Chapter 208 - 208 How Could He Admit Defeat?
“No… This is an illusionary rune?” Li Yuan struggled with all his might, but it was to no avail. Finally, his eyes widened.
Hum…
In his sea of consciousness, a golden rune appeared. It bloomed with a dazzling light like the sun. When the rune flashed and disappeared, the cold air gradually dissipated, and the Ice Seal technique also collapsed.
Li Yuan gathered himself, but his heart was in turmoil, and there were many thoughts crashing around in his head.
The rune had left a deep impression on him. It seemed to be an illusion!
“This… What kind of illusion is this?” Li Yuan was extremely terrified; this spell had made him extremely fearful. He even felt that if he were to encounter it again, he would most likely fall into the illusion permanently. If that were to happen, it would be terrible!
Thinking of this, he could not help but feel scared.
At this moment, Shen Fei walked over and said in a clear voice, “Li Yuan, my Ice Seal technique isn’t weak, right?”
Hearing this, Li Yuan nodded his head in embarrassment. “…Not bad.”
He thought that Shen Fei only knew how to use the fire attribute, but he actually knew the ice attribute as well.
Li Yuan had lost in this confrontation… and it was devastating.
Seeing Li Yuan’s reaction, Shen Fei grinned. “Hehe, it’s fine as long as you admit it.” He took a step forward.
“Li Yuan, this Shen Fei is too strange.”
“It seems that if you want to get rid of him, you’ll have to use a thunderous method!” For a time, the students from the various campuses were discussing among themselves.
“Do you dare to kill me?” Li Yuan asked through gritted teeth.
“You should not have provoked me!” said Shen Fei coldly.
Wham!
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Fei raised his fist and punched Li Yuan’s body. Li Yuan’s chest caved in, and he spat blood. His body flew backward and smashed into a nearby hill.
Crash!
After Li Yuan landed, he coughed up a large amount of blood. His face was pale, and his injuries were quite severe.
His eyes were filled with hatred as he glared at Shen Fei and angrily yelled, “If you kill me, my father will avenge me!”
“Hehe, there are many people in this world that you wish you could kill but can’t,” Shen Fei said unhurriedly. He slowly walked to Li Yuan’s side, took out a pill and handed it to him.
“What kind of poison is this? You can’t wait for me to die, right?” Li Yuan cursed loudly.
“This is a victorious heart pill. You can heal yourself after eating it.”
After Shen Fei finished his words, he passed the pill to him.
Li Yuan was stunned. ‘…I didn’t expect Shen Fei to be so kind.’
However, he still refused it and said disdainfully, “Hmph, how can I give in just because of a pill?” His bones and armor were as hard as iron, and even if he was heavily injured, he could recover quickly.
“If that’s the case, I hope you don’t end up begging me!” Hearing this, Shen Fei shrugged his shoulders and threw the pill to one side.
Seeing this, Li Yuan was startled and a touch of regret inexplicably emerged in his heart. However, he was unwilling to lower his head. After all, it was a disgrace. So, he closed his eyes and pretended to lose consciousness.
Seeing that Li Yuan had fainted, Shen Fei smiled lightly and said, “If the injuries on your body are not treated within the hour, you’ll be half-paralyzed. Are you sure you don’t want the pill?”
“Half-paralyzed?!” Hearing this, Li Yuan’s eyes shot open, looking shocked.
He stared at the storage ring on Shen Fei’s finger. There were all kinds of treasures stored within: spirit herbs, pills… Obviously, Shen Fei was not threatening him, this was the truth!
Thinking of this, he gulped. Finally, Li Yuan nodded. “Alright, I’m convinced!”
“Hehe, wouldn’t it have been better if you had done this sooner?” Shen Fei laughed. He then took out another healing pill and fed it to Li Yuan.
“Thank… Thank you!” After swallowing the medicinal pill, Li Yuan put on a guilty expression and could not help but raise his head to look at Shen Fei.
At this moment, he had mixed feelings in his heart. He had been so arrogant before. Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, this ending would overturn his mindset. This kind of contrast made it difficult for him to adapt.
“You’re welcome.” Shen Fei waved his hand and smiled. “Remember, I’m the one who spared your life this time. You won’t be so lucky next time.” With that, he left.
Seeing this, Li Yuan was extremely depressed, but he also sighed.
“Let’s head back first.” Shen Fei left after he finished speaking.
Li Yuan, Xia’er and the other students who stayed behind could only follow behind Shen Fei.
Soon, the forest was filled with dense fog.
A student then complained, “Why is the fog getting thicker and thicker? I can’t even see what’s in front of me.”
Hearing this, Shen Fei frowned. The mist was indeed getting thicker. This made him feel a little uneasy.
He also suddenly realized that he was lost.
“No wonder there are fierce beasts here. It really isn’t that simple,” he muttered to himself as he led Li Yuan and the others onward.
Suddenly, there was movement around them. A gust of cold wind blew past, like the wailing of ghosts and howling of wolves.
“Aahhh!!” A few students screamed and turned into nutrients for the forest. They were killed in an instant.
“What a dense, baleful Qi!” Seeing this, Li Yuan felt extremely timid.
Shen Fei’s brows furrowed tightly. “Let’s hurry and leave!”
Although he did not know why there was this fiendish Qi here, he knew it was very dangerous.
It was also at this moment that the two giant apes suddenly roared and charged out. Their arms were eight meters long when fully extended. Their skin was black as if it was cast from steel, and they gave off a terrifying aura.
“Retreat, retreat immediately!”
Seeing this, the students quickly retreated. The two giant apes were too powerful. Their bodies swayed as they rushed forward in pursuit of their prey.
“Run!” Shen Fei’s eyes narrowed, and he retreated as well.
But suddenly, Shen Fei’s feet were swept out from under him and his body fell over. Simultaneously, a vine rolled around from the side and dragged him into the crack of a tree trunk.
“What’s this?!” Shen Fei exclaimed.
Rustle! With a swing of the vine, Shen Fei was launched out.
Bang!
Shen Fei only stopped after crashing into several ancient trees.
After he steadied himself, Shen Fei cursed, “F*ck, that’s ruthless!”
After a moment, he noticed something.
“These fissures on the trunk are quite wide. Were these caused by vines? Or humans? Could this be the reason why the vines attacked us?”
After hesitating for a moment, Shen Fei got up and dashed forward.
Whoosh!
Not long after, he flew through another fissure.
“Huh, where are those vines?” When he thought the coast was clear, Shen Fei heaved a small sigh of relief…
…Until he frowned again.
“Did I guess wrong?” Shen Fei swept his gaze around. “Maybe there are only plants here!” After thinking about it, Shen Fei was too lazy to care about all this.
Shen Fei prepared to leave the area when he happened to shoot a glance at an old tree not far away.
‘There’s a corpse there!’ Shen Fei narrowed his eyes, a look of surprise emerging on his face.
There were many fissures here. He had tried to touch them, but his touch was bounced off every time. Now, after careful observation, he realized that these cracks were not natural. Instead, they were deliberately created by a living being.
“Could it be the vines themselves?” When he thought of that mysterious ancient tree they had passed, Shen Fei’s brows knitted together again.
Within seconds, he passed through more fissures and arrived next to the corpse.
It was a young man covered in blood and his clothes were torn… at the neck.
