Chapter 598 Brother?

Whoosh!

Su Ping went over to pick up the silver scale and went back to the place they were hiding.

The scale was glistening; he was able to feel that trace of dragon’s presence. “It looks like the Moonfrost Dragon’s scales but different somehow...”

Su Ping wore a grave expression. It was both good and bad to find the scale there.

The good part was that he had finally discovered traces of Su Lingyue; the bad thing was that he had discovered the clues in the Deep Caves.

Had Su Lingyue entered the Corridor from the Flames Field?

If that was the case, Su Ping would have to let go of the last trace of hope he had.

He could find beast kings everywhere in the Corridor. Living there for a week would be dangerous even for him, let alone Su Lingyue.

“What’s the matter?”

Li Yuanfeng noticed what Su Ping was holding. “Does the scale have anything to do with your sister?”

“The scale is from my sister’s battle pet.”

Li Yuanfeng turned pale. “That is unlikely. Your sister would have had to go through the Flames Field and there are legendary battle pet warriors there; they would have stopped her if they had seen her. There’s also the time when our captain reached out to them; they told him specifically that they didn’t see your sister. It’s impossible for her to be here!”

Su Ping didn’t disagree with him. Li Yuanfeng was right.

However... That piece of scale was proof!

He wasn’t wrong about the scale!

Or, was it because that beast in the Flames Field had carried the scale over?

Su Ping thought about that beast. He stood up after a moment’s hesitation. “I’m going to catch that beast king to ask some questions.”

Li Yuanfeng spent one second thinking about it and agreed.

He, too, was curious. The past three days together told Li Yuanfeng that Su Ping was a man of caution; he was even more seasoned when it came to cloaking techniques.

It was unlikely for the young man to misjudge a scale.

The entire thing was strange.

“That beast king is merely at the Ocean State; let’s get this over with,” Li Yuanfeng said to Su Ping.

Su Ping nodded.

They hid themselves when that beast king moved closer, not because they were afraid of it, but because they wanted to conserve their strength by avoiding unnecessary fights, and to make sure that they wouldn’t alert more beast kings. Whoosh! Whoosh!

They found their way forward in stealth mode.

They had quickly caught up with the beast.

Their teamwork was quite good; they approached the beast from both flanks and struck it abruptly.

It was unfortunate for the beast king since its realm was at the Ocean State; Li Yuanfeng alone could have subdued it and Su Ping was also present. The two had knocked it out before the beast king realized what was going on.

Su Ping took out his scroll and stuffed the beast king in.

Li Yuanfeng was surprised to see that Su Ping had such an amazing interspatial artifact.

Su Ping left the Little Skeleton outside, gave the scroll to Li Yuanfeng and got into the scroll himself.

“Is that... a beast king?!”

Yan Bingyue was still inside the scroll and she had lost all sense of time. She would either sleep or cultivate. The sudden appearance of the beast had startled her.

Her face was contorted by fear when she found out that the creature was a beast king.

Beast king!

A living and breathing beast king just collapsed in front of me!

She had seen beasts at the peak of the ninth-rank and they were nothing compared to a beast king. Just a breath from the beast king had suffocated her.

Whoosh!

Su Ping came down and stood on the beast king.

Yan Bingyue came back to her senses. She bit her teeth in hatred; that was the guy who had kept her there.

“Is this your battle pet?” Yan Bingyue asked.

Su Ping darted her a glance but didn’t reply. He made an awl with his astral powers and poked the beast king’s head.

The pain woke the beast king up.

Roar!

The beast king bellowed and glared at Su Ping, ready to strike.

Su Ping opened his swirl and the Inferno Dragon came out, looking down at the beast king from a height.

The beast king stopped venting its anger, as it had been intimidated by the Inferno Dragon.

Dragons were the kings of all beasts and that held true even among beast kings. While being at the same rank and state, dragons and demon pets were still considered the most powerful.

The Inferno Dragon had become even more terrifying once he obtained the bloodline of the purple-blood dragons; deterring the usual beast kings had become a walk in the park.

Yan Bingyue widened her eyes.

She had seen that battle pet but it looked too different!

The disparity in appearance was not the only thing she noticed; she also felt that intimidating presence The beast king alone had made it difficult for her to breathe; the Inferno Dragon had almost forced her heart to stop beating!

