After a simple sworn brotherhood, the relationships among the group became more harmonious.
“Brother Han, your Huaguo is developing so well. There’s no need for you to defect, is there?”
The woman codenamed Thirteen approached Chen Shu and casually asked.
“Defect?”
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback. “I am a hero in my country. Why would I run away?”
“Uh…”
Thirteen was also surprised. “Then why are you in Black Continent after coming abroad?”
“To scavenge for resources,”
Chen Shu explained. “There are too many powerful individuals in my country, so I can’t get enough resources.”
“Is that so…”
Thirteen seemed to recall something and sighed. “Cherish it. I’m quite envious that you still have a home to return to.”
“Sister Thirteen, your homeland…”
“Alas… it’s long gone…”
Thirteen gazed towards the horizon and murmured, “Speaking of which, my hometown was the first human settlement on Blue Star to be overrun by ferocious beasts…”
“My condolences.” Da Feng Fiction Network
Chen Shu offered a few words of comfort. “As long as you’re alive, there’s hope.”
Thirteen nodded, and then a flicker of hope appeared in her eyes. “Can I… join your Huaguo?”
“Hm?”
Chen Shu was slightly surprised. She was a Rank 2 King, a top-tier fighter.
He didn’t agree immediately. “I can’t make that decision.”
“Then could you help write a letter of recommendation, or perhaps give me a token of your trust?”
Thirteen smiled charmingly. “With your reputation, it would surely be useful.”
“This…”
Chen Shu stroked his chin and then said,
“I don’t have any tokens. How about this: when we return to Huaguo, I’ll introduce you to the old man.”
“…”
A hint of disappointment flickered in Thirteen’s eyes, but she said nothing further.
The group continued their plundering journey.
Three days flew by,
They had already reached the depths of the [Death Altar].
The five of them became more familiar with each other, even revealing their backgrounds, though their truthfulness remained to be verified.
On the surface, they were already a united and friendly Beast Taming group.
At this moment,
Old Jin’s expression suddenly trembled, his eyes showing surprise.
The purple-gold rat on his head shivered, its eyes filled with extreme excitement, pointing towards a distant mountain peak.
Old Jin’s eyes were filled with joy, and he said urgently, “There are legendary materials ahead!”
Instantly, the others were also greatly shaken and became extremely excited.
What excited them was not the legendary materials, but the place where they were stored, which was likely the territory of a Beast Emperor!
They had finally found the location they most wanted to reach!
“The territory of the Death Sky Knight?”
Old Hei muttered, “Brothers, we’re going to have a great harvest!”
The others all swallowed in unison, their eyes filled with greed, like famished wolves.
This was the territory of a legendary creature!
The treasures within could even allow them to advance to higher beast taming ranks!
“Be careful!”
Thirteen, however, had not lost her reason and said calmly, “There might be an ambush.”
Upon hearing this, everyone calmed down.
Even if the legendary creature wasn’t present, it was likely guarded by Rank King fierce beasts.
“We don’t need to teleport. Let’s approach step by step.”
Old Hei, as the eldest brother, had a calm gaze. He also said, “Everyone, please do not leave the range of my contracted spirit!”
At that moment, the bloody phantom emanated a red glow, enveloping everyone.
The surrounding area was filled with a deathly aura. If their presence was revealed, it would be like a bright moon in the night, likely alerting the fierce beasts.
Even without teleporting, the group’s progress was quite fast, and they soon arrived at the summit of the mountain ahead.
And at this moment,
The purple-gold rat squeaked, its gaze intense, looking towards a giant altar in the distance!
Countless giant bones were driven into the ground, stained with dark red blood, constantly exuding a deathly aura. Above, black mist permeated the air, seemingly concealing some unknown terrifying creature, making one’s hair stand on end!
The group’s minds were quickly shocked as they sensed the true nature of the black mist – it was spiritual energy that had almost condensed into substance!
As the altar’s Beast Emperor, it naturally enjoyed the highest grade altar!
“It’s the Beast Emperor’s territory!”
Old Hei’s eyes gleamed with greed, and his body trembled slightly.
The others were the same. Facing the immense resources within their grasp, some were already unable to restrain themselves…
“Is it coming?”
Chen Shu murmured to himself, his heart also filled with anticipation.
In normal times, a Beast Emperor’s territory would be filled with all sorts of rare materials, making it highly desirable.
But now, the Death Sky Knight had transported most of the Black Continent’s resources over, and the wealth within the territory was almost unimaginable.
Trillions? Tens of trillions? Or even more?!
Old Hei swallowed and said, “Second brother, scan for nearby creatures…”
Old Jin nodded and gave instructions to the contracted spirit on his head.
“Squeak squeak…”
The purple-gold rat was instantly enveloped in golden light, its eyes shining like the scorching sun as it began to scan the entire altar.
The bloody phantom beside Old Hei also acted, perfectly concealing their presence.
Ten minutes later,
The purple-gold rat’s skill finally ended. Its golden eyes dimmed, filled with exhaustion.
Old Jin stated with certainty, “It’s safe. No trace of any fierce beasts was found!”
“None?”
Everyone was slightly taken aback, a hint of wariness rising in their hearts.
Logically speaking, such immense wealth would surely be guarded by powerful sentinels.
“That’s also normal.”
Old Hei, seeing everyone’s reaction, smiled and explained,
“The Death Sky Knight is greedy and cowardly, and also suspicious by nature. It wouldn’t let other fierce beasts guard its treasures.”
“But that’s too careless, isn’t it? Aren’t they afraid other fierce beasts might sneak in?”
“Perhaps it has its own methods?”
Old Hei pondered and said, “Fifth brother might need to make a move later.”
Chen Shu nodded. “No problem. Most defenses are useless before me.”
[Spatial Secret Power] had a very high priority, not even blocked by spatial mist. This was why Old Hei had paid him a hefty sum.
