"No, where on earth did these guys get dug up from?"
The Spirit Suppressing Army exchanged glances.
Psychopaths venturing into an alternate dimension? What kind of sci-fi epic is this?
"Alright! Let's go!"
Each captain forced a calm demeanor and led their teams away from the area.
If they stayed any longer, morale would surely be shattered!
"Did Old Ye send people specifically to be comedic?"
The strongest person in Daxing City touched his chin, his eyes filled with a peculiar look.
"Let's go!"
Chen Shu and the others were utterly unfazed, having long anticipated this scene.
It seemed they had truly shaken the souls of everyone else!
A Liang touched the patient's gown he was wearing and said, "Xiao Xing, this gown is so comfortable!"
Xu Xingxing said confidently, "Of course! I've invested more funds to improve it. It's now called the Mental Patient Gown 2.0. It's resistant to heat and cold, truly a perfect garment!"
Screech!
As they spoke, a blue thunderbird appeared. It was incredibly majestic, constantly shaking its rear, exuding an unmistakable air of arrogance!
Whoosh!
With a flap of its wings, the thunderbird carried them all away into the distance.
"Huh, Xiao Xing, you've become Black Iron tier?"
Chen Shu was slightly startled, immediately sensing that the thunderbird's speed had increased significantly.
"Just broke through not long ago!"
Xu Xingxing's lips curved into a confident smile.
His beast-taming talent was not weak, and combined with a semester of dedicated spending and consistent use of the school's cultivation rooms, his cultivation progress was even faster than most geniuses from Chinese academies.
"Impressive!"
Xie Sunan turned his head, his eyes filled with envy.
Chen Shu asked, "Old Xie, what about you?"
"What do you think?"
Xie Sunan hung his head. He was the only one still at Level Nine.
As a wanderer with average beast-taming talent, it would likely take him until his sophomore year to reach Black Iron tier.
Old Wang suddenly raised his hand and asked, "I have a question!"
"What?"
"Didn't we discuss tactics for several days? What did we discuss that we don't even know each other's beast levels!"
"..."
The five looked at each other. It seemed they really hadn't discussed it.
Xu Xingxing scratched his head and said, "We seemed to have been talking about… seizing resources and fantasizing about reaching the peak of our lives…"
"Uh..."
Chen Shu coughed and said, "It's not too late! Let's all state our strengths!"
Chen Shu's Little Yellow and Husky possessed astonishing combat power, naturally making them the absolute mainstays of the team.
A Liang's contracted spirits were the Thunder Ape and Snowball, responsible for control and combat, making them the secondary mainstays.
Wang Jue's contracted spirits were the Space Bird and the A-grade Smurf, primarily responsible for material storage and combat support.
Xu Xingxing's newly awakened contracted spirit was an A-grade Wood Element Spirit, capable of control and healing.
As for Xie Sunan, he was responsible for spreading the light of love…
"Our lineup is well-matched. As long as we don't provoke a Monarch, we should be fine!"
Chen Shu and the others sat on the mutated thunderbird's back, only summoning a portion of their contracted spirits.
Large contracted spirits like the Thunder Ape and Slime, for example, were not present.
"Chen Pi, what's the action plan?"
The four looked at Chen Shu in unison, naturally regarding him as their leader.
At this moment, options appeared before Chen Shu's eyes.
[Option 1: Steady advance, step by step! Completion Reward: Unlock new Potion Codex: Potion of Light + Moderate Beast Taming Power]
[Option 2: Directly throw an explosive potion to lure out a Monarch-tier ferocious beast and engage in a fierce battle with it! Completion Reward: Title 'True Warrior', Wearing Effect: 20% increase in the success rate of courting death]
[Option 3: Follow behind the Spirit Suppressing Army, ready to pick up scraps! Completion Reward: Silver-grade Potent Potion * 5]
[Option 4: Head straight for the depths of the space to search for treasures! Completion Reward: Large amount of Beast Taming Power]
Chen Shu touched his chin, examining the four options back and forth, and finally chose the first option.
The second one was definitely out of the question. Furthermore, the title actually increased the success rate of courting death.
Life was already short; he had no desire to take shortcuts!
The third option was equally ridiculous. Who would dare snatch money from the Spirit Suppressing Army?
As for the fourth, this space had not been explored. Everywhere was the same, filled with treasures.
"Let's advance slowly, no need to rush!"
The group, riding the thunderbird, flew leisurely at high altitude.
"Three hundred meters to the right, at the foot of the volcano, there are three Fire Spirit Flowers!"
"At the mountain pass six hundred meters away, there is a Scarlet Fire Fruit!"
Chen Shu stood at the front, his eyes like fiery golden eyes, spotting all sorts of medicinal herbs immediately.
"Underground, a thousand meters down, there is a Blazing Flame Vine!"
"???"
The four looked at him in unison. What kind of eyesight do you have?!
"You can even see medicinal herbs underground?!"
A Liang's expression was shocked. Are you really just Black Iron tier?
Chen Shu calmly said, "A small section of it is exposed, and it's just similar in color to the ground. You need to look closely!"
The four narrowed their eyes until they were almost slits, but they still couldn't detect anything unusual.
"Is this the talent of a fierce bandit?"
In the end, the four chose to give up. What could they possibly see?
The mutated thunderbird flapped its wings. Even without using any skills, its speed was enough to crush ferocious beasts of the same level.
"Roar!"
A group of Black Iron One-star Fire Leopards were lurking around the Blazing Flame Vine.
Upon seeing the thunderbird approach, the Fire Leopards all rose, their eyes filled with warnings and threats.
Chen Shu said, "A Liang!"
A Liang nodded, rubbing the Snowball in his hand.
"Chirp chirp!"
A vast expanse of white frost emanated, directly slowing down the speed of the ferocious beasts.
Chen Shu calmly dismounted, took out a small shovel, and carefully dug out the Blazing Flame Vine.
"Roar!"
At this moment, the Husky used [Sandstorm], and several massive boulders fell, instantly killing all the controlled Fire Leopards.
Although the five were specifically here to collect treasures, they still needed to kill some ferocious beasts to clear space for the Spirit Suppressing Bureau's outpost.
Otherwise, Professor Ye Qing wouldn't be able to explain.
"Go!"
The five moved forward without any hesitation.
But as they flew past a giant volcano, they were all shocked!
"What is this?!"
A Liang's mouth hung slightly open. Ahead of them, a colossal pit had appeared, as if it had suffered a devastating strike…
"Chen Pi!"
The bodies of the four trembled, their gazes fixed on Chen Shu. The deep pit before them was clearly not naturally formed.
"Why are you looking at me?"
Chen Shu shrugged, feigning innocence.
Back then, to destroy that large spatial rift, he had no choice but to use explosive potions.
"Have you really been to this space before? And dropped a nuclear bomb?"
"We just came for a spin with Fang Si, and coincidentally sent some blessings to the ferocious beasts…"
Chen Shu waved his hand and said, "I didn't do anything else!"
"Now I understand why the ferocious beasts inside have such hatred!"
The four exchanged glances, their expressions filled with understanding. Everything was now reasonably explained.
"Won't these ferocious beasts recognize you?"
Xie Sunan suddenly realized a terrifying possibility.
If that were the case, then the five weren't here to explore, but rather to become a feast!
"Hmph! Bring them on! When has our Nanjiang Fierce Bandit ever been afraid!"
Chen Shu was completely unfazed, his demeanor extremely arrogant.
"Awesome!"
A Liang gave a thumbs-up and said, "But can you take off your gas mask first?"
