Boom!
Before Chen Shu could even finish speaking, several skills bombarded him ferociously.
Xiao Huang immediately shut its mouth and shielded Chen Shu and the others.
All the skills struck its body, easily blocked, unable to even break through its defense.
"Alas..."
Chen Shu sighed. He had intended to seek a peaceful resolution, but it seemed he was forced to retaliate.
"Gu Ji!"
Xiao Huang wagged its tail and headed directly into the depths of the light pillar.
Seeing this, the twenty-five individuals became excited and quickly gave chase.
The two sides, one pursuing and the other fleeing, gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Malo, aren't you worried that your family's young master might die suddenly?"
At this moment, a Gold-tier Beast Tamer looked at Malo and said,
"If that happens, you'll probably be implicated too, won't you?"
Malo's expression was cold as he said,
"Hmph! If the young master meets with trouble, he won't be able to leave the [Geothermal Plains]!"
"What if someone throws a hundred nuclear bombs?"
"..."
Malo immediately fell silent and, at the same time, couldn't help but ponder.
The Free Alliance's technological level led the world, but currently, they had only developed special communication devices, which could only transmit simple signals and were prohibitively expensive.
But now, the Eastern countries were so outrageous that they had developed interdimensional nuclear bombs?
...
Half an hour later,
Chen Shu had already reached the center of the light pillar.
He saw a large expanse of white mist, clearly the entrance to the relic's spatial passage.
Beside it stood an ancient stone platform with six sunken holes.
The twenty-odd people behind him were still relentlessly pursuing.
'Reward obtained: Death Fire Pillar +1!'
Chen Shu smiled slightly, having received another system reward.
Just then, Xiao Huang abruptly stopped, turned around, and opened its mouth.
Chen Shu said with a smile, "Clay! We can cast our net now!"
"???"
Everyone's expressions faltered, and they immediately sensed something was amiss.
Even Clay was stunned, completely bewildered by Chen Shu. Did he know him?
The moment everyone was distracted,
A tragic cry sounded.
Everyone's bodies trembled, and they quickly looked back, their eyes instantly narrowing, filled with immense shock.
They saw a corpse slowly falling, and its three contracted spirits had also perished on the spot.
Chen Shu grinned, his sneak attack skills truly reaching perfection.
"You?!"
The crowd quickly gathered together, simultaneously having their contracted spirits fiercely protect them, leaving no opportunity for Chen Shu.
Clay, however, was subtly ostracized.
Who knew if the two were in cahoots?
Clay's expression turned ashen. "Idiots! I have nothing to do with him!"
"Everyone, allow me to say a few words first!"
Chen Shu said with a smile, "I am a student from Hua... ahem... Modu Beast Taming University!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a purple lightning bolt instantly struck, catching everyone off guard.
Chen Shu, however, remained unfazed. His Space Rabbit instantly unleashed [Spatial Barrier], easily blocking it.
"It seems everyone is still unfriendly?"
A cold glint appeared in Chen Shu's eyes.
He thought he had made an example of them, but it seemed it wasn't enough.
If he hadn't been worried about the relic key being destroyed, he would have already gone all out.
"Blocked so easily?"
A man from the Free Alliance was startled.
This was one of his trump cards, and few contracted spirits of the same tier could defend against it.
"Die for me!"
Chen Shu's gaze fell upon him, and the husky beside him had its eyes flashing red as it instantly unleashed [Death Fire Pillar]!
A terrifying Death Fire Pillar shot out, its scorching heat forcing everyone to distance themselves.
"You want to kill me?"
The genius raised an eyebrow and immediately had his Earth Element Spirit block in front.
Roar!
The Earth Element Spirit's body was covered in the glow of skills, its entire form enveloped by yellow earth, and three earth walls floated in the air. It was clear he was taking it seriously.
Boom!
The two sides collided, the intense noise making one's scalp tingle. The great wind novel.
The young man was originally extremely calm, but his expression gradually solidified.
Bang bang bang!
The three earth walls shattered one by one, unable to withstand the scorching heat and terrifying impact.
As the last line of defense, the Earth Element Spirit firmly stood in front of its master.
Boom!
Despite the energy depletion from the three earth walls, the power of the [Death Fire Pillar] remained terrifying.
The Death Fire Pillar struck, causing the yellow earth on the Earth Element Spirit's body to crack.
"Help me quickly! Otherwise, if I die, you won't have the key!"
The genius roared, his expression turning a little fearful.
His four teammates heard this and immediately acted, unleashing their respective defensive skills.
The collision between the two sides lasted for a full minute.
Finally, the energy of the Death Fire Pillar was depleted, but the yellow earth on the Earth Element Spirit was completely gone, and its life aura had weakened.
With just one skill, it had broken through the defenses of five people and heavily injured a defensive contracted spirit!
Everyone's expressions were horrified, and their idea of encircling Chen Shu began to waver.
"Blocked it?"
The genius wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, having narrowly escaped death just moments ago.
"Congratulations!"
Chen Shu grinned, a strange look in his eyes.
The man was startled and instinctively asked, "What?"
"You drew a 'try again'!"
The next instant, another terrifying [Death Fire Pillar] struck!
"Damn it! This is outrageous!"
"Something big is going to happen!"
Everyone's expressions trembled, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Boom!
The terrifying impact directly shattered the Earth Element Spirit's body, piercing through it.
The man, with a look of fear, quickly had his other two contracted spirits rush forward.
However, due to their lack of defensive proficiency, the two Silver-tier contracted spirits were instantly annihilated.
Boom boom!
The fire pillar continued to surge forward with terrifying heat.
"Am I going to die?"
The man's expression turned pale. The contracted spirit beneath his feet had died and began to fall.
He could only stare blankly at the approaching fire pillar, awaiting the arrival of death.
But just as the two were only a meter apart, the fire pillar instantly vanished into nothingness.
"Huh?"
Everyone's expressions were stunned, not understanding why the skill had disappeared.
However, cold sweat appeared on Clay's forehead, his gaze fixed on Chen Shu.
It was clearly the other party's control that made the fire pillar disappear. Such terrifying manipulation skills were something even Gold-tier Beast Tamers might not be able to achieve.
Just then, a fat rabbit suddenly appeared behind the man.
"Hoo hoo!"
The rabbit tugged forcefully, tearing open his clothes.
A glowing red stone appeared, which it promptly grasped.
Under everyone's astonished gazes, the rabbit pulled out a giant ten-meter carrot!
It looked at the man, its eyes becoming extremely excited.
It swung the carrot, like playing golf, and directly swung it out with immense force.
Bang!
The man was instantly sent flying, entering free-flight mode, and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
If nothing unexpected happened, he had met with an accident...
