Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future-Chapter 337 - Revealing The Rune’s Final Secret

337 Revealing The Rune’s Final Secret

The Flame Owl’s aura also gradually strengthened, recovering to its peak.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in front of them.

Just as Aloy was about to speak, Shen Fei quickly said, “Shh, there’s movement.”

“Shen Fei, Aloy!”

They saw Luo Ying riding her spirit beast, a Cloud Eagle.

Luo Ying hurried over and scolded them, “You’re here again, you… Don’t you know how dangerous it was just now?!” Earlier, she had sensed the fluctuations in this area and was extremely worried.

Shen Fei laughed. “Alright, it’s done and we’re safe now.”

The Mystical Crocodile was dead. Although the Flame Owl was injured, it was a blessing in disguise as it was an opportunity to improve its strength.

“Is it dead?”

When he said this, Luo Ying frowned. Her eyes swept across the area, looking for the source of the previous fluctuation. Unfortunately, she did not find anything.

“Alright, I’ll take you back to the camp first. I know the purpose of your visit this time.” Luo Ying wrinkled her nose and said, “As for the other things, we’ll talk about it when we get back to camp.”

“Alright.” Shen Fei nodded. “Let’s go.”

Then, he pulled Aloy with him, and they followed Luo Ying out of the swamp. The swamp was vast and covered in miasma. There were also vicious birds in the area.

However, this place had long been a forbidden zone. Therefore, there should be no demonic beasts in this area.

As Shen Fei followed Luo Ying through the place, his eyes looked around as he muttered to himself, “This swamp is very strange.”

“Swamp? What’s so strange about it?” Aloy asked.

Luo Ying said, “The swamp is a land of Yin fiends and nurtures all living things in this category. It’s also the most suitable place for strange beasts to rest, but this swamp is very peaceful.

“There are not even any strange beasts cultivating here, which is too abnormal. The only explanation is that someone has set up a barrier here.”

Shen Fei nodded his head and listened carefully. He also felt that there was something strange about this place.

Eventually, the three of them returned to the camp.

The moment he arrived, Shen Fei saw Qian Yu and Li Ruoying. Compared to the last time he saw Li Ruoying, Shen Fei thought that she had already recovered a lot.

“While Li Ruoying was unconscious, I helped her recover with medicine,” Luo Ying said.

“Senior Qian Yu, Senior Ruoying, how are you?” Shen Fei and Aloy both said in unison.

When Qian Yu saw Shen Fei, her eyes were filled with determination.

“Shen Fei, I know what you two are here for, but other than Tao Ming, she’s the only one who can help us stop the beast horde from erupting in the runes that Tao Ming left behind.”

Shen Fei was stunned and looked at Li Ruoying.

“Because the research and development of the runes was done by Tao Ming and Li Ruoying together,” Luo Ying added.

“I see!” Hearing this, Shen Fei nodded.

Li Ruoying sat by the fire in a white dress. Her demeanor gave the impression that she was a fairy. At this moment, her brows were slightly furrowed, and her expression was solemn.

At this moment, Aloy, who was standing at the side, could not help but ask, “Senior Ruoying, can you tell me the secret of these runes? How exactly are we going to stop the exotic beast horde from erupting?”

As the reincarnate, she had to be the one to stop and resolve the beast horde. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At this moment, she understood that Tao Ming and Li Ruoying had a way to stop the beast horde. However, was Li Ruoying willing to tell her such a secret? After all, Tao Ming and Li Ruoying had a close relationship, but what about with a stranger like Aloy?

“I…” Li Ruoying’s eyes flickered, and she seemed to be struggling. In the end, she did not speak.

She wanted to help everyone overcome their difficulties. However, she was also afraid of the disaster that would befall her if she revealed the secret. f𝗿e𝗲𝘄𝚎𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫ℯl. c𝗼𝚖

Aloy sighed and said, “Senior Ruoying, don’t worry. We don’t have any ill intentions. We only want to help you.”

“Please tell us, Senior Ruoying,” Shen Fei said.

“…The art of runes all came from Old Tao,” Li Ruoying said.

“Old Tao?” Everyone was confused.

“Tao Ming is my benefactor. He taught me, so we have to respect him,” Li Ruoying explained.

Aloy looked at Li Ruoying with a serious face. “You must tell me the secret to these runes. How exactly do I stop the exotic beast horde? This is very important to me.”

Li Ruoying frowned and revealed a hesitant expression.

Seeing this, Aloy said anxiously, “Senior Ruoying, I’m begging you.”

This event had a huge impact on her. If she failed, the world might be destroyed.

Li Ruoying sighed. “You’re so persistent… Alright, I’ll tell you.”

“Thank you,” Aloy said and heaved a sigh of relief.

Li Ruoying pointed at the hill under them and said, “The runes need 108 primal crystals to form a spirit gathering array to defend against the beast horde, but there are only 24 here.”

Hearing this, Aloy frowned. “We’re still lacking 84.”

“Primal crystals are quite rare…”

Li Ruoying shook her head. “It’s not just that. We will also need a lightning rod and a sharp blade to completely seal this area. Without these two things, the array patterns can only temporarily block off a part of the beast horde.”

“But where can we get these things?” Aloy’s face was full of worry.

“Primal crystals are naturally formed, but there’s very few of them. This is the troublesome part.” Li Ruoying sighed softly. “As for the lightning rod, it’s said that only divine lightning weapons born by the heaven-and-earth energy have such divine might.

“This so-called lightning rod was a divine weapon that could be refined into a lightning dragon. It could attract lightning from the Nine Heavens to kill an enemy. However, this was too rare and they had no idea how to find it. Moreover, no one in the entire city can refine such a lightning weapon!”

Hearing this, Aloy took a deep breath. A lightning rod was a powerful treasure that could change the outcome of a battle!

Shen Fei, who had been silent this whole time, suddenly said, “I do have a way to find it.”

...

Li Ruoying’s beautiful eyes flickered with anticipation as she asked, “What is it?”

“Simply put: find a thunder-attribute divine weapon!” Shen Fei said.

“A lightning-attribute divine weapon…” Hearing this, Li Ruoying frowned. Acquiring this kind of treasure was easier said than done.

“I know there is one, but it’s a relic, and the way is treacherous. Even if someone managed to obtain it, that place is too grueling. It would be extremely difficult to return alive,” Li Ruoying said.

“Oh?” Shen Fei’s eyes narrowed slightly. This piqued his interest. He laughed. “Since that’s the case, then please lead the way, Senior Ruoying.”
