午夜想想爱

He didn’t make light of Su Ping, even though the latter was merely at the titled rank. Su Ping didn’t refuse the offer, since Li Yuanfeng was there; he looked forward to meeting him.

The legendary battle pet warriors took the lead and they flew toward that cloud of mist.

“We’re here because... Alas, that is a long story.”

The man heaved a sigh. “The Ice Field collapsed. Captain Ye led us out; we exerted great efforts before we managed to escape. Fortunately, the Wind Field is still intact... This is the last Field... The only one that is still intact!”

Su Ping could not believe that.

The Field of Ice collapsed?

“Have the other fields collapsed as well? So... The wild beasts can leave the Deep Caves at will...”

“Yes...”

It was such a heavy word.

Su Ping’s mind was weighed down.

The information he had received on the surface was that the wild beasts were breaking out in the Nordic Continent.

But the fact was... hundreds of times even more terrifying than that!

Of the five Fields, four had collapsed. It would only be a matter of time before the wild beasts managed to get out and occupy the world above ground!

No wonder beasts were striking everywhere!

“If the wild beasts can get out from the Deep Caves at will... Soon, the entire world will start to suffer...”

Su Ping pulled a long face; he suddenly noticed that something was off. If the situation inside the Deep Caves was so bad, the beast kings from the Corridor should have already gathered on the surface. But the fact was that, while the situation was risky, he had not seen large clusters of beast kings... “It must be a complete chaos up there, right?” a legendary battle pet warrior asked Su Ping.

Su Ping nodded with a heavy heart. “Yes. But we haven’t seen many beast kings yet.”

“Those damn beast kings. They must be planning something. I think they’re trying to turn the entire world upside down in one try; they must have learned from their past failures. They have become even more cautious and sinister than before!” said another legendary battle pet warrior while clenching his teeth.

Su Ping was confused. “Learned from their past failures?”

“There once was a strike, many years ago. The beasts in the Deep Caves had spent a long time planning; they then went and assaulted a Field, all to leave the Deep Caves from that access point. However, since they had merely struck one of the Fields, the beasts only had one way of going out. Before the beasts were able to get out, the then master of the Tower led the other legendary battle pet warriors and they pushed the beasts back!” said the middle-aged legendary battle pet warrior.

“Still, they’ve struck four Fields this time, and the formation became ineffective; we can’t stay idle and do nothing to repair the formation. The moment the beasts notice our weak spot, that is going to be the moment when the true crisis will take place.”

Su Ping felt his blood freeze.

He finally understood.

The beast kings had exited the Deep Caves.

They were just hiding somewhere.

When time was right, they would launch a full-on strike!

And the right time would come soon!

The surface world would be toppled any time now!

“The Tower knows about this, right?” Su Ping asked at once.

If the Tower did not know about this, he would not even find a word to describe how bad that would be.

“Yes, the Tower knows.” The legendary battle pet warrior shook his head. “But what good does that do? We’re facing big trouble. I don’t know if the Tower master can get some battle pet warriors from the federal government to help us. If they were willing to send reinforcements, even a single Star Rank battle pet warrior, that would be more than enough to help us!”

“Star Rank...” Su Ping repeated to himself.

He had seen many creatures at the Star Rank in the cultivation sites.

Diqiong—the Golden Crow he had mostly interacted with—was at the Stark Rank!

It seemed that such a rank was nothing to write home about for the inhabitants of that Celestial Star. But on the Blue Planet... Just as the legendary warrior proposed, one battle pet warrior at the Star Rank would be enough to save them!

Su Ping took a deep breath. He was more than eager to find the Little Skeleton and get back.

They were approaching that cloud of mist.

Su Ping immediately noticed that several of the people present were at the Void State! Whoosh!

All of a sudden, a person came out. He stood at a distance, then immediately dashed over when he confirmed Su Ping’s identity.

“It is you!”

It was Li Yuanfeng.

Su Ping was full of complex feelings. He would usually be more than happy to see an old friend if they weren’t entangled in such a crisis. He was not in any mood to be delighted right then.

“You’re here again. What? Are you leaving your family?” Su Ping produced a forced smile.

“The girl you sent over was helping me, right? She works very well. Besides, I feel much closer with my battle partners.” Li Yuanfeng chuckled.

He had been away from home for far too long.

The only bond between him and his family was their blood.

But those who fought alongside him in the Deep Caves became his close friends. They stayed together day and night and were even closer than family members!

“Are you here to find your battle pet?” Li Yuanfeng asked. Last time, it was because Su Ping’s battle pet had sacrificed itself, so that he and Su Ping managed to get away.

