"Pfft!"
The four could no longer hold back their laughter, erupting into hearty guffaws. They had never anticipated such a scene.
"You've never seen the world before!"
Chen Shu pouted and said, "Haven't you heard of the Silver-grade skill [Mighty Shield]?"
The function of [Mighty Shield] wasn't to increase defense, but to cast a shield.
As long as the shield wasn't broken, the contracted spirit wouldn't suffer any damage. It was specifically used to counter skills with armor-piercing effects.
Tianhua Group had sent him five [Mighty Shields] in a single day.
Because the effect was too unsightly, most people were unwilling to use it, as there were similar skills available as alternatives.
"This is called the golden poop forehead mark, give a round of applause to the social butterfly!"
Chen Shu shouted, "Old Wang, stop laughing, give my husky some support skills!"
As they spoke, the poop mark on Xiao Huang's forehead had already started to fade.
Once it disappeared, it meant the shield had shattered.
Wang Jue's nearby little blue spirit released its skill.
A blue light appeared, integrating into the husky's main body.
The next moment, the clone's eyes also glowed with blue light,
though it was somewhat dim, not as dazzling as the main body's glow.
"As expected, a divine skill!"
Chen Shu grinned, not expecting the clone to be so powerful, actually sharing the support effect.
Unfortunately, it didn't seem to inherit everything, only providing partial buffs.
Xiao Huang below shrank in size, revealing the head of the mutated-grade beetle!
The two huskies poked out their heads, their eyes fixing their gaze.
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
The mutated-grade beetle sensed something was amiss and used its life-saving skill, a fiery shield appearing on its body.
The next moment, various incredibly brilliant skills rained down…
Wind blades, fireballs, ice balls, lightning, flying stones, and more attacked ferociously, directly shattering its shield.
Boom boom boom!
Two terrifying [Death Fire Pillars] served as finishing moves, the damage exploding directly!
The husky's skills concluded, and the mutated beetle's corpse was already charred black, irrevocably dead.
The husky's damage was too high, successfully taking it down in one go.
If it were an ordinary Silver-grade fierce beast, a top-tier Bronze-grade beast tamer could defeat it.
But mutated-grade beasts could be considered little geniuses in the fierce beast world, and eliminating one was not something a Bronze-grade tamer could achieve.
Of course, Wang Jue's blue spirit played a significant role.
The Crimson Flame Beetles below became utterly chaotic. Having lost their leader's protection, they all wanted to flee for their lives.
Chen Shu and the others pursued, killing most of them and deliberately letting some of the fierce beasts escape.
Only by spreading panic would the fierce beasts realize that a human outpost was nearby.
"Quite a good haul!"
Chen Shu, holding a delicate little shovel, carefully harvested the six Fire Essence Stones.
"If you dare to pocket them, I'll eat bird meat when we get back!"
Chen Shu handed the Fire Essence Stones to Wang Jue's spatial bird, issuing a warning.
This guy had a track record of stealing even the bandit's belongings!
A Liang, at this moment, extracted the Silver-grade Beast Taming Pearl from within the mutated beetle.
It was also worth millions, equivalent to a Bronze-grade lord.
"Let's go!"
The five of them cleaned up the battlefield and left the area.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye.
Chen Shu and the others' coordination became seamless. Relying on the mutated thunderbird's speed, they encountered no life-threatening danger. Of course, they were not arrogant enough to challenge Silver-grade lords; those were not something Bronze-grade tamers could defeat.
"Another three Bronze-grade medicinal herbs!"
Chen Shu happily harvested them.
In a few days, they had already collected medicinal herbs worth two hundred million.
"This is truly picking up money!"
A Liang couldn't help but smirk, never imagining that making money could be so easy.
"This is nothing. I suspect some fierce beast groups intentionally moved the medicinal herbs,"
Chen Shu said, "When I first came here, I found hundreds of millions worth of medicinal herbs in half a day!"
He shook his head in lament, medicinal herbs were also useful to fierce beasts, and they wouldn't just give them to humans for free.
Just then, Xie Sunan's expression changed slightly. His insect butterfly seemed to have given him a signal.
"Chen Shu, there are people in the distance?!"
"People? Aren't they the Spirit Suppression Army?"
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback. Besides the five of them, the street loafers, everyone else in the space was from the Spirit Suppression Army.
The five of them weren't surprised. Although their initial direction didn't have anyone else, they weren't exactly moving in a straight line. Once the distance widened, chance encounters were natural.
