148 A Battle Of Two Beasts

“What?”

Shen Fei looked doubtfully at his Flame Owl. This was the first time it had been so wary. It seemed that the lion in front of him was truly incredible.

“Roar!” The Azure Flame Lion howled majestically. Its eyes, as large as brass bells, were fixed on the jungle in the distance. There was an inexplicable uneasiness hidden in its expression.

“It seems the opponent is also extraordinary.” Aloy squinted her eyes and looked at the shadow not far away, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Thud!

Steady footsteps echoed, and from the shadows came a black horn, as sharp as a spear. A pair of fluorescent green eyes, like flames from the netherworld, ignited from the darkness.

“Growl!” The lion lowered its head, and its low growl was mixed with a trace of fear. Sharp steel claws shot out from the gaps in its paws.

The unfamiliar steps continued to approach. The lionesses that were lazing on the pile of treasure turned over one after another, stretching their necks and warily watching their opponents in the shadows.

Stomp! With heavy footsteps, another exotic beast vying for the leader position appeared in front of everyone.

“Baa!”

A black-spotted Demonic Antelope with a mighty horn emerged from the darkness. At the same time, the other restless exotic beasts that were still trying to fight for the leader’s position immediately scattered in fear.

The Demonic Antelope’s black hooves glowed in the moonlight. It raised its head confidently, and its horn, which was made of black jade, reflected a colorful luster.

“Roar!” The Azure Flame Lion brandished its sharp claws without hesitation, and the mane on its neck expanded to three times its original size, making it look even more majestic.

Facing such a strong enemy, the Demonic Antelope snorted disdainfully and blew out two white-hot streams of air from its nose. Even though it was half the size of the Azure Flame Lion, there was no fear in its heart at all!

Aloy looked at the Demonic Antelope and muttered to herself excitedly, “That one.”

Although the final result was not out yet, Aloy had already made her decision: regardless of whether the Demonic Antelope would win or lose to the Azure Flame Lion in the end, she would take it!

“The Demonic Antelope? Why don’t we wait a little longer?” Shen Fei frowned. “The battle between the two beasts hasn’t ended yet. Why don’t we wait for them to fight until both sides are injured, and then subdue the strongest one among them!”

“This idea sounds good, but will we make it in time?” Aloy pinched her fingers and looked hesitant. “Blockhead is right behind us.”

“Just wait for a while, you have nothing to lose.” Shen Fei’s expression was determined. His eyes were bright as he looked at the two exotic beasts that were still in a deadlock.

‘Isn’t it simple?’

“If Lear wants to subdue those two beasts in front of us, we’ll get rid of them in one breath before he can get them. This way, at the very least, we’ll be able to settle the exotic beast horde issue. It’s not a loss.”

“That’s also true…” Qian Yu stroked his chin and nodded thoughtfully.

“Then let’s leave it at that.” Aloy frowned and crouched down even further in the grass.

The Flame Owl perched on Shen Fei’s shoulder yawned lazily as it watched the two exotic beasts in front of it.

“Baa!” The Demonic Antelope raised its black jade horn fearlessly.

“Roar!” The Azure Flame Lion lowered its body and carefully took a step back. His claws were ready.

The battle was imminent.

Just the collision of their gazes caused sparks to fly between the two exotic beasts. In the blink of an eye, the horn of the Demonic Antelope and the sharp steel claws of the Azure Flame Lion collided.

“What incredible speed!” Aloy exclaimed with wide eyes.

“Roar!” The Azure Flame Lion roared at the Demonic Antelope. It raised its claws and ruthlessly slashed at the Demonic Antelope’s head!

The Demonic Antelope straightened its neck, and under the moonlight, the fine hair all over its body seemed to be covered with a layer of cold metallic light.

Clink!

The moment the Azure Flame Lion’s steel claws touched its fine hairs, the sparks from the friction between the two illuminated the shadowy forest in an instant.

“Roar!” The lion roared fiercely, and the intense sound waves reverberated throughout the forest, shaking everything in the surroundings.

Shen Fei and Aloy subconsciously covered their ears.

“That lion’s strength seems impressive. Aren’t you going to take them all under your wing, Aloy?”

“I want to, but I can’t do it.” Seeing the Azure Flame Lion’s fighting spirit growing stronger, Aloy shook her head in regret. “The battle between them will only stop when one of them dies. Otherwise, I’d also like to take them both.”

As soon as Aloy finished speaking, the blue flames on the Azure Flame Lion’s body burned even brighter. The silver-gray steel claws were instantly heated up by the Azure Flame Lion’s extremely high temperature.

The Demonic Antelope did not seem to be afraid at all. It suddenly shook its head, and a strange green-gray light appeared on its black jade horn.

“Baa!”

A vague trace of killing intent flashed in the Demonic Antelope’s fluorescent green eyes. It raised the huge horn on its head and charged toward the Azure Flame Lion.

“Roar!”

The Azure Flame Lion shook its body fearlessly, and blue flames erupted from its body! The fierce fire made Shen Fei’s Flame Owl shake its wings comfortably. The surrounding air also gradually became hot and dry as the two exotic beasts collided.

Qian Yu marveled at the strength of these two exotic beasts, but his words could not help but contain a sense of pity, “The strengths of these two exotic beasts are not bad. Unfortunately, only one can be tamed in the end.”

“It can’t be helped. This is a battle between beasts. In the end, only the strongest one will be left standing.” Aloy shook her head in heartache. “Only the strongest leader can be chosen through killing.

“Don’t be fooled by the size of the Demonic Antelope. It appears much smaller than the Azure Flame Lion, but if it dares to challenge that Azure Flame Lion, its strength must already be far beyond most exotic beasts.”

“Roar!”

The Azure Flame Lion stretched out its red-hot claws and ruthlessly struck the horn of the Demonic Antelope. But the moment its claws touched the horn, an oily green gas shot out from the tip.

The Azure Flame Lion was unable to dodge in time, and suddenly inhaled all the oily green gas into its body.
