Chapter 171: Another Mystic Realm! Damn Tomb Robbers!
Chapter 171: Another Mystic Realm! Damn Tomb Robbers!
"You know, with that outfit, you do look a bit like those ancient generals, marching forward with a bold and proud demeanor, ready to go to war!"
Beside him, Dong Muchun looked at Su Ping.
Riding on the back of the 'War Wolf Lao Sha', Su Ping wore a soft scale armor made from the scales of an Ironstone Giant Lizard, an outfit that could be considered luxurious.
He even had a mechanical weapon gun holstered at his waist.
The use of mechanical weapons was permitted by the Jianghai Beastmaster Association after Su Ping's previous encounter with the attackers.
Behind Su Ping, there was a dense pack of wolves, numbering around thirty to forty.
A group of this size would likely cause unimaginable chaos if it appeared on the streets or even in a bustling downtown area.
Fortunately, they were in the suburbs, and more specifically, within their own pet breeding base.
Su Ping let out a soft hum, "What do you mean by 'like'? I'm going on a campaign!"
Dong Muchun rolled her eyes, "I've never heard of ancient generals going to war with divine weapons, leading thousands upon thousands of troops, and raiding an abandoned fort that no longer has enemies. And now you're bringing an even higher-level bodyguard battle pet!"
Of course, even if Su Ping didn't say it, Dong Muchun, knowing his intention, would definitely accompany him. The mystic realm was too dangerous.
Su Ping seemed not to notice the ridicule in her words, instead looking at her in surprise, "You consider yourself a high-level bodyguard battle pet? Well then, call me master and let's hear it!"
Dong Muchun glared at him, her cloud-cherry-blossom-covered hand ready to fire an energy cannon at Su Ping.
Just then, Cloud Cherry Blossom's voice rang out, "Master, Mr. Su Ping is your business partner and has a special identity. Unless there's a life-threatening situation, it's not advisable to take action against Mr. Su Ping.
Su Ping laughed, "Look, even Cloud Cherry Blossom disagrees."
Dong Muchun's face darkened, and Cloud Cherry Blossom covered her face with her mask, then said, "Cut the chatter. I'm on a tight schedule and don't have time to waste on your shenanigans."
Su Ping looked at the woman with suspicion, wondering what she was up to. She seemed like she had gunpowder in her veins.
However, noticing the woman's foul mood, Su Ping didn't continue the banter. Instead, he looked at the well-disciplined pack of wolves behind him, like soldiers ready for action, and asked, "Are you ready, my companions?"
"Awooo!"
In front of the Waterheart Pet Breeding Base, the howls of the wolves echoed.
Su Ping nodded in satisfaction, then brought all the Forest Wolves into the Beastmaster's Space. After that, he grabbed the branch-like horn on Lao Sha's head and excitedly looked into the distance, "Lao Sha, let's move out!"
"Awooo!"
Lao Sha marched out of the Waterheart base like a soldier standing at attention, ready to march.
Watching Su Ping's show of force, Dong Muchun shook her head helplessly.
This was probably the only reason she had come here—the only person who would do so was the man before her.
Most likely, they were going on a suburban outing, and she, a Sovereign Beastmaster, was expected to act as his bodyguard?
This guy really thought she had nothing better to do than accompany him every day.
Of course, Dong Muchun's foul mood wasn't solely due to this.
It was a phone call she received early that morning.
The call wasn't from just anyone; it was from her father.
In fact, the father and daughter had spoken several times before.
However, Dong Muchun's attitude during those conversations had been indifferent.
After all, Dong Mutian had been relatively well-behaved recently.
But when she learned that the Great River Company, which was competing with the Heavencloud Group, had been acquired by Pingyun Corporation, a company that Dong Muchun and Su Ping had partnered with, at an unimaginable low price, the situation seemed different.
This news had undoubtedly reached the Dong family.
For outsiders, understanding the details would be extremely difficult, but for the Dong family, it was obvious.
They knew that on that night, a formidable figure had arrived in Linzhou.
So, in the past few days, her father had been calling her frequently, making Dong Muchun sense something amiss.
And this morning, he had directly asked a question he had never dared to probe before.
Her father, the clan leader of the Mirror Sage Dong family, wanted to meet Su Ping, a junior, through his daughter's connections.
