Chapter 1021

The border between the Land of Iron and the Land of Fire.

The weather in the Land of Iron was cold, but the Land of Fire was like spring all year round. Just over a hundred kilometers away, Su Xiao had gone from a snowfield to a grassland.

A gentle breeze blew, and a few sparrows flew overhead. The air in the Qingchen Grassland was very fresh, and the dew dampened Su Xiao's trouser legs.

Beside a campfire, bursts of meaty aroma wafted out. Several large pieces of venison were roasting over the fire, the surface already golden-brown. Grease seeped out from the charred, fragrant venison, dripping into the fire and hissing. This was game caught by Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang.

"Gulp."

The sound of swallowing saliva came.

"Don't move."

Su Xiao glanced at Amu, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground. Amu immediately straightened its body like a student who had made a mistake.

At this moment, Su Xiao was holding a metal rod, tapping and hitting the bones exposed on Amu, judging whether these bones were damaged by the subtle changes in sound.

Soon, Su Xiao took out a plasma cutting saw and began to cut the charred bones on Amu's body.

Hum...

Charred black bone fragments splashed. Amu bared its full mouth of flat teeth, its eyes rolling back in pain. As a combat creature, it possessed very dense pain nerves, which allowed it to know clearly which parts of itself were damaged during combat, thereby taking countermeasures. In combat, pain is a very important ability; not having pain wouldn't enhance combat power but would instead weaken it.

About ten minutes later, the exposed bones on Amu's body were already pitted. Su Xiao took out a metal syringe and injected a highly active regenerative substance into Amu's body.

Amu's pseudo-biological bones regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye. When Amu's pseudo-biological bones had fully recovered, Su Xiao began to inspect them carefully again.

Confirming that Amu's bones had completed their recovery, Su Xiao took out another metal syringe, the syringe filled with dark red liquid.

Undoubtedly, Su Xiao's repair methods were very rough. The "Iron Bull" Amu had already begun to tremble.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang stood to the side, its fur standing on end. It swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a gulp and thought to itself: "Fortunately, this Wang is not an alchemy creature."

Su Xiao injected a total of three alchemy potions into Amu. After injecting the third alchemy potion, Amu's eyeballs rolled back, and it began to twitch on the ground.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang looked at Amu and then at Su Xiao, seemingly asking: "Master, Amu won't be dead, will it? I feel like it's going to kick the bucket at any moment."

"No problem. It's normal to have this reaction during the first repair. It will be much better in the future."

Hearing Su Xiao's words, Amu, who was "playing dead," looked at Su Xiao. It couldn't speak yet, but those bull eyes seemed to be asking: "Really? It won't be this painful in the future?"

Amu's pitiful eyes were full of anticipation.

"The pain won't be weakened; you'll get used to it after a few times."

Su Xiao sat in front of the campfire and began to flip the venison, occasionally using a dagger to slice a strip into the venison.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang seemed to have long expected Su Xiao to say this, and that dog face smiled somewhat wickedly.

Amu closed its eyes in despair, its body twitching from time to time. About half an hour later, Amu sat up with a huff. At this time, its injuries had healed, and brown-yellow fur had already grown on its body, which had previously been covered in burns.

"Moo~"

Amu howled toward the sky, quite in the style of Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang howling at the moon while standing on a mountain peak.

This was definitely learned from Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. In a relatively safe environment, as long as Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang saw a high point like a mountain peak or a snow pile, it would run up, stretch its neck, and howl. Over time, Amu had also learned it.

"Stop howling, eat."

Amu's long howl was different from Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's howl was more artistic; Amu's was a direct, neck-stretching roar, deafening.

Hearing the keyword "eat," Amu quickly ran to the campfire. As Amu rushed forward, Su Xiao and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang both tore off a large piece of venison without prior agreement.

