Astral Pet Store

Chapter 635 Global Chaos

“I don’t know. I’ve been in the pet room all this time. You didn’t ask me to run the store so I couldn’t open the door. But I did hear something. I think the base city is in trouble,” Joanna stated.

Su Ping’s heart skipped a beat.

He was in a rush, so he had not authorized Joanna to operate the store when he left. The store had been closed while he was away.

He thought he was just leaving for a few days, but the fact was that half a month had already passed.

“I’ll go and have a look,” Su Ping said. The matter about the Solar Bulwark was not a priority. He hurried to the storefront and opened the door.

Light shone into the store. But something was different! The first thing he saw was a row of buildings across the street. The Qin family and the other four major families had bought the buildings and they had plugged their family flags on them.

But what caught Su Pings eye was a large number of titled warriors right across the street. They were armed to the teeth and covered in blood! The blood was still fresh!

Su Ping was worried. He went out of the store at once.

As he opened the door, those standing in front of the Qin family’s property were startled. The titled battle pet warriors gathered around the Mu family and the Liu family also turned, clearly surprised.

They were overjoyed to see Su Ping!

“Mr. Su!”

“Mr. Su!”

“Mr. Su, you’re here! I’m so glad!”

The titled battle pet warriors were thrilled. They were from the five major families and they lived in Longjiang Base City. Naturally, they had witnessed Su Ping’s development.

They held the young man in high regard.

“What is going on?” Su Ping blurted out the question.

Whoosh! From the Qin family’s building came out a man who rushed to meet him. It was Qin Shuhai.

man

He stared at Su Ping, a little reserved. He had been the superior titled battle pet warrior when he first met Su Ping in the Mysterious Realm, but as time passed and had chance encounters, he realized he was no longer superior.

“Mr. Su, finally. We thought you were away.” Qin Shuhai sounded worked up.

Su Ping frowned. “I heard something is amiss. Have the wild beasts come back again?”

Qin Shuhai nodded and then shook his head. “Yes, the wild beasts are coming, but Longjiang is not the only one base city under attack. Other base cities have become victims to the wild beasts. Thirteen base cities of our Subcontinent District have fallen in the past two weeks!”

“What?!”

Su Ping narrowed his eyes.

An average base city could have a population of 10 million and the Class A base cities were even larger and more prosperous, able to house a population of a hundred million!

One base city falling would result in great casualties, not to mention that more than a dozen base cities had been destroyed thus far!

“What is going on?” Su Ping had to know.

Qin Shuhai said quickly, “Soon after you returned last time, wild beasts began to strike around the globe! Large scale strikes!

“No one was able to tell where the wild beasts were from but their numbers were great. They were everywhere when they attacked the base cities. Many were caught off guard and were soon routed. “A lot of the wild beasts are beast kings. It is as if all the beasts around the world were gathering!” Su Ping could not believe that.

Wild beasts around the globe?

He thought of something. He thought of what he had seen when he exited the Deep Caves:

Beasts were waiting quietly in the wilderness.

The wild beasts were of different kinds but they were peacefully clustered together.

They were like... well-trained soldiers!

Su Ping felt his blood freeze. That was not a good feeling. “So, you say this is a global strike. Have you heard anything from the Deep Caves?”

Qin Shuhai was surprised. “How did you know about that? Yes, we’ve heard that the wild beasts escaped from the Deep Caves. The Tower was informed but they didn’t verify anything, so we couldn’t confirm the facts, at all. We’re still speculating at this point, but I think it’s most likely that the wild beasts are indeed from the Deep Caves!”

Only then did Su Ping think of the Tower. “What is the Tower doing about this?”

“The Tower has sent legendary battle pet warriors to the base cities so they could lend a hand during the beast strikes!” Qin Shuhai said.

“The Longjiang Base City is doing better than the other base cities. Wild beats were coming this way, but they actually didn’t strike us. The Tower didn’t send any legendary battle pet warriors over. However, my father is at the legendary rank and he can help, plus, you are also here, Mr. Su.”

Su Ping frowned. “Why didn’t the Tower send a legendary battle pet warrior to this base city?”

He suddenly knew the answer before Qin Shuhai replied. Qin Shuhai shook his head. “I don’t know. I heard from my dad that the Tower didn’t want to waste manpower since you’re here.”

Su Ping nodded and could not disagree.

