"Young Master Yu, he's going to the Icefire Forest?!"
Someone asked with a confused expression, "Isn't that a nightmare-level异空间 (yìkōngjiān)?"
"Alright, don't mention him!"
Yu Yi shook his head. Principal Qin Tian had issued an order not to spread information about Chen Shu.
Although he didn't say it directly, everyone had already formed some ideas.
Those below the Silver level couldn't enter the Icefire Forest. Coupled with Yu Yi's fear of him,
It was clear that the legend of the Southern River Bandit was true...
...
The next morning, Chen Shu packed his backpack and took a car to the [Icefire Forest].
Unlike other 异空间 (yìkōngjiān), the spatial passage to the Icefire Forest was located in a bustling area of the city.
However, a small town had also been built, and ordinary people were not allowed to approach it.
Icefire Town.
Chen Shu took out his ID card and successfully entered the town with his Beast Master identity.
Because it was located in a prosperous area of the city, the town also had high-rise buildings and a strong guard presence.
After all, it was within the city. If it were invaded by fierce beasts, the casualties would be immeasurable.
As Chen Shu walked through the town, a voice called out to him...
"Little Chen!"
"Hmm?"
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback. He saw a man in military uniform walking over, his face filled with unassailable authority.
"Who are you?"
Chen Shu's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but think: Could they be here to arrest me?
"I am Jiang Mo, the commander of the Town Spirit Army stationed at the Icefire Forest!"
The middle-aged man smiled slightly and extended his right hand.
"Greetings, Commander Jiang!"
Seeing the other party's friendliness, Chen Shu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your academy's principal informed me in advance."
Commander Jiang smiled and said, "Truly a young hero. Principal Qin has a very high evaluation of you!"
"What does the principal say about me?"
Chen Shu was a little curious, wanting to hear the praise from a King-level Beast Master.
"He says... he says..."
This stumped Jiang Mo. He thought for a moment and said,
"He says you are the most professional... wherever you go, not a blade of grass grows, truly a human 'Hundred Grass Withers'!"
"???"
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. Was this really a compliment?
Commander Jiang spoke, "The principal said you're also quite impatient. Shall we head straight to the 异空间 (yìkōngjiān)?"
He wasn't worried about wasting time, but Chen Shu's presence in the town made him a bit nervous.
What if the other party wanted to test something and caused trouble in the town first?
"Alright!"
Chen Shu nodded, unaware of the other party's hidden thoughts.
The two of them headed directly towards the mist deep within the town.
Onlookers on the road cast sideways glances, their eyes filled with respect for Jiang Mo and immense curiosity for Chen Shu.
After all, he was so young!
"By the way, Commander Jiang, how did you recognize me at a glance?"
Chen Shu asked. He had just arrived in town, and they found him so quickly.
"Principal Qin told me that the person with the most distinguished aura in the crowd would definitely be you!"
"Really?"
Chen Shu's lips curved, and he couldn't help but smile, feeling a little smug.
"Old Qin might not be the most capable professionally, but at least his judgment is good!"
"..."
Jiang Mo's mouth twitched. So he's directly calling him 'Old Qin' now.
In fact, Qin Tian's original words to him were: Just look for someone with the demeanor of an international criminal, and you'll find him without fail...
As they chatted, they had already reached the depths of the town.
White mist billowed ahead, concealing the spatial passage.
"Commander Jiang!"
The soldiers at the entrance saluted, their eyes filled with respect.
"Thank you for your hard work!"
Jiang Mo nodded and stepped into the white mist with Chen Shu.
"No entrance fee, that's great..."
Chen Shu thought to himself, saving quite a bit of money.
"Little Chen, the spatial passage is just ahead. Have you prepared your daily necessities?"
Jiang Mo said, "The environment in the Icefire Forest is extremely harsh..."
Chen Shu nodded, indicating that he was well-prepared.
He stepped into the spatial passage, and a feeling of dizziness washed over him.
The two of them arrived in the [Icefire Forest].
Huuu~~
A gust of cold wind blew, and Chen Shu immediately shivered.
He quickly put on a specially made jacket filled with special material that could regulate temperature automatically.
Although he could endure it with his Silver-level physique, there was no need to.
"Is this a nightmare-level 异空间 (yìkōngjiān)?"
Chen Shu looked into the distance. Heavy snow was falling like goose feathers, and everything was covered in a layer of silver.
The sky was a dull gray, with poor visibility, accompanied by howling cold winds, exuding a sense of inexplicable danger.
"It really is a bit dangerous..."
Chen Shu muttered to himself. Small wooden houses were built around him, serving as resting places for the Town Spirit Army.
"If you encounter danger, return to the base directly!"
Commander Jiang looked at Chen Shu and then seemed to remember something, saying,
"Of course, if all the fierce beasts in the entire 异空间 (yìkōngjiān) are hunting you, we'll try to lure them towards the Japanese territory's base..."
"..."
Chen Shu's mouth twitched, and he said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine!"
He summoned his three contracted spirits and sat on the head of a slime.
"Let's go!"
Chen Shu shouted and sped off in a direction...
"A prodigy of the new era?"
Jiang Mo muttered to himself. Every era produced brilliant geniuses who could support the future of the country.
Just as he was sighing, his expression suddenly froze.
He saw Chen Shu heading directly towards the base's armory...
"What the hell!"
Jiang Mo couldn't help but curse and shout,
"What are you doing, you brat?"
"Uh... sorry... occupational hazard..."
Saying that, Chen Shu changed direction and left the Town Spirit Army's base.
"Occupational hazard, my foot..."
Jiang Mo's mouth twitched, and he was about to lose his composure.
He was initially distrustful of Chen Shu, thinking that a college student couldn't accomplish much.
But now, it seemed this guy could really stir up big trouble...
