Do not provoke ferocious beasts for now. Wait until I can summon Slimes at will.
Chen Shu waited for the summoning cooldown to end, and the three of them started causing trouble again.
With this tactic, they could roam and act with impunity in the Ice Canyon.
Six days passed in the blink of an eye.
The three of them obtained another three rare medicinal herbs, attracting the pursuit of a group of Ice Scorpions below, but they could only sigh in vain.
Xu Xingxing asked, "Chen Pi, our harvest should be quite good, right?"
"It's exceptionally good! We've definitely secured the first place!"
Chen Shu replied, "In six days, the harvested herbs are worth at least two million."
For other teams to surpass them, they would have to hunt a Lord-level ferocious beast.
However, Lord-level creatures were different from mutated creatures. Even with a poor bloodline, a Lord was still Black Iron grade.
The entire special training class combined couldn't defeat a single Lord-level ferocious beast. They might as well serve as a snack for it.
As night fell,
Violent Sitting Kill gained another level. It was truly effortless to become stronger.
Chen Shu, wearing his hospital gown, lay comfortably in his sleeping bag.
After enjoying a delicious barbecue, the three of them gathered in a tent.
"Landlord!"
"Pass!"
"I pass!"
"I pass again!"
Chen Shu and the other two leisurely played Dou Dizhu.
Pitiable were the Black Iron grade Town Spirit Army outside, who had to guard their safety even at night.
It was nighttime, and Shen Wushuang had already swapped shifts with another Town Spirit Army soldier. They couldn't provide 24-hour protection.
Black Iron grade beast tamers were also human!
"He's just a normal student. Is it really necessary for Old Shen to be so cautious?"
A Town Spirit Army soldier perched on a flying beast, looking down at the mountain cliff cave.
He was a Black Iron Three-star beast tamer. It was Shen Wushuang's specific request, claiming that a Black Iron One-star might not be able to protect the three of them.
Chen Shu called "Landlord," a smile on his face. "A three!"
Xu Xingxing said expressionlessly, "King Bomb!"
"My one three?"
Chen Shu's expression froze, and he stared blankly at Xu Xingxing.
"Yes, my King Bomb!"
"No, I played a three, are you sick? Why would you play a King Bomb right at the start?"
Chen Shu's mouth twitched as he said, "Have you ever seen Ultraman release lasers right at the beginning?"
Xu Xingxing shrugged and said, "I wanted to have more presence."
Chen Shu nodded and said, "Alright! You play, I don't believe you can beat me with seventeen cards!"
"Planes with three pairs!"
Xu Xingxing threw all his cards down.
The scene instantly fell into silence.
Chen Shu's eyes widened, looking at Xu Xingxing in disbelief.
"You beat me with seventeen cards?"
"Old Xie, why are you standing up?"
Xie Sunan made a shushing gesture, his brows furrowed, as Chong Die whispered something beside him.
"Quick! Someone is approaching!"
Hearing this, the three of them instantly tensed up and quickly packed their important belongings.
Chen Shu put away his Slime, and the three of them came out of the cave, stepping onto the backs of the mutated Thunder Birds, ready to take flight at any moment.
"From what direction?"
Chen Shu frowned and looked at Xie Sunan.
Xie Sunan replied, "Three hundred meters to the left, not fast. They're heading directly towards us. They're probably planning a sneak attack!"
Due to the fire, the light from the cave could be seen from outside, indicating that someone occupied the cave.
According to the rules of the Ice Canyon, other beast taming groups would not approach easily unless they had malicious intent.
Chen Shu said, "Let's wait first!"
A moment later, six people indeed arrived outside the cave. They were clearly from one beast taming group.
"It seems you have scout-type contracted spirits?"
The burly man leading them looked surprised, not expecting the other party to have discovered them so early.
They had been so stealthy, trying to catch them off guard.
The six of them looked greedy and said, "Kid, you've had a good harvest these past few days, haven't you?"
"Robbery?"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow slightly, not expecting anyone to dare target him.
"Hand over all your medicinal herbs, and you can leave!"
The burly man at the front was a Black Iron grade beast tamer, with formidable strength. The three of them were clearly students and not to be feared.
Xie Sunan said, "Big brother, we are from the special training class. There are Town Spirit Army soldiers watching over you!"
"Huh?"
The burly man's expression changed. He couldn't help but look upwards. Using his enhanced vision, he could vaguely see a dark silhouette.
"No wonder three apprentice beast tamers could come to the Ice Canyon."
"I know your rules. Unless there's a life-or-death crisis, they won't intervene."
The burly man pondered for a moment and said, "Hand over half of the medicinal herbs, or your trial will end prematurely!"
If the Town Spirit Army intervened, it would mean the end of the three's trial.
And the beast taming group would face no danger. The异空间 (Other Dimension) was a lawless place, and the Town Spirit Army would only protect the three's safety, not punish them.
"If you want the medicinal herbs, fine. Come and get them yourself!"
Chen Shu grinned and opened the backpack containing the medicinal herbs, instantly attracting the other party's attention.
The burly man's eyes were filled with greed, but he remained extremely cautious in his heart and slowly walked forward.
Just as the burly man was about to approach the three, a dazzling green light descended upon his head.
The scene instantly went silent.
"Boss, your head..."
The members of the beast taming group's mouths twitched, their expressions complex. They wanted to laugh but dared not.
The burly man also realized something and suddenly looked up.
He immediately saw a large hat, and it was glowing green!
"Kid, you're courting death!"
The burly man's anger was instantly ignited, making him want to kill the three of them.
Taking advantage of the moment when the other party's attention was diverted,
Chen Shu smiled slightly. The Slime could now be summoned again.
A massive Slime descended from the sky, directly crushing the five people behind.
The five people were still unfazed, merely looking with interest at the green light on their boss's head.
It wasn't until the contracted spirits beside them issued a warning that they finally reacted.
"Not good!"
Someone roared, looking up at the Slime, a life-or-death crisis instantly appearing.
Boom!
The five contracted spirits all attacked, trying to hold back the behemoth, but they were crushed in moments.
Contracted spirits below Black Iron grade were generally no match for the Slime.
Despite the temporary delay from the contracted spirits, some still failed to escape the Slime's attack range.
Two of them were instantly hit in the thigh.
Although they didn't die on the spot, if not treated promptly, they would also bleed to death.
"Kid! You're courting death!"
The burly man heard the commotion behind him and looked back, his eyes bursting with rage.
"I'll go first!"
Chen Shu grinned and recalled the Slime into his beast taming space.
The mutated Thunder Bird flapped its wings and took off at high speed, even spitting at the burly man.
"You guys take good care of Little Liu and Little Li!"
The burly man's heart burned with rage. He summoned his own contracted spirit.
A large black bird appeared and pursued the mutated Thunder Bird.
The Town Spirit Army in the sky looked down at everything indifferently, a faint smile on their lips. "This kid is truly ruthless!"
At this moment, the mutated Thunder Bird remained unhurried and even wagged its tail at the burly man.
"Damn it! Today, I'll definitely teach you a lesson!"
The burly man gritted his teeth. Although no lives were lost, two were severely injured, which would incur a significant medical expense.
This made the already struggling beast taming group even more destitute.
