The other beast tamers ignored Chen Shu, who was taking pictures, and waited quietly.
Not long after, the remaining people entered the ruins.
Twenty people stood on the sea of stars, forming their own factions.
Chen Shu naturally stood with the three from Snow Country. The four of them, united, were not afraid of other small groups.
In an instant, the sea of stars below surged, as if some terrifying creature was churning.
Buzz buzz buzz—
A strange sound appeared, echoing in everyone's ears.
Then, streams of starlight came from the sea of stars, enveloping each beast tamer. Within them, it seemed, was the power of space.
"Hmm?"
Chen Shu's expression changed slightly. His three contracted spirits were forcibly sent back into the beast taming space.
The others cried out in surprise, clearly feeling the same.
The next second, the starlight surged, transferring all twenty people to another territory.
Chen Shu's vision was filled only with dazzling starlight; nothing else.
After a while, the starlight gradually dimmed and suddenly dissipated completely.
Almost at the same time, a piece of information appeared in his mind.
[System option completed, reward received: Magical Potion Grand Gift Package]
"Hmm?"
Chen Shu's expression lit up, but then he looked around.
He had actually arrived on a vast ice river. The end of the long river was shrouded in starlight, its reality and form indiscernible.
And Andre and the others beside him had disappeared, leaving only one person.
Martin from the Knar family!
"It's you?!"
Martin's expression changed slightly, and a trace of fear instinctively arose.
If he had united with others, he might have been able to deal with Chen Shu. But now, it was one-on-one, and he naturally felt a little apprehensive.
"It seems your luck is bad."
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow. Just as he was about to summon his contracted spirits, his expression changed.
His connection with his contracted spirits seemed to have been severed, which was a fatal blow to a beast tamer.
"Oh?"
Martin also sensed the abnormality. Although he couldn't summon his contracted spirits, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems your luck is bad..."
Martin smiled slightly, then took off his shirt, revealing his sturdy physique.
Although he was nearly forty, as a Golden Beast Tamer, his physical fitness was still monstrous, especially since he enjoyed working out daily.
"You don't seem to be my match..."
Martin twisted his neck and then cracked his fingers with a pop.
He slowly walked forward, a gleam in his eyes, like a hungry wolf about to prey on a rabbit.
With his Golden-level physique, he could easily defeat ten Silver-level individuals, meaning he had Chen Shu completely cornered.
"..."
Chen Shu's expression was calm, with a hint of playfulness in his eyes.
"You're still acting calm at this point!"
Martin's lips curled into a fierce sneer. He said,
"Kid, have you ever seen a fist the size of a sandbag?"
"No."
Chen Shu shook his head, still incredibly calm, not even taking him seriously.
"Then I'll let you experience it. It'll be quite exhilarating!"
Martin chuckled and leaned in with his upper body bare.
At this moment, Chen Shu also tore off his clothes with a rip.
"You dare to copy me..."
Martin was about to mock him, but his expression changed drastically in an instant, and he swallowed his words forcefully.
He saw that Chen Shu was wearing a straitjacket underneath, which instantly instilled a primal sense of fear.
"I told you, it's your luck that's bad!"
Chen Shu smiled slightly and simultaneously opened his combat backpack, taking out his small weapons.
His combat form was activated!
"..."
Martin's breathing hitched, and his mind even went blank for a moment.
"What the hell is this joke?!"
Chen Shu had already taken off his pants, revealing a blue and white striped hospital gown set.
In his right hand, he held an ancient butcher knife, stained with dark blood, exuding a fierce aura.
In his left hand was a yellow urea bag, from which a sinful aura continuously emanated.
Such a bizarre combination, paired with Chen Shu's kindly smile...
At that moment, Martin even wanted to withdraw from the ruins...
"Um... excuse me."
He silently picked up his shirt from the ground and put it back on.
"If I say I was just trying to lighten the mood, you won't mind, will you..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Shu charged forward, accompanied by a demonic 'hehe' laugh.
"Holy crap!"
Martin's expression was greatly shocked. He instantly fled into the distance, unable to help but cry out to the heavens.
What wrong had he done to be locked up with a lunatic...
"Little thing, you still dare to run?!"
Chen Shu frowned, instantly dropped his combat backpack, and his speed increased.
His physical fitness had been enhanced multiple times, and he ate high-grade flesh and blood every day. His physical fitness was only slightly inferior to that of a Golden Beast Tamer.
Even without his exclusive weapons, he could fight toe-to-toe with a Golden Beast Tamer.
Martin quickly said, "Your teacher said we should get along peacefully!"
"I'm about to 'peacefully' deal with you now!"
Chen Shu gripped the butcher knife, gradually cornering Martin.
"Damn it!"
Martin was on the verge of tears, his eyes overflowing with terror.
As a Golden Beast Tamer, he had never been so dishevelled in his life.
*Swoosh!*
Just then, his foot slipped, and he lost control of his body, falling to the ground.
Due to inertia, he slid hundreds of meters along the ice river, eventually crashing into a massive ice pillar, creating an indentation several meters deep.
"Little thing, it seems you can't run anymore!"
Chen Shu stood in front of the ice pillar, looking down at Martin, and then casually twirled the knife.
"Big brother..."
Martin swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said,
"Can we talk? I can actually betray the Knar family right now..."
"Sure!"
Chen Shu nodded and said, "But before that, let me ask you a question!"
"Did you eat today?"
"Uh... no..."
"Then eat my blade first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Shu threw the butcher knife.
Whoosh whoosh~~
The butcher knife drew a beautiful arc in the air, slashing towards Martin, who was trapped in the ice pillar.
"I'm not going to be done for, am I..."
Martin's face turned green. He could only watch helplessly as the butcher knife approached, like a lamb awaiting slaughter.
