| ← Ch.222 | Ch.224 → |
In the morning of the next day, the matter of sealing the space crack officially began. Under the leadership of Professor Scorpio, Su Bai and the others formed a team of four as their class was divided into twelve groups. They attacked twelve different directions of the space crack to break in and surround the monsters, hunting down everything that emerged from within.
There were many types of monsters in the space crack. Although the most terrifying Abyss Dragons and Abyss Demons had not yet appeared, the others were also highly toxic and dangerous.
There were Shadow Sharks that could teleport and liked to sneak in front of Pet Tamers; there were terrible murderous monsters that could kill 1, 000 and only destroy eight hundred of themselves. From time to time, there would be demons and undead army, which would rush out like crazy. As long as someone dared to stand in front of them, they would fight with their lives at stake.
On the battlefield, the elf held its staff high and the ground got covered by boundless Thorns Domain. Any existence that dared to approach it would be entangled by these vines and killed after being sucked of their vitality.
At the heart of the domain, the elf waved its staff as it activated skills to kill some more troublesome monsters.
Su Bai stood within Thorns Domain. On his flanks were Mewling Fox and the Little Tyrant; both were on the edge of Thorns Domain.
The dino grew to a height of ten meters, occasionally throwing out its skill to deal with the monsters coming.
On the other end, Mewling Fox's skills were fancier. It unleashed changing metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light, and dark skills.
After growing to the commander level, it could already use its characteristics proficiently. It learned and comprehended the profound meaning of fantasy from the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox, then its strength caught up with the rest of its siblings.
On the battlefield, it relied on its fantasy system or created illusions to shield the opponent's perception or confuse them.
It did not injure them like the dino did but always used the most suitable skills to hit and restrain monsters, particularly with high efficiency.
The most important thing was that it could learn other people's combat skills.
In the sky was the Electromagnetic Satellite Monster, which had excellent detection capabilities. Su Bai grasped the situation of the entire battlefield by sharing its perception.
The entire battle was slowly advancing under his control, approaching the space crack in the center.
He deliberately maintained a speed similar to the others and did not choose to show off.
In fact, if he were to exert all his strength, they could reach the edge of the space crack in a few hours.
At this time, taking it easy was the best choice.
What no one found was that most of the monsters killed by the cub were caught by the vines and sent behind Su Bai before being thrown into a blue whirlpool hidden by the vine whip and the fantasy.
This blue whirlpool was naturally the mouth of the kraken.
Because its evolution was full of uncertainty, he would feed it as and when.
Whatever it could evolve into would depend on its fate.
"Be careful. There are Gluttons in front. Be careful not to let them swallow the corpses; these guys have terrifying physical power. Jade, you can attack from a distance; find a way to use the intermediate absorption to absorb their vitality.
"Tyrant, you can support with remote firepower." Su Bai reminded his pets. From the field of view of 1314, he found a group of fifty or sixty Gluttons rushing to this side.
These guys did not have a uniform shape and had heads. Some were a cross between humans and pigs, and the others had various animal traits making up their appearances. Their only uniform feature was that they were huge in size and had golden muscles on their bodies. They did not use spiritual power to attack and were extremely sensitive to dead bodies.
This was a conventional method of judgment, and there was still a possibility of misjudgment. However, to Su Bai, misjudgment did not exist, and he knew the information of these guys at a glance.
After these guys rushed over, they suddenly split into three groups. Two groups ran toward Lu Shuang and Feng Ming on the left and right of Su Bai.
There were undoubtedly more monster corpses at their side, and the appeal of that to these Gluttons was undoubtedly greater. This was why only a dozen of them rushed to him.
"Feng Ming, Lu Shuang, be careful; there are Gluttons heading your way!" He asked 1314 to connect to the communication device, then he passed a message to the two before focusing on dealing with the monsters on his end.
"Leave one alive and get rid of the rest." He instructed and let his pets attack.
"Hing!" Fantasy fluctuations erupted from Mewling Fox's body, and it smashed over with its fixed body skill, relying on tyrannical mind power to hold them off.
