Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 225 Combat Power, Breaking 10!

Realizing this, Su Ping once again deeply felt the cruelty of the laws of survival, which even the gods could not escape.

However, the system's words reminded Su Ping of something else.

"Can these Abyss Starry Sky Insects be contracted to become pet beasts?" Su Ping asked the system in his mind.

According to the system, this Zerg can digest gods and undead creatures and extract their energy. If I had such a pet, I could use this Zerg to transform them in the future when I went to a necromantic plane like the Chaos Necromancer Realm.

The system fell silent.

After a long silence, it slowly said, "Everything can be a pet..."

Su Ping had heard these words before, but hearing them from the system this time, he sensed a hint of sadness in its tone.

Su Ping was momentarily surprised by the system's tone, but he didn't think much of it at the moment. Instead, he was pleasantly surprised by the system's answer. In that case, he could capture an Abyss Starry Sky Insect from here and take it away.

"It seems I'll have to keep looking for the Abyss Starry Sky Insect Clan for the next two days," Su Ping thought to himself.

By this time, Little Skeleton and Heavenly Fragrance Pig had cleared away all the Zerg corpses in the area, and returned all the Divine Crystals to Su Ping, piling them up high. Su Ping still chose to give them to the Dark Dragon Hound.

Soon, the divine value within the Dark Dragon Hound reached 100 points again, which was converted into one point of divine energy.

At this moment, it has a total of 2 points of divine energy and 68 points of divine nature.

Su Ping wanted to test what kind of power it possessed when it unleashed its divine transformation technique.

"Can the used divine power be restored?" Su Ping asked the system in his mind before the test.

"It can slowly recover over time," the system said, its tone returning to its usual calm.

Su Ping breathed a sigh of relief and, through his thoughts, instructed the Dark Dragon Hound to unleash a divine skill that required 2 points of divine energy, tearing apart the dragon's claws.

This is an eighth-tier pet skill.

Sensing Su Ping's intent, the Dark Dragon Hound's fur stood on end, and strands of golden hair within it shone brightly, seemingly radiating golden light. Then, a golden halo appeared on its paws.

Roar!

The dark dragon hound suddenly charged out, tearing its dragon claws and slamming them against the cave.

With a loud bang, like an earthquake, the thick cavern instantly burst open, creating a giant hole more than ten meters in diameter, through which the azure sky and the unique star field could be seen.

Su Ping's pupils contracted slightly, somewhat shocked.

That power is incredible!

At least, the attack power has been increased by two to three times!

Such power is comparable to some ninth-tier attack skills; the improvement is enormous.

If it were replaced with some divine secret techniques, its power could probably rival that of a king-level beast!

Su Ping stepped out of the wall and saw a claw-like groove over a hundred meters long broken in the ground outside. He felt his blood boil. He turned to look at the Dark Dragon Hound, who was also frightened, and checked its internal state. He found that the two points of divine energy it had accumulated had been cleared.

However, the system said that this divine power can be slowly restored over time.

"It seems that this divine power is like a nuclear bomb, which can be detonated at the critical moment and launch a desperate counterattack!" Su Ping felt that this demigod's fall site was worth visiting again in the future, and the more divine crystals he collected, the better.

What puzzled Su Ping was that even after the Dark Dragon Hound obtained divine power, its aptitude remained unchanged, still at the upper-middle level.

Could it be that divine power was not taken into account in this assessment of qualifications?

Regardless, the combat strength that Su Ping values ​​most has seen some improvement.

During the five days of training, the Dark Dragon Hound's combat power increased from 9.2 to 9.4, and after just acquiring divine power, its combat power suddenly surged to 9.6!

With divine power, it can hunt down a mid-level ninth-tier monster on its own!

It should be noted that the Dark Dragon Hound's current level is still at the upper level of the sixth tier. Due to the constraints of its bloodline, it has not been able to improve or evolve further. Such a boost in combat power is already quite astonishing.

"If we give the little skeleton divine power, perhaps its combat power can break through 9.9 and reach 10 points!"

Su Ping thought to himself.

When the little skeleton entered this demigod's fallen land, its combat power was already 9.9.

Five days have passed, and it's still 9.9.

During the past few days of nurturing, Su Ping felt that the little skeleton was significantly stronger than before, but its combat power seemed to have hit a plateau and had not been able to break through. The 0.1 combat power difference between 9.9 and 10 seemed to be a huge number condensed into it.

This felt like breaking through from the ninth-tier limit to the King Beast level—extremely difficult.

"However, wouldn't it be a bit strange to give the little skeleton divine energy? It's an undead creature, so it might be better for it to absorb nether energy. But an undead creature that absorbs divine energy... that seems like a possibility."

