“Really?”
Doubt flickered in Liu Feng’s eyes. Judging by this guy’s usual behavior, it was likely nothing good.
“Right, Teacher Liu, how long does it take to fly back to Huaguo?”
Seeing Liu Feng’s wariness, Chen Shu could only resort to the powerful technique of changing the subject.
“Two or three days!”
The Governor of Nancang said, “The key is whether there are any fierce beasts intercepting us!”
Chen Shu nodded and said earnestly:
“Thank you all for accompanying me.”
If he were to ride his contracted spirit back alone, he would likely encounter danger.
But now, with three King-level powerhouses guarding him, he could traverse anywhere with impunity.
“We can also use this opportunity to scout,”
Chen Qinghai stated, “Recently, the dimensional rifts within the country have been in turmoil. We need to assess the situation of the dimensional rifts in public territories!”
If the public dimensional rifts were also in turmoil, and even Monarchs appeared on Blue Star, Huaguo would need to prepare in advance.
“Furthermore, the most important thing is…”
Chen Qinghai coughed and said, “The three of us have to do something when we’re abroad, otherwise, we’ll just be aimless wanderers like you.”
“…”
Just then, a beastly roar suddenly erupted!
In the distance, a black shark was roaring with astonishing might.
It was actually a fierce beast of the Silver Lord tier!
“Hmm?”
The three King-level powerhouses were about to instantly kill it, but a pillar of fire suddenly appeared.
The terrifying high temperature caused the black shark to wail in agony, preparing to dive into the water to reduce the skill’s damage.
However, in an instant, nine terrifying ice spikes appeared, instantly piercing its body.
Along with the impact of the [Deathly Fire Pillar], the black shark’s life force gradually weakened, and it finally dissipated completely.
A Silver Lord had met its end here!
“Huh?!”
Qin Tian and the others stared at him, as if they had seen a ghost.
“What’s going on?! Did you actually become a Gold Beast Tamer?!”
“What a fuss!”
Chen Shu pouted and said, “I’ve already grown up, haven’t I?”
“A Silver Two-star contracted spirit has reached Gold-level strength?!”
Qin Tian looked bewildered, unable to react for a moment.
“Are you flying on a rocket?!”
Liu Feng was shocked. This guy was growing far too quickly.
He now understood Chen Shu’s gaze just now. He was probably plotting against him…
“Not bad! Truly not bad!”
Qin Tian put away his shock, his expression becoming incredibly excited.
The Governor of Nancang and Chen Qinghai were similarly filled with relief in their eyes.
Huaguo had not seen such a genius in a very long time!
“Old Liu, you should be careful…”
Qin Tian raised an eyebrow, a teasing smile on his face.
“…”
Liu Feng’s lips twitched, and he said, “I’m Gold Three-star, what am I afraid of?”
Just then, bursts of explosions echoed from below.
Boom, boom, boom!
Dozens of giant water bombs were rapidly approaching!
“Hmm?”
The Governor of Nancang was slightly startled, a hint of coldness appearing in his expression.
*Screech!*
The Sky Ice Phoenix King’s eyes flashed with blue light, and a frost descended, colliding with the water bombs.
In an instant, the incoming water bombs were instantly frozen into ice and fell downwards.
*Roar, roar!*
On the distant sea surface, black sharks began to surface, all with fierce expressions.
“So many?!”
Chen Shu’s eyes widened. The fierce beasts ahead were at least five hundred in number, and they were all of Silver-level strength.
One had to remember, this was Blue Star, not an alternate dimension!
“Be careful!”
Chen Qinghai said, “We’re entering the Dead Sea territory ahead!”
“Hmm? Dead Sea territory?”
Chen Shu was slightly startled, a trace of confusion in his eyes.
“It’s the public sea territory on Blue Star with the most dimensional rifts!”
A Liang explained, “Before the spiritual energy resurgence, there were almost no living creatures in the sea territory, hence it was called the Dead Sea territory!”
“But now, this is probably the sea territory with the largest number of creatures on Blue Star, and they are all powerful fierce beasts!”
Chen Shu nodded, not expecting that Blue Star also had dangerous areas.
He asked, “If this is allowed to develop, aren’t you afraid of fierce beasts threatening humanity?”
“There’s no way. We simply don’t have enough manpower.”
Qin Tian explained, “But fortunately, Legendary Beast Tamers conduct joint clearances periodically!”
“If all else fails, we’ll just flatten it with a nuke!”
Chen Shu stroked his chin, an idea forming in his eyes.
“…”
Everyone’s lips twitched. Was he addicted to throwing nukes?
But they didn’t stop him, instead saying:
“If you truly have enough nukes, you can seal off the dimensional rifts here.”
“Really?”
Chen Shu’s eyes lit up. He hadn’t expected this idea to be approved.
“Of course, the premise is that it doesn’t affect the other regions of Blue Star!”
Seeing his excited expression, Qin Tian quickly reminded him.
If there were too many, and Blue Star was destroyed, wouldn’t that be a joke?
“If there’s an opportunity, come on over!”
Chen Shu shrugged. He needed two conditions to do this:
One was to have enough enhanced explosives, and the other was for the system to provide a reward-rich option.
He didn’t want to throw nukes just because he had nothing better to do, unless the fierce beasts truly became uncontrollable.
*Chit, chit, chit!*
At this moment, the Sky Ice Phoenix King flapped its wings, unleashing countless blades condensed from ice and snow.
The hundreds of fierce beasts below had their heads pierced, their blood dyeing the azure sea surface red, creating an extremely bizarre scene.
The gap between Silver and King-level was too vast!
Qin Tian said, “Let’s take a detour! The Dead Sea territory is a waste of time!”
The Governor of Nancang nodded. The Dead Sea territory was not within their scouting range.
Just then, an option appeared before Chen Shu:
[Option One: Explore the Dead Sea territory with everyone! Completion Reward: Skill ‘Power Shield’ +2]
[Option Two: Take a detour! Completion Reward: Moderate Beast Taming Power]
[Option Three: Go to the Dead Sea territory alone! Completion Reward: Teleportation Potion *1]
Chen Shu’s eyes showed a hint of contemplation. He hadn’t expected this to trigger an option.
“Wait a moment!”
Chen Shu said, “How about we take a look at the Dead Sea territory?”
“Hmm?”
Qin Tian and the others turned to look at him, their eyes filled with confusion.
Seeing their expressions, Chen Shu’s eyes darted, and he said earnestly:
“I believe the fierce beasts in the public sea territories are actually closely related to our safety!”
He said righteously, “If all countries only mind their own business, when will Blue Star ever regain true peace?!”
“???”
Qin Tian and the others were instantly even more bewildered.
“Are those really your lines? Did you grab the wrong script!”
Liu Feng’s lips twitched, and he immediately questioned, “Speak! What is your ultimate goal?!”
At this moment, he seemed to have thought of something and quickly said:
“Are your enemies’ ancestral graves buried in there?!”
“…”
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback. What kind of ridiculous logic was that?!
Besides, whose ancestral graves would be built in such a cursed place?
