Wang Jue’s gray little bird flew over, approaching the lord’s corpse.
Its eyes glowed with a skill, and it immediately swallowed the corpse whole.
“Three million deposited!”
A smile graced Chen Shu’s lips. Since ordinary ferocious beasts no longer held the power to deter, he could focus on hunting lords.
“Gurgle!”
The slime roared, choosing not to defend but to charge further in.
Opportunities were precious now, and they couldn’t be wasted!
“Don’t be reckless!”
Instructor Xu Shan shouted, surprised by the recklessness of Chen Shu and the others.
Within the stronghold, Wang Zhenlong’s protection meant no accidents would occur.
However, venturing deep into the beast horde was fraught with peril.
Chen Shu ignored him and directly left the peak where the stronghold was located.
“These brats!”
Wang Zhenlong, mounted on a golden tiger, guarded the northern defense line.
His brows furrowed. If the four of them met with an accident, he, as the chief instructor, would definitely be held responsible.
But currently, his contracted spirits needed to defend the stronghold and couldn’t leave without authorization, lest the stronghold be breached.
Four Golden-tier contracted spirits each guarded a direction.
To hold the stronghold, he had even summoned two heavily injured contracted spirits.
Fortunately, although the spatial anomaly was raging, the King-tier ferocious beasts of the Arid Stone Forest seemed to have not appeared.
Boom boom boom!
The giant golden slime crashed wildly.
Any ferocious beast it hit was severely injured and vomited blood, some even crushed into a pulp.
Ordinary ferocious beasts showed no killing intent, merely charging blindly towards the stronghold.
This scene infuriated the lord beasts, forcing them to face the onslaught alone.
The outcome was as expected; the combination of the slime and the husky was incredibly powerful, easily crushing the Black Iron lords.
To save time, Chen Shu specifically targeted Black Iron One-star and Black Iron Two-star lords.
The biggest obstacle to hunting lords was their hundreds or thousands of subordinates.
However, due to the lure potion, the subordinates had turned traitor.
The lord beasts’ own combat power was not terrifying; their strength was equivalent to geniuses from Huaxia University.
Facing an anomaly like Chen Shu, there was naturally a gap.
Time passed gradually.
Chen Shu and the others had already moved far away from the stronghold.
Looking around, they were surrounded by densely packed ferocious beasts.
A Liang and Xie Fengyu had already recalled their contracted spirits to their beast-taming spaces.
Facing Black Iron lords, their contribution was minimal.
The slime’s Gigantification had been used multiple times.
Whenever the skill cooled down, Chen Shu would wait quietly.
As long as they didn’t attack, the lord beasts wouldn’t bother them either.
“Three of a kind!”
“Pass!”
A Liang and the other two were bored to death. Wearing headlamps, they played cards inside Xiao Huang’s mouth.
They had no sense of participation in this battle, not even the interest to spectate.
“Chen Pi, notify us when it’s over!”
“…”
Chen Shu ignored the trio, keeping his head outside, focusing on commanding the two contracted spirits in battle.
“Roar roar roar!”
The two huskies spat out death flame pillars again,
suppressing a lord beast on the ground, roasting it like a whole lamb.
“Hmm?”
Just then, several ferocious beasts turned their heads and used skills on the slime.
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback, not expecting some ordinary ferocious beasts to be unaffected by the lure potion.
“No, is the potion’s effect wearing off?”
He stroked his chin and immediately realized something.
At that moment, the two death flame pillars ended, and the lord beast was also on its last breath.
The slime rolled over it, directly finishing it off.
“Little Chen, well done!”
The gray little bird flapped its wings and collected the lord’s corpse into its belly.
“Return!”
Chen Shu didn’t hesitate. Once the lure potion’s effect wore off, a crisis would likely arise.
Xiao Huang, relying on its massive size, headed towards the stronghold.
“You guys played cards all day!”
