Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future
Chapter 296 - 296 The Flying Turtle Beast

296 The Flying Turtle Beast

The man was none other than Su Yang himself.

Shen Fei frowned. “You? Why are you here?”

“You’re asking me why I’m here?” Su Yang’s smile did not reach his eyes. “You don’t need to know that. Since you helped me kill the demonic beast and obtained the strange energy, you can go on your merry way.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yang walked to the demonic beast’s corpse and took the bead.

!!

“I have a question for you. From the way you moved when we fought briefly, you could have defeated the demonic beast yourself. Why did you ask me to help you?” Shen Fei asked dubiously.

Su Yang shrugged. “I have my reasons.”

“I see… Where are my friends?” Shen Fei asked again.

“They have been waiting for you outside the cave for a long time,” Su Yang said. He left after tucking the bead away. Shen Fei did not hesitate and followed him out of the cave.

After a while, the two of them met up with Aloy and Li Yuan, who were sitting at the entrance of the cave with worried expressions.

The moment she saw Shen Fei, Aloy rushed to his side. “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine.” Shen Fei’s mood lifted when he saw Aloy’s concerned face.

Aloy nodded, the worry on her face dissipating. “That’s good. We should continue our journey.”

After Shen Fei and the other two set off, a huge figure suddenly appeared from the depths of the forest outside the cave.

Its body exuded a powerful pressure that could make people feel like a mountain was pressing down on their hearts.

This was a 10,000-year-old mutated exotic beast. It was huge, twice the size of a human, and covered in black scales.

This 10,000-year-old beast stared in the direction that Shen Fei and his group had taken. Its eyes were filled with greed and it drooled. It saw Shen Fei and his group as delicious prey. The ancient beast started to follow their trail.

During this period of time, the demonic beasts inside the cave that Shen Fei had liberated also began to stir.

When they opened their eyes, the first thing they saw was the demonic beast lying on the ground. Seeing the demonic beast’s eyes that were filled with grievance and the charred body, they all gawked in disbelief.

Their master was a Demon King with unparalleled strength, but for it to be dead was simply unbelievable.

As such, the demonic beasts immediately joined forces and began to search for the human who killed their Demon King.

…

At the same time, Shen Fei, Aloy, and Li Yuan continued forward.

Soon after, Li Yuan suddenly opened his mouth and said, “I have a bad feeling about this. Are you guys also feeling cold all of a sudden?”

Aloy nodded. She felt that the further they went, the gloomier the weather became. The chilly wind blew, making their clothes flutter.

“Yeah, I feel it, too,” Shen Fei agreed.

The three of them looked at each other and understood the message in each other’s eyes—they were in trouble.

“Is this path another trap?” Li Yuan muttered softly.

Hearing this, Aloy could not help but roll her eyes at him.

“What was that for? Can’t you just trust me for once?” Li Yuan said, a little annoyed.

“Sorry,” Aloy scratched her head and said, “I didn’t mean it that way, but I just feel strange about all this.”

Shen Fei nodded as well. “That’s right, this path is indeed a little strange. It’s better for us to be more cautious.”

“Alright.” Aloy sighed and did not say anything more.

The three of them continued to walk forward. However, by this time, they were already in the depths of another forest. The deeper they went, the more creatures there were in the forest, including many high-rank exotic beasts. Obviously, the beasts had also noticed something entering their territory.

Suddenly, Shen Fei felt a terrifying aura rapidly approaching them, and it was getting closer and closer.

Its aura was powerful, and gave off the feeling of a great danger that was coming. It was as though a ferocious beast was approaching.

“Who is it?” Shen Fei immediately asked in alarm. The cloak on his body sharply illuminated what was ahead.

“Kekeke…”

An exotic beast with dark red flames burning all over its body appeared in their line of sight, cackling sinisterly.

The beast was dark red all over and looked ferocious. The scales on its body were unlike ordinary exotic beasts.

“It’s a Flying Turtle Beast, and this guy looks like a higher-grade Count-rank beast,” Aloy explained.

Shen Fei nodded. “Looks like this path is correct. We didn’t encounter any ordinary beasts along the way.”

“The Flying Turtle Beast is really fast. It’ll be dangerous if it catches up to us,” Li Yuan said worriedly.

Aloy snorted coldly and went in front. “Hmph, you two stay here then. I’ll go deal with the Flying Turtle Beast.”

When Shen Fei saw this, he did not reject the suggestion; he knew that Aloy was very strong.

“Ice Spirit, Ice Seal!”

The next moment, a transparent ice wall appeared in the air. Aloy did not hesitate and made a hand seal. A mysterious power burst out of her body. It formed an icicle on the ice wall and shot into the sky.

In an instant, the sky turned so cold that it could reach their bones. It was like being buried in ice.

Although there were ice-attribute Flying Turtle Beasts in existence, they mostly cultivated the fire attribute. As a result, the power of their ice attribute was far less powerful than that of other elements.

Therefore, other Flying Turtle Beasts were very afraid of ice users, which was why they chose to continue hiding in the depths of the mountain range, not daring to get close.

One had to admit that the intelligence of this particular Flying Turtle Beast in front of them was not lacking. It actually guessed that Shen Fei and his group would come from another route, so it had set up an ambush here.

Inside the ice prism, Aloy was suddenly wrapped in a white silk dress. Her figure looked as graceful as a fairy. She held a white sword in her hand and danced in the ice prism. Not only was there no obstruction for her as she sent wave after wave of ice-attribute attacks at the exotic beast. She moved so freely that she was like a fish in water.

This made the Flying Turtle Beast even more wary of acting rashly.

However, as Aloy’s attacks became more and more ferocious—and she looked like she was about to land a killing blow on the Flying Turtle Beast—the flying turtle suddenly turned around and left, disappearing from their sight.

Seeing this, Aloy was stunned. “The Flying Turtle Beast actually ran away?”

...

“It’s quite fast. If you don’t have a strong enough ice wall, it’s impossible to stop it.” Shen Fei said.

“Then what should we do?” Aloy could not help but ask.

“The Flying Turtle Beast is very strong, but it won’t hurt us. Let’s just keep going forward,” Shen Fei suggested.

“Alright, then.” Aloy agreed.
