Astral Pet Store Novel - Chapter 484

Chapter 484 Sensational

Su Ping reached the door.

Roar!!

A swirl popped up in the air. The huge Swamp War Crocodile appeared on the street outside the store!

The street didn’t cave in because of the heavy Swamp War Crocodile, all thanks to the store’s protection. But the vibration on the ground was clearly felt.

The Swamp War Crocodile had a long spine and cyan scales that seemed to be cast from iron. The barbaric and violent Swamp War Crocodile bellowed, again and again, unhappy to be standing in that place. The Swamp War Crocodile looked around with its amber eyes. It glanced at Qin Duhuang and the others who were standing across the street. The Swamp War Crocodile felt those people would make delicious snacks.

Tang Ruyan and Zhong Lingtong had followed Su Ping to the door. The huge crocodile scared the two girls. Upon a closer look, the girls stood with their mouths agape.

Across the street, Qin Duhuang was playing chess with his friend, and Mu Beihai and the other family heads were still standing outside as well. Everyone was frightened by the sudden bellows. They all stood up in fear and shock, struck dumb by that huge figure.

Is that… a beast king?!

The family heads were shuddering.

A beast king, in the base city, right in front of them!

That overwhelming and terrifying aura produced by the beast king made them feel that they were puny insects looking at death in the face.

“That…” Qin Duhuang squinted his eyes. The energy that had been dormant inside him for years was currently surging, spreading to all his limbs and bones. The old man stood up straighter and straighter. Under tremendous pressure, out of instinct, Qin Duhuang prepared himself for battle.

Mu Beihai and the other family heads were so afraid that they were frozen on the ground, unable to move.

As he stood by the door, Su Ping took the Slave Contract from his storage space and immediately applied it to the Swamp War Crocodile.

In an instant—as the contract came in contact with the Swamp War Crocodile-many blood-red lines surrounded the beast, which began to retract until they were submerged into the Swamp War Crocodile.

That process happened rapidly. To the naked eye, people were only able to see a brief glow of red and then everything went back to normal.

There was an addition of a violent consciousness in his mind. Su Ping was relieved. He jumped onto the back of the Swamp War Crocodile at once. “Take care of the store. I’ll be back shortly,” Su Ping said to the girls. Tang Ruyan and Zhong Lingtong were still dumbfounded. They felt their blood had frozen as they stood in front of that beast king. The pressure had made it impossible for them to breathe. They didn’t even dare to answer Su Ping’s words; their reply was a silent look at him.

Joanna walked out as she felt the presence of a beast king. She then understood that the beast king belonged to Su Ping after seeing him riding its back, so she immediately lost interest. If the beast king was there to wreak havoc, she wouldn’t have minded killing it for fun.

Qin Duhuang and the other family heads witnessed how Su Ping jumped onto the back of the beast king; they were so astonished that they stared woodenly and their jaws were slack.

That beast king was Su Ping’s pet?!

He had a beast king pet before he reached the legendary rank?! The family heads stood on the spot, completely dazed.

“Behave. Let’s go,” Su Ping ordered the Swamp War Crocodile. He felt this pet was a bit troublesome. He couldn’t put it in his contract space; the second that the Slave Contract came into effect meant that the Swamp War Crocodile would have to stay outside.

To move about in the base city on such a huge guy was indeed troublesome. The crocodile was almost as wide as the street, the street that Su Ping had already widened on purpose. Taohuaxi Street was two times as wide as other streets. The crocodile could have smashed half of the buildings down if it were running on any other street. Roar!

The pet bellowed once it felt Su Ping’s control. All of a sudden, a huge stone pillar that seemed to reach the sky appeared all of a sudden in front of the Swamp War Crocodile.

The Swamp War Crocodile climbed onto the stone pillar that was still growing and ran past the many buildings.

The Swamp War Crocodile was a dragon subspecies, while it could also be counted as one of the stone family at the same time. The Swamp War Crocodile mastered quite a few skills of the stone family.