At this moment, new options appeared before Chen Shu.
[Option One: Rescue the Spirit Suppression Army! Completion Reward: 'Clone' +1 + Teleportation Potion*1]
[Option Two: Change direction and leave decisively! Completion Reward: Vast amounts of Beast Taming Power]
[Option Three: Go observe and cheer them on! Completion Reward: Husky's Fire Attribute +5%]
Chen Shu was slightly stunned, immediately drawn to the options.
Although the reward for the first option was the best, he certainly couldn't help if even the Spirit Suppression Army was in danger.
His eyes landed on the third option.
Just observing shouldn't be dangerous, right?
"Let's go, let's go see!"
The group rode the thunderbird towards the front.
…
At this moment, a unit of the Spirit Suppression Army looked grave.
Before them were numerous red lizards, and behind them were two-headed fire dogs, their eyes filled with ferocity.
Two fierce beast groups had rarely teamed up!
"Captain, what do we do?"
The unit only had twenty people, but all of them were elite Bronze-grade cultivators. The captain and vice-captain were even Silver-grade beast tamers!
As an exploration team, their strength naturally couldn't be too weak.
"My vice-captain and I will join forces to attract all the fierce beasts, creating an escape route for you!"
The captain spoke slowly. Originally, with the squad's strength, they could contend with a Silver-grade lord, or at least retreat without injury.
But the combined might of two Silver-grade lords was a completely different matter.
"Roar!"
A massive red giant lizard roared. Its back scales cracked open, revealing several red openings.
Boom boom boom!
A large number of fireballs bombarded them, like mortars, their power terrifying.
And in front, a ferocious-looking two-headed fire dog lord also unleashed its skill.
A large area of fire rain fell, intending to annihilate all the Spirit Suppression Army members in front of them.
"Old Wang, make your move!"
The two Silver-grade beast tamers exchanged glances, determined to use their lives to create an escape route for their team.
The two sides engaged in a fierce battle once more!
However, the fierce beast horde seemed to have realized their intentions.
The ordinary fierce beasts fearlessly surrounded the Spirit Suppression Army, intending to buy time for their lords!
Meanwhile, the Silver-grade lords and Silver-grade beast tamers were locked in intense combat.
Although both were geniuses within their respective tiers, they still couldn't contend against them individually.
Death was only a matter of time!
"Damn it! These beasts!"
The captain of the Spirit Suppression Army clenched his fists, forced to watch his team members being massacred by the fierce beast horde.
The work of exploration was inherently perilous, with a definite high casualty rate!
"No, there's not enough time! Let's go all out!"
The captain's expression was resolute. He proactively had two of his contracted spirits leave the battlefield to assist the other team members.
But only one Silver-grade firebird remained, tasked with delaying as long as possible.
"Roar!"
The fire lizard lord seemed to be provoked. A terrifying pillar of fire erupted, directly hitting the firebird.
Boom!
In an instant, the firebird was heavily wounded, a huge hole appearing in its body, making it unable to even maintain flight.
"Captain!"
The others' eyes were bloodshot, instantly realizing the captain's intention.
"I can still withstand one more blow!"
The captain of the Spirit Suppression Army showed no fear, clinging tightly to the firebird's back.
His two contracted spirits had still not returned; they were heading straight for the other team members' battlefield.
"Hold on!"
The captain patted the firebird's head, barely maintaining its flight.
"Roar!"
The fire lizard lord prepared to unleash another skill, to annihilate it right there!
But at that moment, its gaze flickered. It saw a blue thunderbird rapidly approaching.
"It's it? It's it?!"
The fire lizard lord froze, memories from a year ago surfacing in its mind.
It shook its head, its gaze fixed on the blue thunderbird.
The previously fierce battlefield seemed to pause briefly!
"Hmm?"
Chen Shu's expression tightened. He immediately spotted the enormous giant lizard.
"Holy crap, it can't be this coincidental, can it?!"
His mouth gaped open. The first Silver-grade lord he encountered when he went there with Fang Si was a giant lizard!
"Luckily, I brought a gas mask!"
Chen Shu patted his chest, praising his own ingenuity.
But at that moment, the mutated thunderbird looked at the giant lizard with a hint of disdain, as if saying:
What are you looking at?!
It flicked its tail, its mouth moved slightly, and a sound echoed:
"Heitui!"
