Chapter 592 Making Contact
“Is no one there?”
“I don’t believe it!”
“Wouldn’t beasts sneak out and destroy the world outside?”
They looked at each other; no one believed Su Ping.
“It is true, I didn’t make it up. You can go and take a look,” Su Ping said.
The legendary battle pet warriors looked worried.
“OK then, go and find out.”
A middle-aged man covered in scars walked over. The scars looked scary but the calmness on his face gave him a friendly feeling.
“Okay.”
A middle-aged, short man nodded. He summoned a flying beast king pet and merged with it; a pair of wings grew on his back. The man flew away straight into the distance and disappeared.
After the man named Tieyi left, the scar-ridden man approached Su Ping. “Hi, my name’s Ye Wuxiu, I’m the captain here. Brother Su, thank you for helping out; there would have been some injured people if you hadn’t been here today.”
Su Ping looked at him and sensed that Ye Wuxiu was a man of profound astral powers. He believed that Ye Wuxiu should be a warrior at the Void State, and a powerful one at that.
Legendary battle pet warriors of the Void State were considered as part of the upper cla.s.s in the Tower.
Void State and Ocean State were markedly different; those at the Void State were able to easily kill Ocean State Warriors with their ability to manipulate s.p.a.ce.
“I saw the incident, it was my job to lend a hand. I couldn’t just sit there and let the beasts attack you.” Su Ping asked again, “Have you really not seen my sister?” They looked at each other. No one gave an affirmative answer; they shook their heads.
Su Ping was disappointed. Did something happen to Su Lingyue before she could reach that place?
He clenched his fists while nervousness was creeping in.
“Brother Su, your sister should still be fine. Don’t worry; we didn’t see her but there may be others at other pa.s.ses that may have come across her,” Ye Wuxiu comforted Su Ping.
Su Ping shook his head after a moment of silence. “I’ll go and look for her in other places. Please look after her for me if you see her. I’ll come back.”
“Brother Su, where are you going?” someone asked.
“Brother Su, from which entrance did your sister access the caves? Tell us about it, we may know something,” an older man proposed.
That was a good idea. Those legendary battle pet warriors normally stayed in the Deep Caves all year round. They knew that place better than him.
“Come and tell them,” Su Ping said to Yun Wanli.
The legendary battle pet warriors s.h.i.+fted their looks to Yun Wanli.
Yun Wanli produced a forced smile. “The name’s Yun Wanli, it is an honor to meet all of you. Fate Challenger Su’s sister came from entrance No.7, the one in the Longyang Base City. I should be the one guarding the entrance. His sister got in here by accident, due to an oversight on my part.” “No.7? That’s not far from here.”
“You cannot say for sure. The Fields inside the caves are ever-changing. We have to find out when she got in.”
“Fate Challenger Su? I thought his name was Su Ping.” “Fate Challenger? The Fate Challenger?” They were talking about the entrance when someone noticed the way Yun Wanli addressed Su Ping. Someone pointed that out and the others began to question Yun Wanli.
Yun Wanli was nervous. All the legendary battle pet warriors present were more intimidating than he was, even those at the Ocean State. Those legendary battle pet warriors lived their lives in the Deep Caves; they were more aggressive than he was since he was living a comfortable life in the Tower.
“Will, Mr. Su was named ‘Fate Challenger’ only recently. He killed legendary battle pet warriors while still being at the t.i.tled rank. I call him Fate Challenger to show my respect,” Yun Wanli explained.
The legendary battle pet warriors turned to Su Ping and with a closer look; they realized that Su Ping was not at the legendary rank; instead, he was at the intermediate position of the t.i.tled rank!
They still were a rank higher, and Su Ping didn’t use any skill to hide his rank. As such, they were quickly able to notice.
What…?
After a moment of silence, one of the legendary battle pet warriors could no longer hold back his urge to ask, “Do you mean that Brother Su is still at the t.i.tled rank?”
Yun Wanli nodded with a forced smile.
Right.
Still the t.i.tled rank.
He was like this while still being at the t.i.tled rank. He’s a monster!
The legendary battle pet warriors were astounded to see Yun Wanli nodding. Even Ye Wuxiu, the most composed of all, was visibly shocked.
There was no question that the skeleton pet had the combat strength of the Void State.
Being his master, how could Su Ping be at the t.i.tled rank?
How?
Battle pet warriors were unable to sign contracts with battle pets too far apart in rank; it was an unshakeable law!
Unless… that skeleton was in fact at the Ocean State and not the Void State!
But that would be even more outrageous.
How could a battle pet of the Ocean State fight like that? No one had seen any pet like that!
Su Ping frowned as he looked at the silent crowd. “You talked about something that was ever-changing. What did you mean?”
The legendary battle pet warriors landed their surprised looks on Su Ping. They could hardly imagine that Su Ping was merely at the t.i.tled rank.
A t.i.tled battle pet warrior entered the Deep Caves. How bold!
“Brother Su, you came here just to find your sister?”
“Even this old man is moved.”
“Brother Su, tell me about your battle pet. I’ve never seen a skeleton like this one. Why does it look like a common skeleton?”
All the legendary battle pet warriors were dis.h.i.+ng out their questions at the same time.
Ye Wuxiu quieted everyone down and said to Su Ping, “Brother Su, you’re a young and loyal man. You have my respect. As for the Fields, here’s the thing… There are five different Fields in the Deep Caves and their locations change all the time. For example, right now we’re the closest to entrance No.7 but the location may change on our next guarding s.h.i.+ft. When did your sister come in?” “A week ago,” Su Ping answered at once, “Any particular changes during the past week?” “A week?”
Ye Wuxiu nodded. “Yes. Locations change two to three times a week; thy changed twice this past week. I’m not certain about the specifics but I can ask someone whether they have seen your sister.”
“You can contact them?” That was unexpected. “Thank you.”
“Don’t mention it.” Ye Wuxiu waved his hand. “I will ask around. You guys take Brother Su back to our base.”
“Boss, be careful.”
“Boss, let me go with you.”
The other people seemed worried.
Su Ping realized that something wasn’t right. “Is it dangerous to contract them?”
Ye Wuxiu smiled. “It’s okay, Brother Su, don’t worry. You guys, go back with Brother Su. Chen, come with me.”
An old man stepped forward. “Don’t worry, people. I will make sure that he stays safe.”
The other legendary battle pet warriors accepted the arrangement.
“Brother Su, let’s go. Anyway, Brother Su, you’re from the world above. Have you heard about the Song Family, the one stationed in the Xiangzhen Base City?”
“Brother Su, have you heard of a Han Family? I am one of their members.”
The group of legendary battle pet warriors cl.u.s.tered around Su Ping and some noticed how everyone was asking him questions, so they changed their target to Yun Wanli.
