Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 516 Heading to

"Really?"

Upon hearing Xie Jinshui's words, Su Ping immediately became excited and said, "Okay, let's go now." As he spoke, he strained his body and almost couldn't catch his breath.

Seeing that Su Ping's face had turned even paler, Xie Jinshui hadn't expected Su Ping to be in such a hurry, and quickly helped him up: "Boss Su, are you alright? Why don't you rest for a while? I see that your body seems to be severely overworked."

"I'm fine..."

Su Ping gasped for breath, but as soon as he finished speaking, his vision suddenly went black, and dark shadows appeared in his sight like evil spirits. Overwhelmed by exhaustion, Su Ping fainted.

"Boss Su!"

Seeing Su Ping fall, Xie Jinshui and Qin Duhuang were both shocked and quickly helped him up.

When they saw that Su Ping seemed to have fainted, the two were shocked. They hadn't expected Su Ping to be so exhausted that he had collapsed from exhaustion.

It's not hard to imagine how much effort Su Ping had put in when facing that other shore.

Both men had complicated expressions. They exchanged a glance, and Qin Duhuang took Su Ping's body, saying, "I will immediately send someone to take Boss Su back to his shop and call a therapist to help him recover. I'll leave this to you."

Xie Jinshui nodded immediately. The fact that Bi'an was able to be driven away and Longjiang was able to be saved this time was all thanks to Su Ping. The biggest task now is to take good care of Su Ping and not let anything go wrong.

"Go ahead."

"it is good."

Qin Duhuang immediately set off to leave.

After Qin Duhuang took Su Ping away, Xie Jinshui also regained his composure, took a deep breath, and immediately used wartime communications to find out about the situation on other fronts.

After learning that the situation in the north and west had also stabilized, Xie Jinshui breathed a sigh of relief and felt even more grateful to Su Ping. In the area guarded by the Ye family in the north, it was only thanks to Su Ping's dragon-dog beast that the area was able to be suppressed. Otherwise, it would probably have been the first place to be breached. After all, it would have been almost impossible for the Ye family and their military forces alone to resist the three-headed king beast.

"Everyone, kill with all your might!!"

Xie Jinshui drew his sword and roared as he charged into the beast tide.

The other pet trainers also responded loudly, unleashing countless skills into the beast tide.

……

As news of the other side being driven away spread, morale soared in the north and west, in addition to the east. Everyone was incredibly excited, and even some of the title holders who had originally planned to conserve their strength to save their lives were excited and charged back into the battlefield, quickly routing the beast tide.

The beast tide that had been besieging Longjiang from all sides collapsed on a massive scale, leaving behind countless corpses.

One by one, titled pet masters charged into the beast tide.

Other battle pet masters formed formations, integrated their power, and also played a significant role on the battlefield.

Monsters roared, humans howled, and blood flowed like rivers and corpses piled up like mountains all around the base.

This defense lasted from morning to afternoon, and after the other side left, it lasted for a full three hours. With casualties every minute and every second, the monsters were finally completely driven back!

After the beast tide around the base was routed and fled, Xie Jinshui announced that the base had held out.

Upon hearing this news, all the pet trainers who remained in Longjiang were moved to tears.

The blood was not shed in vain!

They held on in the end!

They held on desperately amidst the attacks from the other side and the attacks from the King Beast!

Everyone felt proud of themselves, but also grieved for their comrades and loved ones who had sacrificed their lives in the battle.

The five major families remained silent.

Many of their battle pet masters also perished, including elites from their families and those with titles. These people were like family to them.

Although the battle was won, the casualties were devastating. Outside the base city, there was blood and corpses everywhere. The corpses of monsters were countless, and the human corpses mixed in with them were also countless!

After a brief adjustment and rest, Xie Jinshui sent people to track the whereabouts of the defeated beast tide, and also instructed the intelligence department to continue monitoring the situation in the wasteland outside the base city, in order to prevent the fleeing beasts from returning to attack again.

