Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future-Chapter 377 - Die Or Be Crippled

377 Die Or Be Crippled

After that, Aloy walked onto the stage.

Her opponent was an Overlord-rank beast: the Rock Scorpion.

The Rock Scorpion was a scorpion-type beast that specialized in using poison.

“Hiss…”

!!

Seeing Aloy appear, the Rock Scorpion immediately assumed a battle stance and stuck out its red tongue. It exuded a dangerous aura. Its bloodthirsty and sinister scarlet eyes watched Aloy, and everyone else felt a shudder.

The Rock Scorpion’s head and tail were grayish-brown. The tail was poised, ready to strike. It also had eight tiny legs on its back.

“Hiss, hiss!”

The Rock Scorpion bared its fangs and teeth, looking extremely ferocious.

“Divine Fire Crow, come out and fight.” Aloy summoned her spirit beast.

A ball of blue flames suddenly appeared and turned into a crow that hovered in front of Aloy.

This was Aloy’s newest spirit beast, the Divine Fire Crow.

“Caw!” Seeing the Rock Scorpion, the Divine Fire Crow chirped excitedly. It flapped its wings and let out a clear buzzing sound.

Immediately after, the Divine Fire Crow swooped down sharply.

“Hiss, hiss!”

The Rock Scorpion became furious when it saw the enemy approaching. It swung its thick tail wildly at the Divine Fire Crow to whack it. The huge tail of the Rock Scorpion contained terrifying power. Once a beast was hit, it would either die or be crippled!

The Divine Fire Raven reacted very quickly. It dodged left and right, easily avoiding the Rock Scorpion’s attack. It was untouchable.

The Rock Scorpion roared angrily and attacked continuously, but it could not do anything to the Divine Fire Crow.

The Divine Fire Crow’s movements were agile and fast. It flew high up into the sky. After circling in the air for a while, it suddenly changed its direction and dove at the Rock Scorpion.

The Divine Fire Crow’s speed was even more terrifying than before. It was like a meteor streaking across the air.

“Divine Fire Crow, use Ashes of Rebirth,” Aloy said.

The Divine Fire Crow immediately released its fire-element Qi and fused it into a blistering hot fireball. The fireball expanded rapidly, turning into a huge fireball ten meters across within moments.

With the fireball ready, the Divine Fire Crow charged at the Rock Scorpion.

“Hiss, hiss!” The Rock Scorpion panicked when it saw the huge fireball. It swung its thick tail with all its might, trying to force the fireball back.

The Rock Scorpion had just waved its thick tail when the fireball fell. In an instant, a deafening explosion resounded throughout the entire square.

“Hiss, hiss!”

The huge body of the Rock Scorpion trembled violently. Its abdomen was charred and bleeding. The Rock Scorpion was in great pain.

Seizing this opportunity, the Divine Fire Crow flew into the air and flapped its huge wings, shooting out scorching flames at it. The flames hit the eyes of the Rock Scorpion dead on, burning its exposed flesh and causing it even more pain.

The Rock Scorpion’s eyes were destroyed. It could only lay on the ground and wail in pain.

“Hiss…” The Rock Scorpion struggled for a while before it fainted.

“The winner is Aloy!” the referee announced.

The audience cheered.

“Yay! Goddess Aloy is so awesome!”

After Aloy won, she walked toward Shen Fei.

“Congratulations.” Shen Fei smiled as he greeted her.

“Thank you.” Aloy nodded slightly.

At this moment, the referee’s voice sounded again, “Next, Shen Fei, Aloy, Xia’er, Li Yuan, Zhang Fanglan, and Lilian, please proceed to the next segment.”

This time, the six of them needed to enter the mysterious place arranged by the school and head to the next part of the tournament.

…

The next location was a cave located deep within the school.

Shen Fei followed the others as they advanced slowly.

The cave was so dark that they could not even see their own fingers. The lighting hanging on the surrounding walls hardly gave off any light.

The cave was very wide, and there was nothing inside. However, when Shen Fei passed by a stone pillar, he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance that seemed refreshing. His spirits were lifted, and he hurriedly followed the scent.

At the top of the stone pillar was a fist-sized night-luminescent pearl. The night-luminescent pearl flickered with a pale yellow light.

“A night-luminescent pearl?” Seeing the night-luminescent pearl, Shen Fei’s eyes were filled with interest and he quickly walked over.

The night-luminescent pearl was the best aid for refining weapons, and it was priceless. Shen Fei did not expect to see one here today.

“Eh? Why is it dark gold?” Shen Fei touched the pearl and found that the color seemed a little strange.

“Hmph, you haven’t even seen one before?” Xia’er mocked, and looked at Shen Fei with disdain. “Country bumpkin!”

“I thought it was something rare, but it turned out to be a broken stone.” Zhang Fanglan pursed her lips in disgust.

Li Yuan did not say anything, only focusing on his journey. Obviously, he was not interested in the night-luminescent pearl.

Lilian frowned and reminded them, “Night-luminescent pearls are treasures used for refining weapons. They’re very valuable.”

Xia’er glanced at Shen Fei with disdain and said, “Hehe, do you know the value of a night-luminescent pearl?”

“The night-luminescent pearl is indeed a precious material for refining weapons. It has a strong nourishing effect and can improve the quality of weapons,” Aloy said. “Although this night-luminescent pearl is not precious, if we’re lucky, we can still sell it for a few million.”

“A few million?” Lilian was surprised.

“Hehe, poor thing.” Xia’er rolled his eyes.

...

“Alright, stop arguing. Next, the two of you need to enter the forest to find a high-grade Count-rank exotic beast. Then, bring back the heart of the beast. Team up in pairs. The first pair to complete the mission wins,” the referee shouted.

Hearing this, Xia’er looked at Li Yuan. “You and I will be in the same team.”

Soon afterward, the six of them entered the forest one after another.

The forest was filled with a strong herbal fragrance, and the air was especially fresh and comfortable. It was very beautiful, and all kinds of vegetation thrived here.

There was a lake in the middle of the forest. The water rippled and reflected the blue sky. It was a spectacular sight. There were many exotic flowers and plants growing by the lake, and their fragrance filled the air.

Shen Fei was admiring the scenery while observing his surroundings.

Suddenly, several figures dashed out from the dense forest, full of killing intent.

“What are they?!” Lilian was stunned and her face turned pale.

“They’re mutated beasts!” Aloy shouted.

“Roar!” Dozens of huge exotic beasts crawled out of the forest, baring their fangs and revealing fierce looks in their eyes.

Wolves roared, wild dogs barked, pheasants cried, insects and ants chittered… The area became noisy and chaotic in an instant.

...

Shen Fei and the others were so focused on the exotic beasts that they did not notice the approaching danger.