Su Ping's eyes flashed as he beckoned the purple-green python to swim over and jump onto its head.

"Walk."

He continued on his journey, this time with the goal of searching for the Zerg while training.

……

……

Two days later.

In a dense forest within the Starry Sea Forest.

The ground trembled violently, as if a giant beast was stomping on it. Five figures rushed out from within, breathing heavily. One of them, a woman, sat on the back of a golden-furred dragon-wolf. This dragon-wolf was swift and fierce, with menacing fangs; it was a top-tier ninth-order demon beast.

To be precise, it has the bloodline of a semi-divine beast, an extremely long lifespan of several thousand years, and has developed a high level of intelligence.

"It's a swarm of insects!"

"There's actually a void entrance here, damn it!"

The expressions on their faces were not very good.

Feeling the increasingly close vibrations behind them, and the piercing yet deep crawling sounds of arthropods, the group felt a chill run down their spines and their hair stand on end.

Suddenly, one of the boys said, "I'll cover the rear, you guys run first."

"Su?"

"No way! We came together, how can we let you cover the rear alone!"

"If anyone should be covering the rear, it should be me, the captain, covering the rear. Su, I appreciate your kindness, and I, Luo Yan, am determined to be your friend!"

A burly man in the group said, looking at the young man and grinning, "If there's an afterlife, I'll drink with you again!"

"team leader……"

The boy's expression changed slightly, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips. He hadn't expected these extraordinary people to be so loyal and so naive.

"I still have the strength to fight, and I have a way to escape. Let me handle this, stop talking." The boy spoke again, this time with an undeniable look in his eyes and a powerful aura emanating from his entire body.

The group was taken aback and somewhat surprised when they sensed that the boy had suddenly become a different person.

The woman riding the dragon-wolf gazed intently at him for a moment, then whispered, "We're waiting for you!"

"Su..."

The others looked hesitant.

Without saying anything more, the boy suddenly opened up a space and summoned a dragon beast.

The dragon beast landed and let out a fierce roar.

The boy perched on the dragon's shoulder, turned around, and waved to his four teammates.

The four teammates turned to look, watching the boy's figure standing behind them, getting further and further away, but the smile on the boy's face was still clear, as if it were right in front of them, leaving them stunned.

"Su..."

The burly captain gritted his teeth slightly and reached up to wipe his eyes.

The woman riding the dragon wolf also bit her lip slightly, deeply engraving the boy's face in her heart.

The other two looked on with pity and looked away.

Squeak squeak squeak!!

In front of the boy and the dragon beast, a large area of ​​the forest collapsed, dust rose, and giant trees fell. From behind the trees, a dark and ferocious torrent of creatures, all of which were ugly insects and beasts, surged forth.

The next moment, in their sight, the boy and the furiously roaring dragon were both engulfed by the swarm of insects…

Faced with this overwhelming horde of Zerg, individual strength is far too weak and fragile to withstand.

……

"In ten minutes, these Zerg should all have run away..."

In the resurrected consciousness space, Su Ping looked at the two resurrection options in front of him, but did not choose immediately. Instead, he waited quietly.

He wanted to resurrect on the spot, but he was currently in the midst of the insect swarm, and resurrection would only mean death. If he were to resurrect randomly, he didn't know where he would end up. It was rare to encounter an insect swarm. If he waited for the tide to recede and only a small group of insect beasts remained, he could have a good hunt and earn a lot of divine crystals.

"I wonder if these guys will be able to escape..."

Su Ping wanted to turn around and look at his teammates, but at this moment he was in the space of consciousness and had no physical body, so he could not turn around. All around him was pitch black.

These teammates are from an adventure team.

They are all extraordinary people.

The term "divine being" refers to someone whose bloodline is mostly human, with a small portion being divine. Generally, they were divine beings during the time of their great-great-great-great-grandfather.

Su Ping's joining this adventure group was completely unexpected.

When he was randomly resurrected outside this divine city last time, he happened to encounter them recruiting team members to hunt down a wormhole. Su Ping joined them, as having someone guide him would make things much easier and save him time.

Along the way, Su Ping received a lot of help from his teammates. Although he felt it was unnecessary, they meant well and he couldn't be ungrateful.

In this absolutely silent space of consciousness, where even the flow of time cannot be perceived, the concept of ten minutes was something Su Ping counted silently in his mind.

After ten minutes, Su Ping chose to revive on the spot.

Upon resurrection, Su Ping immediately released all his senses, becoming alert to his surroundings.

