“You don't think they'll actually throw a nuke, do you? I don't think even terrorists have those.”
The beast tamers around them all wore expressions of curiosity. They had only seen news reports of the "ruthless bandit" throwing nukes online, but few had witnessed it in person.
“I don't think it'll come to that.” Zhang Feng tried to salvage his nephew's reputation, saying, “During the previous battle, he was solely focused on controlling his contracted spirits and didn't use any strange weapons. Perhaps the nuke is just a rumor…”
As soon as Zhang Feng finished speaking, a nuke actually appeared…
A blindingly brilliant white light suddenly materialized in the sky, like a rising sun, creating a truly terrifying spectacle.
In an instant, the thousands of beast tamers in the stronghold simultaneously exclaimed:
“Holy crap, what is that?!”
“So the online rumors weren't false, they were all true…”
“This is the ‘ruthless bandit’ brand nuke! Guys, he’s really going to throw it…”
A wave of discussion erupted among the crowd, their eyes filled with shock, as if they were witnessing a sacred event.
“As expected…” The commander of the Spirit Suppressing Army showed no surprise. They had already been notified from higher up that this guy throwing nukes was perfectly reasonable.
He turned and looked at Zhang Feng in the crowd, smiling, “My friend, is it still a rumor?”
“…”
Zhang Feng’s mouth twitched. His words had barely left his lips before they were immediately refuted. Who knew this guy would actually go through with it…
Boom boom boom!
At this moment, a deafening roar finally reached people's ears, the sound incredibly powerful.
Someone asked, “Commander Liu, will this affect the stronghold?”
“No, it won’t travel that far,” the commander of the Spirit Suppressing Army shook his head and said, “However, I suggest everyone return to Blue Star for now. This might just be the beginning.”
“!!!”
The crowd’s bodies jolted, and they immediately surged towards the spatial portal, preparing to make a hasty retreat.
But in the next second, a figure instantly appeared before them.
“Hmm?”
The expressions of the crowd slightly froze, then turned to absolute shock.
“Why is everyone in such a hurry? Fleeing from disaster?” Chen Shu smiled slightly, looking at the crowd ahead, seemingly puzzled.
“Holy crap! You’re faster than a nuke’s spread?” Someone exclaimed, surprised that Chen Shu had returned to the stronghold so quickly.
“What’s the big deal? You guys are making a fuss over nothing.” Chen Shu shrugged, acting as if they had never seen the world. With his Spatial Rabbit's spatial abilities greatly enhanced, a single spatial imprint could teleport him ten thousand meters. Five superimposed prints meant a full fifty thousand meters, allowing him to return to the stronghold instantly.
Someone pointed to the light in the distance and said, “Brother Ruthless Bandit, that nuke…”
“Don’t worry, it’s only ten of them. The power isn't that great.”
“…”
The crowd was stunned. You just casually throw ten? What kind of nuke magnate are you?!
The next moment, countless people rushed towards the stronghold, wanting to return to Blue Star ahead of others.
“You really don’t need to be afraid!” Chen Shu shook his head. Although there were ten, their power was weakened by the spatial forbidden mist, making them less powerful than a single unadulterated nuke.
Just then, the commander of the Spirit Suppressing Army stepped forward and asked, “Did you throw these again?”
“Uh…” Chen Shu slightly froze, then decisively replied, “I am merely a witness.” Back then, it was Erha who lit the fuse, so he wasn't the culprit.
“??”
The crowd, while running, looked back at Chen Shu, wondering if he could lie without blushing. Chen Shu remained calm, even though many knew nukes were one of his signature weapons. Such matters, however, could not be admitted openly, as it would tarnish his glorious, upright image!
“Alright, retreat slowly, no need to panic!” At this moment, a voice came from behind Chen Shu.
“Hmm?” Chen Shu slightly froze, then turned to look. He saw an old man wearing a tank top and holding a fan, looking at him with a peculiar gaze.
“Grandpa Ye?” Chen Shu’s eyes widened, surprised to see Ye Qing in this ordinary alternate dimension.
“Stinky kid, come with me!” Ye Qing glanced at the white sun in the distance, his expression utterly calm.
Chen Shu, with his head hung low, followed Ye Qing into a house within the stronghold. The onlookers found it uninteresting and turned to leave the [Green Origin Forest].
“What’s your deal?” Ye Qing frowned and asked, “Throwing nukes again? Are there no other beast tamers around?”
“No.” Chen Shu shook his head and said, “Not only are there no people, but there aren’t even any fierce beasts.”
“That’s good.” Ye Qing nodded, but the next second he understood and exclaimed, “No fierce beasts either, then what in the world did you throw nukes for?!”
“Uh…” Chen Shu scratched his head. The problem was, if he didn't throw them, he couldn't complete the system's option. His eyes darted around as he thought about how to phrase his explanation.
“Actually…”
“Enough, stop talking for now!” Ye Qing anticipated his words and said, “I don’t quite believe you. Make an oath first.”
“What kind of oath?” Ye Qing pondered for a moment, then slowly said, “If you lie, you’ll never be able to hit anyone with a urea bag for the rest of your life!”
“Holy crap, Old Man Ye, that’s too vicious?!” Chen Shu’s eyes widened, shocked by such an oath, which was a complete knockout blow to him!
“If I don’t get tough, you’ll just start spouting nonsense again.”
“…”
Chen Shu’s mouth twitched, then he slowly said, “Actually, I encountered a special situation. You know about the spatial forbidden mist, don’t you?”
“Forbidden mist?” Ye Qing nodded and said, “When I was a professor at Huaxia Academy, I did related research. You encountered the forbidden mist?”
“I did.” Chen Shu replied, “But it wasn’t at the border of the [Green Origin Forest], it was inside a lake…”
