Chapter 12: Sneak Attack Weapon: Urine Bag

"Let's get out of here."

Without hesitation, Chen Shu and Zhang Dalie left, not wanting to linger any longer.

Suddenly, a booming sound reverberated through the black market, shaking the surroundings.

Chen Shu looked up and saw two contract beasts appearing on a distant street, locked in fierce combat.

One was a large red bird with flaming claws, while the other was a towering shadow standing at two meters tall, solid despite its black color.

The red bird, despite having the advantage of flight, was being suppressed.

The shadow extended a black line, like a rope, binding the firebird.

Not far away, Xu Xiaoyu's expression turned grim. She didn't expect a crisis to occur in the black market.

The red bird was her contract beast, a Flame Phoenix rated as an A-level creature.

"Someone is openly releasing contract beasts causing trouble. The Spirit Control Bureau will arrive soon," someone speculated, causing others to discuss and distance themselves from that street.

Although there were high-level Spirit Handlers in the black market, they clearly didn't want to get involved.

To subdue the handler controlling the shadow, who had reached the ninth level, a Spirit Handler of Black Iron rank would be necessary.

But Black Iron rank was already considered strong and qualified to form a Spirit Beast team and explore other dimensions. Such individuals wouldn't easily appear in the black market.

Although Zhang Dalie was just an ordinary person, both his parents were Black Iron-level Spirit Handlers. Otherwise, given his personality, he would have been beaten up long ago.

"That's Xu Xiaoyu's contract beast," Zhang Dalie said, looking at the Flame Phoenix. Its awakening had caused a sensation throughout the entire grade.

"Chen Pi, what do you say? It seems it's time for us to take action."

"Indeed, it's time for us to act!"

Chen Shu's face turned serious, his fists slightly clenched. The two of them exchanged a glance and nodded at each other.

In the next moment, they sprinted away, heading straight for the nearest southern exit.

With their ability to navigate the world for many years, their skill in escaping was invaluable.

Seeing that the battle between the two contract beasts was about to spread, there was no better time to run.

But as they were running with all their might, a sudden option appeared in Chen Shu's eyes.

[Option 1: Release the golden slime and forcefully defeat the shadow creature. Completion Reward: Increase in Spirit Handler level by one.]

[Option 2: Ignore and escape during the chaos. Completion Reward: Increase in the slime's Charge skill by one.]

[Option 3: Capture the thief first and target the owner of the shadow creature directly. Completion Reward: 5% enhancement in all attributes of the golden slime! Note: Receive a system prompt to lock its position.]

[Option 4: Shout loudly and call on the crowd to come and watch. Completion Reward: Obtain the title "Non-Human!" Equipped effect: Increase personal damage against non-human spirits by 20%.]

Chen Shu's expression trembled. The title "Non-Human" instantly piqued his interest.

"One more step and I'll beat you up!"

Chen Shu abruptly halted his steps, deciding to rescue Xu Xiaoyu.

Before the words had even settled, he pulled out a large bag from his backpack.

"You carry a freaking urine bag with you?!" Zhang Dalie exclaimed, his face filled with shock.

He thought he was invincible, but he never expected someone to be even fiercer than him.

"Quit the nonsense and come at me!"

Suddenly, Chen Shu's field of vision changed. At the end of the street, a person emitted a crimson glow.

Spirit Handlers below the Black Iron level would not easily reveal themselves. They could only control one contract beast, making them vulnerable.

Only Black Iron-level Spirit Handlers would awaken a second contract beast, providing additional protection.

A bald, muscular man stood at the side of the street, calmly manipulating the shadow creature.

An evil smile adorned his face, instantly marking him as the antagonist. He was only missing the words "I'm a bad guy!" on his forehead.

To distract the opponent, Chen Shu released the golden slime in advance. Although he was only a second-level Spirit Handler, through multiple selections, the slime had grown considerably stronger, standing at nearly half a meter tall, resembling a mobile blob.

"Gurgle!" The slime opened its large eyes and bounced in place.

Under Chen Shu's command, the golden slime approached the battlefield.

The man engulfed in the red glow suddenly had a blurred vision, as a massive yellow object mysteriously appeared and crashed into the shadow creature.

"What the hell, where did that excrement come from?!" His heart skipped a beat as he quickly realized that a Spirit Handler had intervened.

The slime expanded, reaching a height of almost two meters, displaying an imposing presence.

While the man was distracted, the two high school students silently approached.

Chen Shu and Zhang Dalie possessed superior stealth abilities compared to professionals; it was evident they had engaged in these kinds of activities frequently.

Less than a meter away from the man, the two couldn't help but grin, emitting a faint chuckle.

The man seemed to sense something and suddenly turned around.

But in an instant, a bag came flying, obscuring his vision.

Immediately after, a barrage of punches followed.

Liu Wuyi couldn't help but shout, feeling a buzzing sensation in his head, and even losing some clarity of mind.

Chen Shu and Zhang Dalie unleashed a relentless assault, similar to brutes.

If the opponent were to control a contract beast and attack them, their lives would be in danger.

Both of them showed no mercy. Despite being high school students, their stature was towering. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to sit in the back row of the classroom for an extended period.

"Stop hitting him, damn it! Stop!"

Liu Wuyi struggled incessantly, feeling incredibly unlucky to be suddenly ambushed.

"Zheng Yi, the class leader of Class Three Spirit Handlers, let's knock him out first," said one of them.

"Wang Teng, the top-ranked student from Third High School, won't we get into trouble if we do this?" the other one questioned.

"We can't worry about that now."

The two shouted loudly, harmonizing their voices, immediately betraying Zheng Yi and Wang Teng.

This person dared to make a move in the black market, clearly not a good person.

Onlookers were speechless. Who addresses someone like that?

At this moment, Liu Wuyi's mind began to grow hazy, and suddenly, he experienced an intense pain, causing him to faint.

With no host controlling it, the shadow creature instantly returned to the spirit space.

Chen Shu also stored the slime in the spirit space.

Xu Xiaoyu below was taken aback, not expecting the crisis to be resolved so suddenly.

"Could it be that a powerful individual intervened?"

Xu Xiaoyu wondered, only to see another crowd gathering in a different direction.

She put away the flame bird and approached the crowd.

Two students were relentlessly beating someone on the ground,

The person remained motionless, with a urine bag covering his head.

"It's you guys?"

Xu Xiaoyu recognized Chen Shu and the other person.

"Xiaoyu, you arrived just in time. It's this criminal who dared to attack you. But don't worry, I've already subdued him," Chen Shu spoke, occasionally kicking the person.

"You dealt with him?"

Xu Xiaoyu was dumbfounded. She thought it was some powerful individual who had intervened, but it turned out to be these two idiots?
