Chapter 206 - Su Bai"s Advantage
Ah Bai, are we going home or to the Blood Moon Bar? the cub raised its head and asked.
"Go straight to the bar," he replied.
They were now near his master"s cultivation base and were not far from the Blood Moon Bar.
Su Bai wanted to go to the Scarlet Wilderness quickly. If he missed the divine skill, he would really cry.
On the way, he quietly changed his appearance.
They arrived at Liuyue District in a short while. Not far from the bar, he got off Purple Jade and walked over.
He walked safely to the door of the bar without any trouble. Looking at its dilapidated sign, he strode in.
He took one step in and came to the Scarlet Wilderness.
He was immediately surrounded by endless wasteland, which looked no different from before.
However, big changes had taken place in the sky.
The blood moon, which was originally suspended high, was split at this time into twelve pieces. In the center of the twelve scarlet fragments, there was a blood-colored light cl.u.s.ter.
"Jade, go back to the contract book first." Su Bai looked at the blood moon, kept the cub into his contract book, and released the dragon.
A force of teleportation appeared out of thin air as the dragon appeared.
His sight went black, and when his vision was restored again, he found himself in a blood-colored world. Countless other Pet Tamers stood around this blood-colored world.
However, they made no move to fight one another as their eyes focused on the blood-red light in the sky.
This cl.u.s.ter of light looked very big from where they were standing; about nine scarlet masks surrounded this blood-colored light to form nine layers, seemingly protecting it.
Upon a closer look, he saw some scarlet spots in each mask, which moved in random motions.
"Roar." That should be the origin of the Scarlet Wilderness; I feel the strong power coming from it, said Blood Dragon.
Su Bai nodded and scanned the crowd. These tens of thousands of people all had blood pets higher than the monarch grade.
Among them, the most terrifying and powerful were the five Dragon Kings who belonged to the Twelve Dragon Slayers organization. The reason he was able to recognize these people was that he saw Wei Ya among them.
What surprised him, even more, was the presence of several of his cla.s.smates and a few other familiar faces.
"Can you sense the state of those blood dragons?"
He pointed to a small team not far in front of him and asked his pet dragon. This small team was the most eye-catching here because all their pets were blood dragons.
He recognized the person leading this small group; it was Xiao Yulong, the school"s student union president and the Xiao family"s young master, one of the top five top royalty in the Alliance.
The Xiaos also had the most powerful league of dragons in the Alliance besides the Imperial Dragon Gymnasium.
As for the three people following the guy, Su Bai knew them, too. They were the sisters who had once tried to seduce him before.
They of course had pet dragons that were not weak.
"Roar!" Those dragons feel like st.i.tched monsters. Their blood is impure; two of them ate blood ashes and are now my blood subordinates. I can kill them with a single thought…
The strongest one should be the black and red blood dragon next to the man as its blood aura is infinitely close to a real blood dragon.
Unfortunately, without my approval and original feeding as the Ancestor Blood Dragon, it"ll never reach the point of a pure-blood dragon. His pet responded using its spiritual voice.
"Okay, I understand. I"ll teach them a lesson when I get the chance." Su Bai nodded lightly; it was of no surprise to him. It was this group of guys who had sent people to chase him several times before, trying to s.n.a.t.c.h the dragon.
Now that they were here, he would have to leave a deep impression on them.
When Su Bai was about to observe the situation of other people, he found that Xiao Yulong was walking over with a group of people.
"I finally witnessed the Ancestor Blood Dragon. It"s indeed worthy of its reputation; its breath is deep and powerful, and its blood is pure and thick."
Xiao Yulong looked again and again at the Blood Dragon next to Su Bai in admiration, his eyes mixed with complex emotions, including greed and jealousy, appreciation and dissatisfaction.
In fact, his Bloodseeker Dragon was about to become a pureblood dragon—an Ancestor Blood Dragon at that—because it was the first pureblood dragon to have appeared.
However, just when he was about to succeed, Su Bai"s dragon beat his own to it. Any person would be p.i.s.sed off by this. To such a powerful and authoritative existence like him, the result would be destruction and revenge.
