The lava river was surging and tumbling, and the hot airflow mixed with the smell of sulfur diffused. They could not help but give up breathing as they activated Internal Breath one after another.
No one acted hastily, all looking at Zhu Xiaopeng and his team for instructions.
Zhu Xiaopeng glanced at the other side, nodded, and said, “It seems that this world isn’t big. Let’s go and take a look.
“You two with flying pets, go over and guard the area. The rest will cross the river.”
“Jade, build a bridge.”
Upon hearing that they were going across the river, Su Bai directly patted the cub on his shoulder.
He had placed it on his shoulder because the cub felt uncomfortable being in contact with the hot ground.
“Howl~” Leave it to me~
Nodding, spiritual power exploded from the cub’s body. Several vines emerged from the ground, quickly growing thick and long. They finally spread across the river of magma to form a huge vine-made bridge.
“Let’s go.” He glanced at the others and crossed the river first.
“Let’s cross the river through this bridge built by Su Bai.” Without saying anything else, Zhu Xiaopeng walked up with his pet. The others did not hesitate and followed them.
“Hmph. I can cross without this bridge. Li Chao, l’ll bring you along.” Zhao Wei snorted coldly and told the man who was with him.
His pet was a Water Enchantress which could float.
“Okay.” Li Chao nodded.
Haha! They’re really annoying; Ah Bai didn’t even provoke them. I don’t want him to cross using my bridge too; be careful of being eaten by the Lava Crocodiles! The cub glared at the two people fiercely, very unhappy with them. They had been targeting its master ever since the start.
“Roar?” Ah Bai, do you want me to get rid of them?
Little Tyrant was also very upset.
“No, just stay away from them.” He shook his head, able to understand the men’s rationale.
Those who had an inferiority complex, the more generous someone was, the more they would feel that they were being targeted.
After everyone had crossed the river, they dispersed to continue their exploration.
Once the river of magma was behind them, they noted that the density of monsters had increased, but for these Pet Tamers with commander pets, these were all small and easy-to-overcome matters.
“Hey, why do you think that these monsters are completely inexhaustible and the space cracks are everywhere? What is going on? The universe is so big; why do they hold on to Blue Planet? Our world doesn’t seem to have anything for them to covet. We even dig spirit crystals in another world, which means that these monsters are born in places wealthier and more prosperous than Blue Planet, but why have they been coming here for more than a hundred years wave upon wave?”
Liu Baihe’s puzzled voice rang through their communication devices.
For a while, everyone was quiet as they thought about this issue.
Exactly why?
Was it not nice in another world with abundant spiritual power?
Why did they want to go to Blue Planet?
Su Bai had actually thought about this question a long time ago, but he still could not find the answer to the question.
“I don’t know,” he replied, drawing out a short knife to stab a color-changing snake that was attacking him. With a puff, the color-changing snake was directly pierced by his knife.
For these servant monsters, he could now kill them by himself.
“No one knows the answer, and we humans probably can’t find the answer ourselves. Perhaps the higher levels know it, or they are also looking for the answer. Let’s concentrate on the task at hand; maybe we’ll know when our status improves.” Zhu Xiaopeng ended this topic.
The others also stopped harping on this matter. It was too difficult a problem.
“At the end of the world ahead, there’s a monarch monster lair.” After ten more kilometers, Liu Feng flew back on his Green Wind Dog and reported his discovery.
“Roar!”
With a roar from the depths, a double-winged monster resembling a red lotus Godzilla flew into the sky and pursued their group.
It opened its mouth and spewed out a series of extremely terrifying flame tornadoes toward them. The Godzilla-like monster also absorbed the spiritual power of the fire attribute in heaven and earth to strengthen itself as it flapped its wings.
Liu Feng and the other police, who were flying in the sky, were hit the worst. They were directly beaten down by a few attacks from the monster, while Su Bai and the rest escaped these flame tornadoes because of their positions.
