“Why are you looking at me like that?”
Chen Shu shrugged, his face full of innocence.
“What did you just do?”
A Liang swallowed, the terrifying explosions still echoing in his ears.
“Just sent a blessing.”
Chen Shu smiled and said, “Expressing the goodwill of a fierce bandit.”
With that, Little Yellow opened its massive maw, and the four of them saw the situation outside the red light pillar. The light pillar of the ruins could not only isolate Beast Tamers of Silver tier and above but also block all energy impacts, making them unaffected by nuclear bombs.
“Ah, this…”
The three of them opened their mouths, staring blankly at the white sun. After a while, the effect of the explosive potion finally wore off. Those who survived were in a sorry state, covered in dust and grime, but at least they had saved their lives. Some were unlucky and were immediately engulfed by the nuclear bomb, perishing instantly. In fact, the explosive potion’s power couldn’t even kill an Iron-tier lord; a Silver contract spirit could generally block it. But the explosion was too sudden, and some Beast Tamers didn’t even have time to let their contract spirits act. They could only be considered very unlucky.
“You… you…”
Klaus’s lips trembled, his face a little pale. He had never met such an outrageous person, who would create such a grand spectacle upon meeting.
“What about me?”
Chen Shu had Little Yellow slowly fly out of the red light pillar and glanced down. A thousand-meter-wide crater had appeared on the ground, filled with scorching ground fire, like a scene from the apocalypse.
“This person is likely from a criminal organization!”
Golden Beast Tamer Marlo, riding his contract spirit, stepped forward and said, “I think we should all eliminate this person first, and then deal with the ruins!”
“I agree! Criminals are not allowed to participate in the ruins!”
“This kind of terrorist is probably from the Salvation Church, kill him first!”
Instantly, everyone nodded, their eyes filled with killing intent. If not for their quick reflexes, they would have been engulfed by the white sun just moments ago.
“Hmm?”
Chen Shu raised his eyebrows and said, “Didn’t you want to kill me earlier? This is me reasonably fighting back, understand?”
The crowd’s mouths twitched. Reasonably fighting back, my foot!
“Attack!”
Marlo roared and immediately summoned four contract spirits, preparing to strike first. But in an instant, his eyes contracted as a rocket instantly flew towards him. Boom! The contract spirit beneath his feet blocked it with its body, but the residual impact still tore Marlo’s clothes, making him look a bit disheveled.
“You…”
Marlo’s mouth twitched. What the hell kind of criminal was this, using both nuclear bombs and rockets?!
“If you dare to speak nonsense again, I’ll blow you up into mosaic!”
Chen Shu, carrying a rocket launcher on his shoulder, said angrily, “What do you mean, from the Salvation Church? Who do you think you’re looking down on?”
“…”
Everyone’s foreheads were covered in black lines. So, he was angry because of this?
“You little brat!”
Marlo’s expression turned angry, and he ordered his contract spirits to attack again! At the same time, the other two Golden Beast Tamers also did not hesitate. Although they seemed to be upholding justice, their primary objective was to obtain the key he held. Boom, boom, boom! Various skills were unleashed, preparing to kill him. However, all the skills hit the red light pillar and were easily blocked.
“With your sorry state, you three still want to kill your fierce bandit brother?”
Chen Shu stood within the light pillar, his face calm and mocking. “Three little Golds, are you worthy?”
“After so many years, I’ve only heard of foot binding, and this is the first time I’ve seen brain binding…”
The three of them heard this and their expressions turned furious, their eyes filled with killing intent. As Golden Beast Tamers, they were respected wherever they went. After all, there were only so many King-tier individuals in the world, and the core strength of humanity still lay with the Golden Beast Tamers. But now, the three of them were being insulted by a Silver-tier brat, which made them a bit agitated.
“Enough! You damned…”
Marlo extended his right hand, wanting to say something. But in the next instant, a whistling sound was heard. Swish! A giant wind blade attacked, seemingly arriving instantly, extremely fast. Marlo’s heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively tilted his head. The wind blade grazed past, cutting off a strand of his hair, and the fierce wind scraped his right cheek painfully.
“What a pity…”
Chen Shu shook his head. The senses of Golden Beast Tamers were too powerful; surprise attacks wouldn’t be very effective.
“Brat!”
Marlo’s eyes contracted, showing a trace of lingering fear. Just a little more, and his head would have been directly severed. The person before them was too dangerous! Everyone had this thought, and they had even given up on attacking him. Although this was a western异空间, it felt like it had become the Easterner’s home turf.
Chen Shu’s expression was composed; he had understood the function of the red light pillar. It not only blocked all attacks but also seemed to prevent Golden Beast Tamers from entering. Otherwise, given the anger of the three, they would have already charged in.
“Everyone, those of us who have keys, how about we team up to kill him first?”
Klaus had calmed down and realized the danger posed by the opponent, but his killing intent had not diminished at all. They would eventually meet in the ruins, so it was better to join forces and kill him now to prevent future trouble.
“Okay! Klaus is right!”
Another person also stepped forward, his eyes filled with killing intent. Just moments ago, one of his teammates had been killed by a nuclear bomb due to a delayed reaction, so he naturally wanted revenge. Instantly, the five people holding keys formed an alliance, all looking at Chen Shu with killing intent.
“Are you sure?”
Chen Shu raised his eyebrows, a strange smile playing on his lips. He was not afraid of Silver-tier opponents at all. The others did not reply but organized their respective teammates. Some were holding keys individually, so they naturally had four slots to sell, otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste? In an instant, twenty-five Silver-tier individuals, riding their contract spirits, charged aggressively into the light pillar. Just as Chen Shu was about to make a move, options appeared before him:
[Option 1: Act immediately to deter everyone! Completion Reward: Large amount of Beast Taming Power]
[Option 2: Don’t rush to act, lure the enemy deeper to prevent them from escaping! Completion Reward: Death Fire Pillar +1]
[Option 3: Attempt to reconcile with the opponent! Completion Reward: Sky Fire Meteorite +1]
Chen Shu was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly. He looked at everyone and said, “What if I said that everything just now was a misunderstanding…”
