"Damn, is this guy having a seizure?"
Xie Sunan cautiously poked his head out, his expression even more furtive than Chen Shu beside him.
He stared at the blood-soaked Purple-tailed Wind Leopard Lord, his face a question mark.
"Of course... not!"
Chen Shu pouted. The opponent had simply run headfirst into his skill.
It was the system-rewarded skill, [Spatial Barrier].
Though it only lasted for one second, its defensive strength was extremely high.
For a scoundrel like him, any skill could be twisted into something new.
Who said this skill could only be used for defense?
Leveraging the obscurity of the [Spatial Barrier], he had successfully made a severely wounded lord smash itself to death against it...
"Roar!"
At this moment, over a thousand Purple-tailed Wind Leopards roared, their eyes filled with burning killing intent, looking as if they would never rest until they were dead!
"Hmm?"
Chen Shu's expression was calm, a faint smile playing on his lips. He even crawled out of Xiao Huang's mouth.
"Damn, Chen Pi, are you trying to die?!"
Xie Sunan's expression turned to shock. He had never seen anyone so fearless of death.
However, in the next second,
The thousand-plus Purple-tailed Wind Leopards glared at him, then turned and fled in unison, without a hint of hesitation...
Fierce beasts, after all, are 'loyal and righteous' beings!
"Uh..."
Xie Sunan's mouth twitched. "You and them are really... the same kind!"
"???"
Chen Shu turned to look at him. "What do you mean by that? Are you insulting me?"
Before Xie Sunan could explain, he was directly interrupted.
"If it were me, I would have run long ago! How would I have had time to put on an act?"
"..."
Xie Sunan was speechless. So I was flattering you, was I...
Chen Shu turned to look at the lord's corpse and couldn't help but grin.
"A big haul!"
He took out the Beast Taming Pearl and core materials, along with a large piece of delicious flesh.
As for the remaining flesh, Xiao Huang swallowed it all in one go.
"It's getting late now. We'll hunt again tomorrow!"
At night, certain fierce beasts would be strengthened. If they encountered a strengthened Silver Lord, it would be a bit troublesome.
Chen Shu patted Xiao Huang. He chose not to return to Beiyu City.
The time spent traveling back and forth was considerable.
Besides, did the Southern River Scoundrel ever fear a mere beast pack?
He commanded Xiao Huang to float high into the sky, and above them, he lit a bonfire.
The two of them settled down and began to feast on roasted beast meat.
An hour later,
"It's still great to follow you for a meal! Awesome!"
Xie Sunan patted his stomach, his face full of satisfaction.
"Is it that serious? You look like you've never eaten meat before."
Chen Shu pouted and said, "You're my brother, yet you're living so miserably!"
"Alas, I gave a lot of the resources I earned to my dad, hoping he could break through to the Black Iron level, get stronger, and have a comfortable retirement."
"That's great, Old Xie!"
Chen Shu patted his shoulder, his own thoughts drifting.
His father, Chen Ping, had beast-taming talent. If he piled on resources, perhaps he could also become a Black Iron level cultivator.
He stroked his chin, thinking, 'But my dad's talent is a bit ridiculous! A single Monarch Pearl only advanced him by one level. To reach the Black Iron level, do I have to sell the academy?'
Xie Sunan patted his chest proudly.
"Of course. I sent back all sorts of Beast Taming Pearls and even specifically got him top-tier VIP access to a cultivation dojo!"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow. "Um, I want to ask a question."
"What?"
"Do you still need a dad?"
"???"
Xie Sunan's eyes widened. He said warmly, "Get lost!"
After a brief exchange of banter, the two of them fell asleep.
The slime's body undulated, enveloping them both as it dozed off.
With the moth-butterfly guarding, there would basically be no problem. Moreover, with Xiao Huang's defense, there was no chance of being instantly killed.
...
The next morning, the moth-butterfly's body trembled, and its eyes shone with a brilliant green light.
It immediately transmitted the information to its owner, Xie Sunan.
"Chen Pi, a powerful fierce beast is approaching!"
Xie Sunan suddenly awoke and kept shaking Chen Shu's body. However, the latter was sleeping like a log.
This was the wilderness, for crying out loud! Your sleep quality is too good...
He had a flash of inspiration and whispered,
"Someone's here to steal the urea bags."
"What?!"
Chen Shu's eyes snapped open, and he instinctively sat up.
"..."
Xie Sunan silently gave himself a thumbs-up. As expected of the Southern River Scoundrel, he hadn't changed at all, remaining true to his original intentions.
He immediately spoke up to remind him, "A Lord-level fierce beast is here!"
"You scared me. I really thought someone was stealing urea bags..."
Chen Shu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What's there to be afraid of with a lord?"
He poked his head out, and simultaneously summoned Erha and the Space Rabbit.
In a short while, a black fish dozens of meters long swam over at high speed, exuding an incredibly terrifying aura. It was clearly a Silver Lord!
However, the originally majestic lord appeared quite battered. Its body was covered in torn wounds, and the surrounding seawater was stained red.
It kept looking back, its eyes filled with panic and fear.
"Hmm? Being chased?"
Chen Shu's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.
At this moment, a flamboyant voice echoed from the distance:
"Ant, stop struggling. Reincarnation is your only destiny!"
"..."
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. Just by hearing the voice, he knew who it was...
Ji Feng, riding a cyan phoenix, looked down at the black fish in front of him. His clothes fluttered in the wind, making him look incredibly dashing.
"Hmm?"
At this moment, his body jolted, and he saw the familiar yellow sphere again.
"Little Ji, don't be afraid! I'm here to save you!"
Chen Shu roared, instantly ordering his contracted spirit to unleash its skills.
"Save my ass!"
Ji Feng instantly understood the other party's intention. The cyan phoenix let out a clear cry.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Eight small tornadoes condensed and whistled towards the Silver Lord in front.
With the advantage of his wind-attribute skills, he successfully killed the severely wounded Silver Lord first.
The hurricane blew, forcefully dragging the corpse back to his side. Just this level of skill control was enough to make him stand out among his peers!
"Fortunately..."
He patted his chest. Upon hearing Chen Shu's words, he knew his spoils of war were about to be snatched away...
"Little Ji, you're too... forcing yourself!"
Chen Shu extended a finger, trembling slightly. He hadn't expected the opponent's skills to be so powerful.
Most importantly, he had seen through his intentions...
"Are you really trying to save me?"
Ji Feng's mouth twitched. Wasn't it me who was chasing the fierce beast just now!
"Of course, who doesn't know that I, Chen Shu, am always willing to help others?"
"Save it!"
He was chuunibyou, but his intelligence should be fine.
Meeting him for the first time and directly hanging him on the wall, could he be a good person?
He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you also hunting Silver Lords? As expected of someone I approve of!"
