"Alas..."
A flicker of unwillingness flashed in Liu Feng's eyes.
Because they were in different spaces, his skill was weakened. Otherwise, it would have been a guaranteed kill.
He asked, "Chen Pi, can that thing of yours deal with him?"
"Well... it's hard to say..."
Chen Shu shook his head and said, "It's a shame I'm out of nuke-grade reagents. Otherwise, he'd be nothing but ashes by now."
"So he's still alive? You didn't throw in fake medicine just now, did you?"
Liu Feng sighed, but then he thought of something, and excitement returned to his face.
This meant he could still personally kill his enemy, so it wasn't too bad.
"However, he won't be feeling great. He'll be bedridden for at least a month or two."
Chen Shu smiled slightly, realizing inwardly that the burning reagent really wasn't effective...
Whether in terms of power or range, it was far inferior to the explosive reagent.
In fact, what he didn't know was that the special effect of the burning reagent was to repel fierce beasts...
But it was all because he had never used it in an异空间 (Yì Kōngjiān - different dimension/space), always deploying it within cities...
"Alright, let's head back."
Liu Feng didn't pay too much attention. He was already King-level now, and he would surely find opportunities to kill Buck in the future.
*Hummmmm—*
The Starry Sky Ruins steadily moved through the space of a certain dimension, heading straight for China's [Qing Yuan Forest].
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
The Starry Sky Ruins successfully arrived in [Qing Yuan Forest].
*Hummmmm—*
The sea of stars vibrated, and its forward momentum disappeared.
The entire ruins merged with the space of Qing Yuan Forest, preparing to anchor itself here.
In Qing Yuan Forest,
"Huh? What's going on?!"
Liu Xiaoming was a Black Iron-level Beast Tamer adventuring alone. Confident in his personal strength, he had never joined a Beast Tamer team.
He was fully focused on a mutated ice wild rabbit ahead, a flicker of excitement in his eyes.
Mutated fierce beasts were extremely valuable, and it wasn't easy to encounter a solitary one.
Not everyone could interact with Lord-level and King-level beasts every day like Chen Shu. Ordinary Beast Tamers basically made a living by hunting mutated fierce beasts.
Liu Xiaoming stroked the contracted spirit beside him, a large black scorpion that remained still, but black light emanated from the tip of its tail.
Just as it was about to strike, the ice wild rabbit seemed startled and instinctively ran away.
"Huh? Did it detect me?"
Liu Xiaoming's gaze was puzzled. Logically, the ice wild rabbit shouldn't have been able to detect him.
As he pondered, streaks of starlight suddenly appeared ahead...
"What is this?!"
His eyes were filled with curiosity, and he patiently waited in place.
*Hummmmm—*
Streaks of starlight descended from the sky, as if appearing out of nowhere.
It was nighttime, and the dazzling starlight permeated the area, illuminating the ground within a hundred meters.
"Could it be that some treasure is about to appear?"
Liu Xiaoming's body trembled slightly, his eyes filled with excitement. A legendary opportunity had fallen upon him.
But before long, a strange noise came from not far away. He saw a five-person Beast Tamer team approaching, their expressions incredibly excited.
"Someone's coming?"
Liu Xiaoming frowned. He was alone and could not contend against an entire Beast Tamer team.
However, just then, the starlight permeated again, illuminating the ground within three hundred meters, attracting even more Beast Tamers...
"It's over, I can't keep it all to myself..."
Liu Xiaoming's mouth twitched. There were already about ten people beside the starlight, all wary of each other.
Because of the previous incident with the Giant Tiger King, [Qing Yuan Forest] had attracted many Beast Tamers for exploration, which was why so many people had gathered at once.
"Brother Wang, what's going on here?"
A Beast Tamer asked, his gaze fixed on the starlight ahead.
The man replied, "How would I know? But it's definitely not ordinary."
At this moment, the starlight descended, subtly forming an unstable passage, within which a sea of stars seemed to exist.
Instantly, the ten or so onlookers became even more excited.
Some, with extensive knowledge, had already vaguely recognized it, and their bodies couldn't help but tremble.
Liu Xiaoming's mind was quite clear, and he murmured to himself:
"Forget it, better to directly report it to the authorities. I can still get intelligence rewards."
Saying that, he whispered something to the small red bird on his shoulder, instructing it to go to the Spirit Suppression Army outpost to deliver the message.
One day passed.
The starlight had already covered hundreds of meters, and nearly a hundred Beast Tamers had gathered.
As everyone waited, their expressions suddenly jolted, and they looked towards the distant sky.
They saw a giant ice phoenix flying across the horizon.
Two middle-aged men stood side by side, both gazing at the starlight in the distance.
It was the Governor of Nancang Province and Qin Tian, the Principal of Huaxia Academy!
In the blink of an eye, the two arrived at the site of the starlight.
"Disperse, everyone!"
The Governor of Nancang's tone was calm but left no room for argument. His King-level aura pressed down on everyone's hearts like a mountain.
Ruins were considered extremely rare resources, sufficient to cause a transformation in Beast Tamers, and were naturally managed by the authorities, with spots awarded to those who had rendered great service.
Everyone remained silent, sighing inwardly. The presence of two King-level individuals was too imposing.
At this moment, the Governor of Nancang spoke again:
"Everyone can go to the Resource Bureau to collect some rewards."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression lit up. At least there were some rewards, so it wasn't a complete loss.
*Hummmmm—*
At this time, the starlight became even more dazzling, and the spatial passage stabilized.
"Old Qin, still thinking?"
The Governor of Nancang looked at Qin Tian, who was distracted beside him.
"There's still no news of Old Liu and Chen Pi. I really can't rest easy."
Qin Tian's brow was furrowed. He had originally come to seek the Governor of Nancang's help to go to the Far North together to find Chen Shu.
But unfortunately, they encountered the emergence of the ruins.
As they were the closest King-level individuals, they could only make a trip to [Qing Yuan Forest] first.
"After dealing with the ruins, I'll go to the Far North with you."
The Governor of Nancang smiled and said,
"Don't worry too much. They're Chen Pi and Liu Feng! I think even if the Blue Star exploded, those two would survive..."
"That's true..."
Qin Tian nodded, but the worry in his eyes did not disappear.
The news of the commotion in the Far North had already spread globally.
A team of five King-level Beast Tamers led the charge, resulting in two minor injuries, one severe injury, and two missing.
Such a tragic situation had shocked the entire world.
Even a legendary contracted spirit from the Free Alliance had made a move. Unfortunately, it only killed one King-level beast before being trapped for unknown reasons and only escaped two days later.
By then, the horde of fierce beasts had long since vanished without a trace.
The Governor of Nancang said softly, "I actually suspect that the beast riot was caused by Chen Shu again..."
"It shouldn't be possible, right..."
Qin Tian pondered and said, "The King-level fierce beasts in the Far North numbered in the double digits!"
"He's Chen Shu..."
The Governor of Nancang shook his head, not overly worried in his heart.
Qin Tian was actually worrying unnecessarily. With the combined strength of Chen Shu and Liu Feng, even a legendary-level cultivator might not be able to kill them.
He spoke to comfort him:
"Perhaps this guy has already returned and is just on vacation..."
