Somewhere within the ruins,
Liu Feng and Ye Yu were moving forward, their contract spirits having also received the boon of the golden rain, their strength slightly enhanced.
Just then, Liu Feng’s eyes narrowed as he looked ahead.
A dazzling golden light streaked towards them, instantly passing by his side. Its speed was comparable to a peak King-level.
“Holy crap!”
Liu Feng’s body trembled. In the fleeting moment it brushed past him,
He saw the mutated Thunderbird and Xu Xingxing within the golden light!
“What’s going on?!”
Ye Yu was equally shocked, not expecting such a powerful expert to appear in the ruins.
“My student…”
Liu Feng took a deep breath, a hint of worry in his eyes.
“Chen Hanfei?!”
“No…”
Liu Feng shook his head and said, “Another student.”
“??”
Ye Yu’s expression froze. Are all your students freaks?
If he remembered correctly, only Chen Shu was Gold-tier, while the other students were Silver-tier.
But a Silver-tier possessing peak King-level speed? Was this a joke?
“Perhaps the ruins are malfunctioning.”
Liu Feng sighed. While Chen Xing’s Thunderbird was indeed monstrous, it wasn’t this outrageously fast.
He spoke, “Let’s find Chen Shu first!”
“Can you track his location?”
“There’s already a trail ahead.”
Liu Feng pointed at the golden trail left by the Thunderbird, almost certain that Chen Shu and the others were at the end of it.
The two followed the trail, heading straight ahead.
At this moment, the mutated Thunderbird’s eyes displayed the phantom of an Yinglong, its body enveloped in golden light as it continued towards the front of the ruins.
In an instant, it flapped its wings, its speed seemingly reaching its limit. It instantly traversed space and vanished into the ruins…
Xu Xingxing felt his vision spin as he arrived in a new space.
His expression stirred. He found himself atop a mountain peak, surrounded by vast white clouds, as if in the firmament.
Before him was a golden egg, about two meters in size.
The egg was covered in spiderweb-like cracks, and the aura from within was incredibly weak…
It moved slightly, transmitting a thought:
“You have arrived…”
…
“Chen Shu!”
Half a day later, Liu Feng and Ye Yu had found Chen Shu and the others.
Seeing everyone safe, Liu Feng quickly asked, “What’s going on with Xingxing?”
“He might be receiving an inheritance.”
Chen Shu shrugged, not showing much concern in his eyes.
“Is that so?”
Liu Feng was slightly taken aback. Thinking of the starry sky ruins Chen Shu controlled, he felt a sense of relief.
Was another important strategic point emerging?
The current situation was subtly precarious. If major changes were to occur, the ruins would be quite significant.
Just then,
The entire ruin trembled again!
“Hmm?!”
Everyone’s bodies jolted, and they waited for the ruins’ unknown changes.
“Are new rewards coming?”
A Liang’s eyes gleamed with anticipation.
He wished for the ruins to have constant anomalies. After all, with King-level experts by his side, there would be no danger.
In an instant, the clouds in the ruins dissipated, and the space around them began to twist.
Soon, seven spatial passages appeared beside them,
One for each person.
“Huh? Are there stages?”
A Liang blinked, looking at the spatial passages beside him.
“No…”
Liu Feng shook his head and said, “These are exit passages. Don’t you see the ‘Endless Swamp’ outside?”
“Uh…”
A Liang glanced at the passage and could vaguely see the scene on the other side.
“Whoa, they’re kicking us out already?”
They immediately understood the changes in the ruins; it was clearly a push to leave…
A Liang asked, “Chen Pi, what do you say?”
Chen Shu, however, was stunned, his attention already captured by the options that appeared, having missed A Liang’s words.
[Option 1: Leave the ruins! Completion Reward: Large amount of Beast Taming power]
[Option 2: Leave the异空间 'Endless Swamp'. Completion Reward: Skill 'Heal' +1]
[Option 3: Continuously kill the small white flying dragons and head towards the core of the Sky Ruins! Completion Reward: Skill 'True·Rampage Boost' +1 + Medium amount of Beast Taming power + Elemental Beast Lightning Attribute +3%]
“Hmm?”
Chen Shu blinked, his decision instantly made.
The reward for the third option was clearly a tier above, something the first two options couldn’t compare to.
“You guys leave first, I’m staying in the ruins.”
Chen Shu said. Beside his Slime, a small white flying dragon appeared and vanished from its spot in the blink of an eye.
A moment later, another small flying dragon appeared, seemingly to lure Chen Shu into pursuit.
Clearly, the previous rules had reappeared.
Chen Shu did not leave, and neither did the others. Instead, they began chasing their respective small flying dragons, hoping to obtain some rewards.
A Liang, having nothing else to do, explained the rules to Liu Feng and Ye Yu.
Soon, everyone was doing the same thing.
In less than an hour, Chen Shu had already killed a hundred small flying dragons and summoned a ten-meter-tall Great Flying Dragon. The Great Flying Dragon vanished without leaving a trace.
Chen Shu quickly opened Xiao Huang’s information panel, but nothing had changed.
Then he tested Xiao Huang’s various attributes again, and they remained unchanged.
“Hmm? No more rewards?”
His brow furrowed, surprised that this situation had occurred.
“Is that for real?”
Fang Si and the others also looked over, a hint of disappointment in their eyes.
Another half hour passed, and Chen Shu killed another Great Flying Dragon.
“That’s it…”
Chen Shu stated with certainty, though he continued to kill small flying dragons.
His goal was to complete the system options; obtaining rewards from the ruins was secondary.
“Then why aren’t you leaving?”
A Liang, seeing Chen Shu still killing with effort, looked puzzled.
“Just killing for fun…”
Chen Shu shrugged, he couldn’t possibly say he had system quests.
“…”
Everyone’s mouths twitched. Are you just bored?
But then they relaxed; it was normal for this guy to be abnormal…
