Ch. 262 - The Power of Bandit Brand Laxative

New Novel - Read Here

Xu Xingxing tore off a rabbit leg for his Mutant Thunderbird as well, and spoke up:

"Chen Pi, you're at Black Iron now. You need to manage your contract spirits' diet."

The Beast Taming Space alone could no longer sustain the energy consumption of Black Iron contract spirits.

They needed to come out and eat every day now.

A proper nutritional balance and quality food could even enhance a contract spirit's strength.

And this, in fact, was the very reason the Spirit Chef profession existed!

Chen Shu nodded, mentally calculating. "Gotta get Dali to whip up some nutritional meal plans later."

"Here, you eat some too!"

Xie Sunan tore off a piece of rabbit meat and fed a bite to the Winged Caterpillar on his shoulder.

"That thing eats meat?!"

Chen Shu's eyes bulged. It was utterly absurd.

Xie Sunan curled his lip. "Obviously. No meat, no joy — ever heard of that?!"

Before he even finished speaking, the Winged Caterpillar's body lurched backward and collapsed straight to the ground.

It began convulsing wildly, as if it had been electrocuted...

"You're sure about that 'no meat, no joy'..."

Chen Shu and Xu Xingxing turned in unison, staring at the caterpillar's strange behavior in complete bafflement.

Xie Sunan furrowed his brow. "The hell — is there poison in this meat?!"

"No!"

The next instant, he shot to his feet, panic in his eyes.

"Powerful fierce beasts are closing in!"

The Winged Caterpillar finally stopped trembling, its eyes glowing with a faint green light as it scanned the surroundings nonstop.

"More than one!"

Chen Shu and Xu Xingxing were equally on guard now, fully aware of the danger.

The Mutant Thunderbird flew over. The three immediately stepped onto its back, breathing a momentary sigh of relief.

The beasts in the 【Lieyang Hills】 basically couldn't catch up to a Mutant Thunderbird.

"Did the Lord beasts... team up?"

Chen Shu rubbed his chin, faintly guessing what was going on.

Over the past few days, the three of them had been slaughtering common beasts en masse. Any survivors would have definitely tipped off their species' Lords.

Black Iron Lords weren't stupid — they'd clearly realized how strong the trio was. Teaming up was perfectly reasonable.

"We fighting?"

The two of them looked at Chen Shu. He was the main combat force.

"Fight my ass! Little Yellow can handle one at most!"

Chen Shu shook his head, directly putting the Slime away while ordering the Husky onto the bird's back.

The Golden Slime was strong, but it still hadn't taken any Black Iron-grade potions. Its combat power capped out at a Black Iron One-Star Lord at best.

Xie Sunan spoke up. "Don't we still have the Dumb Husky?"

"Are you joking?"

Chen Shu raised an eyebrow and pointed at the Husky at his feet.

The Husky was shaking its head furiously, ripping the rabbit meat back and forth, completely oblivious to the approaching crisis.

"Never mind..."

Both of them twitched and immediately opted for a strategic retreat.

"Wait!"

Chen Shu's eyes darted around, and he had the Mutant Thunderbird land again.

Xie Sunan asked, "What are you doing?"

Chen Shu didn't answer. He rummaged through his backpack for a while before finally producing a potion bottle.

Inside was black powder — clearly not the kind of thing that looked legit.

"Holy crap! Bro, don't be rash! We don't have to bother picking a fight with a bunch of beasts!"

Xie Sunan and Xu Xingxing both jolted in alarm and immediately tried to talk him down.

"It's just a normal potion. What are you thinking?!"

Chen Shu explained. It was precisely the Bandit Brand Laxative he'd specially concocted.

"You? Own a normal potion?!"

Both stared wide-eyed. Every single potion Chen Shu had ever pulled out was enough to shatter the upper limits of pharmacology.

"Relax. I know what I'm doing!"

Chen Shu directly sliced open the four remaining roasted rabbits on the grill and stuffed all the powder inside.

"Hope this does something..."

Chen Shu offered a quick prayer, then said, "Old Xie, mark the rabbit meat!"

