You Actually Want to Keep It All for Yourself?!

Military Frontline Position, Command Room.

Meng Nanxi looked at Qu Shi with a worried expression.

"Teacher Qu, have you found Jiang Chuan?"

"The divers dispatched half an hour ago entered the Magnolia River, but they did not find Jiang Chuan's body or weapon."

Qu Shi replied, "At present, we believe Jiang Chuan is still alive. We just do not know where the Magnolia River swept him away to. I have just issued orders to send ten drones along the Magnolia River to search for him."

"Isn't ten drones a little too few?" Meng Nanxi's dark eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Ten drones are quite a lot." A hearty voice came from outside the door.

An elderly man in dark golden armor, with graying hair and bronze skin, looking to be around fifty, walked into the Command Room.

"Uncle Wang."

"Deputy Army Commander Wang."

Meng Nanxi and Qu Shi both spoke when they saw the old man enter.

Wang Mi smiled. "The Magnolia River flows from west to east. We only need to pilot the drones eastward. Normally, deploying two or three drones would be enough to find that kid Jiang Chuan."

"Sending out ten drones now is already doubling the firepower!"

Rumble rumble rumble!!!

At that moment, a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar erupted.

"Not good!"

Wang Mi's expression changed drastically. He transformed into a streak of five-colored light and shot straight out of the Command Room.

Meng Nanxi immediately saw the White Peacock King unleash its might on the large screen in the Command Room.

"The White Peacock King is pursuing Chu Shengjie! It's flying along the Magnolia River toward the Frontline Position!" a staff officer in the Command Room shouted.

"What?! Along the Magnolia River!"

Meng Nanxi's face turned pale. "Jiang Chuan!"

Roar!

In the basin, Jiang Chuan held his great lance and examined the blackish-gray object crawling out of the cave entrance.

The blackish-gray object looked like an iron pillar cast from pig iron. Under the sunlight, it gave off a dim gleam.

But upon closer inspection, how was it an iron pillar? It was clearly a gigantic earthworm!

Roar!

Roar!

Roar!

One enormous earthworm after another kept burrowing out of the cave entrance.

Their blackish-gray bodies packed the ground, casting vast shadows and exuding crushing pressure.

Then, the blackish-gray earthworms came smashing down at Jiang Chuan like thick iron whips, intending to pulp him into mincemeat.

Disordered Blade!

Jiang Chuan shouted. Thirty-seven streams of Divine Sense became thirty-seven blade edges, slashing upward at the gigantic earthworms.

Splurt! Splurt! Splurt!

The earthworms' bodies were continuously cleaved apart, their blackish-gray blood spraying like rain.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

After their bodies fell to the ground, the earthworms did not die. Their severed halves rapidly healed and regrew into two gigantic earthworms each, still roaring as they surged toward Jiang Chuan.

"What terrifying regenerative ability!"

Even as Jiang Chuan sighed, pitch-black spiritual power entwined with silver-white lightning flew from his body. Like a dark cloud flickering with thunder, it circled around him.

Wind Rises Thunder Clouds Surge!

Azure lightning descended from the sky, like the wrath sent down by the gods of legend, striking the gigantic earthworms one after another.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Before the lightning, the earthworms' regenerative ability became completely useless. As thunderbolts fell, the earthworms were directly reduced to blackish-gray dust.

"Luckily, I cultivated Wrath of the Firmament to completion and can control Thunder Transcendent Factors. Otherwise, with so many earthworms, they could have worn me to death through sheer exhaustion."

Watching the earthworms still rush at him wave after wave, Jiang Chuan felt increasingly grateful toward Top Supporter Sister Meng the Rich.

After exterminating every last earthworm, Jiang Chuan walked over to the Earth Dragon Flowers.

Unlike ordinary flowers, Earth Dragon Flowers did not give off a fragrance. Instead, they emitted an earthy, fishy smell.

The earthy, fishy odor from more than ten Earth Dragon Flowers made Jiang Chuan frown slightly.

Having gone over twelve hours without food, Jiang Chuan felt hunger rise from his stomach and directly yanked up an Earth Dragon Flower.

"It's Spirit Medicine, after all. It smells a little strange, but it shouldn't taste too bad, right?"

Muttering to himself, Jiang Chuan took a bite of the Earth Dragon Flower.

Bitter!

So bitter!

Jiang Chuan's expression changed sharply. His eyes filled with agony as his body trembled without stop.