Meanwhile, Xie Jinshui dispatched a team to locate and retrieve the corpses of the fallen battle pet masters outside the base city.

These pet trainers died for Longjiang; they are all heroes!

Heroes should not have their bones left to shiver.

The teams searching for the bodies were all filled with mixed emotions.

They saw many corpses of battle pet masters. Some were in the mouths of monsters, bitten in two, but still in an attacking stance before dying, their arms stuck firmly in the monsters' heads. Others were in the bellies of monsters, but the monsters' bellies had been ripped open, their internal organs spilling out, only the outer skin had been digested, leaving them a bloody mess.

The ground was littered with severed hands and feet, a scene of utter bloodshed.

Some of the corpses had faces etched with fear, while others had faces contorted with rage and madness.

Every injury or death means the loss of a family.

In this battle, countless families will face the pain of losing a member!

Longjiang was saved.

But it was only through the sacrifice of countless people that it was preserved.

After the initial joy, everyone was stunned into silence by the post-war casualty figures, and the entire Heilongjiang province was shrouded in sorrow and gloom.

Xie Jinshui was in the mood to hold a victory celebration during the first wave of beast tides because very few battle pet masters were killed or injured, and Su Ping returned in time. But he had no intention of celebrating this battle at all.

With so many people dying, what's there to celebrate?

After settling the post-war affairs, Xie Jinshui visited the foreign aid forces that had come to reinforce Longjiang, thanking them one by one with utmost sincerity.

The help from these external forces was invaluable; without them, it's hard to say whether Longjiang could have withstood the beast tide.

Although the biggest threat was driven away by Su Ping, the remaining beast tide was not to be underestimated. It was only with their help that they were able to hold it off.

Among these external support forces, some have already quietly left.

Longjiang was saved, and they achieved their purpose in coming here, so they didn't stay any longer.

The remaining forces also left one after another after meeting with Xie Jinshui.

Now that Longjiang has been secured, they have no reason or need to stay here any longer.

Xie Jinshui opened the treasury and took out most of the municipal government's savings accumulated over the years, giving them to the forces that came to provide assistance. Among them were many precious treasures, rare fruits, and rare pet eggs.

After thanking these external forces, Xie Jinshui immediately went to Xiao Taoqi's shop.

The greatest contributor was Su Ping.

Without Su Ping, no matter how many of them sacrificed, Longjiang would have been finished.

No one can stop the other shore. A single realm can crush a person, let alone the realm of the other shore, which is more than one realm higher than theirs.

Xie Jinshui was quite worried about Su Ping's previous situation. When he arrived at Su Ping's shop, he immediately found that there were already many familiar faces there.

There is the extremely famous Sword Master, and also the equally famous Resurrection Master Wu Guansheng.

Xie Jinshui recalled that when they first came to Longjiang, they followed Old Man Yuan, but it seemed that Su Ping had kept them there.

Upon seeing Wu Guansheng, Xie Jinshui quickly asked, "How is Boss Su? Is he awake?"

Wu Guansheng shook his head slightly and said, "He hasn't woken up yet. Boss Su's condition is a bit... a bit strange. All the blood in his body has been drained, and some has only just started to grow in his bone marrow. I used the Great Sage Blood-Stabilizing Technique to help him generate some blood, and his condition is currently stable. Logically, he should be awake by now, but Boss Su's consciousness also seems to be severely depleted, and he is still unconscious."

"Has all the blood in your body been drained?"

Xie Jinshui was stunned.

Thinking of how pale Su Ping's face had been, as white as a sheet of paper, I was immediately shocked and incredulous. How could someone survive without blood in their body?

An ordinary person would definitely not be able to survive, not even a battle pet master. It is a miracle that Su Ping survived.

"Boss Su..."

Xie Jinshui clenched his fists slightly, speechless. Su Ping had gone to such lengths to fight against the other side, and he didn't know what to say.

As the mayor of Longjiang, he should have protected Longjiang, but he did not help at all.

Thinking that he had even failed to ask Fengta for help, Xie Jinshui felt utterly defeated, utterly useless, and like a complete waste.

