Chapter 92: Nothing Wrong

“Big brother, I don’t have any treasures with me. I just arrived, too.”

The messy-haired youth spoke dejectedly. He had only glanced at Su Bai picking the Flowing Cloud Fruit, but why had he chased him down and tied him up?

“You just came in? Then do you know how to get out?” Su Bai looked at him expressionlessly.

The young man looked surprised. “Oh, it turns out it’s your first time here. Just tell if you wanna ask for directions. Why did you have to tie me up, big brother?”

“Stop talking nonsense, or else I’ll throw you into the Bloodthirsty Spear.” Su Bai glared at the teen in warning. He tied him up in case that he was lying.

“It’s very simple; we can go out once we’ve exhausted the ten blood soul stones. Otherwise, you can go out when you find the spatial door,” said the young man.

“I don’t have a blood soul stone; I only have this scarlet badge. How do I find that spatial door?” Su Bai took out the scarlet badge from his pocket and showed it to him.

The young man was shocked upon seeing it. “What the f*ck, big brother! You’re actually a big boss with this badge. It’s rumored that only talented Pet Tamers can obtain such a badge.

“With this badge, you can enter and exit this Scarlet Monster Wilderness at any time. You’ll probably see the location of the spatial door by wearing the badge. Other than that, I don’t know anything else.”

Su Bai glanced at the boy and did not think that he was lying.

“Is there something special about this Scarlet Monster Wilderness? How is it different from an ordinary monster wilderness?”

He felt like the organization of the Twelve Dragon Slayers was not so kind to open a monster wilderness for him to explore and obtain treasures freely.

“I’m not sure. I only know that there are a lot of blood pets and attack power bonuses in this place. Plus, more treasures can be found here compared to an ordinary monster wilderness, and it’s rumored to have some relics as well.

“I’m a rookie, so I don’t know much. Big brother, just let me go; I swear that I won’t hold a grudge against you.”

“You really don’t know?”

“I really don’t know.”

“Fine. Buddy, bury him.”

“Howl! ヽ( ̄▽ ̄)ノ”

The Little Tyrant dug a big hole with its claw, while the cub dragged the young man into the hole with its vine whip before slowly covering him with soil.

“F*ck! Big brother, I really don’t know…” The young man called Bai Ri panicked when the soil was about to reach his neck. He really did not know anything.

“Alright. Let him go, buddy.”

Su Bai glanced at him and thought that this guy was probably not lying.

“Big brother, I wish you all the best; I really don’t know anything else. I’ll take my leave now.” Bai Ri smiled and quickly ran away with his Flame Dog.

Looking up in the sky, Su Bai took out the green solution given by his master and drank it. He then fished out the scarlet badge from the plastic bag and put it in his hand.

When he placed the badge in his hand, it emitted a scarlet light which formed five door frames of different sizes. It seemed to represent the approximate location of the spatial door near him.

Su Bai looked in the direction he came from and found a spatial door there.

“Guys, let’s go.”

He led them in that direction.

Soon, he noticed an erected stone and some branches lying on the ground nearby. He had specially marked this spot when he first came in.

Looking around, he saw a glowing illusory gate not far away. He had not seen it earlier.

In the next moment, the badge in his hand emitted a scarlet light and hit the glowing illusory gate, which immediately turned into a scarlet-colored door.

Su Bai looked down at the badge in his hand and realized that everything had been set up. As long as he was led into this monster wilderness, he needed to wear the badge in order to get out.

“Come on. Let’s go.”

Su Bai glanced at his pets, opened the door, and broke out in a single step.

The scene instantly changed, and the wilderness immediately transformed into a lively city. Su Bai appeared at the door of the Blood Moon Bar again.

“Where have you been?” Chen Rouxue anxiously stepped forward and took his hand.

The boy had been missing for nearly an hour, and she had been ready to ask his master for help.

If not for the fact that the Spirit Alliance was very strict with bloodline-related things, she would have called the police.

“Let’s go and find a coffee shop first. I’ll tell you what happened slowly.” Su Bai caught his breath and confirmed that his pets were with him. He then led her into a coffee shop.

They found a secluded seat and ordered a cup of coffee. Chen Rouxue asked quickly, “Where did you disappear earlier? We obviously walked into that bar together, but you had disappeared by the time I entered.”

“It’s because you don’t have this badge. There’s a spatial door leading to a special place called the Scarlet Monster Wilderness. It’s very dangerous there, but it has lots of treasures.”

Su Bai leaned over and whispered softly to her. After speaking, he took out his phone and showed her the video clip he had taken.