"Can't spit it out! Absolutely can't spit it out! This stuff is worth a fortune!"

Relying on his desire for money and his fine virtue of thriftiness, Jiang Chuan forcibly swallowed the entire Earth Dragon Flower.

After finishing it, Jiang Chuan charged straight toward the stream. Not caring whether there were bacteria in the water, he plunged his head in and gulped it down.

Once the bitter taste in his mouth faded, Jiang Chuan returned to the Earth Dragon Flowers.

"How is this stuff even more bitter than Chinese medicine?!"

As he spoke, Jiang Chuan took off the Backpack on his back and opened it. He uprooted the Earth Dragon Flowers one by one and stuffed them inside.

After packing away all the Earth Dragon Flowers, Jiang Chuan picked up his great lance and prepared to leave the basin when he heard a loud crow.

"Cluck! Cluck!"

Jiang Chuan raised his head toward the sound and saw a Big Rooster descending from the sky.

The Big Rooster stood nearly ten meters tall, its feathers dazzlingly vibrant.

Its comb was red as fire, exceptionally eye-catching against the Azure Sky Dome, like the symbol of a king.

Its eyes were bright and spirited, revealing anger with startlingly human-like emotion.

The Big Rooster landed in front of Jiang Chuan and stared at him.

"You hateful human, you actually dared to wipe out the Gray Earthworm clan!"

"I waited so long for the Sparrow Demon King to be hunted down and flee this place, sneaking over to taste Gray Earthworm flesh. Who would have thought you, a human, would wipe out their entire clan!"

"You can talk?"

Surprise appeared on Jiang Chuan's face before he quickly realized, "No, it's Divine Sense. You're communicating with me through Divine Sense, directly conveying the thoughts in your heart."

"Human! You must give me satisfactory compensation today, or I'll kill you!" The Big Rooster flapped its wings, whipping up a violent gale.

"Brother Chicken, that's not right. You can eat Gray Earthworms, but I, Jiang Chuan, can't kill them?"

Wariness flickered in Jiang Chuan's eyes. He had seen many demonic beasts.

The strongest were naturally Seven Realm Demon Kings such as the White Peacock Demon King and the Sparrow Demon King.

Of the ones he had personally encountered, the most intelligent and strongest was undoubtedly the Big Rooster before him!

Everyone knew that the stronger a demonic beast was, the larger its body and the higher its intelligence!

Jiang Chuan estimated that even if this Big Rooster had not reached the Sixth Realm, it could not be far off.

At the very least, the giant ape that had pursued him was nowhere near its match.

"I can't give you compensation, but I have a deal I want to make with you."

Just as the Big Rooster was about to fly into a rage, Jiang Chuan's words piqued its interest.

"What deal?"

"The Sparrow Demon King was hunted down by human experts and fled this place. You only had your eyes on its food, yet forgot that its most precious treasures are all in its Cave Dwelling."

Anticipation appeared in Jiang Chuan's eyes.

The treasures the Immortal Slaughter Divine Cult had taken from the White Peacock Demon King's Cave Dwelling were only one-fifth of the total, yet they had greatly increased his strength. Not only had he exchanged for a weapon, he had also cultivated Wrath of the Firmament to completion.

The Sparrow Demon King's Cave Dwelling was closer to where the Immortal Light had descended. It was bound to contain even more treasures!

Perhaps by looting the Sparrow Demon King's Cave Dwelling, he could directly obtain treasures that would let him cultivate to the Fifth Realm, or even the Sixth or Seventh Realm!

Even if demonic beasts guarded the Sparrow Demon King's Cave Dwelling, Jiang Chuan felt that with the Spirit Confusing Smoke in his hand and the Big Rooster, they would be enough to deal with the guards!

"I propose that we join forces and loot the Sparrow Demon King's Cave Dwelling."

"Right! How did I forget that?!" The Big Rooster said excitedly. "Human, thanks for the reminder. I'll go loot the Sparrow Demon King's Cave Dwelling right now!"

Jiang Chuan: ???

No, this wasn't how he imagined it going!

As Jiang Chuan watched, the Big Rooster flapped its wings and shot into the sky.

"You fucking bastard, you actually want to keep it all for yourself?!"

Jiang Chuan cursed loudly, then gripped his great lance and gave chase after the Big Rooster flying through the sky.

No matter what, the Sparrow Demon King's Cave Dwelling had to have a share with the surname Jiang!
