The great man's black bird let out a cry beneath his feet,
its body emanating a deep black light, as if merging with the night, its speed instantly increasing by a large margin.
Xie Su Nan frowned slightly and said, "It's catching up!"
"Nonsense, anyone can see that!" Chen Shu replied.
Behind the three was a dazzling green light, illuminating the dark canyon completely, making it impossible to ignore.
It was the light of life, the light of love!
"No problem!" Xu Xing Xing said with utmost calmness.
On both sides of the mutated thunderbird's body, a pair of new wings had grown.
Although they were condensed from blue light and shadow, they still greatly increased the mutated thunderbird's speed.
Chen Shu's mouth twitched as he tightly gripped the mutated thunderbird's feathers and said,
"Are all your skills for escaping?"
Xu Xing Xing said matter-of-factly, "Of course, survival is the most important thing. My family fully supports me!"
The mutated thunderbird continued unhurriedly, occasionally stopping to shake its tail, always maintaining a certain distance from the great man.
"I advise you to behave yourself and stop chasing!" Chen Shu said.
The alien space would be even more dangerous at night, as many fierce beasts were nocturnal.
"Boy! You must pay the price today!"
The cold wind was biting, but his anger did not diminish in the slightest.
The green light above the great man's head was too dazzling in the night.
As the two sides pursued each other, fierce beasts had already quietly approached.
"Damn it! Run! A large group of fierce beasts is approaching!"
Xie Su Nan's body suddenly trembled and he spoke, a hint of panic in his eyes.
Xu Xing Xing nodded, ordering the mutated thunderbird to accelerate with all its might and head forward.
At this moment, Chen Shu's eyes narrowed.
He saw clusters of blue light appearing in all directions in the distance, dense and countless, like ghost fires floating in the night.
"Holy crap! We've run into a flock of ice bats!"
Black bats flew through the air, their blue eyes deep, filled with ferocity and brutality.
The apex predators of the night were on the move!
The ice bat flock was one of the beast tides in the Ice Canyon, and its danger level was extremely high. No beast tamer group dared to confront it head-on.
The spirit tamer in the sky looked slightly serious, and his contracted spirit below was also fully alert, ready to save the three at any moment.
"Damn it! Why are we so unlucky!"
The great man cursed profusely, today was definitely the unluckiest day.
The key was that countless ice bats were staring at the green light above his head with greedy eyes.
The two looked at Chen Shu in unison, "Chen Pi, what do you say? There are definitely lord-level ice bats inside!"
Chen Shu's eyes flickered, and options immediately appeared.
[Option 1: Rely on your own powerful strength to annihilate the entire ice bat flock! Reward: Promoted to Bronze-tier Beast Tamer! Additional Reward: An Immortal Tombstone!]
[Option 2: Shout heroically, "We're going to die! We forfeit the competition!" Reward: Medium amount of Beast Taming Power]
[Option 3: Head towards the deepest part of the canyon, using more ferocious beasts to deter the ice bat flock. Reward: +1 Charge Skill]
Chen Shu's mouth twitched, "What's with the additional reward for the first option?"
"What use do I have for this tombstone?!"
"Head down into the canyon!" Chen Shu said. The three were already below five hundred meters.
If they continued to descend, they would inevitably encounter more powerful fierce beasts.
The mutated thunderbird let out a cry, its speed instantly increasing. Using its agile movements, it temporarily shook off the ice bat flock.
"Should I stop them? These three really don't fear death!"
The spirit tamer stroked his chin, a hint of hesitation in his eyes, but ultimately did not intervene.
"Faster!"
A large group of ice bats was still relentlessly pursuing the mutated thunderbird.
Meanwhile, the great man was in a terrible plight, as the green light above his head attracted most of the ice bats.
"You think you're tough, huh!"
The great man's contracted spirit beneath him turned around and headed towards the canyon above.
Chen Shu and the other two descended deeper and deeper, the night growing darker, their vision limited to within five meters.
Fortunately, Xie Su Nan's insect-butterfly could detect the location of fierce beasts, and with the mutated thunderbird's extreme speed, they were temporarily out of danger.
"Damn it, are these bats crazy?"
Chen Shu kept looking back, they were still being chased madly, and there were even Bronze-tier existences among them.
After a moment, Xie Su Nan said with a solemn expression, "There's another group of fierce beasts directly below!"
"Let's go check it out!"
The mutated thunderbird descended rapidly. Everyone felt the temperature dropping, and they couldn't help but shiver.
"Hoo hoo."
Thunderous snoring sounds came from below, one after another, as if countless fierce beasts were fast asleep.
Chen Shu's eyes lit up, and he immediately saw nearly ten brilliant blue lights below.
"Holy shit! Level two ice leaf flowers!"
Xie Su Nan and Xu Xing Xing's bodies trembled, and they immediately said, "You can see that clearly from so far away?"
"Talent, it's all talent," Chen Shu explained, greed in his eyes.
Level two ice leaf flowers were used to configure bronze-tier ice-attribute potions, and their value could be multiplied several times.
"Stay quiet, let's go pick the ice leaf flowers!"
The three were all excited, completely disregarding the consequences.
The mutated thunderbird silently descended. As they got closer, everyone could see the fierce beasts on the ground.
They were ice wolves with powerful bodies!
"What a coincidence?"
Before the three could think further, the mutated thunderbird approached the level two ice leaf flowers.
Chen Shu, with extreme roughness, plucked them.
Although some of the medicinal properties would be lost, it was already inconsequential.
As if sensing the disturbance, the ice wolves near the ice leaf flowers opened their eyes.
They were bewildered by what they saw.
"Huh? Where's the herb?"
The ice wolves, with their limited brain capacity, were a bit slow to react.
After a moment, it finally let out a roar.
"Roar!"
A wolf's howl echoed, and countless ice wolves woke up.
Ice leaf flowers not only could be used to configure medicinal liquids but also could enhance the ice-attribute power of fierce beasts if consumed directly.
The loss of the guarded medicinal materials naturally enraged the ice wolf pack.
"Roar! Roar!"
The intertwined wolf howls made the depths of the canyon terrifying.
"Stole it and ran, so exciting!"
Chen Shu and the other two, filled with excitement, fled rapidly into the distance.
At this moment, the ice wolf pack immediately locked onto the ice bats in the sky as the culprits.
Ice wolves were notoriously violent, and ice bats were not to be trifled with.
The two sides looked at each other, as if saying:
"What are you looking at?"
"What are you going to do about it?"
Then, a life-and-death battle began!
"If you want to fight, then fight! Let's see who gets smashed first!"