"Brother, are you interested in joining our Xiao family? The Ancestor Blood Dragon should be difficult to cultivate, right? If you join us, we can guarantee a steady flow of cultivation resources, as well as beautiful women, money, status, and anything you desire.
"As long as you agree, we can sign a contract right away." Xiao Yulong looked at Su Bai and said this. His att.i.tude was sincere, without the slightest arrogance or dominance.
"Sorry, I"m not interested; I just like being alone without being bound." The other shook his head and took two steps back.
"What about joining the Imperial Dragon Gymnasium? If you think you won"t obtain an important position in our family, you can choose to join the gymnasium. There"s no such thing as bloodline hierarchy in the gymnasium. As long as you are strong, you can even become its director. How about it?" He pressed on, his att.i.tude was very sincere, not showing any disdain or uncomfortable look, which made people feel very comfortable.
"Thank you, but I"m not interested. If I"m interested, I"ll definitely find you." Su Bai stepped back again and opened a safe distance between them.
On the surface, he looked open and had no hostility in his eyes.
"Alright, then." Xiao Yulong glanced at the boy, then turned around, and moved to leave.
"Su Bai, enough is enough. Don"t think that I wouldn"t recognize you just because you changed your face. Why are you here?
"You"ve got to know that even if you have an Ancestor Blood Dragon, it won"t be able to overturn the heavens. You"ll end up in a miserable state if you wait for a good offer. Few who fly solo have a good ending." Liu Yiyi glared at him threateningly.
"That"s right; you can"t hide anymore. Joining the royal dragon family or gym is the best choice for you," Di Fei also said.
Both women were sent to seduce him last time. He remembered that Liu Yiyi owned a Five-clawed Golden Dragon.
Di Fei was a mixed-race with a fire-breathing dragon; she had an exploding figure which was extremely eye-catching.
"Su Bai? I don"t know him. You must"ve mistaken me for someone else," he said simply, turning to walk over to Wei Ya.
"Yes, you"ve mistaken him for someone else. He"s one of our dragon slayers."
Wei Ya glanced at Xiao Yulong and his party and spoke with a smile.
The onlookers shut up when they saw Wei Ya talking.
Liu Yiyi and Di Fei also stopped talking and quickly went back.
Wei Ya was a formidable existence, who was part of the strongest group present at the scene. No one dared to offend her.
Su Bai raised his head and discovered that someone in the distance had been motioning him. He nodded in response.
This person was Fang Yuan, the one from Fuyao Gymnasium who had a Frost Dragon.
"Senior Wei Ya, why didn"t those powerful families come this time?" he asked.
At the scene, he did not see the powerhouse families. An example was Xiao Yulong; even though he had an emperor monster in his hand, it was still incomparable with a Pet Tamer like her.
Even though Wei Ya and the others could not release sovereign pets in this place, Xiao Yulong and the others were definitely no match for their emperor pets.
"Of course, they couldn"t come here. The number of monsters in each s.p.a.ce crack of Blue Planet has increased sharply. They don"t have time to grab this divine skill." She smiled at him.
"This was done by your organization?" he asked in surprise. Was the Twelve Dragon Slayers organization already so powerful?
"Of course not. Our organization isn"t so strong yet." The Card Queen shook her head.
"Let me tell you about the situation here. It seems that this world is about to close. When it closes, it will be the start of the fighting for that divine skill.
"You see that the cl.u.s.ter of blood-colored light in the sky has nine layers, right? It means that there are about nine stages to the test. The first person to pa.s.s the nine levels can obtain the divine skill.
"No one knows exactly what each level is. Generally speaking, the proportion of strength in it is not particularly big, so don"t be intimidated.
"Did you see the scarlet spots in those masks? Those should be spilled skills. They"re treasures used by pets and summoners. You can collect as many when you encounter them. Even if you don"t get the divine skill, you won"t lose out if you grab those."
"Thank you, senior." Su Bai nodded. This kind of thing was only known to Wei Ya, who had experienced the robbing of divine skills before.