“It’s a mid-level sovereign Flame Lord. Su Bai, do you have a way to deal with it? No, let’s find a way to withdraw. Everyone has more or less gotten the situation here,” Zhu Xiaopeng asked quickly over his communication device.
“Let’s just flee fast. This monster can’t be beaten; it’s too strong. It can fly, so there’s no way for us to besiege it.” Before Su Bai could speak, Li Chao took the lead to say.
“Yes, let’s run away and keep our lives. If we die, we’ll die in vain. Has such a young master like Su Bai faced a monster in the wild before?
“Competition play is fatal here; we’re putting our lives on the line by doing so.
“He even said that he has a monarch-grade combat power; who would believe that? Who knows if he really has a monarch pet in his hand? This Flame Lord is so scary; I think that it’s still more important to save our lives.” Zhao Wei also spoke discourteously.
“I also recommend leaving; there is no need to fight,” Liu Baihe also said.
Who knew what Su Bai’s monarch-grade combat power was based on?
His claim was too vague.
They were unwilling to take risks, especially since the monster was not one they must deal with.
“I can make it unable to use its fire skills. If you think we must leave, then leave, captain. I have no problem with that,” Su Bai glanced at the Fire Lord in the sky and said.
At this moment, the monster fired a barrage of flame tornadoes. The power of its attacks became more and more terrifying, and it was difficult to simply dodge them all.
“We believe in you. Let’s charge!
“As for Li Chao and the others, you guys can retreat first; wait for us later.” Zhu Xiaopeng gritted his teeth and decided to believe in Li Xue. He did not believe that Li Xue would recommend someone who could only play competitively. Since he was Comrade Li’s junior brother, how could he be easy to provoke?
After speaking, he brought his other four teammates to Su Bai’s side.
“Tyrant, go ahead.” Su Bai instructed. The thought of fleeing had never crossed his mind.
“Roar!” Hey, you in the sky, die now!
The Purgatory Fire Thief’s figure soared to fifteen meters in an instant, and its head popped out of the forest.
A powerful elemental fire shot forth from its body, then blighted fireballs smashed into the sky. The power of every fireball was not less than an intercontinental missile.
The dino possessed the attack might of a monarch.
Flame Lord, which was faced with the attacks, had to flicker to avoid these.
At that moment, the sky was lit just like a fireworks display. One fireball exploded after another, looking incredibly dazzling.
Wow, his pet is so powerful! Is this his real strength?
Others could not help but be stunned. No wonder he had a monarch-grade combat power; this Fireball skill was scary enough, and none of them could handle it.
“What do you need us to do?” Zhu Xiaopeng and the others leaned over and asked.
“Bring the monster down to subdue it; I can make my pet activate his Fire Theft skill so that the monster can’t use its fire skill.
“I have other control pets here; you just have to lure it down,” Su Bai responded.
In fact, if they were not here to pull his legs, he could directly solve the battle by releasing the Blood Dragon.
“Don’t worry; leave this small matter to us.” Zhu Xiaopeng patted his chest. This kind of thing should be left for them to handle.
After speaking, the five people rushed over with their pets and began to pull the enemy down.
“What should we do? Shall we go up and help? It seems like Su Bai really has a few tricks up his sleeves,” Li Chao looked at Zhao Wei and asked.
Zhao Wei frowned, his face gloomy. “Do you dare to go into the Flame Lord’s lair?”
“Wait. You want to… steal the gains from their hard work?”
Li Chao opened his eyes wide. This idea was crazy.
“Why? Don’t you dare? Hmph. It’s fine as long as we don’t take everything and just take a few. If we hide our action well, it’ll be impossible for them to discover it.
“Regardless if they fight or not, we can get half of the benefits. This is the lair of a monarch monster. I don’t have to tell you what sorts of treasures there are inside, do I?” Zhao Wei sneered coldly.
“Okay, let’s do it.” Li Chao gritted his teeth and agreed. It was crazy, but he was actually moved.