Whether the Tower didn’t want to waste manpower or was doing it on purpose, it was not a matter to consider at the present moment. They were currently at war, and the entire human race was involved. It was a battle between two races vying for the Blue Planet. Personal grudges had to be left out!

“What are you doing?” Su Ping asked about the gathering of titled rank battle pet warriors.

Qin Shuhai answered, “Well, here’s the thing. We have been discussing. Many base cities are suffering and many people have managed to escape from those base cities. There are two base cities close to our Longjiang Base City and we have been conducting trades with them. We’re going to help the refugees from the two base cities so they can settle down in Longjiang “Apart from helping the refugees, there’s another base city by the border of Longjiang that is going to be struck by wild beasts. We’re discussing how many people we should send to help them. After all, Longjiang can protect itself at the moment. We should do our best to help others.”

Su Ping nodded. “Okay, good. Please do. I have something else to attend to.”

“Of course.”

Su Ping nodded. Su Ping’s mere presence had given everyone confidence. He didn’t have to say or do a thing

Given that Su Ping was there, the five major families were able to decide on whether they should assist other base cities.

Longjiang had Su Ping and that was good enough.

If he couldn’t safeguard the base city, no one else could. They might just as well try to help others.

Su Ping didn’t linger; he went straight back home.

His family lived inside the safety zone of the store, which was to his great relief. Even if he were away and could not take care of them, no one could get hurt as long as they were still there.

Ever since his trip to the Golden Crows’ star, Su Ping had more confidence in the system than ever before. None of the wild beasts in the entire world could step into the store’s territory!

The store was the safest place on the Blue Planet!

Qin Shuhai went back to the Qin family territory after Su Ping left.

The other titled battle pet warriors said their hellos to Su Ping across the street, regardless of whether he could see them or not.

They admired Su Ping!

Su Ping’s outstanding combat strength alone was enough to awe them, not to mention the fact that Su Ping had saved the Longjiang Base City from the Otherworld Heavenly King!

Soon, Su Ping went back home.

“Dad, mom!”

Su Ping saw his parents sitting in the living room with Zhong Lingtong, but there was no sign of Su Lingyue.

He could not sense her presence on the street.

“Where is Su Lingyue?” Su Ping asked. “You’re back!”

Li Qingru and Su Yuanshan were surprised by Su Ping’s return. They put down what they were doing and approached him.

Zhong Lington screamed in delight and jumped off from her chair to run toward Su

Ping.

“Finally, we get to see you. Did you stay in your store all this time? We knocked on the door. Didn’t you hear that?” Su Yuanshan asked Su Ping.

Li Qingru gazed at Su Ping with a reproaching look. Su Ping was in the store but he had not gone out in a while. They weren’t happy about it, especially after they had gone to find him several times.

“I was cultivating and got a little carried away.” Su Ping had become more than skilled when it came to lying. “Where’s my sister?” he asked again.

“Sir.” Zhong Lingtong skipped over to Su Ping. “Sir, your sister went to the border of the base city. She said she wanted to see the situation over there,” Zhong Lingtong answered.

“Nonsense. What can she do there?” Su Ping was angry.

“And where is Tang? She hasn’t come back

yet?!”

He had asked Tang Ruyan to help sort out Li Yuanfeng’s family business, but that had been half a month prior. She should have returned by then.

“Sister Tang went out with your sister. You don’t have to worry about Lingyue, sir, while Sister Tang is with her,” Zhong Lingtong said with a smiling face.

Su Ping glared at her. “They aren’t that different in rank. I don’t have to worry? Neither will come back if they get into trouble!”

Zhong Lingtong stuck her tongue out. “Sister Tang is good.”

Su Ping snorted but said nothing else.

From Qin Shuhai’s update, Su Ping learned that the Longjiang Base City was quite safe for the moment. Qin Duhuang, the sly fox, was in charge. Tang Ruyan was something like a Fate Challenger and she could deal with any of the average beast kings. She would be safe as long as she didn’t run into Void State beast kings.

“I’m glad you’re safe and sound. Mom, dad, whatever happens, remember this: the wild beasts can come, but you’ll be absolutely safe as long as you stay at home,” Su Ping said to his parents.

“Listen to you. There would be nowhere else to go to if the beasts do come here. Don’t say things like that,” Li Qingru reproached.
