Chapter 308: Desperation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Su Bai was about to help, for Zhou Ling’an had done business with him honestly and efficiently, having also helped him handle some things, in the past. In the face of this situation, he was naturally going to help.
However, before he could do anything, a sudden breath of rainbow energy flew toward him.
Planet Eye directly used Gravity at the moment of crisis, and the invisible and massless gravity field formed, using its reverse guidance to distort the attack.
With a loud bang, this rainbow energy breath directly destroyed more than a dozen mountains behind.
“Who is it? Come out!” Chelsea shouted coldly, looking in the direction of Su Bai.
“Someone’s hiding here?” Zhou Ling’an also noticed the situation in the distance with a hint of surprise on her face.
“Could it be that the Alliance had come to save us?”
The other woman called Jin Yan also showed a hint of hope. She was one of the chief disciples of Chongshen Gymnasium, one of the top ten peak gymnasiums.
They had been trapped here for a long time and had obviously come together to explore the ruins, but soon the others were scattered, leaving only the two of them.
Unfortunately, after four or five days, they still could not find a way out. Instead, Chelsea and the others had suddenly appeared and besieged them, asking them to join the embrace of some desperate mother and act as traitors to their world.
At this moment, when there were other movements, the two people looked at where Su Bai was with faces full of hope. They could be sure that there was someone somewhere, for the attack just then had been distorted by a kind of power.
“It’s possible, but it can also be someone else.” Zhou Ling’an exhaled deeply. “No matter what, we can finally take a breather.”
“How come we were discovered?” Su Bai did not emerge out of panic and, instead, glanced suspiciously at his pets.
It should be this black gas; this black gas is full of despair! Mewling Fox used a power of thought force to collect a black air current. This air current is very thin, but as soon as we appeared, it started to drill into our bodies.
“I see—” Before he even finished speaking, five or six energy breaths of increasing power flew in the distance.
“Roar!” Little Tyrant raised its hand and cast Blighted Fireball. A huge mushroom cloud appeared, relying on a powerful explosion to barely defeat the five or six energy breaths.
“Roar!” The opponents are too strong; my Blighted Fireball barely resisted their attacks!
The dino showed a hint of surprise. The Blighted Fireball, which Su Bai had once again reinforced, was already at the sovereign grade.
“You betrayed Blue Planet? You’re traitors?”
Since it was useless to hide, he did not bother hiding himself. Planet Eye returned to its spherical shape and he revealed himself and his pets.
“It turned out to be you; Su Bai, you actually appeared here! We really spent no effort. The Mother of Despair will definitely give you a huge reward.”
Seeing that it was Su Bai who had come to offer his life, Chelsea showed a hint of joy.
In the hunting list given by the Mother of Despair, Su Bai ranked in the top ten; they were also told that if they obtained a living Ancestor Blood Dragon, they would directly reward them with immortality.
Compared to the other people in the top ten, Su Bai was not only weak but also had a ridiculously high bounty for killing him. This made him the ideal prey.
It was a pity that he was too cautious, and his whereabouts were usually erratic, so he could not be caught at all.
Furthermore, he had even rejected Chelsea’s invitation.
She originally had given up and was about to look for another opportunity but had not expected that he would actually show up like this.
Forget about how surprised she was. Oh, my God! This is the great Mother of Despair’s guidance to me. Amen! Thank the almighty Mother of Despair!
On another end, Zhou Ling’an and Jin Yan could not help but feel gloomy when they saw Su Bai and felt a little desperate. The person who had come to save them was even weaker than them.
“God, why is it him? Zi Wuji is better than him.” Jin Yan was speechless. She thought that she was waiting for a savior but did not expect it to be a burden who might need their saving, instead.
Jin Yan shook her head. Even if Su Bai had some hidden strength and had sovereign combat power, what was the use of that?
There were a total of fifteen opponents here, and they were all mid-level sovereigns. An old chief disciple like her could not even defeat them, let alone Su Bai.
Zhou Ling’an also sighed and looked at him, shouting, “Su Bai, run away quickly! You can’t beat them. If you have a chance, spread the word. These people are traitors and have betrayed Blue Planet!”
“You want to run? Impossible. This is the world destroyed by the Mother of Despair. It has long been completely closed, so no one can escape from here!”