"I don"t know about the others because every divine skill test is completely different. It is the final test of the will of a world that is about to die. Before experiencing it, there"s no way to understand the specific criteria."
After Wei Ya finished speaking, she patted him on the shoulder again. "Your life is the most important thing. Don"t take risks and just do your best."
"I understand." He nodded.
She then told him who might be a threat to him, and he diligently noted them all.
After a few more hours, the blood-colored cl.u.s.ter of light in the sky suddenly grew bigger and shone more brightly.
Su Bai then felt a force of teleportation sweeping over him..
"Be careful." Before leaving, Wei Ya exhorted again.
His eyes went black, and he waited for his vision to recover.
When his vision was restored, he found that he had come into a blood-colored world, which was shrouded in scarlet fog. The visibility was only limited to about twenty to thirty meters, and this made him extremely uncomfortable.
This distance meant that almost all monsters above the commander level could attack and kill him in an instant.
In the sky, the blood-colored cl.u.s.ter of light had disappeared.
"How far can you perceive?" he asked.
He did not receive any information about the a.s.sessment, so he could only explore here first.
My perception is also compressed; I can"t feel more than two hundred meters away.
Also, I found that I can"t use my skills anymore; all my skills seem to be sealed, the Blood Dragon replied telepathically.
This news made Su Bai more vigilant. If the dragon could not use its skills, then the danger level was increased by another layer.
"Can you perceive anything special? Is there anything weird?"
Nothing. The dragon lowered its head, feeling a little useless.
"It"s not your fault; don"t feel bad." Su Bai shook his head. "Let"s walk around first and explore."
He tried to release Purple Jade but found that he could not do so.
"Try to feel where the blood moon origin is; we will head in that direction," Su Bai said after walking for a while.
"Huh?" He gasped softly, for he saw three marble-shaped, blood-colored crystals floating around and circling the dragon.
"Roar!" Ah Bai, this seems to be a skill jade! the dragon looked at these blood crystals and said.
He summoned the contract book and prepared to give three blood skills to the Blood Dragon but found that there seemed to be no way of using the contract book.
"Take one and see if it works." He looked at these three elementary skill jades, namely the Blood Flame, Blood Pollution, and Blood Archery.
It was possible for pets to eat jades and learn the skills contained in them, but the effect was not as good as incorporating them in contract books.
The dragon nodded and ate the three skill jades.
"Roar!" I"ve mastered Blood Pollution and Blood Archery! said his pet dragon.
"Okay, I see. Let"s go deeper." Su Bai nodded. It seemed that all the skills that pets could use must be learned here, and only skills corresponding to its attributes could be used.
However, it seemed like his action of transforming most of the Scarlet Wilderness monsters into the Blood Dragon"s subordinates had a positive effect. These skill jades would automatically float toward his pet.
Not long after, the dragon learned two more skills; both of which were primary bloodline skills. There seemed to be no advanced skills here.
"There"s another one there. This jade is relatively large. Maybe the skill inside is good." He looked at a skill jade, which had appeared in his field of vision, and was about to get it when a blood-colored dragon shadow appeared and instantly swept away the jade.
A slim figure then appeared in his line of vision.
"My luck is really good to let me meet you here. Today, I"ll let you know what the strong are made of. Though you have the Ancestor Blood Dragon, it is still useless if you don"t develop it." The woman looked at him and spoke proudly. Her tone was as arrogant as her figure.
This woman was Liu Yiyi, the one who had tried seducing Su Bai previously. Behind her was a huge blood-colored dragon with a body length of one hundred meters. Its body exuded the breath of the peak high-level monarch, b.l.o.o.d.y and terrifying.
This was a Bloodsucker Giant Dragon.
"I"ll give you another chance. If you join my Liu family, I"ll willingly marry you. Provided that you remain loyal to my family, you can do as you please with me.
"If you don"t want to, then I will just send you to h.e.l.l with your Ancestor Blood Dragon!" Liu Yiyi looked at him arrogantly. In her opinion, he had no choice.