Chen Rouxue watched the video and looked up in surprise. She was about to say something when she saw him staring blankly at her.

“What are you looking at? Are there flowers on my face?” Chen Rouxue waved her hand in annoyance.

“No, but you have a better-looking face than a flower.” Su Bai returned to his senses. He had actually spaced out while thinking of the blood soul stone.

Chen Rouxue rolled her eyes. “Don’t flirt with me. Hmph!”

“Speaking of which, I really wanna go in and look at this monster wilderness, too.” She held his hand and spoke coquettishly.

“You’ve been quite eye-catching lately. Maybe someone will issue you a scarlet badge, too. If not, I’ll grab ten blood soul stones for you.” Su Bai held her hand and promised. It was not safe for him to explore the monster wilderness alone, either, so he also wanted to bring her along. It would definitely be more interesting to go on an adventure with his girlfriend.

As for their friends, they were too weak to go there, and he could not get that many blood soul stones for them, too.

“Okay, then. I’ll give it my best in the competition tomorrow.” Chen Rouxue nodded.

“Look, this is my harvest inside.” Su Bai showed her his harvest. Other than the three Flowing Cloud Fruit, he had also found some ores.

“This ripple phosphate is for you. The special fluctuations it emits have a beautifying effect.” He handed a purple ore to her, which was the most precious one he had found.

Of course, the most valuable was still the Flowing Cloud Fruit, but she had no use for them. It could only be used to restore Big Demon’s spiritual power.

“Then let’s make a lover’s pendant with it,” said Chen Rouxue happily.

“By the way, did you tell our friends about my disappearance? Don’t tell them about it for now.”

“Of course not. If I did, they would be here now. I saw that Wang Er came out, so I figured that you should be able to as well. If you still didn’t come out after an hour, I planned to seek your master’s help.”

“You’re so clever.”

“Of course.” The girl took a sip of coffee and grinned triumphantly.

“There are more than twenty minutes left till the afternoon match. Let’s not find Yang Zhou and the others; I’ll just message them.” Su Bai yawned after checking the time.

“Then I won’t message them anymore.” Chen Rouxue nodded. She loved spending time with her boyfriend alone and did not really care much about their friends.

After he sent the others a message, Su Bai ignored them.

The couple teased their pets as they flirted, waiting for the time to pass before heading back to the stadium.

The major battle this afternoon was between the two losing teams this morning, Hexi Town and White Stone Town. The winner of it would then compete with Big River Town.

White Stone Town was defeated by Hexi Town; Zhang Yue’s Forest Deer won against the opposing team’s member with a warlord pet without any suspense.

White Stone Town was fifth place in the entire competition, so the following matches had nothing to do with them anymore.

However, according to requirements, they still had to remain in the rest area until the competition’s end.

This afternoon’s match between Hexi Town and Big River Town soon became fierce when Zhang Yue came onstage.

Her pet’s opponent was a high-level servant, the Sickle Shell Beetle. It looked like a ladybug with a pair of huge sickles.

“Forest Deer, unleash your Pasture Field and Grass Sword Storm!” exclaimed Zhang Yue.

“Sickle Shell Beetle, use Acceleration. Charge forward! Use Incessant Chops at close range next!”

“Bleet!”

The Forest Deer’s spiritual power exploded as it unleashed a field of pasture. Numerous grass sprouted which turned into sharp blades, forming a huge sword storm in a flash. The Sickle Shell Beetle was directly cut by the swords when it charged forward.

“Amazing! Miss Zhang Yue has emerged victorious!

“Good job!”

…

“Let us invite the next round of players.”

The host announced loudly.

Enthusiastic cheers erupted in the audience area. Zhang Yue was not bad in appearance and had long, straight legs. A group of geezers quickly rooted for her, shouting with great enthusiasm.

“Zhang Yue is so strong! Her pet has the restorative Pasture Field. Grass Knot, Energy Ball Transfer, and Grass Sword Storm are perfect moves as well. It’s a pity that Big River Town’s two warlord pets, the Withered Bone Mantis and the Small Sword Eagle, can’t be the champions anymore.”

Chen Rouxue exclaimed. If Zhang Yue was a little stronger than their team, she might really win the championship.

“It’s pretty perfect; I almost fell into her traps. I think it’s good to have this kind of field to raise dairy cows. I’m considering letting my dad raise a Forest Deer to open a pasture.”

Su Bai nodded.

“Good idea, but the Forest Deer has several characteristics. The Pasture Field is a rare characteristic, so it’ll probably be very expensive.”