Su Ping nodded.

“I’m here to take it home.”

“I will go with you.”

“It’s okay. I cannot allow you to take another risk just to keep me company.” Su Ping shook his head.

Li Yuanfeng disagreed, “Don’t say that. I’m at the Deep Caves and no one here cares about taking risks or not. Besides, this place is safer than before, since a lot of beasts in the Corridor have gone outside...”

Su Ping looked at him; more and more people were going into the clouds, including a serious-looking man. It was Ye Wuxiu.

“Are you planning on going outside?” Su Ping asked.

Li Yuanfeng shook his head. “This is the last Field we can guard. I understand that the formation has a fair deal of flaws with no solution. Still, the formation is not failing completely right now. Once the formation fails completely, nothing else would stop the beats. Therefore, we must guard the last Field!”

Su Ping remained silent.

“Brother Su!”

“Brother Su!”

Ye Wuxiu and the other legendary battle pet warriors had arrived. Ye Wuxiu shouted Su Ping’s name as soon as he saw the latter. The others called Su Ping with excitement as well.

Su Ping had been at the titled rank; they had met briefly. But they were there when Su Ping went into the Corridor!

The fact that Su Ping was able to enter the Corridor and come out alive was praiseworthy enough!

They had heard from Li Yuanfeng about their experiences in the Corridor. They began to be even more respectful of Su Ping. Of course, they felt that Li Yuanfeng might be exaggerating a little bit!

Either way, the fact that the young man had escaped from the Corridor was commendable!

“Captain Ye, hi, everyone,” Su Ping said. “Come on. Let’s get inside.” Li Yuanfeng smiled.

Su Ping shook his head. “I won’t stay. I ran into you by accident. I have to go back to the Corridor.”

“Brother Su, are you here alone? It’ll be hard to get around without anyone showing the way. The paths are changing,” said Ye Wuxiu.

Su Ping nodded.

Indeed, his patience was running thin; he was enraged by the dead ends he came across. He was so angry broke the walls by violence. Soon after, more people arrived. “Who’s this?”

Those legendary battle pet warriors had heard about Su Ping and Li Yuanfeng’s conversation; they had a general idea of who that person was. After all, during all this time, Li Yuanfeng had been telling people about their exploration in the Corridor. A lot of them had heard about it.

Li Yuanfeng introduced Su Ping to those who had just arrived with pride, “This is Brother Su, a friend I can trust my life with!”

“Brother Su, they are people who once were stationed in other Fields. We could only retreat to the Wind Field, since all the other Fields collapsed,” Ye Wuxiu said. He also introduced the legendary battle pet warriors at the Void State to Su Ping, one by one.

Su Ping admired their heroic deeds; he expressed his appreciation.

“Brother Su, getting to the Corridor is kind of hard!” said a gray haired legendary battle pet warrior. He stood with Ye Wuxiu. The old man was at the peak of the Ocean State and he had been at the Ice Field before.

W

an

Su Ping was baffled. “Hard?”

Ye Wuxiu remembered something. “Yes. The Wind Field is the last Field standing, so... we’ve closed the way to the Corridor!

“We would have to open up that formation if you want to get into the Corridor. However, making another formation will be difficult; some of the materials are very rare and can’t be reused if we deactivate the formation.”

Su Ping turned pale.

There’s no way into the Corridor?

I can’t get back into the Corridor?

Li Yuanfeng made a proposal. He said to Ye Wuxiu, “Captain Ye, there must be a way into the Corridor, right?”

Ye Wuxiu looked at him and Su Ping. “Yes, but it’s difficult!”

“I can go with Brother Su,” Li Yuanfeng said.

Ye Wuxiu was struggling. Many legendary battle pet warriors approached them. One of them with golden hair said, “Brother Li, guarding the Wind Field is the most critical task!”

He didn’t say it in so many words, but he was reminding Li Yuanfeng that he had to prioritize!

Li Yuanfeng pulled a long face.

“Brother Li, you’re at the Void State. It would be a great loss for our team if you left!” another legendary battle pet warrior pitched in.

That person was also at the Void State.

“He’s right!”

“This is the last line of defense. We cannot afford to lose it!”

The other legendary battle pet warriors didn’t support Li Yuanfeng’s choice, either.

From their previous conversation, they had learned that Su Ping was there to find a battle pet. He was at the titled rank, so they had no authority over him. However, Li Yuanfeng was important to them; one Li Yuanfeng was equal to more than ten legendary battle pet warriors at the Ocean State. The rest would be under a lot of pressure if he went elsewhere. “I said I would entrust my life to Su Ping. I owed him my life. I’m leaving and no one can stop me!” Li Yuanfeng said coldly.

