"Today is a good day..."
At this moment, Chen Shu was unaware of the approaching crisis, still focused on hunting monarchs.
"Dali, time to work."
The previous soul-soothing chicken soup had been used up, so new dishes had to be prepared to attract the monarchs.
Dali nodded, taking out the blood and essence of a King-ranked contracted spirit, and began to cook with concentration.
Chen Shu had already arrived in the central area of the [Lost Desert]. Sandstorms raged all around. Without professional equipment, it was very easy to get lost.
Boom!
Er Ha casually spat out a fireball, instantly killing a giant yellow lizard hidden in the sandstorm.
"Why do I feel a bit uneasy?"
Chen Shu touched his chin, scanning the sandstorm, but detected nothing unusual.
Zhang Dali, standing beside him, spoke up, "You feel it too?"
"Hmm? You do as well?!"
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"It feels a bit similar to the time I was assassinated before," Zhang Dali said, a trace of unease in his eyes.
At the award ceremony for the God of Cookery Cup, he had actually had a moment of alertness, but with his reaction speed, it was impossible to dodge.
"It seems there really is a problem..."
Chen Shu was not surprised. Killing so many monarchs was bound to cause repercussions.
"So, what do we do? Still hunt?"
"Let me think..."
Chen Shu closed his eyes, seemingly in thought, but in reality, he was waiting for the system's options...
As expected, the option he had been longing for appeared!
[In one day, you will face a life-and-death crisis. You decide:]
[Option One: Run without hesitation! Completion reward: Three King-ranked medicinal herbs]
[Option Two: As the fierce bandit of Nanjiang, you decide to kill the powerful enemy alone! Completion reward: Berserk Potion * 2! Note: Extremely risky]
[Option Three: Find someone to help and surround and kill the enemy together! Completion reward: Large amount of Beast Taming Power + Healing Potion * 1]
"Hmm?"
Chen Shu's eyes showed thought as he surveyed the three options.
Indeed, he had been targeted by some unknown creature.
But in a dangerous-level异空间 (Yi Kongjian -异空间), the strongest should only be Silver Monarchs.
Could it really be the black and white butterflies of the [Lost Desert]?
"The system knows my strength, but still says it's extremely risky..."
His eyes flickered, and he directly eliminated the second option.
With his current strength and limitless future, why risk his life unnecessarily? Wouldn't steady development be better?
"The third option is reliable, and there's a new magical potion..."
Chen Shu thought for a moment and decided to execute the third option.
When a group attack is possible, why would anyone choose a one-on-one fight? Isn't that simply crazy?
Moreover, the elder's contracted spirit was injured, and the healing potion might be useful...
"It's only in one day that I'll encounter the crisis, which means I'm already being watched by something."
Chen Shu glanced around, a guess already forming in his mind.
An hour later,
The blue dragon, still hidden beneath the ground, leisurely followed Chen Shu, its killing intent almost impossible to suppress.
Just then, the target in the distance suddenly vanished with a spatial shift.
"Space skill?"
Shock flickered in the blue dragon's eyes. This was an extremely rare attribute.
However, it let out a cold laugh and immediately emitted a fluctuation, contacting the local monarchs.
Coincidentally, the monarch of this area was of the space element!
Even if it couldn't defeat Chen Shu, it could still restrict his spatial abilities.
"Even heaven is helping me!"
Soul Dragon's killing intent surged, already fantasizing about Chen Shu's death.
It turned its head, and its vision still showed a blue, glowing body.
Chen Shu had been hit by its detection skill. As long as he didn't leave the异空间, it would always be able to find him.
This was also why the system was certain that he would face a crisis in a day.
The next second, Chen Shu vanished again, arriving in another location.
"Trying to scheme against your fierce bandit brother, you've got another thing coming!"
Chen Shu was alone in Little Yellow's mouth, still feeling uneasy.
This meant he was being constantly locked onto.
But at this moment, Zhang Dali had already disappeared and returned to Blue Star to fetch reinforcements.
As time passed,
Chen Shu continued to wander aimlessly, appearing as if he were merely sightseeing.
As night fell, the temperature in the [Lost Desert] plummeted. Even the scorching surface during the day was covered with a thin layer of frost, which ordinary people could not endure.
Chen Shu performed another ultra-long-distance spatial shift, arriving in yet another location.
Ten minutes later, the blue dragon caught up.
And tens of thousands of meters away, a black and white butterfly, concealing its aura, was also tracking Chen Shu.
It was waiting for the Beast Emperor to arrive, planning to act in conjunction with its clone.
At this moment, Chen Shu no longer shifted, letting his contracted spirits stay in place, a strange smile appearing on his lips.
...
The next morning, on the edge of the [Lost Desert],
Spatial fog churned, and then a three-meter-long blue dragon flew out.
Immediately, a nearby Silver mutated fierce beast was stunned. It had never seen a living being enter or exit the forbidden fog.
"It's finally here..."
The blue dragon spoke human words, a coldness in its eyes.
It looked at the Silver fierce beast beside it, its blood-red irises swirling like a vortex.
Instantly, the fierce beast lost its life aura and fell to the ground.
"In a desert..."
The Soul Dragon clone forcibly plundered the fierce beast's memories, gaining a general understanding of the area.
At the same time, it spread its soul aura, permeating the entire异空间, contacting the local monarchs.
The black and white butterfly's wings trembled, and it quickly responded.
Soul Dragon muttered to itself, "Chen Shu, you son of a bitch, today is your death day!"
At this moment, consumed by killing intent, it would never imagine:
The most sophisticated hunters often appear in the guise of prey...
