Many people in the distance had observed the conflict.
They weren't Fate State warriors, nor did they dare to join the robbery, so they could only watch.
They thought that there would be a fierce battle. Little did they expect that the famous Carlson would be killed so fast.
His teammates didn't even dare to fetch his body, fearing that they might p.i.s.s off the Star State expert if they did so!
Everybody began to speak noisily after Su Ping left.
On the other side, at the departure square.
Su Ping had arrived with ten dragons. The ten Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons behind him attracted everyone's attention. All the people present looked at him with shock.
Ten dragons in a single hunt was definitely a major harvest!
Besides, quite a few of those dragons were at the Fate State. How strong would the hunter have to be so he could catch them?
Everybody looked at Su Ping with awe. Some of them prudently scanned for Su Ping's level, only to find that he was displaying an Ocean State aura. This made them sweat hard in an instant.
The Ocean State level was obviously his disguise; they were unable to discern his actual strength. Furthermore, there was a chance that Su Ping might have detected their scanning!
Everyone soon decided to withdraw their senses.
Su Ping glanced at them and landed on the square. Ten dragons were hovering above his head and shadowing the square. This frightened the other people's Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons and beasts so much that they moved aside.
The dragons caught by others were shocked to see the ten new arrivals. They recognized the advanced Fate State dragon; it used to be an elder of their clan!
The elder had been captured by a human!
“Elder, were you caught too?”
“Yes.”
“The human surely ambushed you with a trap. He's really obnoxious!”
“…Yes.”
“Elder, why aren't you chained? This is a good opportunity… You should run!”
“Elder, we'll cover you. Just run!”
“Elder, what's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?”
“Elder…”
The old dragon could no longer hold back. It suddenly roared, “Just shut the f*ck up!”
Roar!
It sounded like a furious, meaningless roar to human beings.
The intimidating dragon roar echoed throughout the square.
All the battle pet warriors on the square were taken aback by the roar. They had finally noticed that Su Ping's dragons were neither contracted nor chained. They were so frightened that they quickly used their defensive techniques in case the dragons went on a rampage.
“Huh?”
Su Ping raised his head and frowned once he heard the roar. He obviously didn't understand the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons' language either. He simply asked telepathically, “What's wrong? Are you planning to resist?”
The old Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon became nervous and quickly replied upon hearing Su Ping's telepathic question, “No, not at all my lord, I wasn't talking to you; I was just teaching a lesson to an ignorant junior.”
Su Ping raised his brows and gave a good look at the elder beast. Once he felt that the latter didn't lie, he said, “Keep your voice down and don't add to my troubles.”
“Yes, my lord…” The Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon quickly nodded and apologized.
It then looked at its supportive fellow dragons after the apology, merely rolling its eyes. You are truly brainless. Don't we all know we're not chained, or that we have a chance to run away? The only reason we don't run is because we're too scared!
You can't even see the obvious. You deserve to be caught!
The dragon was quite angry; it had almost been criticized by Su Ping because of them.
The other dragons were dumbfounded.
What's wrong with the elder?
They were all at a loss.
Two ma.s.sive carriers descended from the clouds at that moment, stopping right above the plentiful dragons.
Several men dashed out of the carriers and landed on the square.
Some of them noticed the eye-catching dragons that Su Ping had caught. All of them were shocked to see that those beasts were neither under contract nor chained.
“What's going on?”
“d.a.m.n!”
They were so scared that they quickly circ.u.mvented the dragons.
The ten Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons were unrestrained; they could break free any time they wanted.
Their faces became pale when they noticed that there were Fate State dragons. Those dragons could destroy the entire base if they were angered!
“Guards! Where are the guards?!”
“What's going on here?”
The newcomers flew away and demanded angrily.
Soon after, someone ascended to the sky and quickly explained the situation to them.
The guards had already noticed the special circ.u.mstances of the ten dragons and witnessed how Su Ping had killed Carlson. None of them dared to ask him to restrain the dragons, fearing that they might anger him.
Besides, it made sense that the ten Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons were that obedient in front of a Star State expert. They probably wouldn't do anything unless they wanted to get killed.
“The Star State?!”
The newcomers were shocked. They soon noticed Su Ping in the square after being informed by the guards; they were awed and respectful.
Whoosh, whoos.h.!.+
All of them quickly flew over to meet with Su Ping.
“It's an honor to meet you, senior…”
All of them bowed, ignoring everybody else around them.
Su Ping raised his eyebrows and realized that they must have learned of what he did a moment earlier. He said indifferently, “Don't make a fuss. This is my departure paperwork; I simply want to leave as soon as possible.”
“Yes, senior.”
“Senior, please wait a moment. We will install departure devices on your battle pets.”
They couldn't have been any more respectful.
Su Ping nodded and gave them permission; one of them quickly flew and approached the ten dragons.
He was inevitably nervous in their presence. After all, there was no way he could survive if they chose to attack him.
Many of them were Fate State dragons!
Whoos.h.!.+
That man took out many silver collars from a small storage device. The collars looked like machines but had joints that were made of energy. They were products that mixed machines with astral power.
Once the collars were activated, they expanded and were then sent to the dragons, attaching to either horns or claws.
The Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons were so ma.s.sive that the collars could only work as “rings” for them, even though they had been enlarged.
Once the collars were attached, they soon unleashed blue ripples that covered the dragon's bodies.
“Senior, you can leave with your pets now. They can pa.s.s through the energy s.h.i.+eld around the Rumbling Thunder Continent with the IDs placed on them.”
