“Can you stop pretending to be a cool guy?”
Dali shot him a glance and said, “You want to make a move? Lead everyone on another run, huh?”
“…”
Chen Shu shrugged and said, “Just tell me, did you make a move or not?”
Dali huffed and ignored Chen Shu.
The two walked across the land, using teleportation to penetrate deep into the Free Alliance’s continent.
All along the way, they saw nothing but devastation. Apart from a few wandering ferocious beasts, they encountered no humans, a testament to the brutality and intensity of the war.
An hour later,
The two arrived at a prosperous city, the same Yorley State that Chen Shu had visited before.
It was here that Chen Shu had slain the patriarch of the Dark Angel family, deterring other forces and facilitating China’s escort mission.
“Yorley State… it’s gone…”
He gazed at the prosperous city before him. The once solid defense lines had vanished, replaced by nothing but scattered bones and ruined walls.
A putrid smell of decaying flesh permeated the entire city.
“Let’s go take a look. Maybe we can pick up some treasures…”
Chen Shu wasn’t surprised; he had anticipated this scene.
With a flash of teleportation, the two arrived within the city.
“Not a single resource?”
Chen Shu surveyed the surrounding ruins, searching for treasures, but found nothing of value.
He wasn’t in a hurry to leave. He decided to search the entire city, hoping to find an official Alliance warehouse.
Time passed slowly.
He searched the Dark Angel family’s territory, the Alliance official buildings, and various commercial districts…
But without exception, all that remained were ruins and corpses.
“So clean?”
Chen Shu frowned. He’d clearly been overthinking by trying to find treasures in the trash.
Shortly after,
The two arrived at the outskirts, preparing to leave Yorley State and search elsewhere.
But just then, the Spatial Rabbit let out a ‘whimper’ and pointed towards the distant horizon.
“Hmm?”
Chen Shu’s expression changed. Could something be happening?
He, along with his contracted spirit, stealthily approached the distance and soon spotted humans in their line of sight.
A colossal green snake stood tall on the ground. A middle-aged man stood atop it, constantly directing the humans below.
Around him were hundreds of beast tamers, each having summoned their contracted spirits. They were transporting crates of supplies from an underground cave.
Everyone was dressed in black, their eyes filled with excitement.
“Be careful, everyone. These are important resources for the Church!”
The middle-aged man maintained a calm demeanor, constantly vigilant of his surroundings, unaware that he was already being targeted…
At this moment,
Chen Shu’s expression stiffened. He didn’t look at the supplies; his gaze was fixed intently on the middle-aged man.
The green snake beneath the man exuded King-level aura, deterring any ferocious beasts that might attack.
But the most important thing was, Chen Shu recognized him!
“Buck of the Knar family…”
Chen Shu licked his lips, a murderous glint appearing in the depths of his eyes, but it was quickly suppressed.
The man was a mortal enemy of Liu Feng, but Chen Shu had never had the chance to eliminate him.
He hadn’t expected to encounter him on the ravaged Alliance continent.
“Are these people transporting official Alliance supplies?”
Chen Shu was a little confused by the situation, but he made a decision without hesitation:
Let’s just rob them!
“King level two… a little progress…”
His eyes held a hint of contemplation as he took out a bottle of miraculous potion.
If he were to face a King-level opponent alone, it would be somewhat unrealistic. But with the aid of a large quantity of potions, everything became simpler.
At this moment, Buck, looking at a crate of King-level materials that had just been moved out, felt a flicker of excitement.
“A great nation is indeed wealthy…”
Buck licked his lips and muttered, “As long as we absorb the Alliance’s resources, the Church can establish itself and rise on Blue Star…”
As he was lost in his fantasies, a scorching aura was faintly felt from above.
He stiffened slightly, looked up, and his heart immediately trembled in fright.
*Voom, voom, voom—*
Five massive fire meteorites plummeted downwards, tearing through space with astonishing power!
“Enemy attack?!”
His pupils contracted, and he instantly shrank beneath the scales of the green snake, simultaneously summoning his other contracted spirits.
A white defensive shield appeared, forcefully blocking the meteorites from above and protecting the supplies below.
“Who is it?!”
Buck roared, his heart filled with caution. He hadn’t expected there to be such a powerful individual on the Alliance continent.
At this moment, a large yellow sphere flew towards them, with a smiling youth standing on it!
“Chen Shu?”
Buck’s pupils constricted. He immediately recognized his most sought-after enemy!
“The old man’s memory is quite good…”
Chen Shu shrugged and said, “It’s rare for your pig brain to remember names!”
“…”
Buck’s mouth twitched. Was this guy starting with insults right away?
“What? You little brat, you want to come find death yourself?”
His tone was mocking, but his eyes were constantly scanning the surroundings, realizing there might be an ambush.
After all, Chen Shu wouldn’t dare to charge in without certainty.
“No need to look. Today, it’s just your bandit brother alone!”
Chen Shu smiled slightly and said, “How dare you steal my resources? You are truly seeking death!”
“Yours?”
Buck’s expression changed. Wasn’t this the official Alliance storage of resources?
“I saw it, so it’s mine!”
Chen Shu chuckled and said, “You old geezer, hand over the items, then commit suicide. I might consider sparing your ancestral grave!”
“You court death!”
Buck no longer hesitated and immediately unleashed his full offensive.
However, he remained cautious. If anything went wrong, he would flee immediately.
After all, he had witnessed Chen Shu’s knack for trickery.
“Today, you old geezer is the one with no way out!”
