Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 181 Dragon Corpse Pit (Sixth Update + 19)

The group quickly arrived at the entrance of the Flame Scale Dragon's cave, which had collapsed somewhat after the previous collision.

Nie Chengkong's eyes flashed, and he led the team in first, with the others following closely behind.

The cave was pitch black, and even those with night vision felt their vision was somewhat blurred. It seemed that some strange energy had been mixed in with the air, affecting their eyesight.

"Um?"

As Nie Chengkong continued on his way, he suddenly sensed that something was amiss.

The collapsed rubble here shows signs of being crushed, but the crushed area is not large, unlike what would have happened if crushed by the robust body of the Flame Scaled Flood Dragon.

He frowned slightly. The Flame Scaled Flood Dragon had just left. Even if other demonic beasts wanted to take over, the speed was far too fast.

He shook his head inwardly, thinking he was overthinking things, and immediately quickened his pace again.

Walking along the winding cave, the only sounds were the footsteps and breathing of the group, and the air was filled with the stench of decay that had once lived in the Flame-Scaled Flood Dragon.

As they went deeper, the group found that the cave was not cold at all, but rather getting hotter and hotter.

Seven or eight minutes later.

The group stopped. Before them lay a pool of lava, from which scorching heat rose. The area around the pool had been excavated, revealing a hidden world. At the other end of the pool was another cave, but one even larger and more expansive than the one they had just entered.

Su Ping frowned slightly. He had explored this place in the breeding grounds, but there was only a lava pool here, where the Flame Scale Dragon lived. There was no cave on the other side!

Where did this huge cave come from?

Could it be that the Flame-Scaled Flood Dragon created it over countless years?

Although it felt a bit strange, Su Ping didn't think too much about it. After all, some of the previous treasure locations weren't exactly the same as the cultivation grounds, and time always brings some changes.

"That treasure should be in the cave opposite."

Nie Chengkong's eyes burned with passion.

The lava pool was filled with rich fiery energy, and he knew that the Flame Scaled Dragon liked to live in lava, so this was probably its bathing pool.

Opposite is the "dormitory," and the Star Essence Fruit could not possibly be anywhere else but inside!

"Wait for me here, I'll be right back," Nie Chengkong said.

Earlier, when his Demon Beast approached this place, it startled the Flame Scaled Flood Dragon living in the lava and was almost dragged into the lava. But now the Flame Scaled Flood Dragon has left, and this place is an empty nest, with only the treasure remaining.

"Captain, do you want me to go with you? It would be too dangerous if there were still monsters left here!" Ye Chenshan looked around, somewhat worried.

Nie Chengkong laughed and said, "It's alright. This Flame Scale Flood Dragon is a solitary demon beast that never lives in groups. Even its own kind fight amongst themselves. It would never allow other demon beasts to exist in its territory. You wait here for me, I'll be right back."

He didn't want Ye Chenshan and Elder Mo to know about the Star Essence Fruit if necessary, lest it be leaked and bring him to his death!

Seeing his insistence, Ye Chenshan had no choice but to say, "Then Captain, be careful."

"it is good."

Old Mo and the burly man surnamed Chen exchanged a glance, their eyes flickering slightly, a tacit understanding between them.

Several things about Nie Chengkong's actions puzzled them, and they suspected that Nie Chengkong possessed some secret information that he had not fully shared with them!

However, they didn't blame him. If Nie Chengkong really opened his heart and shared everything, they would find it rather strange.

In the process of pioneering and surviving, who wouldn't be cautious and wary of their own safety?

Nie Chengkong looked at the passage opposite the lava pool, took a deep breath, and jumped over.

The lava pool below was bubbling, as if something might burst out of it at any moment.

Once his feet touched the ground, Nie Chengkong breathed a sigh of relief. Without looking back, he quickly disappeared into the passage and vanished from everyone's sight.

Looking at Nie Chengkong's anxious appearance, Su Ping became even more certain that he knew about the secret treasure of this place. This puzzled him. How could someone know about this place when it had not been explored?

However, he didn't have much to envy; the Star Essence Fruit didn't hold much appeal for him.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Su Ping sensed an alarm from the Dark Dragon Hound.

He immediately transmitted the message telepathically and quickly learned the contents of the alert: Was there something else smelling here? Was there also the smell of blood?

Su Ping was suddenly startled, his expression changed slightly, and he looked around.

boom!!

A sudden, tremendous tremor came from the passageway opposite.

