179: Yuan Bengshan, you weren't supposed to die today...

It was Su Chen.

He raised his head and looked at the arrogant and insufferably haughty Guard Captain. In those obsidian-like eyes, there was not a single ripple, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with him.

"Money, we will pay."

He spoke indifferently, his voice crisp yet carrying an unquestionable tone. He immediately signaled to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng's chest heaved violently, but he still strictly executed the order, preparing to pay that astronomical, insulting "fee."

This scene caused the already boisterous laughter around them to instantly reach its peak!

Mockery and contempt in various languages shot towards them like poisonous arrows.

"Hahaha! As expected, a bunch of spineless cowards!"

"I thought there would be some fun to watch, but they just chickened out like that?"

"Tsk, what a waste of such a large build (referring to Enuoke), to actually listen to a human brat?"

"Look! There really is a kid in their group! The one who gave the order just now was him!"

"It's hilarious! Are these humans here to be comedians? Bringing a giant bear cub and a human cub—are they here to participate in the beast emperor inheritance or to play house?!"

Just as the jeering laughter reached its peak, a more arrogant, playful, and cruel voice shattered the clamor like a heavy hammer:

"Oh? Did the harbor get a new batch of toys today?"

The onlookers were separated by an invisible force, and a huge shadow loomed over them.

Sky-Rending Giant Ape Young Lord Yuan Bengshan, eight meters tall and draped in magnificent animal skins inlaid with gems and bone ornaments, walked over like a moving mountain.

His thick arms were wrapped around the enchanting Princess Rose of the Human-Faced Spider Clan, whose eight compound eyes shimmered with cold and playful light.

Yuan Bengshan looked down at Su Chen and his group, his gaze like that of someone examining lowly insects beneath his feet.

"Young Lord Bengshan! Princess Rose!"

The previous Guard Captain immediately put on an extremely fawning face, almost prostrating himself on the ground to salute.

Yuan Bengshan didn't even look at the captain. His gaze, filled with a cruel smile, first fell on the massive Enuoke, and he grinned to reveal stark white fangs:

"The trash bear clan of the Ice Plains? I heard your clan is almost extinct in the extreme cold. What, can't find food, so you ran here to find a better burial ground for yourself?"

His gaze then swept over Su Chen and Chen Feng, as well as the fifty silent Shenxia Warriors behind them, and he sneered:

"And you brought a group of human slaves? How pathetic. Rose, look at how they're shivering; don't they look like a bunch of tadpoles that can't find their mother? Haha!"

Rose snuggled up to Yuan Bengshan, letting out a laugh that was as melodious as silver bells but carried a poisonous chill:

"Brother Bengshan, they look like they aren't even qualified to be appetizers for my cute children."

Yuan Bengshan proudly raised his huge head, his voice like rolling thunder, carrying an unquestionable tone of command:

"Listen, little bugs! In this Beast Skeleton Harbor, my Sky-Splitting Giant Ape Clan calls the shots! Now, kneel down for me and lick the fragments of those trash badges on the ground, piece by piece! Then, get out of my sight immediately!"

He paused, his huge fists colliding to emit a dull, booming sound, and threatened:

"Otherwise, I don't mind stretching my muscles and crushing all you trash into meatballs to feed my precious pets!"

The war mammoth behind him, as huge as a small mountain, timely raised its long trunk, letting out a deafening roar filled with violent aura, its heavy hooves crushing the ground, showcasing terrifying power.

"Hehe,"

Yuan Bengshan added contemptuously at the end, his gaze sweeping over Su Chen, "With your kind of trash, you dare to covet the beast emperor inheritance?! It's absolutely ridiculous!"

Facing this extreme humiliation that layered on top of itself and trampled on their dignity, the fifty Shenxia Warriors had their muscles tensed, their nails digging deeply into their palms, flames of humiliation burning in their eyes, and Qi surging crazily within their bodies, almost breaking through the dam of reason!

But they still stood there like steel nails, waiting for that one single voice.

In an instant, all eyes focused uniformly on the tiny figure at the very front of the team, who was only one meter tall.

Lan Xin, in the back, turned pale. She hurriedly stepped forward, lowered her voice, and advised in a tone bordering on pleading:

"Your Highness! If you don't endure small things, you will spoil great plans! You must not be impulsive! Think of our plan!"

However, facing Lan Xin's dissuasion, Su Chen seemed not to hear it.

He slowly, step by step, paced toward Yuan Bengshan.

He lowered his head, murmuring in a voice only he could hear. There was not a hint of anger in that voice, only a coldness that saw through the world:

"Endure?"

"In this life, with the System on me, I possess a Talent that transcends the rules. If... with such a start, I still need to swallow my anger..."

He slowly raised his head, his gaze calmly looking at the mountain-like giant ape in front of him.

"...then I, as someone who has experienced Rebirth, would be living too cowardly."

While murmuring, Su Chen had already walked through the crowd and arrived in front of Yuan Bengshan.

He slightly tilted up that young, tender face.

One meter versus eight meters.

That tiny figure, under the giant ape's shadow, was as small as an exquisite porcelain doll, as if the other party could crush him with a single breath.

Watching Yuan Bengshan's pupils filled with playfulness and cruelty, Su Chen's small mouth curled into a cold and sinister arc that was completely at odds with his age.

His voice was not loud, yet it strangely penetrated all the noise, clearly echoing in the ears of every bystander:

"Yuan Bengshan, originally, you didn't have to die today."

He paused, his tone as flat as if he were stating an established fact.

"But you, you insist on courting death."

"..."

A moment of absolute silence descended on the scene.

Everyone was stunned, as if their brains couldn't process this absurd scene.

The next second, BOOM————!!! A deafening laughter, ten times more intense than before, almost overturning the harbor, erupted!

"Hahahaha!! What did I hear?! This baby is threatening Young Lord Bengshan?!"

"Is he still not weaned, talking in his sleep?!"

"It's hilarious! This is the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life! A human cub threatening the Young Lord of the Sky-Splitting Giant Ape Clan?!"

Rose, on the side, laughed until she was doubled over, her body shaking as she swayed, her eight appendages trembling slightly:

"Giggles... Brother Bengshan, did you hear that? You've been threatened by this little guy? Otherwise... why don't you hurry up and apologize to him? I'm so worried he'll be scared to tears in the next second..."

The muscles on Yuan Bengshan's face twitched, and then he revealed an extremely absurd yet murderous, ferocious smile. He lowered his huge head, leaned close to Su Chen, and the heavy, fishy stench almost engulfed Su Chen:

"Little bastard, do you know that I can crush you into... with just one finger?"
