Master of Monster Synthesis-Chapter 320 - 207 A New Storm Has Emerged, Light Giant (Two-in-One)_3

Seeing Hillbagon "singing at the top of its lungs," Qin Shou curled his finger, and the Space Gate appeared under Hillbagon’s feet.

"Awwnn..."

As expected, Hillbagon, unable to fly, fell into the System Space, its joy turning into tragedy.

Then, Groot emerged from the ground, his large eyes full of concern, as his ten fingers emanated Life Energy to heal Qin Shou’s injuries.

Yet, even as Life Energy surged into him, Qin Shou still felt weak.

He furrowed his brows—what exactly was the Light Energy Converter consuming?

It wasn’t Star Power, nor physical strength. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Shaking his head, Qin Shou summoned his creatures, ordering them to move the corpses of the three Nightmare-level Monsters into the System Space.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Greedy Snake bit Qin Shou, tossed him onto its back, spread its wings, and took off, disappearing from the desolate island.

Not long after, several Unbreakable Realm Beast God Masters landed on the island.

"Look, it’s spider silk. It seems to belong to a Nightmare-level spider monster..."

"And these broken red strands... they must belong to Liu Liang of the Demonic Group!"

"It makes sense. Those two cooled Magma Lakes—only Liu Liang from the Demonic Group appears in this region."

"But what about the light we saw earlier?"

"Not sure, but there must’ve been a battle between Unbreakable Realm powers here."

"Could it be that Demonic Group agents are stirring up trouble on our Zeus Group’s development territories?"

"Very likely. Someone in the Demonic Group might be cultivating merfolk beasts to provoke the Merfolk tribes against our Zeus Group."

"Then this place is..."

"Perhaps they quarreled over dividing spoils and started fighting. After all, the resources in those two development regions are quite valuable..."

...

The sun set in the west.

On the endless horizon, the silhouette of Greedy Snake gradually emerged.

Basking in the last rays of the sunset, Qin Shou slowly sat up.

After three hours, he finally regained a shred of strength.

Holding up the faintly glowing Divine Light Stick, Qin Shou smiled wryly.

Hopefully, he’d never have to use this thing again—it was too punishing.

Still, this battle had yielded three Nightmare-level Monster corpses and obtained Speed Cells, Giant Strength Cells, and Flame Cells from three individuals—it wasn’t a bad haul.

Once back, I won’t be so reckless again.

Promise!

Oh, right—the resources from Zeus Group’s development region in the Purple Blossom Archipelago should be even richer than the previous two, shouldn’t they?

...

Night fell, and a bright moon rose above the sea.

Under the moonlight, the ocean glimmered, and the brightly lit Golden Islands were faintly visible in the distance.

"Zzzt zzzt..."

Violet Thunder Star Power shot out from the archipelago, soon meeting the airborne Greedy Snake.

Bathed in violet Star Power, Qin Shou could make out Su Liang’s Big Black Face in the sky.

"Qin Shou, were you the one responsible for what happened at Zeus Group’s development site?" Su Liang’s face was stern.

Qin Shou looked puzzled. "Mr. Su, what happened with Zeus Group?"

Examining Qin Shou’s genuinely confused expression, Su Liang asked, "You really don’t know?"

"Of course not. I just took a little ’harvest’ from some nearby waters, that’s all," Qin Shou replied with a carefree shrug and smile.

"Looting" was something he planned to hide for as long as possible, especially since it involved the Demonic Group’s chairman and the suspected existence of the Ultimate Spine-eating Gu.

Speaking of which, Qin Shou was still hesitant about the Ultimate Spine-eating Gu.

With current human technology, even the Perfect Spine-eating Gu couldn’t be detected, let alone the far more mysterious Ultimate Spine-eating Gu.

Without solid proof, recklessly reporting the matter to the Beast Cultivation Main City could backfire on Qin Shou.

No matter the truth, the other side, with their power and influence, could easily frame him.

After all, Qin Shou’s own situation was abnormal enough, and he couldn’t explain it.

With the principle of "better safe than sorry," Qin Shou knew he’d be branded as a Spine-eating Gu host and killed before the chairman.

It was said that the Demonic Group’s chairman had reached the Unbreakable Realm Ninth Star back in the Old Era. Achieving this would be effortless for someone like that.

Qin Long might not be able—and perhaps wouldn’t even be willing—to protect him.

Qin Shou couldn’t take the risk.

And with three Demonic Group Unbreakable Realm individuals dead under mysterious circumstances, as long as he acted as if nothing had happened, he might still face suspicion and probing, but with caution, he could bide his time until he surged back.

At this thought, Qin Shou flashed a brilliant smile.

"Mr. Su, thanks for your help this time. When we’re back, I’ll gift you a few sets of battle armor."