The sudden tremor startled Su Ping and the others, causing them to shudder. After all, this was the lair of the Flame Scaled Flood Dragon, an extremely dangerous place.

"Oh no, hurry and help!" Ye Chenshan said hastily. Nie Chengkong had been extremely kind to him, and he couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

Guo Yuelin's pretty face also changed. She turned to look at Elder Mo and the burly man surnamed Chen and said, "Seniors, let's go and provide support quickly."

Both men were stunned by the sudden turn of events. They only came to their senses after hearing Guo Yuelin's words. The burly man surnamed Chen's face changed slightly, and he had a bad feeling. However, it would be unreasonable to turn around and run away without seeing the situation clearly.

He took a deep breath and had the earth dragon, which was lying in the cave behind him, use an earthquake spell to create an earthen bridge.

Soon, the earth dragon stirred the ground, and a pillar of earth shot out at high speed, crashing into the cave on the opposite side.

Ye Chenshan took the lead and quickly ran along the earthen pillar.

Su Ping's eyes flashed, and he followed suit.

"team leader!"

Ye Chenshan shouted loudly, but no sound came out.

Apart from the earlier tremor, the interior suddenly became deathly silent, eerily so.

Although Ye Chenshan was eager to save people, he knew that he was not strong enough, so he did not rush in rashly. He waited until Su Ping, Elder Mo and others came to his side before summoning his pet beast to scout ahead.

This thing is very wide and the light is quite bright, and there seems to be a deep blue halo shining out from inside.

The group slowly made their way inside, and Ye Chenshan whispered, "Captain?"

Soon, the group arrived at the source of the azure light. There, they found an extremely spacious open space where a small, azure tree stood, about four or five meters tall, with leaves that were entirely blue and emanating a visible halo.

On this tree, there is a bright blue fruit.

Su Ping recognized it at a glance: it was a Star Essence Fruit!

This thing was originally on a protruding rock wall next to the lava pool, but now it has been moved here.

not good!

A sense of alarm rose in Su Ping's heart. This thing wouldn't move without reason; it was either the Flame Scale Flood Dragon or something else entirely.

"team leader!"

At this moment, Guo Yuelin exclaimed in surprise and rushed over.

Leaning against the nearby rock wall, Nie Chengkong lay on the verge of death. His chest appeared to have been pierced by something, with a bloody hole the size of a bowl in his heart.

Su Ping turned his head, his pupils contracted, and he hurriedly said, "Don't go!"

Guo Yuelin was startled. After all, she was a seasoned pioneer and reacted very quickly. However, the moment she stopped, several spikes suddenly shot out from the rock wall next to her. Almost instantly, they pierced through her neck, forehead, chest, and shoulders with a bang!

Instant kill!

Guo Yuelin's body trembled slightly. Her brain was dead, but her body was still trembling nervously, which showed how much pain she was in!

Ye Chenshan and Luo Guxue gasped in shock, their faces drained of color. Guo Yuelin was their old teammate, and he had been killed in the blink of an eye?!

Old Mo and the burly man surnamed Chen also sensed some danger. Their expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly summoned their pet beasts, looking around warily.

Su Ping didn't look at Guo Yuelin's dead body again. Instead, he summoned the little skeleton, the purple-green python, and the dark dragon dog to surround himself. As for the Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast, it was too tall to stretch out here, and summoning it would only make it a target.

"There's something..."

Mo Lao's eyes narrowed sharply. Through the Earthfire Sleeping Beast's senses, his face suddenly turned deathly pale, and he said in a trembling voice, "They're... around us."

He heard the sound of blood flowing, and this sound surrounded them, right there in the surrounding rock walls.

In addition, he sensed that Nie Chengkong on the ground was not completely dead and was still breathing, but he was exhaling more than he was inhaling. If he did not receive the best treatment immediately, death would be inevitable.

"Look, what's that?"

Luo Guxue suddenly saw a scene, and her pretty face instantly turned snow-white.

In front of the azure sapling was a deep pit, so deep that the outlines of what lay within were faintly visible under the blazing flames of the Holy Flame Bird.

Everyone stared intently at the scene, and their expressions all changed drastically.

Corpse!

Countless corpses!

Most of the corpses were dragon corpses!

Su Ping's pupils constricted; this scene was completely beyond his expectations.

Dragon corpse?

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that it was not a real dragon corpse, but rather the corpse of a jiaolong (a type of dragon-like creature). The dragon horns on its head had not yet fully formed; it only had four claws.

There will be one more update before 12 o'clock, making it seven updates today!
