"???"
Fang Wei's mouth twitched. "You're two whole major levels higher, and you have the nerve to say that?"
"I do! I love the thrill of a swift kill..."
Chen Shu rubbed his hands together. He was now confident that with his full power unleashed, he could kill a Black Iron Monarch within a minute!
"Forget it. Leave the Black Iron Monarchs to the others. Besides, the moment your Golden aura appears in the异空间 (yì kōng jiān -异空间), the Black Iron Monarchs will have already fled."
Fang Wei glanced at him. Beasts weren't stupid; why would they stubbornly resist when they knew they couldn't win?
"You just focus on hunting Silver Monarchs. The official intel has already been sent to your beast-taming network email!"
Fang Wei reminded him:
"It mainly contains the Monarch's approximate location and innate skills. Of course, there might be changes, so you'll have to adapt."
"Don't worry, I have experience in that regard."
Chen Shu nodded. He had slain more than one Monarch, and his record was incomparable to other beast tamers.
"Also, for one Silver Monarch, the official reward is a hundred thousand Huaxia points, and all of the Monarch's materials will be yours."
It wasn't just Chen Shu who received rewards; everyone else would too. Resources were meant to train them anyway, and this was just a way to distribute them as rewards.
"One hundred thousand..."
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow. That was equivalent to two to three billion Huaxia yuan. Da Feng Chinese Network.
Compared to the combat power of a Silver Monarch, the reward might not seem too high, but the key was that all Monarch materials belonged to him, and the officials would provide all sorts of detailed intelligence.
"No problem."
Chen Shu agreed with a nod. He seemed to recall something and asked, "Uncle Fang, I'm not acting alone, am I? Will this have a deterrent effect?"
Even with his combat power, hunting a Silver Monarch was not easy and required a considerable amount of time.
"Of course not!"
Fang Wei smiled slightly and said softly, "Top experts from all over the country will participate, not just the Imperial Dragon Guard, but also professors and principals from Huaxia Academy, and even top civilian beast-taming teams."
"Moreover, most of the strong individuals from Longyuan have quietly evacuated, preparing to target the Golden Monarchs in other 异空间!"
"Longyuan is withdrawing?!"
Chen Shu's eyes widened. "Aren't you afraid it will be breached?!"
If something happened to Longyuan, then Blue Star would truly be in great danger.
"This is all Grandpa's plan. He will guard Longyuan City."
Fang Wei said softly, "According to Grandpa's analysis, the fierce beasts are currently forming a grand alliance, but it's only due to common interests, especially from the various 异空间 that possess Beast Emperors."
Chen Shu nodded thoughtfully. Even the Beast Emperors within Longyuan didn't get along with each other, let alone Beast Emperors from different 异空间.
Their alliance was indeed not very stable.
"Grandpa is certain that the fierce beasts in Longyuan dare not launch a large-scale attack."
Fang Wei slowly said, "Instead of that, we should take this opportunity to directly strike at the other fierce beasts and weaken their strength! Once a Monarch is dead, the combat capability of an entire 异空间 will drastically decrease."
"Is that so?"
Chen Shu mused, "Won't that be too risky?"
"Actually, there won't be much risk."
Fang Wei chuckled. "There's a King-level three-star mentally contracted spirit that will unleash skills to create the illusion that powerful individuals are still in Longyuan. And if a real crisis occurs, Grandpa has countermeasures."
Now that the Nine-tailed Fox had just died, and the Beast Emperor alliance was not solid, they indeed wouldn't dare to proactively attack Longyuan City.
Although it could be confirmed that Grandpa's contracted spirit had also sustained some injuries,
if they were truly pushed to the brink, a Beast Emperor would inevitably perish. No fierce beast wanted to be that unlucky one...
"That's good then."
Chen Shu nodded. He couldn't stop Grandpa's decision and just needed to do his own job.
He raised an eyebrow and said, "In that case, Uncle Fang, you'll be taking action too?"
"Of course. At that time, I will join forces with your teacher and Principal Qin to deal with a Golden level one Monarch."
Fang Wei didn't hide anything from Chen Shu; he was qualified to know the official decisions.
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback. "You three teaming up can only deal with it?"
"..."
Fang Wei's mouth twitched. How could he, a King-level expert, feel somewhat looked down upon?
"What do you think a Golden Monarch is, a weakling?"
They not only had to deal with the Monarch but also had to handle the endless ordinary fierce beasts surrounding it. Moreover, even with the three of them working together, success was not guaranteed.
"Alright... I'll be going then."
Chen Shu shrugged. With his pseudo-King level strength, hunting Silver Monarchs alone was not a problem.
"Don't tell anyone else about today's events, especially Grandpa's plan. They are not at a high enough level."
"Okay."
Chen Shu waved his hand and turned to leave the office.
"This kid, he's truly a freak..."
Fang Wei shook his head. Perhaps only Chen Shu in the entire world was most suitable for hunting Monarchs.
Because his combat power was immense, but his actual beast-taming level was only Golden level one, which wouldn't arouse the Monarch's suspicion.
If a King-level expert were dispatched, the Silver Monarchs would immediately go into hiding, making hunting impossible.
Fang Wei looked out the window, overlooking the bustling South Cang City, and murmured to himself:
"Danger and opportunity coexist. I hope everyone can undergo a transformation."
...
"It's time for a major undertaking..."
Chen Shu rubbed his hands together and muttered, "I need to call Old Xie! With his help, the search efficiency will be sky-high!"
"And I need to call Da Li Zhang!"
The little spirit in his pocket immediately said, "If he's not here, I won't make a move!"
"..."
Chen Shu sighed and said, "You've been completely captivated by food."
"Is there a problem with that?"
The little spirit pouted. "Are you expecting me to be captivated by your urea?"
"..."
As they spoke, dozens of spatial imprints had already condensed on Chen Shu's body. Just as he was about to teleport, he put the little spirit away and returned to South Jiang City.
He immediately called Xie Su Nan, but there was no answer.
"Could he have gone to the 异空间?"
Chen Shu frowned, recalling the intelligence provided by the officials. It was likely obtained by the reconnaissance department.
"It seems Old Xie is busy."
He shook his head and simultaneously opened the email on his computer, which indeed contained the Monarch intelligence sent by the officials.
"Hmm?!"
Chen Shu's attention was immediately drawn to the intelligence of a particular Monarch.
He saw a giant black tree standing tall, with hundreds of withered branches swaying. The upper part of the trunk had two dark cavities, like eyes, sinister and terrifying.
"Black Tree King?!"
Chen Shu's expression jolted, and he instantly remembered it.
It was the Monarch beast of the 【Living Wood Swamp】!
His memory instantly went back four years, when he adventured with Fang Si's university beast-taming team and happened to encounter the rare event of 异空间 fusion.
The Black Tree King had fought with the White Lion of 【Blazing Sun Hillsides】, and they had taken advantage of the chaos to scavenge.
"Back then, Old Liu and a few other Golden experts only managed to kill the White Lion. It seems I have to deal with the Black Tree King myself..."
He stroked his chin, a hint of killing intent in his eyes.
Four years ago, that thing had actually dared to chase him for half of the 异空间.
Now that the four-year period had passed, the Fierce Bandit King had returned!
