Chapter 268 - 268 The Gathering Place Of Exotic Desert Beasts
This Flame Owl was too overpowering, it cremated the exotic beast within moments. It was simply invincible!
It should be known that the Flame Owl’s fire was even more overpowering than a Fire Dragon’s. It was a flame that was extremely rare and only possessed by certain fire-type beasts. Even Ninth Revolution Saint would have to suffer in the face of this technique.
And the Flame Owl could even refine this “firepower” into a pill, making it even more terrifying!
When Shen Fei thought of the Flame Owl from the past, he could not help but sigh. ‘This guy is simply too powerful now.’
“Phew!” Shen Fei let out an exhale.
“Shen Fei, we haven’t killed enough. We’re still far from our goal,” Aloy said. “I suggest we continue hunting other exotic beasts,” she said. “Let’s rest for a while before hunting other exotic beasts.”
“Alright.” Shen Fei nodded lightly. After that, he continued on further with Aloy.
Soon after, Shen Fei had killed a few more exotic beasts by capturing and incinerating them with the Flame Owl. Before he knew it, two hours had passed.
“Huh?” At this moment, Shen Fei suddenly stopped. He furrowed his brows and gazed at what was ahead of them. “There seems to be a gathering place for exotic beasts up ahead.”
Hearing this, Aloy was stunned. She then asked in confusion, “That place is a desert, isn’t it? How could there be exotic beasts?”
Shen Fei laughed, “That kind of assumption only tells us that the number of desert-inhabiting exotic beasts is getting smaller.”
“Then, shall we take a look?” Aloy asked.
“Let’s go.”
Then, the two of them first closed in on a sandy beach, which was not far away.
Not long after, Aloy suddenly frowned. “Huh?”
In the grass in front of them, there was a stone tablet with a few lines of words written on it: [This is the gathering place of exotic desert beasts!]
Aloy was dumbfounded. Exotic desert beasts… A gathering place of exotic desert beasts… Here?! This was simply too outrageous!
Shen Fei, on the other hand, indifferently glanced at the words on the stone tablet. His eyes narrowed slightly, as though there was something that had piqued his interest.
Aloy saw the change in his expression and could not help but ask, “Shen Fei, what’s wrong?”
“Look at the words on the stone tablet.” Shen Fei pointed at the stone tablet and said, “Those words are unusual. It does not look like they were lined with gold or silver, but with cinnabar. However, the strange thing is that the words on it do not have any signs of damage from time. What’s going on?”
Hearing this, Aloy carefully read the words on the stone tablet, and also became a little confused.
What was written on the stone tablet was indeed [the gathering place of desert beasts], but why was there no damage to the place or the tablet?
At this moment, Shen Fei’s gaze fell on a row of words on the stone tablet. At the bottom left corner of the stone tablet, there were a few lines of words: [A gathering place for exotic beasts!]
“Huh?” Shen Fei could not help but feel surprised by these words.
“A gathering place for exotic beasts… Could it be that the exotic beasts we’ve killed are not the ordinary kind, but were actually exotic desert beasts?” Shen Fei muttered to himself for a moment, then said, “Looks like we’re quite lucky to have encountered a group of exotic beasts here. This time, we’ll be able to harvest quite a few of them.”
Aloy blinked, but her face showed her agreement with Shen Fei’s words. The two of them then continued deeper into the sand-covered region. Along the way, they encountered more waves of exotic beasts.
These exotic beasts were very powerful, and had all reached the higher Count-rank, maybe even the higher Emperor-rank.
As for the two cultivators, they did end up suffering a few heavy injuries. Luckily, they still managed to kill the groups of exotic beasts and obtained a veritable pile of crystal coins and a battle manual as loot.
As the number of their kills increased, the two of them became even more wary, because the increase in numbers also represented the arrival of danger.
Moreover, they did not dare use their true Qi attacks when they encountered exotic beasts. If their Qi was tracked, it could mean death in their next encounter.
Fortunately, the two of them were strong, and they did not encounter anything they could not handle.
But they were also human. Soon, Shen Fei and Aloy grew extremely tired, especially Aloy. After a series of battles, the true Qi in her body had long been exhausted, and she could not continue fighting. But Shen Fei could still go on.
Shen Fei muttered, “This won’t do. We need to find a place to rest, and recover our true Qi before we continue hunting.”
When Aloy heard this, she nodded slowly.
The two of them found a cave and went inside to cultivate. Aloy had even set up a soundproof barrier in the cave to prevent them from being disturbed. Afterwards, she ate a healing pill, then sat cross-legged on the ground.
……
Occasionally, the howls of wolves could be heard in this desolate desert. Not long after, Aloy opened her eyes. They flickered, as if she was pondering something.
“Phew!” With a majestic aura, she turned into a stream of light and disappeared.
……
Meanwhile, on the other side of the cave, Shen Fei sat cross-legged in the cave with his eyes closed. Soon after, his eyes suddenly snapped open, and they were filled with a bright light.
“Phew!” Shen Fei exhaled and his eyes were then filled with confidence.
Then, a vibration came from his body, it was an extremely violent aura! This was caused by the five amethyst stones Shen Fei had somehow put inside his body.
Moreover, following Shen Fei’s brief breakthrough, the Profound Truths of the five elements gradually emerged inside him. He could clearly feel that the circulation of elemental power in his body was much smoother than before. The speed at which the elements circulated was several times faster than before. As such, Shen Fei’s strength had also received a huge boost.
As time passed, he and Aloy finished their cultivation and prepared to leave. However, before they could walk out, a series of angry roars came.
In the next second, they spotted a huge Yellow-haired Wild Boar running toward them from a distance. Following behind it were dozens of exotic beasts.
When Shen Fei saw this, a grave expression appeared on his face.
The Yellow-haired Wild Boar was stronger than the usual rabble of exotic beasts they encountered. Still, Shen Fei was unafraid. Although his current strength was not as strong as earlier, it should not be too difficult for him to defeat the Yellow-haired Wild Boar.
“Roar!” The Yellow-haired Wild Boar roared and charged at Shen Fei.
“Hmph!” Shen Fei coldly snorted at this.
He stomped on the ground and his body shot into the air; he leaped into the air and avoided the bite of the wild boar. This made the Yellow-haired Wild Boar furious.
