Chapter 361 - 361 Aloy Chooses Another Spirit Beast
Aloy blushed and lowered her head.
“Let’s go to the spirit beast base the Wang family opened, and pick a spirit beast there.” Shen Fei stroked Aloy’s hair.
“Ah…Oh… Alright!” Aloy recovered from her warm daze and nodded her head.
They left the beast breeding institution and walked to a spirit beast base owned by the Wang family. This spirit beast base was located in the southern part of the city. It occupied a large area and was surrounded by fences. The peripheral facilities were relatively complete, and even the protective shield was almost impossible to remove.
After all, the spirit beasts in this base were extremely precious and valuable. They must not be damaged in any way.
There were a few armored guards standing at the entrance of the spirit beast base. When they saw Shen Fei and Aloy approaching, one of the men came forward and asked, “May I ask if the two of you are here to buy a spirit beast?”
Shen Fei smiled and nodded. “Yes, we are.”
“Please follow me. I’ll take you to see the spirit beasts that can be purchased,” the guard said and turned around to lead them inside.
Along the way, Aloy kept looking around. The spirit beast base was built in a very strange style. It had a circular structure, and each floor was fenced up to isolate it from the ordinary floors.
The top of the base was covered by a huge array, giving off a dense spiritual energy that far surpassed that of ordinary areas.
Shen Fei and Aloy continued inside. Along the way, they saw many martial artists and beast tamers. However, they kept to themselves and did not take the initiative to strike up a conversation with anyone.
They all knew that, apart from beast tamers who were in charge of the management of the spirit beast base, there was another profession: mercenaries.
To mercenaries, Shen Fei and Aloy were two seemingly weak youths who could not possibly possess powerful strength. They could only become prey for the rich. Moreover, both of them were attractive. If there were mercenaries here who were not above human trafficking, they might try to capture Shen Fei and Aloy and offer them to someone as slaves. They would probably be rewarded handsomely, too.
Shen Fei noticed the malicious gazes from the surroundings and snorted coldly in his heart. He ignored them, and continued following the guards.
Soon, the three of them arrived at their destination. When Shen Fei and Aloy arrived at the third floor, they saw a group of people gathered together and chatting away. The group immediately spotted the young newcomers and decided to target them.
A dark-skinned man suddenly walked over and said impatiently, “Geez, who dares to come here?”
Shen Fei glanced at the brawny man indifferently and ignored him.
“Hehe, did you see that? He actually dared to ignore me.” The brawny man was so angry that he laughed. The others present also wore gloating expressions.
“Haha, this kid is quite arrogant,” A middle-aged man sneered.
Beside the middle-aged man, a young man with a sharp mouth and ape-like cheeks said in a strange tone, “He’s just a rookie. He doesn’t know the rules of our circle yet. Don’t cry when you suffer later, kid.”
When the burly man heard this, he immediately revealed a fierce expression and shouted at Shen Fei, “Brat, do you know what this place is for?”
Shen Fei curled his lips and said, “What? I thought we were here to buy some donkeys.”
At this moment, a man looked at Shen Fei contemptuously. “Hmph, how can the goddess, Aloy, be with someone like you?” He felt that a person like Shen Fei was unworthy of being with the goddess.
During this period of time, Aloy’s fame had grown, and many young masters had their eyes on her. However, due to her father’s authority, they did not dare to be too blatant about it. But today, the gloating man felt that he had to teach Shen Fei a lesson.
Shen Fei glanced sideways at this person. “Who are you?”
“I’m called Chen Hai. Where are your manners?” The young man said proudly.
“Chen Hai?” Shen Fei repeated to himself.
“Heh, are you afraid now, kid? If you know what’s good for you, you’ll get lost now. Otherwise, I’ll kill you!” Chen Hai shouted arrogantly.
Shen Fei shook his head and said with a hint of annoyance, “Sigh… Are young people nowadays all so hot-tempered?”
“The hell, you still dare to lecture me?!” Chen Hai flew into a rage and threw a punch at Shen Fei.
However, before his fist could get close to Shen Fei, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. Then, his entire body flew backward like he was riding on clouds.
“Oof! Cough, cough…!” Chen Hai fell to the ground and could not help but spit out blood. He stared at Shen Fei in shock. “How… How can this be?”
He clearly did not use any mystical power to attack, so why did he suddenly get injured? And it was such a heavy blow!
Shen Fei snorted coldly and said, “You’re courting death. If you dare to provoke me again, I will cripple you.”
His voice was bone-chilling, scaring Chen Hai so much that his entire body trembled.
“Hmph, I’ll admit, you’ve got some balls!” Chen Hai glared at Shen Fei fiercely, then crawled up miserably and ran into the spirit beast base. It looked very much like he was fleeing.
When everyone saw this, they immediately began to discuss.
“Haha, even Chen Hai has his moments!”
“How dare such a small fry act so impudently in front of us!”
“What a joke! Are the beast tamers here idiots? How could they let such a person enter the spirit beast base?”
Although they did not dare to openly mock Shen Fei again, they did not lower their voices while talking to their friends about him. Shen Fei only shrugged at this and ignored them.
He tilted his head and looked at Aloy. “Let’s go.”
He tugged on her arm, and they walked to the entrance of the fifth floor.
The fourth floor of the spirit beast base had all kinds of training equipment, while the fifth floor was the place to cultivate spirit beasts.
When Shen Fei and Aloy arrived at the fifth floor, the first thing they saw was a huge arena.
Three spirit beasts were standing inside the stage. One was a Liger Beast hybrid beast, one was a Magiflame Dragonhawk, and one was… It was some kind of water-attribute beast.
Water-attribute beasts were very aggressive. If they had been raised in captivity in the base, it would definitely cause quite a bit of trouble in the future.
However, Shen Fei was not in a hurry to choose. Instead, he observed it with interest.
The Magiflame Dragonhawk was glaring at the Liger Beast with hatred. It turned out that the Magiflame Dragonhawk and the Liger Beast were neighbors. These two beasts liked to fight for territory.
This time, the cause of the squabble seemed to be because one of them had snatched a piece of food from the other.
The Liger Beast was very lucky. It had caught a little snakelet beast by chance.