Su Bai nodded, thinking further about the feasibility of this matter. Cow monsters now had a high survival rate and were much easier to raise than ordinary cows, so it seemed like a good idea to open a ranch.

“Big River Town has sent their player Hui Xing, who owns a Small Sword Eagle at the warlord level. I now announce the official start of the match!”

The Small Sword Eagle was born to fly, which directly made the Forest Deer useless, since it had no way to use combo moves including Grass Knot.

“Grass Sword Storm!”

“Small Sword Eagle, Tornado!”

Being in the sky had an absolute advantage over being on the ground, but the Forest Deer still had a strong restorative ability thanks to its Pasture Field. The two were at a deadlock for half an hour before the deer finally exhausted the Small Sword Eagle’s energy.

The main reason was that the Grass Sword Storm caused large-scale damage. The strongest attack of the Small Sword Eagle required it to be at a close range, but it was hit by the Forest Deer before it could attack. Furthermore, the Forest Deer relied on its pasture to restore its energy while it forcibly exhausted the opponent’s.

The audience was now deeply aware of the disgusting ‘exhaustion and torture’ method used by wood attribute pets’. If the opponent could not defeat the wood attribute pet in seconds, then the latter could continue recovering even to full capacity.

“Zhang Yue wins! I invite the next player.”

“F*ck! She’s too fierce. Isn’t the exhaustion rate too terrifying? Zhang Yue is the best!”

“You must first have that rare energy restoration field to play the exhaustion game. Do you think it’s so easy? She’s really amazing, though!”

“Zhang Yue is the king; she’s the best with her long legs!”

“Still, compared to this, Su Bai’s cunning methods aren’t conventional at all!” someone shouted.

Su Bai: “…” Hey, he could hear it all.

“Hmph, she’s just an elementary schemer. I don’t need to do those things. My pet can smash an average opponent to death with a few vine whips, so why do we need to exhaust their energy?” He snorted.

“Howl! (๑′°〈°๑)”

The cub held its head high and agreed with him. Ah Bai is right!

Although Zhang Yue’s pet was strong, it was still defeated by the Withered Bone Mantis completely.

“Forest Deer, Grass Knot and Energy Ball!”

She shouted in agitation, having seen hope of victory. The Withered Bone Mantis could not fly, so she could use her combo tricks.

“Withered Bone Mantis, use Wither attack!” said Wang Tao with a sneer.

His pet’s body exuded a dim light, and the surrounding pastures wilted instantly. The dim and wilted energy on the mantis’s blades looked even more worn out.

However, in the next moment, the Withered Bone Mantis waved its blade, and a series of dim and withered knives slashed forward. Wherever this set passed by, the grass and trees would wither.

The energy ball condensed by the Forest Deer collided with it and was directly sliced in half. It had no way to fight this battle anymore as it was completely restrained.

“Wang Tao is the winner! Big River Town has won the first semifinals.” The host stood up and announced.

Enthusiastic cheers and applause erupted from the audience. The Withered Bone Mantis was too handsome.

Wang Tao stood in the field with his two-meter-tall pet beside him. Looking around, his gaze eventually lingered on Su Bai. When the latter locked eyes with him, he slowly gestured him forward with his finger.

Stunned, Su Bai revealed a disdainful expression and stuck out a middle finger in retaliation.

“F*ck! So impressive. That Withered Bone Mantis is specially used to dealing with Su Bai’s pet, isn’t it?”

“Don’t be afraid, old fox! Just do it!”

“Defeat him!”

At that moment, the audience and live broadcast rooms were extremely lively.

Chen Rouxue pretended not to see Su Bai’s middle finger as she spoke to him. “His Wither attack is so powerful and seems to be specifically aimed at you. Do you have any idea?”

Chen Bo, Wang Er, Guo Dong, and the rest also looked over, wondering how their team captain would deal with the guy.

“That’s probably the skill that the Withered Bone Mantis acquired after its awakening. It’s indeed powerful, but I’m not at all helpless.” Su Bai raised his head.

“You have an idea?” asked Chen Bo curiously. Its restraint was too deadly.

“Of course. Our method is to let Chen Rouxue fight him. The Wither skills are too powerful, but Big Demon is a ghost pet and has an undead attribute. It’ll receive extremely low damage and is perfectly immune to the mantis,” he said matter-of-factly.

Chen Bo: “…”

Wang Er: “…”

Guo Dong: “…”

Brother, weren’t you just happily provoking him? Are you afraid now?

Su Bai did not think that there was a problem with this. The guy could not even defeat his girlfriend, yet he wanted to fight him?

Chen Rouxue glared at her boyfriend angrily but still felt quite smug inside.
