Freedom State,
"Finally, we're back..."
Chen Shu stretched. Although the process had been quite exciting, his taut nerves now felt a little weary as they relaxed.
"Chen Pi!"
Just then, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
Liu Feng stood outside the Black Tower, a look of worry deep in his eyes.
"Teacher, why are you here?"
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback. "Weren't you guys picking up our compatriots?"
"The process went too smoothly; it was completed ahead of schedule."
Liu Feng walked over and said sternly, "What were you doing in the [Demon's Nest]?"
The moment he received the news, a bad premonition instantly filled his mind.
His main concern was that this fellow might push the alliance to its premature end.
Chen Shu shrugged. "Old Qiao had something to entrust to me. Earning some extra cash..."
"Old Qiao?" Liu Feng looked confused.
"The legendary Beast Tamer of the Freedom Alliance. You don't know him?"
"???"
Liu Feng's expression froze. "He entrusted you, a Golden Beast Tamer? What a joke!"
"There are things that even legends may not be able to accomplish."
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow and said,
"Alright, Teacher. Nothing has happened now, and everything has been resolved perfectly. We can go back."
As soon as he finished speaking, a rapid alarm blared across the city's sky.
In an instant, the entire Dark City seemed to come alive, with experts from various alliances converging on the [Demon's Nest].
"Are you sure nothing happened?"
Liu Feng's expression was peculiar. Almost all the beast tamers in the city were mobilized!
"Uh... probably..."
Chen Shu gave a dry laugh. "It has nothing to do with us anymore. Old Qiao can handle it."
Liu Feng gave him a deep look, unable to help but sigh inwardly:
Someone actually dared to ask Chen Shu for a favor. Wasn't that just asking for trouble?
The objective might be achieved, but the side effects would be too great...
Now, there had clearly been some minor changes.
Given their helpful nature, they decided to leave Dark City decisively...
In fact, the situation wasn't as tense as they thought.
The Demon Bat Emperor and the other three Beast Emperors hadn't reached an agreement. They insisted on a slow erosion, and the Bat Emperor's aggressive plan was naturally opposed.
This led to only the Bat Emperor's faction attacking, while the other three Beast Emperors only symbolically sent a few subordinates.
Old Qiao had seized this opportunity, summoning all his experts to strike a heavy blow against the ferocious beasts, buying the alliance as much survival time as possible...
...
Night fell,
"Brothers, prepare to depart!"
Chen Shu and Liu Feng, along with over ten thousand compatriots, left Freedom State under the cover of night. Bafeng Novel
Since there were no ferocious beasts near Freedom State, everyone left safely and headed directly for the designated location, [Dar State].
"What's been going on with the ferocious beasts lately?"
Liu Feng sat on the back of the Ice Bird, gazing at the boundless land.
The offensive of the ferocious beasts on Blue Star had slowed down considerably, and the high-level ferocious beasts had disappeared, giving humanity a brief respite.
Chen Shu stroked his chin and said, "Maybe they're tired and want to rest."
"You didn't do it, did you?"
Liu Feng turned to look at him. He knew Chen Shu too well.
Whenever something abnormal happened, it was usually related to this fellow...
"Uh... How could that be?!"
Chen Shu shrugged. He didn't actually understand the specific situation.
"Really?"
Liu Feng's eyes showed a hint of doubt. "But it's good for us too. At least the mission difficulty has decreased significantly."
"Teacher, what's the progress of everyone else's mission now?"
Aside from the Freedom Alliance, other countries also had King-level beast tamers leading the way.
Liu Feng replied, "They're all about the same. Some have already reached the teleportation points and are waiting, while others are still on their way."
"Let them go first. Surely everyone isn't waiting for me to arrive before leaving?"
"?"
Liu Feng glanced at him and explained, "It has nothing to do with you. The teleportation points can't be maintained indefinitely. We can only leave together once everyone has gathered."
"Is that so..."
Chen Shu nodded, but for some reason, he had a bad feeling...
Three days passed in the blink of an eye,
Dar State, Northern Defense Line,
"Old Chen, they're back!"
Chen Qinghai and Fang Wei had been waiting outside the defense line for a long time, simultaneously clearing ordinary ferocious beasts.
In the distance, over ten thousand people were rapidly approaching on their respective Contracted Spirits.
The leading Contracted Spirit was a colossal slime, looking incredibly imposing and cool.
A moment later, Chen Shu and the others arrived within the defense line and merged with the main force.
"Chen Pi, are you alright?"
Fang Wei laughed and scolded, "Did you go causing trouble in the [Demon's Nest] again for no reason?"
"Uncle Fang, what kind of talk is that?"
Chen Shu pouted and said, "I was saving people! Saving people! Saving people!"
"He was indeed saving people."
Liu Feng nodded with a serious expression. "And incidentally, causing a major riot in the [Demon's Nest]..."
"..."
Everyone fell silent. As expected, the bandit's demeanor remained the same...
"Alright, it doesn't concern us much."
Liu Feng shook his head and said, "Old Fang, have all the people gathered? Let's prepare to leave!"
Fang Wei nodded and immediately issued new orders.
In a short while,
The defense line of [Dar State] was opened, and a vast expanse of beast tamers on Contracted Spirits arrived, creating a spectacular scene.
"How many people are there?"
Chen Shu looked ahead, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Liu Feng explained from the side, "There are over a hundred thousand people from twenty-one states, but most of them are beast tamers!" Bafeng Novel
"So many? And their strength doesn't seem weak..."
Chen Shu murmured, "If we add those from other countries, wouldn't there be hundreds of thousands?"
If these people could be brought back, it would not only increase the cohesion of the country's beast tamers but also play a significant role in terms of combat power.
At this critical juncture, all forces must be gathered to resist the invasion of ferocious beasts.
"About right."
Fang Wei nodded and smiled. "And the main force consists of Black Iron and Silver, as basic beast tamers can't get by abroad."
As everyone was conversing, the magnificent team ahead was already approaching,
"Bandit Brother!"
Everyone's eyes turned to Chen Shu, filled with admiration and gratitude.
If he hadn't forcefully killed the leader of the Dark Angel tribe, the escort mission probably wouldn't have gone so smoothly. After all, there were always those with malicious intentions who wanted to use them to make a profit.
For a time, Chen Shu's prestige even surpassed that of the other three Kings.
Liu Feng and the other two exchanged smiles, truly surprised by Chen Shu's influence.
Chen Qinghai raised an eyebrow and smiled,
"Bandit Brother, what do we do next?"
"Yes, we'll all listen to Bandit Brother!" Fang Wei chimed in.
"Minister, Uncle Fang, you are both my elders, so please don't call me that..."
Chen Shu waved his hands repeatedly and then said seriously,
"However, Old Liu, you can still call me that."
"???"
Liu Feng's expression froze, and he directly gave Chen Shu a rap on the head. So, I'm not your elder anymore?
"Alright."
Chen Qinghai shook his head and smiled,
"Brothers, let's depart! Destination, homeland!"
Hundreds of thousands of people cheered in unison, carrying their belongings, and embarked on their journey home.
Their faces were filled with happy smiles, their hearts brimming with excitement, until... they saw the 'golden' sea domain...