The reason why it did not use other fantasy control skills was that the Gluttons did not have souls, so any control skills against souls were basically ineffective.
The elf waved its staff to launch a withered skill. The skill fell on the gluttons, and it seemed like time had accelerated. Their bodies rapidly aged, and their vitality quickly withered.
When the fixed body skill was lifted, these Gluttons wanted to start swallowing the corpses around, but all of a sudden, Thorns Domain suddenly rose from under their feet, and with a wave of the elf's staff, these Gluttons were bound by the metal-like dark green vines.
In the form of Limitless Beauty, the elf stood at the center of the domain with the staff gripped in its hand. It looked like a peerless queen, glamorous and noble, as if it had the right to live and kill everything in its domain.
"Roar!" Don't these guys seem to be too strong?
Instead of using Dead Cocoon, the dino bombed the Gluttons to pieces with Blighted Fireball.
Only one rabbit-shaped Glutton, which was protected by the elf, was kept alive.
"Mewling Fox, seal it up, " Su Bai said.
Yes, my master.
The fox flicked its tail lightly and sealed the Glutton with a special spiritual seal.
At this time, Su Bai noticed that the Glutton on Lu Shuang's side seemed to have grown up. It was a humanoid monster with a pig head, which reached the height of more than thirty meters after swallowing the corpse of a monster on that side. Moreover, its breath had also reached the monarch grade.
Now, its breath was becoming more and more terrifying, such that it seemed able to absorb the flesh and blood of dead monsters out of thin air.
"Oink, oink..."
It let out a pig cry and hit the ground with a punch. A crack spread toward Lu Shuang.
Lu Shuang saw that the situation was not right and released two main battle pets again. However, after the improvement of the Glutton's physical body, the speed of this guy was too fast, and it almost came to the front in the blink of an eye.
In close combat, Lu Shuang's pets steadily retreated. The all-brawn monarch monsters were too strong, and the most terrifying thing was that they had begun to absorb the monster corpses from the entire battlefield, causing their aura to rise continuously.
The pig-headed Glutton smashed the air directly with a resounding punch and hit the Ice Ghost, which was trying to release its control skills.
The Ice Ghost of the ghost attribute did not have time to become an apparition and was directly severely injured.
If not for its ghost characteristics, it might have already become a corpse at this time.
"Roar!" The pig-headed Glutton burst into a red light again, directly absorbing all the dead corpses in the area where Lu Shuang was located. Its aura rose again, almost reaching the emperor grade.
"Help!" Lu Shuang sent a call for help directly on the public channel.
"Howl!" Are we going to save them?
The elf turned to look at Su Bai.
"I already asked Professor Scorpio for help. Too many monsters are surrounding us; I can't make it through them." He showed a skeptical look."If you get hurt, the loss will be too great for me."
"I understand." The elf glanced at him and nodded.
Not long after, he saw a red starburst came out of Scorpio's tail as it flew over from the distance.
Feeling a fatal threat to its life, the pig-headed Glutton turned around and ran. It filled a distance of several kilometers in an instant.
Unfortunately, it failed to avoid the red starburst. It turned its head, and the red starburst pierced its heart.
The dark red flame burned, turning the Glutton into ashes as it writhed and roared in pain, leaving only a dark red crystal nucleus in the end.
Impressive! The dino's eyes widened as it stared at this scene.
"It's okay. You'll be stronger than this in the future." He glanced at it and said with a smile.
Now that this matter was resolved, everyone began to push forward the encirclement, but the monsters in the crack seemed endless. They could not be killed no matter how hard they tried.
As it went on, the monsters seemed to increase further, and it became impossible for the pets to fight them endlessly.
However, the Pet Alliance seemed to have realized this. When it was dark, another university was sent to replace them, and the two teams rotated.
"Ah, f*ck! I'm exhausted." The Pet Tamers rushed to camp while complaining.
"If this carries on, I don't know how we can end this. This time, the situation appears to be a little different, " Lu Shuang walked over and said.
"I also think something is wrong; let's wait a few days to see the situation, " Feng Ming said.
