Chapter 211: Never Thought to Rescue You

After dealing with the matter here, Su Bai went back to Baiyue Manor.

Sitting in a chair before the floor-to-ceiling window on Azure Dragon Mound, he looked at the great scenery in the distance and took a sip of the cup of black tea in his hand.

There was a dragon bracelet on his exposed wrist.

Behind him, Little Tyrant ate ore while Ice Phoenix practiced.

Purple Jade, which was lying on the top floor next to the cat climbing frame, was squinting as it enjoyed the sun shining on its body.

Mewling Fox was lying by Su Bai’s feet, dozing. It seemed like everything had nothing to do with them…

The panic and chaos of the outside world could not affect them in the slightest bit.

It was akin to the life of a rich man, dull and boring.

In fact, as long as he wanted it, he could enjoy all the services in the world that could be bought with money or even those that could not.

What he had now was actually far beyond the vast majority of people in this world. Be it the Kraken’s nest or this divine skill, as long as he took it out, he could have everything he wanted.

The enjoyment of the rich was just a simple wave of the hand for him.

The issue regarding the manor was almost solved, and with the shield, the general danger was no longer a problem, either.

Su Bai had already inquired about Chen Ruoxue’s parents from her, and they did not need his personal appearance to solve their problems.

Once he emptied the cup of the black tea, he put it down, touched the head of Mewling Fox, and asked softly, “Have you given that thing to Senior Twelve-tailed Magic Fox?”

Yes, but I don’t know if the senior has already seen it. His pet raised its head to look at him. Its telepathic voice continued to ring in his mind. Do you want to subdue my senior?

“No, I won’t force her. I just hope that she can help me guard the villa and protect my parents by staying with them when necessary.” He sighed.

“I can agree to your request, but can you really help me evolve again?”

An ethereal and enchanting voice sounded from behind him. He turned his head and saw the huge Twelve-tailed Magic Fox lying in the living room.

Its appearance shocked him and the pets. From beginning to end, they had not noticed it.

“Of course, I never lie to people, nor do I lie to monsters and spirits,” Su Bai calmed down and said.

After speaking, he summoned his contract book and showed it to the senior fox.

He had asked Mewling Fox to give this senior fox a mobile phone with the photograph of Pipi Kraken’s evolution.

“It’s indeed a divine skill. It can actually force pets to evolve; it’s indeed a remarkable top-level divine skill.

“Still, this requires signing a contract with you and becoming your pet, right?”

The senior fox looked at him with a pair of dreamy eyes; it lifted its head slightly to reveal an elegant aura.

“Yes, of course, but I think that this contract will have little effect on you. In comparison, the pros definitely outweigh the cons.

“The Pet Tamer’s contract is balanced, and I can’t force you to do anything you don’t want to, right?

“Plus, the current appearance of senior fox isn’t much different from after signing a contract with me.” He spread his hands and explained.

“I agree to your request, but you must not play tricks on me, or else I’ll eat you, even if I pay the price of death.”

The Twelve-tailed Magic Fox glanced at him. A dreamy mist rose, and then it was gone.

“Hurry up and become stronger; I don’t want you dying on me even before you reach the requirements for signing a contract with me.”

“Okay… Senior, please be at ease as I won’t let you down.” Su Bai smiled slightly and waved his hand.

This kind of thing was like telling his girlfriend that he would just hug her and not touch her at will.

In the end, he would always have his way.

Ugh! Quickly cover your evil smile. It’s disgusting. The cub opened its eyes and glanced at him in disgust.

The other pets also nodded in agreement. Ah Bai is too evil.

Su Bai: “…”

After pouring another cup of black tea, he drank it quietly.

He had already contacted his third sister, Li Xue, in the discipleship and told her that he would go to their master’s place in a few days.

At the same time, this contact was to let her know that he had come back alive. As for whether he had obtained the divine skill or not, he did not explain it on the phone.

He wanted to take a good rest these two days.

Immediately after, just as he had his breakfast, his third sister called.

“Hello, senior sister.”

“Are you still in Carp Town?”

“Yes, I am. Why?”

“That’s good. I’ll send someone to look for you in a while. There’s a space crack in Ziyang Town next to Carp Town. Monsters are constantly running out. You can help suppress them. They don’t have enough manpower. Merit points will be given to you.

“In a while, someone will go over and take you there. You, as well as a few others, will form an exploration team. Go in and explore the situation, and if the problem isn’t big, help solve it. If there’s a big problem, remember to withdraw fast. Don’t force yourself, alright?” Li Xue ordered over the phone.

“Okay, I got it.” Su Bai nodded. He was idle, anyway, and since his senior sister had asked, he would just go.

He could also test how much his pets’ strength had increased.

“Roar?” Ah Bai, are we going out to fight? the dino asked immediately after he hung up the call.

In fact, all these pets had heard the entire content of his phone call.

“Yes, we are. Go back to the contract book first.”

After tidying up, Su Bai rode the cub and went out.

Soon, they arrived at Carp Town. The people sent by his senior sister had also arrived at this time.

A twenty-something man, who was wearing a uniform and with a gun on his back, stood there; a wind-attribute, green bird of the commander grade was under him.