“Hmph. Even if we’re discovered, no one owns any treasures in the wild. Whoever gets it first is the owner; we’re not doing anything wrong!”
Zhao Wei sneered. He hid himself and set off toward the Flame Lord’s lair.
On the other side, the pets of Zhu Xiaopeng and others kept harassing the Flame Lord. Although their attacks were not fatal, they still managed to hurt and eventually anger the monster.
“Roar!” The Fire Lord let out a terrifying roar. These several puny creatures dared to provoke it; it would tear them apart.
Its wings shook as it swooped down, heading straight for Zhu Xiaopeng’s Silver Moon Wolf.
With a bang, it reached the ground; a paw then tore at the Silver Moon Wolf’s back, almost cutting it in half.
“Fox, Jade!”
Following his order, the cub jumped from his shoulder and into the air. A green light flashed from its body, then it turned into the beautiful Limitless Beauty. The staff in the elf’s hand was raised high as it unleashed Thorns Domain immediately, such that countless thorns and vines rose from the ground.
It waved the staff in the palm of its hand again to activate Forest Cluster. Countless vines and the trees in the forest all turned into puppets, which rushed toward the Flame Lord.
Realizing that it had been fooled, the Flame Lord tried to escape. Alas, at this time, the Six-tailed Magic Fox Queen suddenly appeared not far from it. A dream bubble fell upon it, and its hypnotic and paralyzing skills worked in tandem to cause the monster’s body to stagnate for a second.
This one second was enough for countless tree puppets to reach the monster. When they engaged the Flame Lord into a scuffle, they steadily absorbed the latter’s spiritual power, all the while pouring countless hypnotic powder and toxins into its body.
“Roar!” The Flame Lord burst forth with infinite purple flames. For the sake of preserving its life, it did not hesitate to use its origin to ignite flames. This caused the flames’ temperature around it to rise rapidly until they reached several thousand degrees. The tree puppets transformed, which had been using ordinary trees, were burned into ashes, and those transformed by vines also ignited into flames. They could not withstand this high temperature that was about to exceed 10,000 degrees.
Zhu Xiaopeng, on the side, was surprised to see this scene, and they got ready to come and help.
“Don’t come over—leave!” Su Bai shouted.
Just when the Flame Lord was about to break free, the Purgatory Fire Thief rushed over. A transparent fire flashed from its hammer as the dino pressed it onto the Flame Lord’s body. It stole the latter’s fiery fire and then vomited it out.
“Roar!” Stunned, the Flame Lord roared in anger. Where was its fire? Why was it unusable? Ahhhh! This d*mn creature!
Your life has come to an end.
Purple Jade raised its staff, and all the trees in the forest withered and fell at once. At the same time, the vitality of the Flame Lord also withered away.
“Roar!” Your crystal nucleus is mine! Little Tyrant let out a roar. It approached the monster with its Death Collision activated and then hit the latter’s heart with Crush Claw.
Puff! Puff!
Blood spurted everywhere. The dino grabbed the opponent’s crystal nucleus before withdrawing its claws, not at all caring about the blood dripping on its body.
With a bang, the eyes of the Flame Lord dimmed and it fell to the ground.
Zhu Xiaopeng and the others were all stunned. Only at this moment did they come to know the terrifying strength this seemingly peaceful young man possessed.
His hunting and killing techniques were perfectly sync. Even at one glance, it was obvious that he had experienced countless fights. Sure enough, East Capital Heavenly Abyss University’s top student did not disappoint.
“Help, help!”
At this time, a miserable cry of help sounded in the direction of the lair.
Su Bai and the others turned their heads over to see that that it was Li Chao and Zhao Wei who were calling for help.
“Help! Su Bai, help! There are monsters inside!” The two waved to him as if they were clutching at the last straw.
“Save us; you must save us!”
“Why are they there? Su Bai, help me save them.” Zhu Xiaopeng saw the two people and got up to save them.
