Chapter 737: Killing Feast

“Cousin, why are you always so nosy and overly friendly? See? He doesn’t want to talk to you!” The girl named Karina pointed with her chin at Harry.

Of course, she didn’t say it out aloud. It was just a telepathic message.

Su Ping saw this as the girl merely gesturing.

Harry smiled and also said telepathically, “It never hurts to stay vigilant on a trip. You should learn from her, or you may be easily tricked and lured away while in the Hugh Mia Academy!”

“Humph! I wouldn’t have been admitted by the Hugh Mia Academy in the first place if I were stupid!” Karina snorted with arms akimbo.

Harry was amused by her answer, choosing to let the matter rest.

They talked about other things while on the way, but it was inconvenient and uncomfortable with Su Ping in the middle, so they all closed their eyes and took a rest.

There were three continents and an ocean between Woffett and Kroline Island. The plane would make two brief stops; it wouldn’t be a direct flight.

After all, Rhea was too large a planet. A plane would run out of gas if it were to fly from the south pole to the north pole.

Su Ping had at one point asked a flight attendant and learned that the trip would take four hours. It was definitely a long-haul transit.

That made Su Ping slightly anxious. After all, he had planned to make enough money to purchase the Thunder Ocean Fruit in the last day left once he accomplished the quest.

It seemed that he would have to count on his luck.

The Pet Aptitude Book to be rewarded by the ongoing quest was obviously ten times more important than the Thunder Ocean Fruit!

Time zipped by.

Harry and his group took food from a small storage treasure in the middle of the trip. They offered a piece of homemade bread to Su Ping, but he kindly refused it.

They didn’t say anything else, seeing how vigilant Su Ping was.

In fact, Su Ping wasn’t being at all vigilant. His resistance to poison was already special-grade. He would be fine even if he were to French kiss a Fate State poisonous beast. He simply refused the bread because of the glittering dressing that he thought would be bad for his teeth.

Expensive food wasn’t necessarily delicious.

The four-hour flight finally came to an end. Whispers echoed in the quiet cabin when the plane was about to arrive. Almost all the travelers who were still on the planet at this moment were going to Kroline Island.

Their main purpose was to hunt Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons on the Rumbling Thunder Continent.

There were a lot fewer passengers on the plane, but it was still at about half capacity. After all, many planet pioneers had traveled to Rhea for hunting during the thunder dragon tide season.

“Look, Kroline Island is right there!”

“Do you see that? Right there! It’s the Rumbling Thunder Continent!”

“Do you mean the bright purple…”

A lot of people were discussing. Most of them were settled in groups. Very few of them were lone explorers like Su Ping.

A hint of purple color could be seen through the plane windows, which was a view of the vast sea under the clouds. All that everybody could see was a thin line on the horizon since it was still too far away.

The plane landed soon after.

Everybody left the plane in order. Su Ping said goodbye to Harry and his fellows and then departed through the terminal hall.

He then saw hotels everywhere as soon as he got out. There were also battle pet warriors, many of whom were in the Ocean State. Some of them were in the third or fourth ranks, but they were clearly not adventurers; they were working as drivers, waiters, and so on.

“What a lively place!”

While Su Ping looked at the crowded island with teams of explorers everywhere, a young man suddenly jumped to him and said with a smile, “Bro, do you need a place to stay? The hotel I work for can offer you secret guides to hunt the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons!”

“Secret guides? Tell me about it,” said Su Ping, even though he knew that the guy was a fraud.

The young man became even more excited after getting Su Ping’s attention. He said with a smile, “It’s a secret that must not be revealed easily. Our boss will tell you all about it after you check in at our hotel. His family has been living here for three generations and he knows many secrets that outsiders don’t. I’m certainly not bragging!”

Oh, you certainly are!

Su Ping was laughing on the inside, but he kept a calm and cool appearance as he replied, “Grab my interest with some of the secrets first.”

The young man was stunned by Su Ping’s calm attitude, not expecting him to be so difficult to deal with. He looked around and then said to Su Ping telepathically, “Bro, I can tell you one secret right off the bat, which is also a piece of advice. The Thunderous Dragon Tide hasn’t reached the peak yet. The most suitable day for hunting is three days from now. The Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons on the Rumbling Thunder Continent are at their most violent before giving birth! It’s very dangerous to go there right now!”

He spoke so seriously it almost seemed as if he meant it.

Su Ping looked at him and felt regretful. He couldn’t wait for three days, whether the information was true or not.