Chen Shu returned to the slime’s giant mouth; his command of the battle was no longer needed.
“What else were we supposed to do? Cheer you on?”
A Liang yawned, appearing thoroughly bored.
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow and said,
“I’ve been killing from morning till evening without blinking, and you guys don’t even care?”
“Oh.”
A Liang nodded and asked solicitously, “Are your eyes dry then?”
“??”
Chen Shu froze, then exclaimed, “I said I kill beasts without blinking, and you’re asking if my eyes are dry?!”
Boom!
Just then, the four of them swayed, even tumbling a couple of times, feeling instantly dizzy.
“Damn it!”
Chen Shu shook his head, a sense of unease creeping into his heart.
The slime had suffered damage?!
Simultaneously, an option appeared before his eyes.
[Option One: Encountered a formidable enemy. Consume an invisibility potion yourself and abandon the other three to flee. Completion Reward: Jump Skill proficiency upgraded to Master level.]
[Option Two: Embody the spirit of a fierce bandit of Nanjiang and grovel for mercy! Completion Reward: A large amount of Beast Taming Power.]
[Option Three: Successfully counter-kill and safely return to the stronghold! Completion Reward: Gigantification skill increased by one.]
With the crisis upon them, Chen Shu had no time to examine the options.
He forcibly stabilized his body, causing the slime to open its colossal mouth and look outside.
They saw that the slime was already cracked all over, with copious amounts of colorless blood flowing down.
Despite being in a sleeping kill state, its expression was incredibly weak.
“Who are you?!”
Chen Shu’s heart trembled as his gaze fixed on a spot a hundred meters ahead.
A middle-aged man with an ordinary face was stepping on a giant green bird, his eyes filled with indifference.
Chichichichi!
The green bird’s eyes glowed with a skill, and several terrifying wind blades were condensed.
Clearly, the slime had been severely wounded by the wind blades.
“Silver-tier?”
Chen Shu’s heart sank. He hadn’t expected to encounter such a grave crisis.
The other party’s gaze made him realize that he was definitely not here to teach him a lesson but to kill him outright.
“You dare to assassinate members of the Spirit Suppression Army. Do you understand the consequences?!”
Chen Shu shouted loudly, seemingly trying to ward off the other party.
“The organization hates someone so much, and he’s this childish?”
The middle-aged man sneered, giving him no chance at all.
Chichichichi!
In an instant, the wind blades were fully formed, striking like blades, filled with terrifying cutting power.
“Your ancestors’ graves exploded!!”
“?”
The middle-aged man’s expression turned furious,
but in that instant, an anomaly occurred!
A terrifying flame pillar suddenly appeared from below.
A sinister smile played on Chen Shu’s lips.
As long as he could kill the individual, it didn’t matter how powerful his contracted spirit was.
“What?!”
The middle-aged man’s expression was greatly shaken, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Screech!
At the critical moment, the green bird’s body moved, blocking part of the flame pillar’s impact.
The flame pillar shot towards the sky, emanating intense heat.
“Ah!”
The middle-aged man couldn’t help but cry out in pain, his eyes filled with overwhelming coldness.
Although the death flame pillar didn’t kill him, his right hand had vanished, and his body was engulfed in flames.
The intense pain made him almost lose his mind.
At this moment, a giant blue snake appeared.
Hiss!
The giant snake released frost from its mouth, freezing parts of its master’s body, which then extinguished the flames.
“I’ll kill you!”
The middle-aged man’s expression was pained, his cracked body turning completely black.
Although the frost temporarily stabilized his injuries, he needed to return to Blue Star for treatment as soon as possible.
In that instant, several more fireballs attacked from below.
Bang bang bang!
The green bird was already on guard and took them all directly.
“A Black Iron-tier can comprehend such a high-level invisibility skill?!”
The middle-aged man’s expression was incredibly grim.
As expected, everything had to be judged by actual performance; the intelligence information was completely rubbish!