Chelsea sneered and looked at Su Bai again. “I’ll give you a chance to join us in the Mother of Despair. Blue Planet is about to die, anyway, and there’s no hope of salvation. Relying on the Mother of Despair can not only save your life but also win you a bright future. You’ll be a powerful existence like the true creator.”
“It seems like you’ve really become traitors.” Su Bai looked at Chelsea and the others, shaking his head. “Then I can’t let you go; I hate betrayal the most.”
“It seems like you’re looking for death. Okay, then. Leave two people to deal with the two women. Everyone else, follow me and catch him alive!” Chelsea sneered. “You rejected the staircase to heaven, so let’s see how powerful you truly are.”
As she spoke, thirteen sovereign monsters rushed toward Su Bai. They enclosed him with a rainbow net from all directions and with no dead end, ready to capture him alive directly.
The net was called Despair Locking Spirit Net, which could block the opponent’s spiritual power and erode his will through feelings of despair, making him lose the ability to resist.
The ghost-handed spider in front was the most terrifying, exuding an aura close to the sovereign level. It not only weaved a web of colorful spider silk but also emitted a strong spiritual force, which condensed to form a net numerous times more terrifying.
“No, we have to go over and help; we can’t let them succeed! Otherwise, we’ll be in even more danger.” Zhou Ling’an’s expression changed when she saw that the other party had directly sent thirteen sovereign monsters to attack Su Bai.
However, they felt a strange imbalance in their hearts. Was Su Bai alone more important than the two of them? Why did that guy deserve so much attention?
“Deal with those two monsters; I’ll save him!” Jin Yan frowned and said coldly.
She was extremely reluctant, though, and could not understand why Su Bai willingly came here to die. He already rejected the offer to participate, so why was he suddenly here?
Still, she went over to save the young man, since she could not let him be captured like this, or else the two of them would not have the power to resist.
“Run toward me; I’ll fight them off—”
Before Jin Yan could finish speaking, her mouth widened and she stared in a daze.
“Weep weep~”
With sweet-sounding cries, the twelve sovereign monsters, which had surrounded Su Bai, instantly exploded into a bloody mist, and their twelve headless corpses plummeted below.
The only survivor was the ghost-handed spider, which was of the spirit attribute, but it was also heavily injured. Immediately afterward, a fireball flew out and killed it directly.
In less than five seconds, all these enemy monsters had died, including the very powerful ghost-handed spider.
For a while, the entire field fell silent.
“I…”
Jin Yan opened her mouth, completely speechless. She did not even understand how the monsters had died.
The enemies had disappeared before her words of rescue were even spoken. This was unbelievable!
Finally, the corpses of the monsters fell to the ground and caused several thumping sounds. They seemed to have fallen into the hearts of the group and shocked them.
“This… What was that?!” Chelsea widened her eyes. Thirteen monsters had all been killed in seconds?
What kind of incredible strength could do this?
“Kill them!”
However, before they had time to think about it, the dino had already exposed itself from Su Bai’s side and spread its lava wings to fly over.
“Don’t!”
These people did not even have time to scream and were smashed into bloody mists by Little Tyrant with its 1,000-over-degree wings.
“Finally!” Su Bai nodded and turned to Zhou Ling’an and Jin Yan. “Can you deal with the remaining two monsters?”
“Don’t worry; leave it to us!” Jin Yan nodded first. It would be shameless if they could not deal with the monsters, of which the owners were both dead.
“Mewling, how is your state? Are you injured?” Su Bai took out a bottle of potion to replenish its mental power.
The fox drank the potion and mewled at him. Ah Bai, my current limit should be the mid-level sovereign, but it takes more than ten days to restore my mental power each time.
“It’s okay. Just recover slowly.” Su Bai caressed it, having understood its strength through his verification.
A single burst of attack could kill non-spiritual mid-level sovereign monsters in seconds.
The cores of the rainbow monsters just then were their souls, and Mewling Fox had directly poured in infinite spiritual power, squeezing their souls at once and even exploding their heads.
The earlier loss of perception skills had also played a big role as it distorted the perception of the monsters and Chelsea for a moment, making them unable to make correct judgment.
