"Roar! (Curse you, Chen Shu!)"
At this moment, Chen Shu had already embarked on his journey back. Even though they were tens of thousands of meters apart, he could still hear the tragic roar of the golden dragonfish.
The little sprite emerged and said, "Little Chen, it's thanking you."
"Hmm? Thanking me?"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow and asked, "You can hear that clearly from this far away?"
"I can tell from the tone of voice."
The little sprite sat on Chen Shu's shoulder and added, "When I used to cook food, they would make sounds like that right before they died."
"..."
Chen Shu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded with a solemn expression:
"If you put it that way, it is indeed thanking me."
The two shared a smile, instantly feeling a sense of mutual understanding as if they were fellow 'fierce bandits'...
Soon, with the help of teleportation, Chen Shu returned to the vicinity of the Lingqing Strait.
"Hmm?"
His expression faltered. As he landed, he noticed a deep, dark hue to the soil beneath his feet.
"Corroded by the aura of death?"
He ascended into the sky on Little Yellow and looked down upon the entire strait. The seawater itself seemed to have a faint dark color.
"Have the fierce beasts from the [Death Altar] invaded?"
He murmured to himself, a flicker of unease instantly appearing in his heart.
Hadn't something happened to Fu Ning and the others?
Logically, the invasion of altar beasts had only just begun, and it shouldn't have affected Fu Ning and the others' survival points so quickly.
Unless... the attack was targeted!
Without further hesitation, Chen Shu teleported to the spatial channel deep within the sea.
"Roar!"
As soon as he appeared in the white mist of the channel, a series of roars erupted.
Dozens of faint green lights floated in the white mist, appearing utterly eerie!
Although Chen Shu couldn't see through the white mist, he knew that fierce beasts were all around.
"Kill them all."
His expression was cold as he summoned Er Ha.
*Boom!*
Instantly, flames erupted, dispelling the thick white mist. Faintly visible were ferocious-looking skeletons falling one after another, unable to withstand even a single blow.
A giant skeleton, ten meters in length, wielded a long spear and shield. The green ghost fire in its eyes showed terror.
But in the next second, a [Giant Wind Blade] swept through, forcibly severing its head.
The ghost fire in the giant skeleton's eyes dimmed, then instantly extinguished, its body turning into cold, shattered bones.
Although Chen Shu hadn't had much dealings with undead fierce beasts, he accurately discerned their fatal weaknesses.
"Something really did happen..."
Chen Shu moved to the front of the giant skeleton's corpse and retrieved a green bead from its broken skull – its beast-taming pearl!
"Little Yellow, take the front!"
His expression was vigilant as he summoned all his contracted spirits.
"Guji!"
Little Yellow hopped energetically, buffing itself with various skills. The little sprite beside it also unleashed its abilities, pushing its defense to its peak.
Chen Shu and his other contracted spirits hid inside Little Yellow's mouth, then took a step into the channel.
The scenery shifted.
As soon as they appeared in the异空间 (different dimension), Little Yellow was bombarded with attacks.
However, with its nigh-invincible defense, it easily withstood them all.
Chen Shu took the opportunity to survey their surroundings. All four directions were teeming with various undead fierce beasts, and the aura of death washed over them, causing discomfort.
Among them, the most striking was a powerful shadow giant. Its body was extremely slender, like a tens-of-meters-tall bamboo pole, but it had no head and exuded a terrifying undead aura!
"King rank, two-star lord?"
Chen Shu's brow furrowed. He hadn't expected such a formidable creature to be guarding the entrance!
*Roar!*
The shadow giant's body contorted, and a chilling howl emanated from its abdomen.
But in the next second, five meteoric firestones instantly sent it flying over a hundred meters, its oppressive aura vanishing in an instant...
"What's with the pretense?"
Chen Shu sneered. The five Er Has beside him had red eyes, constantly shaking their heads, their internal elements raging.
Fortunately, with the little sprite's [Death Resurrection], the side effects of Er Has's berserk potions had vanished.
Just then, an immense shadow gradually appeared beneath Little Yellow's feet.
*Buzz—*
The shadow surged upwards, weaving into a large net that covered Little Yellow!
*Boom boom boom!*
The five Er Has directly unleashed [Death Fire Pillars], once again suppressing the shadow creature to the ground.
But even so, its aura remained ferocious, undiminished.
"Its vitality is quite strong?"
Chen Shu's brow furrowed. Unless he could find its weak spot, it would inevitably be a prolonged battle.
"Saving Dali is the priority!"
The spatial rabbit's eyes flickered, bestowing various spatial imprints upon Chen Shu and his other contracted spirits.
In the next instant,
Chen Shu and his party vanished from their original positions, instantly appearing near the survival point in the Northern Spiritual Kingdom.
At this moment, the entire valley was shrouded in darkness, and the giant peaks on both sides had collapsed. The original survival point had been reduced to ruins. Faintly, human roars could be heard.
And from all directions, fierce beasts that blotted out the sky had encircled them, filling the heavens and earth with a murderous aura!
"Damn it! Attacking the base?!"
Chen Shu looked at the scene before him. The thought of Dali still being inside instantly ignited his fury!
Without any hesitation, he fed the spatial rabbit half a bottle of berserk potion.
In an instant, its spatial attributes surged, and the little sprite also bestowed skills upon it, further enhancing its attributes!
"Whoosh whoosh~"
The spatial rabbit's expression hardened, and it directly transformed into a rabbit war god!
With a thought, its spatial power surged like a tide, transforming into a vast barrier in an instant, covering a radius of tens of thousands of meters!
This was the domain skill [Domain of Little Space] gifted by Old Qiao!
"???"
For a moment, tens of thousands of undead fierce beasts were stunned, their eyes filled with confusion.
Chen Shu didn't give them time to react. He instantly produced bottle after bottle of explosive potions, counting roughly a hundred bottles.
"Go to hell!"
Chen Shu smiled slightly, instructing the spatial rabbit to release a spatial portal, transporting all the 'nukes' to the center of the fierce beasts.
Er Ha opened its mouth and spewed out a fireball, instantly igniting the hundred-odd bottles of nukes!
The purpose of [Domain of Little Space] was not to trap the fierce beasts but to forcibly compress the power of the nukes!
One hundred bottles of nukes stacked within a small area. Even golden-tier fierce beasts found it difficult to withstand...
In an instant, an extremely brilliant white light appeared!
The bodies of countless undead fierce beasts trembled. They were called the undead, but they were still life, not mindless dead objects, and thus naturally felt fear.
Their expressions were filled with terror, as if they had smelled the true aura of death!
