Chen Shu's eyes widened, his mind blank, completely stunned on the spot.
But the next second, he sensed something was wrong.
He looked at the corpse of the giant tiger before him, pondered, and muttered to himself,
"No, this isn't a Great Calamity! It's just an ordinary Golden Fierce Beast!"
Then, he looked at the surrounding volcanic cluster and said, bewildered,
"When did the Forbidden Mist disappear?"
He surveyed his surroundings, his eyes filled with confusion,
As if thinking of something, he looked back and saw that the Forbidden Mist was still lingering not far behind him.
After a moment, Chen Shu finally understood the situation and muttered to himself,
"I actually charged out of the Forbidden Mist just now? And came to another异空间 (yì kōngjiān - alternate dimension)?"
However, he was still extremely confused. He touched the Forbidden Mist in front of him, momentarily disbelieving it was real.
According to common sense, one could only exit the Forbidden Mist using spatial abilities.
If it were this easy to get out, why would legendary Great Calamities be trapped for so many years?
"There's something wrong..."
Chen Shu frowned, even suspecting he had entered a fake Forbidden Mist earlier.
"Could the Forbidden Mist have failed? And the Great Calamity escaped? No wonder I couldn't find it."
He made a simple judgment and then had no time to ponder further.
"Qingxue might be fine, just transported to this alternate dimension..."
Chen Shu looked at his surroundings, sensing the spiritual energy in the air, and coupled with the giant tiger fierce beast from before,
He could conclude that this was at least a Nightmare-level space.
Two Silver-level individuals were still in grave danger here...
According to his guess, the two might be hiding somewhere, as the surroundings were filled with dangerous fierce beasts, and they couldn't find an exit.
Chen Shu didn't hesitate any longer. Riding Little Huang, he charged forward,
At the same time, Erha let out a skyward howl, continuously unleashing various skills as signal flares.
If the two were nearby, they would surely recognize it, as most of Erha's skills were King-tier, not common goods.
A little more than half a day passed.
Deep within a burning cave, two dishevelled beast tamers were hiding.
Beside them, a frost-type silkworm caterpillar was cautiously releasing frost, continuously lowering the temperature inside the cave.
"Qingxue, can we escape?"
A long-haired girl with a delicate expression said, her eyes even showing a hint of despair.
Wang Qingxue remained quite calm and said, "No big problem!"
"..."
The girl looked speechless and said softly, "Qingxue, you talk like a real scoundrel..."
"Do I?"
Wang Qingxue blinked her eyes and said, "But we really have a chance to escape."
"According to my analysis, this is a Nightmare-level alternate dimension. While dangerous, it's not a dead end."
The long-haired girl said, "The problem is, we can't find an exit right now, and we'll be trapped to death sooner or later."
"It won't come to that..."
Wang Qingxue shook her head and said, "When our contracted spirits recover tomorrow, we'll set off!"
"Are you really going to move?"
If they stayed put, their chances of encountering powerful fierce beasts would be low, but if they moved, the danger would skyrocket.
"Follow the Forbidden Mist!"
Wang Qingxue said, appearing very calm:
"If we truly encounter a Lord-level creature, we'll hide in the Forbidden Mist!"
They had also noticed the anomaly with the Forbidden Mist here; not only did it no longer have binding power, but even Great Calamities were nowhere to be seen, making it a natural sanctuary.
After all, fierce beasts harboured a primal fear of the Forbidden Mist, and even Kings dared not approach it.
The girl spoke with a worried expression, "What if we can't find an exit for a long time?"
"It's alright. This is a hunting operation. Strong individuals from our country will surely arrive sooner or later."
Wang Qingxue smiled slightly. Although young, she appeared remarkably composed, inspiring trust in her teammate.
But as the two were conversing, a rustling sound suddenly broke the silence.
"Hmm?!"
Wang Qingxue's expression changed slightly, and she made a shushing gesture, simultaneously signalling the caterpillar beside her to interrupt its skill.
The two held their breath, hiding in the cave, not daring to move at all.
At this moment, faint breathing sounds came from the cave wall above them, as if a fierce beast was searching for something.
Wang Qingxue had already sensed something but maintained absolute composure.
Having killed tens of thousands of fierce beasts alongside Chen Shu, her mindset had changed significantly; at least she no longer feared fierce beasts.
Time ticked by,
The commotion above gradually subsided, and the fierce beast seemed to have disappeared, leaving the surroundings quiet once more.
The long-haired girl breathed a sigh of relief, patting her chest.
Just as she was about to speak, disaster struck!
Whoosh!
The cave wall above was torn apart, revealing a fierce, crimson eye staring intently at the two of them.
Rumble, rumble, rumble—
Wang Qingxue was already prepared. A winged fiery cat beside her unleashed a torrent of flames, directly blasting towards the head above.
"Run!"
Without hesitation, she led the other person towards the cave entrance.
Moments later, the two left the cave, riding a snow-white flying bird, soaring towards the sky.
Roar!
Behind them, a one-eyed giant wolf, enveloped in flames, let out a roar, its eyes filled with bloodlust.
Flames rose in its single eye, and a pair of fiery wings suddenly emerged from its back.
In an instant, its body shot out like a red streak of light, its speed incredibly fast!
The Monocular Rage Wolf was a very special solitary creature. They did not live in packs; on the contrary, they harboured innate hatred for their own kind, engaging in life-and-death combat!
Despite their lack of gregarious habits, their individual combat power was considerable, most comparable to Lord-level beasts of the same tier, allowing them to establish a niche in alternate dimensions.
The Monocular Rage Wolf before them possessed strength comparable to a Gold 1-star Lord!
"Qingxue, it's catching up!"
The long-haired girl looked back, her face instantly turning pale.
In reality, her mental fortitude wasn't this poor, but having gone through multiple life-or-death crises had somewhat shattered her composure.
Wang Qingxue's brow furrowed as she constantly pondered a way to escape.
Seeing the one-eyed giant wolf drawing nearer behind them, her expression hardened, and she said,
"Don't panic, throw a nuke first..."
