Chapter 194: Chapter 182: Beast Clan Wanted Order, The Assault Begins

Chen Cheng brought news that did not surprise Chen Qing. Upon discovering that Cross Star had brought the Gem Observation Team, Chen Qing had already prepared for being wanted.

Bounty Hunters and pirates on the high seas, even those from noble-constituted adventure teams, inevitably carry several warrants on their backs.

In the end, it’s all about interests and face.

The fact that the Beast Clan had only now issued a warrant for her was indeed late.

How long had it been since that incident?

That Chen Qing’s warrant had only now been issued showed the Beast Clan was indeed a bit slow.

There must be some trickery in between.

The next second, Chen Cheng gave Chen Qing the answer.

"There’s been some trouble within the Beast Clan. They haven’t revealed the specifics, but I suspect that the Great Clan Chief of the Beast Clan is gone."

Chen Cheng wasn’t too certain either, after all, the Beast Clan kept their information tightly sealed.

Whether or not it was the Great Clan Chief of the Beast Clan who had died would be known in time.

Chen Qing agreed with Chen Cheng’s guess.

Her and Cross Star’s warrants being issued now could be inferred backwards to mean that the Beast Clan had only just had the time to deal with this matter.

As for why they hadn’t had time before, it was very likely due to internal chaos.

Moreover, it was highly possible that a new Great Clan Chief had already been selected, and they were using her and Cross Star to establish their authority.

This was like announcing to the entire Deep Blue Sea that this is the consequence of offending our Beast Clan; even if we have changed our leader, we’re still not to be trifled with.

Those who wanted to take advantage of the Great Clan Chief’s replacement to create trouble had better weigh their options carefully.

Otherwise, using the identities of the Beast Clan’s juveniles killed by Huan Cai wouldn’t warrant the Beast Clan’s intervention.

Even if there were high-ranking individuals among the Beast Clan, the warrant would only be issued by the tribe the Beast Clan member belonged to.

"We’ll know in a few days."

Chen Qing didn’t dwell on the matter too much; she was already used to being watched by many, and one more Beast Clan didn’t make a difference.

What she didn’t know was how the sudden change of the Great Clan Chief would affect the situation in the Deep Blue Sea Territory.

Chen Cheng was simply giving her a heads-up, so that Chen Qing could be prepared and not get caught by a bunch of riffraff.

The warrant had not yet been widely circulated, which really made one curious about the internal problems of the Beast Clan.

Of course, Chen Qing and Chen Cheng’s most important task at the moment was to take over Rust Island.

Wind Shadow Jade had already surrounded Rust Island completely; any boats or other objects leaving Rust Island would certainly alarm them.

Whether from the sea or the sky, they would be intercepted by Wind Shadow Jade, meaning that unless Rust Island had large space items, they would definitely not receive any support.

A map of the island’s distribution was spread out, and everyone gathered around the virtual sand table to discuss the best points of attack.

Rust Island was similar to Sapphire Island with vast plains and almost no other terrains.

But it was only almost, as Rust Island did have two proper mountains and a lake.

Chen Qing suspected that the war factory was located in one of these three places.

Advancing from the port where Chen Qing and her group were currently located, they would pass through many mechanical recycling shops and mechanical processing plants.

All these shops and factories were natural defensive fortifications belonging to the Rose Family, and they would have to breach those places to enter the Rose Family’s stronghold.

Behind the Rose Family’s stronghold were those two mountains and the lake, and beyond that, a huge garbage mountain isolated by the two mountains.

Further beyond the garbage mountain was the shoreline.

If Chen Qing’s guess was correct, if they attacked from the garbage mountain, they would inevitably face a war factory that could continuously produce war machines.

The defense and attack of the war factory itself were top-notch.

Rust Island was also a tough nut to crack.

After all, it was also a Mechanical Family that had made a name for itself in the Deep Blue Sea.

Relatively speaking, a frontal attack would be more secure, capturing those shops and factories and using them as bases to engage in a protracted war with the Rose Family.

Chen Qing was also a Mechanic and could fully utilize those shops and mechanical factories to stand off against the Rose Family.

Despite the plethora of mechanical shops on Rust Island, they all belonged to the Rose Family, with the difference being whether they were directly or indirectly affiliated.

For instance, Hannah, who had joined hands with the Red Snake Family to target Chen Qing before, was related to the Rose Family.

Whether or not the Rose Family had a hand in her actions, Chen Qing and Chen Cheng were determined to take over Rust Island.
