"You're quite the professional."
Elder Li stroked his chin, a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Chen Shu clapped his hands and said casually, "It's just practice makes perfect."
"Let's go."
The trio finished tidying up the battlefield and, without stopping, headed for the next Beast Emperor's territory.
...
As a night passed,
"There are quite a few high-tier species in this Demon's Den,"
Chen Shu murmured, stroking his chin.
The ground ahead was once again covered with the corpses of over a thousand King-tier ferocious beasts.
They had annihilated three teams of high-tier species!
"After all, it's the second most dangerous alternate dimension in the world."
Ning Bufan showed no surprise, saying, "Even though the three Beast Emperors are dead, their foundation is still here."
"Mmm..."
Chen Shu nodded, recalling the hundreds of thousands of Golden Ferocious Beasts from before. They were indeed a formidable force.
At this moment, Ning Bufan spoke, "Next territory!"
"Uh... we're done..."
Chen Shu shrugged and said, "We've already visited all three Beast Emperor territories."
"What about that Lizard-Dragon's territory?"
"Uh... I don't know its territory either."
Chen Shu shrugged, "This thing has been in seclusion for a long time, only recently emerging. Not only I, but even Old Qiao doesn't know it well."
"Then let's leave."
Elder Li said calmly, "The fall of the ferocious beasts will likely be noticed by the Beast Emperors soon."
"Leaving already?"
Chen Shu felt a bit disappointed, "Aren't we going to kill the remaining King-tier ferocious beasts?"
Although they had explored the three Beast Emperor territories, there were bound to be other high-tier ferocious beast species elsewhere.
After all, King-tier lords also had their own territories and wouldn't all be obediently staying within the Beast Emperors' domains.
"The other lords are hard to find."
Elder Li shook his head, "Searching the entire alternate dimension would be too time-consuming."
"Alright then."
Chen Shu didn't say anything more, after all, he was just the self-proclaimed captain...
Just then,
The purple moon in the sky suddenly disappeared, descending and entering the edge of the alternate dimension, vanishing from sight.
"Why don't we stir up some trouble one last time?"
A flicker of interest appeared in Chen Shu's eyes, still eyeing the Purple Moon.
Elder Li said helplessly, "We can't beat it."
"Not to kill the Purple Moon Great Fiend,"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow, "but to visit its territory and politely take some things."
"..."
The two instantly understood Chen Shu's intention. Was he planning to loot again?
"Can you find its territory?"
"Of course!"
Chen Shu nodded, "I've been there before."
"..."
The two exchanged glances and began to ponder.
Chen Shu, standing beside them, continued to persuade, "What if its territory is also stationed with high-tier ferocious beast species?"
"Moreover, as a Great Fiend of the Forbidden Mist, its accumulated wealth is terrifying. I saw quite a few legendary materials back then."
For a moment, the two felt a stir of desire. It did seem to have some logic...
Ning Bufan thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go!"
"Don't rush, let's wait until tonight!"
Chen Shu waved his hand, stopping him, "It hasn't gone berserk yet."
"..."
The three, with nothing else to do, started wandering again, trying to find the territories of King-tier lords.
Soon, night fell again.
The three wore smiles. The day had not been without gains; they had killed at least over a hundred ordinary King-tier ferocious beasts.
At this moment, the purple moon hung high.
"It's about time."
Chen Shu licked his lips, and the thought of the Forbidden Mist Great Fiend's treasure filled him with excitement.
Last time, he had only managed to loot halfway before encountering the Purple Moon's return, which had been quite unsatisfying.
With a teleport, the three vanished from their spot and headed directly west of the Demon's Den.
According to Chen Shu's memory, its territory was in the far west, the very place where the Purple Moon rose and set.
The three headed straight for their destination, while the various ferocious beasts wandering around remained completely unaware.
An hour later,
Chen Shu and the other two arrived at the westernmost point.
"We're here! Be careful!"
Chen Shu's expression was cautious as he looked ahead, saying, "Elder Li, add a few more concealment skills."
The chubby Iron-Eater's eyes flickered with a faint light, and it once again concealed their aura.
Elder Li frowned slightly, "Are there still ferocious beasts inside?"
"No..."
Chen Shu shook his head, "But I'm worried about any detection skills left by the Purple Moon."
He had just happened to encounter the Purple Moon last time, and he suspected it might not have been a coincidence but that the other party had detected him beforehand.
"Mmm."
Elder Li nodded, saying nothing more.
The three no longer used teleportation but proceeded forward step by step.
The surroundings were incredibly quiet, with no beast roars, as if they had entered a deserted realm.
At the same time, the black mist floating in mid-air had also disappeared.
Only faint purple light flowed continuously, appearing extremely bizarre!
Most importantly, the purple light not only obscured their vision but even blocked the perception of their contracted spirits.
"This is..."
Ning Bufan raised an eyebrow, a hint of thought in his eyes.
"Forbidden Mist!"
Chen Shu explained, "The purple light around is the Forbidden Mist, but it's been disguised by the Purple Moon."
"No wonder..."
Ning Bufan nodded, but he didn't seem worried.
If Chen Shu could escape from the Forbidden Mist, he, with his spatial contracted spirit, could do the same.
As for Elder Li, his expression was calm, clearly a formidable figure who had been to the Forbidden Mist before.
"Let's go, there's no danger inside."
Chen Shu, familiar with the path, led the two deeper into the area.
Ning Bufan raised an eyebrow and said, "Why are you acting like you're back home?"
"The world is vast, everywhere is my home."
"..."
Soon, the three saw various medicinal resources scattered on the ground, including a large number of Beast Taming Pearls and core materials.
These were all ferocious beasts that had mistakenly entered the Forbidden Mist and were naturally devoured on the spot by the Purple Moon Great Fiend.
"Let's get to work!"
Chen Shu licked his lips and patted the rabbit's head.
Ning Bufan's expression also shifted, and he gave his silver fox on his shoulder the command to loot.
The silver fox flicked its tail, saying with a hint of disdain,
"You want me to be like this fiendish bandit rabbit?"
Ning Bufan said indifferently, "I'll give you half of my share afterward!"
"You should have said so earlier!"
The silver fox's expression brightened, and it immediately began a vigorous sweep.
"Don't rush, we have all night."
Chen Shu quickly said, "Make sure not to stray outside of Elder Li's skill range, otherwise, the Purple Moon might return early."
Upon hearing this, the two spatial contracted spirits became more cautious, not getting too carried away.
The three followed closely, with the Iron-Eater continuously bestowing concealment skills upon them.
To ensure no mishaps, the silver fox also maintained its skill, ensuring the group remained invisible.
One by one, the resources on the ground disappeared into thin air, but no figures could be seen, a truly bizarre sight...