This action also saved him 120 resurrection energy points immediately. As soon as he resurrected, a Zergling attacked from behind.

Su Ping quickly dodged away, while simultaneously summoning the Dark Dragon Hound and the Little Skeleton.

hiss!

The little skeleton emerged from the summoning space, its body vanishing instantly, and slashed the insectoid creature to death with a single blow.

This Zergling is an eighth-tier fighter with few skills, but its body is incredibly tough. However, what the little skeleton fears least is toughness, because the bone knife in its hand is almost indestructible.

Su Ping summoned his pet beasts one by one, while looking around. He found that there were still more than a dozen insectoid creatures around, gnawing on the trees. As he appeared, the insects quickly turned their heads and swarmed over.

kill!

Without saying a word, Su Ping immediately ordered the little skeleton to lead the charge into the swarm of insects.

As the battle raged, more and more Zerg were drawn to the scene. Su Ping discovered that the Zerg from before had not completely left. As the battle intensified, a large swarm of Zerg surged in.

Su Ping sighed, resisted for a moment, and was eventually overwhelmed.

Another wave of excruciating pain followed, then calm returned.

Su Ping continued to wait in the space of consciousness.

He went out again after half an hour and found that there were no more insectoids nearby. He summoned several pet beasts and followed the traces of the insect swarm.

Before long, Su Ping found the scattered insectoids and killed them one by one.

Su Ping handed the divine crystals he found inside the Zerg to Little Skeleton. In the past two days of hunting, apart from the Heavenly Fragrance Pig, all of his pet beasts had acquired 3 points of divine power.

This divine power is enough for them to unleash a divine technique.

The one with the most accumulated divine energy within his body is the little skeleton, with eight points!

These eight points of divine power are enough for the little skeleton to unleash two or three divine skills in a row!

Upon acquiring the divine power attribute, the little skeleton's combat power finally broke the stalemate of 9.9 and successfully entered the level of 10.1.

This is already at the level of a King Beast!

The little skeleton's aptitude finally improved again, reaching the upper-middle level.

When its combat power broke through from 9.9 to 10, its aptitude jumped from lower-middle to upper-middle.

The 0.1 increase in combat power allowed his incredibly difficult-to-improve aptitude rating to instantly jump a level, something Su Ping hadn't anticipated.

This also shows how huge a barrier this combat power gap of 9.9 to 10 is!

"Although this cultivation effort was very costly in terms of energy expenditure, the results were also considerable, and the specialized cultivation task has been successfully completed. In a few hours, we will be able to return..."

Su Ping let out a soft sigh of relief. Although he was extremely tired, he felt relaxed.

Thanks to the efforts of the past few days, Tianxiang Pig's combat power has also surpassed 7 points, and its aptitude has reached the upper-middle level.

Su Ping's own pets have also improved significantly, making this trip extremely fruitful.

Two hours later, Su Ping caught up with the insect swarm and found that they had set up camp on a huge mountain in the Star Sea Forest and were building caves there.

Su Ping's arrival immediately alerted the Zerg. Some Zerg had a wider range of perception than the Dark Dragon Hound, so Su Ping was detected by the Zerg before he even received the Dark Dragon Hound's warning signal.

As expected, Su Ping and his pets were immediately surrounded and swiftly annihilated.

Among Su Ping's pet beasts was an Abyssal Starry Sky Insect that tried to communicate with its own kind on Su Ping's behalf, but ended up being killed along with its kin.

This Abyss Starry Sky Insect was a juvenile Abyss Starry Sky Insect captured by Su Ping. It was only at the seventh rank and was also the lowest bloodline of the Blue Beetle among the Abyss Starry Sky Insects. Although its combat power was raised to 8 points under Su Ping's training, making it a formidable existence in the outside world, it was just a small fry in front of the high-level insects that surrounded and annihilated Su Ping.

However, despite being a minor enemy, it still possesses the characteristics of the Abyssal Starry Sky Zerg, namely, energy conversion.

This is also why Su Ping didn't complain.

This time, Su Ping did not choose to resurrect on the spot. The Zerg were camped here, so resurrecting would be pointless. He would either wait in the consciousness space for the countdown to end, and then resurrect and be teleported out.

Either you'll be randomly resurrected and continue fooling around in another location.

After estimating the remaining time, Su Ping thought for a moment and decided to choose random resurrection.

When Su Ping opened his eyes again, he saw a white figure once more.

The room was filled with the fragrance of a young girl's body and the swaying curtains. It was an extremely empty room. In front of Su Ping was a huge bed, and on the bed lay a girl, quietly leaning against the headboard... picking her nose.