Otherwise, Chelsea’s ghost-handed spider with its spirit attribute would not have been so badly injured. Its perception had been distorted for a moment, leaving it no way to defend itself.
Of course, in terms of overall strength, Mewling Fox was still inferior to a sovereign monster, but it was almost invincible at the emperor grade.
This was the power of these full-bodied pets, and at the later stages, the gap between ordinary pets and them would be even more obvious.
Coupled with Su Bai’s presence, this gap was widened further.
Just like the Lost Perception skill, it was hard for monsters with unsaturated origin to wake up.
After feeding the fox, he kept it in his contract book to cultivate. At this time, Zhou Ling’an and Jin Yan, who had both killed the remaining two sovereign monsters, flew over.
“You turned out to be so powerful. Thank you so much this time.” Zhou Ling’an walked over and thanked him. “I won’t say anything like devoting myself to you, but if there’s anything I can do for you in the future, please don’t hesitate to call me.”
Jin Yan also took a deep breath and thanked him with her hands gathered. “Thank you for your life-saving grace; I hope that I can return the favor. Please inform me if you ever need my help.”
“Don’t mention it. I just happened to be passing by here; I didn’t make a special trip to rescue you.”
Su Bai spread his hands and shrugged. “You only need to keep this a secret for me and don’t tell anyone else about what happened today.”
“Don’t worry. We will keep it confidential.” The two nodded fiercely and promised.
Jin Yan took another good look at Su Bai. She originally thought that he was too weak and did not dare to come with them out of embarrassment. After all, many people were targeting him.
Now, it seemed like he was completely disdainful of the other people. Just like how the top geniuses in the Alliance were too disdainful to communicate with them.
It was not that they looked down on him; it was that he looked down on them for being too weak. It was too ridiculous for Feng Ming and Tang Shan to assume that Su Bai had not dared to come because he was too weak. In fact, they themselves thought that he was like that, too.
Thinking about it now, it was really ridiculous.
What made her feel worse was that Su Bai was only eighteen or nineteen years old, way younger than the top geniuses in the Alliance.
“I originally thought that the Ancestor Blood Dragon is your most-kept secret; we didn’t expect that it’s just the tip of the iceberg.”
Zhou Ling’an sighed and said telepathically to Su Bai, By the way, I’ll tell you a secret. The fact that you have the Blood Moon divine skill has been exposed by Xiao Yulong. With many people knowing it, some may secretly plot against you. Be careful.
I understand, Su Bai replied back, his voice calm. He did not expect that Xiao Yulong would be so courageous as to spread that fact.
At this time, it seemed that with the death of Chelsea’s group, the spatial door, which had originally disappeared at the edge of the continent, reappeared.
The two women could not hide their joy.
“Su Bai, do you want to leave with us? The others have disappeared, so they might also be in danger. I have to go back and report this to the Alliance,” Zhou Ling’an said.
“Then you can go back first, I won’t go back for the time being. I want to explore here. Maybe I can bump into the others.”
He shook his head.
“Okay, then. We’ll leave first. You must pay attention to your own safety.” Nodding, Zhou Ling’an turned to leave.
After asking him for his contact information, Jin Yan rode her pet away with Zhou Ling’an.
Even when they left, they were still deeply shocked. Su Bai’s terrifying strength was too deep and unfathomable.
The appearance of the little, white fox, which had mewled once, was firmly embedded in their minds, and they could not wait to know what kind of pet it was.
They had never seen such a terrifying existence.
Once the two were gone, the dino came over and took out a black ball. Ah Bai, this thing seems to be very useful. I hit that woman, but this thing didn’t break.
“I know. Come, let’s explore the depths of this continent.”
Su Bai took the black sphere, which had weird patterns of gold and silver on it.
Through the pet interface, he knew that this thing was called an ovule. It was a kind of pearl born from the clam of despair.
The place where the clam of despair grew was the Plain of Despair. There might be mysterious monster eggs in that place, so he wanted to go in and explore it.
“Roar~” Ah Bai, don’t I deserve to be rewarded? the dino approached him and asked.
“You just ate; let’s talk about it later.”
Su Bai glanced at it and said, “And the main credit goes to Mewling Fox.”
I… Fine! Little Tyrant glared angrily at him.
