Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 434 Merits

Some people believed it, while others did not. They felt that the old man was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see them continue to criticize Su Ping, so he spoke up to protect him.

Regardless, no one said anything more about the boy; the matter was over.

Su Ping ignored these people. Seeing that they had all stopped arguing, he was too lazy to say anything more. He only took action because he didn't want the train to be destroyed by these monsters and delay his journey, not because he was targeting these people.

"Where is Butler Huang?"

Just then, a bright, nervous voice rang out.

Everyone looked over and saw that it was the owner of the phantom red dragon dog from before.

The girl looked nervous. After waiting for a long time without the butler returning, she couldn't help but ask Ji Zhantang and Su Ping.

The two high-level pet master bodyguards beside her also looked tense.

They had a grudge against Ji Zhantang, and now that they didn't have a butler around, they wouldn't be able to withstand Ji Zhantang's attack.

Upon hearing this, Ji Zhantang couldn't help but glance at Su Ping beside him.

"He's dead."

Su Ping said calmly.

The girl's face turned pale instantly.

The two bodyguards beside her also changed their expressions in shock. One of them quickly jumped onto the gap in the carriage and soon found the lower half of the old man in the suit on the carriage.

Beside its corpse, the Rock-type wyvern remained guarding it.

Although the contract was broken, the Rock-type dragon pet could still feel a sense of intimacy from the corpse beside it and was unwilling to leave.

The bodyguard wanted to retrieve the corpse, but the Rock-type wyvern took an aggressive stance. However, it seemed to sense that this was human territory and there were no other wyverns around. Instead of attacking, it grabbed the corpse from the ground, broke through the rock wall, and burrowed underground to escape.

After watching the Rock-type sub-dragon leave, the bodyguard stood there for a moment before returning to the carriage.

He whispered the news to the lady next to him.

Hearing his words, the girl turned deathly pale, biting her lower lip and glaring at Ji Zhantang in the distance. In her opinion, even someone like Su Ping could survive, but her housekeeper Huang was dead. There must be a conspiracy involved, and it was even possible that the old man had attacked her from behind!

"Miss."

The two bodyguards beside her watched the girl nervously, afraid that she would say something that would cause trouble again. Now that the butler was not around, they were no match for Ji Zhantang.

But the girl just gritted her teeth and didn't say another word.

The carriage fell silent.

Having been attacked by a demonic beast, no one was in the mood to speak anymore, nor did they dare to say anything more, for fear of attracting other demonic beasts.

In the silence, everyone could also hear vibrations transmitted through the carriage from elsewhere.

It appears from time to time.

Everyone's faces looked rather grim.

Each tremor indicated that other carriages were being attacked by monsters, possibly engaged in combat.

Time passed slowly, and half an hour later, for nearly ten minutes, there was no further movement. Just when everyone thought the monster had gone away, a whooshing sound suddenly came from the carriage.

Upon hearing the whistling sound, many people's expressions changed, and they immediately became tense, looking at Ji Zhantang, the old man who was their pillar of strength.

Su Ping's expression shifted, and he looked up.

The whooshing sound stopped on the carriage, and then a figure slowly floated down from the gap. It was Wu Tianming, the burly man with the title that Su Ping and Ji Zhantang had met before.

Upon seeing Wu Tianming, the senior train attendants were taken aback, but their faces lit up with joy, and they quickly and respectfully greeted, "Greetings, Senior Duanshan."

Everyone else was startled and was astonished to see the person hovering in the carriage. They were then incredibly excited, for this was a titled expert!

"Help!"

Immediately, someone rushed forward to call for help.

Although they hadn't encountered any more monster attacks in the past half hour, they still wanted to leave the train and tunnel as soon as possible. In this dark underground tunnel, their mental endurance was on the verge of collapse.

Wu Tianming ignored him and instead glanced around the scene. He was somewhat surprised to see that there was no blood or corpses at the scene. Then his gaze fell on Ji Zhantang and Su Ping. He immediately flew to Ji Zhantang and said, "Grandpa, the situation was too rushed earlier, and I didn't have time to thank you properly."

Ji Zhantang was flattered and quickly replied, "With great power comes great responsibility. Protecting our compatriots is what we should do."

Wu Tianming nodded with respect in his eyes and said, "I just asked the train conductor. The monster attack we encountered this time was on a large scale. Several ninth-level monsters attacked different carriages. The train was severely damaged and can no longer move forward."

However, we have already signaled to the nearest platform, and a new train will arrive in about 15 hours.

You will be able to transfer to the new train for free.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "If you two have any urgent matters, we can arrange for a flying pet to take you there. This is a special privilege for you two, as a way of thanking you for your help."

As he spoke, he glanced at Su Ping beside him.

Upon hearing the words of this titled expert, everyone in the carriage exchanged glances, both relieved and astonished, and couldn't help but look at Su Ping.

They didn't quite believe Ji Zhantang when he said the young man had helped, but now that this titled expert was saying the same thing, it was obviously true!

They really misunderstood this boy!

Thinking of this, some people showed a look of shame.

When others rushed out to help, they mistakenly thought they were running away and even made unwarranted accusations.

Several senior train attendants also looked embarrassed.

They asked Ji Zhantang for help because the latter was a master, but Su Ping was just a teenager whose combat strength might not even be as strong as theirs, yet he was willing to take the initiative to step forward. Such courage made them feel ashamed.

Ji Qiuyu was stunned, not expecting that she had really misunderstood Su Ping.

She looked at the young man, but saw that his face was calm and composed. She couldn't help but feel a little regretful. She put herself in his shoes and thought that if she were in his shoes, she would probably be disheartened if she stepped forward to help but was misunderstood.

