"The third option won't work either..."
He shook his head. Although it might upgrade the divine skill, the probability wasn't high. The second option's reward was more direct.
"Just as Space Rabbit's strength has greatly increased, coupled with the Master effect, it's like adding wings to a tiger!"
He muttered to himself, a hint of killing intent appearing in his gaze towards Buck.
Then, Chen Shu turned to look at Liu Feng, and the master and disciple both chuckled.
"..."
Anton and the others twitched their mouths and silently moved further away. These two seemed to be planning something...
*Whoosh!*
Just then, the Blood Rage Demon Spider beside Liu Feng unleashed its skill.
A black spear shot out, instantly piercing the star curtain ahead, but it hit nothing but air...
"No, Teacher..."
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. "Why are you attacking it?"
Liu Feng frowned. "Can't hit it?"
"Brother..."
Chen Shu's mouth widened, his expression strange. "This is essentially like a television screen..."
"..."
Liu Feng suddenly understood. He seemed to have been a bit slow on the uptake.
"When the relic gets closer to him, and the opportunity is right, I'll open the relic entrance. We'll make our move then!"
Chen Shu looked at the star curtain ahead and patted the head of the husky beside him.
He said, "We only get one chance, so seize it!"
"One chance? Why?"
Liu Feng asked, confused. A killing blow wouldn't be easy.
"The relic can't be stopped now. If it's interrupted, the opportunity for movement will be lost..."
Chen Shu explained.
The current starry relic was like a high-speed train; it could only stop at a station. They were passengers, and Buck and the others were people by the roadside. If their attack missed, the distance between them would widen instantly.
Liu Feng said, "So we can't leave the relic?"
"No."
Chen Shu shook his head. "Once we leave, we can't get back in."
There were fierce beasts everywhere outside, and there was no need to put themselves in danger for Buck.
"Then one strike!"
Liu Feng nodded, a look of determination in his eyes.
"Alright, prepare yourselves."
Chen Shu nodded, constantly observing the distance between the relic and Buck, while also searching for a good angle and timing.
At this time, the [Aurora Ice Mountain],
After a prolonged fierce battle, Buck and his group had approached the exit of the異空間 (Yì Kōngjiān -异空间 is already translated as 'other dimension' or 'pocket dimension'. Using 'other dimension' here to be consistent if it was established earlier. If not, 'pocket dimension' might be better. Assuming context is established.) They had a glimmer of hope, finally enduring their way to this location.
As long as they returned to the Extreme Ice Land on Blue Star, they could notify reinforcements.
Moreover, outside the other dimension, there might not be many fierce beasts left.
The King-tier Beast Tamer from the Immortal Kingdom said,
"Patriarch Buck, what's the plan?"
"I'll take the lead! Muen in the middle, and you cover the rear, how about that?"
Buck pondered for a moment and made the arrangements.
The three King-tiers had to have a well-defined division of labor.
The two considered it and nodded in agreement. It was indeed a good plan.
Buck's expression shifted. He noticed Karl in the crowd inadvertently moving closer to him, reaching the second position.
The two King-tiers didn't pay attention. They didn't know the situation inside the relic and thus didn't realize Karl was allied with Buck.
Buck glanced at Karl and sighed inwardly.
Of the three Golden Beast Tamers he had brought out, only one remained.
At this moment, a bead appeared in his palm. He led the way to the passage entrance.
Without hesitation, Buck stepped out and arrived at the extreme north of Blue Star.
*Roar!*
Buck's expression changed in shock. The surroundings were already filled with various fierce beasts, a dense swarm that stretched as far as the eye could see.
He felt as if he were in a sea of beasts, liable to be swallowed at any moment.
Almost immediately, countless fierce beasts' eyes lit up, already preparing their skills.
Buck, however, remained calm, ordering his contracted spirit to release defensive skills while silently crushing the bead in his hand.
Instantly, a surge of spatial energy gathered.
Karl also arrived on Blue Star. Simultaneously, he had his contracted spirit unleash a skill, blasting towards the passage, forcefully preventing the third person from entering.
Spatial energy enveloped the two, preparing for teleportation...
The bead naturally came from the King-tier Spatial Beast Tamer from the Church.
The bead in his hand served only one purpose: to perform a directional teleportation of over ten thousand meters. He had already located it beneath the extreme ice, where there was no aura of fierce beasts.
The reason it wasn't used within the other dimension was that it was teeming with fierce beasts, rendering a ten-thousand-meter teleportation useless.
"Leave the fierce beasts to you to deal with."
Buck grinned, thinking to himself, "Hopefully, one or two King-tiers will die."
The national powers on Blue Star were enemies of the Church, so he felt no sympathy.
"Let's go!"
The two figures were about to disappear from their spots as spatial energy descended!
They didn't hesitate, recalling their contracted spirits, ready to leave.
However, at that very moment, ten meters away from Buck, a spatial channel eerily opened, emanating starlight.
"What? Starry Relic?!"
Buck's expression froze, then his eyes narrowed. A black spear shot out from the channel!
"Liu Feng?! How is this possible!!"
His mind reeled, his breathing even stopped.
Buck had already recalled his contracted spirit and had no defensive capabilities left.
Chen Shu had grasped the timing perfectly!
"..."
Karl was equally horrified, only managing to glance at Patriarch Buck, hoping he had a solution.
"Trying to kill me?!"
Buck's expression turned ferocious. In a flash, he had reacted.
He extended his right hand and grabbed Karl's shoulder, forcing him to shield him.
"Buck?!"
Karl's expression was one of horror, and he couldn't help but roar in protest. But in the next instant, the black spear pierced through.
His life aura vanished instantly...
