Chapter 107 - 107 A Well

107 A Well-devised Scheme

“Screech!!!”

The giant cocoon around the Golden-winged Roc suddenly shrank, and all the struggling in the cocoon stopped.

‘B*stard!’

Lear’s eyes were about to pop out of their sockets, and a dull pain suddenly came from his chest.

That was an exotic beast that he had spent half a day catching! After one attack by Shen Fei, it was gone just like that!

Lear clenched his fists in anger, the veins on his forehead bulging.

“Alright, hurry up and leave. I don’t want to deal with you any more today.”

Shen Fei gave Lear a cold glance. He raised his arm and took back the Flame Owl, then silently walked to the side.

If they stayed here any longer, the exotic beast horde would come. At that time, he would not be able to leave even if he wanted to. Moreover, he had already gotten everything he needed.

The Flame Owl buried its head in Shen Fei’s arms and discreetly spat out a transparent gem from its mouth. Inside the gem, a small tornado was slowly spinning.

[B-class temporary talent: Eye of the Storm ]

[Eye of the Storm: Creates a powerful hurricane over a short period of time, destroying everything in the area. (Remaining usage: 1)]

Shen Fei quietly placed this gem into his chest pocket. He would find a place to test the effects of this talent gem.

Whirr…

The surrounding air currents continued to spin as the Ancient Great Dragonfly descended from the sky, slowly landing in front of Shen Fei. The Ancient Great Dragonfly lowered its head. Its tranlucent wings were like glass stairs that dangled in front of Shen Fei.

“Shen Fei, let’s go.” Luo Ying, who was on the back of the Ancient Great Dragonfly, waved at Shen Fei enthusiastically. “It’s time to leave this place!”

“Yeah.” Shen Fei nodded and walked toward the Ancient Great Dragonfly.

“You still have face to leave?” Lear grabbed Shen Fei’s arm and glared at him fiercely. “If you have the guts, come back and fight me again!”

“I don’t fight with people who have lost…” Shen Fei coldly shook off his hand. “You should know the difference in strength between us after that match, right? Even if you challenge me again, you’ll only be sending your spirit beasts to their deaths.”

Lear lost control and roared, “You’re talking nonsense! The victory of this match should have been mine! The one to die should be your spirit beast!”

“Ignore him. Let’s go.” Aloy grabbed Shen Fei’s hand and brought him onto the Ancient Great Dragonfly. “We have to leave this place.”

Lear’s face was dark as he looked at the few people heading toward the wormhole.

‘If it wasn’t for Shen Fei’s sneak-attack, there’s no way my Golden-winged Roc would have died!’

“Shen Fei, don’t think that today’s matter will end so easily! Hmph!” Lear snorted coldly.

In any case, he was the organizer of this competition. Who cares if Shen Fei ran back now? Once he returned to the base, he would find a chance to torture Shen Fei!

Lear moved to touch the pathfinding crystal on his neck. However, the moment he touched it…

Poof.

The pathfinding crystal on his neck unfurled its transparent wings, turned into a butterfly, and slipped away from his fingertips!

Lear was dumbfounded as he stared at the “pathfinding crystal” flying into the distance.

‘What’s going on? Why does everything have to go against me?!’

Lear clenched his fists tightly, his heart filled with anger.

‘All of this must be Shen Fei’s tricks!’

Without the pathfinding crystal, he would be forced to stay in the wormhole. However, Shen Fei had miscalculated one point.

Lear’s mouth curved into an evil smile.

He was capable of taming exotic beasts! If an ordinary person trapped him in the wormhole, it would indeed be no different from waiting for death. However, for him, not only would he survive, he might even get more spirit beasts!

‘Hmph, Shen Fei, just you wait!’

Lear quietly disappeared into the grass. Behind him, a short black figure was waiting patiently…

The Ice Spirit followed behind Lear quietly. Lear’s every move was directly transmitted to Aloy through its eyes.

“You’ve done well, Ice Spirit. Just continue like this, don’t disturb him.”

Aloy carefully observed Lear’s every move. As long as she followed him closely for the next few days, she might be able to find out the secret behind his ability to tame exotic beasts!

It would not be too late to have Ice Spirit get rid of him then!



Whirr…

The Ancient Great Dragonly flapped its wings rapidly. Not long after, Shen Fei and his group broke through the wormhole and returned to the outside world.

“Luo Ying! Shen Fei! Are you guys okay?!”

As soon as they got outside, Qian Yu and the other two quickly came up and looked at Luo Ying with concern.

“Shen Fei and I are fine, of course. However, Li Ruoying’s situation isn’t that great.” At this point, Luo Ying looked worriedly at Li Ruoying in her arms.

She had already received emergency treatment, but Li Ruoying had yet to fully recover. This particularly worried Luo Ying.

“What happened to her?”

“I’m not too sure.” Luo Ying shook her head decisively. “Although I found her in the Shadow Spider’s web, there were already two holes in her neck before I found her.

Wang Panzhi frowned and carefully examined the two holes in Li Ruoying’s neck. “…The holes don’t look like they were made by a Shadow Spider.”

The bleeding had stopped. However, the skin around the two holes had turned a faint purple, and there were also tiny blood vessels throbbing at the side.

“You’re too late. Her wound has already begun to mutate.” Wang Panzhi looked at Li Ruoying worriedly. “No matter what, let’s put her in the observation room after we apply some medicine.”

“Alright.” Luo Ying nodded vigorously.

“Shen Fei, can I ask you to do me a favor?”

“You tell me.” Shen Fei firmly nodded his head.

Wang Panzhi immediately pulled out a stretcher from his inventory. “Please help me take her to the observation room.”

“Let’s go.” Shen Fei immediately helped Wang Panzhi place Li Ruoying on the stretcher.

“Wait.” Luo Ying grabbed Shen Fei’s shoulder. “You have to be careful when you go to the observation room over there. Those patients had all been infected by exotic beasts. They usually bite anyone they see. It’s very dangerous…”

“Don’t worry.” Shen Fei smiled as he looked at Luo Ying. “Even so, they’re just people.”

“When you see them, you’ll understand what Luo Ying means.” Wang Panzhi helplessly shrugged his shoulders. He then grabbed one end of the stretcher. “Hurry up and come with me now. The observation room will be closed later, and we can only spend the night with her like this.”

Shen Fei could not help but be curious.

What was in the observation room that could make them so afraid?