“Sorry, My pets have exhausted too much energy.”
Su Bai shrugged without any expression on his face. He dug his ear with his little finger and then blew on it.
“Roar!”
Immediately afterward, a spider with six wings on its back flew out. A terrifying monster with a scorpion tail followed closely behind. The latter’s hideous mouthparts sucked the two people, who turned into corpses with their pets and were blown away by the wind.
“It’s the peak high-level monarch Soul-crushing Curse! Su Bai, quickly flee! After we separate, we must reveal this news!”
Zhu Xiaopeng’s face fell and he shouted. This monster had a dual attribute of undead and spirit, which was a hundred times more terrifying than the Flame Lord.
Facing this kind of monster, if everyone ran away, they would all be dead. Hence, someone must stay behind. Zhu Xiaopeng and the other policemen must naturally do their part. The uniforms on their bodies did not allow them to escape first.
Liu Feng and Liu Baihe, who had been rushing here in the distance, saw this terrifying monster and turned around wordlessly.
Just when Zhu Xiaopeng and the others thought that Su Bai would leave, a cold icicle smashed toward the Soul-crushing Curse.
“Hey, come here!”
Su Bai stood on the back of the Ice Phoenix, hooking his finger toward the Soul-crushing Curse.
Hit, the monster chased him without hesitation. A series of gray energy balls headed to the Ice Phoenix.
“Quack!” It’s so dangerous! So dangerous! the phoenix yelled while dodging the attacks.
“Su Bai, what are you doing? Quickly come back! We don’t need you to sacrifice yourself!” Zhu Xiaopeng yelled. He had never thought that Su Bai would stand up at this time. He actually wanted to sacrifice himself to let them leave. The five men were stunned for a while, and their eyes seemed to glisten.
“Don’t think too much; I can get rid of it. Don’t come over and make trouble for me!” replied Su Bai through the mini communication device before instructing his pet to fly into the depths of this space crack fast.
He was naturally not as noble as these policemen; he did it because he was confident in killing this Soul-crushing Curse.
Soon, it reached the end of this space crack. A larger lava lake lay before him, and Su Bai had no way of escape.
“Coward! Let’s see where you can escape to?” Soul-crushing Curse looked at Su Bai in ridicule, wanting to see his desperate look. The desperate mood before the death of prey was one of its favorite food.
“Tyrant, it’s up to you now!” Su Bai’s contract book opened in the air, and Little Tyrant’s figure rushed out. It leaped high in the air and attacked the Soul-crushing Curse.
“Evolve!”
With a single shout, the contract book enveloped the Little Tyrant’s body with red beams. Its body instantly soared to three hundred meters high, and then a pair of red lava wings emerged from its back which nearly blotted out the sky and the sun. Several meters of black sharp bones burst out of its joints.
This was the evolved Purgatory Fire Thief, Lava Killer.
“Designated enhanced skill, Fire Thief Slayer.” Su Bai slid his finger across the emerald page and finally pressed harder on a row of gray runes. A scarlet beam shot out and fell on the Little Tyrant.
“Roar!” Give me your crystal nucleus!
Lava Killer leaped high, and infinite power gathered on its claw. It then punched the Soul-crushing Curse once.
The Soul-crushing Curse was directly smashed to the ground following a bang, its whole body broken into countless fragments.
In the next moment, the characteristics of its undead system came into play, resurrecting it again. However, its aura had dropped by one level, and it was now only a mid-level monarch.
“Die!”
Little Tyrant beat it to death with a single punch. The claw contained an enhanced Fire Theft skill, so its life-taking power was magnified countless times. The unguarded Soul-crushing Curse had no chance to survive. It was resurrected ten consecutive times and killed more than a dozen times by the dino. Finally, its breath fell to the low-level servant and died once and for all.
The dino changed back to its size of fifteen meters and lay motionlessly on the ground. Only its slightly turning eyes proved that it was still alive.