Qin Duhuang and the other family heads had lost the ability to talk as they stared at the huge pillar and the beast king running on top of it.

They already knew that Su Ping was powerful. He would become a legendary battle pet warrior in the future even without the legendary battle pet warrior backing him. They never expected that Su Ping could already manipulate a beast king, even before becoming a legendary battle pet warrior. He could already contend with other legendary battle pet warriors with such a pet!

“That guy…”

Qin Duhuang’s mouth was agape. All of a sudden, he understood why Su Ping was willing to sell the two pets at the peak of the ninth-rank the day before.

They had merely thought that Su Ping already had enough pets at the peak of the ninth-rank. It turned out that those pets weren’t good enough for him!

He has a beast king. Why would he want pets of the ninth-rank?

Not even 10 pets at the peak of the ninth-rank could compare to even one limb of a beast king!

Mu Beihai, Liu Tianzong, and the other family heads produced a forced smile after they came back to their senses.

The Swamp War Crocodile was huge. Su Ping had to travel above the ground to make sure that no street would fall victim to the huge guy, and to avoid tampering with the city’s water and power grids.

Whoosh!

The stone column was extending horizontally.

This massive protrusion that had stretched across more than a dozen streets had alerted the public. They raised their heads and gazed into the sky. They couldn’t see Su Ping nor the Swamp War Crocodile up in the clouds, but they were aware that the sudden appearance of the stone column indicated that a pet was using a powerful skill. That realization had scared many citizens. They worried that the stone column would collapse abruptly.

Soon after, they reached an open land. Su Ping told the Swamp War Crocodile to go down and then strengthen the stone column. After the reinforcement, the stone column would not break unless someone deliberately attacked it.

As for how to make the stone column disappear, that would be a problem for the mayor and the pets of the stone family he could deploy.

Once in the wild, Su Ping told the Swamp War Crocodile to go full speed ahead.

Dong, dong, dong! The Swamp War Crocodile ran on as fast as it could. The ground shook violently and many deep pits were left on the way.

Su Ping had to admit that beast kings did travel fast; they had reached the city’s interior wall in less than an hour.

The noise and vibration made by the Swamp War Crocodile alerted the guards on the city’s interior wall. They had to go to the watchtower and turn the telescope to see the base city’s protected territory, which was a first. The huge Swamp War Crocodile scared some guards, leaving them with ghastly pale faces.

But no alarm was sounded. Soon, two titled battle pet warriors flew over and stood in front of the Swamp War Crocodile, jittering.

Su Ping told the Swamp War Crocodile to stop and looked at the two.

“You must be Mr. Su.” The two titled battle pet warriors summoned the strength to put on a smile while they were still fearful.

Neither dared to stand too far from Su Ping, which would be considered impolite, and at the same time, they didn’t want to stand too close because the Swamp War Crocodile had a pointed snout that could reach them with one push.

At the moment, the two felt their blood was freezing

“Yes?” Su Ping looked at them.

“The, the mayor has just told us to wait for you here. If, if you have any needs, you, you can tell us.” The two were barely able to utter a full sentence.

The pet that Su Ping was standing on was too powerful. The two could tell right away that the pet was a beast king.

There was a worldwide consensus that ‘beast king’ was synonymous with terror.

SO

But Su Ping was standing on one. That was something that a legendary battle pet warrior could do!

“Oh, go and grab me a map of the Aurora Base City,” Su Ping said.

The two looked at each other. One of them said, “Please wait for a moment. I’ll go and get it right away.” With that said, that person hurried away, leaving his partner there with Su Ping.

The one who remained had just understood what had happened. He inwardly cursed all of his friend’s family.

Su Ping told the Swamp War Crocodile to walk forward while he waited for that titled battle pet warrior to return with the map.

The one who stayed there had to fly alongside the beast king. He was still trembling. He had heard that there was a legendary battle pet warrior in a pet store inside the base city, and that the store owner was a ruthless character. Even though he had heard such stories, he still could not imagine that the store owner could already have a beast king pet. He wasn’t at the legendary rank yet!
