Chapter 430 Taking Action

“What is that?”

Startled, Su Ping sat up.

At the same time, sirens outside the cabin went off.

The sirens would only go off when the train was under attack!

Su Ping focused his mind and used his senses to check. Immediately, he noticed that some beasts were moving about in the soil. It seemed that there were advanced beasts approaching the train. The train won’t break, will it?

Instead of worrying about himself, he was more worried about the train.

If the train broke down, his trip would be delayed.

Bang!!

Abruptly, the train shook again. It was as if something had slammed into the side of the train and then bounced back into the wall of the tunnel. Even the airbags installed in between the cabins were deployed. Su Ping reacted quickly. He leaned against the wall of the train so he remained unharmed.

He tried to check but failed to see any beasts outside the cabin.

The vibration was because other cabins nearby were under attack!

Speaking of the devil. Su Ping looked at the stone wall outside the glass. The cabin had derailed. With such destruction, the train would be unable to take him to the Holy Light Base City.

Ah, damn the beasts, Su Ping thought. He placed his backpack in the storage space, pushed the door open, and went out. The cabin was tilting. Outside in the hallway, Su Ping saw that people in the other rooms were coming out as well, staggering along. The fancy-clothed common people who had no astral powers had been injured by the bump, some with heads injured and bleeding. Some were even wearing nothing but their underwear. They had just been sleeping at the time.

Some rich people held tight onto the door frame, covered up their injuries, and cried.

“Help!”

“Someone help me!”

“I have money. I will offer one million, no five million to anyone who can protect me!” In the hard seat cabins, the materials would be less resistant and there weren’t any airbags. In a collision like that, the common people would have been killed directly. That was why rich people opted to pay more money to stay in single-bedroom cabins. Who said that money couldn’t buy life?

As the rich people cried and whined, some advanced battle pet warriors ran to them immediately.

The ones who were just screaming without making an offer of money were ignored.

In that chaos, Su Ping saw the spoiled girl, the old man in the black suit, as well as Ji Zhantang and his granddaughter. Those people were all safe and sound. There were astral power shields covering them. The collision was big but any battle pet warrior who was of middle-rank or above would have resisted that.

Of course, unless they were caught completely off guard while sleeping.

Right then, a team of attendants arrived. The middle-aged team leader said solemnly, “Everyone must stay in the cabin and not run away. We have titled battle pet warriors taking care of the beasts already. Leave the cabin at your peril!”

Titled battle pet warriors!

The four words were enough to soothe people’s nerves. The people that were in a fit of panic heaved a sigh of relief. “Since we are faced with a special situation, I’m asking the middle-rank and advanced battle pet warriors to help us out and take care of others. Thank you for your support and I hope you can work together to power through this time,” the team leader added. He glanced over the advanced battle pet warriors and cast a gaze at the old man in the suit and Ji Zhen Tang.

Both were master battle pet warriors, whom the team leader was able to notice because even he was feeling stressed out in front of them.

Following the team leader’s explanation, three advanced battle pet warriors stood out and said they would take care of others.

Truth be told, they would only do so when the situation permitted. For example, in a collision like the previous one, they could stay safe and sound when the collision could be fatal to the general public.

“Anyone who needs protection can come to me,” Ji Zhen Tang shouted to the people near him.

He saw Su Ping who was standing nearby and shouted, “Hey, come on over.”

Su Ping nodded but didn’t go.

He didn’t need anyone to take care of him. He would rather not give more trouble to Ji Zhantang

He nodded to show he appreciated the gesture.

Ji Zhen Tang was surprised to see that Su Ping had declined but didn’t comment on it. However, Ji Qiuyu frowned unhappily. She thought Su Ping was being ungrateful.

On the other hand, the old man in the suit paid no attention to the team leader. He just looked around, highly alerted. As far as he was concerned, he merely had to protect one person and that was his young lady.

Suddenly, Su Ping frowned.

“Oh Gods…”

The old man in the suit turned pale.

At the same time, Ji Zhantang, who was surrounded by the people approaching him for help, suddenly put up an astral power shield that covered up everyone around him.

Boom!!

The cabin shook violently and bumped into the wall outside the tracks again. The reinforced glass that remained intact in the previous impact was shattered!

At the same moment, in the middle of the cabin, a loud noise was heard, and the print of a claw suddenly appeared on the metal ceiling!

This view had stunned everyone. The vulnerable ordinary people were weak in the knees and trembling. Some of the more timid ones had collapsed on the ground, wetted their pants, and were holding on tightly to the ones standing around.

The five attendants didn’t expect that this cabin would also be under attack. Scared by the situation, they summoned their battle pets. Even though the cabin was not small, their battle pets had large sizes and had filled up available space.

Bang!!

The cabin was torn open.

A beast with a sharp horn showed its hideous face through the crack. The next second, a stream of hot lava spilled in from the crack.

“That is…”

The beast merely showed its face for a second but the attendants had recognized it. To their dismay, that seemed to be an eighth-rank beast, a Lava Python.

That was a rare pet of the stone family. The Lava Python had a strong defense like any other pet of the stone family, and at the same time, it was able to use the skills of the fire family. The Lava Python could be said to be quite a difficult pet of the stone family.

“Damn it!”

The team leader summoned a battle pet of the stone family in a hurry. The pet produced many dirt mounds in the cabin, which were rising up to fill up the crack in the ceiling.

However, the crack had just been repaired when the dirt mounds exploded. As it happened, the lava spilled out as well.

Startled, Ji Zhantang summoned another astral power shield. The burning lava fell onto the shield but was unable to burn the shield through A man who wasn’t able to make his way to Ji Zhantang was unprotected. He could do nothing as he watched the lava spilling his way.

The moment the lava was going to fall over him, it took a sharp turn and missed him.

Since everyone was focusing on the beast outside, no one noticed that other than the man himself. He wondered if there was something wrong with his eyes.

Su Ping darted that man a look and turned around.

He had sensed the several eighth-rank beasts that were creating trouble outside the train.

“Sir!” The team leader felt guilty for not being able to block the crack. It was to his relief that no one had gotten hurt. He said to Ji Zhantang and the old man in the suit, “We will protect the others. I am asking you, as master battle pet warriors, to help us out and stall the beasts. The titled battle pet warriors shall be here momentarily.”

The team leader knew that he was unable to stop the Lava Python.

The other passengers turned their gazes to the two as well.

The passengers who had come onboard later in the journey were not aware that the two old men were master battle pet warriors until the team leader said so. They felt a glint of hope rising again in that desperate situation.

Ji Zhantang nodded and said to the team leader, “Sure thing. Help me take care of my granddaughter.” Ji Qiuyu was worried. “Grandpa.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.” Ji Zhantang smiled to comfort her.

On the other hand, the old man in the suit said nothing in reply. It was not his duty to help out. What if something happened to his young lady while he was away? That would be a true disaster!

The team leader was not happy after seeing that the old man in the suit was not offering to help, but there was nothing he could do. He hurried to where Ji Zhantang was, and placed the passengers around Ji Zhantang into the protection of his battle pet, then said to Ji Zhantang gratefully, “Thank you so much, sir.”

“The beasts are attacking us. As a fellow human being, it is my duty to offer a hand.”

Ji Zhantang smiled. Four swirls appeared around him and from them crawled out four massive battle pets.

Two of them were of the element family, one was more skilled in combat and the other one was a subspecies of the dragon family.

The most valuable and powerful one was the pet that belonged to a subspecies of the dragon family. This battle pet had reached the eighth-rank, a rank higher than that of the other battle pets.