He was filled with remorse, self-blame, and pain.

"Does that sir have a solution?" Xie Jinshui suddenly thought of the legendary figure in Su Ping's shop. He immediately looked up and soon saw Joanna leaning against the door of the pet room. This girl with an unparalleled face was like a goddess, her expression so indifferent that she was hard to approach.

Upon hearing Xie Jinshui's words, everyone else looked at Joanna.

When Su Ping was first brought back, it was this girl who took him and wouldn't let anyone get close. Only after Wu Guansheng persuaded him and showed some of his healing abilities did he finally allow Wu Guansheng to get closer and take a look.

"He won't die now, he's just too exhausted, you don't need to worry about anything," Joanna said coldly.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Joanna's words.

"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright." Xie Jinshui breathed a sigh of relief, his face ashen and defeated. He said, "It's all my fault, I'm so incompetent. If I could have invited a legendary figure to help, Boss Su wouldn't be all alone. At least a legendary figure could have assisted him in fighting against the Other Shore."

Upon hearing his words, Qin Duhuang fell silent in the crowd.

He had just broken through to become a Legend, and was currently the only Legend among this group besides Joanna. However, he didn't play a significant role, instead leaving monsters like the Other Shore to be dealt with by someone like Su Ping, who wasn't even a Legend.

"If there's nothing else, you can all leave now. You can't be of much help here," Joanna said to the group, effectively dismissing them.

Hearing her direct words, everyone's faces twitched slightly, their sense of defeat intensified, and they gradually took their leave.

……

In the pet room, in the boarding area.

Su Ping's body lay inside, nourished by spiritual energy. His eyes were closed, and he remained motionless.

"With such severe injuries, is the entity behind you still not planning to show itself?" After dismissing everyone, Joanna sat in the pet room, looking at Su Ping in the foster care position, her eyes flickering slightly.

She could tell that Su Ping's injuries were caused by a secret technique, and knowing about Su Ping's skeleton creature, she had already guessed a few things.

Rumor has it that the Skeleton King clan possesses the divine skill of covering their bodies with white bones. The little skeleton, which was previously awakening, has now returned and has been revived.

The aura emanating from him was clearly beyond the King level, reaching the Starry Sky level, indicating that his bloodline had been fully awakened and he had become the Skeleton King bloodline.

"You little thing, you almost killed your master." Joanna said irritably, looking at the broken little skeleton in another foster care spot.

The little skeleton lying quietly inside had two red lights appearing in its eye sockets. It glanced at her and its upper and lower jaws moved slightly.

Joanna raised an eyebrow: "You dare to argue back? If you hadn't been so indulgent with your master, he wouldn't have overdrawn himself to this extent and almost died. It's only because he has a good physical foundation, seemingly some kind of lost ancient divine body, that he would have been dead long ago."

When the little skeleton heard her say that, its mouth stopped moving, and the red light in its eye sockets disappeared.

Joanna gave a soft snort and ignored it.

"This guy is really reckless. With such a powerful backer, he still works so hard. He should just stay put and cultivate steadily. He would definitely become a star in the future, and might even become a god. He's so stupid." Joanna looked at the unconscious Su Ping and muttered to herself in annoyance.

……

in the dark.

Su Ping felt as if he had just woken from a long nightmare.

He dreamt that the Hellfire Candle Dragon Beast died before his eyes. Besides the Hellfire Candle Dragon Beast, the Little Skeleton, the Dark Dragon Hound, and the Purple-Green Python were all killed.

despair.

Frightened!

"don't want!!"

Su Ping couldn't help but roar. The next moment, his eyes suddenly opened, and he sat up abruptly. Light shone into his eyelids, and his vision returned.

Immediately following was a dull, sharp pain that spread throughout my body.

Su Ping looked around and immediately realized that he was in a foster care space.

So he's already in the store.

Su Ping paused for a moment, his pupils suddenly contracted, and disregarding the excruciating pain all over his body, he quickly rushed out of the foster care space.

