"Roar!"
The Fire Dragon King, bathed in lava, was furious.
Its territory had been thrown into utter disarray, and as its king, it could not tolerate such chaos!
The Fire Dragon King's gaze pierced through countless lava flows, locking onto Chen Shu and the others.
"Roar!"
A series of roars erupted. The surrounding Silver Lords, ignoring the gushing lava, pursued Chen Shu.
"Reward acquired: Death Fire Pillar +1!"
Chen Shu grinned, his body standing tall at the forefront of the Thunder Bird.
He spoke, "Are the four of you really necessary for this?"
A Liang and the other three remained prostrate on the bird's back, unable to withstand the impact of the explosive potions.
"As expected of you, truly magnificent!"
A Liang and the other three noticed that the explosive potion's effect had ended and gradually straightened up.
Their gazes were peculiar as they looked at Chen Shu's back.
The four suppressed their laughter and said, "To be honest, your getup is rather exquisite!"
Chen Shu appeared normal from the front,
but his patient suit, from back to trousers, had been torn to shreds, revealing his back and thighs, with his underwear clearly visible…
A Liang muttered, "Some people disguise their true nature under the guise of showing off..."
"..."
Chen Shu sighed and said, "Xiao Xing, your patient suit still needs improvement!"
"Improvement my ass! What patient suit can withstand the impact of a nuclear bomb?"
Xu Xingxing twitched his mouth. Who told you to show off like that?
"Alright! Old Wang, get me a new set of clothes!"
Chen Shu held a bottle of yellow potion and said,
"Later, you all come touch me..."
"???"
The four exchanged peculiar glances, their eyes all converging on him. What kind of absurd phrasing was that?
Had this guy been fried by a nuclear bomb and gone insane?
"No time for explanations, everyone get in!"
Chen Shu opened the teleportation potion, preparing to take a large gulp and return to the vicinity of the outpost.
But at that moment, a terrified roar sounded.
Chen Shu and the others froze, turning to look behind them.
"Hm?"
Chen Shu's eyes narrowed. He saw that the Fire Dragon King and other fierce beasts were enveloped by the Forbidden Mist!
"What's going on?"
His expression was stunned. He had never encountered mobile spatial forbidden mist before.
He was unaware that the [Blazing Volcano] had only recently been born, making the spatial forbidden mist unstable.
Due to the explosive potions and countless volcanic eruptions, the terrain had drastically changed, causing a slight shift in the spatial forbidden mist.
"The forbidden mist isn't stable?"
Although Chen Shu didn't fully understand, he could discern something.
Unlike normal forbidden mist, he could faintly see the Fire Dragon King's body and the visual effects of various powerful skills.
"What's inside?"
Chen Shu strained his eyes, trying to see what was within the forbidden mist.
"Roar!"
At this moment, a tragic roar echoed, followed by silence.
"Could it be that a Silver Lord died?"
The five of them swallowed in unison. The forbidden mist ahead was faint, clearly not the complete form of the forbidden mist, yet it had instantly annihilated a Silver Lord.
"Chen Pi, what do you think?"
"Use your eyes!"
"..."
Chen Shu was actually a little scared.
All living creatures possess an almost instinctive fear of the unknown.
"Huh? My vision seems a bit blurry?"
Chen Shu blinked, feeling as if his eyes were covered in dust.
But the next moment, his body trembled. He saw that the five of them were also enveloped in a faint white mist.
However, it was only then that they realized.
"We didn't run immediately?!"
The expressions of the five were horrified. Their minds seemed to have been captivated.
"Damn it, this mist is problematic!"
A Liang cursed, a trace of fear and panic in his eyes.
Even the strongest psychological fortitude could barely hold on. This was the spatial forbidden mist that made even King-level Beast Tamers tremble!
The five could no longer hear the roars of beasts outside the forbidden mist. The surroundings were deathly quiet, as if they had entered another dimension.
Forbidden mist could serve as a border to an alternate dimension; its essence was likely spatial.
"Don't panic, don't be afraid!"
Chen Shu comforted the other four. As soon as he finished speaking, his body instantly vanished.
"Holy crap! Where did he go?!"
The four were startled, their eyes growing more fearful.
"Did the Fierce Bandit disappear so quickly?!"
However, Chen Shu had already appeared outside the forbidden mist. He kept examining the yellow potion in his hand.
"The system's potions are still the most potent!"
Chen Shu sighed, then stroked his chin and muttered to himself,
"I feel like I've forgotten something... Uh... Where are the others?"
Just as A Liang and the others were mourning the demise of the Southern Jiang Fierce Bandit, Chen Shu's figure reappeared behind the four.
"Do you think the Fierce Bandit went to heaven or hell?"
Xu Xingxing sighed. Trapped in the forbidden mist, all they could do was resign themselves to fate!
"What do you think?"
The three turned to look and said, "Don't ask such obvious questions!"
Xiao Xing spoke, "I don't think it's necessarily the case?"
"Not necessarily?"
A Liang raised an eyebrow and said,
"I remember a legend. After death, angels and demons play cards beside you. The angel's cards are the good deeds you've done, and the demon's cards are the bad deeds. The winner determines whether you go to heaven or hell!"
"Chen Shu's angel only managed to play a three, while the demon directly threw out half a pound of straight flushes. Do you think there's any dispute over the winner?"
"..."
The three twitched their mouths. Although it was a bit absurd, it seemed somewhat reasonable.
"Are you insulting me with the truth?"
At that moment, A Liang's body trembled, and he heard a familiar voice.
A Liang and the others looked back and saw Chen Shu standing calmly.
The four exclaimed, "You're not dead?!"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow and said, "You all seem quite disappointed?"
"I knew it!"
Xie Sunan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Good people don't live long, but calamities last for a thousand years. The Fierce Bandit couldn't possibly die so easily!"
"??"
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. Was she complimenting him or scolding him?
"Alright, recall your contracted spirits. Everyone touch me, prepare to leave!"
Chen Shu said. Even with the teleportation potion, he had no desire to explore the forbidden mist.
The four rejoiced and tightly grabbed Chen Shu, as if they had grasped a savior.
"What the hell! Are you guys sick?"
The four clung to him like octopuses, and Chen Shu immediately fell over.
"Say it again, just touching me is enough! No need to grab my butt, no need to dig in my nose!"
Chen Shu shook them off and simultaneously drank a large gulp of the yellow potion.
At the same time, all contracted spirits were recalled into their beast-taming spaces.
But in that instant, a gigantic, massive cyan claw emerged from the mist and lunged towards the five!
ps: Happy New Year's Day, everyone!!