The pet skills in this place were sealed, and the compet.i.tion was based on flesh and melee. Her Bloodsucker Giant Dragon, which was at the peak high-level monarch, had a stronger physical fitness comparable to the Blood Dragon, which was a low-level monarch.
Moreover, a giant dragon had much stronger physical strength.
Su Bai glanced at her dragon and asked in a deep voice, "Did your family also send people to chase and intercept me before?"
"It doesn"t matter; you should choose quickly. I don"t want to ruin you, either. Just follow me, and you won"t suffer. Plus, I"m still a virgin—"
"No need; you can stay here today."
"You don"t know what"s good for you. Bloodsucker, shatter this man"s arrogance!" Liu Yiyi frowned and instantly flared up.
"Roar!" The Bloodsucker Giant Dragon"s wings shook, and it rushed toward Su Bai with its huge figure.
Just when its power rushed to Su Bai, its whole body exploded and turned into a large cloud of blood mist with a bang.
"Impossible!" The missy opened her eyes wide, her body stiff in disbelief.
How could such a powerful and big dragon suddenly disappear? How had it exploded out of thin air?
She could not understand how it had died.
She did not expect this attack at all; it had exploded too suddenly.
"Kill her!" said Su Bai solemnly. Since there was already enmity and malice between them, he had no choice but to get rid of her, even though she was a pretty flower.
"Roar!" His pet dragon turned into a b.l.o.o.d.y shadow which rushed over.
"No!" Liu Yiyi yelled in horror upon seeing its sharp claws.
However, at this moment, she also disappeared out of thin air.
"Huh? She was teleported away? I can"t kill people here?" He frowned. Could it be that the death of the blood pet had triggered the teleportation?
He took a deep breath, feeling quite relieved. Fortunately, his current appearance was still fake. He could just deny it once he was outside and find another chance to deal with her.
Su Bai already had plans on how to deal with her once he got out of here.
As for why the Bloodsucker Giant Dragon had died, the fundamental reason was naturally that it had eaten blood ashes and had been quietly transformed into his pet"s blood subordinate.
Ah Bai, my range of perception has increased to a distance of five hundred meters! the Blood Dragon exclaimed in surprise.
Su Bai looked at the three, round moon patterns which had appeared on his arm and nodded. "It"s related to killing a blood monster. Let"s continue walking around."
He understood that blood subordinates were also one of his advantages here. Now, the next step was to find someone to kill.
Ah Bai, there are two people fighting nearby. I can perceive that one of these two is my blood subordinate. After some distance, the dragon spoke suddenly.
"Let"s conceal ourselves nearby and watch the fight. We"ll wait until both sides are injured before attacking."
Su Bai had collected many skill jades along the way, so the Blood Dragon already possessed preliminary combat power.
The dragon launched its primary concealment skill to hide itself and him; it then quietly moved over.
A Blood Scorpion and a Blood Sword Spider of the monarch grade were in the middle of a fight.
The fight between the two was indistinguishable, and it was hard to tell which one got the upper hand.
Su Bai watched silently, and after checking the timing, the dragon rushed up to tear apart the body of the Blood Sword Spider with its claw, killing it directly.
"F*ck! It"s a sneak attack!" spat the Blood Sword Spider Pet Tamer angrily. He released another blood monster, turned around, and slid away.
The Blood Scorpion escaped without saying a word, having no intentions of fighting the Blood Dragon at all. It was about to flee when it turned into a blood mist with a bang.
Su Bai looked at his arm. Seven round moon patterns were displayed after killing the blood monsters.
"Time to change our plan and only look for blood subordinates."
It would be easy for others to take advantage of him if he fought with them.
Judging from the situation here, there should be many blood subordinates around.
After all, the blood ashes were so powerful that most people should be incapable of overcoming the temptation, and there must be quite a lot of blood subordinates already.
"Okay, Ah Bai. The Blood Dragon followed his instruction with a nod.
Half an hour later, with the silent death of blood subordinates, the full moon pattern on Su Bai"s arm completed twelve rounds.
At this time, the power of teleportation appeared out of nowhere again.