What is it about this dragon that made it so terrifying?

Has such a long time gone by in the outside world?

Since when did this guy’s battle pets become so powerful!

Once he gained control of the beast king, Su Ping took out the silver scale and started the questioning

The beast king behaved thanks to the pressure imposed by the Inferno Dragon’s gaze. The rule of the jungle determined that the beast king would not dare to disobey the Inferno Dragon; the latter would devour it if otherwise.

Soon, Su Ping found out that the beast king knew nothing of the silver scale and had never left the Corridor.

Su Ping was baffled. Is Su Lingyue really here? A moment later, Su Ping told the Inferno Dragon to return to the contract space, then killed the beast king before he left. The beast king could destroy the world inside the scroll if he wasn’t around, and he had no other interspatial artifact to put the beast king away. If the creature got out, it could run away and tip other beast kings off.

Su Ping killed the beast king easily, which stunned Yan Bingyue. She grabbed the chance and asked before he left, “When will you let me

out?”

Su Ping didn’t even look at her, lest speak to her, before he went away.

Yan Bingyue bit her lip and stomped her feet.

Su Ping put away the scroll. “How was it?”

“The beast king never left the Corridor.”

Su Ping asked, “Brother Li, are you sure that the entrances to the Corridor are guarded by the legendary battle pet warriors? Are there any other points of entry?”.

“No, there aren’t.” Li Yuanfeng shook his head. “The entire Deep Caves are, in fact, a huge and mysterious formation that is said to have been formed in the ancient times. Apart from the available pathways, the other places are strongly fortified, unless the legendary battle pet warriors in the Flames Field have neglected their duties, or they... weren’t there.

“But our captain contacted them not so long ago. If your sister were here, then the only explanation would be that the legendary battle pet warriors posted there have neglected their duties!”

Su Ping nodded. He didn’t get to meet the legendary battle pet warriors in the Flames Field and could not say for sure if they had neglected their duties or not.

“Let’s have a look around. We haven’t found our way to the Flames Field anyway. She cannot be far away from us if she is here,” Su Ping said.

Li Yuanfeng nodded.

He went there as a guide, but then lost his way in less than half a day. They had encountered serious troubles during the past three days; it was a good thing that Su Ping was even more able than he had imagined. They were able to solve the problems together. They could have already died there.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two of them went back to where they found the silver scale and carefully searched along the pathway.

Soon, he found two more silver scales.

Su Ping didn’t know how to describe his feelings. He was excited and afraid at the same time.

Sometimes they would end up in a dead end, while sometimes they would run into lairs where beast kings were soundly asleep.

Su Ping found more silver scales after half a day had passed.

They reached a dark and smelly den. Su Ping and Li Yuanfeng were fumbling around when they heard a feeble voice.

“Brother?”

That voice was barely audible but the absolute silence made it clear. Li Yuanfeng and Su Ping were startled.

Su Ping recognized the voice. He could not believe it.

He looked over; he found a girl gradually showing herself, next to the dark wall.

It was Su Lingyue!

Su Ping could not believe it, but soon discarded all his doubts and questions. He was seized with joy.

He had found her!

She was still alive!

Su Ping rushed to her and wrapped his arms around her.

Li Yuanfeng was still in a daze. Of course he could tell that the girl was his sister, but he didn’t think that they would find her there, and alive. How amazing!

He had found out that Su Ping’s sister was merely at the sixth or seventh rank, based on his previous chats with Su Ping. It was already unbelievable that she could enter the Deep Caves, not to mention the Corridor. Li Yuanfeng was almost convinced the girl had died. What a miracle!

Watching the siblings’ reunion had brought a smile to Li Yuanfeng’s face.

Su Ping ended the hug and regained his calmness. He saw that Su Lingyue looked weird; he let go of her arms and sized her up and down. She was covered in silver dragon scales and the paleness indicated that she was weak. Her pupils had turned golden. “What is this?” Su Ping asked. Had she merged with her battle pet? But Su Lingyue was not at the legendary rank! He had not reached the legendary rank yet!

“What, what are you doing here?” Su Lingyue thought of something; she seemed embarrassed and nervous. She took a look around and unleashed some astral powers to envelop Su Ping and Li Yuanfeng. The silvery glow that fell over them hid their presence. They were almost invisible.
