Ch. 300 - The Strong Are Already Preparing to Dine...

New Novel - Read Here

"No worries, the Husky can take it!"

Chen Shu seemed to read the doubts of the four of them and calmly explained.

"Aroo! Aroo!"

From within the white mist came howls, as if responding to Chen Shu's words:

I can take it... my ass!

Fang Si spoke. "Go!"

The group nodded, and their contract spirits instantly unleashed their skills.

Skree!

The Black Thunder Bird's eyes blazed with skill light, and a lightning bolt suddenly blasted out, striking the vines that bound the Scarlet Flame Dragon directly.

Bang bang!

The vines snapped on impact, splashing black blood. The Thousand-Vine Poison Trees recoiled in pain and immediately retracted their vines.

"Woooo!"

Waves of strange sounds spread outward — somewhere between crying and laughing — making one's mind tremble.

"Roar!"

Freed from captivity, the Scarlet Flame Dragon beat its wings, and its body suddenly erupted with a ring of fire that covered nearly a hundred meters.

Searing heat filled the air, and the white mist completely dispersed.

Everyone's vision cleared. Ahead stood nine black trees, their vines dancing like arms — a truly bizarre and eerie sight.

"Dumb Husky!"

Chen Shu spotted it at a glance. The Dumb Husky was wrapped up by several vines, howling ceaselessly.

"Hm? So it really can't use its skills."

Chen Shu frowned slightly. Once bound by multiple vines, active skills would be sealed.

"Little Yellow, go!"

The Golden Slime's body expanded. Having swallowed a Black Iron Body-type Potion, its frame had reached a terrifying scale of nearly forty-five meters.

"Goo-gii!"

Little Yellow looked down at the tiny black trees in front of it and directly activated Charge!

BOOM BOOM BOOM!

Terrifying sounds echoed.

The vine-dancing poison trees froze for a moment. What the hell was this thing?!

Swoosh swoosh!

They had never seen something this huge before, but they still counterattacked.

Vines surged forward, seemingly attempting to bind the Slime.

But upon contact, they were instantly knocked aside — unable to hinder it even slightly.

They were all Black Iron Two-Star fierce beasts, but a charging Slime was just too unstoppable...

Meanwhile, the other contract spirits also jumped in.

The Enchanting Red Butterfly directly took control of one poison tree and stalled another.

The Black Thunder Bird continuously unleashed skills, locking onto one poison tree.

The Scarlet Flame Dragon let out a roar and directly engaged six poison trees in battle.

Its body was cloaked in terrifying flames — the vines could no longer bind it.

With Black Iron Three-Star combat power, even facing six fierce beasts, it still held the advantage.

BOOM BOOM BOOM!

Little Yellow crashed into its target poison tree. With its terrifying body size, it even cracked a massive fissure into the tree's trunk.

"Woooo!"

The poison tree flailed its vines wildly, letting out agonized wails.

Little Yellow's Charge skill ended, and it directly fell into a deep sleep right in front of the poison tree.

Such blatant contempt enraged the poison tree even further. Dozens of vines lashed out, binding the Slime tightly.

Hssss!

The vines were covered in sharp barbs, continuously scraping against the Slime's body — yet no wounds appeared.

Instead, Rebound Force activated, and fine cracks spread across the vines as blood seeped out.

This sent the Thousand-Vine Poison Tree into an even greater fury, and it mobilized every vine it had.

"Aroo!"

The Dumb Husky seized this chance to break free, its body tumbling onto the soft soil.

Chen Shu was perfectly calm — he had predicted this scene long ago. He had used the Slime as a trade to get the Dumb Husky back from the very start.

Just then, a green light shot over and entered the Husky's body.

Its wounds immediately began to heal.

It was Qiao Yue's other contract spirit: the Healing Green Caterpillar!

"Aroo!"

The Husky released its Clone skill.

Two huskies bounced around, putting distance between themselves and the poison trees before directly unleashing skills.

BOOM BOOM BOOM!

Fireballs, ice balls, wind blades, lightning strikes — the spectacular skill bombardment dealt heavy damage to the Thousand-Vine Poison Trees.

Their defense was not strong, and their resistance to fire and lightning elements was especially pitiful.

The situation was an absolute stomp!

"They're this weak and still dared to attack first?"

Chen Shu shook his head. At this moment, the Husky was going all out. Leveraging the power of Clone, it was the first to finish off a Thousand-Vine Poison Tree.

He had originally wanted the Slime to just sit one to death directly, but unexpectedly, it had not complied.

"Hm? Won't obey?"

Chen Shu paused. The Slime's obedience level was extremely high — this sort of situation had never happened before.

"Goo-gii!"

The Slime's dopey eyes looked at the Thousand-Vine Poison Tree's sharp crown, then it wiggled its butt — its intention was becoming rather obvious.

It was afraid of its butt getting punctured...

"Little Yellow, you've changed. How did you get this cowardly!"

Chen Shu sighed and turned to look at that black crown, covered in sharp poison thorns...

A chill ran down his own butt. Yeah... that really did look hard to take...

"Woooo~"

By now, the Scarlet Flame Dragon was nearly done with its battle.

It went all out, and all six poison trees burst into flames, continuously spewing black smoke that reeked horribly.

"Roar!"

The Scarlet Flame Dragon turned and locked onto the other two poison trees, spewing flames from its mouth and igniting them instantly.

"Get back!"

Fang Si spoke, and the contract spirits instantly pulled back, leaving the battlefield.

"Roar!"

The Boulder Colossus roared and, directly braving the flames, harvested the Heavenly Poison Flowers and returned.

"The Rock Monster came through! Got my flowers back."

Chen Shu grinned and silently stuffed all six Heavenly Poison Flowers into his own backpack.

"Let's move!"

Fang Si said decisively.

As long as they had rescued the Dumb Husky and harvested the Heavenly Poison Flowers, it did not matter whether the Thousand-Vine Poison Trees lived or died. A bunch of ordinary fierce beast corpses were not worth much.

Chen Shu nodded in agreement. "This much commotion could attract fierce beasts."

As soon as the words left his mouth, "ribbit ribbit" sounds came from another direction.

"Stop talking!"

The four of them stared wide-eyed. They had not expected Chen Shu's words to be this prophetic.

"Five Emerald Giant Frogs. Sis Fang Si, what's the plan?"

Qiao Yue spoke. Her Demon Eye Crow had already scouted the number of fierce beasts.

Fang Si was about to make a decision when her gaze flicked over. Her body trembled, and she blurted out:

"Chen Pi, what are you doing?!"

Chen Shu had already quietly opened his backpack and pulled out yet another iron pot.

The weak were still debating whether to run; the strong were already preparing to dine...[1]

[1] The weak debate, the strong dine (弱者…强者…): A viral Chinese internet meme template: "The weak are still [agonizing], while the strong have already [acted decisively]." Used ironically here — while others debate fight-or-flight, Chen Shu has already set up his cooking pot, reframing his food obsession as "decisive strength."