The time it took to force the evolution this time was much longer than the last time the Blue Sea Kraken evolved. The consumption was also greater and much more serious. At this time, part of its origin had been hollowed out.
“Return to the contract book to recover your energy. I’ll heal you once we’re back. Perceive your evolutionary feeling well,” Su Bai touched its head and said before putting the dino inside his contract book.
The reason why Little Tyrant was forced to evolve to kill the Soul-crushing Curse instead of directly letting the Blood Dragon defeat the opponent was that Su Bai wanted it to feel the feeling of evolving into a Lava Killer.
This was another indirect effect of the blood moon divine skill. The skill could force pets to evolve untimely, which was actually a valuable experience for the pets as it had a greater effect on their evolution.
This was why the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox had agreed to sign a contract with him. To those extreme pets, which had reached their peak and the end of their evolution, even they did not know what and how they could evolve.
The forced evolution of the divine skill was tantamount to opening up a path for them.
After keeping the dino, Su Bai released Purple Jade again. He went over and raised his hand to put away the crystal nucleus of the Soul-crushing Curse. This thing could be added to Little Tyrant’s catalytic potion for its evolution.
The Soul-crushing Curse was actually another evolutionary direction for the Little Tyrant. At the end of the evolution was Hell Soul Eater. The Fire Lord was just another evolutionary direction for the dino. With a different direction of evolution, the changes at the end would be even greater. Although the Soul-crushing Curse was no longer similar to the Little Tyrant, its crystal nucleus and the death stone in its lair were catalytic materials for evolving the dino into a Lava Killer.
The crystal nuclei of such undead monsters would only appear when they were completely killed. As long as they were still alive, the crystal nuclei would be scattered in various parts of the body.
In fact, even if the dino evolved, it would be impossible for it to kill the Soul-crushing Curse so easily. The main reason was carelessness and it being of the same origin as the dino.
“Did you really kill the Soul-crushing Curse?” Zhu Xiaopeng asked incredulously. They really could not imagine how Su Bai had killed the terrifying existence of a high-level monarch.
He was just a newly enrolled college student, too. Were freshmen so strong this year?
For a while, they did not know what to say. He was definitely the youngest powerhouse they had ever seen in their lives.
They had been so moved by him earlier, but now it seemed like he had just been confident of his abilities.
“Yes, I used my trump card. I don’t want people to know of it, so please understand.” Su Bai took the crystal nucleus and spoke with a smile.
“Hahaha! It’s okay. Everyone has a secret.”
“Yes, yes. As long as you are okay.”
Zhu Xiaopeng and the other two policemen nodded repeatedly, impressed by the youth.
“Okay, let’s go into their lair to collect the battle gains.”
Su Bai stepped onto Ice Phoenix’s back and invited the others. The den of these two monsters were on an island in the middle of the magma lake.
“You can take everything; we don’t want it.” Zhu Xiaopeng shook his head.
“I only want the monarch-grade ones. There are a lot of commander-grade materials; are you sure that you don’t want them?” Su Bai spread his hands and gestured to them. The Ice Phoenix took off under his feet and went to the center of the magma lake.
Lots of fiery red lotuses are in the magma lake. Unfortunately, the dino has become too weak, and there’s no way to pick the lotus roots below, exclaimed Purple Jade.
“Quack.” Good Sister Jade, I can also get them; I’m not afraid of these flames, the Ice Phoenix responded.
They saw an egg inside the nest at the center.
The Flame Lord and Soul-crushing Curse were actually a pair.
Uninterested in the egg, Su Bai walked over and found several monarch-grade dead soul stones including a few fire attribute ores and purgatory flames.
He decisively took them.
After collecting the treasures on his end, the Ice Phoenix also dug out sovereign-grade Scarlet Fire Crystal Lotus Root and Scarlet Fire Red Lotus.
“Don’t you want anything else? You don’t want this egg, either? This is a good thing. If you don’t want to take it, we can’t take it, either,” Zhu Xiaopeng said.