"Yes, let's wait for them to seal the space crack first." Liu Yong agreed.
"Let's go back to camp and rest for a while." Su Bai also felt that something was wrong, but it might just be because the monsters in Heavenly Abyss were originally different from other monsters.
As soon as he got back to the tent, an unfamiliar number called his phone.
Although they were in the sky, the signal was not bad because of the electromagnetic satellite monsters around.
Ah Bai, I received the signal. According to my detection, the caller is less than ten kilometers away from us. His Electromagnetic Satellite Monster reported.
"Okay, I understand." He thought about it a little and had a guess on who it was.
"Hello?" He answered the call.
"Big brother, it's me, Ouyang Du. We brought the Planet's Core that you want, and it's not far from your camp. Please come out and accept it." The man's voice came through the phone.
"Okay, I understand. I'll come out soon. You can wait for me on the iceberg in front of you, " he responded.
Ouyang Du froze for a moment, wondering how the other knew his position.
"Yes, I understand."
However, he stopped thinking about it and just quickly responded.
Su Bai hung up and walked out, finding an excuse that he would look for an animal to eat.
"Howl?" What are we going to do next? the cub asked curiously.
"You'll know when you go, but this matter has nothing to do with you; it has something to do with the dragon, " he said.
"Roar?" Me? Blood Dragon's voice sounded in his mind.
"Yes, you. I'll need your help later; just listen to my arrangements." Su Bai nodded.
"Okay, I understand."
He rode on the cub and quickly arrived at the rendezvous point.
He went up the mountain and directly found Ouyang Du, who was hiding halfway through.
However, what surprised him was that a girl in black was beside the man.
"Hello, big brother." The man first greeted him and then pointed to the black-clothed girl."This is my partner. The core of the heterochromatic planet here was obtained by the two of us. We lost a lot of pets for this."
"Hello, Han Wei." Su Bai glanced at the girl and said casually.
"Hello, big brother." Han Wei nodded slightly and bowed.
After exchanging greetings, he looked at the two and asked, "Can you release the planet's core?"
The two glanced at each other, nodded, and took out a transparent glass ball the size of a basketball. At the center of the ball was a tied golden liquid metal ball.
Su Bai took a look and was sure that it was the core of the alien planet.
Usually, a planet's core was of a mass of solid metal, and only this heterochromatic one was a mass of liquid metal.
A planet's core was said to be a special monster formed by the falling of stars, and all had the possibility of being transformed into a planet again.
The liquid metal ball was more useful as it could change its shape at will. After learning some knowledge, it could complete various mechanical equipment and various weapons with its special abilities.
Su Bai also knew another function of a planet's core through photos; it could blend into the core of a planet and control its movements, including some of its conditions on the surface.
However, this was an ability that could only be achieved after evolution to reach a high-level planet's core.
The reason why he said that he wanted this thing was so he could study it.
"Very well. I'm very satisfied. You two have passed the test; I believe in you now, " he took the planet's core, nodded, and said.
"Thank you, big brother; this is our responsibility." The two nodded and waited for him to go on.
Su Bai looked at the two people, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I'll give you two choices now.
"One, I'll give you a simpler disciple assessment difficulty, which can change you from an elite disciple to a core disciple.
"Two, I can help you convert your dragons into blood pets. It's not a problem to make them pure-bloods with the Ancestor Blood Dragon's ability.
"In this way, although you can directly become core disciples, you will be tagged with me. You can think about your decisions and tell me; I'll give you three minutes."
"We choose the second option. We want a pure-blood dragon pet. We're also willing to follow you and help you to compete for the curator position, " said the two in unison after thinking for a while.
They both understood that if they did not have pure-blood dragons, even if they became core disciples, they would still be excluded from the circle.
Instead of this, it was better to go directly to Su Bai and then enter the most advanced circle of disciples in one fell swoop.
Although there were lots of risks, even if they lost, it would be nothing more than being excluded from the core rights, which was of no pity for the two of them.
"If that's the case, then you should release your dragons and let me see their conditions." Su Bai nodded, satisfied with their choice.
