"Old Jiang, you're back?"
Jiang Mo returned to a wooden hut where two other middle-aged men were present.
To ensure the Nightmare-level异空间 (Yi Kongjian - Other Dimension) was foolproof, a King-level Beastmaster was needed for its defense.
However, the number of King-level Beastmasters was too small, and they were needed to guard more dangerous 异空间.
Therefore, Nightmare-level 异空间 were usually managed by three Gold-level Beastmasters.
If a Gold-level Monarch were to revolt, the three of them could stall for a while until King-level Beastmasters arrived.
A fierce-looking man spoke, "Is that kid reliable?"
"Reliable!"
Jiang Mo nodded.
The man's eyes showed impatience. "These Sakura Country people are getting more arrogant. If it were usual times, I would have gone out myself!"
"They seem to be looking for something..."
Jiang Mo rubbed his chin, a question in his eyes.
If it were for profit, the other party would never risk offending Hua Country.
"Looking for something in our territory?"
The man clenched his fists, killing intent in his eyes.
"Alright, Old Liu, endure it!"
Another man wearing glasses chimed in, "Ten days ago, a Monarch's aura appeared near our stronghold. We can't act rashly!"
Not only the three Gold-level Beastmasters but the entire Zhenling Army was also restricted, not daring to leave without permission.
Jiang Mo spoke, "Is it really a Gold Monarch? Could it be a conspiracy from Sakura Country?"
"We don't dare to gamble..."
The spectacled man gave a bitter smile.
The fierce beasts in Beiyuan City were in a bit of an uproar, and they simply couldn't spare any personnel.
"It all depends on who Principal Qin sends!"
The fierce-looking man said, "If that kid can really do it, I'll call him 'brother' from now on!"
...
"Gu ji!"
Chen Shu sat on the slime's head and asked Xiao Huang to hollow out a large area on its head to shield him from the chilling wind.
Now that Xiao Huang had become Silver-level, not only had its strength greatly increased, but it could also control its body to perform simple transformations.
"Xiao Bai, get your carrots out. I'm going to eat first!"
"???"
The Spatial Rabbit turned its head, "Are you speaking human language?"
The slime's current speed was not slow, at least faster than Chen Shu running himself.
There were definitely no fierce beasts around the stronghold, so Chen Shu headed straight for the depths of the 异空间.
...
Three days later,
Chen Shu's gaze was fixed on a small tree in front of him, on which grew five or six fruits of blue and red intermingled.
These were the Silver-level Icefire Fruits, one of the main ingredients for Ice and Fire potions.
In front of the Icefire Fruits, dozens of half-meter-sized blue birds were hovering, emanating a Silver-level aura.
"Two mutated ones?"
Chen Shu mused for a moment.
"Erha, go!"
He crawled on the snow and patted the dog's head beside him, choosing to attack first!
"Awooo!"
The husky roared and released [Giant Wind Blade].
In an instant, three Icewing Birds were heavily wounded and lost their combat effectiveness.
Caw!
Suddenly, the Icewing Bird flock sensed the danger and immediately took to the sky.
At this moment, Chen Shu summoned the slime, its terrifying eighty-meter physique descending.
The bird flock screeched, their formation instantly broken.
At this time, one of the mutated Icewing Birds was about to flee but was controlled by Xiao Huang's [Deterring Roar].
Boom!
Xiao Huang instantly suppressed a mutated fierce beast!
"Awooo!"
At this moment, the husky used its [Clone] skill, unleashing various berserk elemental skills.
Being hit by them meant severe injuries at best, and instant death at worst.
Even without consuming Silver-level potions, the husky's skill power was still immense.
Caw!
At this moment, the other mutated Icewing Bird screeched. The panicked bird flock received orders and looked uniformly at Chen Shu.
Clearly, they understood that the Beastmaster's weakness was their physical body!
Chichichichi!
In an instant, dozens of sharp ice spikes shot towards them at extreme speed!
Chen Shu did not panic and directly gave the Spatial Rabbit an order.
An invisible spatial tunnel appeared.
"Better to run first!"
Chen Shu and his contract spirits directly burrowed into it.
The other end of the spatial tunnel was precisely in front of Xiao Huang's giant mouth.
As soon as he passed through the tunnel, the Spatial Rabbit immediately canceled the skill to prevent the opponent's skills from penetrating as well.
Chen Shu successfully returned to Xiao Huang's mouth and felt extremely safe.
At this time, the husky was still at full power, clearing out the Icewing Birds.
In less than ten minutes, dozens of corpses lay on the snow.
The only mutated fierce beast had hatred in its eyes. It finally let out a cry, wanting to leave the place.
But how could Chen Shu let it go?
The Spatial Rabbit's eyes gleamed, and it directly threw out [Spatial Confinement].
In an instant, the mutated Icewing Bird's body stiffened and was forcibly controlled.
Then came two [Death Fire Pillars].
Boom boom boom!
The terrifying power of the flames instantly killed it.
"So easy!"
Chen Shu nodded with satisfaction.
Although he was only facing a flock of Silver-level 1 fierce beasts, it still showcased his strength.
He took out a urea bag and carefully picked the Icefire Fruits, and at the same time, extracted the beast pearls from the two mutated fierce beasts.
"Xiao Huang, make another hole!"
Chen Shu dragged the two mutated fierce beasts and returned to the slime's head.
A small pit appeared on the slime's head, just enough to place his urea bag of spoils.
Although he had a mission, making money was the most important thing.
As for causing trouble, it was just a side benefit...
"Let's go!"
Chen Shu had a smile on his lips, cleaning the feathers of the two Icewing Birds, preparing for a barbecue.
The slime swallowed all dozens of Icewing Birds on the ground, being completely unpicky.
It snorted contentedly and hopped forward.
However, before they had gone far, Xiao Huang suddenly stopped.
"Help... help me..."
A weak voice came from ahead.
"Hmm?"
Chen Shu was slightly stunned and stood on the slime's head.
Behind a large tree, a staggering figure appeared.
His complexion was pale, and as he walked towards Chen Shu, he had not yet approached before he collapsed onto the snow.
"Hmm? Is someone faking an injury in the 异空间? This is too wild!"
Chen Shu's expression was vigilant, and he did not rush forward but instead had the Spatial Rabbit drag him back.
Half an hour later,
Li Ze gradually regained consciousness. He opened his eyes.
He immediately saw a student-like young man barbecuing in the snow.
"You're awake?"
Chen Shu directly tore off a chicken leg and wolfed it down.
"Thank you, little brother!"
Li Ze breathed a sigh of relief, knowing he had been saved.
But as he moved his body, his eyes widened.
His hands and feet were actually tied up...
Beside him, a husky was staring at him with intelligent eyes, as if it could unleash a skill at any moment.
"Little brother... this..."
Li Ze gave a dry laugh. He thought he had been saved,
But now it seemed he had fallen into danger again...
