Pet Simulator Novel - Chapter 162

The battle continued.

Wang Ye watched on seriously. This was a battle between existences that were level 5 and above.

Every level a pet advanced would bring about great changes.

After reaching level 5, the pet would reach adulthood and thus have an attributed beast vein, allowing it to fuse with its beastmaster’s talent, forming a unique talent fusion skill.

Wang Ye wasn’t sure how it worked, though.

Usually, only universities would teach such knowledge in depth. The other beastmasters could only rely on self-study or figuring it out on their own.

“Human-beast fusion?” Wang Ye looked at the huge dragon in the distance, deep in thought.

It didn’t seem like the literal combination of pets and beastmasters.

It was, instead, a combination of the physical bodies and souls of the pets and beastmasters. It was truly unique..

However, its combat strength was indeed strong.

After all, even the core area was affected by the battle waves coming from here.

“Speaking of which, this sword hilt of Xiao Tao’s can only be considered a remnant of its body, right? To think it’s so strong…” Wang Ye thought to himself, “Compared to its other companions like the Dark Tree of Heaven, it’s much more powerful.”

After all, Xiao Tao’s body had been separated.

The Dark Tree of Heaven was in a weak state but had the support of the supreme pool. Yet, it couldn’t even defeat the nether wood formed from its other side.

Rather, Wang Ye could even kill it.

Judging from the aftermath of a battle of this level, Wang Ye felt that even if both sides were almost exhausted, it would still be very risky for him to take action.

“Moreover, there’s one more important thing,” Wang Ye pondered, “Logically speaking, these people must be from the Investigation Corps. Since Xiao Tao’s remnant body is suppressed here, why would a battle break out at this time?”

Different sections of Xiao Tao’s body were being suppressed in different secret realms.

If he looked at the situation from what he felt…

“The aura emitted by the sword hilt is indeed strange and evil,” Wang Ye pondered.

Back in the Sealed Demon Sword Tomb, the key to Xiao Tao’s awakening was the Qinglei Peachwood in the giant tree.

If not for the piece of Qinglei Peachwood, he would have been dead just like in the simulation.

In other words…

“If there’s nothing that can awaken it, when it comes to… It will indeed seem like an evil sword,” Wang Ye frowned slightly.

From this point of view, there didn’t seem to be anything wrong with the Investigation Corps’s actions.

Therefore, there didn’t seem to be anything fishy with the Investigation Corp starting a battle here.

“Those demon skeleton sword ghosts should have been created after Xiao Tao was awakened. Yet, it should have been suppressed in the Land of the Hidden Mysterious for many years. It shouldn’t have woken up. Wait,” Wang Ye’s mind suddenly shook, as though he had thought of something.

Back in the Sealed Demon Sword Tomb, the reason Xiao Tao had been awakened was because the giant tree had been attacked by Lin Lei, which had caused the subsequent events.

“The black-robed man behind Lin Lei had told him the news. I originally thought that the black-robed man behind Lin Lei had something to do with the explosion of the dark fog in Anping County…” Wang Ye’s mind seemed to be filled with countless strands of information, “But in truth, the reason the black-robed man behind Lin Lei asked him to do these things, especially asking him to take away the Qinglei Peachwood and killing the giant tree, his purpose was… To awaken the suppressed Xiao Tao?”

Wang Ye began to recall the details of the simulations, and his forehead began to break out in cold sweat.

“In the simulation, as the dark fog in Anping County erupted, the results of almost every simulation had been that within a few years, or rather, in two or three years, Xingai Province would fall. In the past, I felt that there was nothing wrong with it.”

Only when he came to Qixing City this time did he feel that something seemed off now that he thought about it!

“Qixing City is such a huge city with as many experts as there are hairs on a cow’s back. The facilities are complete and perfect. It has the sea mechanical kun that allows transportation across provinces, as well as Qixing Investigation Corps which has a supreme-ruler rank. It also has experts that can teleport beasts through long distances in the assessment and legions that guard the major secret realms. Although the dark fog is powerful, in such a strong city, it can’t possibly destroy the entire Xinghai Province in just a few years, right? And this is only Qixing City…” Wang Ye wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

Dongli Country was indeed in a pinch. There were only a few provinces left.

However, Dongli Country had still been able to persist for hundreds of years after the dark fog erupted without a supreme beast totem. Although its national strength had declined severely and its resources were severely lacking, the country had already formed a system to contend with the dark fog at the same time.

This was especially so in a large province. Even if it was to be destroyed, it would be impossible without more than ten years of effort.

Previously, Wang Ye had not even been to Yaoguang City a few times, so he did not know much about Dongli Country or even Xinghai Province.

He only had a vague concept in his heart.

Thus, he hadn’t thought too much about it, nor did he think about such things.

“In the simulations, every time the dark fog erupts in Anping County, especially in the earlier simulations, Xinghai Province will disappear in a few years. Could it be that it has something to do with Xiao Tao and the others?”The dark-robed man behind Lin Lei wants to awaken Xiao Tao and the other pets that are being suppressed after being infected by the dark fog, and thus accelerate the dark fog’s eruption.”

Wang Ye closed his eyes and began to ponder.

If he hadn’t stopped Lin Lei in the past, Xiao Tao would have been unconscious after being awakened, and he would have died under the sword energy.

