“Get lost! First time I’ve heard someone describe robbery so poetically!”
Ye Qing’s mouth twitched. He hadn’t expected this guy to be so nonsensical even after winning the championship.
“Elder Ye, what do you need me for? Just say it!”
Chen Shu said, crossing his arms behind his head and leaning back comfortably in his chair.
“My time is extremely precious now. The Dragon Abyss matter still awaits my personal attention!”
“You? Dragon Abyss?”
Ye Qing blinked in surprise and then said, “What does this have to do with you, a Silver-ranked cultivator?”
Just as Chen Shu was about to speak, Xiao Xing, standing beside him, interjected.
“Big, very big!”
Chen Shu chuckled, “Xiao Xing understands me.”
However, in the next second, Xiao Xing continued,
“Without his involvement, where would the casualties have come from?”
“??”
Chen Shu turned to look at him and said, “Xiao Xing, have you gotten a bit too arrogant after becoming Silver-ranked?”
“Business, let’s talk business!”
Xiao Xing flinched and quickly changed the subject.
Seeing their bickering, Ye Qing couldn’t help but laugh, then his expression turned serious.
“Actually, it’s like this.”
He cleared his throat and said, “I can’t leave this异空间 (Yi Kong Jian - Other Dimension) for a moment. There’s a King-level presence outside the outpost.”
“King-level?”
Chen Shu blinked, a thought dawning on him as he said,
“It wouldn’t happen to be that Fire Dragon, would it?”
His eyes held a hint of remembrance, recalling the complex relationship he had with the Fire Dragon King.
“That’s right.”
Ye Qing nodded and said,
“It’s not just the Blazing Volcano; it’s the same for all other 异空间 (Yi Kong Jian - Other Dimensions). With King-level beasts lurking nearby, the Golden Beast Tamers dare not leave.”
Chen Shu’s eyes darted around as he asked, “So you want me to come here because…?”
“Do you want to snatch some King-level treasures?”
Ye Qing raised an eyebrow, a mysterious smile playing on his lips.
Chen Shu’s body stiffened, and he said, “Snatch treasures? You don’t mean…?”
“That’s right!”
Ye Qing grinned, saying, “The Fire Dragon King doesn’t have a sure-win advantage, so it won’t appear proactively. Its task is only to keep me confined to the outpost!”
“But it’s different with you here!”
“What’s different?”
“You have no idea how much the Fire Dragon King hates you. It probably dreams of you every single day.”
“…”
Chen Shu’s mouth twitched. Was it really that outrageous?
“Besides, that foolish dragon hasn’t seen the World Championship, so it doesn’t understand your strength!”
Ye Qing’s eyes gleamed with cunning, saying,
“When the time comes, we’ll join forces and pull off a beautiful counter-kill…”
“Is that so…”
Chen Shu blinked, his interest piqued.
With him and Ye Qing teaming up, they could contend with a Silver-ranked King-level beast.
The Fire Dragon King had once ventured into the spatial mist, its tail bitten off by mysterious creatures, and Ye Qing had taken the opportunity to sever one of its wings.
Coupled with the mental humiliation inflicted by Chen Shu, the Fire Dragon King’s strength was now weaker than that of a typical Silver-ranked King-level beast.
He and Ye Qing could definitely defeat it together!
Just as Chen Shu was about to agree, new options appeared before his eyes.
【Option 1: Join forces with Ye Qing to deal with the Fire Dragon King! Completion Reward: Proficiency in Dark Potion advanced to Grandmaster level】
【Option 2: Refuse cooperation and challenge the Fire Dragon King alone! Completion Reward: A large amount of Beast Taming Power】
【Option 3: Claim a nuclear leak at home and make a hasty retreat! Completion Reward: ‘Great Storm’ +1】
Chen Shu blinked, not surprised. In such situations, options usually appeared.
He examined the three options and immediately made his decision.
“Alright! Let’s do it!”
“Little Fire Dragon, your bandit brother is here!!”
Chen Shu grinned. The Fire Dragon had relentlessly pursued him back then, utterly arrogant.
