Chapter 743: Rescue

Whoosh!

Su Ping soon disappeared from Mia and her partners’ view.

Su Ping flew straight back to the base he came from once he got out of the woods, as he had accomplished his primary mission. It would be great if he could hunt more Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons on his way back, but he didn’t intend to spend too much effort in searching for them.

After all, it was more important to return to his shop and restart his business.

He would be able to buy the Thunder Ocean Fruit if he could earn another twenty-six million energy points before the store renewed itself two days from then.

On the way—

Mountains and rivers fleeted under his feet.

Soon after, Su Ping reached a basin around a long stretch of mountains. There was a great number of Thunderous Trees in the basin.

Those trees could be found everywhere in the Rumbling Thunder Continent, but the forest at the foot of the Thunderous Dragon Mountain was the largest one; it was as huge as a continent on the Blue Planet!

Boom!!

All of a sudden, noises of battle were heard in the basin.

Dragon roars resounded, then three Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons were seen flying out of the forest’s edge; they unleashed a mass of lightning bolts that bombarded the forest.

Su Ping was quite intrigued; he simply had the Inferno Dragon fly over.

Since he had found them, he would certainly aim to tame all of them and make the most of his ticket’s worth.

…

Four humans—all of them radiating astral light—were fighting while putting their best effort. A middle-aged man among them suddenly gave a command, “I’ll hold it back! You should retreat with Karina first!”

The expressions of the other three humans quickly changed. Karina, the youngest among them, said with bloodshot eyes, “Benson, we’re leaving together!”

“Yes!” Harry, the other man, added quickly.

Boom!

Benson pushed his hands forward and blocked an enormous lightning bolt. He tore apart the secondary space and roared at his partners, “Are all of you planning to die here? It wasn’t easy for Karina to be admitted by the Hugh Mia Academy. She has great potential, she can’t die here!”

Karina said with a pale face, “B-But…”

“Harry, take her away and protect her even at the cost of your life!” demanded Benson.

All his partners looked awful; they had never seen Benson looking that cool before.

“Brother Benson, take care!” Harry clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. He then said to Karina, “You heard Brother Benson. Let’s go!”

Karina’s eyes were red, hot tears flowing out.

She knew she would only be a liability even if she stayed. Even though she was quite strong and could fight against Void State beings, the three dragons were in the advanced phase of the Void State and were too powerful for her!

Whoosh!

She stepped forward and was about to escape through the secondary space—

Exactly at that moment… a loud and aggressive dragon roar announced the arrival of another beast.

It was so loud that the humans’ ears were shivering and their blood was running fast.

Benson, who had been struggling to resist the attacks, was terrified. He exclaimed, “A Fate State Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon…”

The peak of despair was seen in his eyes.

The intimidating roar clearly belonged to a Fate State Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon. He could easily tell that much.

He was deeply saddened by the situation.

Are we all going to die here?

He would have felt better if he were alone, but Karina was so young, and she had just been admitted by the Hugh Mia Academy. She had a promising future and might eventually grow to reach the Fate State or even the Star State…

The other humans were so awed by the dragon roar that they couldn’t even move. The intimidation of the Fate State made them feel as insignificant as ants.

The three Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons in the sky stopped their attacks and looked at a certain place with fear.

Two dragons were flying over. One was rather small and was only thirty meters long, while the other one was more than two hundred meters long, which looked like a moving mountain.

Its unfolded wings produced a shadow that covered the entire forest.

“Huh?”

Su Ping—while riding on the Inferno Dragon’s shoulder, suddenly found that the humans in the forest were actually familiar; he had met them on the plane earlier.

Su Ping’s face had a weird expression when he saw their pale faces; he didn’t expect to see them in trouble…

“Harry, hello,” Su Ping greeted him with a smile.

The four terrified humans were stunned after hearing Su Ping’s voice. The sense of surprise changed to shock when they saw him riding the Inferno Dragon.

“It’s him?”

“He’s the guy from the plane!”

“He—He… Is that Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon his pet?”

All of them were confused by the sight.

They didn’t expect to meet the Ocean State young man there, with a horrifying Fate State Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon in tow.

