"Wait here for me. Clean up the battlefield, and I'll be back shortly."
Chen Shu called out, and with his contracted spirits, he chased directly after the fleeing Fire Monarch. How could he let such a prize slip through his fingers?
Those who remained in place collectively swallowed, gazing at the countless carcasses of ferocious beasts, their minds reeling.
"How… how many did he kill?"
"Tens of thousands, at least, maybe more!"
A Liang took a deep breath and exclaimed, "Is this guy cheating?"
Less than half an hour into the battle, he had killed tens of thousands of ferocious beasts. That was equivalent to killing over ten beasts per second!
"This is no longer mere Gold-level strength."
Wang Sheng sighed, then offered a bitter smile. "Let's clean up the battlefield."
In front of Chen Shu, they had been reduced to mere laborers, only capable of auxiliary tasks…
"Speaking of which, isn't this supposed to be our practical combat class?"
Old Xie scratched his head. "The instructor abandoned us and ran off. Who are we supposed to complain to about this?"
The others shrugged, their gazes calm and unsurprised.
With the "South River Bandit" as their instructor, nothing he did was truly out of the ordinary… After all, what normal instructor would provoke a Gold-level Monarch right from the start?
"Let's just clean the battlefield honestly," Wang Jue shook his head. "Otherwise, are we going to report him?"
Chen Shu's current strength and status were incomparable. In the entire country, only the Old Master could truly discipline him…
At this moment, Chen Shu, utilizing his teleportation skill, rapidly caught up to the Fire Monarch fleeing ahead.
"Blast it directly!"
He eyed the convulsing ground below, choosing not to press further. Even with the advantage, he remained exceptionally cautious.
"Roar!"
The four Huskies' eyes glowed red as they simultaneously spewed four immensely thick fire pillars, piercing through the red sand particles below. A howl of agony followed, and droplets of blood seeped from the ground. Clearly, the Monarch had been hit!
"You're not getting away from me."
Chen Shu grinned, his eyes still guided by his title, continuously locking onto the Monarch's trail. The Fire Octopus Monarch below sensed the impending danger and hastily summoned its minions. The ferocious beasts fleeing nearby, suppressed by bloodline, could only obediently burrow beneath the desert, using their flesh and blood to shield the Monarch from fatal attacks. Unfortunately, the Huskies' skills were too terrifying. Each attack required hundreds of ferocious beasts to block. This method could only delay the Monarch's demise. More importantly, the addition of other ferocious beasts further hindered the Monarch's speed, allowing Chen Shu to catch up more easily.
Several hours passed in a flash. The golden light of the early sun illuminated the land. In the boundless desert, a bloody streak appeared… A desert scorpion pup emerged, sniffing the bloodstains on the ground and greedily licking them. It was the Monarch's scent! The scorpion pup looked towards the bloody streak ahead, its eyes growing extremely excited, convinced its fortune had arrived… Tens of thousands of meters down the bloody line, terrifying roars echoed, accompanied by piercing cries.
"It's really quite tough!"
Chen Shu licked his lips, looking at the ground below with a hint of surprise. The Huskies had unleashed high-level skills for an entire night, and even with the divine skill [Bat Emperor's Mark], the Monarch below had endured. This was mainly because other ferocious beasts had acted as shields, absorbing a significant portion of the attacks. Over the course of the night, tens of thousands more ferocious beasts had perished. At this point, all nearby ferocious beasts had been eliminated, leaving only the solitary Monarch.
*Boom, boom, boom—*
Just as the Huskies were preparing to attack again, twelve flame-wreathed tentacles suddenly emerged from below. However, Chen Shu remained composed, having anticipated this. He immediately instructed his contracted spirits to teleport into Little Yellow's mouth. The tentacles furiously attacked the slime but were easily blocked, unable to even pierce its defenses. Clearly, the Gold-level Monarch before them was already quite weakened.
"Stop struggling."
Chen Shu teleported to the top of Little Yellow, looking down from above. "If you surrender, I won't kill you!"
Hearing this, the Gold-level Monarch's expression jolted. It slowly pulled its head out from the ground. Its head was now bloody and gruesome, and the flames on its body had vanished, its innate talent [Life Fire Body] evidently nullified. Its eyes now held a plea; it had surrendered. It couldn't fight and couldn't escape; it had no other options…
"Quite sensible of you."
Chen Shu stroked his chin. "How about this? Hand over your core materials and the Beast Taming Pearl, and I'll let you go."
The Gold-level Monarch was stunned. It had never heard of such an absurd demand. It was akin to asking a human to hand over all their organs. Was that giving someone a way to live?
*Roar!*
Its mind raged with anger. Realizing it had been tricked, and just as it was about to retreat underground, it felt intense pain. Its body thrashed wildly. Six of its twelve writhing tentacles were instantly severed!
*Puff, puff~~*
Space Rabbit smiled. It was its divine skill, [Spatial Secret Power]. Apart from its teleportation abilities, the damage from this divine skill was not to be underestimated. At this moment, the rabbit pulled out a carrot and began to attack as well.
"Roar, roar, roar—"
Seeing this, the Huskies continued their assault with renewed vigor, their mouths practically worn out… The Fire Monarch struggled back and forth, its head attempting to burrow into the ground, but it was constantly entangled by the Space Rabbit.
*Bang, bang, bang!*
Spatial tearing forces appeared, causing its head to spew blood incessantly, its life force becoming extremely weak.
After a short while, [Bat Toxin Mark] was triggered again! The Fire Monarch struggled even more violently, but to no avail. It could only watch helplessly as it marched towards its demise… After a long pause, it gasped for air, its single remaining eye fixed on Chen Shu, filled with venom and unwillingness. It had imagined dying at the hands of a King-level beast tamer, or perhaps a Beast Emperor, or even a Legendary human… But it had never anticipated that a Gold-level beast tamer could kill it alone… Such a heaven-defying, outrageous situation was more painful than death itself…
"Any last words? If not, you can go ahead and die."
Chen Shu, riding Little Yellow, arrived before the Fire Monarch.
"Roar…"
The Monarch let out a low roar, but as soon as it spoke, its mouth was stuffed with various skills…
*Boom, boom, boom—*
Terrifying energy explosions ensued, blurring its consciousness. It knew it was on its last breath. The human before it muttered, "Well, I can't understand you anyway." Then, its eyes went black, and it lost consciousness. A ferocious beast Monarch that had survived for hundreds of years thus perished! And this was the first time Chen Shu had slain a Gold-level Monarch without relying on miraculous potions!