"Um?"

Joanna, who was meditating and tending to Su Ping in another foster care spot, was immediately startled by Su Ping's movement. She stepped out of her foster care spot and said, "You're awake. Where are you going?"

"I'm unconscious? How long have I been unconscious?" Su Ping asked hurriedly.

"He's been unconscious for two days."

Joanna said, frowning as she saw his urgency, "You need to rest properly in your current condition; you almost died before."

Two days!

Su Ping was shocked, feeling both relieved and terrified. Thank goodness it was only two days; if it had been another day, he probably would have hated himself.

He immediately reached for his communicator to contact Xie Jinshui, but found that the communicator was no longer on his wrist, and his clothes seemed to have been changed as well.

Su Ping was slightly taken aback, and quickly asked, "Where's my communicator?"

Joanna raised an eyebrow, a faint blush crossing her cheeks, and said indifferently, "In the storage compartment."

Su Ping didn't notice much, but upon hearing this, he quickly ran to the storage compartment in the store and found his communicator inside.

He immediately dialed Xie Jinshui's number, and after a few beeps, the call connected.

"Mayor, this is Su Ping. Do you have time now? Let's go to the Peak Tower right now!" Su Ping said eagerly.

"Boss Su, you're awake?" Xie Jinshui was pleasantly surprised. Hearing Su Ping's anxious voice, he didn't hesitate and nodded, "Okay, I'll be right there."

After the communication ended, Xie Jinshui immediately handed over all the matters at hand to his secretary. Two days had passed since the beast tide receded, and there was no jubilation in Longjiang, only a gloomy atmosphere. White slips of paper were everywhere, mourning the fallen heroes.

In the past two days, the ordinary survivors in Longjiang have also spontaneously expressed their condolences for the heroes on various social media platforms.

Settling these post-war matters was extremely busy, but Xie Jinshui did not hesitate to accompany Su Ping to the Peak Tower first.

After hanging up the call, Su Ping sat restlessly in the store. He checked the dragon soul of the Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast in the summoning space and saw that it was still pale gold and could be maintained, which made him a little less anxious.

"Teacher, are you going to the Peak Tower?"

Zhong Lingtong, who was inside the shop, was overjoyed to see Su Ping awaken. However, she was astonished when she heard Su Ping's words.

Although she wasn't a battle pet master, she had heard of the Peak Tower, a top-tier place where legends gathered. Where was Su Ping going?

Tang Ruyan had also heard about the Peak Tower and was equally stunned. She hadn't expected that Su Ping would go to the Peak Tower so soon after waking up.

Seeing that they were still inside the store, Su Ping breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "How's Longjiang these past two days? Has the beast tide completely receded?"

"They've retreated." Tang Ruyan nodded and briefly explained the situation of the beast tide to Su Ping.

After listening to Tang Ruyan's words, Su Ping also fell silent. Although the beast tide had receded, the casualties caused could not be erased or undoed.

Thinking of the Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast, Su Ping's mood darkened further. He knew all too well the pain of losing someone you cherish.

Not long after Su Ping and the others arrived, Xie Jinshui arrived at Su Ping's shop.

"Boss Su, shall we set off now?" Xie Jinshui glanced at Su Ping as soon as he arrived and noticed that his complexion had regained some color, which put him at ease.

Su Ping nodded immediately. "At the fastest speed, how long will it take to get to the tower?"

"Half a day," Xie Jinshui replied immediately, noticing Su Ping's urgency.

Su Ping sensed the urgency of the situation and immediately said, "Then let's go now."

Just then, another figure entered through the door—it was Qin Duhuang.

"You're going to the Peak Tower? It's on the way, I'll go too," Qin Duhuang said.

Su Ping looked at him in confusion, but Xie Jinshui suddenly realized and said, "Right, you should go too. You've just become a legend, you should report to the Peak Tower. Otherwise, if they come to urge you, they'll say you're not good enough."

Qin Duhuang nodded slightly.

To become a legend, one must report to the summit; this has been a long-standing tradition.
