Chapter 459 - 459 Divine Rainbow Phoenix
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Fei’s body flashed as he rushed out of the Demonic Crystal Lizard’s attack range.
“That was close!” Shen Fei said a little fearfully. He was fortunate that his speed was fast enough. Otherwise, he would probably have become the Demonic Crystal Lizard’s food.
“Huh?” However, Shen Fei suddenly frowned. In that moment, he vaguely sensed an incredible aura that was rapidly approaching him. He turned around to look.
It was a Seven-colored Divine Phoenix! This was a higher-grade Emperor-rank beast!
It looked like a small bird, but it was more beautiful than ordinary birds. Its feathers were gorgeous, and it gave off the feeling of holiness and nobility. Its eyes were light purple, releasing a soul-stirring charm that could make anyone’s heart tremble and not dare to look directly at it.
“A Seven-colored Divine Phoenix!” Shen Fei’s eyes widened and his pupils shrank. “I never would have expected to see such a rare beast here!”
In the Continent of Mauling, beasts with seven colors were extremely rare, maybe even extinct. Seven-colored beasts were known to be descendants of divine beasts.
Whoosh! The Seven-colored Divine Phoenix flapped its wings and dove in like a falling meteor.
“Seven-colored Divine Phoenix, use Melody of the Night.” Wang Yufei ordered, and his eyes flashed with excitement.
“Chirp!” Hearing Wang Yufei’s order, the Seven-colored Divine Phoenix let out a melodious phoenix cry. A resplendent purple light suddenly illuminated the entire swamp. In an instant, the surrounding area turned purple. The purple light made everything look deep and menacing, and it was scary to watch.
The air began to fluctuate violently. And ripples spread out one after another with the Seven-colored Divine Phoenix as the center.
The exotic beasts in the area were all affected. Their heads became drowsy, their attacks stopped, and their speed slowed down significantly. The Seven-colored Divine Phoenix’s deterrence had actually caused hundreds of exotic beasts to act as though they were caught in a quagmire.
Shen Fei’s eyes were wide open as he said in surprise, “As expected of a descendant of a divine beast. It can actually control the wills of exotic beasts!”
He had never heard of such a strange method. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed that it was real.
“Although the Seven-colored Divine Phoenix’s attack is quite terrifying, it won’t last long against so many exotic beasts. We have to finish them off as soon as possible!” Wang Yufei said solemnly. His feet tapped the ground lightly, and his body shot up.
Wang Yufei moved quickly. He stretched out his arm and gripped his spirit weapon tightly. He swung his sword ruthlessly, and the sword light he sent out cut through the air. Wang Yufei was an Emperor-tier Beastmaster, and thus, with a single sword strike, dozens of exotic beasts were killed, not leaving behind even their bones.
Shen Fei did not stay idle either. “Flame Owl, use Meteor Shower!”
Meteor Shower was a Flame Owl skill. When used, the area within a kilometer-wide radius would be set ablaze as though it was hell on earth.
Fwoosh!
The Flame Owl’s eyes turned red, and it spat out flames that condensed into fireballs in the air. The fireballs all came crashing down and smashed into the exotic beasts. Rumbling explosions thundered throughout the area. Flames flew everywhere and thick smoke billowed out.
The Flame Owl’s Meteor Shower covered a very wide area—over a thousand square meters—and enveloped the whole swamp. Under the Flame Owl’s insane onslaught of fireballs, the exotic beasts were not able to withstand it at all and died in the end.
“Coo, coo!”
The Flame Owl cried at the sky, its scarlet eyes watched the Demonic Crystal Lizard in the distance and revealed a bloodthirsty look.
Whoosh! Shen Fei’s figure flashed and instantly appeared in front of the Demonic Crystal Lizard. “You guys stall the other beasts for me, I’ll take care of this beast first,” he said.
The other exotic beasts roared furiously, vowing to stop Shen Fei. Wang Yufei’s lips curled into a smirk as he said mockingly, “Kid, don’t force yourself. This guy is really tough to deal with. We should be able to kill it if we join forces.”
Shen Fei shook his head and smiled. “This beast is indeed too strong. If you want, we’ll switch places. You try dealing with it first, and I’ll come and help as soon as I’m done with the other beasts.”
Wang Yufei shrugged his shoulders as if he did not care. “I’ll test its strength, then!”
In the next moment, a deafening thunder suddenly came from the depths of the forest.
Rumble!
A dark cloud spread out over the forest canopy, blocking out the sky and the sunlight. It spread toward Shen Fei and Wang Yufei at an astonishing speed.
“Oh no! It’s a swarm of poisonous insects!” Wang Yufei’s face immediately darkened as he identified the dark cloud.
“Run!” Shen Fei hurriedly shouted. He knew how terrifying poisonous insects were. If the insects engulfed them, they were as good as dead.
Wang Yufei did not say anything more. His figure turned into a blur as he sped off.
“Argh! Help!”
The poisonous insects swept over, and miserable wails rose and fell one after another as some of the cultivators and exotic beasts were killed. Many more scattered in all directions.
The poisonous insects were so fast that their shocking numbers spread over a large area within seconds.
Suddenly, there was a hissing of snakes that came from the depths of the forest.
“This time it’s venomous snakes! And a lot of them!”
Shen Fei gasped in fright and cold sweat began to soak his back. He hurriedly circulated the Mystic Nether Mantra, and a white energy shield wrapped around his body, isolating him from the corrosion that the venomous snakes were spitting out.
Wang Yufei’s face was pale as he said in panic, “Damn it, why are there suddenly so many venomous snakes here! This is a nightmare!”
There were too many venomous snakes. Even though he was an Emperor-tier Beastmaster, he was still terrified when faced with such an overwhelming number of venomous snakes.
“Hurry up and leave! Their target is you!” Shen Fei shouted and hurriedly went to Wang Yufei’s side.
There were both poisonous insects and venomous snakes, and Shen Fei was worried that Wang Yufei would be bitten by either of them.
Wang Yufei felt a bit relieved when Shen Fei came to his side. The two of them tried their best to escape, but the poisonous snakes still tried to lunge at them.
One after another, green snakes flew past them, and their stench made Shen Fei nauseous.
“Damn it! What the hell is this? It’s so nauseating and painful!” Wang Yufei grimaced in disgust, and his body was in pain. His skin was emitting a black liquid—an obvious sign that he had been poisoned.
“The poison of these snakes is incredibly potent.” Shen Fei continued to dodge the snakes’ attacks while looking for a way out.
The attacks of the snakes became more ferocious, and their numbers also increased. Wang Yufei’s face was becoming paler. The poison in his body was becoming more unbearable, and his body was gradually losing its strength.
If this continued, it would not take long before he was dead.
At this moment, Shen Fei recalled what his ex-classmate, Long Xiaohu, had once said about these beasts. ‘This is a lethal Viper Horde! It’s best to quickly take an antidote pill, or else the victim won’t last long.’
“A Viper Horde…” When he recalled this, Shen Fei’s nerves tensed up.
“Their poison can actually make my organs ache.” Shen Fei’s brows furrowed tightly as his face became filled with fear. He immediately took out an antidote pill and swallowed it.
Suddenly, Wang Yufei roared angrily. The poison in his body had spread to every part of his body. His clothes had rotted away, and his muscles had begun to fester. Wang Yufei’s skin had blackened, and it was a ghastly sight. He was dripping with blood all over, and he looked extremely terrible.
Wang Yufei coughed out a mouthful of black blood. His body swayed and he almost fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Shen Fei’s expression changed and he exclaimed, “Brother Wang!”
Wang Yufei gritted his teeth and growned. “I… I can’t hold on any longer!”
