Chapter 280

280 Entering The Hidden Void

“Miss Aloy, I’m not threatening you. I’m merely stating a fact.” Su Yang spread out his hands with a helpless look on his face.

“I-I…” Aloy tried to come up with a retort.

“I can give you fifteen minutes’ time to think about it. I hope to get a response by then.” Su Yang smiled.”

“Fine.” Aloy looked at Shen Fei. “You’re on your own.” After that, she turned and left.

Shen Fei lightly sighed, “Sigh, fine.”

Su Yang said, “Shen Fei, you don’t have to worry. There’s an old saying in this world, ‘Do not fear ten thousand tigers, but fear thieves!'”

“Hmph!” Shen Fei coldly snorted and said, “You’d better not do anything to us in this fifteen minutes’ time. Otherwise, we won’t let you off so easily!”

“Hahaha, don’t worry, I wouldn’t dare. But if you want to take advantage of the chaos to attack me, I advise you to give up.”

“Of course.” Shen Fei nodded.

…

Fifteen minutes passed by very quickly.

Su Yang looked at Shen Fei and asked with a smile, “Have you decided? Do you want to help me defeat the demonic beast?”

At this, Shen Fei’s expression also became serious. He said in a deep voice, “Su Yang, are you really not afraid of death?”

“Of course I’m not afraid. You should know my character very well. Since I’m able to do this, it means that I’m prepared to die,” Su Yang said with determination.

“Good! Then I agree to cooperate with you!” Shen Fei said.

Su Yang smiled at this. After a while, he brought Shen Fei to the beast’s location. Aloy and Li Yuan were left behind and did not follow them.

Seeing the two of them fly off, Aloy frowned and shouted, “Hey! Why didn’t you bring me along…”

…

The scene changed to a place with darkness everywhere.

“Where is this place? “Shen Fei could not help but ask as he looked at the pitch-black surroundings.

“This is the mountain range where the demonic beasts reside,” Su Yang said. “Shen Fei, you can make your move now. As long as you can kill this beast’s soul essence, we’ll be able to obtain the strange energy.”

Hearing this, Shen Fei immediately released a tyrannical aura.

The surrounding environment suddenly changed. What was once pitch-black suddenly had wisps of light appear.

Seeing this scene, Shen Fei couldn’t help but exclaim, “What kind of magic weapon is this?”

Su Yang shook his head and said, “It’s not a magic weapon; it’s a defensive spatial ward. You have to kill the demonic beasts here and collect their soul essences as quickly as possible. I’ll be leaving as well. However, you have to be careful. Don’t make any mistakes again. If I find out that you’re acting on your own and not following the plan, I won’t let you off.”

After saying that, Su Yang disappeared. As he watched Su Yang leave, Shen Fei took a deep breath. After that, he immediately began searching for demonic beasts.

Shen Fei also tried to communicate with the system in his mind. However, his attempts were clearly to no avail.

Even if he kept releasing his aura to check the surroundings, he still could not detect a trace of a beast’s presence.

‘Huh, this place is really quiet. Could it be that a demonic beast is nearby after all?’ Moreover, it was pitch black where he currently was, and Shen Fei had very limited vision.

Thinking up to here, Shen Fei took out a lamp from his storage ring. Only then did he clearly notice his surroundings.

All around him were towering trees, and the occasional faint chirping of birds could be heard from the dense forest. Other than that, the whole forest was still extremely quiet, and an inexplicable oppressive atmosphere permeated every corner.

“Could it really be here?” Shen Fei could not help but mutter. He then continued to release his aura to scan the surrounding environment, looking for traces of demonic beasts.

Suddenly, Shen Fei sensed an extremely dangerous fluctuation.

‘This is bad. There really is danger here. I have to retreat at once!’ Shen Fei hurriedly stood up. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something and stopped.

‘This must be the demonic beast wanted by Su Yang, so it really is in this area.’ Shen Fei did not hesitate and stepped into the forest.

The forest was very lush, and the treetops even blocked out the sun, making it difficult for one to see the situation outside. As Shen Fei searched, he vigilantly evaluated his surroundings, afraid of encountering any sudden danger.

Just like that, Shen Fei spent a full six hours like this before he found a spot that piqued his interest.

This place just happened to be beside the trunk of a large tree. Shen Fei hid behind another tree, holding his breath. His eyes were tightly shut, but his entire body exuded killing intent.

Suddenly, Shen Fei heard a soft sound and immediately opened his eyes. He was shocked by what he saw.

There were hundreds of huge Wild Boars hidden under the leaves not far away. The boars were five meters long, huge, and appeared to weigh almost a ton each.

Together, they made a group of terrifying monsters, and they no doubt had extraordinary strength.

Shen Fei frowned and thought to himself, ‘This is troublesome!’

These Wild Boars were too formidable.

“Flame Owl, come out,” Shen Fei said in a low voice.

The Flame Owl, as his spirit beast, could be unleashed at this crucial moment to distract the enemies and protect him.

His spirit beast appeared in front of him. With a flash, the Flame Owl charged toward the Wild Boars. Upon seeing this, Shen Fei immediately teleported and caught up with it.

The Flame Owl’s speed was very fast, but the Wild Boars were equally terrifying. Their fangs were incredibly sharp, as if they could rip the sky apart.

The Flame Owl crashed into one of the Wild Boars, and with a muffled sound, its body was sent flying back, rolling a few meters on the ground. The boars roared when they saw that the Flame Owl dared to provoke them.

“Damn it! “Shen Fei cursed and immediately went into battle mode. One of the Wild Boars suddenly appeared in front of him. It brandished its huge hooves and swiped at Shen Fei.

The Flame Owl suddenly pounced on the boar and bit its neck.

“Get lost!”

Fresh blood spurted out, and the Flame Owl was flung a few feet away. However, even though the boar’s neck was bitten through, it was not dead yet. It broke free from the Flame Owl’s grasp and ran to the other boars. They charged at the Flame Owl together, wanting to tear it apart.

“Coo, coo!”

The Flame Owl roared and turned into a ball of fire, instantly burning two Wild Boars to death.

The remaining two boars were stunned when they saw this.