“Hello, comrade. I’m the person sent by Comrade Li Xue to pick you up. My name is Zhu Xiaopeng.” The man jumped off his bird and gave him a military salute.

“Thank you. I’m Su Bai.”

Nodding, he kept the cub and followed the policeman onto the bird.

After the bird took off, Zhu Xiaopeng said with a smile, “We happened to lack a monarch in our force which is the core of this exploration team. Comrade Li recommended you to us; we’ll have to trouble you this time.”

“Haha! It’s okay. Just keep to your plan, and I’ll follow along.” Su Bai smiled back. He had truly not expected that the person who came this time would actually be a policeman.

“Thank you.” Zhu Xiaopeng quickly thanked him. The man was relieved that this youth was so easy to talk to. He had been afraid of encountering some arrogant Pet Tamer.

“It’s nothing. It’s my responsibility. Still, I’m a Pet Tamer; I don’t know much about investigation and exploration. Apart from me this time, are there others?” Su Bai waved his hand. Although he had also studied investigation and exploration before, he did not think that he could compare to these professionals.

He might learn a thing or two by following them.

“Five of us are armed policemen, while you and four others are professional Pet Tamers with commander pets. The team has a total of ten people.

“I have pets at peak mid-level commander. My teammates only have pets at the low-level commander and aren’t strong enough, so we’re hiring external aid since we can’t handle the situation.

“Recently, space cracks have appeared everywhere, and there’s not enough manpower.” Zhu Xiaopeng smiled bitterly.

“Okay, I understand.” Su Bai nodded.

After flying for some distance, they arrived at Ziyang Town.

This space had a big crack, and the location was halfway up the side of a tea hill. Looking at it at this time, it seemed like there were no monsters around, which puzzled Su Bai.

“This space crack will periodically spew out monsters, and most of them are of the fire attribute,” explained Zhu Xiaopeng.

As they talked, the green bird flew down.

A large number of villagers, with many teenagers among them, had gathered at the base of the tea hill. Some professional Pet Tamers could be seen in the crowd as well.

“Everyone, I’d like to introduce Su Bai to you. He’s the Pet Tamer we invited who has a monarch-level of fighting power. We’ll go with him to check the inside of the space crack nearby and strive to close it,” Zhu Xiaopeng said with a smile.

“Thank you! Thank you!” The villagers cheered.

Su Bai smiled back and greeted everyone.

He then looked at the other members of the exploration team. Besides the five armed police officers, the other four were professional Pet Tamers, with three men and one woman; all of them were relatively young and did not seem weak.

According to the situation explained by Zhu Xiaopeng, these four people were all graduating students of Cannes College

There was really a big difference between tier 2 colleges and famous universities like East Capital Heavenly Abyss. Graduating students of the latter had at least high-level monarchs.

“I heard the police officer say that you’re a freshman at East Capital Heavenly Abyss University. Is that right?” Liu Baihe from Cannes College asked curiously.

“Oh, yes.” Su Bai nodded. It was normal for these guys not to know him as not everyone paid attention to competitions.

Hearing his answer, the five people had mixed feelings. They were all in their senior year but were not as good as this freshman.

“Do you already have a monarch pet? They said that you have a monarch-level combat power; is that true as well?” Liu Baihe asked again.

“I don’t have monarch pets, but I think that I can beat ordinary monarch monsters,” he replied after thinking about it.

Upon hearing this, Liu Baihe and the others sighed in relief. It turned out he did not have a monarch pet.

“Hey, people like you are so lucky to be born with a silver spoon; you don’t have to worry about the expenses of cultivating pets. We, on the other hand, have to run around all day long just to gather enough resources!” Li Chao exclaimed.

He immediately felt bolder after learning that Su Bai did not have a monarch pet. In his opinion, the so-called monarch-grade combat power was just tooting the youth’s horns. It was not an easy feat to defeat a monarch monster with a commander pet.

“Have you ever experienced finding cultivation materials by yourself? Have you been to a monster wilderness before? Don’t be angry. We just want to understand the situation and prepare for anything. Otherwise, it would be bad if any accidents were to happen on the road. By then, we could only lose our lives,” another young man named Zhao Wei asked, not caring about Su Bai’s monarch-grade combat power.

Regarding this, he could also boast of having monarch-grade combat power by killing a bound monarch monster.

Perhaps he could also boast the same by defeating a Pet Tamer with a monarch pet who had lost on purpose.

These days, more and more people had been putting gold on their faces.

Su Bai glanced at them, nodded, and said, “You don’t have to worry about me; just take care of yourselves.”

He could understand their feelings. They were feeling inferior and ridiculed, just like how undergraduates could not hold their heads up in front of college graduates.

However, he had never thought of showing off the superiority of his academic qualifications and had, in fact, always hated guys who thought that they were better than others.

“Okay. Now that everyone knows one another, let’s set off. Be careful.” After the brief introduction, Zhu Xiaopeng sent a small button walkie-talkie to everyone and announced their departure.

Zhu Xiaopeng and his comrades formed a team and led the way.

Su Bai and the other professional Pet Tamers positioned themselves to flank the sides of the group.

