At this moment, Chen Shu had already left the Demon Bat Emperor's territory and began searching for other fierce beast territories.
Last time, he had also ransacked many lord territories, but there was no need to visit them this time, as lords accumulated resources too slowly and likely hadn't recovered their strength yet.
"Another hundreds of billions in poison-attribute materials incoming..." Chen Shu muttered, his heart becoming excited again. Although he couldn't compare to the miserly Knight in terms of wealth, the Bat Emperor was, after all, a legendary creature.
"It's still better to find legendary creatures," Chen Shu looked towards the sky, a trace of thought in his eyes.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he muttered, "That Zi Yue went to hunt down Old Qiao's contracted spirit, which means the other party is also not in their territory..."
"But it's a Forbidden Mist Great Fiend, and it doesn't seem to have the concept of a territory..." Chen Shu rubbed his chin, hesitating for a moment.
"Whatever, I'll go take a look first!" He made up his mind and began to consider Zi Yue's territory location.
"Zi Yue only appears in the sky during the night in the [Demon Nest], but the sky can't be its territory. It's more likely to be on the ground..." In a blink of an eye, Chen Shu, along with his contracted spirits, headed directly west.
Zi Yue's rising location always came from the west, which meant that during other times, Zi Yue was in the western part of the alternate dimension.
...
Time gradually passed. Chen Shu's destination was Zi Yue's location, but he wasn't in a hurry. The fierce beasts he encountered on the way couldn't escape his clutches; they were all thoroughly looted.
Even a mosquito is a piece of meat. Frugality is one of the virtues of a fierce bandit...
In an instant, the news of the Southern Jiang Fierce Bandit's return to the [Demon Nest] spread like wildfire, throughout the entire alternate dimension. However, the situation was chaotic, with the various Beast Emperors busy chasing Old Qiao, and the remaining King-level beasts couldn't subdue Chen Shu, allowing him to roam free...
Three days later, Chen Shu finally arrived at the western location of the alternate dimension. Even so, he hadn't reached the end; the [Demon Nest] was even vaster than he had imagined.
"Hmm?" At this moment, Chen Shu's gaze sharpened, and a hint of vigilance appeared in his eyes. He immediately sensed the unusual nature of this place! The surroundings were incredibly quiet, with not a single beast roar, as if he had entered a desolate realm. The black mist floating in the air had also disappeared, with only a faint purple light flowing, making it incredibly eerie! Most importantly, the purple light not only obscured Chen Shu's vision but also shielded the perception of his contracted spirits.
"Most likely it's Zi Yue's territory..." Chen Shu licked his lips, becoming quite vigilant, but also a little puzzled. The purple light could enhance fierce beasts' abilities, but there wasn't a single fierce beast in sight, which was quite unexpected. Could there be an unknown crisis? He stepped forward step by step, while his rabbit remained highly alert, ready to teleport away at the first sign of danger.
Just then, his gaze shifted, and he saw a large cluster of golden herbs growing quietly in front of him, without any signs of damage.
"As expected, there's good stuff..." Without hesitation, he plucked them all, remaining vigilant at all times. However, the surroundings remained extremely quiet, with no changes occurring.
"This smooth?" His brow furrowed slightly, but he didn't overthink it. Zi Yue had already left, and other fierce beasts naturally wouldn't dare to approach its territory, as it was an ancient Great Fiend. As he continued forward, Chen Shu saw more rare and precious treasures growing on the ground, like weeds that no one cared about.
"They've grown so well?" Chen Shu raised an eyebrow and collected all the materials he encountered. Wasn't this exactly why he came?
As a day passed, Chen Shu ventured deeper. The surrounding purple light was dazzling, as if he had entered another dimension. He himself became quite exhilarated, having collected billions in resources, all of which were gold and King-level materials.
Just then, his expression shifted, and he stopped. Vigilance appeared in his eyes again. He saw that the purple light ahead was resplendent, forming a light screen that made it difficult to look directly at.
"What's in front?" Chen Shu muttered, a look of seriousness in his eyes. But since no crisis had appeared, retreating was out of the question. The two, along with the space rabbit, cautiously stepped into the light screen ahead, without any hindrance.
"Huh?" Chen Shu's vision shifted, and he was instantly moved, staring blankly at the scene before him. He saw various piles of bones stacked like mountains, all belonging to fierce beasts, and judging by their luster, their levels before death were definitely not low, at least gold-level!
"Are they all food?" His gaze flickered, and he considered this possibility. The flesh and blood on them didn't seem to have decayed naturally, but rather seemed to have been consumed.
But the next second, Chen Shu's attention was no longer on the bones, but on what was above them! He saw a small white flower growing on top of the bones, devoid of any brilliance, appearing very ordinary. But Chen Shu's expression trembled, his eyes filled with greed. Another legendary-grade medicinal herb!
Without hesitation, he strode forward and plucked it, then carefully put it away.
"Have I reached the core area?" Chen Shu murmured, his gaze shifting, and he saw more King-level materials. In an instant, his expression turned ecstatic, and he began to plunder in earnest! He hadn't expected Zi Yue to actually have a territory, and such a large amount of high-grade materials growing there.
Half an hour later, Chen Shu was laden with treasures. Zi Yue Great Fiend's wealth was far beyond what the Demon Bat Emperor could compare to.
"With so many treasures, not a single fierce beast dared to come and pick them up?" Chen Shu shook his head, secretly thinking how lucky he was...
Just as he was about to continue his plundering, the ground suddenly trembled!
