Starting With Contract Pets
/ Starting With Contract Pets Chapter 228 – Approaching Target
As the thousand clones of Planet Eye spread out, the surrounding starry space was no longer unknown to Su Bai. With him as the center, he knew everything in a radius of nearly 10,000 kilometers, and the farther the avatars of Planet Eye flew, the farther his detection of the surroundings were. Because of its Instantaneous Transmission, the transmission of information was instantaneous for Planet Eye, and the delay of information in the starry sky did not exist for it.
Therefore, their group moved faster and faster until they gradually approached the speed limit of Planet Eye.
Master, our current speed has reached 70,000 kilometers per hour, which is already my speed limit. Unless I swallow more metal and advance to the high-level commander, or preferably the monarch grade, my speed won't have a more qualitative leap.
The ethereal metallic voice of Planet Eye sounded in Su Bai's mind.
“Then keep moving forward at the current speed.” He glanced at the dark, starry space.
He gave almost every metal he encountered along the way for Planet Eye to swallow, but the low-quality metal he encountered so far was not enough for it to advance to the sovereign level.
Although Planet Eye was an intelligent metal lifeform, it was quite special, and all its skills were almost unfamiliar. It could achieve the best release state through algorithms, but this did not mean that it could be promoted forever. It still needed to rest and stabilize its breath.
Encountering matter in the dark starry space was no less than a miracle, especially in the Abyss Star Territory, where planets were extremely rare. Su Bai went all the way and encountered nothing special.
He was not bothered by this fact, though. He had already set his target on the broken planet that he could see and was advancing toward. He felt that something extraordinary must exist there.
This was because, normally, if a planet lost half of its body, it would not be like an apple, with the rest remaining intact. In the universe, if a planet was cut for some reason, the rest would generally collapse under the universe's gravitational pull, eventually forming a circle or a shape close to that.
However, the planet in front could remain intact despite losing its other half. This was very abnormal in itself.
“You said Su Bai had also entered Heavenly Abyss? Are you sure?” Xiao Yulong looked at the person in front of him with a surprised expression.
“Yes, Master Long. Many students saw him do so; you can find information on it as well.”
It was a girl in purple clothes who spoke. She looked at the man before him and nodded. “Not only that. I sent some people to follow him secretly. They're all quasi-heavenly king Pet Tamers with high-level monarch pets. With them around, it would be very difficult for Su Bai to escape or even impossible.
“Even if he can't be killed, we can prepare for his return. When all the cracks in space are closed, no matter how strong he is, he will die.” Shi Xiu's words were full of confidence.
“No, I want to do it myself.” Xiao Yulong stood up. “Prepare yourself, and come with me in a while.”
“Why does the master want to do it personally? I thought you wanted to find who robbed you of the Blood Moon divine skill? Could it be that…” The girl looked at Xiao Yulong with gradually widening eyes. She seemed to have understood something but was still in disbelief.
This girl in purple was Zi Yi, the daughter of Yulong Gymnasium's curator and the girlfriend of Xiao Yulong.
Of course, they were in a genuine relationship and had not been forced by their parents.
“You're right. It's Su Bai. The hidden strength of this person might be beyond your imagination,” Xiao Yulong said with narrowed eyes.
He looked outside the window and recalled the information he had obtained. Su Bai really hid too deeply. He never thought that he could do such things without making noise. Although he had likely received help and guidance from some people, it still showed how extraordinary he was.
Otherwise, it would not be possible to take away the inheritance with so many people competing for it. Besides Gao An, there must be others secretly supporting him.
Therefore, he must retrieve the divine skill as soon as possible, and it could not be delayed further. The longer it took, the more it would improve Su Bai, which would then pose a problem for him, since there was a possibility of him being unable to defeat the latter.
“I'll tag along with you. I'm wondering what's so special about Su Bai.” She stood up, full of curiosity.
“You'd better borrow a stronger pet from your dad, or else it'll be too dangerous.”
Zi Yi rolled her eyes upon hearing this. “Are you teasing me? Ever since he learned that I'm in a relationship with you, he hasn't even let me into the house. Do you think that he still cares about my life and death?”
Although Zi Wuji, Yulong Gymnasium's curator, wanted to turn the gymnasium into one inherited through family, he was very disgusted with the Imperial Dragon Clan and naturally disgusted with his daughter's behavior. In his opinion, Xiao Yulong only fancied Zi Yi's identity, but his stupid daughter did not understand anything.
“Don't worry. Your dad definitely cares…”
“Okay, let's not talk about him. I don't care even if he does, and I'm not going back. He only has my precious brother in his heart.
“Isn't the high-level emperor Four-colored Vine in my hand enough? This is a legendary monster from the Nine-colored Willow,” Zi Yi waved her hand and said again.
Xiao Yulong thought for a while, then slowly nodded, and said, “Okay. If you don't want to go back, then I'll go and borrow the dragon from my house. After that, we can set off.”
“Howl~” Ah Bai, this starry space is too boring~ the elf complained. It felt a sense of novelty at first, but then it slowly discovered that, with the passage of time, everything was almost static.
“It's indeed boring, but we're almost there. Just bear with it; the place in front will definitely be very interesting.”
Su Bai caressed Purple Jade's head and looked up at the strange, halved planet in the distance.
After ten days of journeying, they were only nearly a million kilometers away from their destination.
Sigh~ Okay. Tyrant, Mewling, come and play games with me; it's too boring here.
As the elf spoke, it took out a pair of poker cards from the space pendant on its chest. I'll lay down the rules first: You're not allowed to cheat with spiritual power.
There's a special situation ahead. A group of people is running toward us, and behind them is a group of terrifying, black monsters. At this time, the voice of Planet Eye rang in his mind, and at the same time, an image was projected on the big screen.
The screen showed more than one hundred people fleeing wildly on their powerful pets' backs. The weakest of these pets was at the commander grade, and the strongest among them was at the monarch grade.
Behind them was a bunch of ferocious monsters in black armors. These monsters advanced toward the humans like shadows, directly hitting them without evading any attacks. Most incredibly, the attacks hit them but were merely deflected. They were not harmed by the attacks at all.
On the other hand, once the pets of this group of people were directly torn and eaten by the black monsters, colorful blood splashed out. They were then quickly absorbed cleanly by these wild monsters.
Corollary, the eyes of these black monsters became blood-red and their speed and power increased further.
What sort of monsters is this? They're terrifying! The elf's eyes widened.
It doesn't exist in the database. They should be monsters unique to the Abyss Star Territory. Ah Bai, do we avoid them, see the situation first, or save the humans? Planet Eye's cold mechanical voice sounded in his head.
He looked at the picture on the screen and said after a while, “Directly use the electromagnetic transmission to pass by them and then head to our destination.”
With that, an emerald-gold contract book flew out. Starry Omnivore Kraken, which had been hiding in the void, was kept as soon as the pages turned.
“1314, use electromagnetic transmission,” Su Bai glanced at the picture on the screen and ordered indifferently.
“Okay.”
Planet Eye responded as golden light enveloped its body. Following the flash of light, the ten-kilometer-big Planet Eye disappeared directly from sight.
