"You better shut up!"
The four of them rushed forward together, covering Chen Shu's mouth tightly.
Muffled sounds emanated.
Chen Shu struggled, unable to utter another word.
Fang Si spoke, "If you promise to stop talking, we'll let go."
Chen Shu nodded quickly.
Only then did they release him, staring intently at Chen Shu, ready to silence him at any moment.
Chen Shu said with a wronged expression, "No, I just wanted to anger it to death."
"Get lost!"
The others scoffed. Who knew what would happen if Chen Shu was allowed to continue speaking.
Chen Shu shook his head and silently moved to the back of the group.
Seeing that he had stopped talking, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief.
A moment later,
The Swift Wind Sparrow, flying at high speed, widened its eyes, as if something incredible had happened.
Its speed suddenly increased by a notch.
The others looked over curiously.
Fang Si asked, "Qingyi, your Swift Wind Sparrow got faster?"
Ning Qingyi was also bewildered.
She turned her head and saw Chen Shu squatting, her eyes wide and filled with shock.
"Damn it, you're a freak?!"
Fang Si and the others looked over, not understanding what had happened.
"Uh, I just scared its butt."
Chen Shu had already pried open the tail feathers of the Swift Wind Sparrow and was holding the tail of the venomous scorpion in his hand.
He didn't stab the creature, but merely lightly brushed it with the sharp scorpion tail.
This was an idea he got from Xu Xingxing's mutated thunderbird.
If he did this to the thunderbird's backside, its speed would definitely increase significantly.
"What kind of crazy idea is that?!"
Fang Si also looked over, not expecting Chen Shu to be so outrageous.
Most importantly, the Swift Wind Sparrow's speed had actually increased.
As they were talking, they had increased their distance from the Poison Scorpion Lord.
Finally, they successfully escaped it!
The group couldn't help but sigh in relief. After three hours of pursuit, they finally landed on the ground.
Whimpers.
The Swift Wind Sparrow was covered in a cold sweat, looking at Chen Shu as if he were a demon.
If Chen Shu had actually stabbed its backside, it might not have developed a psychological shadow.
The problem was that Chen Shu kept rubbing its rear with the scorpion tail without actually stabbing it, which would drive anyone mad.
Ning Qingyi kept pacifying the Swift Wind Sparrow, casting a resentful glance at Chen Shu.
"Senior Ning, no need to praise me. I just thought of it in a moment of crisis. It was all luck."
Chen Shu waved his hand, appearing extremely modest.
While they were talking,
Qiao Yue's expression suddenly changed, a cold sweat breaking out on her forehead. She said,
"It seems we've just escaped the tiger's mouth and fallen into the wolf's den."
As soon as the Demon Eye Crow released its scout skill, it detected a powerful presence.
"Another Silver Lord?"
Fang Si frowned and asked.
Qiao Yue nodded and then said, "But it seems like more than one Silver level. It's the scent of that group from yesterday!"
"Retreat! It's good that they can help hold them off!"
Fang Si said. Regardless of any past grievances, they didn't need to intervene.
Besides, they were no match for a Silver Lord!
Chen Shu's eyes once again presented new options.
[Option One: Seize the opportunity to steal the Silver Lord's treasure! Reward: Wind Blade +1]
[Option Two: Strike the Silver Lord and rescue the person! Reward: Heavenly Poison Flower x3]
[Option Three: Disregard everything and leave. Reward: Two bottles of Black Iron grade wood attribute potions]
Chen Shu was slightly stunned and immediately locked onto the first option.
"Sister Fang Si, I think we should go and see."
Chen Shu said, "We are all Beast Tamers, we should love each other. Even if there were some conflicts before, what does that matter?"
"???"
Fang Si and the other three looked over, their faces filled with question marks.
"How can you say that? And so smoothly?"
"Could he be poisoned by the scorpion?"
"I think he's having an episode!"
If others had said something like this, they wouldn't have been too surprised,
But this was the "Southern River Ruffian"!
It would be a blessing if he didn't add insult to injury,
And now he wanted to put himself in danger to help others?
"Uh..."
Chen Shu said, "Actually, I have some ideas about the Lord's treasure."
Seeing their strange expressions, he quickly explained,
"Of course, that's just a secondary goal! My main objective is still to save people!"
Fang Si and the others nodded. "Understood, we all understand."
"So, shall we take a look?"
Fang Si, after Chen Shu's words, became a little interested.
Their goal was to make money, and since an opportunity had presented itself, they naturally had to seize it.
Moreover, she had a bottle of Berserk Potion, which could be used to escape any predicament, whether for her Blazing Dragon or the Swift Wind Sparrow.
The five of them nodded and were about to head off,
But the Swift Wind Sparrow shook its body, appearing unwilling.
It didn't want to be tormented anymore.
"Huh? You don't want to go?"
Chen Shu picked up the scorpion tail again and walked over with a sinister grin, looking exactly like a cruel servant from the palace.
Instantly, the Swift Wind Sparrow flapped its wings and took off again!
"Now that's obedient!"
Chen Shu patted the Swift Wind Sparrow's head, having completely subdued it.
Ning Qingyi rubbed her head, feeling as though the Swift Wind Sparrow now listened to Chen Shu even more.
The five of them, riding the Swift Wind Sparrow, headed towards the Silver Lord's location.
Ahead, terrifying screeches gradually reached them.
Over a vast swamp, countless black flying insects floated,
Their eyes were scarlet, numbering at least ten thousand.
Although most of them were basic grade, they were still enough to send chills down one's spine.
These were the Venom-Eating Insects from the [Living Wood Swamp]!
Their bloodline level was not high, most of them being level nine ferocious beasts, considered bottom-tier in the [Living Wood Swamp].
However, once a Silver Lord appeared, the swarm would become extremely terrifying, not even flinching when facing a Silver Two Lord.
The sky-filling Venom-Eating Insects were locked in a fierce battle with thirteen contracted spirits.
Any skill from a contracted spirit could kill a large number of them, but new Venom-Eating Insects quickly replaced them, seeming to be endless.
In the center of the swarm,
Six people were gathered together. They were the beast taming group that Fang Si and the others had encountered last night.
Their expressions were grim, protected by thirteen contracted spirits surrounding them.
Someone asked, "Boss, what do we do?"
Zhao Yong's face was unsightly, his expression extremely solemn.
Even as a Silver grade beast tamer, he did not relax at all.
There was a Silver Lord hidden within the swarm, and one wrong step could lead to his demise.
His original plan was to use his own strength to stall the Silver Lord, and then have his teammates steal the medicinal herbs.
Once a Lord appeared among the Venom-Eating Insects, they would use their terrifying numbers to continuously plunder various poison-attribute medicinal herbs!
Currently, the swamp was covered with dense medicinal herbs of all kinds, numbering at least several hundred!
This was why Zhao Yong and the others had risked so much,
But they had failed from the beginning; the swarm's terrifying power exceeded their expectations.
The Venom-Eating Insect Lord had also heavily injured the black flying bird. Although it wasn't fatal, it could no longer fly for extended periods.
Although they had managed to injure the Venom-Eating Insect Lord in the process, the dense swarm was the real threat to them.
"If all else fails, we fight!"
Zhao Yong's eyes held a fierce glint as he prepared to sacrifice his contracted spirits to force a path to survival!
At this moment, Chen Shu and the others had arrived nearby.
"They're in danger! I'm going to save them!"
Chen Shu said righteously, his gaze however fixed directly on the various medicinal herbs in the swamp.
