Chapter 185 Return

After they left, Su Ping summoned the Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast and unleashed Purgatory Flames, burning the dragon corpse pit and the corpses of everyone inside to ashes.

After disposing of the remains, Su Ping stored the Star Essence Tree in his storage space and then jumped out of the area. Before leaving, he ordered the Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast to tear up the ground, completely destroying the place beyond recognition.

Luo Guxue and Ye Chenshan waited for Su Ping in the open space outside the cave. Seeing the Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast and the Dark Dragon Hound wreaking havoc in the cave, turning it upside down, they knew that Su Ping was destroying evidence and erasing all traces.

"Brother Su, what kind of tree was that inside? Was it destroyed too?" Ye Chenshan asked, puzzled when he saw Su Ping return empty-handed with his bag, without the spirit tree.

"This is the Star Essence Tree, and the fruit it bears is the Star Essence Fruit."

Su Ping didn't hide anything. Both of them had seen what the spirit tree looked like. If they were concerned, they could go out and look up some information and find out what it was sooner or later. It was better for him to just tell them directly.

"The Star Spirit Tree?"

The two were taken aback. Luo Guxue seemed to realize something, her pretty face changing slightly with surprise and doubt. She asked, "Is it the kind of Star Essence Fruit that can directly raise your cultivation level by one small stage?"

Su Ping nodded.

Ye Chenshan's pupils contracted slightly, somewhat taken aback.

At this moment, he finally understood why Su Ping had destroyed the Star Essence Tree. If he had carried the tree out of the secret realm, he would have caused a sensation as soon as he appeared on the Dragon Ascension Platform and been watched by everyone around him.

At that point, it will no longer be a treasure, but a deadly scourge.

No wonder Su Ping wanted to destroy this place, and destroy it so thoroughly!

Although they knew it was a self-preservation measure, the thought of such a precious treasure being destroyed still caused them both great distress.

"No wonder the captain was in such a hurry..." Luo Guxue murmured to herself, her eyes dimming.

Upon hearing her words, Ye Chenshan thought of the deceased Nie Chengkong, and his expression changed slightly. He sighed inwardly. He had previously felt that the captain was too hasty, coming directly without even searching the corpse of the Flame Scale Flood Dragon.

It seems that the captain most likely kept it from them and knew what the treasure of this place was.

It's no wonder Nie Chengkong was so eager and impatient with a Star Essence Fruit; its value to him was immense.

Unfortunately, just like his name suggests, he not only failed to obtain the treasure, but also lost his life, truly making everything come to naught.

"Currently, only the three of us know about this Star Essence Fruit. If the news leaks out, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble. I hope you can keep this a secret," Su Ping said earnestly, looking at the two of them.

Luo Guxue nodded immediately, "Don't worry, Professor Su, I will not reveal a single word."

Ye Chenshan understood Su Ping's meaning and said, "Brother Su, you have saved us twice. I will definitely keep this a secret. Besides, it won't do us any good to tell anyone."

Su Ping nodded, summoned the Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast and the little skeleton back to the spirit beast space, then had the Dark Dragon Hound follow him, while he jumped onto the head of the Purple-Green Python and said, "Let's go back."

Seeing that Su Ping didn't mention how to distribute the Star Essence Fruits, Ye Chenshan felt a little regretful, but he quickly dismissed the thought. This time, everything went smoothly, but unexpectedly, things went wrong in the end, with heavy casualties. They were able to survive entirely by luck. Now that they had survived the ordeal, he didn't have the mind to ask for too much. Moreover, Su Ping's two acts of kindness in saving him made it difficult for him to feel jealous.

Not daring to linger, the two jumped onto their respective pets and followed Su Ping away at high speed.

Luo Guxue's Holy Flame Bird was severely injured and was taken back to her pet space. She then summoned another seventh-tier wind-type monster to get around.

The three of them first went to the corpse of the ninth-rank high-level Flame Scale Flood Dragon and met up with Zhou Jing, who was guarding the place.

Upon meeting them, Zhou Jing only saw the three of them and his expression changed slightly. He asked, "Where's the captain?"

Ye Chenshan sighed inwardly and said, "The captain died by accident, Elder Mo died, and Yue Lin died too..."

