"Two possibilities,"
Chen Shu sat down and said slowly, "One is that humans act as messengers, for example, the Sacred Beast Association!"
"This is highly likely."
Wang Jue nodded and said, "Fierce beasts cannot leave their dimensional spaces, but humans can enter and exit freely, just needing to pay a small entrance fee."
"As for the other possibility..."
Chen Shu's expression turned serious, "They can communicate through the spatial fog!"
"Impossible!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Liang and the others immediately rejected it.
"The fog is a forbidden zone for all life. What level of fierce beasts can pass through it?"
Xie Sunan shook his head and said, "If they could truly pass through, the Dragon Abyss creatures could easily travel to other dimensional spaces and then invade Blue Star, which would surely catch humans off guard."
According to the most likely theory, countless dimensional spaces might be on the same continent, merely separated by the spatial fog.
If the effect of the spatial fog were to disappear, the dimensional spaces would merge.
At that time, it would likely signal the outbreak of a true great crisis.
"It's not necessarily about passing through,"
Chen Shu shook his head and said, "It might just be about transmitting information."
His eyes were thoughtful as he recalled the giant green claw within the fog.
The Fire Dragon King had mistakenly entered the fog back then and was severely beaten by the beings within, almost losing its life. This also indicated that the spatial fog was hostile to fierce beasts as well.
"Actually, none of this is important,"
Ah Liang shook his head and said, "The most crucial thing is that fierce beasts from different dimensional spaces have begun to unite!"
"Hmm?"
Everyone was slightly startled but immediately realized the danger.
"It is indeed a bit ominous."
Chen Shu's expression was solemn as he said, "I once went to the [Living Wood Marsh] and witnessed its fusion with the [Blazing Sun Hill]!"
"Back then, the two monarchs were killing each other, to the point of wanting to determine life and death. This meant that fierce beasts from different dimensional spaces were incompatible."
"That's right,"
Xu Xingxing nodded, "But now, a rare joint effort has indeed occurred! And it involves all the dimensional spaces in the entire country!"
"What's there to fear? As long as the spatial fog is present, fierce beasts pose no threat."
Xie Sunan, however, shook his head and said, "Whether they communicate or not, it has no impact."
"Old Xie, it's not like that,"
Xu Xingxing said, "This is the first time fierce beasts have united, and it's actually just a probing attack!"
"Probing?"
Xie Sunan's brow furrowed, "They've already reached Blue Star, and it's still a probe?"
"Xiao Xing is right,"
Ah Liang also nodded with a solemn expression, "Although the fierce beasts are rioting, as far as I know, the monarchs haven't made a move. They've only revealed their auras to intimidate humanity."
"Think about it, if all the monarchs led the fierce beasts of their respective dimensional spaces and launched a full-scale assault on the Zhen Ling Army strongholds, what would happen?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Sunan's expression changed dramatically, "In that case... we won't be able to hold them off?!"
The reason humanity could defend Blue Star was because, once dimensional spaces rioted, they could mobilize forces to provide support at any time.
However, if all dimensional spaces rioted simultaneously, there would be no advantage in providing support.
"It's unlikely we'll fall,"
Chen Shu shook his head and said, "We've survived for nearly a thousand years, so we naturally have our methods. We just cannot ignore this crisis."
"You've all made me a little scared,"
Xie Sunan twitched his lips and said, "I kind of want to run, what should I do?"
"..."
Ah Liang's forehead was covered in black lines, "Run for what? Besides, if the whole world falls, where else can you run to?"
"That makes sense too,"
Xie Sunan nodded, realizing that he wouldn't even be able to escape.
"Alright, don't worry too much,"
Chen Shu smiled and said, "We are just a group of Silver-ranked individuals. If the sky falls, the taller ones will hold it up, so what's there to fear?"
Everyone nodded, their expressions relaxing. Even if a major crisis occurred, their strength couldn't change much.
"Will there be a crisis? How can I develop peacefully?"
