s bloodline had exceeded the Fate State after gaining the purple-blood dragon’s bloodline!

The Inferno Dragon had just reached adulthood but it was already displaying Star Rank energy.

“That guy…”

The Cracking Rock Dragon was wounded and bleeding; it was scared to see the Inferno Dragon. The pet was appalled, given that the overpowering Inferno Dragon made it want to kneel.
