He hadn't expected to see so many Star Leaves here; these were all raw materials for crafting berserk potions.
"Could this place be...?"
He opened his device and saw that the Destruction-class异空间 (dimensional space), the Chaos Canyon, was actually nearby.
He had asked Chen Qinghai about the locations worldwide that produced Frenzied Star Leaves, and the primary one was the Chaos Canyon!
"No wonder there are so many..."
He licked his lips, having already decided to make a move.
"But something's not quite right..."
Chen Shu's mind wasn't clouded by greed; he felt a vague sense of danger.
The people in the distance had intentionally exposed all their resources without any concealment, making it seem more like a trap to lure out a snake...
"Just one Gold Three-star, so arrogant?"
Chen Shu muttered, looking at an old man among the crowd. The elder was directing the others with a calm and collected demeanor.
His strength was far inferior to Bak's previous level; Chen Shu could have instantly killed him even without taking any potions.
"I'll kill you, then rob all your stuff!"
He made up his mind, took out a miraculous potion, and prepared to take it again.
But just then, a sudden change occurred.
A beam of starlight suddenly attacked, as if teleporting, directly locking onto the Space Rabbit!
The rabbit's [Combat Instinct (Dragon)] sensed danger and instantly created distance.
But the starlight was like a shadow, still rapidly approaching it!
"A lock-on skill?!"
Chen Shu's expression slightly changed; there was no time to react.
However, the rabbit seemed to sense the crisis and made its own decision, flinging out dozens of spatial marks.
The next second, Chen Shu and Da Li's figures vanished, teleporting tens of thousands of meters away.
Just as he left,
A large hand formed from earth fiercely struck, but it missed.
"It's the Southern Jiang Ruffians!"
The ground not far away cracked open, and from the fissures emerged two black-robed figures, a man and a woman. They were the same two who had inspected Bak's corpse earlier!
They rode their contracted spirits and arrived at the spot where Chen Shu had disappeared.
The man's face was grim. "He could kill Bak?!"
As the church's most wanted criminals, they recognized him instantly.
"But he's only Gold-level..."
The woman murmured, her eyes filled with disbelief. A Gold Two-star killing a King-level Two-star—even science fiction wouldn't dare depict such a thing.
"Perhaps he had reinforcements... or other reasons. His methods have always been strange."
The man's gaze was steady, then he said decisively:
"We can't deal with him for now. Give up."
"But considering his growth rate, shouldn't we target him..."
The woman's expression was solemn, saying:
"Being able to kill a King-level at Gold-level, even with special means, is terrifying enough. I think the church might not be able to handle him in the future."
"I can't handle him right now either!"
The man glanced at her. "That rabbit's reaction speed is too fast. It might have some talent enhancement. I have no way."
"Brother, no way, you're a King-level Three-star expert!"
"Can't do it!"
The man shook his head. "Unless... Kong comes to help, there's still a sliver of a chance."
"..."
At this thought, a trace of hatred flashed in the woman's eyes. "That traitor killed an archbishop and stole quite a few resources from the church!"
"Alright, don't mention him!"
The man shook his head. "We'll capture him sooner or later."
"The urgent matter now is to escort the alliance's resources back. We need this batch of resources!"
"Are we really not going after Chen Shu anymore?" Da Feng Novel Network
"The world is so chaotic, and Huaxia is a major target for fierce beasts. He can't stay out of it. Perhaps without us needing to act, the fierce beasts will kill him."
The man could only think this way, to comfort himself.
In reality, it wasn't that he didn't take Chen Shu seriously, but that the church truly couldn't kill him right now...
The church had also received news about the Shark Emperor pursuing Chen Shu back then.
But what was the result?
The entire Endless Sea couldn't control Chen Shu, and the Salvation Church was also helpless...
"That's true..."
The woman nodded, having to place her hopes on the fierce beasts.
"Summon your team, and also inform Yan to meet us."
According to the church's plan, three King-level Two-star experts would lead teams to transport the resources,
While the King-level Three-star man would act as the overall commander, guarding the rendezvous point.
But with the unexpected emergence of Chen Shu, he was decisive in choosing to consolidate the other two teams to avoid being picked off one by one.
"This way, the efficiency will be too low..."
The woman frowned slightly and said:
"The fierce beasts from the Demon's Lair might be fully encroaching. We might not have a chance to transport the resources by then."
"Whatever happens!"
The man nodded. "If we split up, we'd just be paving the way for Chen Shu. Moreover, if you and Yan were to be in trouble, that would be an unacceptably heavy loss for the church!"
Based on the church's understanding of Chen Shu, he was quite greedy and incredibly audacious, unlikely to give up this batch of resources easily.
"Alright!"
The woman shuddered, thinking of Bak's state of death, and believed her brother's words were indeed reasonable.
...
At this moment, Chen Shu looked up at the sky with a look of surprise, muttering:
"A King-level Three-star Beastmaster?! What a joke!"
Before escaping, he had sensed skill fluctuations from below. The aura emanating from below was much stronger than Bak's contracted spirit.
He had initially thought that the other members of the church would be at most King-level Two-star, but he hadn't expected such a top-tier expert.
No wonder Bak had been so confident then, believing that with reinforcements, he could subdue him.
"Does the Salvation Church have such powerful strength?"
His brow furrowed. According to his estimations, the church would not have more than ten King-level experts, and as for King-level Three-star, perhaps only the Pope was at that level.
And the person who had attacked just now was unlikely to be the Pope, after all, the leader wouldn't personally handle such matters...