Zhou Jing's pupils contracted, and he looked at him in disbelief.

No wonder he heard a huge commotion and a dragon's roar from that side earlier; it turned out to be exactly what he least wanted to happen.

"How could this happen? What happened to you?" Zhou Jing asked hurriedly.

Luo Guxue's expression was bitter as she briefly recounted the events to him, but she didn't mention the spirit tree, only mentioning it quickly as a "secret treasure."

After listening to Luo Guxue's words, Zhou Jing's expression was complicated. He didn't expect that the team, which hadn't suffered any serious injuries along the way, would almost be wiped out at the last moment. He also didn't expect that there would be two Flame Scale Flood Dragons here, one of which was at the peak of the ninth rank!

Thinking of Nie Chengkong and Guo Yuelin's deaths, besides feeling heartbroken, he also felt a small, unspeakable sense of relief.

If he had gone in with the team, he would probably have met the same fate.

"It was actually the Poison Fang team! Those despicable bastards!" After realizing he had been used, Zhou Jing gritted his teeth and transferred his anger to the Poison Fang team. However, the Poison Dragon team had already been wiped out and received their retribution, so he could only vent his anger by cursing a few times.

"Clean up the dragon's corpse immediately and go back," Su Ping said. "Otherwise, that dragon might reappear."

Upon hearing Su Ping's words, the three of them immediately came to their senses, their hair standing on end. Ye Chenshan nodded quickly, jumped into the valley, took out the secret treasure sword that had fallen from Elder Mo's hand, and deftly removed the useful parts from the Flame Scale Flood Dragon's corpse.

Su Ping also sent the Dark Dragon Dog and the Purple-Green Python to eat dragon meat and have a hearty meal.

This is real dragon meat, not an illusion, and it's a highly nutritious food to satisfy hunger.

Soon, Ye Chenshan retrieved the most precious energy crystal from the Flame Scale Flood Dragon's body and returned to the team.

"Let's go." Zhou Jing said nervously. He had Hundred-Eyed Eagle keep a close watch on the surroundings, fearing that the Flame-Scaled Flood Dragon that Ye Chenshan and the others had mentioned might suddenly appear. He was even unwilling to take the Flame-Scaled Flood Dragon's corpse.

Su Ping told them to put away their pets and sit on the head of the Purple-Green Python, then ordered the Python to return at full speed.

At the edge of this secret realm is an energy barrier that separates the various Dragon Scale regions. Even titled experts cannot cross this barrier.

At the node of this energy barrier lies the teleportation vortex leading to the plaza.

Su Ping rode the Purple-Green Python with ease, avoiding areas with small beast tides along the way. He only encountered a few wandering demonic beasts and successfully passed through the energy node, teleporting back to the plaza.

……

A noisy commotion arose.

When Su Ping and the others opened their eyes again, they were already riding the Purple-Green Python to the square. There were many bloodstains on the ground of the square, and some people were talking about something. Besides them, there were other teams that had returned from other Dragon Scale regions.

"A purple-blue python?"

Some people saw Su Ping and his companions being teleported out, and were somewhat taken aback when they saw that their mounts were only mid-level pets. They wondered how such creatures dared to explore the secret realm.

The other teams also turned their attention to the scene, and when they saw Luo Guxue injured and Ye Chenshan weak, they all showed disdain.

"Please put your pet away in the square." A guard walked over and looked up at Su Ping with a cold face.

Su Ping jumped off the head of the Purple-Green Python. After Luo Guxue and the others also got off, he put the Purple-Green Python back into his spirit beast space. He glanced at the unusual bloodstains on the ground and asked, "Was there a battle here?"

The guard snorted and said, "When a team escaped back, they lured out a ninth-tier high-level demonic beast. Fortunately, the Sword Master was stationed there and killed it with a single strike."

Su Ping suddenly realized, looked up at the sky, and saw a sharp figure standing in mid-air, overlooking the entire scene, like a god.

"Not even a legendary battle pet master, yet you already have this much intimidation?" Su Ping's eyes narrowed slightly, then he quickly looked away and asked the three astonished people beside him, "Are you planning to leave the secret realm and go back, or continue wandering around here?"
