No! Chen Shu suddenly realized, slapping his thigh.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Dali and Fang Si looked at him simultaneously, puzzled.
"Could it be that Chen Shu discovered something?"
"I'm an idiot, of course I'd call to claim my prize first!"
With that, Chen Shu took out his phone and dialed the number for the Spirit Suppression Bureau.
"Hello! It's DOA! Something's happened at Taiqing Mountain! There are ferocious beasts from another dimension."
A steady voice on the other end replied, "Please don't worry, speak slowly. Could it be ordinary wild beasts?"
"Ordinary wild beasts? Have you ever seen such a large flying insect?"
Chen Shu said, clamping his phone between his shoulder and head, and using his hands to indicate a length of about half a meter.
"How big?"
"This big!" Chen Shu said with an anxious expression.
Fang Si, standing nearby, rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache coming on.
"Big brother, no matter how many times you gesture here, no one will know how big it is."
"It's a black beetle with impure bloodline."
Fang Si walked over and took Chen Shu's phone directly.
"This is Fang Si from Huaxia University. If possible, please send someone to investigate as soon as possible. It's likely a remnant from a hundred years ago, a black beetle."
"Huaxia University? Alright, I've recorded it!"
As Fang Si was about to hang up, she suddenly looked up and saw something.
Her eyes narrowed, and her expression suddenly became solemn.
Under the night sky, a black curtain hundreds of meters long had bizarrely appeared, and a noisy insect chirping could be heard in her ears!
"A swarm of black beetles?!"
Fang Si's vision and hearing had been enhanced, and she recognized it instantly.
Her tone carried urgency, "There's a swarm of black beetles! There are still a lot of tourists on Taiqing Mountain!! Quickly notify the Dragon Taming Army!"
After speaking, she hung up the phone.
"Huh? Where did they go?"
Fang Si looked up and saw Chen Shu and Zhang Dali already running off with their pots and pans, making clattering noises in the distance.
"Sister Fang Si, run quickly!" Chen Shu waved back.
Fang Si shook her head, her expression incredibly resolute, "No! There's a hotel on Taiqing Mountain, and there must be tourists. I have to go!"
As a prodigy of Huaxia University, enjoying various generous resources, she naturally needed to make certain contributions.
At the very least, she needed to assess the strength of the black beetles. If they were truly too much to handle, retreating wouldn't be too late.
Just then, options suddenly appeared before Chen Shu's eyes.
[Option One: Intercept the swarm of black beetles (Note: The black beetle lord is a creature of Black Iron three-star). Completion Reward: Beast Taming level +1]
[Option Two: Flee quickly and ensure personal safety. Completion Reward: Title "Dashing Escapist," Wearing Effect: Charm +1 while escaping]
[Option Three: Start a live broadcast on the spot to report to netizens in real-time. Completion Reward: Invisibility Potion]
This actually triggered options again.
Chen Shu looked back at Fang Si and asked, "Sister Fang Si, a Black Iron three-star lord creature, can you handle it?"
Fang Si's eyes widened, "You can detect its strength?"
At such a distance, ordinary people might not even be able to detect the swarm of black beetles.
"If it's Black Iron three-star, I'm confident I can delay it for a long time," Fang Si said. She was a Black Iron two-star beast tamer, and with her two dragon-type contracted spirits, she had the ability to contend with lord creatures.
"Alright! Then we're not running! Let's fight them!"
Chen Shu clenched his fists, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.
Zhang Dali, standing beside him, touched Chen Shu's forehead and asked, "What's wrong with you? Possessed?"
"What do you know? There are tourists on Taiqing Mountain. As a beast tamer, protecting ordinary people is both our duty and our mission! Don't you have any of the inspirational spirit of a new era youth?!"
Chen Shu patted Zhang Dali's shoulder, speaking passionately.
Zhang Dali's mouth twitched, "Then can you put down the bag first?"
"Besides, weren't you the one who ran the fastest just now?"
"Let's go!"
Fang Si took the lead, charging towards the direction of the black beetle swarm.
Chen Shu and Zhang Dali both put down their pots and pans and followed.
The black beetle at the very front of the swarm had ferocious mouthparts and its pupils emitted a faint green glow, its aura incredibly powerful.
This was the Black Beetle Lord!
It was originally a lord creature from the Demon River Plain. A hundred years ago, it invaded Blue Star.
Who knew that as soon as it broke through the dimensional barrier, it was severely beaten by China's beast taming army, and its leading group suffered countless casualties.
As a lord creature, its intelligence was far superior. Faced with such a situation, it would naturally flee!
So, it became the first deserter, directly hiding in Taiqing Mountain, but it also missed the best opportunity to return.
For a hundred years, strong beast tamers constantly patrolled Taiqing Mountain.
It trembled and lived in fear for decades. Later, Taiqing Mountain was developed into a tourist attraction, with only streams of ordinary people coming and going.
This made it believe that only the weak remained in this territory, and as a lord creature, it could finally emerge.
The sky is clear, the rain has stopped, and it felt like it could do it again!
*Chirp chirp chirp!*
The Black Beetle Lord roared to the sky, speaking to its descendants behind it, "Tonight marks the beginning of our rise!"
The other black beetles were about to respond when a dazzling fireball rapidly approached.
*Boom!*
The Black Beetle King, who was showing off its power, was directly blasted away and even let out a scream.
"Uh..."
A group of black beetles stopped in place awkwardly, not expecting their racial king to be so easily defeated.
*Chirp chirp chirp!*
The Black Beetle Lord controlled its body, anger in its eyes.
It hadn't expected to be beaten as soon as it emerged, its dignity as a lord creature trampled upon.
It looked down and saw two flying dragons roaring to the sky, their auras fierce.
"You guys be careful."
Fang Si stood on the ground, speaking to Chen Shu and the other two.
"Don't worry, Sister Fang Si!"
Ten meters away, on a large tree, the two had already hidden themselves.
Fang Si ignored them and focused on the battle in the sky.
The Blazing Dragon attacked first, its scorching flames constantly condensing in its mouth.
In an instant, a basketball-sized fireball shot forward.
But it didn't stop there. The Blazing Dragon's mouth continuously generated terrifying high temperatures.
Fireballs strung together, like a pea shooter, shot towards the black beetles.
The Black Beetle King flapped its wings, preparing to make a strategic retreat.
Unexpectedly, a stream of blue frost energy instantly arrived.
Its body stiffened, and it felt its senses become much slower.
The Frost Dragon was responsible for control, and the Blazing Dragon for offense. Under Fang Si's command, the two contracted spirits coordinated perfectly.
*Chirp!*
As a lord creature, the black beetle was not to be trifled with either. Its body suddenly materialized a black light shield.
*Boom!*
Fireballs rained down, exploding with a roar, like giant, brilliant fireworks, illuminating the night sky.
Fang Si's expression was solemn. The Black Beetle Lord was completely unharmed, and even its light shield had not cracked.
*Chirp!*
The Black Beetle Lord let out a noisy hiss, its pupils flashing with malevolent green light, and it instantly locked onto Fang Si below.
Clearly, it knew that the weakness of a beast tamer was their physical body.
Black light permeated its wings, and with a flap, its speed became extreme, bypassing the contracted spirits.
"Be careful!"
Chen Shu on the tree couldn't help but shout, preparing to summon his slime to resist this attack.
