Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 62 Cry for Help

"Walk."

Li Ying led the way, and the others followed behind him, keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings.

The mountain road near the giant peak is rugged and uneven, full of potholes. Some are footprints left by giant beasts, and some are craters caused by battles between star pets and monsters. The craters are not filled with rainwater, but with thick, black blood that has bred germs and emits a foul stench.

Even seasoned veterans like Fan Ganglie frowned at the pungent odor.

Su Ping had the little skeleton stand guard beside him to guard against any sudden attacks.

"This is……"

After walking for a short while, Li Ying, who was ahead, suddenly stopped. His gaze was fixed on a crack in a brown rock with a surface like sand grains, where a hand was hanging down, with a black metal wristband covering the wrist.

Fan Ganglie's expression changed slightly. With a thought, he signaled the Multi-Eared Monkey to examine the hand. The Multi-Eared Monkey leaped a few times and arrived in front of the hand, taking it out—it was a severed arm. Fan Ganglie held the arm the Multi-Eared Monkey returned, examining it for a while. His expression turned grim. "It's from another team. This is a Black Cloud Gold Bracer. Anyone who can afford such a fine bracer is definitely not weak..."

Lin Mokong, Fan Yujing, and the others also recognized the wristband, and their expressions changed. The owner of this wristband was likely a high-level pet master or a relatively wealthy sixth-tier pet master. The fact that he had perished here showed that he must have encountered extremely terrible danger and did not even have a chance to escape.

Upon seeing the broken part of the arm, Su Ping had an idea and said, "Let me see."

Fan Ganglie was slightly taken aback and puzzled, but he still handed the severed hand to Su Ping.

"You don't even recognize this wristband." Lin Mokong said with a slight sneer as he saw Su Ping pretending to examine his arm.

Su Ping picked up the severed hand, examined the fracture site carefully, his pupils contracted slightly, but he quickly recovered. He continued to examine the degree of hardening of the arm and the wrist guard that was not badly damaged, and after fiddling with it for a while, he returned it to Fan Ganglie.

"Did you find anything?" Fan Ganglie asked. He valued Su Ping's opinion, since Su Ping had noticed the danger they hadn't. Moreover, he had noticed that Su Ping seemed oblivious to the harsh environment around him. Such behavior would be normal for a seasoned pioneer, but it was very strange for a newcomer like Su Ping who had never pioneered before!

However, everyone has secrets, and he couldn't very well ask or explore them, lest he offend them and cause them to become enemies.

"It's nothing," Su Ping said calmly.

Lin Mokong, who was standing next to him, immediately sneered.

Su Ping glanced at him sideways, then suddenly raised his hand.

Snapped!

A crisp slap suddenly rang out.

Fan Ganglie, Fan Yujing, and Li Ying were all stunned, but Lin Mokong was the most shocked. Feeling the burning pain on his face, he could hardly believe it!

He actually got slapped! As a high-level battle pet master, his status was incredibly prestigious. He was even the captain of a second-rate team like Fan Ganglie's, yet now he'd been slapped in the face by some nobody?!

After a moment of stunned silence, he snapped back to reality, his eyes turning bloodshot. He drew his sword with lightning speed, shouting, "You brat, I'm going to kill you!!"

Fan Ganglie and the other two realized what was happening and quickly grabbed his hand. Fan Ganglie hurriedly pleaded, "Brother Lin, Brother Lin, let's talk this out. Don't draw your swords yet. It's too dangerous here. If we start fighting each other, I'm afraid none of us will survive!"

Lin Mokong was furious. He had been slapped, and now he was expected to say something?

He tried desperately to draw his sword, but Fan Ganglie held his hand firmly, and he was unable to pull it out for a moment. This surprised him again. He did not expect Fan Ganglie to be so powerful. Although they were both at the seventh level, the other party was stronger than him!

Li Ying and Fan Yujing were also quite frightened and quickly tried to break up the fight, standing in front of Su Ping and Lin Mokong, fearing that they would start fighting.

"Brother Su, let's talk this out. Why are you hitting me?" Fan Yujing looked at Su Ping, who had a calm expression, and was a little anxious. The other party was a high-level battle pet master, someone he couldn't afford to offend.

"Yes!" Li Ying, who was standing next to him, was also shocked. He never expected that Su Ping, who looked like a student with fair skin and tender flesh, would have such a fiery temper. He would hit people without warning, and the person he hit was a high-level battle pet master, someone that even they had to flatter and coax.

"He brought it on himself."

Su Ping said calmly that although the surrounding environment was dangerous, infighting within the team was not conducive to survival, and he would be vulnerable to underhanded tactics, the other party clearly had a strong prejudice against him. If there was an opportunity to trick him, they would not miss it. Since that was the case, there was no need to worry about anything.

Moreover, he knew that even if he made a move, the fight wouldn't break out. Fan Ganglie and the others would inevitably try to distract him. Furthermore, even if a fight did break out, he wasn't afraid. He could conveniently eliminate this person to prevent any future trouble.

The easiest thing to do is to nip any potential threat in the bud as soon as possible.

"Uh." Fan Yujing and Li Ying were both stunned when they heard Su Ping's words. It was indeed Lin Mokong who mocked him first, but just because of that, he dared to hit him. He was too bold. Wasn't he afraid of making a deadly enemy?

"You!!" Lin Mo was so angry that his blood vessels were about to burst. He tried to pull out the knife, but Fan Ganglie's hand held it down like an iron clamp, and he couldn't pull it out.

"Brother Lin, Brother Su was in the wrong. I'll apologize on his behalf. Let's finish the mission first, okay?" Fan Ganglie pleaded earnestly.

Lin Mokong glared at him angrily, gritting his teeth. He knew that Fan Ganglie would never let him actually fight Su Ping here, otherwise they would all die if they attracted any monsters.

Perhaps the other party had calculated this point, which is why they dared to attack him. In other words, he took the slap for nothing!

"Damn it, they all deserve to die! Even tearing them to pieces wouldn't be enough to quell my rage!!" Lin Mokong roared inwardly, filled with rage. He gripped the hilt of his knife tightly, enduring the pain for a while before slowly loosening his grip.

He gave Su Ping a cold look, then turned around and said, "I'll remember this grudge. We'll settle it when we get back to base!" He said he would settle it when they got back to base, but he did it on purpose to give Su Ping a false impression that he wouldn't cause any trouble in this operation.

Seeing that Lin Mokong had restrained himself, Fan Ganglie breathed a sigh of relief and said to Su Ping, "Brother Su, don't be impulsive anymore, or I won't help you anymore."

Seeing his serious expression, Su Ping smiled slightly, "Let's go."

Fan Ganglie was somewhat exasperated by Su Ping's nonchalant attitude and could only say, "Let's set off. Let's finish the mission as soon as possible and get back!"

Li Ying and Fan Yujing exchanged a glance and both breathed a sigh of relief. Li Ying continued to lead the way, and before long, they saw more corpses and limbs on the ground, belonging to other pioneering teams.

Judging from the number of these remains, there were three or four people who were injured, including a head crawling with tiny insects that had been gnawed beyond recognition.

Be careful.

The bodies served as a wake-up call for Fan Ganglie and the others, putting them on high alert.

call out!

Suddenly, a colorful smoke signal flew out from the dense forest on a slope ahead.

"It's a distress signal!" Fan Ganglie's expression changed upon seeing it, and he immediately set off, saying, "Go quickly!"
