These three brats are acting strange!
Shen Wushuang stood on the Ice Phoenix, stroking his chin. A sense of unease crept into his heart.
Could they really be holding back some ultimate move?
He looked towards last night's battlefield. The corpses of the ferocious beasts had been completely consumed,
but large amounts of congealed blood still remained, testament to the ferocity of the battle.
Under the bright daylight, the beast tamers from the depths of the Ice Gorge began to depart.
Last night's fierce beast battle had made them aware of the crisis.
You three are really something, managing to scare off a group of Black Iron Beast Tamers.
Shen Wushuang stood in mid-air, his mouth twitching.
He was beginning to feel that bringing the three of them to this异空间 (yì kōngjiān - alternate dimension) was a wrong decision.
Would things have been much better if he had just awarded them the championship directly?
A day passed, and night quietly descended once more.
Old Shen, it's my turn!
The Black Iron Three-Star Spirit Guardian soldier arrived at the depths of the gorge again, preparing to relieve Shen Wushuang.
No need, I'll take it again tonight.
Shen Wushuang spoke, a vigilant look in his eyes.
Go back. Don't you trust me? Staying up late is bad for your health.
It's fine, I'm pulling an all-nighter tonight!
Since Shen Wushuang insisted, the Spirit Guardian soldier said no more and left the Ice Gorge.
My heart feels like it's beating a bit fast.
Shen Wushuang touched his chest, his gaze fixed intently on the cave where Chen Shu and the other two were.
Shunzi! Two left!
Chen Shu waved the cards in his hand, looking confident of victory.
Xie Sunan said, "Pass."
Boom!
Xu Xingxing threw out another bomb.
Are you sick in the head? Old Xie is the landlord, why are you bombing me?
Chen Shu looked at the pair of threes left in his hand, falling into deep contemplation.
Xu Xingxing said calmly, "I'm giving you cards, aren't I?"
Pair of threes!
Chen Shu's mouth twitched, and he took a deep breath: "Do you know what the saddest thing to add between 'pair' and 'three' is?"
"What?"
"Pair of threes, I can't play!"
Chen Shu threw down his cards and said, "I'm not playing anymore. I will never play Dou Dizhu with Xu Xingxing again in this life."
He looked out at the deep night outside the cave again,
"Time to get to work!"
Chen Shu and the other two quickly made their preparations and emerged from the cave.
"This will be the beginning of our dominance over the Ice Gorge! We must seize this opportunity!"
The three exchanged glances and nodded heavily.
Little Xing, let's go!
The three of them mounted the back of the mutated Thunderbird.
After a day of recovery, the mutated Thunderbird was still magnificent, its blue feathers gleaming brilliantly, only its hindquarters a patch of black.
After a while, the three approached the territory of the Frost Giant Wolves again.
Hmm? They're not asleep?
Chen Shu's brow furrowed. Using his flashlight, he vaguely peered down at the dense wolf pack below.
Roar! Roar!
Instantly, wolf howls intertwined and echoed, shattering the silence of the Ice Gorge.
Could they be waiting for us?
Chen Shu frowned, but then he realized he was overthinking.
How could they mobilize such a massive force to deal with them?
Suddenly, countless blue lights appeared in the distance of the gorge, hovering in the air, looking incredibly eerie.
"Holy crap! This is going to reignite the feud!"
Chen Shu immediately recognized the source of the blue lights as a swarm of ferocious Ice Bats.
As expected, two warring races! I thought last night was the end, but it was just the prelude!
Roar! Roar!
On the ground not far away, another group of terrifying ferocious beasts appeared.
Chen Shu shone his flashlight, vaguely seeing massive, sturdy bears.
Another powerful ferocious beast of the Ice Gorge: the Snow Bear!
Chen Pi, there are beast groups coming from another direction too!
There are also beasts coming from straight ahead!
From the rear left, there are also countless beast auras!
Xie Sunan's expression showed a hint of panic, and he was already contemplating retreat.
What is this? A gorge party?!
Within each beast group, there must be a Lord.
Let alone the terrifying Lords, even a single Black Iron-level beast would be enough to tear them to shreds.
Roar!
Instantly, a colossal Ice Wolf Lord stepped forward, raising its head and roaring,
as if announcing the start of a great battle!
Innumerable Ice Bats, densely packed, hovered in the sky, their blue eyes emitting a light that even temporarily dispelled the darkness of the gorge.
Eerie blue light, ferocious beasts, biting cold wind, it truly felt like the underworld.
The Ice Bat Lord also stepped forward, letting out an extremely fierce shriek.
The battle between the two species was imminent!
And not far away, the other beast groups showed no inclination to take sides. They watched the battle in the middle with a leisurely air.
It turns out that spectating is not just human nature.
Chen Pi, maybe we should leave?
Xie Sunan swallowed, saying, "With so many ferocious beasts, my small body can't possibly feed them all."
No!
Chen Shu shook his head firmly and said, "If I don't detonate tonight, I probably won't be able to sleep!"
You might regret it for a moment if you detonate, but you'll regret it forever if you don't!
Chen Shu looked at the two of them and said in a low voice,
"What you need isn't just courage, but a roar from the bottom of your heart! Tell me, do you want to be a coward for your entire life, or a hero for one second!"
Xu Xingxing's expression jolted, as if he had found a kindred spirit.
Xie Sunan, on the other hand, had a twitch at the corner of his mouth: "Forget it! I just want to live, I don't want to be mentally deranged!"
Alright, Old Xie, you go. Xiao Xing and I will stay!
Chen Shu nodded calmly.
"Don't say anything! Without the Thunderbirds, how can I leave?!"
Xie Sunan's forehead was covered in black lines. You two are forcing me onto this treacherous ship, aren't you?
Don't worry, we'll run after detonating the bombs!
Chen Shu patted his shoulder, consoling him.
The mutated Thunderbirds and the insect butterflies didn't possess strong auras, and they couldn't attract the attention of the beast groups at all. How could they be more interesting than the battle in the middle?
Roar!
The Ice Bats and the Frost Giant Wolves clashed directly.
Several Ice Bats combined to tear at a Frost Giant Wolf. Instantly, the wolf's sanity vanished, and its blood froze.
Another Giant Wolf's claws shimmered with cold light. With a single swipe, it tore an Ice Bat's body to shreds.
The two sides fought back and forth,
soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals!
The two Lord-level beasts also began to fight, unleashing all sorts of ice-elemental skills.
In the distance, Chen Shu and Xu Xingxing watched, looking like mere spectators.
Xie Sunan's eyes still held panic. The insect butterflies were already trembling, not even daring to use their reconnaissance skills.
He asked, "Chen Pi, what are you waiting for?"
"Wait, it's too exciting, I want to watch a bit longer. There's absolutely no dull moment!"
Xie Sunan's mouth twitched. You two are truly watching the show with your lives on the line!
