Chapter 1073 This Ruffian is Far Too Cautious...

"This is a good skill for clearing out cannon fodder..."

Chen Shu's lips curved upwards. He had deliberately let Little Huang endure the skill, otherwise, he could have easily dodged the attack with the Space Rabbit.

The damage from [Unflinching Counterattack] was negligible to the Black Tree King, but ordinary ferocious beasts couldn't ignore it. They were instantly killed without exception.

"This king will heal you!"

The little elf, carrying a wolf-tooth club, swung it towards Little Huang.

In an instant, a patch of green clouds appeared, raining down life-infused droplets.

Because of its immense size, the clouds continuously shifted, healing Little Huang's injuries.

Before long, Little Huang had completely recovered, back to its peak condition.

The scene before them drove the Black Tree King and the other ferocious beasts to despair.

How could they possibly fight this?

"Your turn..."

Seeing that the remaining ferocious beasts dared not advance, Chen Shu directed his contract spirits' gazes towards the Black Tree King.

The Black Tree King's body trembled, instinctively wanting to flee, but it was relentlessly pursued by the Space Rabbit.

It roared, its withered branches stabbing forward at the Space Rabbit, temporarily forcing it back.

Without hesitation, it slowly burrowed into the swamp, having lost any desire to fight.

However, Chen Shu wouldn't let it go so easily.

"Roar roar!"

The three Huskies let out sky-shattering roars, the fire element within them surging forth again.

Their [Relentless Onslaught] had stacked to its limit, and the skill's power had once again increased significantly.

As the Huskies' strength grew, the augmentation from [Relentless Onslaught] was actually less impactful than before.

The only reason was that the Huskies' current combat power had surpassed the skill's augmentation limit.

However, even so, once fully stacked, it could still increase fire attribute damage by 50%, and the augmentation for other attribute skills was even greater.

*Boom—*

Three colossal meteors plummeted down, crashing towards the Giant Tree King.

Its mind filled with shock and anger, black light permeated its dark eyes, and in moments, a layer of black defensive shield coalesced in front of it.

But it only lasted for about ten seconds before being forcefully shattered by the three meteors.

*Boom, boom, boom—*

Violent sounds erupted, and the swamp where the Giant Tree King stood suddenly exploded, unable to withstand such terrifying high temperatures.

Instantly, a large amount of purplish-black mist rose, obscuring everyone's vision.

"No more movement?"

Chen Shu raised an eyebrow and ordered the Huskies to continue unleashing their skills.

Various elemental skills bombarded the mist ahead, causing larger explosions.

After a while, the purplish-black toxic gas dissipated, revealing the scene within.

A massive, bottomless pit appeared ahead, and the original swamp had vanished, forcibly annihilated by the high temperatures.

And in the pit, the Black Tree King's body lay motionless, as if all life had been extinguished.

In the distance, countless ferocious beasts looked sorrowful, instinctively roaring towards the sky, as if bidding farewell to their monarch.

"It's dead already?"

Chen Shu's expression flickered, a hint of contemplation in his eyes.

"Increase the intensity!"

"Roar roar roar!"

The three Huskies howled, their eyes glowing with various lights, and unleashed another barrage of skills.

Gales, lightning, ice spikes...

The Black Tree King's body exploded, completely devoid of any defensive capabilities, as if it were truly a corpse.

Time slowly passed, and the Huskies still hadn't stopped their assault.

The other three contract spirits watched from afar, not daring to approach the Black Tree King.

Five minutes later, the Black Tree King's body was already shattered into pieces,

But the Huskies continued...

*Boom!*

Three more pillars of death fire shot out, carrying unmatched might.

In an instant, the previously motionless Black Tree King suddenly moved, propping itself up with its shattered body and rolling to the side.

"It's a zombie?"

Chen Shu raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He hadn't been sure if the creature was truly dead, but he simply felt that things weren't that simple.

Moreover, Da Li had told him that its exploded bark did not fall within the category of the monarch's flesh and blood, so Chen Shu had no reservations.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

The Black Tree King's mind raged, even wishing to skin Chen Shu and draw his tendons.

Do you have a necrophilia fetish?

It had already set a trap, its roots buried beneath the mud, with paralyzing nerve poison permeating the surroundings.

As long as a contract spirit approached, it was confident it could instantly kill it!

To make it even more realistic, it had even made the other ferocious beasts simulate a scene of its demise.

But this guy was too cautious...

"Roar!"

The Black Tree King's dark eyes shifted, and its shattered body suddenly exploded.

"Hmm? Self-destruction?"

Chen Shu was slightly taken aback, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

However, the original Black Tree King vanished, leaving behind only a small black tree about ten meters tall, its aura once again greatly enhanced.

"Chen Pi, that's its real body, all monarch flesh and blood!"

Zhang Da Li's gaze was sharp, as if appraising ingredients, already contemplating how to cook it.

"No wonder..."

Chen Shu raised an eyebrow, not expecting the Black Tree King to be so troublesome.

It was a top-tier Silver Monarch itself, and with the help of its ferocious beast subordinates, its overall combat power was not inferior to a Golden Three-star Beast Tamer.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz—"

The Black Tree King's body moved, its twisted branches swaying, emitting a large amount of black gas.

In moments, the black gas permeated an area of several hundred meters, filled with potent poison, making even Golden contract spirits constantly approach.

The Space Rabbit hurriedly pulled back, returning to above Little Huang's head.

At the same time, dozens of Silver Lords from afar lunged forward, charging into the black gas without hesitation and beginning to fight alongside the Black Tree King.

"What's the use of that?"

Chen Shu shook his head and ordered the Huskies to attack again!

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Various elemental skills were unleashed into the mist, and the cries of ferocious beasts could faintly be heard.

The black gas could only block melee contract spirits, but it couldn't block the Huskies' diverse skills.

Lords were killed one after another, and the Huskies' skills were both powerful and widespread, their aftermath alone was more than they could bear.

Just then, Chen Shu's brow furrowed. He had not detected any movement from the Black Tree King for a long time, and he seemed to have realized something.

The Space Rabbit beside him, carrying its specialized weapon, vanished with a teleportation...

Meanwhile, the Black Tree King had silently moved into the mud below, its body perfectly blending in.

Its body gradually sank, as if burrowing underground.

From the moment it recognized Chen Shu's combat power, the Black Tree King had lost all desire to fight, focusing solely on escape.

The command from above was merely for it to deter humans and hold them back; there was no need to risk its life.

"Chiiii chiiii chiiii—"

The Black Tree King silently moved away, leaving only dozens of Lords in the black gas to attract fire.

But just as it thought it could escape smoothly,

Its mind suddenly trembled, and a sense of crisis struck!