Then, Xiao Tao would definitely have been able to charge out of the Sealed Demon Sword Tomb, and even bring a group of fierce beasts with it. This would have caused a huge commotion that would have easily stalled Yaoguang City.

By then, the city would be in chaos. Following the dark fog eruption in Anping County, the dark fog would then quickly sweep over.

“…”

Wang Ye’s analysis caused him to break out in cold sweat.

With this, the awakening and appearance of Xiao Tao’s sword hilt here then made sense.

Someone had to be behind this!

Wang Ye was extremely suspicious that it was the black-robed man behind Lin Lei.

“Speaking of which, haven’t the mysterious faction that was attracted by Lin Lei, which is the power of the nation behind the scholars Xia Wange and Chen He, discovered anything yet?” Wang Ye stared ahead, his heart going through an earth-shattering change.

Right at this moment, in the distance, the blood-colored light sword suddenly expanded, and countless sword hilts rapidly fused into it, forming a blood-colored light sword that reached the heavens. As though it had completed some sort of fusion, it chopped down with an almost invincible aura. As it did so, it instantly divided into three blood-colored light swords, slashing down from three different angles and directions towards the dazzling golden dragon!

Boom!

Xiao Jiu and the white python put in all their efforts to resist to only barely manage to stabilize themselves before the terrifying shockwave.

Wang Ye narrowed his eyes.

The giant dragon suddenly opened its mouth and swallowed the sword light.

The sword light darted around in the dragon’s stomach and was actually slowly digested. As it was digested, its body also gradually became smaller. In the end, it was only a few dozen meters long, and its aura was weakened by more than half.

Wang Ye took a look and immediately understood.

The simulation information from before should be about this.

The giant dragon swallowed the sword light and suppressed the latter. When he had looked at the simulation at that time, it seemed such.

But now, after his brainstorming just now, Wang Ye felt that something was not right.

“The sword light has definitely not suppressed. It has f*cking been absorbed by the sword light formed by Xiao Tao’s remnant body!” Wang Ye’s scalp went slightly numb as he watched.

It looked like the sword light was being suppressed, but in reality, it was not.

“Xiao Tao’s remnant body must have been forcefully awakened. We have to make a move! Otherwise, if this continues, Xiao Tao’s remnant body will become stronger. When the matter blows up, it might directly attract the suppression of the supreme-ruler rank! You two, get your buffs ready, and let’s go!”

Xiao Jiu and the white python cried out solemnly!

The white python transformed back into its original form, then used Free-size.

After evolving, the white python’s body had become extremely large. At this moment, after it used Free-size, it directly became a giant python that was dozens of meters long!

Its entire body was silver-black as it slithered in the air, its aura even stronger than Xiao Jiu’s!

Although its combat power was still not comparable to Xiao Jiu’s, its aura was not any inferior!

The sword light that was swallowed by the giant dragon in the distance became increasingly smaller. The giant dragon’s body also shrunk.

On the other side, the blood-red longsword was also becoming smaller, but at the same time, when Wang Ye got closer, he could see that the blood-red light was darkening!

Rumble!

In the next moment, the blood-red longsword turned into a blood-red light, and rushed towards the giant dragon’s mouth!

“White python, block it!” Wang Ye’s eyes widened.

The huge body of the white python caused the space to tremble rapidly as it teleported to the front of the light sword.

“Who is it? Are you…in the… Deity… rank… yet? Who… Who are you? Quickly… leave!” A hoarse and intermittent voice came from the giant dragon’s mouth.

It was as if it did not have much breath left.

The closer he got, the clearer Wang Ye could see.

In the dragon’s body were four people, three men and a woman. They were all wearing Investigation Corps uniforms. They were indeed the investigators of Qixing City’s Investigation Corps.

There was a dragon-shaped mark between their eyebrows. It seemed to be the mark of some dragon-type pet.

The leader was a man with pale hair who looked to be about thirty years old. The eyes of the people behind him were tightly shut, and their breathing was weak.

Only he could still manage to speak.

Wang Ye did not answer. It was not easy for the other party to even speak at this time.

He only looked at the white python.

The moment it teleported over, the white python that had activated all its buffs activated Supercomputing Space, followed by Complete Darkness and Soul Space.

In an instant, the entire world seemed to turn dark.

Only the blood-red light was dazzling.

Then, countless Shadowless Lines twisted from the darkness and wrapped onto the blood-red longsword.

Rip!

Even in the darkness, the powerful Shadowless Lines of the white python were quickly broken.

However, in the soul space, the white python had endless spiritual energy, so it managed to barely block the blood-red longsword.

“Xiao Jiu, use the Scalding Bright Flame. Let’s see if we can wake it up,” Wang Ye’s expression was heavy.

With that, a platinum light shone from Xiao Jiu’s abdomen, as if it was brewing. Then, it abruptly opened its beak and shot out the white-gold Scalding Bright Flame.

The scorching flame was like the last light of the world in this complete darkness. It burned the blood-colored light sword.

In the next moment, the blood-colored light sword that came in contact with the Scalding Bright Flame immediately let out piercing screeches!

The blood-colored light on its body was weakening at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Xiao Tao had given them the Scalding Bright Flame. If they wanted to awaken its incomplete parts, they could only rely on this.

After an unknown amount of time, the blood-colored light under the sword hilt gradually disappeared, leaving only a light brown sword hilt that trembled slightly.

It let out a confused voice, “Who are you? Why do you have the Scalding Bright Flame?”
