"???"
Dali fell silent for a moment, then said, "You seem a bit off..."
"Really."
"Don't bullshit me! Do you have some kind of megalophobia?"
Dali made a contemptuous gesture, but after Chen Shu's commotion, his fear had subsided considerably.
The two walked cautiously on the Black Continent, not daring to approach the center immediately, deciding to assess the situation first.
Half an hour later,
The two reached the center of the continent. It was covered in swamps and poisonous forests, inhabited by all sorts of snakes, insects, ants, and rats. Even in peacetime, this was not a very habitable place.
However, the only good news was that the pervasive aura of death had significantly cooled the temperature, making it no longer as hot as before...
"Is there no one left?"
Chen Shu murmured, even suspecting that the entire continent had become a dead land.
All along, the various factions had paid no attention to the Black Continent, and they didn't even know when it had fallen.
As for the ferocious beasts of the [Death Altar], they were also quite cautious, not being too high-profile, but developing slowly.
"If you want to see if there's anyone, I can help."
Dali pointed to the black notebook, which contained a special recipe:
[Supreme Spirit Steamed Meat: Can attract contracted spirits within a hundred kilometers. Main ingredients: flesh and blood of contracted spirits of Golden grade and above, Pseudo-Spirit Flower...]
"This..."
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow, not expecting a recipe targeting humans.
"Won't it attract ferocious beasts?"
"No!"
Dali shook his head and said, "It's only effective on contracted spirits. Other creatures can't smell it."
"Alright! We can try it!"
The Space Rabbit took out a large piece of flesh and blood from a Golden-grade contracted spirit, along with several medicinal herbs.
Chen Shu had swept through fourteen camps in the fourteen major camps of the Northern Spirit Seven Kingdoms and had obtained quite a few corpses of contracted spirits.
"Chen Pi, make some more money."
Dali smiled and said, "Later, we'll buy some King-grade contracted spirit flesh and blood from the black market. Old Xin's recipes really have miraculous effects."
"Okay."
Chen Shu nodded and said, "You don't seem resistant at all. This is using contracted spirits as ingredients."
"What's there to resist?"
Dali shrugged and said casually:
"My journey is the end of a spirit chef. Nothing else matters!"
His thinking was not narrow-minded. He could say that as long as the goal was achieved, it was enough.
As for other things, who cared?
"Nothing else matters?"
Chen Shu murmured, a bitter smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. He asked, "Then what about me?"
"???"
Dali's expression froze for a moment, but then he regained his seriousness, even saying with a hint of affection:
"Except for you!"
"..."
The two shivered simultaneously...
Chen Shu curled his lips and said, "Are you being that perverted?"
"You're the one who's perverted first!"
Dali said firmly, "This is what I call controlling perversion with perversion!"
After saying that, he ignored Chen Pi and began to focus on cooking the Supreme Spirit Steamed Meat. Da Feng Novel Network
Although this dish was quite attractive, it actually had no effect other than luring the target.
In no time at all,
Dali had cooked it. Although it was his first time, his level was already there, so he naturally grasped it quickly.
"They're coming!"
Dali licked his lips and added the secret ingredients, instantly spreading the aroma.
As time passed,
The two moved forward, but they still hadn't encountered anyone, as if they had truly arrived in a desolate land.
"They were all killed?"
Chen Shu frowned, a premonition already forming in his heart.
He was beginning to understand why, during the escort mission back then, no King-grade beast tamers had gone to Black Continent to retrieve their compatriots. They had probably all been wiped out.
Feeling the deathly silence before them, anger surged in their hearts.
Just then, the black grass beside them suddenly moved, and a black shadow shot out like an arrow, incredibly fast.
But in the next second, an invisible restrictive force appeared, pinning it in place.
"Huh?"
Chen Shu was slightly stunned and looked at the black shadow before him. It was actually a human!
"No, it's not human?"
He immediately dismissed the thought, surprise in his eyes.
The human, frozen in mid-air, looked furious, with a strong physique, holding a black javelin, dressed in the attire of a native of the Black Continent.
But what was most unusual was that his eyes were entirely white, with no pupils at all, making him appear quite bizarre.
"There's no human aura on him..."
He murmured, "And his eyes are chaotic, with no semblance of consciousness, like a puppet."
Following that, he had an idea and had the Space Rabbit release [Space Secret Power].
A spatial imprint appeared on the opponent's body, and in the next second, it transformed into a blade, slicing him in half!
"As expected, it's not human anymore..."
Chen Shu looked at the remains before him and reached a conclusion.
The spatial blade could not attack humans, but it could cut through the creature before him, clearly indicating that the opponent had transformed into a beast-like existence.
"Is this its skill?"
He looked at the giant knight phantom in the sky. It was likely that the humans on the Black Continent had either fled or been turned into puppets, similar to living dead, obeying only the Altar Beast Emperor.
"What a bizarre ability, I need to be more careful..."
Chen Shu was cautious, feeling as if he were touching a tiger's backside.
However, no matter how bizarre the opponent's ability was, as long as it was not related to space, Chen Shu had nothing to fear. After all, he had [Space Secret Power] to protect his life.
Just as the two had moved forward only about ten meters, a wisp of black energy suddenly flew out from the remains behind them.
The black energy drifted leisurely, not revealing any aura, and silently approached Chen Shu's head.
"Huh?"
Chen Shu's heart instinctively had a premonition. The crisis of life and death made the hairs on his body stand on end, and in an instant, he teleported away from his original position.
He arrived a hundred meters away and looked at the black energy before him, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Boom!
Er Ha spat out a fireball, instantly incinerating it.
"That's really sneaky!"
Chen Shu murmured, "As a Beast Emperor, you're so shameless?"
He hadn't expected that there would be a killing intent hidden within the body of the living dead. Fortunately, his ruthless bandit instincts were not for nothing.
"I'll strip you naked when I get the chance!"
Chen Shu turned his head, but his expression froze the next second.
The terrifying phantom in the sky had turned its head. Its blood-red eyes were looking down at Chen Shu and Dali, as if they were ants, filled with unspeakable heavenly might!
"It saw me?!"
Chen Shu's heart leaped in alarm, and in the next second, he teleported away with Dali, arriving outside the Black Continent.
"Eh?"
In the center of the continent, a black knight about ten meters tall let out a slightly surprised sound.
"It ran away?"
It spoke human language and murmured, "Are little mice this vigilant?"
It had originally intended to use a skill to kill them, but their reaction was too fast. It was clear they were experts...