She hesitated, wanting to step forward and apologize.

But at this moment, Su Ping had already walked past her and stood in front of Wu Tianming, asking, "I'm in a hurry to get to Holy Light Base City. Can you deliver it there?"

Holy Light Base City?

Ji Zhantang and Ji Qiuyu were both taken aback. They exchanged a glance, realizing that this was the base city they were also heading to.

They and Su Ping were actually heading to the same destination.

Wu Tianming was slightly taken aback, then nodded and said, "Okay, I will arrange for a flying pet to deliver you on time, or even ahead of time."

Su Ping breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good."

"And what about you, sir?" Wu Tianming asked Ji Zhantang.

Ji Zhantang glanced at Su Ping, hesitated for a moment, and said, "We're going to Holy Light Base City too."

Wu Tianming was surprised, but he nodded and said, "Okay."

"Sir, we also want to ride in flying pets."

"I can pay for it."

"My lord, I am from the Sun family of Jinghai..."

When others saw that there was preferential treatment, they couldn't wait to come over as well.

After all, there had been attacks by monsters here, and who knew if those monsters would come back? They all wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

Wu Tianming's eyes turned slightly cold. He snorted and immediately silenced the noisy crowd. He said coldly, "This is a special treatment for the two of you. Without them, many of you might have died!"

If you want to ride a flying pet, leave early. Someone else will take care of you afterwards. You can apply to see if they'll approve it, but I don't know!

The others were so intimidated by the imposing aura of the title that they dared not speak recklessly again.

"Gentlemen, please bring your luggage and follow me."

Wu Tianming spoke to Ji Zhantang and Su Ping, his attitude softening again.

"We don't have much," Ji Zhantang said, pulling his granddaughter along.

Su Ping had already put his luggage into the storage space and was now all alone, indicating that he was ready to leave at any time.

Seeing that they were ready, Wu Tianming nodded and flew out through the gap in the carriage.

Ji Zhantang immediately jumped out of the carriage with his granddaughter.

Su Ping easily jumped out of the carriage.

"Walk."

Wu Tianming spoke, and a thought enveloped Su Ping and Ji Zhantang, taking them directly into the air and flying forward along the tunnel.

Su Ping did not resist this thought and let it carry him through the air.

Both Ji Zhantang and his grandson were a little nervous. This was the first time they had flown without the help of their battle pets. Looking at the tunnel rushing past them, their speed was comparable to that of a typical high-level battle pet.

The two grew increasingly awe of the titled level, for although the difference between the eighth and ninth levels was only one step, it was as if they were separated by an insurmountable chasm.

……

Inside the tunnel, one can see many monster corpses along the way, as well as some carriages that have been destroyed and broken into pieces, containing many human corpses that have been crushed, a truly gruesome sight.

The entire tunnel was filled with a faint smell of blood.

Upon seeing so many corpses, both Ji Zhantang and his grandson wore somber expressions.

The group remained silent throughout the flight.

Before long, their speed slowed down slightly, and there was an upward rock passage ahead.

Wu Tianming led Su Ping and the other two, flying upwards along the spacious rock passage. Before long, they reached the end of the passage, where the ground lay beyond.

This is a desolate plain, surrounded by weeds.

There are quite a few people here right now, setting up temporary tents, mostly for medical staff.

There are many injured people here, and they are receiving emergency treatment.

Meanwhile, a group of about twenty or thirty people stood in a more distant spot. They were dressed in various styles, some in expensive and luxurious clothes, while others were simply dressed but exuded a restrained and profound aura.

Most of these people were uninjured.

"They are all people who have chartered private carriages, and there are brave men like you who stepped forward," Wu Tianming said, as he slowly lowered his body and placed Su Ping and Ji Zhantang, grandfather and grandson, on the ground.

Ji Zhantang and his grandson looked at the dozens of people and found that most of them were uninjured and had not even been stained with blood. It seemed that the attack by the underground monsters had nothing to do with them.

These people are all owners of private carriages, either rich or powerful, truly important figures, or have connections with important figures.

"Duanshan, who are these three?"

After Wu Tianming landed, a lean middle-aged man next to him looked over and frowned immediately: "I remember the VIPs in the private carriages have already been picked up, right?"

Wu Tianming glanced at him and said, "These three are the people who stepped forward to help among the demonic beasts."

"help?"

The lean middle-aged man raised an eyebrow, glanced at Ji Zhantang, and looked slightly relieved. The latter was an eighth-level battle pet master, and if he stepped forward to help, he could indeed play a significant role.

As for the girl who was holding his arm, he could tell at a glance that she was someone close to him.

"Are the three of you together?" The man looked at Su Ping and noticed that Su Ping and the old man didn't seem to have a very close relationship.

Ji Zhantang said respectfully, "We are in the same carriage."

The lean middle-aged man looked enlightened, glanced at Su Ping, and said to Wu Tianming, "This old man has been a great help. He can go up later. As for this young man, you should take him back with you. There are plenty of people who helped out just now. Don't bring along just anyone who helped out. There aren't that many Griffin Eagles."

Ji Zhantang was stunned, only then realizing why the other party had asked him. His expression changed slightly as he looked at Su Ping beside him.

Wu Tianming frowned slightly and said, "The two of them worked together to repel a ninth-level demonic beast. Such merit is enough to deserve such treatment."

"Work together to repel it?" The lean middle-aged man raised an eyebrow, then scoffed, "If you find an ordinary person to help me repel a ninth-tier demonic beast, am I supposed to give the other side credit for that? Credit for being a hindrance?"

……

Tomorrow is Monday, please give me some votes! I hope to see it break 2000 in a single day!
