"What is remembered, lives on."
The persistence of the two Beast Emperors was not without its rewards, at least in posing a considerable threat to Chen Shu.
At the same time, they sensed that the opponent's rabbit had disappeared.
However, the two Beast Emperors didn't expect their opponent to raid their home. Instead, they believed that due to the prolonged battle, the spatial rabbit had become mentally fatigued and could no longer sustain itself.
After all, being merely a Golden Contract Spirit, its stamina naturally couldn't compare to that of a Beast Emperor.
This also filled them with excitement, believing they had a chance to pulverize their enemy before them.
"Damn it, I can't drag this out any longer."
Chen Shu's expression was grave as he muttered to himself.
In the span of more than half a day, he had already faced multiple life-or-death crises.
The little sprite was indeed unreliable. Despite its reputation as an interdimensional bully, its early warning capabilities were far inferior to the spatial rabbit's [Battle Instinct (Dragon)].
Fortunately, the little yellow creature had been blocking the Beast Emperors' attacks for Chen Shu.
However, the little yellow creature was now in a critical, heavily injured state, and the little sprite's [Death Revival] had already been used.
As for other healing skills, they had little effect on the little yellow creature's injuries. All they could do was wait for [Death Revival] to cool down.
Under duress, Chen Shu recalled the little yellow creature to his beast-taming space.
"The rabbit hasn't finished its scavenging, but I'll have to give up for now."
He shook his head, his mind crystal clear, and the greed in his eyes had vanished.
He was now without any means of self-preservation. The next attack from a Beast Emperor would likely be insurmountable.
"Giving up? That doesn't sound like you?"
Surprise flickered in the little sprite's eyes. It hadn't expected Chen Shu to be so level-headed.
In its impression, this fellow was someone who would risk his life for a buck.
The reason for this misjudgment was actually that Chen Shu's life had rarely been threatened; after all, even Beast Emperors couldn't catch him.
"What do you know?"
Chen Shu glanced at it and said, "If I'm dead, what use is all the resources to me!"
Without hesitation, he took out another bottle of teleportation potion and downed half of it.
In the span of over half a day, he had consumed six bottles of teleportation potion, a truly extravagant expense.
After all, the main ingredient for teleportation potions was a King-level material of the space element, something that was rare and hard to come by. Even the official channels hadn't produced many bottles.
"It pains me so much..."
Chen Shu sighed, looking utterly heartbroken.
In his opinion, six bottles of teleportation potion were far more precious than a hundred bottles of enhanced nuclear bombs.
Just then, the potion's spatial energy enveloped his entire body. The location of the ancient royal palace ruins flashed through his mind, and he instantly vanished from his spot, along with his contract spirits.
The next second, he was already above the ruins.
"Hoo hoo—"
The spatial rabbit, having received instructions earlier, instantly returned to Chen Shu's side, a broad smile on its face.
"With you here, big brother can rest easy."
Chen Shu patted the rabbit, feeling a surge of relief in his heart.
To survive against Beast Emperors, one needed the combination of [Spatial Secret Power] and [Battle Instinct]. Pure teleportation alone wouldn't be enough to outrun them.
"Old Ning and the others haven't finished yet?!"
Chen Shu didn't have time to ask about the rabbit's haul. He looked around, scratching his head.
"Could they have been killed?!"
His brow furrowed, but then he remembered Elder Li's pseudo-legendary strength, making it impossible for him to be in trouble.
Unless the ancient royal palace still harbored another Beast Emperor!
However, the probability of that was slim. After all, the Beast Emperors' lair had been blown up; if there were any hidden emperors, they would have made their move by now.
"They're probably just delayed by something."
He mused, casting his gaze towards the ancient royal palace's treasure vault ahead.
"Whatever, I'll steal a bit longer!"
Chen Shu licked his lips, estimating that the two Beast Emperors would still need some time to return.
For a moment, accompanied by the rabbit, he re-entered the ancient royal palace's treasure vault.
The entrance to the treasure vault had already been thoroughly plundered by the rabbit, leaving not even a single hair behind.
One had to admit, under Chen Shu's tutelage, the rabbit's methods had become quite professional.
Chen Shu pressed deeper into the vault. Various medicinal herbs, ores, and other items along the way were all swept clean.
The treasure vault, once filled with spiritual energy from heaven and earth, was now a scene of desolation and ruin.
Finally, Chen Shu spotted more treasures. A vast quantity of golden medicinal herbs was piled up into a small mountain, nearly ten meters high, emitting the characteristic aroma of herbs.
However, a small portion of the herb mountain was already empty, clearly having been collected by the spatial rabbit.
"Keep collecting!"
Chen Shu directed the rabbit, ordering it to open its storage space.
Meanwhile, he alone, riding the little yellow creature, headed straight for the depths of the treasure vault.
The ground was covered with scattered piles of gold and silver resources. As for the King-level resources, they had all been cleared out, indicating that the rabbit also knew to prioritize the best items.
"Little yellow, go wild and devour it all!"
Chen Shu looked at the surrounding resources and ordered the slime to consume everything.
For resources like medicinal herbs and ores, direct consumption had limited effects. They needed to be processed into various finished products for maximum utilization.
But with time being short, he had no time to take them away. It was better to let the little yellow creature have a meal.
Even though the little yellow creature was heavily injured, it still had the strength for this.
After all, eating and sleeping were instincts ingrained in its very being.
"Gooey! Gooey!"
The little yellow creature instantly transformed into a colossal form nearly a thousand meters in size. It opened its massive maw and began to devour voraciously.
No matter what the resource was, it gobbled it down with a couple of bites, crude and simple.
This was far faster than the rabbit's collecting speed.
The rabbit's storage space required complete mental focus to accommodate items, and its efficiency wasn't too high. It was akin to chewing slowly and savoring, naturally unable to compete with the little yellow creature's true gluttonous feasting.
Time passed gradually.
The little yellow creature continued to devour various resources with gusto. At the same time, due to its injuries, it would occasionally spit out large mouthfuls of blood.
Eating and spitting, the scene was quite peculiar.
"Gooey!"
Despite spitting blood, the little yellow creature's eyes narrowed contentedly, appearing utterly delighted. It completely ignored its injuries.
This was the true spirit of a food lover!
Just then, the rabbit sent out a warning, instinctively sensing danger!
"That fast..."
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Forget it, I don't want the rest."
He glanced at the scattered resources on the ground. In the depths of the treasure vault, there were still many treasures.
After all, this was the accumulation of the three Beast Emperors over a thousand years; even for him to move it all would take a considerable amount of time.
"I've given you a welcome gift, so here's a parting gift!"
He licked his lips, and several bottles of enhanced explosive potions appeared in his hand.
"Since I can't have it, I'll just destroy it for you!"
If the two Beast Emperors were present, they would undoubtedly be so enraged that they would spit blood on the spot.
This was their property to begin with. For you to say such a thing, wasn't that utterly shameless?!
