The mutated Thunderbird, with all its skills activated, charged headfirst into the passage.
Their vision blurred, and they were instantly transported to another space.
A scorching heat washed over them, and the dry air was incredibly uncomfortable, carrying a pungent, acrid scent.
They had no time to adapt to the new environment; the mutated Thunderbird immediately spread its wings and soared upwards.
Roar, roar, roar!
In an instant, countless terrifying roars intertwined, soaring into the sky, striking fear into their hearts.
Chen Shu finally began to survey their surroundings.
As expected, it was a volcanic异空间 (yì kōng jiān -異空間)!
Bare mountain peaks stretched in undulating waves, covered only by sparse fire-elemental vegetation.
Scorching hot air continuously billowed from the mountain passes, making the very sky appear fire-red.
Below them, numerous ferocious beasts howled towards the sky, eager to devour them and the bird whole.
What the heck! So many fierce beasts?!
Chen Shu immediately took out a grey potion, his eyes brimming with eagerness.
"No, this is too close to the passage. It'll affect Blue Star, and we might not be able to escape!"
Fang Si immediately raised her hand, stopping the explosive genius before her.
Chen Shu nodded, "I completely agree!"
"Agreed so readily?"
Fang Si raised an eyebrow. She saw Chen Shu's gaze fixed on the distance, his face filled with avarice, so much so that he was practically drooling.
"Huh?"
She followed Chen Shu's gaze and saw clusters of precious fire-elemental medicinal herbs growing on the distant mountain peaks.
Fire Spirit Flowers, Blazing Fire Fruits, Blazing Flame Vines...
Chen Shu's eyes gleamed, his body even trembling slightly.
"You can see that clearly from this far?! And identify them one by one?"
Fang Si's eyes widened. "You're too outrageous!"
Roar!
In an instant, a gigantic fiery red tail swept towards them.
The mutated Thunderbird narrowly dodged it, its eyes filled with fear.
Both of them startled and simultaneously looked towards the beast pack below.
A colossal, reddish-scaled lizard with indifferent and ferocious eyes stared at them.
"Silver Lord! Let's flee first!"
Chen Shu patted the mutated Thunderbird, and the two of them immediately headed into the depths of the space.
Roar!
The giant lizard below pursued relentlessly, its massive body smashing through countless fierce beasts as it kept pace with the mutated Thunderbird.
The other beasts could only watch the lizard's tyrannical advance, daring not to speak out in anger.
"Seriously? A crawling creature dares to chase us?"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow. Without his command, the mutated Thunderbird unleashed its specialty.
Ptooey!
A glob of saliva was spat down, landing precisely on the lizard's head.
Simultaneously, the mutated Thunderbird wagged its tail, filled with a sense of accomplishment. It hadn't expected to provoke a Silver Lord.
Chen Shu grinned. "Little one, you wanted to chase, didn't you? Even if we can't beat you, we'll disgust you to death!"
However, in the next moment, both of them turned pale, and the mutated Thunderbird also trembled.
The giant lizard's expression became enraged, its back scales split open, radiating a fiery glow.
Boom, boom, boom!
Instantly, its countless scales spat out a barrage of fireballs, like a machine gun, sweeping towards the mutated Thunderbird.
"What the heck! Are you cheating?! You're so overpowered!"
The mutated Thunderbird shrieked and sped forward.
But the giant lizard lord was not to be outdone. Its stout limbs pumping, its speed completely matched.
Seeing the fireballs about to hit, Chen Shu admitted he was a little panicked.
"Fly higher, you idiot!"
The mutated Thunderbird understood and ascended once more.
However, the giant lizard's fireballs surprisingly also rose higher.
"Where's your new skill? Use it quickly!"
The mutated Thunderbird heard this, its eyes glowing with skill energy.
Every feather seemed to shimmer with lightning, truly transforming into a Thunder Bird!
Caw!
In an instant, the Thunderbird's speed surged, leaving everything far behind.
"Holy cow! That's fast!"
Chen Shu and Fang Si tightly gripped the back feathers to avoid falling.
Roar!
The giant lizard roared, its eyes filled with unwillingness and fury. It could no longer pursue.
With a flick of its massive tail, it instantly shattered several Black Iron level fierce beasts.
It was truly enraged by its inability!
"Damn, that was close! Are Silver Lords this monstrous? It's like it had a Gatling gun on its back."
Chen Shu let out a sigh of relief, his gaze then shifting to the various herbs on the mountain peaks.
"We're rich! Little Thunder, quick, for every herb, I'll reward you with a female bird!"
The mutated Thunderbird's spirits lifted upon hearing this, and it let out an excited cry.
The two of them continuously harvested various medicinal herbs, all of which Chen Shu stuffed into urea bags.
Chen Shu and the mutated Thunderbird let out excited cries, like primitives, continuously plundering resources.
In a short time, all five urea bags were filled and tied to the mutated Thunderbird's back.
Seeing Chen Shu pull out another bag,
Fang Si's eyes widened. "How many urea bags do you even have?!"
"Little Thunder, fly further. There must be more herbs in the depths!"
Chen Shu was incredibly excited. This was practically gold everywhere!
The mutated Thunderbird's speed was astonishing. Even without the boost from its new skill, it could still outrun most Black Iron level fierce beasts.
For a moment, the already calm异空间 (yì kōng jiān -異空間) was stirred into a tempest.
Behind the mutated Thunderbird, countless fierce beasts charged, like a dense, surging tide.
Anyone with weaker mental fortitude would likely have wet themselves on the spot!
Chen Shu, however, remained completely calm, continuously harvesting various medicinal herbs.
Another three urea bags were filled, all with fire-elemental herbs. The value of a single plant could easily reach hundreds of thousands.
Chen Shu greedily said, "Let's go deeper, there must be better stuff!"
"Stop flying around! Let's get to business!"
Fang Si sobered up. If they delayed any further, unexpected incidents might occur.
"Sister Fang Si, opportunities don't wait, and time doesn't stop!"
Chen Shu said with confidence, "Don't worry, when I, the ferocious bandit of Nanjiang, arrive, what beast wouldn't retreat three paces?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, disaster struck!
In an instant, a terrifying fiery claw swooped down.
The mutated Thunderbird flapped its wings, narrowly dodging it.
"Are there really beasts unafraid of death?"
Chen Shu looked down and saw a leopard covered in flames roaring towards the sky, its fearsome aura sweeping towards them.
Roar!
From another direction, a flame-red, two-headed Fire Hound roared.
Its skill glowed, and another wave of fire rained down!
The mutated Thunderbird trembled. It appeared calm as an old dog, but it was actually terrified.
It couldn't withstand the skills of a Silver Lord at all.
Roar!
Further away, a colossal, entirely fire-red ape roared towards the sky, a halo of scorching flames swirling around it, its aura equally formidable.
"What the heck! Three Silver Lords?"
Chen Shu swallowed, feeling like he had pushed his luck too far.
He had just boasted that no beast would dare to retreat three paces, and now three had appeared.
The retribution came as fast as a tornado!
Roar, roar, roar!
Meanwhile, because the Thunderbird had stopped, the fierce beasts that had been pursuing them also caught up.
The countless beasts below opened their massive jaws, drooling, appearing ravenously hungry.
"At this distance, we can destroy the space passage without causing too much damage to Blue Star."
"Don't panic! I'll feed you now!!"
