Chapter 417 - 417 A Half-dead Hoofed Soul Beast

417 A Half-dead Hoofed Soul Beast

Its body, which was as large as a calf, started rolling and surging with a dense flaming aura. It was as if the Hoofed Soul Beast was about to transform.

Shen Fei said just as much, “This guy is about to transform.”

“What should we do?” Aloy watched the Hoofed Soul Beast solemnly.

The Hoofed Soul Beast’s body suddenly flared out. The flaming aura spread for hundreds of meters and incinerated the surrounding vegetation. The temperature in the area skyrocketed.

“Oh no, hurry up and run!” Aloy’s expression changed and she turned to flee. However, she had yet to take a step when she felt a terrifying sense of danger.

The Hoofed Soul Beast’s body shot out dozens of fiery pillars that bombarded Aloy’s body. She was immediately sent flying, and she smashed into a huge rock as she crashed to the ground.

Once more, her face and mouth became decorated with red as Aloy went through the familiar motions of coughing up blood. Her face was extremely pale, and she was severely injured.

“Aloy!” Shen Fei’s expression turned dark, and he took out two healing pills for Aloy to consume.

He picked her up and prepared to leave with her when the Hoofed Soul Beast let out another intimidating roar. Then, its aura became even more fearsome. Its eyes stared fixedly at Shen Fei for a while before it suddenly began to charge at him.

“Flame Owl, Blazing Charge!” Shen Fei commanded.

The Flame Owl flapped its wings and a terrifying wave of flames swept out, carrying with it an aura that threatened to destroy everything. It instantly devoured the Hoofed Soul Beast.

At this time, Aloy recovered after taking the pill. Her expression was extremely dark when she saw the scene in front of her. “We’re done for,” Aloy said in a depressed manner.

“Don’t worry, we’ll be fine! ” Shen Fei comforted her.

Luo Ying called out, “Shen Fei, Aloy, the two of you have your spirit beasts attack from behind the Hoofed Soul Beast, I’ll attack from the front.”

“Got it!” Shen Fei nodded.

Soon, they controlled their spirit beasts to attack from behind the Hoofed Soul Beast.

Boom, boom!

A series of thunderclaps sounded from behind the Hoofed Soul Beast. Then, endless lightning struck down. The Hoofed Soul Beast’s body was charred black and its defense was completely broken.

Then, the Flame Eating Owl flapped its wings and scorching flames flared out. The flames released by the Flame Owl were even more terrifying than before, and they engulfed the Hoofed Soul Beast.

“Is it dead?” At this moment, Shen Fei and the others watched the flames with serious looks and fearful eyes.

“No, it’s still alive,” Luo Ying said in a whisper.

Then, the flames gradually dissipated. The Hoofed Soul Beast appeared once more. However, it was on the verge of death. The feathers on its body were scorched by the flames and its body was a burnt mess. Moreover, this Hoofed Soul Beast’s body had also suffered a fatal injury—many of its bones were broken. It would not be able to withstand the Flame Owl’s next attack.

Shen Fei’s expression turned cold as he said, “Destroy it now!”

He summoned a sacred weapon and infused elemental power into its source. In an instant, an extremely terrifying energy erupted from the sacred sword and shocking sword Qi interwove.

Wherever the sword Qi passed, the space was destroyed inch by inch, forming a black hole.

“Kill!” Shen Fei screamed.

The sacred sword source exploded with terrifying power immediately and shot toward the Hoofed Soul Beast. The power of this sword was extremely powerful, it tore through the air, and it could cut through the sky

In the blink of an eye, the sacred sword stabbed into the Hoofed Soul Beast and pierced its body. The Hoofed Soul Beast’s body stiffened. Then, its eyes widened, revealing a resentful look.

Soon, the Hoofed Soul Beast’s enormous body exploded. It turned into a rain of fire that filled the sky. Shen Fei and the others had won this battle.

Luo Ying rounded on Qian Yu and began to nag him, “You! How can you be stubborn? What if we came a moment too late for you!”

He snorted in reproach. At this moment, the corner of Qian Yu’s mouth was stained with blood because he had been injured.

Qian Yu had risked himself for Shen Fei and Aloy to buy time to escape by intervening in the battle with the Hoofed Soul Beast. In the end, he got injured instead.

“I… I know I was wrong.” Qian Yu curled his lips and whispered.

“You…” Luo Ying shook her head, looking disappointed. “Let’s go back to the base.”

…

The four of them returned to the base. As soon as they arrived, someone from the team came to give a report. “We have a problem. According to the data, the beast horde will erupt in two days!”

“What?!” Hearing his words, Aloy grimaced. She did not expect the exotic beast horde to come so early.

“Looks like I can only put plans into motion early.” Luo Ying sighed.

“The exotic beast horde is coming early. I’m afraid we’ll be under a lot of pressure. It might even affect our cultivation,” Aloy said with a frown.

“In that case, we should take countermeasures in advance. I believe that with the strength of the four of us, there will definitely be no problems.”

“Even if we really encounter any danger, we still have a way to escape. At most, we can retreat in advance,” Aloy said lightly.

“You’re right.” Luo Ying nodded.

…

The next day, in the evening, the moon was bright and the stars were few.

“The exotic beast horde was actually brought forward…”

Shen Fei and the others sat in the tent, and their expressions were quite glum.

“We have to make preparations in advance,” Luo Ying said.

“Yes, I’ll talk to the school. The school will arrange for students to come here. This way, we’ll have enough manpower to deal with the horde,” Shen Fei said.

“Yeah.” Luo Ying nodded.

A night passed by quickly. The next morning, everyone woke up early.

“Come with me quickly.” Luo Ying said as Shen Fei and Aloy woke up.

“What happened?” Shen Fei said.

“The school has already arranged for a group of students to come here!” Luo Ying said.

“What do we need to do?” Aloy asked.

“You guys shall be responsible for the safety of this batch of students. Remember not to let them suffer any losses,” Luo Ying said.

“Understood.” Shen Fei nodded.

They left the base after the meeting.

…

There were five off-road vehicles parked outside the wormhole. The vehicles were filled with people. There were men and women, old and young.

They were specially recruited students who were sent here to help. They were still cultivating back in the academy, but because the exotic beast horde had arrived early, these students were rushed over.

They had received orders to rush here to participate in guarding against the exotic beast horde. For the academy to send them so swiftly, whoever sent the orders was most likely someone of high rank and status.

Luo Ying looked at these people and said, “Hello, everyone. I’m Luo Ying, one of your mentors this time. I’m sure everyone knows that the beast horde is about to erupt. The scale of this exotic beast horde is very large. I hope everyone will work together. This is why we must unite as one and tide over this crisis!”
