Chapter 1816: The Retirement Life of the Bad Beast Group
Inside the training room of the Flowing Silver!
Jiangnan closed his eyes, holding the Godslayer Blade, its scabbard touching the ground!
His entire body was inverted, balancing on the tip of the scabbard as the only support point in the training room!
Wang Gang beside him couldn't even crawl anymore, staring at Jiangnan in shock!
How long had it been? He was still holding on?
Was Boss Nan's stamina bar truly bottomless?
Just then, Ai Jiang's voice prompt came through!
"Report, Master. We've arrived near the target space node!"
Jiangnan's eyes snapped open: (･`◡･´O) "Finally here? Everyone, prepare to enter the Void Sea!"
As he spoke, his figure vanished instantly!
Qian Benying's eyes also sparkled with excitement. Was this boring, overly intense journey finally over?
Even she had been following along with the training these days, reaching the peak of Starlight, on the verge of breaking through to Dao Heaven at any moment!
And Jiangnan had rushed all the way to Starlight Four Stars!
He had thought he could at least match Wang Gang and not lose face so badly.
But who knew Wang Gang was already at Starlight Five...
The hatch opened, and Jiangnan twisted his neck, grinning!
(˶‾᷄⁻̫‾᷅˵) "You broken loach, just wash your neck and wait for your grandpa me!"
"However you made me flee back then, I'll return it all this time!"
"Void Black Hole!"
What Jiangnan was about to do next was tear open the dimensional gap and charge into the Void Sea!
...
Inside the Void Sea, spiritual energy was abundant, white clouds drifted, and all was peaceful!
Huge floating islands drifted everywhere!
In the sea of clouds, schools of Void Koi swam carefree, swaying their bodies!
With a flick of their tails, the entire school teleported elsewhere.
Above the fish school, at the edge of the largest floating island, sat a row of spirit beasts!
It was the original Bad Beast Group!
The Golden-Maned Baboon and the Black Wolf Big Sister were sitting on the cliff edge, each holding a tender green bamboo pole with a crystal-clear silk thread tied to the tip!
At the end of the thread hung a palm-sized, plump white silkworm baby, struggling nonstop!
The Golden-Maned Baboon scratched his head:
₍⁽*･᷅ᴗ̵̍･᷄⁾₎ "Haha, you really have to use Wo Ni Silkworms to catch fish! Never come back empty-handed!"
The Black Wolf Big Sister shook her iiOiiO:
(๑◔ꈊ◔ิ) "Use the bait sparingly. There aren't many Wo Ni Silkworms left in the mud pit. We've almost caught them all!"
"You need to think about sustainable development, you know?"
The Wo Ni Silkworms hanging below the cliff cried loudly, but could only try their best to wriggle their fat bodies to attract the koi's attention!
If they were eaten by a koi, there was still a chance to live, but if they didn't obey, they would definitely be devoured alive by Brother Goose and Brother Bird!
In the entire Void Sea, no beast was their match!
The Wo Ni Silkworm silently vowed: When I evolve into a Wo Ni Butterfly, I will definitely amaze all of you!
The Void White Goose's eyes lit up:
₍๑ಡʚಡ๑₎ "Honk honk honk～ Got one! I'll lift!"
With both white wings gripping the main pole, he pulled up hard!
A fat Void Koi swallowed the silkworm baby in one gulp, then twisted and teleported away, even opening a Space Wormhole!
But the silk thread didn't break, no matter if it was teleported or pulled into the wormhole!
With a "crack," the bamboo pole snapped!
The Void White Goose flew into a rage, tossing away the pole:
꒰ঌ₍๑▼ʚ▼๑₎໒꒱ "D*mn duck, still dare to run? I'll eat you alive!"
Flapping his wings, he teleported and chased after the fish!
The Soaring Parrot rolled his eyes:
₍๑꒪ัʚ꒪ั๑₎ "Brother Goose's temper just isn't suited for fishing."