Didn’t he claim that he was in the Ocean State?

Harry was stunned for a moment and then wore a bitter smile. It had truly been stupid of him to have invited Su Ping to hunt with them.

Nobody who dared to explore the Rumbling Thunder Continent on their own was ordinary.

Harry believed that Su Ping was lying when he said he was an Ocean State warrior because he didn’t want to expose his real level.

Harry even thought that Su Ping might have even changed his appearance with the help of special drugs.

Such elixirs weren’t uncommon in the Federation; many female battle pet warriors loved them.

Benson—who had merged with his pet and had blue spots all over his skin—was stunned, too. He had originally hesitated when Harry invited Su Ping to his team, mainly because the young man was an outsider and his level was lacking.

He didn’t know that Su Ping’s pet was a Fate State Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon. The pet alone could have him easily!

“He…”

Karina looked at Su Ping in shock. She didn’t have much respect for Su Ping while they were on the plane. Although he seemed to be her age and was at her level, she was already a student in the Hugh Mia Academy, which wasn’t something that her every peer could accomplish.

Su Ping smiled after seeing how dazed they were; he then sent a telepathic message to the Fate State dragon, “I’ll have these three of your compatriots too. They’re all yours to command. Make sure they’re obedient.”

“…”

The Fate State dragon’s heart was pounding; regardless of its high rank, Su Ping was commanding it as if it were a tool. However, it still didn’t dare to resist.

Roar! Roar!

The Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon roared and spoke to the three shivering dragons, basically telling them that they were under arrest. They would have to listen to the human obediently, or else they would be killed!

The three dragons were rather shocked. They observed Su Ping for a long time, but only found that he was an Ocean State human.

Nevertheless, they were still scared.

They did not dare doubt Su Ping’s combat ability when their fellow Fate State dragon had spoken on his behalf. If he were weak, why would such a strong dragon run errands for him?

Su Ping was rather satisfied to see how panicked the three dragons were. He ignored them, then asked Benson and the other humans on the ground, “You’re here to catch the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons? Have you captured any?”

Benson and his teammates were speechless after hearing Su Ping’s words and looking at the panicky dragons shivering like chickens. The prospect of seeing Su Ping intimidate three horrifying Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons without doing anything had never crossed their minds.

The strength gap between them made them feel bitter.

“Not yet. We were tracking a Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon and meant to capture it here, but then we were ambushed,” replied Harry, who had been the one who talked the most with Su Ping.

Benson also nodded. He no longer dared to be condescending anymore after witnessing Su Ping’s strength. He seemed quite awed.

Annalisa, on the other hand, had glowing eyes as she observed Su Ping. Karina wore a conflicted expression; there was no telling what was on her mind.

“Is that so? This is the mating season for their kind. Those three male dragons were probably setting up a trap to catch hunters in order to protect their children.” Su Ping chuckled.

Harry and the others were stunned and slightly perplexed.

How did he know that the three dragons were males?

Also, were the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons smart enough to know about ambushing and counter-hunting?

“Don’t underestimate beasts, they’re very smart. They are more experienced predators than we are,” said Su Ping with a smile, “I recommend that you buy them in my shop instead, if you have the money. That would be a much safer choice.”

“These dragons will be sold in my shop soon, and at quite a reasonable price. Several dozen billion should be enough.”

The other four humans looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing what he said.

Harry couldn’t help but ask, “S-Senior Su, what do you do for a living?”

“I run a pet shop. I’m here to restock.” Su Ping smiled.

The humans present were speechless. A man able to suppress a Fate State dragon was a pet shop owner? Wasn’t the job beneath him?

However, when they remembered that many of the top pet shops had Fate State or even Star State experts who helped them capture beasts, they realized that Su Ping’s shop was probably a big one, with branches across planets or even solar systems.

“Only several billion?” Karina couldn’t help but ask while the expressions on her face changed nonstop.

Su Ping nodded with a smile. “They’re just ordinary pets. They won’t be too expensive.”

“…”

The whole group was left speechless, their lips twitching. Are the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons really ordinary pets?
