"Uh... is that so?"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow, seemingly genuinely uncertain.
"What do you think?"
Qiao Na rolled her eyes, having actually been led by him to the lair of fierce beasts.
The most dangerous place is the safest, right…
"Alright, don't dwell on the details."
Chen Shu waved his hand and said, "It's all pretty much the same."
"..."
Qiao Na fell silent instantly, unable to comprehend Chen Shu's line of thinking anymore.
"It's not too late for us to go back now…"
Chen Shu took out a system teleportation potion.
Based on his estimation, the fierce beast army was likely arriving soon.
Just as he was about to use it, his gaze suddenly swept across,
And he saw a massive canyon ahead, the scene feeling somewhat familiar.
"Huh? We've circled back to the territory of the Bat Emperor again?"
He raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He had been too engrossed in his plundering before and hadn't paid attention to directions, as long as he could snatch treasures.
"What's wrong? You're not thinking of revisiting the old place, are you?"
Qiao Na's expression tensed, and she quickly said, "There's really nothing left there. I think we shouldn't waste any more time."
"What if there is?"
Chen Shu grinned and said seriously:
"I only took a little bit of its materials, and it actually sent the entire alien space's fierce beasts to trouble me! This debt must be repaid today!"
"..."
Qiao Na's expression froze. What kind of bandit logic was this…
She rubbed her head, now feeling a bit of sympathy for the fierce beasts. This guy was far more brutal than them…
"Let's go!"
Chen Shu rode on the Slime and plunged headfirst into the Bat Emperor's territory.
Half an hour later,
Chen Shu, cloaked in stealth, clapped his hands and left with a smile.
Although the Bat Emperor's materials had been plundered, there were still resources stored by other fierce beasts within the territory.
"What… what kind of potion is that?! It can make you invisible?!"
Qiao Na unfurled her hands in disbelief, feeling that her previous ideas had been overturned.
The Bat Emperor's territory still had three King-level overlords, yet they hadn't detected their presence at all. Chen Shu had easily looted quite a few materials.
"There's a reason why I, the Fierce Bandit of Nanjiang, have been able to roam the martial world for so many years."
Chen Shu grinned, offering no explanation.
He was now a powerhouse on Blue Star and didn't worry about his magical potions being exposed.
"Can you sell some to our alliance?"
Qiao Na quickly said, hope gleaming in her eyes. It was currently wartime, and the value of such a potion was immense.
"Do you think this thing is like Chinese cabbage…"
Chen Shu shook his head and rejected it without a second thought.
Even with his unlock of the magical potion's illustration book, he couldn't configure it infinitely, and the cost was a major issue…
Moreover, he needed to satisfy his own needs first, followed by the major powerhouses of China. There were basically no surplus items for other factions.
"That's true… such things are likely only possessed by legends…"
Qiao Na nodded, instinctively assuming it was gifted by China's strongest individuals.
"Alright, let's prepare to leave."
Chen Shu glanced at the dry, black forest below the canyon, then summoned his Husky.
"We still need to burn it, otherwise it won't feel like this fierce bandit has paid a visit…"
"Roar roar!"
The three Huskies barked, and their fire element surged out.
Almost simultaneously, the three King-level overlords below sensed it, but it was already too late to stop them.
[Death Fire Pillar] [Skyfire Meteor] [Ground Fire Eruption], and other fire attribute skills poured out.
In an instant, the bat forest below ignited…
The flames spread, accompanied by black smoke, engulfing the entire canyon.
The remaining bat fierce beasts instantly went into a frenzy, some trying to search for the culprits, others trying to extinguish the flames.
A King-level overlord tilted its head, accurately locking onto Chen Shu above, and charged forward rapidly.
"Bye-bye…"
Chen Shu waved his hand and downed the teleportation potion in his mouth.
At the same time, he recalled his contracted spirits and grabbed Qiao Na's shoulder.
The two instantly vanished from their spot…
"Hiss!"
The giant bat of the King-level overlord let out a roar, killing intent surging in its eyes, but it could only rage ineffectively.
No matter how many skills it unleashed, it could not find any trace of Chen Shu.
Meanwhile, the massive fire below intensified again.
It spewed out poisonous gas, but it was utterly unable to extinguish the flames, only adding to their ferocity without any practical effect.
The black trees below were naturally flammable, and coupled with the Huskies' terrifying fire element, unless a King-level water attribute fierce beast intervened.
However, the bat fierce beasts were all poison attribute without exception, and could only watch helplessly…
At this moment, tens of thousands of meters away,
The Demon Bat Emperor was leading its subordinate fierce beasts, spreading a vast net of search, covering the depths of the [Demon Nest].
To retrieve its lost treasure, the entire [Demon Nest] was mobilized, the scale of the operation was undeniably grand!
Just then, a large purple bat flying high in the sky trembled and quickly arrived beside the Bat Emperor.
"Emperor… it seems to be on fire…"
"???"
The Bat Emperor's eyes turned cold, and it said, "What nonsense are you talking about?! I'm angry now, but I haven't caught fire!"
"No… it's not…"
The purple bat slightly extended its right wing, pointing towards the sky, and said:
"Our home… is gone…"
"Huh?"
The Demon Bat Emperor's gaze flickered, and it looked over. Through the moonlight, it saw a large amount of thick smoke rising into the sky.
Its expression shook violently; that was the location of its territory!
"Hiss!"
Its expression turned furious, and it instantly slapped away the purple bat beside it, heading alone towards its territory.
In a short while, it arrived above the canyon.
Whoosh—
It unfurled its wings that blotted out the sky, fanning them gently, creating gusts of fierce wind that instantly extinguished the flames.
But gazing upon its devastated territory, the Bat Emperor's mind erupted in rage, and it roared towards the sky.
It had only gone out for a trip, and its home was gone…
This turn of events was a pure, unadulterated loss…
"Damn thief!"
The Bat Emperor spread its massive wings, flying back and forth over its territory, simultaneously emitting terrifying sonic waves that echoed throughout the entire alien space, appearing utterly deranged.
Evidently, Chen Shu had driven another one mad.
