"???"
A Liang's mouth twitched. What kind of thinking was that?
"My elders asked me to inform you that you might be in some danger."
"Oh?"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow and said, "A fierce beast is coming to find me?"
"Huh? You already knew?"
A Liang's expression froze. He hadn't expected the other party to know already.
Chen Shu didn't pay it any mind and said, "It's just a small fierce beast. At worst, I won't leave the campus."
He would only leave the capital when heading to the star-sky ruins, but by then, there would likely be strong protectors, so he didn't need to worry.
"You should still be careful."
A Liang said solemnly, "The old man said that the methods of Beast Emperors are not simple."
"Mm? I understand."
Chen Shu nodded, his heart immediately becoming vigilant.
Even the strongest had warned him to be careful, which clearly indicated that the situation was not quite right.
"A Liang, you call him 'Old Man' too?"
Wang Jue came over and said, "Isn't he your grandfather?"
"No..."
A Liang turned to look and said, "He has guarded Huaguo for nearly a thousand years. I am only twenty-two, how could he be my grandfather..."
"Is that so..."
Wang Jue and the others nodded, their curiosity about the old man growing even more.
Could Legendary rank beings live that long?
"Alright, time for rest."
A Liang yawned and didn't say more about the old man.
In fact, even he didn't understand much, and they barely met.
This was because the old man was stationed at Longyuan all year round, and A Liang's beast taming level was too low to even qualify to enter Longyuan.
Chen Shu also lay down on his bed, his eyes filled with thought.
"It's really become trouble?"
He frowned. He hadn't expected that even after the fierce beast incident was over, there would still be fierce beasts wanting to kill him...
"If only I could pinpoint its location first..."
Chen Shu closed his eyes and muttered to himself.
But at that moment, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he thought of a small item.
Instantly, a blue orb of light appeared in Chen Shu's hand, leaping back and forth like a sprite.
It was the system reward he had received for exposing the Lin Han Salvation Church's identity: the [King Tracker]!
"Can it find it?"
Doubt flickered in Chen Shu's eyes as he muttered, "Also, a Beast Emperor is also King rank, equivalent to the King of Kings."
"I wonder if any Kings have been captured in the city..."
He hesitated, as this was his first time dealing with such a thing, and he didn't know how effective it was.
Although Kings had astonishing combat power, it was not impossible for humans to capture them and bring them to laboratories, especially Black Iron rank Kings.
"Can't they at least give a description or something..."
He frowned and tightened his grip on the starlight in his hand.
But at that moment, a piece of information directly appeared in his mind:
[King Tracker: Can autonomously add filtering conditions to track a specified King! If no conditions are set, it will automatically track the closest King! Note: Cannot track across dimensions!]
"Huh?"
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected the manual to arrive so quickly.
He muttered, "It can have conditions? How do I add them?"
Chh—
At that moment, the starlight in his hand flashed as if responding to him...
"This thing can understand human speech?!"
Chen Shu's expression was shocked. Was this the high-tech produced by the system?
His eyes darted around, and he said, "Search for a fierce beast with the aura of a Beast Emperor, and one that is hostile towards me."
The starlight in his hand emitted a glow, as if receiving the information.
"Begin!"
Chen Shu spread out his palm. The two conditions were enough to find what he was looking for.
The blue orb trembled slightly and disappeared in the next second, as if it had never appeared.
"Is that it?"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow and muttered, "It's not a fake, is it..."
He rubbed his chin, but there was no response for a long time. He lay down and fell asleep...
...
The next morning,
Chen Shu was groggily sleeping when a message suddenly appeared before his eyes:
[Target Locked]
[Transmitting image...]
"Huh?"
Chen Shu was a bit dazed, but a face suddenly appeared before him!
His expression jolted, and he instantly became completely clear-headed.
But to his surprise, the person before him wasn't a fierce beast at all, but a human face!
"What's going on?"
Chen Shu frowned. In the image before him,
A man around thirty years old was sitting in an office, seemingly writing some documents.
He had a thoughtful expression and muttered,
"Either the system is malfunctioning, or this person has a problem! I want to see what's going on!"
Chen Shu lay on the bed, staring intently at the man in the image.
The man, however, was completely unaware and continued his work.
Half an hour passed, and someone walked into the office.
"Hmm?!"
Chen Shu's body trembled, shock flashing in his eyes.
He didn't recognize the man who had just entered, but the man was wearing a golden Imperial Dragon Guard armband.
"This isn't..."
He had a guess in his heart but didn't dare to be sure.
The two of them left the office together and went to the first-floor lobby.
When he saw the appearance of the lobby, Chen Shu immediately confirmed it. The location was the Imperial Dragon Guard Headquarters in the capital!
He had been to the first floor of the Imperial Dragon Guard Headquarters when registering for the national beast taming competition.
"The fierce beast is an Imperial Dragon Guard?!"
He frowned, sensing that things were not simple, and continued to observe.
The two went together to a conference room where seven or eight people were already waiting, all wearing golden Imperial Dragon Guard armbands.
After an hour and a half meeting, the man returned to his office, but his face clearly showed a bit more excitement.
Unfortunately, Chen Shu couldn't hear any sound and didn't understand what was said in the meeting.
"There's a big problem!"
Chen Shu stopped prying into the man's affairs and prepared to leave the dormitory to discuss it with Qin Tian.
A Liang and the others were playing a game. He glanced over and smiled, "Chen Shu, you're awake at eleven? A rare occurrence!"
"I have something to do and I'm going out!"
Chen Shu didn't have the leisure to chat with them and left the dormitory directly.
Half an hour later, in the principal's office,
Qin Tian was making himself a cup of morning coffee, preparing to handle the school's affairs for the day.
"Principal, something big has happened!"
Chen Shu pushed open the door and rushed in.
"Hmm?"
Qin Tian smiled and said, "What's wrong? Did your contracted spirit evolve again?"
