Chapter 172 - Dragon Hounds Playground (2/2)
Ye Chenshan didn’t order his lizard to confront the vipers already because the creature wasn’t enough to fend off that many of them. But after some faltering, he decided to take the risk and a.s.sist Su Ping.
“Do it then.” Nie Chengkong looked relieved. “But be careful.”
Ye Chenshan nodded and quickly got in touch with his lizard, only to find that Su Ping’s Dark Dragon Hound was nowhere to be found. “Did-did it die already?? Wait…”
Using the vision sent by his lizard, he quickly found the hound in the midst of the viper swarm instead of staying close to their s.h.i.+eld.
“What is it doing??”
Su Ping spoke to him, “You can leave it be. Tell your lizard to help the Death Scythe so we can kill the alpha viper as soon as possible.”
Through their “pet connections,” people watched in awe as they saw the snake swarm turning into utter chaos, as the Dark Dragon Hound somewhat playfully dashed among the vipers while randomly knocking them aside. Because of this, none of the vipers could follow their alpha.
“What is—How is it doing that??”
People couldn’t believe that a sixth-rank pet was moving so freely under the a.s.sault of a group of eighth-rank monsters, but they couldn’t be seeing things at the same time either, so they had to trust it.
Luo Guxue suddenly remembered Su Ping’s “exceptional training sessions” and suddenly found the matter to be more understandable. “My word… I need to pay his shop a visit,” she mumbled. “Mister Su?? What is going on?” Nie Chengkong asked with widened eyes. His Fallen Priest had not joined the battle yet because most vipers had been attracted by the Dark Dragon Hound. Besides, he was too astonished right then to give any commands to his pet.
Su Ping maintained his casual look. “As I said, my hound is good at not only detection, but also combat, as long as we’re facing common enemies.”
“Common enemies??”
Those are NOT common enemies! Nie Chenshan protested in his mind. If we didn’t know already, we’d believe that there was a ninth-rank pet helping us!
All those who doubted Su Ping earlier changed their minds right then; if the Dark Dragon Hound was only Su Ping’s “secondary pet,” they would expect even more reliable help at this rate.
Chen and Old Mo also exchanged a knowing look as they agreed to treat Su Ping more fairly. They finally understood why Su Ping was promised the privilege to pick a treasure first. It was clear that Su Ping had enough time and resources to become a t.i.tled battle pet warrior in the future. They would not get on his bad side.
“All right, here I come!” Nie Chengkong ordered his Fallen Priest to join the fray as well. With the hound disrupting them, the vipers were no longer a threat.
The alpha viper had been completely isolated. Using this chance, Old Mo focused on controlling his Death Scythe so they could pick out the “enemy commander” in time.
This alpha viper was only an intermediate eighth-rank monster, whereas the Death Scythe was at the lower ninth-rank. Soon enough, the viper was on the losing side.
Luo Guxue and Ye Chenshan exchanged an embarra.s.sed glance when they found nothing to do.
Similarly, Guo Yuelin and Zhou Jing both understood how Su Ping had managed to save Luo Guxue and Ye Chenshan from a life-threatening danger.
Woof! Wuff!
The Dark Dragon Hound was having fun playing “cat and mouse” with a bunch of enemies it was most familiar with. On the other hand, the vipers were getting restless after being played around by a dog. Their wind blades, tornado traps and poisonous bites… Nothing seemed to work against the hound at all.
In addition to the hound’s burning coat that easily deflected most attacks, it also had three different types of defensive enchantments protecting its body, making it more robust than the Earthen Dragon.