What this represented was self-evident.
Dong Muchun's gaze turned indifferent.
Su Ping was 'hers' because this was her best opportunity to break free from the Dong family label.
Noble families were the best platforms and origins, but in this modern era, they were also a shackle.
This was the perfect opportunity.
She wouldn't allow anyone to think that Su Ping's companions or those standing behind him had a relationship with the Dong family and, therefore, with her.
Dong Muchun almost didn't have to think before politely declining her father's suggestion.
However, she couldn't help but wonder what this kid was thinking.
She glanced at Su Ping, who was riding Laosha and crossing the road, his wolf pack howling as they headed north towards the wasteland.
Su Ping, at that moment, was riding on Laosha's back, looking at the messages from the secret realm owner on his phone.
Shaker Forest King Niu Ba.
The name and title were quite amusing.
But this person was quite famous.
Although not as renowned as the Fuguo Sword King Yu Liangqing, who had achieved a trans-rank kill during his Emperor Rank, especially against a Holy Spirit Rank opponent, this Forest-Shaking Boar King, Niu Ba, was also well-known.
Through his online search, Su Ping learned that Niu Ba was initially just a butcher who raised wild boar beasts.
Later, Niu Ba independently developed a special evolution for the wild boar beasts: the Pine Oil Wild Boar.
With its Wood Attribute, this unique wild boar pet evolved from a common-ranked pet, which only provided decent meat quality, into one of the lowest-ranked pets, to a pet with extremely powerful combat potential, almost equivalent to an Overlord Rank.
It wasn't a leap to the heavens, but it was close.
During the ancient Liang Dynasty, the beastmaster hierarchy was also highly exclusive. For Niu Ba to rise from a common butcher to a Duke Rank beastmaster during that era was no easy feat, and his struggles were evident.
Su Ping admired him greatly.
He always admired those who rose from humble beginnings through their own hard work.
Unfortunately, he had initially thought he belonged in that category—even though, in addition to his efforts, he also had the advantage of being a cheat.
Much to his surprise, it seemed like fate didn't grant him the same opportunity, leaving him with a sense of regret.
Rising from humble beginnings was no longer a realistic expectation.
He could only try to stand on the shoulders of giants and witness the heights they had reached.
Thus, when Su Ping entered the secret realm left behind by the historical figure Niu Ba, he did so with a sense of respect.
Although this place had already been thoroughly scavenged.
They entered the wasteland.
Su Ping waved his hand, and a pack of wolves appeared in the wilderness.
Countless forest wolves scattered in all directions.
They quickly searched the area.
Seizing the opportunity, Dong Muchun approached Su Ping and indirectly asked, "Su Ping, do you know about the Dong family? What's your opinion of them?"
Why was this woman asking this?
Nevertheless, he thought for a moment and shook his head, "I don't know much, but I don't like them."
Dong Muchun's eyebrows rose, "Why?"
"Because of how they treat you, of course I don't like them," Su Ping replied matter-of-factly.
A family that only valued profit, even at the expense of familial affection, was common among the aristocratic families, but it was still quite uninteresting.
Perhaps such a family could survive and thrive over the centuries, making it the best model for family growth.
But Su Ping still disliked it.
However, it was evident that Dong Muchun had misunderstood.
The woman blinked, but it was clear that Dong Muchun was not one to show her thoughts on her face.
It was unlikely that she would have as strong a reaction as Qin Xiaoxue; she merely pursed her lips, and a slight smile tugged at the corners of her mouth.
Su Ping looked at her suspiciously. She had just appeared annoyed, but now she was smiling?
Women were indeed more complex than any pet.
Fortunately, he didn't have to ponder for long.
In just a moment, a wolf howl sounded in the distance.
Su Ping immediately became alert.
Riding on Laosha and accompanied by the assembled wolf pack, they reached the location.
Indeed, it was a forest.
The dense forest, though lacking plant-type pets, still gave off a creepy aura.
On a branch in the forest, Su Ping once again saw the familiar secret realm entrance.
The space vortex continued to rotate slowly.
The ripples in the surrounding space created a sense of detachment in the area.
"This is it! Thirteen, well done!"
