Chapter 149 - 149 Tit For Tat

149 Tit For Tat

“Cough! Cough! Cough!”

The Azure Flame Lion’s face turned green as it lowered its head and began to cough violently. The black-spotted Demonic Antelope casually shook its head and walked beside the Azure Flame Lion arrogantly.

In the next moment, the Demonic Antelope’s eyes flashed with a sharp and fierce glint. It jerked its head, and the horn on its head changed direction, piercing through the Azure Flame Lion’s soft paws.

Blood splattered everywhere. The Azure Flame Lion’s face twisted in pain as it fell to the ground and rolled around. The King of the Jungle’s imposing manner from earlier had disappeared for a moment.

“Baa,” the Demonic Antelope cried out coldly and was about to step forward, when the lionesses who had been around the treasure immediately surrounded the Azure Flame Lion, forming a wall in front of the Demonic Antelope.

‘These exotic beasts actually know how to use tactics?’ Qian Yu stared at the lionesses in disbelief.

“This is a common occurrence in exotic beast battles.” Looking at the Demonic Antelope that still stood its ground proudly, Aloy’s eyes gradually became heated. “But even so, the Demonic Antelope is still the winner, without a doubt.”

Shen Fei nodded his head and slowly raised his arm. His gaze gradually became determined. “Then let’s catch that Demonic Antelope.”

“Coo!” The Flame Owl flapped its wings and flew away from Shen Fei’s arm.

“What’s that sound?” The moment the Flame Owl flew out, Lear’s voice rang out from somewhere close by.

“He’s coming.” Aloy became a little nervous, and she moved closer to the jungle.

Shen Fei patted Aloy and said assuredly, “Don’t worry. He won’t be able to do anything to us for a while. Let’s see what he’s planning to do before we act.”

“Graar!”

The Black Sun raised its head, and the antennae on its forehead trembled madly, as if it had discovered something. It roared fiercely at the bushes where Shen Fei and Aloy were!

However, as soon as it opened its mouth, Lear smacked it on the head with practiced ease.

“What are you making noise for!” Lear looked impatiently at the Black Sun, who was feeling wronged. “What if you scare off those exotic beasts again? I would have come here for nothing then!”

At this point, a mean look flashed in Lear’s eyes. He reached out and yanked the Black Sun’s feelers with his hand. “If you dare to scream again, I’ll pull out your antenna!”

“Graar!” The Black Sun flapped its wings in fear and nodded vigorously.

“Let’s go, then.” Lear gave the Black Sun another cold glance before he released his grip on the antenna. The sound of the Black Sun flapping its wings gradually became softer.

“We have to act quickly.” Aloy’s brows were tightly furrowed, her eyes filled with worry.

If Lear were to get his hands on one of the beasts, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“No rush.” Shen Fei watched the two vigilant beasts. The show had only just begun.

As soon as the Black Sun came over, the two beasts stopped fighting and turned to look up at Lear.

“Baa?” The Demonic Antelope tilted its head and looked at the Black sun in the sky. It was as if he was asking, “What is that thing?”

“Roar!” The Azure Flame Lion clutched its injured paw and crawled up from the ground with great difficulty. Surrounded by many female Azure Flame Lions, it leaned against the pile of treasure at the side. His eyes were filled with uneasiness.

“It seems the victor has been decided between you two.” Lear looked down at the two beasts like an Emperor.

“Graar!” As soon as Lear stopped speaking, the Black Sun immediately shook the antennae on its head and roared fiercely at the two beasts.

The invisible sound waves, with the Black Sun as the center, quickly cut into the surroundings. Its powerful aura swept up the dirt and dead leaves on the ground. Fine cracks formed rapidly in the smooth bark of the trees as they were assaulted by the sound waves.

Crack! Crack!

The bark broke into tens of thousands of tiny pieces and fell to the ground. Even the strong Azure Flame Lion could not help but feel its knees go weak at this moment. It hugged its head and shrank into the treasure pile.

“Baa!” Of the two beasts, only the Demonic Antelope still raised its horn and looked coldly at Lear.

“Hah! Interesting,” Lear huffed, his eyes darting between the Demonic Antelope and the Azure Flame Lion.

‘The Azure Flame Lion is quite strong, but it is also a bit timid. However…’ Lear squinted his eyes, the gears in his mind turning. ‘Being timid means it would be to control.

‘In any case, the strength of these two exotic beasts isn’t that much different. If one is killed, the other would still be able to control the monster horde!’

Lear’s commanding voice rang out, “Black Sun!”

Beneath him, the Black Sun immediately spread the semi-transparent wings on its back. On its wings, a multitude of demonic eyes opened one after another. The constantly moving, densely-packed eyes made the Demonic Antelope lower its head and get into a vigilant fighting stance.

“Kill that Demonic Antelope, then subdue the Azure Flame Lion!”

“Graar.”

The Black Sun raised its sharp head and howled madly. The sound waves that came out of its mouth were like thousands of sharp knives, spreading in all directions. Anything that came into contact with this sound wave, whether it was a tall tree or a hard coin, was instantly turned into powder.

“Flame Owl, now!”

The Flame Owl that had been waiting in the sky immediately changed its form. The feathers all over its body began to burn like raging flames, and a fireball as round as a full moon crashed straight into the Black Sun’s body.

Almost simultaneously, the many eyeballs on the Black Sun’s wings immediately turned and aimed at the fireball that was rushing toward it like a meteorite.

The fireball slowly stopped in midair.

“…Shen Fei?” Lear saw the Flame Owl in the air and frowned.

“I’ve been here for so long, and you’ve only just realized it?” Shen Fei laughed coldly without any fear and walked out from the grass.

“I’ve been looking for you in the camp for so long, I didn’t expect you to be hiding in this place like a coward!” Lear stared at Shen Fei. He looked like he wanted to rush in and skin the younger man alive.

“Graar!” The Black Sun under Lear waved the antennae on its head like it had gone crazy.

“Be quiet!” Lear stabilized his body and grabbed the Black Sun’s antenna.

‘No wonder the Black Sun had been acting so strangely. It had already discovered Shen Fei’s whereabouts.’
