Chapter 485 Aurora Base City

Soon, the Swamp War Crocodile had arrived at the outer wall. The captain and the guards that were stationed there were pale with fright. They knew that it was a pet, not a wild beast that would invade the base city. Still, they couldn’t help but panic. Everyone was standing on the spot, stiffly, and no one dared to make a move.

The titled battle pet warrior that went to get the map had just returned. The map was comprehensive, including information of all the base cities in the Subcontinent District.

Su Ping accepted it gladly.

He bid farewell to the two titled battle pet warriors. He rode the Swamp War Crocodile and dashed out through the spacious tunnel.

Su Ping no longer had to be overly cautious in the wilderness; the Swamp War Crocodile could step on anything it wanted. Su Ping read the map while sitting on one of its scales. He soon found the location of the Aurora Base City.

He also saw where the Holy Light Base City and the Jinghai Base City were.

The base cities were scattered across the subcontinent. The edge of the Subcontinent District was hexagon-shaped, and outside the border was the ocean.

Many beasts were found in the ocean, making it inaccessible to humans. Su Ping had also heard that not even legendary battle pet warriors dared to go across the sea.

Su Ping identified a path and drove the Swamp War Crocodile toward their destination.

Aurora Base City.

While it was counted among the seven Class A base cities of the Subcontinent District, the Aurora Base City was the best in its size and military power. This was a base city that not even the four ancient families had a right to step in. The Aurora Base City was managed by the Free Trade Organization and its citizens enjoyed a high level of liberty. Products that were considered contraband in other base cities could be traded publicly in this grand city.

That included some contraband pets, potions, and skills.

Powerful warriors and trainers were gathered in the Aurora Base City. The Free Trade Organization could be seen as a faction on par with the Star Organization, but not as compatible as the latter. After all, the Free Trade Organization was one that was in the business circle, not as an organization with violence as its main tool.

The Supremacy League had always been held in the Aurora Base City. The sole sponsor was the Free Trade Organization. The Supremacy League was always where the powerful battle pet warriors gathered. That yearly gathering would bring along a huge number of transactions and profits to the Aurora Base City.

No one had an idea about the wealth of the Free Trade Organization. It was said that they had enough money to buy 10 base cities!

Many wide and well developed highways could be seen outside the base city. The battle pet warriors from other base cities could drive to get there.

At the moment, more than a dozen cars were parked outside the base city, several hundred meters away from the city wall. They were waiting to be checked to get in.

Dong, dong, dong!

All of a sudden, people felt the ground tremble.

The noise alarmed the drivers and passengers, as well as the guards at the checkpoints. Everyone turned to the source of the noise.Yellow sand storms were wreaking havoc in the horizon. They could faintly see a shadow that was as tall as a hill moving their way.

“What is that? Detect!”

“Ring the siren!!”

“Beast king life energy detected!”

Inside the Intelligence Station on the outer wall—the guards used radars that were hidden in several places outside the base city. From the data collected, they realized that it was a beast king heading their way. Sirens across the outer wall were sounded.

What a terrifying realization!

Was it an attack?!

The Aurora Base City was not a place that feared beast kings due to its core strength and military power, which were enough to scare away the average beast kings. However, beast kings were the most terrifying type of beasts on the Blue Planet. A base city would have to pay dearly when they wanted to deal with a beast king without the help of a legendary battle pet warrior.

The titled battle pet warriors who were currently on break were alerted.

They flew to the side of the city the beast king was approaching. The titled battle pet warriors wore grave expressions as if a war was imminent.

The radars picked up some new data.

Human being!

On the back of the beast king!

Everyone in the Intelligence Station was stunned. Which… legendary battle pet warrior was coming?!

They received the news when the guards were about to pull the city-wide alarms; they notified the titled battle pet warriors instead. Two of the titled battle pet warriors went to find out if a legendary battle pet warrior was coming, or if something was wrong in the data, or whether this was a ruse developed by the beast king.

They couldn’t afford to be careless because certain beast kings were just as intelligent as humans.

Soon, the two battle pet warriors at the peak of the titled rank summoned their pets and were armed to their teeth. They finally got a clear look of the beast king and the human being standing on its back when thy were a thousand meters away. “You are approaching the Aurora Base City. Who are you, sir?” one of the titled battle pet warriors shouted.

Su Ping—who was resting on the back of the Swamp War Crocodile-was startled by the shout. He opened his eyes and saw that he had arrived at the Aurora Base City. The journey took him less than half a day when the distance was longer than that between the Longjiang Base City and the Holy Light Base City. If he would have taken the underground train, the trip would have taken him at least two days and a half!

