As the Dragon Fish held a sliver of hope for survival, another barrage of skills slammed into its view!
Its expression was one of horror, but its skills were on cooldown. It could only watch helplessly.
Boom, boom, boom!
The roar of the skills echoed, finally subsiding after a long while.
At this moment, the Dragon Fish lay sprawled on the ground like a puddle of mud, the light in its eyes dimming.
Clearly, it was on its last breath.
"..."
The Dragon Fish's eyes held no hatred, only deep confusion and bewilderment.
Just as the other party had said, whether it kept its defenses up or not, the outcome would be the same. So why the unnecessary action?
"You must be a bit confused right now, thinking my words earlier had no meaning."
Chen Shu grinned and said, "Actually, the reason I did that was purely to... annoy you. Any problem with that?"
"..."
The Dragon Fish's eyes widened, and anger surged within it once more, even causing a 'brief resurgence of vitality.'
"Alright, no more struggling."
Chen Shu licked his lips and said, "Da Li, get the oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar ready. I'm going to personally send our old friend off!"
"..."
The Dragon Fish spat out a mouthful of blood, gazing at the human before it as if looking at a demon...
It had always thought only ferocious beasts were inhuman. It turned out some humans were too...
Half an hour later,
"As expected of our old friend, this meat quality is truly excellent!"
The two sat on Little Yellow's head, with a large grill in between them, holding pieces of tender fish meat...
"..."
Da Li twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "We can eat, but can you stop being so perverted?"
"Then tell me, is it tender or not?"
"Tender!"
"..."
A day later,
"Fifteen bottles of enhanced nukes, one hundred and fifty-eight bottles of small nukes, thirty-two bottles of death potions..."
Chen Shu sat on Little Yellow's head, counting his potion quantities. Meanwhile, the system continued to configure them ceaselessly.
He was now the world's largest arms dealer!
And unlike other arms dealers, his inventory contained no trinkets, only unpretentious nukes...
At this moment,
Da Li was focused on the black notebook in his hand, his expression serious, constantly verifying the thoughts in his mind.
After a while, he stretched his neck and casually asked,
"Chen Shu, where are we going to rob now?"
"What do you mean 'rob'?"
Chen Shu glanced at him and said faintly, "This is called a slightly wild way of acquiring resources!"
"I've already figured it out. The Seven Northern Kingdoms are the closest to Black Continent, so we'll head there first to rob... ah... acquire resources!"
"..."
Da Li's face was covered in dark lines, and he stopped paying attention to Chen Shu, returning to his notebook.
Another half a day passed,
The two then leisurely approached the continent of Black Continent.
"Holy crap! So arrogant?!"
Just then, Chen Shu suddenly sat up, looking into the distance, a hint of shock in his eyes.
The sky over the Black Continent had turned a deep, dark hue, and the aura of death hit them, chilling their hearts. From all four directions of the continent, black currents were continuously descending, adding to the eeriness!
But the most astonishing thing was,
Above the continent, two colossal phantom figures stood, seemingly supporting the heavens and earth.
One phantom figure was a humanoid creature clad in black armor, with blood-red eyes, holding a black spear in its right hand and a white bone shield in its left.
The other phantom figure was beneath it,
A fearsome black horse, also with blood-red eyes, occasionally letting out low roars!
The death aura emanating from the two phantom figures was enough to suffocate any living being, making them afraid to even approach the Black Continent.
These were the two Beast Emperors from the [Altar of Death]!
They were also the only Beast Emperors in the Altar. Although they didn't have as many top-tier experts as [Dragon Abyss] and [Demon Nest], any legendary creature of the same level was extremely wary of them.
The Knight and the black horse had grown together, eventually breaking through to become legendary creatures. Their tacit understanding was incredibly profound, to the point where they could be considered one entity, their combat power unimaginable.
At this moment, the two Beast Emperors from the [Altar of Death] were stationed over the continent, commanding the death legions to invade in all directions!
For Beast Emperors, the purpose of competing for Blue Star's territory was twofold:
The first was to collect the resources accumulated by humans over the years to arm their forces.
The second objective was to subdue the异空间 (dimensional spaces) scattered across various regions.
These 异空间 not only provided a steady stream of troops for their forces but also contained extremely rich resources.
It could be said that every 异空间 was a strategic point that the Beast Emperors wished to control, especially the higher-level ones.
The reason the two Beast Emperors had appeared in the first place was to subdue the other 异空间 within the Black Continent.
After all, before the chaotic times appeared, the two great Beast Emperors could not leave the [Altar of Death] and had never had the opportunity to do so. Unlike the Soul Dragon Emperor of Dragon Abyss, they could not communicate with other 异空间 across the spatial mist.
As time passed, the [Altar of Death] had gained control of the entire Black Continent, even beginning to invade territories originally belonging to the Shark Emperor, such as the Seven Northern Kingdoms...
"Has the Black Continent fallen so quickly..."
Chen Shu looked ahead and said, "The news didn't report it."
He had initially expected the Free Alliance to be the first major power to collapse, but Black Continent had gotten there first...
"Is there a possibility that the Black Continent was inherently chaotic..."
Da Li turned to look at him and said, "It's just a collection of scattered tribes, there's never been any official power."
"..."
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. He suddenly remembered something and thought to himself:
I was already ruins, so there's no collapse to speak of...
Now, with the withdrawal of the continent's strongest tribes, the creatures of the [Altar of Death] had broken free and arrived on Blue Star.
"Be careful..."
Chen Shu withdrew his other contracted spirits, bringing only the spatial rabbit onto the continent before them.
"Won't we be discovered?"
Da Li looked at the faint black mist pervading the surroundings, finding it difficult to even breathe smoothly. He felt uncomfortable, as the aura of death suppressed ordinary beings.
Chen Shu said confidently, "Don't worry, even legendary creatures can't monitor the entire continent..."
Even if they could achieve such a feat, it would fall under the category of a major skill and couldn't be maintained indefinitely.
"Damn, it's really huge..."
Da Li looked at the giant knight on the black horse in the distance, feeling a touch of fear.
"What's wrong? Do you have macrophobia?"
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback, seeing Da Li like this for the first time.
Da Li nodded, "A little."
It wasn't that he was simply scared; the phantom figure before them was simply too enormous!
They were currently at the edge of the continent, while the phantom figure above was in the center. Yet, it could still evoke fear, indicating its terrifying size.
Chen Shu patted his shoulder and said, "You have to learn to adapt. I had the same symptom before."
"You also had macrophobia?"
Da Li asked with doubt, "But I only see excitement on your face..."
"I'm not afraid of this. In my eyes, it's actually not big enough!"
"Then what would you be afraid of?"
Chen Shu stroked his chin and said seriously, "Big idiot."
