Chapter 61: Giant Peak
“Li Ying, let’s check another route,” Su Ping said to Li Ying as he ran.
Li Ying was taken aback. He didn’t expect Su Ping to give him orders. “You want to take another route?”
“Why don’t we return ho now?” Su Ping asked.
“But...”
He was t with such a strange and dangerous situation the mont he ca out. Li Ying was indeed a little scared, but he wasn’t expecting Su Ping to continue helping him in the search for the Blood Fox.
Although he was a settler and had the guts for the job, a settler was still a human. He only had one life. Anyone would be afraid of death!
Fan Ganglie took a deep look at Su Ping’s back. He said to Li Ying, “Listen to Brother Su. Things can get even more complicated. We can’t afford to delay any further!”
Li Ying had opened his mouth to continue; still, he paused and could only say in the end, “I understand.”
He imdiately sensed his pet and checked the other routes.
At this mont, Lin Mokong had caught up with a few people. His face was extrely gloomy. He had sacrificed his high-level pet as soon as he arrived; it was as if he had cut off a piece of his own flesh and blood!
Upon seeing these figures, a venomous look appeared in Lin Mokong’s eyes, but he quickly kept it in check.
“Huh?” Su Ping turned his head and glanced behind him. He frowned a little when he saw Lin Mokong’s gloomy eyes. His eyes returned to the front, but there was a flash of coldness in them.
“Found it,” Li Ying suddenly said.
“The few Astral Pets on the east path have already moved elsewhere. We won’t bump into them if we make a run for it now,” Li Ying said quickly.
“Let’s go,” Su Ping ordered imdiately.
Fan Ganglie could only swallow what he was about to say since Su Ping had already beat him to it.
Fan Yujing and Li Ying glanced at Fan Ganglie out of habit, to seek confirmation. Seeing that he didn’t object, they quickly followed behind Su Ping.
“Brother Lin, we will think of a way to make it up to you when we return,” Fan Ganglie said to Lin Mokong, who was behind him.
Lin Mokong’s expression turned even colder. “It’s nothing. I was careless.”
“It wasn’t your fault. After all, it’s a new space rift with too many unknown Astral Pets. It’s best for us to be careful,” Fan Ganglie whispered.
Killing intent flashed in Lin Mokong’s eyes, but he didn’t say anything.
Guided by Li Ying’s scouting, the few of them moved forward, getting closer and closer to the depths of the area where the blood fox had gone missing.
“There are Astral Pet demon beasts on the first few routes. Only one route looks viable,” Li Ying reported.
Hearing that it was a similar situation, the expressions of the few people changed slightly.
Su Ping imdiately said, “Let’s take the route with Astral Pet demon beasts first. We can get closer to observe.”
Fan Ganglie hesitated for a mont. As the saying went, once bitten twice shy. He was a little worried, but after thinking about it, their luck couldn’t be so bad; it was unlikely that they would encounter another strange incident so soon.
“According to what Brother Su said, let’s get closer to observe first,” said Fan Ganglie.
“All right.”
Fan Yujing and Li Ying had no objections.
Lin Mokong kept quiet ever since he lost the Codson Python. He was too quiet.
Soon, they arrived at a valley under Li Ying’s lead.
Su Ping reached out to Fan Ganglie.
Fan Ganglie understood what he ant; he passed his detection equipnt to Su Ping.
Su Ping took a look from afar and saw that it was an ordinary fifth-rank Astral Pet. Without any hesitation, he asked his Little Skeleton to attack.
Little Skeleton was very small. Under Su Ping’s order, it imdiately drew out its bone blade and dashed toward the fifth-rank Astral Pet demon beast.
“It’s a fifth-rank Death Spirit.” Li Ying, who was using the instrunt to see the Astral Pet demon beast, handed his equipnt to Fan Ganglie.
Fan Ganglie took a look and heaved a sigh of relief. He was about to ask his Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf to make a move when he suddenly rembered the tragic end of the Codson Python. As a reflex, he asked Su Ping, “Is there a problem with this thing?”
“I already launched an attack,” Su Ping said.
Fan Ganglie was stunned for a mont. He quickly looked over with the equipnt and saw that the Little Skeleton beside Su Ping had arrived before the Death Spirit at so point in ti. Little Skeleton, who was less than half a ter tall, was vastly different from the Death Spirit, which was almost four ters in size. However, the Little Skeleton suddenly leaped up as it approached. A gust of dark black energy was swept out!
Pfft!
As soon as the Death Spirit turned around, it used its sharp claws to counterattack. However, its body suddenly froze as the dark blade aura swept past. Then, it turned into two pieces and fell to the ground, slowly dissipating as black energy.
Fan Ganglie was stunned. Although he had seen Little Skeleton’s strength before, he was still a little surprised to see it again.
Killing a fifth-rank Death Spirit with a single slash was definitely sothing that only a pet of the sixth rank and above could do!
Moreover, although the Death Spirit was an ordinary Undead pet, it was extrely difficult for an ordinary pet to defeat it. This was because its body was made of energy; only energy attacks were effective to defeat it.
Lin Mokong also saw this scene with his equipnt and his eyes flashed.
After Little Skeleton killed the Death Spirit, it imdiately jumped to its corpse and absorbed the leftover death energy.
Su Ping took another look at the surroundings. After making sure there was no danger, he said to Fan Ganglie and the others, “We can move on.”
Once they started walking, Su Ping followed them and positioned himself in the middle of the group.
When they passed through the canyon, they t so Undead skeletons scattered on the ground along the way. They woke up imdiately when they perceived the scent of living creatures, and ford a group to attack Su Ping and the others.
However, all of them were low-level skeletons; the strongest was only at the fourth-rank. They were directly knocked into pieces by Fan Ganglie’s Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf.
After leaving the canyon, a majestic giant peak appeared in front of everyone.
It was an extrely massive mountain.
Its top pierced the sky, seemingly extending into the endless starry sky.
Su Ping felt as if he were standing at the foot of a giant. They didn’t even count as ants when they stood in front of this imnse peak. They were too small.
“The Blood Fox was lost at the base of this mountain peak.” Fan Ganglie looked at the mountain peak with a grave expression.
“I rember the way. Should we go to the place where the Blood Fox was last seen?” Li Ying asked. His eyes road around Fan Ganglie and Su Ping, asking for their opinions.
Fan Ganglie nodded. He then glanced at Su Ping. “It’s highly possible that we’ll encounter a high-level pet on this mountain peak. It’s very dangerous. We t an unknown high-level pet in our previous visit. The team was almost scattered; we managed to escape by sheer luck.”
Su Ping nodded. He searched in his pocket and took out the Fire Dragon Fruit Bottle from the storage space. It was an important thing for him to find the Blood Fox.
Fan Yujing summoned two pets and prepared to fight at any mont.
Fan Ganglie called out another small pet. It was a multi-eared monkey. It was only a fifth-rank pet, but it had a keen hearing and was able to detect pets on land.
Li Ying also summoned a sixth-rank, rock-type pet. It was an earthworm beast. It crawled on the ground and scouted the road ahead.
