Chapter 104 - 104 Stalling For Time
Looking at Aloy’s determined eyes, Shen Fei nodded his head obediently.
“Since that’s the case, we’ll do as you say.” Shen Fei raised his head and watched the rapidly approaching Lear. “Aloy, Luo Ying, you two hide in the surrounding jungle and lie in ambush. I’ll be the bait and wait for him to come.”
“Alright!”
Aloy and Luo Ying nodded their heads in unison. The two of them dragged Li Ruoying and quickly went into the jungle.
“Is this really okay?” Luo Ying looked at Shen Fei worriedly.
Although she had not actually fought with Lear’s Golden-winged Roc, from the violent impact, it was clear that Lear’s Golden-winged Roc was definitely above Duke rank!
“Flame Owl, get ready!”
Under Shen Fei’s command, the Flame Owl immediately flew high into the sky.
“Chirp!”
Seeing the Flame Owl fly over, the Golden-winged Roc immediately panicked. It flapped its wings and turned to flee.
“What are you doing? Idiot!” Lear ruthlessly smacked the Roc’s head. “What are you running for? The enemy has already come to our doorstep. Just attack!”
Looking at the approaching Flame Owl, the Golden-winged Roc braced itself and charged forward.
“Coo, coo!”
When it saw the Golden-winged Roc charge over, the Flame Owl immediately acted as if it was shocked and flapped its wings to escape in Shen Fei’s direction.
The Golden-winged Roc, who had been gathering all its strength to attack, was stunned. It tilted its head and looked warily at the fleeing Flame Owl.
“Idiot, why aren’t you chasing it?!”
Lear smacked the Golden-winged Roc’s head and pointed at the Flame Owl.
“How many times have I told you? A trash spirit beast like the Flame Owl is nothing to be afraid of! That bravery earlier was just a bluff! When it sees a powerful beast like you, all it can do is run in fear!”
“Chirp!”
As Lear said this, the Golden-winged Roc’s body suddenly swelled up to more than twice its original size.
“Chirp, chirp!”
It looked excitedly at the fleeing Flame Owl, and the fear of its feathers being burned to nothing was instantly thrown to the back of its mind.
A strong gust of wind instantly exploded around the Golden-winged Roc, and several more gusts of wind chased after the Flame Owl!
Swish!
The Flame Owl pretended to struggle to fly in the wind as it sped up and headed into the jungle.
“Hahahahaha!” Lear laughed wildly. “Look at you! I told you that that broken bird can’t win. Hurry up and take it down!”
…
In the jungle, Shen Fei immediately stretched out his arm and took the Flame Owl back.
“Coo, coo!”
The Flame Owl quickly cooed in Shen Fei’s ear. It flew off to pass on the message to Aloy and Luo Ying.
‘Lear’s pathfinding crystal is hanging over his chest?’
Aloy frowned. This was going to be a little troublesome.
It would be easier to handle if the crystal was attached to his wrist. However, with the crystal hanging over his chest, he would easily discover what their intentions were.
Luo Ying grabbed the Flame Owl and asked, “Which part of the chest?”
The Flame Owl took a brief moment to recall, then stretched out its wings and roughly gestured at its chest. “Coo, coo, coo.”
“Is that so…” Luo Ying immediately understood and showed a relaxed smile. “Go and tell your master to attract Lear’s attention as much as possible. I can get the crystal, but it will take some effort.”
“Coo, coo!” The Flame Owl nodded its head and flew back to Shen Fei’s shoulder. “Coo! Coo!”
“Got it!” Shen Fei nodded his head in their direction. As long as they could remove the pathfinding crystal from Lear’s neck, he would be fine, no matter how long he had to drag it on!
“Shen Fei, why are you here alone?” Lear looked at Shen Fei sinisterly. “Where’s the girl who took you and ran away just now? Did she abandon you?”
“Cut the crap!” Shen Fei glared at Lear and deliberately put on a look as if he had hit the nail on the head. He looked at Lear with disdain.
‘Hoho!’ Lear could not help but raise his chin and look at Shen Fei with a proud expression. ‘This reaction of his means I’m completely spot on!’ Lear’s mood immediately became much better.
“Alright, I don’t want to waste my breath on you. Since you want to fight, then come!”
At this point, Lear looked at the Golden-winged Roc beside him with confidence.
If he had not mistakenly used his own Dissolving Beast to go against Shen Fei’s Three-clawed Golden Dragon that day, how could he, a Master-tier Beastmaster, lose to Shen Fei?
However, it was different today. The one beside him was a powerful exotic beast from this wormhole! If Shen Fei only planned to use his Flame Owl, he can forget about defeating him!
“Let me give you a piece of advice before the battle.” Lear looked at Shen Fei haughtily, the corner of his mouth curved up triumphantly. “With your current level, you won’t be able to last more than three rounds in front of my new spirit beast!”
“If you turn around and run now, you might be able to survive a few more seconds under the hands of my new spirit beast!”
Shen Fei fiercely waved his arm. “Cut the crap. Hurry up and do it!”
The Flame Owl immediately understood and flew into the air. It circled around Shen Fei’s head. The surrounding air also became scorching hot soon after.
“Sigh, I warned you, yet you still dare to challenge me?” Lear grinned, and the killing intent in his eyes was exposed. “Since you’re here to die, don’t blame me for being merciless!”
“Chirp!”
The Golden-winged Roc behind Lear suddenly spread its steel-like wings. Its golden pupils were like searchlights as it stared at Shen Fei.
“Coo, coo!”
The Flame Owl let out a long cry, and its body burned with hot flames. With a flap of its wings, the bird turned into a burning arrow and shot toward the Golden-winged Roc!
“Chirp!”
The Golden-winged Roc flapped its wings and let out a long shriek. There was no fear in its eyes. It raised the sharp claws high and slashed out a white blade of air with a fierce aura!
“Coo!”
Shen Fei’s Flame Owl reacted instantly. The fiery red feathers on its body once again became hot.
The moment the white air blade approached the Flame Owl, they were twisted by the hot air and forcibly separated.
Aloy carefully nudged Luo Ying who was beside her. “It’s time.”
“Don’t worry, I’m ready.” Luo Ying nodded in understanding and snapped her fingers.
Suddenly, a transparent and colorless butterfly quietly appeared on Luo Ying’s fingertips.
“Go.”
