“Be careful!”
Chen Shu retracted Er Ha back into Xiao Huang’s mouth, his eyes now filled with vigilance.
The异空间 (Yì Kōng Jiān - Otherworldly Space) might not be uninhabited; another fierce battle was likely imminent.
A Liang and the other two nodded, ready to summon their contract spirits at any moment.
The four of them blinked, and their vision shifted, transporting them into the Nightmare-level 异空间 (Yì Kōng Jiān - Otherworldly Space), the [Fiery Plains].
However, the space was not occupied by anyone, not even the trace of a camp.
“As expected, it’s just a simple toll…”
Chen Shu’s mouth twitched, but he felt no surprise.
The reason why 异空间 (Yì Kōng Jiān - Otherworldly Spaces) in Hua Guo charged a toll was mainly because the鎮靈軍 (Zhèn Líng Jūn - Spirit Suppressing Army) constantly guarded the safety of Blue Star, and thus the toll money was needed for their military pay.
This stationed army in Ke Luo State was truly just collecting a toll,
and completely disregarded safety issues.
“Eh? The location of the ruins?”
Chen Shu gazed into the distance, easily spotting a red pillar of light shooting into the sky, even dyeing the horizon red.
“Let’s go!”
Chen Shu smiled and immediately ordered Xiao Huang to charge forward at full speed, heading straight for the ruins.
“Chen Pi, we’ve offended people from the Freedom Alliance. Will there be any trouble on our way back?”
Xiao Xing’s eyes showed some worry.
Chen Shu had shown no mercy earlier and had completely destroyed the entire military camp.
“What trouble could there be?”
Chen Shu smiled and said calmly, “If anyone dares to block our path, I’ll just throw a nuclear bomb, no hesitation!”
“……”
The three of them didn’t doubt Chen Shu’s words and silently prayed for the people of the Freedom Alliance.
“Awooo~~”
Just then, Er Ha beside Chen Shu let out a bark, becoming spirited again, its crimson eyes also disappearing.
“Evolution complete?”
His expression lit up, and he let out a sigh of relief.
“Evolution?!”
A Liang and the other two exclaimed in unison, staring intently at Chen Shu and saying,
“Your contract spirit can evolve at will?!”
“Making a fuss!”
Chen Shu shrugged and said, “Aren’t you used to it yet?”
Upon hearing this, the three of them fell silent.
Indeed, this didn’t seem to be the first time…
“You really have a problem!”
The three of them still couldn’t accept it. They had never seen anyone evolve at will.
Otherwise, the potential ratings of contract spirits would have been chaotic long ago.
“Can you share some pointers…”
The three of them crowded around. If they could master this method, wouldn’t they take off directly?
“Actually, it’s not evolution!”
Chen Shu said with a serious expression, “My contract spirit’s bloodline is too powerful. It can only be called unlocking a seal!”
“Unlocking?”
The three of them were swayed and stunned, almost believing him.
“For example, my Er Ha here, it looks like a dog, but it’s actually a divine beast with the bloodline of the Heavenly Phoenix!”
“Wait a minute! Wait a minute!”
The three of them immediately sensed something was wrong.
A Liang’s forehead was covered in black lines, and he said, “How can a dog and a phoenix be related?!”
“Definitely!”
Chen Shu said, “Otherwise, why would its elemental skills be so monstrous, especially the fire attribute!”
“It does seem to make some sense…”
The three of them fell into silence, vaguely believing him.
“So don’t be jealous. If you want bloodline evolution, diligently level up!”
Chen Shu patted the three’s shoulders and said earnestly,
“Hard work is the only way to become a strong person!”
The three of them nodded instinctively, but then felt something was off.
It felt a bit too incongruous for Nan Jiang Han Fei to say this…
At this moment, Chen Shu ignored the three and opened his status panel to check Er Ha’s information.
As soon as he opened the panel, a line of information immediately appeared in his mind:
[Due to special circumstances during bloodline evolution, all elemental attributes have increased by 10%!]
“Hmm?”
Chen Shu was slightly stunned. Now he understood why Er Ha had suddenly acted up.
It turned out there were special circumstances!
He didn’t dwell on it. Bloodline evolution was inherently unknown, and any situation arising was reasonable.
At this time, Er Ha’s panel appeared:
Name: Destruction Elemental Beast
Temperament: Lively, Highly Intelligent
Attribute: All-around
Lifeform Species: Beast Class
Talents: [Elemental Mastery] [Extreme Cooling] [Elemental Armor Break]
Skills: [Fireball Barrage lv6] [Continuous Assault lv3] [Ice Ball Spray lv2] [Wind Blade lv2] [Lightning Strike lv3] [Clone lv4] [Infernal Fire Pillar lv11] [Giant Wind Blade lv5] [Deadly Poison Wood Bind lv4] [Sandstorm Pebble lv3] [Heavenly Fire Meteorite lv4] [True Damage Ice Spike lv3] [Elemental Annihilation lv1]
Exclusive Skill: Dog Shadow Tracker
Potential Rating: A
Chen Shu stroked his chin, his eyes showing a hint of disappointment. No new talents were learned, and the name hadn’t changed either.
However, fortunately, the three fire-attribute skills had all improved, especially [Heavenly Fire Meteorite], which had leveled up by two grades.
If they could enter the ruins, it would fulfill a system option, allowing it to level up by another grade.
[Heavenly Fire Meteorite], as a Golden Lord skill, was quite powerful, even comparable to the high-level Infernal Fire Pillar. However, hitting a target was somewhat difficult.
But in Chen Shu’s opinion, no flaw couldn’t be compensated by skill levels.
If there was, then level it up ten more times!
“Chen Shu, are you sure your dog really evolved?”
A Liang and the other two turned to look, their eyes showing suspicion.
“Look at its aura, look at those intelligent eyes, doesn’t that explain it?”
Chen Shu’s mood was cheerful, pointing to Er Ha’s eyes, which were clearly filled with wisdom.
“……”
A Liang said, “Your contract spirit’s evolutions have never shown any obvious changes!”
“Hmm?”
Chen Shu was slightly stunned. He felt like it was indeed the case.
“Do you know what inner strength and understated elegance mean?”
He pouted and said, “I dare say that the intelligence of SSS-class contract spirits now can’t even compare to Er Ha’s.”
“Owoooow!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of urgent dog barks sounded.
“Huh?”
The four of them blinked in unison, turning their heads to look. They saw that the sound was actually coming from Xiao Huang’s throat.
It didn’t fall out, did it…
Chen Shu had a vague premonition.
“Gulp~~”
Just then, Xiao Huang seemed to have an itchy throat and immediately started coughing violently.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~
A strong gust of wind blew, and Er Ha successfully flew out, a cheerful smile on its face.
“This is what you call intelligence?”
A Liang and the other two’s mouths twitched, feeling utterly ridiculous. This was actively providing a snack for the slime…