Chen Shu's expression was calm, but his heart had already developed a sense of crisis.
As a man with a cheat, he vowed that he would never die easily!
...
Half an hour later, on a desolate grassland,
Rumble!
The Slime in the air opened its mouth, and various skills shot out from within.
Below, a black rhinoceros could only silently endure the onslaught of attacks.
Every time it tried to pursue, Xiao Huang would directly create distance, employing kite-flying tactics.
Before long, a golden mutated fierce beast perished here!
The Space Bird's eyes moved, and it collected its corpse.
"A mutated fierce beast is gone just like that?"
Ah Liang and the others looked on in disbelief. This was a Golden-ranked fierce beast, two minor ranks and one major rank below them!
"Don't be surprised!"
Chen Shu pouted. When he was in Nancang City, he had already killed a Golden-ranked mutated beast.
Erha's attack power was too monstrous; killing mutated fierce beasts was basically without any accidents.
"Guji!"
The Slime took to the sky again, and the little raccoon on Wang Jue's body had a glint in its eyes. An invisible barrier enveloped the Slime, concealing its aura.
The group continued to search for the Lord's whereabouts.
Of course, if they encountered a lone Golden-ranked mutated fierce beast, they would naturally earn some extra income.
Chen Shu and the others thought it would take some time to locate them,
But just five minutes after they left, a faint green light appeared on the Butterfly Insect, clearly indicating the presence of life.
"It's here! It's here! The big one is coming!"
Xie Sunan's body trembled as he continuously received information from the Butterfly Insect.
"Three kilometers ahead to the left! The Lord's aura!"
"It's really here?"
Everyone's expressions simultaneously tensed up, and they immediately became more alert, not expecting to encounter it so soon.
"Chen Pi, what do you think?"
Ah Liang and the others looked towards Chen Shu, as only he had the ability to kill a Golden-ranked Lord.
"Don't rush!"
Chen Shu took out the camouflage potion from his backpack, his eyes filled with thought.
"Xiao Xing, I'll ride your mutated lightning bird to observe first! You guys wait for my news!"
The Slime's size was too large; as long as a fierce beast had eyes, it would basically be visible.
Xu Xingxing nodded and summoned the mutated lightning bird.
"If you encounter danger, notify me!"
Chen Shu said, and at the same time, he and Erha boarded the mutated lightning bird and headed straight for the Lord's location.
"Little Lei, ascend higher!"
He patted the lightning bird's head, worried about being attacked by the Lord.
The lightning bird immediately understood and rapidly ascended, reaching the clouds to conceal itself.
Coupled with the barrier from the little raccoon, the Lord would likely be unable to detect it.
"Descend a bit!"
Chen Shu took out a specially made telescope and scanned the ground below.
He saw a small mountain peak covered in wild grass, clearly a place rarely visited by humans.
Longjiang Province was not a place for ordinary people to live; areas outside the cities were naturally overgrown with weeds, desolate and secluded.
"Hmm? Found it!"
Chen Shu's eyes flickered, and a hint of shock appeared in them.
He saw a terrifying fierce beast, nearly twenty meters tall, crouched on the summit of the mountain below.
Its body resembled a majestic lion, but it possessed three heads, and it spewed different elemental powers: fire, lightning, and hurricane!
Beside the lion-beast, two golden mutated fierce beasts stood like guards, vigilantly observing their surroundings.
"A Gold-ranked one-star Lord?"
Chen Shu murmured to himself, and at the same time, he stroked Erha beside him.
"Roar!"
Erha immediately understood and unleashed various skills towards the distant sky.
The sole purpose was to stack the enhancement of [Persistent Onslaught].
Before long, Erha's [Persistent Onslaught] stacked to its maximum, its combat power even comparable to a Gold-ranked two-star.
Chen Shu made Erha drink a gulp of camouflage potion, and it instantly became the darling of all things.
"Go down and give it a good one!"
Erha's expression was excited, its eyes filled with eagerness.
It could finally shove its skills into the enemy's belly.
