Chapter 155 - 155 A Beast Without Its Master
At this point, Aloy turned her head away decisively. Although she was in urgent need of powerful exotic beasts, she had not fallen to the point of snatching them from Shen Fei. It was just an exotic beast. She would find a stronger one when the time comes!
“I didn’t say I wanted this one.” Shen Fei scratched his head. What did this bootlicker have to do with being powerful? What he wanted was one with a strong spirit and ability. Lear’s Black Sun would have been very suitable.
Although it was a little incomplete, its ability was outstanding. If he could catch it and raise it, it would recover after one evolution.
The Demonic Antelope had looked very proud, but the moment it saw Shen Fei, it immediately revealed its sycophantic nature. Shen Fei did not care about such things.
“I just wanted to use it to learn how to tame an exotic beast, that’s all.” Shen Fei pushed away the Demonic Antelope that was rubbing against his leg. The Demonic Antelope’s fur was short and hard, just like steel-bristle shoe brushes.
Yet, it still snuggled up to him without any sense of propriety. Did it really that it was not prickly enough?
Shen Fei looked at the Demonic Antelope on his leg disdainfully.
“If you want it, I can break the contract right now and give you this beast.”
“But this guy’s aptitude is not bad—”
“I already have two very talented spirit beasts.” Shen Fei did not hesitate to interrupt Aloy. “Besides, this guy is a little ugly. I don’t want him.”
“Baaaa!” The Demonic Antelope’s eyes were filled with tears.
“Really?” Aloy frowned silently. “Although this fellow isn’t a very handsome spirit beast, it’s not ugly either.”
“It looks like a single-horned zebra with a cheetah’s pattern.” The moment Shen Fei’s words came out, the other two immediately became silent.
“…Your description is quite accurate.” Qian Yu held back his laughter and nodded in agreement.
“Moreover, this Demonic Antelope’s attribute is different from mine. It’s more suitable for you—someone who has the talent to change attributes.”
“Since you put it that way, then…” Aloy took the initiative to reach out to the spirit beast. “Then I’ll reluctantly accept it!”
“Take it.” Shen Fei raised his hand without a care. The spiritual imprint that he left on the Demonic Antelope’s head disintegrated and disappeared without a trace.
“Baa, baa!” The Demonic Antelope’s happy and proud smile disappeared. It stuck out its tongue, but it could not reach the ashes.
“Coo, coo!” The Flame Owl happily flapped its wings and twisted its neck, gloating.
Aloy reached out and grabbed the long horn of the Demonic Antelope. This time, the Demonic Antelope’s spiritual body seemed to have lost all its vitality and obediently lay still in Aloy’s consciousness. Without much effort, Aloy subdued it quickly.
Looking at the Demonic Antelope that was obediently lying down in her consciousness, Aloy’s heart was filled with gratitude toward Shen Fei.
‘I have to return the favor some day.’
“Graar!” The Black Sun’s sharp and ear-piercing cry came from the scarlet storm. There was a strong sense of pride in that cry.
Following its cry, the storm that was wreaking havoc in the outside world gradually eased up.
“What’s the situation outside?” Qian Yu frowned and looked at the outside world curiously.
There seemed to be something on the Black Sun’s back. Could it be that nothing had happened to Lear, after all?
“If you want to know the answer, you can just go and take a look.” Aloy focused her mind and raised her hand.
The Ice Spirit that was standing at the side tacitly understood and moved closer to the front of the barrier. It gave a soft growl, and the ice barrier instantly melted in front of everyone.
“Coo!” The Flame Owl flapped its wings, and the fiery thorns quickly withered in front of them.
The violent storm had gradually stopped, and under the dazzling sun, there was only one figure left.
“Graar!”
The Black Sun, who only had one antenna left, suddenly raised its huge head. It shook something in its mouth. It was Lear, who had lost consciousness long ago and was covered in blood.
That smug look on the Black Sun’s face was as if it was announcing a victory that belonged to it alone.
“He killed Lear.” Aloy frowned as she looked at the Black Sun in the sky.
“If it killed him, then so be it.” Qian Yu was stretching lazily by the side. “Killing him off means a huge weight off our shoulders. At least we don’t have to go through the trouble of facing him directly.”
“It’s not as easy as you think.” Aloy stared at the Black Sun in the air with a wary look. “Lear’s death is the beginning of our troubles.”
“What do you mean?” Qian Yu looked at Aloy in confusion. “Lear is already dead. He can’t possibly let that exotic beast of his attack us again, right?”
“If that were the case, I wouldn’t be so nervous.” Aloy kept retreating, and the Ice Spirit beside her was already in an attacking position.
“The Black Sun came from the wormhole’s deep secret realm. That’s the place where the exotic beasts’ resentment lies. The exotic beasts that were born there hate us outsiders the most.”
“Graar!” The Black Sun tilted its head and stared at the few people on the ground. A cruel smile gradually appeared on its face.
“Gulp.” The moment the Black Sun looked over, Qian Yu gulped almost subconsciously. The fear of the Black Sun emerged in his mind once more.
“Is there any way for us to hide?”
“Impossible.” Aloy shook her head decisively.
“It would be great if we could evade it so easily.”
“Roar!” The Ice Spirit beside Aloy watched the approaching Black Sun vigilantly, revealing its sharp fangs.
“However, since Lear is dead, that means that this Black Sun is in a state of being without a master, right?”
“Naturally.” Aloy nodded her head and immediately frowned. She was aware of Shen Fei’s intention. “Don’t tell me you’re going to subdue it?”
As soon as she said this, Aloy thought that it was ridiculous. “I advise you to give up on this plan as soon as possible. That Black Sun is not as easy to deal with as the Demonic Antelope. An exotic beast of the Demonic Antelope’s rank is nothing in front of Black Sun.”
“We won’t know if we don’t try.” Shen Fei looked fearlessly at the Black Sun in the sky. “Although he is indeed very powerful, it is not impossible to subdue him.”
Moreover, Shen Fei had yet to level up his Three-clawed Golden Dragon.