Now that the three-year period had passed, the bandit was ready to return!
“As expected of someone I value!”
Ye Qing’s expression lit up, and he said, “It’s all up to you whether this old man can rest or not!”
“Rest?”
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
“During this period, I haven’t dared to sleep for a moment, fearing the Fire Dragon King would charge in with its beasts. If any beasts invade Blue Star, it will only cause more trouble for the authorities.”
Ye Qing sighed and said, “As long as that beast is heavily wounded, I can finally rest for a while.”
“Then let’s aim to kill it!”
Chen Shu grinned and said, “In that case, wouldn’t you be able to retire?”
“We’ll do our best!”
Ye Qing nodded. If it were just the two of them and the Fire Dragon King, there was hope, but they couldn’t ignore the beasts in the entire 异空间 (Yi Kong Jian - Other Dimension).
“Besides, this old man already retired. I was temporarily dragged out as cannon fodder.”
A flicker of respect appeared in Chen Shu’s eyes as he smiled, “You’re still in great shape, Elder. You could guard for another twenty years!”
“Don’t even joke about it!”
Ye Qing shook his head and said, “It’s almost nightfall, and the beasts will become more agitated. We’ll act tomorrow morning!”
“Okay!”
Chen Shu nodded, then turned and left the building with Xiao Xing.
Ye Qing was deep in thought when he looked up and saw Chen Shu’s figure.
His body stiffened, and he quickly rushed in front of the two,
“Hey! Your rooms are on the right. Where are you two going, towards the warehouse?!”
“Uh…”
Chen Shu blinked and said, “I was worried the Fire Dragon King might try to steal treasures in the middle of the night, so I thought I’d help guard the warehouse.”
“Get lost! That’s a beast, not a bandit!”
Ye Qing’s mouth twitched, and he directly tapped Chen Shu on the head, saying,
“You two sleep in that room tonight. Don’t come out!”
“…”
The two drooped their heads and returned to their room, only able to sleep soundly. Da Feng Novel Network.
…
The next morning,
Chen Shu and Xiao Xing woke up early, both filled with excitement.
Regardless of the circumstances, hunting a King-level beast was an exhilarating prospect!
Ye Qing said, “Chen Shu, you two just need to go out for a stroll and lure it to the designated spot. I’ll be waiting in ambush beforehand!”
“No problem!”
Chen Shu nodded and said, “Xiao Xing, let’s take your Thunderbird!”
“Why?”
“I think that Fire Dragon has quite an impression of your bird.”
“…”
A moment later, the two, riding a mutated Thunderbird, left the Zhenling Army outpost in an outrageously bold manner.
“Commander, will he be alright?”
A Zhenling Army soldier looked worried. This was the World Champion.
If anything happened to him, it would be a national loss.
“No need to worry. This kid’s ability to survive is even greater than mine!”
Ye Qing smiled and said, “He has truly grown into a World Bandit!”
“…”
“Woohoo!”
In the distance, Chen Shu and A Liang stood straight, their arms spread wide, feeling an immense sense of exhilaration.
“Chen Pi, can we lure it out?”
Xiao Xing’s eyes were filled with nervousness. This was a Silver-ranked King-level beast, an absolute overlord of an 异空间 (Yi Kong Jian - Other Dimension)!
Chen Shu said with certainty, “Don’t worry, we definitely can!”
The two flew along without any concealment. However, the Thunder bird’s speed was so great that the surrounding beasts couldn’t keep up.
Meanwhile, deep within a volcano, amidst churning lava, a slumbering Fire Dragon seemed to sense something.
Its eyes widened, as if it had smelled the repulsive scent of a bandit…
“Roar!”
The Fire Dragon King’s body surged out of the lava and landed near the crater.
Its massive eyes were filled with burning flames, as if it were searching for something.
Before long, its expression stiffened. It had indeed spotted the human it had been longing for!
Roar!
In an instant, an uncontrollable surge of killing intent erupted within the Fire Dragon King’s heart!
It might forget who its father was, but it would never forget the Bandit of Nanjiang!
