The Eye of the Void, the Blood Moon hung high in the night sky.
As Jincheng Min merged into the shadows of the trees and left, a patch of darkness slowly spread apart in the woods a kilometer away, revealing the figures of Chen Chu and Qing Qiu Ming Hui.
Watching Jincheng Min's figure disappear in the distance, Qing Qiu Ming Hui revealed a strong killing intent in his eyes: "Brother Chu, why not take him down?"
Chen Chu narrowed his eyes slightly: "It would alert the snake by striking the grass."
In fact, Jincheng Min had been very cautious. The rotting woods he was in had a special force field that could shield against the demon qi leakage caused by activating the stone disk.
However, he was now targeted by Chen Chu.
With a terrifying physique, Chen Chu possessed unmatched strength, but his hearing, sense of smell, and vision had also become incredibly sharp.
Especially after his physique broke through ten thousand with the 'dragon' attribute, his senses appeared almost mystical, with hearing that could detect without the wind.
Thus, even at a distance of a kilometer, he clearly heard the conversation between Jincheng Min and that shadow.
At the same time, the countless roars, growls, crawls, and gasps of exotic beasts coming from a range of over ten kilometers also made Chen Chu's mind feel a bit swollen.
There was no way around it; the amount of information he needed to process instantaneously was too much.
Chen Chu focused his perception and let out a slight breath: "Let's go, Brother Qing Qiu. We need to find a place with a signal to call for help; after all, that's a demon king."
As he spoke, Chen Chu slowly pressed his palm down, causing the air below to vibrate.
Beneath the branches at their feet, a giant beast, forty meters long and over twenty meters tall, covered in gray scales and resembling a giant elephant, displayed fear in its eyes.
Boom!
Under Chen Chu's unmatched force, this giant beast suppressed by the heavenly power had no time to roar before its head suddenly collapsed and exploded.
In an instant, countless blood and flesh splattered, mixed with some white substances, raining down over a hundred-meter radius, creating a horrifying scene.
Boom!
The massive body of the beast fell to the ground, shaking the grass and trees and causing the ground to tremble.
Chen Chu and his companion had already vanished in a flash, soon arriving at a small hill not far from the mining area: "There’s a signal here."
On Qing Qiu Ming Hui's wrist, the intelligent watch flickered, indicating it had received a signal.
However, the intelligent watch couldn’t communicate here, so Qing Qiu Ming Hui took out a palm-sized, phone-like golden item from his storage space and dialed a number to contact the Lord of the Morning.
Alright, it was a mythical version of a phone.
As the golden phone flickered with golden light, half the figure of a silver-haired youth projected before them, looking at Qing Qiu Ming Hui and Chen Chu with a serious expression.
"Ming Hui, did something happen on your side?"
Qing Qiu Ming Hui replied sternly: "Lord of the Morning, the deputy master of the Tianlan Mining Area, Jincheng Min, is a traitor. Just now, Brother Chu and I witnessed him contacting the infernal demon race."
The silver-haired youth's eyes narrowed sharply: "Little Chu's whereabouts have been exposed."
Qing Qiu Ming Hui nodded: "Yes."
The silver-haired youth turned to Chen Chu: "Little Chu, what do you think?"
Chen Chu smiled: "The infernal demon race told Jincheng Min to meet in one star time, as a guide; it seems they are waiting for an important figure to arrive."
"When the time comes, we will counter their plan and take them all down." As he said this, Chen Chu's gaze turned cold.
It was highly likely the opposing side would send a demon king to assassinate him, but so what? He had killed mythical level beings before and even wiped out an ordinary civilization.
In fact, Chen Chu could have taken down Jincheng Min earlier and then ambushed at the rendezvous point.
