Chapter 237 - 237 He Is My Enemy

237 He Is My Enemy

Putrid blood spurted out and splattered on the grass, giving off a strong stench. The Black-patterned Spider howled in pain, writhing its body and struggling.

“Hmph!” Zhang Yuxin snorted and quickly commanded the Purple Gold Rat, “Purple Gold Rat, Earth Shield Charge!”

Hearing Zhang Yuxin’s order, the Purple Gold Rat immediately pounced on the Black-patterned Spider.

Scuttle!

A ray of white light suddenly burst forth. The soil around the Purple Gold Rat suddenly surged up, turning into a wall to hinder the Black-patterned Spider, and a strong gale blew in.

The Black-patterned Spider stumbled from the push and hit the earth wall. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Purple Gold Rat’s body glowed with white light, and it immediately burrowed into the ground.

When the Black-patterned Spider finally righted itself, it wanted to scuttle into a cave and escape, but suddenly, the soil exploded, and a white figure appeared on its back once more. The Purple Gold Rat’s sharp teeth bit into the Black-patterned Spider’s neck again, causing it to cry out in pain.

The Purple Gold Rat was a royal spirit beast and was born with the ability to move about the battlefield freely, allowing it to travel underground and quietly approach the enemy.

The Black-patterned Spider was enraged. It opened its mouth wide, revealing its sharp fangs, and a black mist gushed out. The mist was like a black cloud that immediately covered a three-meter radius. It was highly toxic and could corrode everything in its range. The Purple Gold Rat jumped in fright and hurriedly dodged the mist attack.

The Black-patterned Spider seized the opportunity and charged at the rat. Despite its huge body, the spider’s four limbs moved at an extremely fast speed. It only took a moment for it to reach the Purple Gold Rat.

Seeing that it could not escape the Black-patterned Spider’s pursuit, the Purple Gold Rat became fretful, and its eyes revealed an ominous glint.

It suddenly opened its mouth, and a dazzling white beam of light burst out, bombarding the Black-patterned Spider’s body with a loud boom.

The pillar of light was terrifyingly powerful, forcing the spider back several steps. Its body was covered in wounds from the force.

The Purple Gold Rat was elated to see this. It was about to shoot out more beams of light when the Black-patterned Spider’s body glowed again, and it visibly recovered.

As a higher-grade Emperor-rank spirit beast, the Black-patterned Spider’s defense was much stronger than other spirit beasts of the same rank.

It opened its savage mouth and spat out a pitch-black, viscous liquid that formed a dome over Zhang Yuxin and the Purple Gold Rat. The Black-patterned Spider’s poison was very potent. An ordinary higher Count-rank spirit beast would not be able to withstand it; they would die if they came into contact with the spider’s poison.

“Damn it!” Zhang Yuxin’s pretty face was filled with panic. She quickly circulated her true Qi to form a barrier in an attempt to resist the Black-patterned Spider’s poisonous mist.

However, the Black-patterned Spider’s poison was too much. Even though Zhang Yuxin tried her best, she was still unable to fight it.

With a crackling sound, her protective barrier was eaten away by the poisonous mist, exposing her delicate flesh to the poison.

Zhang Yuxin’s face paled as she shrieked, “Eek!”

Shen Fei’s face was devoid of expression. His left foot stepped on the ground and his entire body rose into the air. He threw a punch at the Black-patterned Spider, sending it flying for five or six meters before it fell heavily to the ground.

Shen Fei landed on the ground and looked at the battered Zhang Yuxin. He said, “Just leave this to me!”

Zhang Yuxin’s pretty face was filled with determination. “How can—”

Shen Fei frowned. “This Black-patterned Spider’s strength isn’t ordinary, you’ll only drag me down if you stay.”

After he finished speaking, Shen Fei went straight at the Black-patterned Spider. “Three-clawed Golden Dragon, Dark Spirit Intimidation!”

