"The first scenario is that the Beast Emperors are trapped by something, and the other scenario is that they are plotting something!"
"Continue!"
"Let's talk about the first situation first!"
Chen Shu coughed and said, "The only thing that can trap the Beast Emperors is the Forbidden Mist Great Fierce! If this is the case, it is quite beneficial to us humans, as it's a dogfight, and we only need to watch the show."
"As for the second situation..."
He stroked his chin and said, "If it's really their conspiracy, then we need to be careful!"
"The various kings we hunted might just be bait thrown out by the Beast Emperors. To pay such a price, their schemes must be significant."
"Mmm..."
The old man nodded. He had indeed considered the second scenario.
The great victory humanity had achieved might just be orchestrated by the Beast Emperors, and the purpose remained unknown...
"Is there another possibility..."
At this moment, Ning Bufan spoke up:
"They are trapped, but not because of the Forbidden Mist, but because of the ancient ruins! After all, it seems that the ruins were built by our ancient humans."
"Mmm..."
The old man pondered, murmuring, "But to trap so many Beast Emperors, it couldn't be an ordinary ruin."
"I think the old principal's situation has a low probability!"
At this moment, Chen Shu spoke up again, refuting: "Actually, we've overlooked something!"
"What?"
Both of them turned to look, with a hint of curiosity on their faces.
"The Beast Emperors trapped now not only include those from [Dragon Abyss], but also those from abroad. Even the shark from Blue Star is missing."
"If they are the ones being schemed against, what ruin could forcibly gather them together? Even the old man couldn't do it. How could a ruin, like a dead object, do it?"
"If a peerless treasure was used as bait, how could humanity's legendary Beast Tamers not sense it?"
"It now seems more likely that many Beast Emperors voluntarily gathered together, plotting something..."
Chen Shu stroked his chin and said solemnly,
"However, their prolonged absence might mean their plan has gone wrong..."
"That makes some sense..."
The old man nodded, agreeing with Chen Shu's viewpoint.
"However, nothing can trap so many Beast Emperors!"
Chen Shu licked his lips and said,
"They will appear sooner or later, and by then, the Beast Emperors will likely have completed their plan!"
"I can confidently say that the plan will be very detrimental to humanity. My advice is to be ready to run for your lives at any time!"
"???"
The old man and Ning Bufan instantly had strange expressions on their faces.
It's humanity's advantage right now, and you're addicted to running away, aren't you...
"Seriously."
Chen Shu rubbed his hands and said, "Old man, with your years of experience, you must have already prepared a fallback."
"No."
The old man glanced at him indifferently and said,
"You can retreat, but what about the other ordinary people? That's over a billion people!"
"..."
Chen Shu fell silent instantly. Even with the Star Ruins he controlled, it couldn't accommodate so many people.
"Don't think about running away!"
The old man's gaze was deep, and his tone was calm as he said, "Beast Tamers will always stand in front of ordinary people!"
"Alright, actually, the situation isn't that terrible."
Chen Shu shrugged and said, "Old man, I'm only asking this because I'm worried about the safety of other ordinary people."
"You better be!"
The old man looked at him and said, "By the way, kid, in this current situation, what do you think we should proactively do?"
"You're asking me?"
Chen Shu was stunned, his eyes filled with astonishment.
"Don't underestimate yourself."
The old man nodded, "Although you are young, you are cunning. And based on your experiences over the years, you appear impulsive on the surface, but you're always the one who benefits!"
"Uh... Is this a compliment?"
Chen Shu scratched his head, momentarily confused.
"Of course!"
The old man smiled and said, "Alright, tell me your thoughts. Don't feel pressured. I'm just listening, and I might not necessarily adopt them."
"Okay."
Chen Shu nodded and said, "The situation with the fierce beasts is currently unknown, but overall, the Beast Emperors are absent, which is a tremendous advantage!"
"The immediate priorities are to gather resources for future war consumption! And for efficiency, our gaze should not be limited to our own country. The异空间 (dimensional spaces) in international waters are also targets, and we can also try to hunt the kings within them!"
The old man nodded, "Yes, with the extra manpower now, this plan can be executed."
"Continue."
"Besides the 异空间, I believe the other factions that were broken into are also our targets!"
Chen Shu said greedily, "From what I know, there are no human factions near us anymore; they've all been overrun by fierce beasts. The resources within couldn't have all been taken by the fierce beasts. We can dispatch experts in resource exploration to specifically locate this batch of supplies."
Even a small human faction would have stored a significant amount of resources over the years.
"Secondly, it's about the defense lines!"
Chen Shu said, "With the Beast Emperors absent now, the fierce beasts wouldn't dare to approach us. We can take this opportunity to lay down various deadly traps, primarily in the coastal waters near the mainland and around Dragon Abyss City!"
If a great battle were to erupt, the Shark Emperor would undoubtedly lead the fierce beasts to attack, forming an inner and outer pincer attack with the Dragon Abyss Beast Emperors.
As for the other 异空间, due to the two hunting operations, many powerful fierce beasts have perished, and they no longer pose a fatal threat.
"As for the third..."
Chen Shu stroked his chin and said, "Allocate a large amount of resources to cultivate Beast Tamers!"
"Whether it's the intermediate forces or the top-tier King-level forces, we are actually far inferior to the fierce beasts. Now that we have plundered a large amount of resources, it's only natural to put them to good use."
"However, this might not be enough to reverse the situation. I actually have an ultimate plan!"
"If it succeeds, humanity will turn the tide and sound the horn of counter-attack!"
"Oh? Say it."
"Cough cough..."
Chen Shu licked his lips and said,
"Pour all resources into me. As long as I can reach Legendary, I'll be unstoppable!"
"..."
The old man and Ning Bufan were both stunned, seemingly contemplating Chen Shu's words.
After a while, Ning Bufan, with a strange smile, said,
"No, you scoundrel, your ambition is quite grand, isn't it?"
"Ah? What do you mean?"
"You're revealing your true intentions now, aren't you?"
"..."