“How about this… Do you have a map of the Rumbling Thunder Continent?” asked Su Ping.

The young man quickly nodded. “You will receive a map for free if you choose to stay in our hotel.”

“I won’t be staying; you can just sell a map to me. What’s the price?” asked Su Ping straightly.

“…” The young man knew that it wasn’t easy to trick Su Ping given his attitude. He heaved a sigh and could only say, “What a shame. I wasn’t lying to you. A map of the Rumbling Thunder Continent would cost you a hundred thousand astral coins. It’s a special offer to foreigners traveling from other planets. We the people of Rhea are always friendly.”

You’re charging me a higher price because I’m from another planet, right? Su Ping finally learned what it meant to be a black-hearted merchant. One map for a hundred grand? It was a straight out robbery!

“Give it to me,” said Su Ping, not wanting to waste any more time.

The young man was stunned; Su Ping didn’t even try to bargain with him. He quickly took out a pile of maps and gave one copy to Su Ping. He said, “Let me tell you, my map was personally drawn by our hotel’s boss. He enters the Rumbling Thunder Continent in special seasons every year and knows the terrain like the back of his hand. You’ll definitely capture a Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon if you rely on this map!”

Su Ping chuckled and accepted the map. He found that it was indeed detailed, so he simply memorized the map and asked, “Say, how can I reach the Rumbling Thunder Continent?”

“You’re going there now?”

The young man’s expression changed. He said, “Dude, I wasn’t lying to you. It’s fine even if you don’t stay in our hotel, but what I told you is true; it would be better to go there in three days. That’s when most people go hunting…”

Su Ping looked at him and nodded. He said, “Thanks, but I’m in a hurry.”

“…”

The young man was at a loss for words.

In a hurry?

Are you in such a hurry that you can’t even wait for three days?

He found it incomprehensible. He could only point out the way for him after seeing that it was impossible to persuade him.

After saying goodbye to the young man, Su Ping walked in the direction the latter had pointed out and heard all kinds of noises on the way. There was a square close by where many planet pioneers were gathered.

“Does anyone want to join my team to explore the Rumbling Thunder Continent? We have a Fate State expert with us. You only need to pay a hundred million!”

“Mercenary ready for hire! I’m an experienced Void State explorer! It only takes five hundred million to hire me!”

All kinds of loud requests and offers were heard. Su Ping scanned them, only to find that most of the explorers present were Ocean State warriors; Void State explorers were fewer. Only a handful of them were Fate State warriors.

“Brother, are you going to the Rumbling Thunder Continent? We can take you with us!” said a middle-aged man who had approached Su Ping.

Su Ping shook his head to decline the offer.

“The Rumbling Thunder Continent is very dangerous…” continued the middle-aged man.

Su Ping had already walked away.

The middle-aged man dropped his friendliness and spat on the ground after seeing that Su Ping didn’t even bother to look back.

…

Ten minutes later, Su Ping arrived at a helipad found at the center of Kroline Island.

Military helicopters were parked there. They had special energy formations which allowed them to resist Ocean State beast kings. There were also short-distance teleportation formations that enabled flash movement to evade birds or beasts.

A lot of people had gathered there. Su Ping waited in line obediently and finally entered the Rumbling Thunder Continent after paying ten million.

Su Ping ran some calculations, only to secretly click his tongue; the daily revenue from ticket fees to go to the Rumbling Thunder Continent was astronomical!

It was such an amount of money that even after the Federation taxes were deducted the earnings were still unimaginable!

A tier-3 planet was already quite profitable. Su Ping found it hard to imagine what things were like on a tier-1 planet.

If only there were such a place on the Blue Planet. Su Ping was secretly intrigued. Several hundred million were probably no different from several bucks to an ordinary person when it came to the Lord of Rhea’s perspective.

Su Ping’s batch of passengers soon entered a military helicopter one after the other.

The helicopter took off and left the island.

Su Ping was hopeful as he looked at the magnificent sea surrounding the island from his window seat.

It didn’t take long for the helicopter to reach its destination at a high speed.

The Rumbling Thunder Continent was as far apart from Kroline Island as the distance between two continents on the Blue Planet, but it took the helicopter only five minutes to get there.

There seemed to be a transparent shield above the entire landmass; there were surging clouds underneath the shielding.

Considering Rhea’s size, that continent seemed to be as vast as the entire Blue Planet, or even more!

Strange formations and patterns were manifested on the helicopter’s surface and melted a section of the shield to later descend.

