"Do as you please?"
Dali raised his eyebrows, his gaze fixed on the distance, and asked with doubt:
"Are you sure?"
"En?"
Chen Shu was slightly stunned and followed his gaze towards the sky.
A towering pillar of black light suddenly appeared in the distance, dispelling the mist above.
At the same time, a terrifying pressure surged like a tide, dominating more than half of the Free State.
All living beings within the state trembled, their eyes filled with horror.
The ferocious beasts of the demon lineage prostrated themselves on the ground, as if in worship, appearing extremely humble.
"Beast Emperor?!"
Chen Shu's expression also changed. He hadn't expected to be slapped in the face the moment he thought of doing as he pleased...
Just then, a strange shriek echoed through the city sky.
Immediately after, a pair of wings that blotted out the sun appeared, plunging the Free State into even deeper darkness.
"En? It's this guy?!"
As soon as Chen Shu saw the wings in the sky, he instantly recognized it.
It was his old acquaintance: the Demon Bat Emperor!
"Chen Pi, it's not here for revenge, is it..."
Dali's gaze was peculiar. The two had just arrived in the Free State and coincidentally witnessed this scene, making it hard not to connect the dots.
"No way..."
Chen Shu's eyes widened, then he dismissed Dali's thought: "It didn't leave any mark on me back then."
"Then are you going to go meet it?"
"Are you crazy?"
Chen Shu shook his head, pondering, "This thing came to Blue Star? Does it mean Old Qiao failed?"
According to the information from the man earlier, Old Qiao was also carrying out a mission, which was to hold back the legendary creatures of the "Demon's Lair."
But now, with the Bat Emperor appearing, it meant the Alliance's delaying plan had failed?
"Could it really have perished?"
He murmured to himself, then made a decision, saying:
"Let's go to the Demon's Lair!"
"You're insane!"
Dali frowned, saying, "It's not a good place in there right now!"
"Fortune favors the bold!"
Chen Shu licked his lips and said, "Whether Old Qiao is okay or not, it's probably a mess inside. This is when it's convenient for me to make money!"
"..."
Dali gave him a deep look. Thinking that the other party had just snatched resources from the Death Heavenly Knight, he no longer objected.
This guy was truly addicted to robbing legendary creatures...
The two of them, using teleportation, silently approached Dark City in the Free State, which was also the passage to the "Demon's Lair."
Along the way, they also saw the entire panorama of the Free State.
Fights were visible everywhere. Alliance Beast Tamers were still fighting tenaciously, tying down one powerful ferocious beast after another.
As for the ordinary ferocious beasts, they were searching for treasures within the Free State, but they didn't seem to have much success.
Most of the resources in the Free State had been taken away by the core figures of the Free Alliance. Coupled with the plunder by the Shark Emperor's forces, it had already been reduced to ruins.
"So poor!"
Chen Shu saw no valuable treasures along the way.
For a moment, his resolve to head to the "Demon's Lair" became even firmer!
An hour later,
He and Dali arrived near Dark City. Just as they were about to step in, they were stopped by the Spatial Rabbit.
"Huhu~"
The rabbit pointed at the sky-obscuring bat wings overhead, shaking its head and signaling them not to approach.
"Will we be detected?"
Chen Shu murmured. The rabbit had the Yinglong talent and keen senses, able to detect any crisis.
He stopped in his tracks, feeling a bit apprehensive. Clearly, facing a Beast Emperor wasn't as easy as it seemed.
Play is play, but don't joke with legends!
"I need to find a way to lure it away..."
Chen Shu pondered. If they went in so openly, it would still be a bit too arrogant...
"Dali, do you have any ideas?"
"Forget it!"
Dali shook his head and said, "When it comes to legendary matters, don't count on me, unless I can become a Legendary Spirit Chef."
His skills were superb, but the dishes he had developed could not have any impact on a legendary creature.
In fact, King-level and Legendary-level had already achieved a leap in life-level. Only legendary beings could deal with legendary beings!
"I'll think of a way myself..."
Chen Shu shook his head and began to consider countermeasures.
Then, on the third day, the situation suddenly turned around!
Strange shrieks suddenly erupted from within Dark City, followed by tens of thousands of dark shadows soaring into the sky.
Upon closer inspection, they were all ferocious-looking bat beasts, with at least Silver-level mutation strength!
Clearly, the Bat Emperor's elite subordinates had arrived!
Hiss!
The Bat Emperor, standing at the spatial passage, spread its wings and issued new commands!
The next second, tens of thousands of bats flew in all directions, beginning to invade the entire Free State with Dark City as the center!
There were double-digit numbers of King-level bat beasts alone. With this wave of combat power joining in, the Free State would likely not be able to hold out for long.
"The opportunity has come!"
Chen Shu licked his lips, a hint of excitement in his eyes.
"What opportunity?"
"An opportunity to lure away the Bat Emperor!"
His gaze fell upon a purple King-level Bat Lord, a killing intent flickering in his eyes!
The next second, the two of them teleported away, disappearing from the vicinity of Dark City.
Meanwhile, the Bat Emperor, located within the city, looked into the distance and muttered:
"Why is there a disgusting smell appearing?"
It couldn't figure it out, and a sense of unease began to creep into its heart.
However, it didn't connect it to Chen Shu, as the latter was merely a Golden-level Beast Tamer, and not part of the Alliance.
