Chapter 189 My pets will definitely have a blast with me!
"Gulu lulu..."
Water Bubble then continued!
"Wait... isn't this a bit too overbearing?"
The owner of the Cold Jellyfish was a middle-aged man. "We're all teammates on the same island! Everyone clearly put in effort tonight, so why should all the benefits go to you alone?"
The young man holding the Ice Crystal Shrimp chimed in as well, "Exactly! Yours is only a D-rank pet; it won't gain much strength even if it eats. Why not let us have some? Look at my Ice Crystal Shrimp, it's B-rank. If it could eat a bit, it might even level up!"
Their teammates were numerous; the two teams combined had twenty to thirty people!
Everyone was incensed—
"If our pets get stronger, we'll have a better chance of winning when we fight other islands tomorrow!"
"What use is it even if that D-rank pet of yours eats this whole pile?"
"Why not let us have it? If we all win together, it's better for you, for me, and for everyone!"
More and more voices joined in. Bolstered by each other, those few individuals spoke with increasing self-righteousness, unable to contain themselves.
A boy wearing glasses squeezed to the front. "We're all teammates. Don't forget the official message: mutual killing is forbidden on the island. What are you doing pointing a knife at a pet? If you really dare to slash it, the officials will punish you!"
The car owners of those water-type pets glanced at each other, their backs straightening a bit.
Right, they couldn't kill each other.
No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't make a move.
This was a rule, a fixed rule of the Road to Survival.
"That's right, official regulations state no mutual killing on the island!"
"Who do you think you're scaring with that knife?"
"We're talking things through properly, so why are you pulling out a knife?"
Chen Yu nodded and suddenly smiled. "That's a good reminder. Your pets are also water-type, so they might steal Water Bubble's resources. That simply won't do..."
"?"
"What are you..."
*Slash!*
A flash of blade light!!!
It sliced in from the head of the Ice Crystal Shrimp and came out through the tail—clean and efficient, like cutting through a block of tofu!
The Ice Crystal Shrimp's body split down the middle, and translucent blue fluid splattered all over the ground!
Its tentacles were still twitching, but it had already been cut into two sections!
Its team stood frozen in place, staring at the two segments of remains still wriggling slightly on the ground...
"Are you kidding me! You... you actually dared to slash it!"
"Even if you're not afraid of the Eye of Peace, points are still very important!"
"He's clearly one of our own, yet he struck with lethal intent!"
Chen Yu didn't look at them, instead walking in another direction.
The middle-aged man picked up his Cold Jellyfish and kept backing away. "Hey, I was just joking earlier, I..."
"Toxic Sting!!!"
At the critical moment!
The middle-aged man fought for his life, disregarding everything else!
The Cold Jellyfish sprang from his arms. Purple light spots gathered on the foremost tentacle, condensing into a long, thin, purple-glowing Toxic Sting that shot toward Chen Yu!
The distance was very short; an ordinary person wouldn't be able to dodge it at all!!!
"Chen Yu! Watch out!"
"Brother Chen Yu!"
"Xiao Yu!"
Within the Baby Bus team, the women cried out in alarm!
But in the next second!
Water Bubble suddenly sprang up from nowhere, stopped in mid-air, and abruptly expanded!
Like a balloon being inflated, it swelled from the size of a ball to the size of a well-mouth in an instant!
That purple Toxic Sting hit its body like a needle pricking into jelly, and then... nothing happened!
Wang Mengmeng covered her mouth. "Whoa, Water Bubble just became that big?!"
Li Mengyao was also shocked. "Did its skill improve that quickly?"
Zhang Wanyue spoke helplessly, "Just look at how much it's eaten in a single night."
*Splatter!*
The Cold Jellyfish was also slashed!
Two water-type pets were gone in the blink of an eye!
Everyone was dumbfounded, and then they all looked toward the horizon!
Didn't the rules of the Road to Survival say the Eye of Peace hangs high above?!
Where was the Eye of Peace?!
Dammit, in this pitch-black sky, where was there any sign of the Eye of Peace?!
Could it be that the big eyeball went to sleep?!
Captain Zhou Ting, the leader of the Tianyang Convoy, explained helplessly, "It seems many people have misunderstood. You can scroll back through the official message history; it only announced a strict ban on killing fellow islanders, but that doesn't include pets..."
For a moment, everyone realized.
Standing behind Pei Yuanheng, Cheng Minglang whispered, "...This is too ruthless. Did this guy notice that information from the very beginning?"
Pei Yuanheng felt like he was seeing someone in a new light. "Not only is he bloodthirsty, but he's also good at exploiting loopholes."
Standing at the back of the crowd, Zhang Tianlang took it all in. "This guy... he really treats this place like his own home. He does whatever he wants, and no one can stop him!"
Huangmao whispered, "Boss, since the seaweed has been wiped out, should we go back to mining building materials? Staying here is just... staying here."
Zhang Tianlang waved his hand. "Let's go, let's go. Stay away from him. Nothing good ever happens when you're with him."
He turned to walk out of the crowd, with Huangmao and several lackeys quickly following.
"Who said you could leave?"
Chen Yu's voice reached their ears.
Zhang Tianlang: "Huh?"
He frowned, his tone laced with impatience. "The seaweed is all killed. Why stay here if we're not leaving?"
Chen Yu's gaze swept over the people in the crowd who were picking up their pets and preparing to depart.
"You can leave, but the pets stay."
The crowd went silent for a moment.
Then it erupted—
"What?! Leave the pets? On what grounds?"
"Those are our pets! You say leave them and we just leave them?"
"Yeah, don't push people too far!"
Chen Yu questioned indifferently, "Who protected your pets tonight? Who stood at the very front slashing the seaweed?"
No one answered.
Because everyone knew the answer; he was definitely the one who contributed the most.
Chen Yu spoke as if it were only natural, "The target of this seaweed is the pets! Tonight was just the first wave. There will be a second and third wave later. What will you use to defend?"
At this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Phew, so that's how it is. I almost misunderstood your Baby Bus!"
"Yes, you should have said so earlier. So Brother Chen Yu is doing this for our Seventh Island!"
"You're willing to help us guard our pets?!"
"Then thank you so much! We can mine building materials with peace of mind now!"
Saying this, everyone felt relieved enough to place their pets on the ground and gather around again.
Just now, they almost thought Chen Yu had gone mad.
Disregarding the island's ranking and directly falling out with everyone.
It seemed he also realized that the Seventh Island, having lost two pets, couldn't afford any more mishaps.
But this was also a good thing.
With him keeping watch, everyone could mine building materials to their heart's content and raise their pet levels.
"Mhm, you can leave your pets with me without any worries!"
"Go and mine building materials with peace of mind!"
"And then, don't forget to hand over seventy percent of the materials mined daily."
"Don't worry, the pets will definitely have a blast here with me!"
