307 Searching For Li Ruoying

Luo Ying was silent for a moment before she slowly said, “This is called a sealing rune. Its specific use is to stop the beast horde from erupting. But I can’t tell you how to do it; I’m not sure about it either.”

Shen Fei nodded contemplatively.

“Since you’ve obtained this sealing rune, I believe you have a way to stop the exotic beast horde, right?” Luo Ying asked.

“Yes.” Shen Fei nodded, then he said, “I tried to use it just now, but I couldn’t activate it.”

“Rest first. I’ll go replace someone to help.”

As Luo Ying was about to leave, Shen Fei seemed to have thought of something. He nodded thoughtfully and asked, “Senior Luo Ying, do you know where Uncle Tao Ming is?”

Luo Ying shook her head. “Maybehe died during the last horde, or maybe he’s hiding in some remote place.”

“Oh.” Shen Fei nodded again and could not help but feel a little sad.

Luo Ying quickly left, ready to replace teammates to help decipher the run and fight against the exotic beast horde.

Three days passed by in the blink of an eye. During this period, there were no signs of an exotic beast horde, and the beast activity they detected remained the same as before.

However, their activity seemed much weaker than before, as though they were restricted.

“Shen Fei, Aloy, you two come with me for a minute,” Qian Yu said calmly.

The two of them nodded.

……

Shen Fei asked, “Did something happen, Senior Qian Yu?”

“I’m going to save my friend.”

“Friend?”

“Yes,” Qian Yu replied. “Li Ruoying.”

Shen Fei frowned. ‘Didn’t we rescue her last time?’

“Has something happened to her?”

“We rescued her last time, but after you left, her illness started acting up again, and she was captured by the exotic beasts again.” At this point, Qian Yu’s expression turned gloomy.

“Where is she now?” Aloy asked.

“I’ll take you there.” Qian Yu waved his hand, and he continued walking straight on. “Let’s go.”

Qian Yu led the way. Eventually, they arrived at the place where Li Ruoying disappeared.

Qian Yu looked at the soil beneath his feet, and his voice was filled with worry. “This is the place where she was trapped.”

Shen Fei and Aloy carefully scoped the area and found traces of a battle. There were many bones scattered all around—skeletons of spirit beasts and exotic beasts.

After that, Qian Yu took out something that looked like a compass. “Let’s go. Li Ruoying should be up ahead.”

With that, Qian Yu suddenly flew off with a rustle. Shen Fei and Aloy quickly followed him.

Soon, the trio passed through a forest and found Li Ruoying. She was sitting on a rock. Her dull eyes were suffused with traces of red light, and she was completely trembling, like a frightened newborn.

“Li Ruoying!” Qian Yu quickly rushed forward, calling out to her anxiously. However, Li Ruoying did not notice him at all.

Shen Fei and Aloy joined in and encircled her.

“What’s going on?” Aloy asked, concerned.

“Her spiritual power was corrupted. I have her temporarily controlled for now, but she’s still on the brink of losing control,” Qian Yu said gravely.

“We can’t let this go on!” Shen Fei said with an anxious expression.

“Don’t panic. Let me think of something.” Aloy sighed and started to think of a possible solution.

Buzz…

A strange buzzing sound came from the forest. Suddenly, a furious roar resounded across the mountain range they were in. It was the roar of a Green-winged Draconic Bat!

Aloy’s face paled, and her eyes widened. “It’s a Green-winged Draconic Bat!”

Shen Fei’s eyes glinted coldly as he stared into the distance.

“Roar!” The Green-winged Draconic Bat’s roars were getting closer. It seemed to be nearing the peak of the nearby mountain.

It was a strange beast. The Green-winged Draconic Bat should be green, but its body was black.

“Shen Fei, ready yourself! We’re going to meet the enemy!” Qian Yu said.

Shen Fei and Aloy both summoned their weapons and clutched them tightly.

Boom!

Suddenly, the Green-winged Draconic Bat launched itself into the air. When it landed before them, a strong gust of wind swept out in all directions, causing the trees nearby to fall, and dust filled the air. Everyone also detected a pungent smell, and it was a nauseating scent.

Shen Fei and the others were near the mountain’s peak, coldly watching the Green-winged Draconic Bat as it approached. When the Green-winged Draconic Bat got closer, Shen Fei and his party attacked all at once.

The Green-winged Draconic Bat let out a furious roar and slammed its huge claws down, sending out a turbulent wind that met their attacks. It disrupted their joint attacks, and the bat smashed down again.

Shen Fei and Aloy were sent flying back, and they fell heavily to the ground. Qian Yu himself managed to block the Green-winged Draconic Bat’s attack, but he was also knocked back a dozen meters, and blood trickled from his mouth.

He wiped the blood away and raised his head to look at the Green-winged Draconic Bat. The beast was three hundred meters tall, and a look of horror flashed through Qian Yu’s eyes.

“Hiss!” Seeing the sorry state of the three, the Green-winged Draconic Bat let out a hissing chuckle, as if it was mocking them.

“Flame Owl, Blazing Charge!” Shen Fei summoned his spirit beast.

The huge firebird appeared suddenly, then turned into a beam of light that shot up into the sky. At the same time, the Green-winged Draconic Bat flew up to meet its attack.

Boom!

The violent collision was like two meteors crashing into each other. The scorching heat spread out and distorted the air, and a thick white mist rose from the collision area.

...

The power of the Blazing Charge and the Green-winged Draconic Bat’s flaming sprint was too terrifying. They destroyed the remaining trees in the area, forming a clearing that was about 600 meters wide.

Crack!

The Green-winged Draconic Bat had managed to resist the attack of the Blazing Charge, but its wings were broken in the process. Its huge body was pushed a thousand meters away and crashed into the dense forest in the distance. The Green-winged Draconic Bat’s body only came to a stop after smashing through a dozen ancient trees.

“Huff, huff…” The Green-winged Draconic Bat was gasping for breath, while its red eyes glared furiously at Shen Fei.

Shen Fei returned the glare with a cold gaze of his own.

“Roar!” This infuriated the Green-winged Draconic Bat even more. It opened its huge mouth and spewed scorching purple flames at Shen Fei.

“Hmph! Child’s play.” Shen Fei laughed derisively. “Flame Owl, Flaming Bramble Inferno!”

Following his order, the Flame Owl flapped its wings and ignited a raging fire all around it. The fire quickly turned into countless thorns and swept toward the purple flames.

The flames crashed into the thorny brambles and exploded. The resulting shockwave disintegrated the surrounding trees into ash.

“Roar!”

The Green-winged Draconic Bat grew even madder. It charged recklessly at Shen Fei with its claws extended, ready to take his life.

...

Aloy paled and she cried, “Shen Fei, be careful!”

In the face of the Green-winged Draconic Bat’s powerful physical defense, Shen Fei was unable to do anything to it.

While watching the bat warily, Shen Fei muttered to himself, “It’s too strong. I’ll have to deal with it here and now.”

“Flame Owl, Blazing Charge!” Shen Fei shouted once more.