The helicopter flew through the thunderous clouds and reached a desert base where it landed.

A lot of planet pioneers had gathered in the base; all of them had made the trip for hunting purposes.

Su Ping got out of the helicopter, then decided not to linger since the base had only been set up temporarily.

Many explorers invited him to join their teams, but Su Ping obviously ignored them. Some of those people weren’t necessarily there to hunt Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons…

Su Ping decided to leave the base right away. He soon found that four men were stalking him; his eyebrows rose coldly.

Luck was not on their side, as he was the worst target they could have picked.

Su Ping didn’t have a lot of time, so he simply summoned the Inferno Dragon and sat on one of its shoulders. He then took out the map he had paid a hundred thousand coins for and compared it with his memorized version. He had indeed remembered it correctly.

He invoked fire to burn up the map.

In the next moment, Su Ping commanded the Inferno Dragon to fly east.

He was heading straight to the continent’s center, where the nest of the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons was located.

A Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon with mid-level aptitude had to be different from its ordinary counterparts. It could possibly become the king of all the continent’s Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons!

Su Ping quickly flew out of the desert. There was a mountain in front of him, while going further beyond you would see purple and green forests. The top of the mountain was shrouded in a vague mist.

After crossing the mountain, he looked at the distant forests and detected that a few beasts were hiding there. Although he wasn’t sure exactly what they were, they didn’t inspire him to become truly strong.

That place was too close to the base. The local Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons had probably been captured, even if there were any left.

Su Ping continued flying forward Instead of going through the forests, towards the nest of the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

A vortex appeared halfway through the journey manifesting a vortex which appeared in front of Su Ping, and a gigantic Platypus Dragon with dark red scales that also flew out. The last dragon was carrying on its back a middle-aged man wielding a saber.

“Boy, stop…”

The middle-aged man looked down at Su Ping, but his pupils contracted before he could finish; it was as if he had just seen a lightning bolt. Then, his body exploded.

After a bam, the lightning that flowed out of his body tore it apart and obliterated it!

The Platypus Dragon under his posterior had also taken a hit; it screamed, before it fell into the forest with a blackened body.

The men who had been stalking Su Ping and were ready to make a move were all too shocked to continue with their plan, all thanks to that unexpected outcome.

Their Void State captain was killed with one attack!

What kind of monster is this young man?

Whoosh!

The Inferno Dragon continued flying forward, acting as if nothing had happened.

Su Ping crossed his arms in front of his chest and sat on the Inferno Dragon’s shoulder with fluttering black hair.

It was a simple task to kill someone with a Void State cultivation with the power of law he had mastered.

Even though the man was stronger than the Void State warriors on the Blue Planet, it didn’t mean anything when he was dominated by the absolute power of law!

Besides, Su Ping had named the law of thunder “Boom”!

There were many laws of thunder. The reason why he named that one “Boom” was simply because it was his impression of the law.

Explosion and boom; what he had managed to perceive was the most direct and powerful law.

All the people who lingered after Su Ping flew away began to shake uncontrollably, feeling as if their blood were frozen, worrying about the prospect of fighting against Su Ping.

“It’s true when they say that all the lone wolves are monsters!”

“I told you we shouldn’t go after him!”

“It’s too late now! Let’s get out of here! We’ll be killed if he turns around and attacks us!”

They were so frightened that they quickly ran back to the base.

…

Whoosh!

Up in the vast sky, the Inferno Dragon rushed at full speed like a stallion set loose.

A thunderstorm was being brewed right above them, which was a common occurrence in the continent. Some of the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons would even feasted upon the thunder and loved playing in the clouds.

“Caw!”

Su Ping ran into a bunch of featherless birds soon after, which were entirely red. All of them were Ocean State creatures.

The birds cawed excitedly the moment they spotted Su Ping, swooping toward him like hungry sharks going crazy at the sight of blood.

Coldness flashed in Su Ping’s eyes. The Inferno Dragon underneath his feet let out a deafening roar with fury rising in its eyes.

Roar!!

The roar instantly shocked the birds; it was like a bat hitting their heads. They lost all of their momentum and dispersed in fright.

The Inferno Dragon was unstoppable as it kept advancing with its draconic gravitas.

“Hoooooooooooo!”

It was exactly then that a furious dragon roar was heard; the fierce call originated from a place in the clouds dozens of meters up above.

It was right in the middle of a lightning strike that an enormous dragon with a wingspan of more than two hundred meters swooped down from the clouds.