The Golden-Maned Gorilla looked nostalgic, raising his hand to make a shooting gesture:
₍⁽｡･᷄～･᷅⁾₎ "Ah～ I miss the old days of beating rabbits. It's just that now there are no rabbits to beat, and there aren't any decent entertainment activities!"
"Fishing and the like are too boring, d*mn it!"
The Azure Mantis ground his mandibles:
(ꐦへ°᷄ɷ°᷅)へ "It's all that damn human's fault. If he hadn't packed up all the rabbits and taken an island away..."
"We wouldn't have fallen to fishing! If I ever run into him again, I, Ah Tang, will definitely cut him down with my blade!"
"But if we're talking about beating rabbits, it's really not as fun as cutting che che. You guys just haven't tried it. That pleasure of slicing through a che che with one blade is absolutely amazing!"
"I just don't know if I'll ever get to cut one again in my lifetime."
Just then, the Black Wolf Big Sister urged:
ʕو❛益❛ʔو "Boss! A fish is on the line! Pull it in quick! It'll get away soon!"
All the beasts' gazes converged on the Yexu Longqiu!
He was still three meters long, unchanged, with glazed scales shining under the sun!
A single glazed horn on his head, he held a fishing rod with one fin and propped his chin with the other!
His two dragon whiskers fluttered in the wind, his eyes gazing into the vast sea of clouds, unfocused!
The Soaring Parrot tested the waters:
₍๑◔ʚ◔ิ๑₎ "B-Big Brother? There's a fish on the line!"
But the Yexu Longqiu looked deeply melancholic:
(*ꆤ‸ꆤ) "I suppose I'm tired, tired in every way. This sadness comes for no reason..."
"White clouds drift, grass spreads everywhere, I silently watch this fish school. This fish is mine, that fish is also mine. What point is there in fishing or not fishing?"
"They say a fish's memory lasts only seven seconds. I recognize this one—I've caught it 121 times. I caught it this time, and I caught it last time too. It's probably a stupid fish by now, right?"
His depression overflowed, and a long sigh spoke of unspeakable sorrow.
All the bad beasts were dumbfounded. How did the boss get depressed by fishing?
That's not right!
The Soaring Parrot chuckled dryly:
₍๑￢ʚ￢๑₎ "Boss, why are you doing this? Isn't life good? You're at Dao Heaven Seven Stars, your level grows every day!"
"In this Void Sea, you're practically the local emperor. What's there to worry about? If it were me, I'd be thrilled!"
The Yexu Longqiu sighed:
(◞‸◟) "It's precisely because I'm too strong that I'm worried. Good days? How many good days are left?"
"So what if I'm unmatched in the Void Sea? What am I in the grand scheme?"
"You all need to hold back your levels. Don't break through to Dao Heaven lightly, understand?"
He could be taken at any moment to have his spirit pearl harvested and used as a Star Gate drive source!
He had been suppressing his level for a long time, but could no longer hold it back, so he simply broke through to Dao Heaven and went wild leveling up.
But what use was it?
The Azure Mantis saw the boss getting even more depressed and quickly said:
(へ･᷅ɷ･᷄)へ "Sly Fox, you're clever with ideas. Say something to cheer up Big Brother?"
A pure white nine-tailed fox beside him was also fishing!
He spoke up: (◕ˇﻌˇ◕) "What do you know? The boss is too unmatched, lonely at the top, lacking rivals. That's why he's down and has no drive!"
"If he had a worthy opponent, the boss would perk up immediately. This is the loneliness of invincibility!"
The Yexu Longqiu sighed again, shook his head, dropped the bamboo pole, and was about to leave!
Just then, a violent spatial fluctuation came, scaring away the fish school!
It instantly drew the attention of all bad beasts!
The next moment, a thousand-meter rift tore open in the void, churning endless clouds!
It even bit off a chunk of the floating island!
A traversal shuttle suddenly burst out of the dimensional gap!
