Chapter 247 - 247 Shivering In Horror
“Chirp, chirp!”
The roars of spirit beasts and shrill cries of birds echoed throughout the valley.
Shen Fei’s brows were knitted tightly as he said in a deep voice, “This is their territory, if we barge in rashly, we’ll be targeted easily. We only have three options. One is a detour, but we’ll have to pass through a large forest. It’s quite dangerous, so I suggest we give up on that option.
“The second option is to head to the central area. It’s less dangerous, we can avoid many powerful spirit beasts, and the success rate of escaping is higher.”
After hearing this, everyone contemplated deeply. In the end, they unanimously chose to move toward the central area.
The Black Sun flapped its wings and swooped down monstrously, fiercely colliding into the spirit beasts that approached. The spirit beasts let out terrified roars and tried to evade it quickly. They had no time to deal with the Black Sun.
Shen Fei and the others took this opportunity to escape, making their way rapidly to the central region.
…...
Ten minutes later, they were less than a kilometer away from the central area. But suddenly, Shen Fei and the rest encountered trouble.
They saw a group of huge apes appear suddenly, blocking their path. These apes had two great arms, their bodies were covered in bulging muscles, and they exuded a savage aura. They were not particularly strong, and were only at the initial stage of the yellow-tier martial realm.
However, there were simply too many of them. They were also densely packed together, exposing Shen Fei and the others’ whereabouts.
“This is terrible.” Shen Fei’s expression changed.
Their goal was too obvious, and they were already surrounded by more than thirty apes. Each ape was bare naked, but had tattooed markings all over their chests and bronze skin. Their eyes glowed with a dark green light, appearing like will-o’-the-wisp.
Their bodies were tall and strong, their hands were clenched into fists, and they were filled with the strong aura of wild beasts. They also had a golden mark on their foreheads.
Low growls came from the apes as they revealed their cold blood thirst. The smell of killing intent filled the surrounding air.
“These spirit beasts don’t seem to have any intelligence.”
“Quickly, knock them out and lure them away!” Shen Fei instructed.
However, the Black Sun did not give them a chance to catch their breaths. It charged straight at the apes and bit them mercilessly, showing no restraint.
Although the apes were generally considered weak, it was difficult to fight against their large numbers. In just a few seconds, they surrounded the Black Sun.
“Black Sun, Ancient Prestige!” Shen Fei shouted.
The Black Sun nodded and instantly bloomed with dazzling brilliance. Instantly, overpowering and majestic energy fluctuations swept out from its body.
“Howl!” the Black Sun roared into the sky, its voice loud and melodious.
The restless apes were all intimidated by the overpowering and majestic voice. Their bodies suddenly froze up as they gazed at the Black Sun in a daze, their eyes filled with fear.
The actions of these apes gave rise to Shen Fei and the students’ spirits.
The Black Sun was like an ancient existence, the kind that possessed an ancient bloodline power. It was majestic, powerful, and could look down on all beings like a deity. Some of the weaker apes were so scared that they started crying.
Shen Fei’s expression grew excited as he praised the Black Sun under his breath, “This aura is too amazing! It’s like a king of heaven descending upon the mortal earth! This is the demeanor of a strong being!”
Shen Fei felt the blood in his entire body boiling as his combat strength became more active.
“Graar!” The Black Sun let out a shocking roar once more. Its voice became louder, and it even resonated through the clouds. The aura it released was even more majestic than before.
The apes were horrified, their bodies trembled, and their faces turned scary as though they had seen the Lord of Death. The Black Sun’s bloodline aura was suppressing them.
“Hoo, hoo!”
At this moment, the apes did not dare act rashly. Many of them even knelt on the ground and shivered.
Shen Fei and the others were also affected. Their bodies trembled, but they persevered.
“Hmph!” Shen Fei snorted coldly.
“Graar!” The black Sun roared again.
Thud, thud!
The apes all knelt on the ground, trembling in fear. They had finally realized what kind of existence they had provoked, and they were all even more terrified than before.
“Hahaha! These beasts can really be scared. I thought that they were powerful, but they’re really just a bunch of cowards!”
“Hahaha!”
“We’ll definitely pass the assessment this time!”
Everyone cheered and jumped for joy. Their previous despair was forgotten for the moment. Even Shen Fei could not help but sigh in relief.
For some reason, the Black Sun only let out roars, but it was enough to scare the apes.
‘Could it be that these apes were sufficiently afraid of the Black Sun?’
Shen Fei shook his head. He could not figure it out for the time being, so he stopped caring about it.
Right at that moment, a low roar suddenly rang throughout the forest. It sounded loud and threatening, causing everyone to stiffen.
“What? Another spirit beast?” Shen Fei frowned for the umpteenth time today and his expression became serious again.
From the depths of the forest, a huge creature was approaching their location. The body of this enormous creature was between fifteen and twenty meters in length. Its entire body was as black as ink, and covered in solid black scales. Its back was lined with sharp blades, and it had very sharp claws. It also had thick fangs that glinted coldly.
The creature was a breathtaking sight. This spirit beast exuded a terrifying aura, possibly a fiendish one, and it made them tremble in fear.
This spirit beast was called the Saber-tooth Tiger King!
Aside from its huge body, it also had a hideous mouth. Its two fangs also glowed with a scarlet light.
“Damn it!” Shen Fei’s face had turned gloomy, and his eyes revealed a hint of fear.
“This Saber-tooth Tiger King doesn’t seem to be hostile…” Zhang Yuxin, who had been following Shen Fei this whole time, frowned.
Shen Fei stared at the Saber-tooth Tiger King and muttered, “Let’s keep observing the situation first.”
At this moment, the Saber-tooth Tiger King had also noticed Shen Fei and the students. It grinned, revealing its ferocious white teeth. Then, it slowly walked toward them. The killing intent on its body gradually disappeared, until it became calm and indifferent.
“Be careful. This Saber-tooth Tiger King is a higher Emperor-rank spirit beast,” Shen Fei warned the others in a low voice.
‘An Emperor-rank spirit beast?’ Hearing this, everyone’s hearts beat even more rapidly.
“Roar!”
The Saber-tooth Tiger King’s entire body emitted a scary aura that shook the surroundings. The moment that aura was released, Shen Fei and the students felt suffocated.
Zhang Yuxin’s pupils contracted as she spoke, “This… is really an Emperor-rank spirit beast?”
