"It's a true Ying Long!"
"The ruins have undergone new changes!"
Chen Shu and the others were startled, gazing at the massive phantom in the distance, their eyes filled with astonishment.
"Let's go!"
Chen Shu summoned his contracted spirit and beckoned everyone to gather on Xiao Huang's head.
Although the mutated thunderbird possessed formidable speed, even at its full power, it was only equivalent to a Gold-tier one-star contracted spirit.
Despite Xiao Huang being a titan among contracted spirits, its high-level [Charge] skill, coupled with the Sprite's [Speed Grant], made its speed comparable to a Gold-tier two-star contracted spirit.
Woosh woosh woosh—
Xiao Huang dashed forward, generating gusts of wind and exuding an awe-inspiring aura.
Chen Shu deliberately created a large indentation on Xiao Huang's head, allowing everyone to disregard the surrounding winds.
"So fast..."
A trace of envy flickered in A Liang and the others' eyes.
Less than half a year after graduation, this guy had already advanced from Silver-tier Beast Tamer to Gold-tier, and the most elite of the Gold-tier, having undergone a massive transformation.
At this moment, Xie Sunan stroked the green butterfly on her head and began to warn, "Be careful, there are ferocious beasts below!"
Poof poof poof—
From the swamp below, poisonous frogs, entirely black and purple, emerged.
Their aura was astonishing; they were a pack of Gold-tier ferocious beasts!
The poisonous frogs' eyes were fixed on the golden slime above. Their large mouths opened, gradually condensing purple toxic gas.
At the very center, a purely black poisonous frog with fierce eyes exuded the aura of a leader.
Croak—
It opened its mouth wide, instantly issuing commands.
Bang bang bang—
Dozens of purple venomous projectiles were sprayed out, directly targeting the yellow sphere above.
"Roar roar!"
Just then, from the edge of the slime's head, three dog heads emerged, wearing wicked smiles.
They looked down at the poisonous frogs below, unleashing terrifying fire attribute energy. Their mouths instantly spewed out three death fire pillars.
Boom boom—
The fire pillars engulfed the venomous projectiles, simultaneously causing dozens of meters of swamp to explode, and even the purple mist was instantly vaporized.
The poisonous frogs looked horrified, their eyes filled with disbelief.
"Aren't these creatures the same level as us?"
Their brain capacity was already insufficient to comprehend, so they could only watch as the fire pillars approached.
In an instant, the poisonous frogs vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed, leaving only the aroma of cooked meat mixed with the scent of the swamp...
"Killed instantly?"
Wang Jue, lying on Xiao Huang's head, witnessed the tragic state of the ferocious beasts below and felt an overwhelming sense of security.
Chen Shu smiled slightly and said, "Mere minor ferocious beasts, how dare they show off their tricks in front of an expert..."
The poisonous frog leader from before was merely Gold-tier one-star, naturally not enough for him to notice.
"Giji! Giji!"
Xiao Huang continued to fly forward, appearing leisurely and carefree.
The three huskies seemed exceptionally lively, constantly throwing skills at the swamp below.
Boom boom boom!
The only sounds reaching the group's ears were the roars of skills and the screams of ferocious beasts, as if they were in a battlefield.
For a time, the entire swamp became chaotic.
The ferocious beasts hidden in the depths were cursing profusely.
They hadn't done anything, yet they suffered undeserved calamity.
Xu Xingxing asked, "Chen Pi, why are you throwing skills for no reason? You're not collecting materials from them."
In the eyes of the four, this guy seemed to be merely enjoying the thrill of instant kills.
"It feels good!"
Chen Shu grinned. The ferocious beasts below were basically killed instantly, unable to withstand the huskies' skills.
"I'm finding some childhood memories now..."
"Childhood?"
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched. Your childhood was this wild?
"Haven't you ever used firecrackers to blow up cow dung?"
"..."
Everyone's eyes widened, finally understanding this guy's perverted sense of humor.
Boom boom boom!
The five of them flew on, turning the entire Endless Swamp upside down. Numerous ferocious beasts fled, distancing themselves from Chen Shu's path.
The Nightmare-level异空间 (Yi Kong Jian - Otherworld) was no longer a challenge for Chen Shu, unless a Gold-tier King appeared!
Half a day passed,
The group had already arrived at the depths of the space, encountering no obstacles along the way.
Chen Shu looked down and said with some disappointment, "The ferocious beasts are almost extinct, what's going on?"
"We're probably close to the ruins,"
A Liang explained, "The ferocious beasts seem unwilling to approach the ruins."
"Still tens of thousands of meters away from the ruins, and the ferocious beasts are this scared?"
"Is there a possibility..."
Wang Jue turned his head and said, "The ferocious beasts are simply afraid of you."
"..."
Xiao Huang once again unleashed the [Charge] skill, heading straight for the deepest part.
"This phantom is truly terrifying..."
Chen Shu gazed at the Ying Long phantom, now close at hand, his heart filled with shock.
The creatures before them were at least several thousand meters in size. Even the four-hundred-meter Xiao Huang was like an ant in comparison.
If this was the original size of the Ying Long, its strength would have been at least Legendary-tier.
Half an hour later,
They had reached an altitude of about a hundred meters, where a spatial通道 (Tong Dao - Passage) was open.
The tail of the Ying Long phantom above was connected to the inside of the passage.
"Chen Shu!"
A surprised voice rang out.
Fang Si, riding her Scarlet Flame Dragon, approached. Her expression was weary, but her eyes were filled with a smile.
"Sister Fang Si."
Chen Shu also spotted Fang Si in the crowd at a glance.
"You've really broken through to Gold-tier..."
Fang Si took a leap and landed directly on Xiao Huang's head, examining Chen Shu from head to toe.
"Not bad, not bad..."
Chen Shu waved his hand, saying modestly, "At this pace, I might only become King-tier before I'm twenty-five. It's quite embarrassing to the elders of Jiangdong."
"??"
Fang Si blinked slightly and patted Chen Shu's shoulder. This guy truly dared to speak so boldly.
"Breakthrough again within two years? What a joke!"
She had originally intended to tell Chen Shu to be more grounded, but upon considering his growth rate, she instantly fell silent.
"I heard you caused trouble overseas. Tell me about it, what exactly happened?"
She had stayed in the otherworld for a long time and didn't have comprehensive information about Chen Shu.
Chen Shu grinned and explained without reservation.
As the two chatted, they completely ignored Old Xie and the others...
"No way..."
A Liang couldn't stand it any longer and said,
"The two of you acting like this makes us look so foolish..."
In an instant, all four felt as if they were somewhat redundant.