The Yexu Longqiu's eyes widened in terror!
Had this day finally come? Was it his time to die?
"Don't just stand there! Run, d*mn it! They've come to dig out our tumors!"
But the next second, the hatch opened!
Jiangnan's gaze immediately locked with the Yexu Longqiu's, meeting in the air, clashing!
(๑ᵒ̴̶̷口ᵒ̴̶̷)━☆━(ꆤ益ꆤ*)
The Yexu Longqiu froze. What the hell?
Not a Bose body?
A human? Why did this kid look so familiar?
Then the White Goose screamed:
₍๑ಠʚಠ๑₎ "Gah! It's the human who pulled away the island!"
As the saying goes, enemies meet, eyes blaze with hatred. Jiangnan had ravaged the entire Void Sea back then!
How could the bad beasts not recognize him?
The Yexu Longqiu instantly flew into a rage: "Stop running, d*mn it! Let's kill him!"
As he spoke, his spiritual energy fluctuated violently, the pressure of Dao Heaven Seven Stars spreading fiercely!
Jiangnan's eyes bulged:
(Ő口Ő๑) "Hiss～ Such good luck? We ran into him right away?"
What were they doing gathered here? Not beating rabbits anymore, but fishing instead?
Qian Benying saw this group of Starlight beasts and immediately freaked out!
Holy crap, what kind of spirit ruin was this?!
When Jiangnan was at Platinum, he actually came here? How did he even survive?!
"Jiangnan? They..."
Jiangnan: !!!
"Don't talk! Scatter! This is the Yexu Longqiu!"
The next instant, before anyone could teleport away, the Yexu Longqiu's scales instantly stood on end, the glazed horn on his head extended!
His figure stretched infinitely in everyone's sight!
Jiangnan's eyes widened. What the hell? No wind-up? He didn't need to shrink his body anymore?
The Yexu Longqiu had evolved too? He formed a Warp Bubble directly from his three-meter body and charged?
What kind of power would that be?
A person would be smashed to pieces!
In an instant, Jiangnan had already deployed two pairs of Space Wormholes at the fastest speed!
One pair protected Mila and Lan!
On the other side, the Yexu Longqiu, with blood-red eyes, had vanished from sight!
"Boom!"
The next moment, his figure suddenly appeared on the other side of the sea of clouds!
Jiangnan looked down at himself. His entire body had been pierced straight through, horizontally severed at the waist!
Qian Benying was covered in blood, looking down in disbelief at her half-shattered body, not even feeling the pain yet!
Wang Gang's body was obliterated; he died without even knowing how!
Mila and Lan were fine, protected by the wormholes. The Warp Bubble passed through the wormholes and didn't harm them!
Even the traversal shuttle had a huge hole punched through it!
This was a new shuttle! Everything happened too fast!
The Yexu Longqiu teleported back several times, the corners of his mouth nearly reaching the sky!
(๑¯ิ৺¯ิ) "Food that delivers itself to the door—why wouldn't I eat it? It's time to settle old scores!"
"Killing you is much more fun than fishing. I hope you can last a little longer and let me enjoy myself!"
Jiangnan grinned: "What a jackpot to start with. Coincidentally, I came to kill you too! The stronger you are, the more excited I get!"
Mila pressed her small lips together: "Time Stop Light Ball!"
"Single Target Time Reversal! I revert, revert, revert!"
Golden beams of light descended from the sky, restoring the injuries of Jiangnan and the others. Even the shattered Wang Gang was pulled back together!
The traversal shuttle was also fully restored!
Wang Gang panicked: (๑థ┏﹏┓థ) "I tell you, Boss Nan, I just saw an old lady with no bowl, carrying a pot, trying to feed me soup! She, she, she..."
Jiangnan licked his lips: "Don't panic. Today, you'll probably have to see her another eight or ten times!"
"It's fine. You'll get familiar with her after a few times!"
Wang Gang: ???
