"What's with all of you? Staring blankly at each other."
Seeing their strange expressions, Chen Shu couldn't help but ask.
"How did you do it?!"
Ning Bufan's brow furrowed, utterly baffled. Logically, the other party should have been too preoccupied.
"Making a fuss over nothing."
Chen Shu pursed his lips and said, "It's not the first time we Southern Jiang Fierce Bandits have done something like this."
"Don't tell me you actually have some big shot behind you?"
Ning Bufan had a vague guess forming in his mind, simulating the scene:
A legendary mysterious figure was holding off two Beast Emperors, while Chen Shu took the opportunity to infiltrate the royal treasury and obtain the resources...
"What big shot?"
Chen Shu blinked slightly and said, "Do I need help to do something like this?!"
"..."
Ning Bufan and Elder Li continued to gaze at him with uncomprehending eyes, hoping for a correct answer.
"Alright, I'll tell you the truth then."
Chen Shu shrugged and said, "Bunny got the resources, and I single-handedly lured away the two Beast Emperors."
"You, by yourself?!"
Ning Bufan's eyes widened. You truly don't take Beast Emperors seriously...
Chen Shu said nonchalantly, "I have teleportation potions, what am I afraid of..."
In truth, the time he spent delaying them was extremely perilous. Even with his utmost caution, Xiao Huang was still heavily injured, and he himself had encountered multiple life-or-death crises.
"You truly are a fierce bandit!"
Just then, Elder Li, who had been silent, suddenly exclaimed.
He had lived for so many years and witnessed peerless prodigies from several eras, yet he had never encountered someone so preposterous...
"How was the haul..."
At this moment, Ning Bufan raised an eyebrow, a hint of excitement in his eyes.
"What for?"
Chen Shu immediately became wary, suspecting they might try to freeload off his hard work.
"Let me be clear, these are resources I painstakingly earned!"
"Earned?"
The corners of their eyes twitched. You truly have no shame...
"Would we, Elder Li and I, covet yours?"
Ning Bufan shook his head and said, "There's nothing in the current treasures that can improve us anymore."
"That's true..."
Chen Shu blinked slightly and nodded.
Just as he was about to speak, the spatial rabbit beside him issued another warning.
"Didn't I shake them off? They can still chase me?!"
Chen Shu's eyes widened, and he shouted, "And their speed is too damn fast!"
Ning Bufan and the other also stiffened, not expecting the two Beast Emperors to pursue so relentlessly.
Just as the rabbit was about to unleash a skill, Elder Li stopped it.
"No need to rush!"
Elder Li's eyes narrowed, and the Iron Eater beside him unleashed its stealth skill.
"They might not be able to find us. They're likely just tracking the previous sensation. If we use our skills, we'll be detected."
The two were slightly taken aback, then nodded.
Moments later, a monstrous Beast Emperor's pressure swept in like a storm, engulfing the entire deep sea.
Roar!
Piercing and furious roars echoed, causing all the fierce beasts to tremble, unaware of why the two Beast Emperors were acting so crazily...
At this moment, Hong Yu and Long Gui's eyes were crimson, as if possessed.
Their senses spread to their maximum, but they still couldn't find the trace of that human.
The two Beast Emperors had lost their minds again.
Those were their accumulated wealth of a thousand years, and it had vanished completely in half a day. Such a blow would be unbearable for anyone.
The two Beast Emperors looked towards the spatial mist ahead, guessing if the target had gone to another dimension.
But after a long while, they still turned and left, not crossing the mist.
If the target had indeed gone to another dimension, they would likely not be able to find them. It was better to thoroughly search their own territory.
At this moment, Chen Shu and his party relaxed, sensing that the Beast Emperors' pressure was gradually fading.
"It seems they've truly lost my trail."
Chen Shu smiled slightly, no longer worried, and began to count the resources and treasures the rabbit had pilfered.
"King grade Ice Star Grass, one bunch!"
"God Meteorite, one stack!"
"Heavenly Wood Root, one pile!"
"Wait... wait..."
Ning Bufan's eyes twitched. "What kind of units are you using?! Are these for counting?!"
In all his years, he had never seen anyone describe King grade medicinal herbs like this.
"Fierce bandits count like this."
Chen Shu shrugged. "Besides, I'm not wrong, am I?"
At this moment, the rabbit's expression shifted, and indeed, it spat out a large pile of King grade materials...
"..."
Looking at the mountain of King grade medicinal herbs before them, a greedy glint instinctively appeared in Ning Bufan's eyes.
He wasn't usually greedy, but the current resources were truly too outrageous...
A single King grade medicinal herb was hard to come by, worth billions or even more, yet the King grade resources before them were piled up like mountains!
"This is..."
Ning Bufan swallowed hard, finding himself struggling to describe the scene.
Chen Shu pursed his lips. "Principal, you're a peak King grade expert, you shouldn't look so astonished..."
"You know nothing!"
Ning Bufan glared at him. "These are all King grade materials! Even the old man would be tempted."
"Really?"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow, then added, "Actually... this is only a portion..."
"..."
Ning Bufan's heart pounded. He looked Chen Shu up and down, feeling genuinely tempted.
Chen Shu's expression flickered. As a fierce bandit, he immediately saw through Ning Bufan's thoughts.
"Principal, you're getting old. Don't embark on a path of crime!"
He quickly said, simultaneously glancing around and noticing Elder Li's slightly unnatural expression.
To prevent any accidents, he hurriedly had the rabbit put away the resources on the ground.
Chen Shu quickly reminded them:
"You are both highly respected figures. Don't be impulsive! I am originally a ruin and can collapse at any time, but you cannot!"
"..."
The two exchanged glances and regained their composure, putting on airs of detached sages.
"Do you really think we care about your little bit?"
Ning Bufan pouted. "It's just some King grade medicinal herbs."
"Truly the demeanor of a strong practitioner!"
Chen Shu gave him a thumbs-up and slowly began to count the rabbit's harvest.
Fortunately, its spatial attribute was monstrous, giving it a considerable storage space, otherwise, it would have been difficult to carry these resources.
Besides King grade resources, the most numerous were gold grade resources, while silver grade were much fewer, as the rabbit only picked the best.
In addition, there were dozens of legendary level treasures, which were priceless.
"Let's talk as we walk."
Elder Li said, realizing the urgency of time.
"Alright."
Ning Bufan nodded. "There must be higher-level races in the deep sea ancient royal palace. Shall we continue?"
"Forget it, the two Beast Emperors inside are already crazy now, they're not easy to deal with."
Elder Li shook his head, a hint of apprehension in his eyes.
If he accidentally encountered a Beast Emperor, he even suspected that they might detonate themselves on the spot, taking him with them...