Shen Fei summoned the Three-clawed Golden Dragon and put spiritual pressure on the Black-patterned Spider. Almost immediately, the Black-patterned Spider became dizzy, and its body felt weak.

The Black-patterned Spider hissed, its voice weak and low. It was obvious that it had been heavily injured.

“Purple Gold Rat, eat it!” Shen Fei shouted.

The Purple Gold Rat seemed to understand Shen Fei’s words and pounced at the spider.

Zhang Yuxin was stunned by this sight. She never thought that her own spirit beast would actually listen to Shen Fei’s orders.

The Purple Gold Rat bit off one of the Black-patterned Spider’s legs and started gnawing on it. The Black-patterned Spider wailed and twisted its body, trying to kick the rat away. However, the Purple Gold Rat was fast and powerful, making it very difficult for the spider to do much.

Eventually, the Purple Gold Rat used its teeth to tear apart half of the Black-patterned Spider’s body. The Black-patterned Spider shrieked in pain.

Zhang Yuxin was astonished, and her face was filled with disbelief.

“This… This is too powerful…” She had also never seen the Three-clawed Golden Dragon’s combat power before, so she was extremely surprised.

In just a few seconds, the Black-patterned Spider was completely finished off by the Three-clawed Golden Dragon. Such a fast combined kill was simply unheard of.

After the Black-patterned Spider was killed, Shen Fei called the Purple Gold Rat over, took out a pill, and stuffed it into its mouth.

“What did you give it?” Zhang Yuxin asked.

Shen Fei glanced at Zhang Yuxin, but did not answer her. He continued to examine the Black-patterned Spider’s corpse.

An awkward expression appeared on Zhang Yuxin’s face. She knew that Shen Fei would not answer her yet, so she simply stayed quiet.

Shen Fei seemed to have thought of something. He raised his head, looked at Zhang Yuxin, and asked, “…Your Purple Gold Rat is a higher Count-rank spirit beast. It should be able to defeat the Black-patterned Spider. Before I interfered, how could it lose?”

“Because the Black-patterned Spider is poisonous,” Zhang Yuxin mumbled.

“Poisonous?” Shen Fei was surprised for a moment, then came to a realization.

Higher-grade Count-rank spirit beasts all had their own poison, but the Black-patterned Spider was not only a high-ranking spirit beast, but a poison-attribute as well, so it must be even more lethal.

Although the Purple Gold Rat was protected by its purple gold armor, it could not have withstood the Black-patterned Spider’s poison either way. The Black-patterned Spider’s poison was so potent that it could rapidly paralyze its prey by inducing a temporary coma.

“Alright!” Shen Fei took out some healing pills and passed them to Zhang Yuxin.

The student was astonished, but she smiled and accepted it with a “Thank you!”

Shen Fei waved his hand. “It’s nothing, I’m just doing you a favor.”

“No matter what, you saved me.”

“Alright, alright. You should take care of your body first. I’ll stand guard here first,” Shen Fei instructed.

“Got it.” Zhang Yuxin nodded.

After the Purple Gold Rat was full, it gave an excited squeak and returned to its pocket dimension.

…

Meanwhile, Xia’er and Li Yuan were having a conversation of their own.

Xia’er had stopped and looked at Li Yuan with a serious face. “Li Yuan, why do I feel like you don’t hate that trash Shen Fei anymore?”

“What nonsense are you talking about? Why wouldn’t I hate him? He’s my enemy. Don’t misunderstand!” Li Yuan hurriedly said, looking flustered.

Xia’er scrutinized Li Yuan suspiciously and shook his head. He sighed and said, “Li Yuan, I really feel sorry for you! You, the young master of the Li family, lost to a piece of trash? You’ve really disappointed me.”

Xia’er’s face was full of disdain.

Li Yuan felt extremely resentful and could not help but curse at him, “What does my loss have to do with you? If you dare to mention it again, don’t blame me for being impolite!”

Hearing this, Xia’er’s face became haughty once more.

Li Yuan was used to being arrogant and despotic, so how could he withstand provocation?
