Chapter 173: Rare Treasure

Chapter 173 Rare Treasure

The Soaring Vipers could not inflict any harm on the Dark Dragon Hound since it was protecting itself with several layers of defensive screens. On the other hand, during the battle, the Soaring Vipers had been bitten by the Dark Dragon Hound. To make it worse, this low and degrading dog had such sharp claws that they could tear into the Soaring Viper’s scales!

The dog’s claws were not only covered with dark flames, but also a potent poison!!

The poison was so powerful that those Soaring Vipers—which were considered experts in using venoms—were unable to handle it. Soon, the Soaring Vipers swelled up and their combat abilities went down!

This was…

Soaring Vipers were advanced beasts that had a simple-level of intelligence. They had never met such a strange beast.

The Dark Dragon Hound had claws and fangs so it should be a beast proficient in close-quarter combat.

However, this guy had used three protective layers on itself, and they were made with three different elements!

As if that wasn’t enough, this dog had poison on its paws!

What the hell?

The Soaring Vipers felt very upset and frustrated.

The Dark Dragon Hound gladly bounced here and there among the Soaring Vipers.

As the Fallen Priest joined the fight, some Soaring Vipers that were attacking the Dark Dragon Hound shifted their focus to the Fallen Priest. Soon, two of the Soaring Vipers had been killed by the golden rod wielded by the Fallen Priest.

The two Soaring Vipers had their heads crushed by the golden rod. The earth shook as they fell to the ground.

The Fallen Priest was a ninth-rank pet with agile movements. Soon, it dashed into the crowd of Soaring Vipers. It was fierce and ferocious. Several Soaring Vipers perished. Their scales and blood was scattered around.

The other Soaring Vipers were scared out of their wits. They slipped away at once. The alpha of the Soaring Vipers was beaten black and blue by the Death Scythe’s huge skeleton reaping hook. As such, the alpha could no longer divert its attention to control its minions to protect itself. It was steadily losing ground. All of a sudden, a tornado sprang up. The alpha was trying to escape. Old Mo would not let that happen. He would be utterly ashamed if a ninth-rank Death Scythe was unable to kill a Soaring Viper at the intermediate position of the eighth rank. The Death Scythe roared. Some dark energy seeped out and enveloped its entire body. The Death Scythe threw itself into the tornado. Then, the tornado began to disperse, expelling a snake that was over thirty meters long. The snake smashed into the ground.

With a bang, a rod landed on the snake. The Fallen Priest just happened to be near this Soaring Viper. The Fallen Priest swung its rod and crushed the head of the Soaring Viper ending its life once and for all.

After the death of their leader, the other Soaring Vipers were no longer courageous enough to continue the fight. They fled to all directions as they uttered shrill cries.

The Fallen Priest and the Death Scythe chased after them. The Dark Dragon Hound noticed that its play dates were leaving, so it went after one of the Soaring Vipers, bit it, and then smashed its head with its dark flames and sharp claws.

The aggressive Soaring Vipers scattered about in all directions. Some had died and some had fled.

When everything quieted down, Chen told his Earthen Dragon to remove the earth shield. Everyone looked around and saw the dead vipers on the ground. Blood was still seeping out from the dead bodies, filling the air with a pungent smell.

Ye Chensha, Zhou Jing, and Guo Linyue were stunned to see this deadly scene. They weren’t afraid of the blood. They just didn’t expect that such a group of heinous beasts would have been defeated so quickly.

Some of the Soaring Vipers escaped but most of them had died there.

If it weren’t for Old Mo and Chen, Team Polaris would have had to pay a great price to defend against those Soaring Vipers.

That young man became the center of attention. The most surprising of all had to be Su Ping’s Dark Dragon Hound. It outperformed the two ninth-rank pets in this battle. The Dark Dragon Hound remained unharmed while being enveloped by so many Soaring Vipers. That was unbelievable!

“No one is hurt. This is a complete victory for us!”

Staring at the dead bodies across the ground, Nie Chengkong smiled. This danger had been resolved easily. He was more confident about their upcoming exploration.

“Mister Su, your Dark Dragon Hound is amazing!” Nie Chengkong said to Su Ping; he was quite surprised by this youth’s performance. The abilities demonstrated by this Dark Dragon Hound were equal to that of the upper position of the eighth-rank and was as good as the skeleton mentioned by Luo Guxue and Ye Chenshan. That was to say, Su Ping had two strong pets; if they were summoned and could work together, the two pets could fight against ninth-ranked opponents! Naturally, Nie Chengkong would be glad that another person with such strength was on their team, in addition to the three master battle pet warriors.

