The Shadow Devil Fox slowly approached Jun Qiyan, its ice-cold, shiny scales faintly reflecting light. Its blood-red eyes were staring fixedly at her, as if warning her to distance herself from the Elemental Training Grass.

However, this Elemental Training Grass was the most important thing to concoct the Essence Nurturing Pills, and they could only be concocted by the top tier level 2 alchemist – how could she give up the chance to concoct them just because of this Shadow Devil Fox?

Jun Qiyan silently swallowed his saliva as he watched the Dark Shadow Devil Fox's dark red tongue recklessly sticking out of its mouth, while scarlet liquid continuously flowed out from its mouth.

It was unknown who had been injured by this beast, but Jun Qiyan knew that it was very likely that she would be the next one.

But danger was danger. The third round of the competition was still ongoing, and the Elemental Training Grass was already right in front of her. She couldn't possibly leave just because she couldn't find anything, right?

Besides, there was also that proud young mistress of the Su family who was waiting to see him make a fool of himself!

At this moment, Jun Qiyan no longer cared about being afraid. She took out the dagger to prevent any mishaps. While directing her spirit energy, she welcomed the Shadow Devil Fox head on.

Back then, when he was training under the Saint Silkworm, he had never encountered Shadow Devil Fox and Spiritual Beast. The top of his head was a little too big, so it didn't seem like there was anything to be afraid of.

As Jun Qianyan thought this, she couldn't help but quicken her pace. After all, she was a quick and decisive person, so whether it was using force or magic to deal with this beast, she had to hurry up, or else she would fall because of insufficient stamina.

Seeing that Jun Qiyan was the first to rush towards him, the Shadow Devil Fox was no longer polite. It raised its head and let out a furious roar —

The Shadow Devil Fox was originally guarding the Elemental Training Grass and resting in peace when it was suddenly disturbed by Jun Qiyan, who had barged in.

Forget it!

Yet, at this moment, she actually still dared to provoke him. Even if he did not have any intelligence, he still knew the most basic point of all was to resist.

The Shadow Devil Fox arched its back before Jun Qiyan could even get close to it. It seemed as if a spring that had been suppressed for a long time had been loosened. Then, it suddenly rushed towards Jun Qianyan.

Jun Qiyan dodged to the side and then fell back to the ground. She then released a ball of fire to burn the Shadow Devil Fox.

However, the moment the ball of fire touched the Shadow Devil Fox's scales, it was as if water had touched the feathers of a bird. Not to mention that it had started to burn.

"What the hell is this?"

Jun Qiyan was shocked, he had never expected that the scales on this beast's body would actually be immune to fire.

Jun Qianyan gave a low "tsk" before quickly turning around. Once again, he turned around and faced the Shadow Devil Fox.

The Shadow Devil Fox did not have the time to dodge. After being kicked by Jun Qianyan, its body fell to the side.

The ground had caved in, and falling leaves flew everywhere, bringing with them rubble.

The enormous Dark Shadow Devil Fox slowly stood up, raising itself up high. After letting out a furious roar, it charged towards the overconfident intruder.

Although it could be considered flexible, it was still a bit inconvenient for the huge body to move around. Therefore, Jun Qianyan relied on her advantage to quickly appear in front of the Shadow Devil Fox and fiercely stabbed out with her blade.

However, Jun Qiyan was once again stunned.

He had used seventy to eighty percent of his strength, yet he had only managed to pierce through her skin?

The blade had made a small cut on the Dark Shadow Devil Fox's body. Not only was the Dark Shadow Devil Fox not severely injured, it had even angered it!

After the Shadow Devil Fox was stabbed by Jun Qiyan's blade, its huge body started to twist crazily. Even though Jun Qiyan's movements were nimble and agile, it was still too late for her to dodge.

"Hiss —"

Jun Qiyan covered her wound, but couldn't stop the blood from pouring out. She borrowed the force of the Shadow Devil Fox's attack to leap high into the air, and landed on the trunk of another tree.

Seeing that the Shadow Devil Fox had opened its bloody mouth, Jun Qianyan suddenly leapt forward, actually heading towards the large snake's mouth. In her hand, there was a fireball as well as the dagger.

Amidst the earth-shattering roars, the Shadow Devil Fox's mouth was dripping with blood. Suddenly, a wound appeared and a fire was starting to ignite in its mouth as smoke began to rise from it.

As Jun Qianyan double-clicked, the Shadow Devil Fox's massive mouth was in extreme pain. Its entire body was constantly swaying, and its body was frantically rolling on the ground.

Perhaps the Shadow Devil Fox had been a tyrant here for a long time, but it had never been provoked in such a long time and had never been seriously injured like it was now.

The Shadow Devil Fox chased Jun Qianyan closely, pouncing towards her again and again. Seeing the opportunity, Jun Qiyan raised the dagger in her hand and flew towards the Shadow Devil Fox's right eye that was as red as blood. Without missing a beat, the dagger stabbed straight into the Shadow Devil Fox's right eye!

The dagger, which had almost no handle, was quickly pulled out.

The huge monster was immediately enraged by the attack. It suddenly flung its head and roared at Jun Qiyan, who was lying on the tree trunk. It rushed towards her, enduring the sharp pain coming from its right eye.

Jun Qiyan crawled up and quickly hid behind a tree trunk. Then, she heard a deafening rumble from above —

The Shadow Devil Fox crashed headfirst into a thick tree trunk, causing a large portion of the shiny black scales on its head to fall off. Blood kept oozing out, and at that moment, the tree was snapped in half and fell to the side.

The Shadow Devil Fox was also dazzled by its own collision. It lost its strength for an instant and Jun Qiyan finally saw the opportunity. She rushed out from the side, gripped her dagger tightly in her backhand, and fiercely stabbed the dagger into the wound between the Shadow Devil Fox's eyes.

The Shadow Devil Fox could no longer maintain its might and immediately became dispirited. Its huge head and upper body heavily fell onto the muddy ground, which had been wet by the rain. The claws it had raised a moment ago had also heavily smashed into the ground.

Jun Qiyan landed in front of the Shadow Devil Fox, gasping for breath. She tried to pull out the scalpel with all her might, but found that she couldn't do anything. She could only give up.

Jun Qiyan did not have the time to think too much about it. After recovering from her daze, she immediately went back to the Elemental Training Grass and forcefully pulled it up along with its roots.

After he had completed his mission, Jun Qiyan was returning to the original route. When he passed by a stream, he opened up a tattered wound and looked at the tiny scratches that covered his entire body. He could only tear off a piece of cloth, soaking in the stream, and slowly clean the wound.

Her eyebrows scrunched together in pain. She didn't even get to put on her clothes when she suddenly felt a blow to her back. She was caught off guard and fell into the stream.

But that was not the most deadly thing.

The calm surface of the stream was actually surging. It was so fast that Jun Qiyan was directly flushed downstream.

Jun Qiyan choked on the water as he ran downstream.

When Jun Qiyan saw that the stream suddenly seemed to have no end and was only connected to the sky, she was so frightened that her complexion abruptly changed. 'This isn't a stream, this is the upper reaches of the waterfall!'

Jun Qiyan was about to cast his magic, but it was too late.

Following a shriek, Jun Qiyan was washed off the waterfall and disappeared without a trace.