– Can

The others were surprised to see how much he valued Su Ping They still thought that Li Yuanfeng was exaggerating but... the fact that he was so determined made them realize that he had been telling the truth all along! Li Yuanfeng, a powerful legendary battle pet warrior, favored Su Ping. This young man who was merely at the titled rank... He had to be outstanding!

“Li!”

Ye Wuxiu yanked Li Yuanfeng’s sleeve when the latter turned hostile. The legendary battle pet warriors who were trying to persuade him were originally from other Fields. Since they were currently together, the most important thing was to maintain the peace; Ye Wuxiu didn’t want to sabotage that.

Li Yuanfeng knew that he might have crossed the line, but he still kept a cold face so that the others would know his stance.

“Brother Li, you don’t have to do this. I can go by myself,” Su Ping said to Li Yuanfeng, “You staying here is also a way to help me. If you can keep the Deep Caves safe, the others on the surface will be safe. My family is also outside. I hope that you can stay here.” Li Yuanfeng frowned. “But there’s only one way if you want to go to the Corridor from here. You would have to go back from the way you came in and head to the other collapsed Fields, and all the paths have been destroyed. There are vicious spatial currents; you’d be dragged away without the protection of a Void State legendary battle pet warrior...”

“Brother Li, did you forget? I know some space rules.” Su Ping smiled.

Li Yuanfeng forced a bitter smile. “I know you can teleport but that is just a rudimentary understanding of space. Even I would have to be extra careful while moving through such adverse currents. Unfortunately, none of us is at the Fate State, or else we could have directly opened up a path for you.” The Ocean State Warriors felt awkward.

Li Yuanfeng was referring to “teleportation” as something rudimentary, but even some of them had yet to learn the skill. What a blow to their confidence.

“It’s okay. I can do that,” Su Ping said.

His understanding of space was not as deep as Li Yuanfeng’s. After all, that man was at the peak of the Void State and he had battled countless times. Su Ping had just learned the basic teleportation that all those at the Void State knew.

“Brother Su...”

Li Yuanfeng was about to say something when Su Ping cut him off, “Thank you so much for your kindness. I will fight alongside you when I come back.”

Li Yuanfeng saw the determination in Su Ping’s eyes. “Yes. I will wait for your return so we can fight together!”

His voice was sonorous and forceful.

The other pet warriors felt relieved since Li Yuanfeng had decided not to leave.

Someone then began to persuade Su Ping into giving up.

No matter how powerful Su Ping was, he was still just at the titled rank. Going through those violent space currents was not a test on combat strength, but the understanding of spatial rules!

Anyone, no matter how powerful, could be torn apart by the turbulent currents in space!

Su Ping said nothing; he merely asked Li Yuanfeng to show him the way. The others heaved sighs of disappointment since he was adamant.

They were fond of such a rare talent. If he could grow and develop unhindered, he would become one of the best warriors of the Blue Planet.

It would be a shame if such a talent met an untimely death.

Li Yuanfeng and Ye Wuxiu led the way and the other legendary battle pet warriors tagged along to see Su Ping off. They reached a pitch dark swirl which sucked in the nearby air. Even wind had stopped in that area.

“This is the way where we came in,” Li Yuanfeng said, worried. “Brother Su, have you thought this through?” Ye Wuxiu asked. He still hoped the young man would give up. Su Ping smiled. “My battle pet is my friend, my family. I would never give it up.”

Ye Wuxiu decided not to say anything else. He knew how close the relationship was between a battle pet warrior and his battle pets!

That was especially true for them, who stayed in the Deep Caves all year round. They had to rely on their battle pets; their battle pets were the only ones that would give and sacrifice without any regrets. “This is a defensive artifact. It can help you fend off some attacks in space,” said Ye Wuxiu as he offered Su Ping an armor. Li Yuanfeng came back to his senses. He took off an armor and an animal tooth pendant. “Brother Su, these two can...” Su Ping declined their gifts.

“Do not worry. My battle pet will protect me.” Su Ping smiled.

As he said so, the Dark Dragon Hound barked. Instantly, over a hundred legendary-rank defensive layers were overlaid on Su Ping and the Inferno Dragon. The many different types of defensive layers were glistening brightly.

“What...?”

The other legendary battle pet warriors widened their eyes in surprise.

That many defensive layers?

What pet is that?

Even Ye Wuxiu was dumbfounded.

Those defensive layers were more powerful than his armor, by more than ten times! “Time to go,” Su Ping said and waved goodbye to Li Yuanfeng. The Inferno Dragon roared and took him inside the swirl.