Su Bai: “…”
He said helplessly, “Then I’ll take it away.”
He prepared to go out and sell or give it away.
After taking away the treasures here, they set out and were ready to go back.
Su Bai originally wanted to use the magma’s fire-attribute light balls, but because the Little Tyrant was unable to move now and Zhu Xiaopeng and the others were there, he decided to give up on the idea.
By the exit of the space crack, Liu Baihe and two policemen, who had gone out first, were evacuating the villagers when they saw four figures emerging from the space crack.
“You guys are still alive?”
“How did you survive, Su Bai?”
Liu Baihe and Liu Feng asked one after another, their faces full of inconceivableness. They had actually survived the peak high-level monarch Soul-crushing Curse. This was completely impossible.
The two policemen and a group of villagers were also dumbfounded.
“There’s no need to evacuate the villagers. The two monarch monsters inside have been killed by Su Bai. This space crack is basically safe now,” Zhu Xiaopeng announced. When he finished speaking, he motioned for the youth to produce evidence.
Su Bai raised his hand and took out their crystal nuclei from his backpack.
“K-Killed… How’s that… possible?” Liu Feng looked at the two crystal nuclei with wide eyes. If not for the blood and traces of the initial volatilization on the crystal nuclei, he really wanted to suspect that they were fake.
“Su Bai, how strong are you… really?” Liu Baihe took a breath and asked. The youth had completely refreshed her understanding of East Capital Heavenly Abyss University.
This kind of person was actually just a freshman. It was simply outrageous.
“No comment,” he glanced at the girl and replied indifferently.
“Thank you. Thank you so much. Please go to the village and let us do our best to host you. Thank you so much for helping us solve this crisis. Our village still has some funds. Let us show our appreciation, so please accept them.” The village chief came over to thank him repeatedly.
“There’s no need for dinner. You can transfer the appreciation gift to my account.”
Su Bai took out a paper and pen to write his bank account.
This was what he deserved. He had refused the commander-grade materials earlier because he admired the policemen and wanted to give the materials to them.
“…Okay.”
The village chief was stunned for a moment. It was the first time he had seen such a straightforward person.
“Officer Zhu, there should be nothing wrong here anymore. I’ll take my leave now; we shall meet again if destined.” He turned around and stepped onto the Ice Phoenix’s back.
“Goodbye and thank you.” Zhu Xiaopeng and the others quickly stood at attention and gave a military salute to him. This time, Su Bai had helped them too much. This young man would be remembered by them forever.
“Goodbye!”
Waving his hand while on the Ice Phoenix’s back, he quickly disappeared from their sight.
Liu Baihe and Liu Feng raised their hands halfway and put them down again. Indeed, having fled halfway through, they were unworthy of saying goodbye to Su Bai.
Both of them felt quite bitter, having come to the realization that the figure gradually moving away was at a height they would never reach.
“You think he is a rich second generation, right?” Zhu Xiaopeng glanced at Liu Baihe.
“Isn’t he?” she asked rhetorically.
He shook his head slightly. “No, his family is in Carp Town. He only paid one million for his beginner material. What do you think?”
The two fell silent. If this was the case, then they really had nothing to complain about. Li Chao and Zhao Wei deserved their deaths.
“In terms of his fighting skills and commanding ability, he has definitely experienced more than 10,000 battles and isn’t like what your classmates suggested. Origin and education have never been problems. The problem is that many people are overly arrogant.”
Zhu Xiaopeng shook his head. “I’ll truthfully report the deaths of Li Chao and Zhao Wei as well as you two’s performance.”
After speaking, he went to do other things.
Liu Baihe and Liu Feng exhaled. When Li Chao and the others mocked Su Bai, they kept silent because they actually agreed with what they said deep down.
They thought that Su Bai only won because he had better family conditions. Now, they deeply felt how ridiculous they had been.