Sir? Is he talking to me? Su Ping wondered. “I am Su Ping from Longjiang,” he shouted back.

The two titled battle pet warriors were relieved to receive a reply and at the same time, surprised. Su Ping from Longjiang? What? They had never heard of him.

“Is the beast king your pet?” the titled battle pet warrior shouted again.

That was just an obvious question. Su Ping really wanted to say no. But he had noticed the many weapons readied on the wall, including some short-range missiles. He realized that riding over on the Swamp War Crocodile had created a problem for this base city.

He fought the urge to joke around and answered honestly, “Yes, this is my pet. Don’t worry. It won’t bite you.”

Without his permission, indeed, the Swamp War Crocodile wouldn’t bite anyone.

The two titled battle pet warriors produced a forced smile. Were there any beast kings that wouldn’t bite people? The two titled battle pet warriors didn’t trouble themselves with that. They just wondered when the Subcontinent District had gained a third legendary battle pet warrior.

Anyway, a man riding a beast king was not someone they could afford to offend. Su Ping moved closer and the titled battle pet warriors saw that the man was young, maybe a little bit too young Also, it surprised the two that Su Ping’s energy didn’t seem to be strong, even a little bit weaker than the average titled battle pet warriors. But that did not matter. Su Ping might be hiding his strength.

One of the two titled battle pet warriors carefully arranged his speech. “Sir, you’re going to enter the Aurora Base City and your pet is too big. Could you put it away in your contract space?”

Su Ping heaved a sigh. “Not really.”

He knew that this was a disadvantage of a temporary contract.

The two didn’t know what to say after Su Ping’s refusal but they didn’t want to displease him. One of them had to summon the courage to make another suggestion, “Sir, the base city has a large population. The beast king will trouble many citizens. How about we set up a place for your beast king?”

Su Ping thought about it. “The Supremacy League competition will take place here, right? I’m going to participate. I may need to use this pet during the competition. How about you find me a place closer to the venue? That way, it’ll be easier for me to summon it if needs be.”

“The Supremacy League?”

The two titled battle pet warriors were surprised. They sized up Su Ping again.

A legendary battle pet warrior would not make jokes like that.

The Supremacy League was for people that were below the beast-king level.

But legendary battle pet warriors were above that level!

Was this young man some old freak at the peak of the ninth-rank in disguise?

The two looked at each other. They were thinking the same thing. Those at the peak of the titled rank could have a beast king as a pet. Some could rub elbows with legendary battle pet warriors and get beast kings as pets. There was once a well-connected individual who came to know many legendary battle pet warriors in the Tower and managed to get several beast kings!

As such, the two titled battle pet warriors thought that Su Ping had to be someone who had just got his hands on a new pet and could not wait to show it off there, since he didn’t want to put the pet away while knowing it was inconvenient.

After all, the real legendary battle pet warriors would never brag about their beast king pets. Being at the legendary rank in itself was awe-inspiring

Even so, the two titled battle pet warriors didn’t show any change on their faces. Even though Su Ping was not a legendary battle pet warrior, one with a beast king was still intimidating. “Sure, we’ll find a place for you,” one of the two said.

“Good.”

Su Ping was happy about the result.

He was aware that it was a special request. He also knew that he would have to bulldoze his way over and tear apart the entire venue if he were to take the Swamp War Crocodile directly to the competition.

Every participant would go onto the stage and summon their pets. He was different. He would have to open up a hole in the wall and let the crocodile crawl in.

Of course, Su Ping didn’t plan to use the Swamp War Crocodile. He believed the Inferno Dragon was enough.

He had taken the Swamp War Crocodile there because he wanted to guard against legendary battle pet warriors. He had many enemies; he didn’t know if the legendary battle pet warrior who contended with him was in the base city.

After their discussion, the two titled battle pet warriors told their guards to cancel the alarm.

Then they showed Su Ping into the base city through a side path.

The two would dart an occasional glance at the beast king. It seemed that this beast king was even more powerful than the other beast kings that they had met in the past. Their instincts told them that this pet was scary and that they should stay away.

Led by the two-along a path in the suburbs where the population was small-Su Ping arrived at a lake.

“The venue for the Supremacy League is just across the lake, not far from here. If you want to use the beast king, you can tell the judge and we will send a person to show you the way so that you can take your pet over,” one of the two explained to Su Ping.
