Chapter 323

323 Meeting the Redscale Lion

“Coo, coo!” The Flame Owl raised its head and cried, then stretched out its sharp talons and scratched at the Flame Wolf. It scratched ruthlessly at the Flame Wolf’s head, causing the latter to stagger two steps back and almost fall to the ground.

However, in the next second, the Flame Wolf opened its mouth and bit at the Flame Owl. The Flame Owl was caught off-guard by the Flame Wolf’s actions and quickly retracted its talons.

Blue shot came out of the Flame Wolf’s mouth, burning the Flame Owl.

The Flame Owl’s eyes focused and it hurriedly flapped its wings. Countless sharp wind blades appeared out of thin air and flew toward the Flame Wolf.

The wind blades cut through the air and slashed at the Flame Wolf’s body with great power. White smoke rose from the Flame Wolf’s body.

“Roar!” The Flame Wolf cried in pain, and its body was covered in wounds.

When Shen Fei saw this, he did not stop and ordered the Flame Owl to attack again. In the next second, the Flame Owl swooped down, and its huge talons grabbed at the Flame Wolf’s head.

The Flame Wolf’s eyes flickered. It knew that it was no match for Shen Fei. Still, it managed to evade the Flame Owl’s talons, then it turned and continued to charge at Shen Fei.

When Shen Fei saw this, a smile appeared on his face. He then stomped on the ground and disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already beside the Flame Wolf.

Bang!

Shen Fei kicked out and struck the Flame Wolf’s abdomen, instantly sending the wolf flying.

Shen Fei snorted. “Die.”

His figure suddenly rushed forward. He bent his right knee and kicked the Flame Wolf’s stomach again. There was a loud sound of bones breaking.

The Flame Wolf fell heavily to the ground, its body twitching violently. Shen Fei walked forward and stabbed his sword into the Flame Wolf’s throat. Finally, the Flame Wolf was defeated.

Shen Fei then walked to the fire spirit herb.

A shrill cry suddenly came from the herb.

“What’s going on?” Shen Fei was stunned as he looked around.

Beside the fire spirit herb was a Black Python! The Black Python was about ten meters long, and its entire body was pitch black. Its body was coiled up, and it flicked its tongue as it coldly stared at Shen Fei.

“This…” Shen Fei’s mouth twitched. He never expected there to be an extremely poisonous Black Python next to the fire spirit herb.

The Black Python’s body also emitted a pungent smell. Its lantern-sized eyes continued to stare at Shen Fei.

“Hiss!” The Black Python hissed at him in a strange voice.

Suddenly, the beast flicked its tail and whipped it at Shen Fei. Shen Fei’s eyes slightly narrowed. His body scuttled quickly and dodged the tail.

The Black Python’s attack missed, and it turned its head to bite Shen Fei instead. Shen Fei snorted at the feeble attempt. With the sword in hand, he slashed at the Black Python’s neck.

The Black Python’s neck was incredibly tough, and even with Shen Fei’s full-strength put into his sword attack, he could not hardly put a scratch on it.

The Black Python’s reaction was very fast; it opened its mouth and snapped the sword blade before he could attack again.

When Shen Fei saw this, he used all his strength to pull the blade back. However, the Black Python heels on tight and did not let go.

At this moment, Shen Fei gave the Flame Owl a look. After understanding its master’s intention, the Flame Owl flapped its wings and flew into the air, ready to launch a fierce attack.

The Flame Owl flapped its wings, and its body dove like a meteor at the Black Python.

A sound like thunder rang out, and the Black Python’s massive body was instantly thrown back. It crashed heavily onto the ground, sending up a cloud of yellow dirt and dust.

The Flame Owl stood firmly and looked down at the Black Python as it lay on the ground, letting out a few disdainful hisses.

“Roar!”

Just as the Flame Owl was about to pursue and kill this annoying fellow, a roar suddenly came from the distance. The roar was deafening and reverberated throughout the valley.

Hearing this voice, the Black Python and the flame owl both trembled, and their eyes were filled with fear.

Shen Fei’s expression changed as he cursed, “Not good, that’s the roar of a Redscale Lion.” The Redscale Lion was an Emperor-grade lower spiritual beast.

The Black Python quickly left. From the looks of it, it was really afraid of the Redscale Lion and did not dare to stay any longer.

Then, a very eye-catching six-meter long male lion in red armor appeared. It was the Redscale Lion!

This scene alarmed many of the nearby beasts. They scattered and fled in all directions, afraid that the Redscale Lion would pursue them.

The Redscale Lion’s strength was extremely terrifying. Even an ordinary low-grade Emperor-rank spirit beast could not withstand a single swipe from it! The many beasts in the area were so afraid of it that they did not even dare to resist!

“Roar!”

The Redscale Lion roared in anger and walked toward Shen Fei’s direction, as if it wanted to take revenge on the Flame Owl.

Shen Fei’s brows furrowed, and he left quickly. He was feeling uneasy, and he was not sure if this Redscale Lion recognized him as a trespasser.

“Roar!” Just as Shen Fei had expected, the Redscale Lion followed closely behind and roared continuously.

The Redscale Lion pushed its way forward, and wherever it went, all the spirit beasts it touched were turned into a pile of ash. In a short while, the Redscale Lion arrived at the location where Shen Fei and the Flame Owl had just fought.

The Redscale Lion paced around Shen Fei’s previous position. It exhaled air from its nostrils. After carefully observing for a moment, it raised its head and roared at Shen Fei’s general direction, as if it was mocking him. It then turned around and left.

Shen Fei heaved a sigh of relief. The Redscale Lion did not notice him.

‘Phew! It’s alright,’ Shen Fei said in his heart. At the same time, he plucked up the fire spirit herb and placed it in his storage ring.

With the fire spirit herb in his inventory, he needed to find an immortal fire seedling in the Valley of the Scorching Sun…

But why did the Redscale Lion not have any enmity toward him? Shen Fei was a little confused. Although this fire spirit herb was precious, it was not of much use to the Redscale Lion.

Shen Fei searched the nearby area for a moment before he left the lava cave.

After he went outside, Shen Fei thought that the surrounding environment seemed to change drastically. The temperature had also increased.

With a friend, he increased his pace and rushed toward the depths of the valley. After passing through a dense forest of very hardy trees, another huge cave appeared in front of him.

The fire coming from this cave was bright, illuminating the paths inside. There were all kinds of spirit stones in the cave, and each one of them contained spiritual energy.

Unfortunately, these spirit stones were of poor quality and had little amounts of spiritual energy. They were of limited help to cultivation, so they were not worth much.