Su Ping tossed a blueberry tree fruit to the elite forest wolf that had found the secret realm.
After ensuring all the forest wolves had gathered, he didn't hesitate and stepped into the vortex.
And the result...
Although he had mentally prepared himself,
He couldn't help but admit that after arriving in the secret realm with great enthusiasm, he found it completely scavenged, leaving Su Ping with a heavy heart.
This was a vast expanse of land.
In addition to the land, Su Ping could also see traces of previous plant cultivation within the Mystic Realm.
However, there wasn't much energy residue in this Mystic Realm.
Even if there was some, it wasn't enough to rejuvenate this Mystic Realm.
Unconvinced, Su Ping circled the area and sighed.
This time, Dong Muyun, who was by his side, offered some comfort:
"This is normal. I know a bit about the Heaven Governor Office, and this profession has existed since ancient times. When Longguo was founded, they changed its name. Do you know what these people were called during the Liang Dynasty and earlier eras?"
Su Ping asked as he strolled with his army of Forest Wolves.
"The official term is 'Treasure Hunter', and those who manage these Treasure Hunters are known as 'Tomb Roving Commanders'.
They explore Mystic Realms, and unless it's a special Mystic Realm with rules left by its owner, they usually leave nothing behind. Otherwise, they typically don't spare anyone."
Su Ping was speechless.
Damn, now that he thought about it, it seemed to be true? After a powerful Beastmaster dies, the Mystic Realm they leave behind is like a tomb from the previous generation.
And what remains in this Mystic Realm are the treasures these Beastmasters possessed in their lifetime.
These people are called Treasure Hunters.
So, the common folk are just pure tomb raiders? Longguo's renaming was quite thorough. Su Ping wondered about the connection between these Treasure Hunters and the official department that was supposed to study the stars.
Turns out the original name wasn't that great? He still wanted to see if the Heaven Governor Office people could leave something behind for him to pick up.
Now it seems like it's better not to test his luck by interfering with their work.
Despite this, he still felt a bit resentful! Damn those tomb raiders!
Soon, Su Ping calmed himself, realizing that he could just get his 'leaks' from the Fuguo Sword King.
It was better to earn his own guaranteed income.
So, Su Ping's mind moved, and he didn't pay attention to the astonished Dong Muyun.
He once again immersed his consciousness into his Beastmaster's Space.
The last time, Su Ping had used a clever method, reaching into the collapsing Sword King's Mystic Realm to absorb its energy.
The effect of the absorption was unknown,
but now, Su Ping was truly standing in this Mystic Realm, ready to activate the space's absorption ability.
As for Dong Muyun,
before, when he activated this ability, Su Ping did need to hide a bit.
But now, he didn't need to work.
Especially not from Dong Muyun.
Spatial absorption wasn't an 'All-Spirit Map', it wasn't a cheat, it was his own honest-to-goodness awakened space ability, what was there to be afraid of?
Who would dare challenge him? Find Second Uncle!
A genius and a second-generation, he could do as he pleased.
Psychic tentacles slowly extended.
In this void, it was as if he had merged with the deepest part of this Mystic Realm.
He connected his Beastmaster's Space with the 'Forest-Shaking Boar King's' Mystic Realm source, slowly linking them.
Then, he rapidly absorbed the nutrients.
Dong Muyun watched Su Ping's actions, and she was curious to know what he was doing.
After all, these Mystic Realms, once scavenged, were not only useless, but in some special locations, like cities, they could be quite troublesome.
Now, Su Ping was actively seeking out this? What was he up to?
Dong Muyun observed Su Ping, and she noticed a change in his expression.
Su Ping first revealed a smile.
Dong Muyun slightly pursed her lips, thinking it was normal.
Then Su Ping slightly opened his mouth,
and Dong Muyun's eyebrows furrowed as she sensed something amiss.
Then, seeing Su Ping's blissful expression,
Dong Muyun started to have doubts.
Just at that moment, suddenly,
the Mystic Realm space rippled and undulated.
Finally, in Dong Muyun's astonished gaze,
the entire Mystic Realm abruptly collapsed.
Dong Muyun stared in shock at the blissful young man.
What the hell?
These official tomb raiders, no, Treasure Hunters,
they actually blew up the 'tomb'?
