[Option 1: Head to the Free Alliance's territory with the others! Reward: Substantial Beast Taming Power]
[Option 2: Stall for time and call for reinforcements from home! Reward: A random King-tier medicinal herb]
[Option 3: Leave the team alone to lure the ferocious beasts away! Simultaneously, give them ten bottles of explosive potions! Reward: Explosive potion effect increased by 30%! Note: Ten bottles of explosive potions have been placed in the system space]
"Huh?!"
The moment Chen Shu saw the explosive potions, his entire demeanor shifted, and he instantly felt energized.
"A thirty percent nuclear bomb boost!!"
Chen Shu, a fervent enthusiast of nuclear bombs, was ecstatic. Any hesitation would be a disrespect to the explosive potions.
As for beast taming power and medicinal herbs, he was truly unfamiliar with them...
"Hey! What are you muttering about, kid? Having a fit at a critical moment?"
Liu Feng gave Chen Shu a rap on the head and asked, "Do you have any ideas or not?"
"Of course, I do!"
Chen Shu put on a pretense of self-sacrifice and said, "I'll help you lure away the ferocious beasts, so you'll all be safe."
"???"
Everyone's expressions faltered, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Was this still the same notorious bandit from Nanjiang?
"You'll help us lure them away?"
Chen Qinghai was also greatly surprised, not expecting this fellow's awareness to have improved so much after only meeting the elder twice!
"Of course!"
Chen Shu nodded and said,
"Their target is clearly me. As long as I leave the team, you'll basically be safe."
The others pondered, their gazes shifting to the three King-tier individuals, leaving the decision to them.
Chen Qinghai and Fang Wei, in turn, looked towards Liu Feng.
After all, Chen Shu had the best relationship with him, and they were in a teacher-student relationship.
"Alright!"
After a pause, Liu Feng agreed. With his divine skills, Chen Shu indeed had nothing to worry about regarding his safety.
The Space Rabbit's strength had increased significantly. Not to mention ordinary ferocious beasts, even an Archbishop like 'Kong' might not be able to trap Chen Shu.
"You guys keep your communication devices handy. If you encounter a major crisis, inform me directly,"
Chen Shu said, with a hint of contemplation. "What if their target isn't me, but you?"
Once surrounded by ferocious beasts, Liu Feng and the others would still have difficulty escaping without his divine skills.
"There's no need to worry about that."
Liu Feng smiled and shook his head, saying, "I believe the look in someone's eyes when they want to stab someone cannot be hidden..."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. They weren't like the notorious bandit with enemies all over the globe.
This possibility was indeed minuscule.
"Let's go!"
Chen Shu waved his hand and, riding Xiao Huang, swaggered away.
Unsurprisingly, as soon as he left the area, the ferocious beasts from beneath the sea followed him.
"It seems we're safe..."
The group exchanged glances, unsure whether it was fortunate or unfortunate to have executed the mission with Chen Shu...
"Alright! Since there's no more danger, let's not delay any further!"
Chen Qinghai declared, retracting his contracted spirit beast and mounting the Heavenly Ice Phoenix King.
The group changed direction and proceeded along their planned route.
As for Chen Shu, no matter what route he took, it made no difference...
Fang Wei asked with a smile, "Old Liu, are you really not worried about Chen Shu being alone?"
He had expected Liu Feng to try and stop him, after all, the seas were teeming with countless ferocious beasts, and even Beast Emperors existed.
"What's there to worry about?"
Liu Feng shrugged his shoulders and said, "You've all seen his abilities. In terms of survival alone, the three of us combined are no match for him."
"..."
Fang Wei fell silent, unable to find a reason to refute.
"However, we should still let him be careful. If the ferocious beasts attack in large numbers, they might just trap him."
Chen Qinghai said, while activating the communication device in his right hand.
But just then, a terrifying rumbling sound echoed, causing everyone's bodies to tremble.
"Huh?!"
Everyone's expressions changed, and they all looked in one direction, their expressions becoming extremely peculiar.
Tens of thousands of meters away in the sea, a radiant white sun hung high in the sky, containing a terrifying energy that even they could sense.
"Uh..."
Chen Qinghai's expression froze. He looked at the others and asked, "Am I worrying a bit too much..."
"Not a bit..."
Fang Wei swallowed and said, "It's considerably too much!"
A notorious bandit wielding a nuclear bomb, would he truly fear a swarm tactic?
Ling Chen muttered, "I think with us here, we might actually be limiting his performance..."
He had only left for a few minutes and had already pulled out a nuclear bomb to test its power?
This was truly unreasonable...
"I hope the carcasses of the ferocious beasts are alright..."
Liu Feng silently made a gesture of prayer, already imagining the scene on the sea's surface.
The group turned away, no longer having any concerns...
Now, it was the ferocious beasts who should be afraid...
...
"Whoa!"
Chen Shu grinned, hiding in Xiao Huang's mouth.
His hands were itching to try out the power of a nuclear bomb right at the start.
"Guji!"
Xiao Huang's defense was monstrous, allowing it to soar freely within the nuclear bomb's energy field.
And ferocious beasts below Silver tier were also unharmed. Unfortunately, most of the beasts beneath the water were small fry, and they were instantly vaporized.
When it came to slaughtering weaker opponents, nuclear bombs were indeed the most effective...
"Roar!"
The Golden Dragonfish in the distance roared, having witnessed the drastic changes in the sea area.
But by the time they arrived at the scene at full speed, Chen Shu was long gone...
...
"Today, I must blast to my heart's content!"
Chen Shu grinned, shaking a gray potion bottle in his hand.
Using his teleportation skill, he arrived in a new sea area.
However, to his surprise, as soon as he appeared, the ferocious beasts below scattered, daring not to gather together.
Evidently, the ferocious beasts had some special means of transmitting information.
"They're scared of me already?"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow. To complete the option, he had to throw all ten bottles of potions.
But if the effect wasn't good, it would leave him feeling displeased.
Blasting so few ferocious beasts was simply an insult to nuclear bombs!