Su Bai hung the communication device in the shape of a button on his clothes’ neckline and released the cub and the fox to guard the left side of the team.

One female and male Pet Tamers positioned themselves next to him, while Li Chao and Zhao Wei chose to position themselves far away from him and on the other side. The crowd maintained space from one another, forming an inverted U shape as they advanced toward the space crack.

“Howl.” It’s so slow to travel like this. The cub complained.

“Just casually follow them.” Su Bai comforted it.

Soon, they safely entered the space crack. Immediately upon entering it, they felt an extreme heat wave. What greeted them was a tall virgin forest. All the trees were dark red, and the temperature on the ground was very high, almost burning their feet.

“Let’s fly up and take a look.”

After informing the others through the mini communication devices, two people flew into the sky with their pets. One was a policeman and the other was a student from Cannes College.

What an annoying world! These trees contain more of the spiritual power of the fire attribute. I feel like it’ll be difficult to make puppets of them with my Forest Cluster. The cub raised its paw and howled.

“Then do you want to return to the contract book?”

No, I just said that the environment here will have an impact on my strength.

“It’s okay. I’ll also release Little Tyrant.”

He released the Purgatory Fire Thief.

“Roar~” Ah Bai, I feel a strong sense of fire right in the depths of this world.

The dino turned its head to scan the surroundings.

After speaking, it dug a lava ore from the ground and bit it to pieces.

Not far away, a small magma lake appeared on the left of Su Bai.

The girl named Liu Baihe on the left of Su Bai saw the lake, too.

“Flint Dragon Lizard, quickly pick those few fiery red lotuses.”

She was afraid that Su Bai would snatch the few tier 3 fiery red lotuses floating on the magma lake and quickly asked her pet to snatch them.

In her opinion, it did not matter even if there was a fire monster lurking inside. The Flint Dragon Lizard had high defensive power and high fire resistance.

Su Bai shrugged. He had no intention of snatching those lotuses at all, but he could also understand that many professional Pet Tamers had their difficulties.

“Roar!”

Just when the Flint Dragon Lizard picked the fiery red lotuses and was about to leave, a large bloody basin mouth came out of the magma.

A terrifying Lava Crocodile then directly rushed out and bit off the Flint Dragon Lizard’s tail.

At this critical juncture, the dragon lizard could only throw a fiery red lotus to attract the crocodile’s attention. It prepared to pull away before turning to fight. The strength of this Lava Crocodile was a bit beyond its expectation, as the former was actually a high-level commander.

“Roar!”

Purgatory Fire Thief rushed out and gathered its spiritual power. A golden Earth Hammer appeared between its claws, and its body shape also grew to fifteen meters. After which, it ran forward. The Earth Hammer in its claws was more than twenty meters long while its width was more than ten meters in diameter.

Seeing it rushing over, the crocodile was stunned and turned to run back into the magma lake.

F*ck! This Purgatory Fire Thief was obviously of a lower level, but why the f*ck was it so terrifying? The Lava Crocodile would only stand at a disadvantage by staying there, so it quickly escaped.

“Hing!”

A mind force appeared out of thin air, which made it freeze and be unable to move.

With a bang, the Lava Crocodile’s head was directly hammered into a pulp by Little Tyrant; there was even a hammer mark five or six meters deep in the ground.

“Roar!” What a lousy monster!

It glared at the dead opponent in disdain, then turned, and stuffed the fiery red lotuses that had fallen from the ground into its mouth.

It then jumped into the magma lake. Before long, it fished out a fiery red crystal lotus root and a red fire spirit.

“Roar!” Ah Bai, I’ll devour all of these!

It gobbled up the fiery red crystal lotus root in one bite and a three-colored spiritual vortex suddenly burst out of its body. It broke through to a high-level commander on the spot.

“Roar!” Hiccup~ I must thank Lava Crocodile for delivering food. It hiccuped and waved its claws.

Su Bai: “…”

Must it insult a dead monster?

Liu Baihe and Liu Feng, the Pet Tamers who had flown to the sky so they could investigate, both looked stunned. The Purgatory Fire Thief was too violent.

Was killing a monster of the same level in seconds as easy as cutting vegetables?

It even broke through as if it were just drinking water. It made them feel utterly uncomfortable.

They finally realized how big the strength gap was. At this moment, they felt the horror from someone really strong. Was this the power of a student of East Capital Heavenly Abyss University?

He was still a freshman?

What the f*ck.

“Thank you, Su Bai.”

Liu Baihe was taken aback for a moment and quickly thanked him.

The previous arrogance in their hearts had been smashed to pieces by Little Tyrant’s hammer.

“You don’t need to thank me; I only did it for the treasure.” Su Bai did not even think about helping Liu Baihe, nor did he even order the Little Tyrant. Its actions were completely self-assertive.

Liu Baihe: “…”

For a while, she did not know how to continue the conversation. It turned out that this guy had no intentions of saving a damsel in distress.

By the time she returned to her senses, Su Bai was already far ahead.

They continued walking a few kilometers and did not encounter any monsters. After walking through the forest, a lava river appeared in front of their eyes.