A middle-aged man said to Su Ping respectfully, “Senior, this is your device.” He then turned his hand upside down and took out something that resembled a badge.
He respectfully offered the badge to Su Ping with both hands.
Su Ping accepted it. Then, it unleashed blue ripples that covered his body. The ripples had almost the same energy structure as that of the devices placed on the dragons.
“Is that all?”
Su Ping was slightly surprised.
“Yes,” said the middle-aged man respectfully, “The battle pets above the Ocean State can fly out as long as they have IDs. Those below the Ocean State have to be s.h.i.+pped out, because the pressure near the periphery is so strong that the ninth-rank beasts which are capable of flying cannot resist.”
Su Ping nodded and said, “What should I do with the IDs once I get out?”
“Someone will find you to collect them.”
The middle-aged man said with a smile, “There's a tracking system on the IDs. Please go to Kroline Island after you go out. Someone will receive you.”
Su Ping understood and had no further questions. He simply flew to the head of the old Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon and said, “Come on. Fly straight up. I'll show you the world beyond the Rumbling Thunder Continent.”
The ten Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons had glittering eyes after hearing what Su Ping said. But then, they looked back at the Rumbling Thunder Continent affectionately; after all, it was their home.
Alas, they couldn't stay. The ten dragons followed Su Ping's command and soared to the high skies.
The travelers were finally relieved after seeing Su Ping off. The last bit of their doubt was gone when they saw Su Ping sit on the wild and unchained elder dragon that was in the advanced phase of the Fate State. Who else could have been bold enough to do that except a Star State expert?
Whoos.h.!.+
Su Ping ordered the ten dragons to fly out of the Rumbling Thunder Continent.
The IDs helped them to easily pa.s.s through the s.h.i.+elding covering the whole continent; ahead of them was a sunny sky and a vast ocean.
“Is this the world outside?”
It was the dragons' first trip out of their hometown. Everything was new and interesting to them.
Even the sea and the sky had amazed them, even though they were unadorned.
Very soon, Su Ping took them to Kroline Island.
As the middle-aged man stated, some staff had soon shown up to retrieve the collars.
The arrival of the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons was quite a hit in Kroline Island. Many people moved closer to watch.
However, all of them flinched and ran for it when they saw that the dragons were absolutely free from any restraint, fearing that they would go on a rampage and sink the island.
There was little Su Ping could do. He couldn't sign contracts with Fate State pets, nor keep them in his storage s.p.a.ce, so he could only let them swagger in reality.
Once he escaped from the crowd, Su Ping checked in for the departure trip, back to Woffett City.
He discovered multiple s.h.i.+pping methods in the waiting hall. One of them was to s.h.i.+p the pets to any place he wanted with a designated plane.
However, prices would be quite high depending on the pet's size and level of danger.
It was Su Ping's only choice. Flying was banned in all of Rhea's cities. He couldn't fly back with the dragons, so he had them transported with the planes.
After an evaluation, Su Ping paid two hundred million in total to move the ten Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons back to Woffett.
He then realized that the rulers of Rhea were able to make a great fortune in many ways, with nothing but the Rumbling Thunder Continent!
It was quite profitable!
Su Ping was finally relieved once the ten dragons were finally moved to his shop. It had been an exhausting trip. The battles weren't hard, but the complicated procedures during his return were somewhat tiring for him.
It had also occurred to him that he was in dire need of a ma.s.sive storage treasure.
His scroll had been destroyed by the tree and couldn't be used anymore. He had to look for another s.p.a.ce treasure, so that he could stash the beasts he caught inside it and then take a flight back home. That way, all his troubles could be saved.
Everyone in the neighborhood became excited when the ten Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons were delivered to his shop.
Everybody on Rhea was familiar with the look of such dragons!
Their arrival caused quite a hit.
Su Ping took the ten dragons into his shop and reduced their sizes through the shop's resizing mechanism. He then asked Joanna to lead them to the pet room first.
Many customers followed the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons into the shop.
“Boss, are the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons available? What's their price?”
“How much are they? Can I pre-order now?”
“Boss, where are the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons? Can we see them?”
The customers on the entire street had crammed Su Ping's shop as if a big sale were in progress.
Su Ping wasn't too surprised. He had foreseen this when the dragons were being s.h.i.+pped over. He considered the five hundred million s.h.i.+pment as an advertis.e.m.e.nt for himself.
After all, he was still new to the place; he could attract a lot of customers with the ten Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons.
However… The system's rules still stood. He couldn't sell them even if he wanted to.
“Guys, calm down. Those beasts have just arrived; they can't be sold until they're trained. If you're interested in purchasing, please come again tomorrow,” said Su Ping calmly while raising his hand to keep everybody's voice down.
All the people in the shop were stunned. Many of them soon realized that the freshly arrived pets had yet to be groomed and evaluated first; there was no way they would be sold directly.
“Boss, can I pre-order one?”
“I can make the payment first!”
Several of the purple haired locals kept on making those extravagant remarks.
Su Ping shook his head and said, “This shop doesn't accept pre-orders. You can come tomorrow if you want them.”
The guys who intended to pay in advance looked at each other in bewilderment. One of them suddenly said, “Boss, can you sell me one first? I don't mind if it's not trained. I can train it on my own. Just state your price!”
Su Ping looked at the person who had just talked, only to find that he was a Void State battle pet warrior; he was already an elite expert even on a developed place such as Rhea!
“Sorry, but I do mind,” replied Su Ping.