Xie Sunan nodded. The Winged Caterpillar's wings flapped once, and four specks of light instantly vanished into the roasted rabbits.

The three took to the skies once more, fleeing the trouble spot.

"Are those three... poisoning them?"

From a distance, Du Ming had long since detected the Lords approaching, but as the proctor, he wasn't allowed to interfere in any way.

"Well, it does fit your style! Perfectly reasonable!"

At that very moment, one kilometer away.

A giant bird with golden light wings was approaching in absolute silence, its eyes brimming with icy killing intent.

It was none other than a Black Iron Lord — the Light-Wing Bird!

The same was happening from three other directions, each with a Black Iron Lord closing in.

And further out, the four great beast hordes had formed an encirclement, intent on wiping out Chen Shu's group in one fell swoop.

Clearly, the mass slaughter had made the beasts hate them to the marrow of their bones.

Five minutes later.

The four Black Iron Lords made their domineering entrance — even the Light-Wing Bird's wings were already gleaming with the radiance of a readied skill.

However, the scene was completely empty. Nothing remained... except for a barbecue grill.

"Roar!"

The Black Iron Lords realized their plan had failed and couldn't help but roar at the sky.

The Light-Wing Bird Lord beat its wings once, its gaze settling on the roasted rabbits on the grill.

At least take some spoils of war, right?

Its beak opened wide, intending to swallow all four roasted rabbits in one go.

Bang!

A red leopard snarled and immediately smacked it flying, its massive claws gesturing pointedly.

We finally get a little spoils of war, and you're trying to hog it all?!

The leopard swallowed one roasted rabbit and strode off, leaving without a backward glance.

The other two Black Iron Lords saw this and each ate a rabbit as well.

The Light-Wing Bird whimpered once, then furiously devoured the last remaining rabbit.

If you didn't know any better, you'd think the four Lords had dropped by for a picnic...

...

"Holy crap, Chen Shu — they actually ate them!"

Xie Sunan looked over. Through the Winged Caterpillar, he could sense the light specks moving rapidly.

"Those Lords aren't gonna get blown straight into meat paste, are they?"

Xu Xingxing asked. Swallowing a nuke — wasn't that just asking to die?

"Are you colorblind?! Nukes are grey! What else do I have to say?!"

Chen Shu shook his head. "Still, they're gonna suffer for a while."

He wouldn't dare use Explosion Potion. What if the temperature inside their bodies wasn't high enough to ignite it? Wouldn't that just be a total waste?

"Tonight, we move! Get ready! Get ready!"

Chen Shu made a hand signal, practically itching with anticipation to see the power of the Bandit Brand Laxative.

With Xie Sunan's tracking ability, the three pressed onward, tailing one of the Black Iron Lords.

The Light-Wing Bird Lord regrouped with its flock.

It let out a crisp cry, leading hundreds of Light-Wing Birds back to their territory.

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle~"

The Light-Wing Bird Lord froze on the spot. What was happening?

Its stomach was churning nonstop!

The gurgling grew louder and louder, practically rumbling like thunder.

The many Light-Wing Birds all turned to look, expressions full of delight. Had the Lord learned yet another new skill?!

"Scree!"

It let out a flustered cry, its body shuddering — an overwhelming urge to shit was surging forth!

To preserve its lordly dignity, it ordered the flock to stay put and found itself a secluded spot.

In the distance, the Light-Wing Bird Lord wore an expression of bliss, feeling as if everything was rushing forth in a single torrential sweep.

It was a Black Iron Lord now — its digestive system was practically immune to all poisons.

The last time it'd had diarrhea like this was back in its youth, when it had accidentally eaten a poison fruit from an alternate dimension. That year, it had shat so hard the world turned upside down.

Who could have imagined it would happen again today?!

"Do humans... actually eat this kind of food?"

The Light-Wing Bird Lord's eyes were filled with deep bewilderment. Even an iron stomach couldn't handle this stuff, right?

A moment later, it rubbed its sore butt against the grass, spread its wings, and soared back to its flock.

It figured one round would be the end of it.

But its nightmare had only just begun...