About 23 seconds later, over 120 pounds of venison had disappeared, leaving only a pile of bones. The only two pieces of venison left were in the hands of Su Xiao and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang looked at the pile of bones in front of Amu and felt somewhat inferior; Amu had cleaned them even better than a dog could. At the same time, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang thought, wasn't Amu a "bovine animal"? It should eat grass; it should go chew grass when hungry and drink dew when thirsty.

Su Xiao and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang ate the venison slowly. Beside them, Amu, who had already eaten over 120 pounds of venison, was swallowing saliva, occasionally pulling a handful of grass from its side and putting it into its mouth to chew. Amu was omnivorous; it would even eat bed legs, let alone grass.

After resting for a while, Su Xiao led Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu to advance into the Land of Fire.

About two hours later, Su Xiao held a map in his hand, his gaze scanning the surroundings.

"Could it be that I went the wrong way? According to Bai Jue's intelligence, their ambush point should be right around here."

Just as Su Xiao was puzzled, a roar came from afar.

"It seems I wasn't wrong."

Su Xiao hurried toward the source of the sound. Soon, he arrived near a river and looked ahead, where there was a very wide stone bridge.

A purple phantom stood above the stone bridge. This phantom held a bow and crossbow, aiming at a target.

On the bridgehead of the stone bridge was a towering porch. Above the porch was a sculpture of a sheathed stone blade. This stone blade sculpture was three meters wide and ten meters long. On the porch below, a huge character "Wait" was written.

At this time, Uchiha Obito was sitting on the stone blade sculpture, watching the battle below from a high vantage point.

Su Xiao walked slowly toward the position where Obito was, leaped, and jumped onto the stone blade sculpture that was over ten meters high, with Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu following closely behind.

"Hmm?"

Obito, sitting on the stone blade sculpture, turned his head to look.

"You finished on your side?"

"Finished."

Su Xiao yawned; the successive battles earlier had made him slightly tired.

"Smoother than I imagined. Choosing to cooperate with you back then seems to have been a wise decision."

Obito seemed to be in a good mood. Su Xiao arriving at this time basically meant that Su Xiao had dealt with Chao Mei Ming.

"Just a personal grudge. How is that kid below being trained?"

Su Xiao sat on the edge of the stone blade, one leg dangling, looking at the two people fighting below.

"Progress is good. His Susanoo has almost reached the final stage. He is worthy of being Itachi's younger brother. However, his pupil power is severely overdrawn, and he will lose his vision before long. Young people don't know how to restrain themselves."

Obito seemed very satisfied with someone's growth.

Su Xiao looked at the stone bridge below. At the broken part of the stone bridge, two people were fighting: Uchiha Sasuke and Danzo.

At this time, Uchiha Sasuke was using Susanoo. His Susanoo had already reached the second form, no longer just a skeleton, but had already appeared "flesh and blood." Susanoo also had an extra bow in its hand, possessing long-range attack capabilities.

As for Sasuke's opponent, Danzo, he was fighting with one arm—his right arm. His right arm was almost entirely composed of Hashirama cells, and many Sharingan were embedded in it, a dense mass of them. Those rotating eyeballs looked exceptionally disgusting.

Sasuke had been fighting Danzo for some time. Blood was flowing from his eye sockets, and blood was also dripping from the corner of his mouth.

Sasuke turned his head to look at Su Xiao, who had just arrived. Su Xiao was now an ally; although very dangerous, Sasuke didn't feel much pressure.

Brother Danzo was different. At this moment, Brother Danzo's heart was somewhat collapsing. Sasuke's Susanoo and the "Uchiha Madara" watching from afar put great pressure on him. He had to deal with Sasuke while also constantly guarding against the Uchiha Madara in the distance; after all, the opponent had space abilities.

Brother Danzo's idea was to first use the technique on his right arm to deal with Sasuke. It would be best if he could kill him; if not, he had to take those eyes. Those were Sharingan capable of using Susanoo. Danzo had long coveted such high-level Sharingan.