“It’s doing okay, just average,” Su Ping said. “Su, you are being too modest. If your Dark Dragon Hound is regarded as average, then all of our pets would be considered below average.” Nie Chengkong laughed.

Su Ping shook his head. You wish, he thought, Your pets are considered poor.

Of course, he couldn’t have said those hurtful words.

“I didn’t know that you were a young hero. Well, well, I believe our trip from here onward will be easier.” Chen smiled. He recognized Su Ping’s abilities with this fight. He realized he had misunderstood him; he thought better of him after this.

Old Mo frowned; he was upset since Chen had become too polite to Su Ping, when the man previously disliked the youth as much as he did. Even though Old Mo had also acknowledged Su Ping’s strength, it didn’t mean that he would treat Su Ping nicely. No matter how powerful Su Ping was, Old Mo didn’t have to cozy up to him as long as he didn’t have to request any favors. Besides, Old Mo had lived enough years to want anything in his life at this point.

“Since the battle is over, this isn’t a place for us to stay. Captain, let’s go.” Old Mo sounded indifferent.

Nie Chengkong nodded. “Let’s go.” The smell of blood would most likely catch the attention of other beasts. They couldn’t stay there for long.

“Mister Su, we’ll have to bother you on the scouting front,” Nie Chengkong said to Su

Ping.

Su Ping didn’t give a definite answer. But since this concerned his own life as well, he would naturally exercise prudence.

Old Mo’s face darkened when he heard Nie Chengkong’s words. That being said, Old Mo didn’t say anything. He just had his pet to brace itself up and work better. He would be humiliated if Su Ping was the first one to detect the next round of danger.

Guo Yuelin and Zhou Jing each assumed their duties. They checked the surroundings quite carefully.

Luo Guxue took a look at the dead bodies and asked, “Do we need to harvest the materials on the Soaring Vipers?”

Her question reminded the others. Nie Chengkong thought about it. “Just take their energy crystal and scales. Don’t mind the rest.”

Luo Guxue nodded and harvested those materials with Ye Chenshan.

Su Ping noticed that his Dark Dragon Hound was eating something from the alpha’s body. He told it to return.

The Dark Dragon Hound was dining with keen pleasure. It came back at Su Ping’s command reluctantly. But before it went back, the Dark Dragon Hound used its mouth to pick up its food. It was a string of eggs. Those eggs were still hatching. The snakes had yet to come into being. Those eggs, or masses of flesh, were linked by something like an umbilical cord. The Dark Dragon Hound had carried them over to Su Ping. Su Ping raised his eyebrows. Against his expectation, this alpha Soaring Viper was a female and was laying eggs. Those eggs contained essential life energy. No wonder his dog liked them so much.

Su Ping didn’t stop his dog and told it to eat them up quickly. Having gained permission from Su Ping, the Dark Dragon Hound roared happily and wolfed down the eggs.

The others noticed the eggs the Dark Dragon Hound had dragged back. They all knew that the value of those eggs was the same as the energy crystals inside the Soaring Vipers. Those eggs were very nutritious for all the beasts. On the black market, those eggs could be sold at four or five million.

The Dark Dragon Hound gobbled down its food. The others could not help but feel jealous.

But they didn’t have the guts to ask Su Ping to share them. They just regretted that their pets had failed to find this.

Nie Chengkong felt sorry as well. His Fallen Priest had delivered the killing blow to that alpha Soaring Viper. However, he ended up missing those eggs. He was too focused on killing those vipers to think about the loot. “You are quite lucky.” Old Mo grinned coldly.

This alpha Soaring Viperhad been defeated by his pet but the valuables ended up in Su Ping’s hand. This made Old Mo feel uncomfortable and unhappy.

Su Ping darted him glance but turned a deaf ear. When the Dark Dragon Hound finished its meal, Ye Chenshan and Luo Guxue had finished harvesting the energy crystals inside the Soaring Vipers. The hardest scales were picked as well. Nie Chengkong ordered the team to start off.

They left this area and pressed forward to the southeast side according to the map.

Much of the land they saw along the way was scorched and desolate.

There were the occasional dead tries and dried pools.

This seemed to be a world burned by flames.

They saw no beasts after they traveled for a long distance. It appeared that this area was the Soaring Vipers’ territory. No other beasts seemed to live there.

“That is the location of the first rare treasure!” Nie Chengkong stopped all of a sudden. His eyes were glowing as he started at the front.
