Chapter 98 - 98 The Dangerous Exotic Beast
98 The Dangerous Exotic Beast
In just a moment, the strange beast’s head tilted to the side, and it fell to the ground, twitching slightly.
Looking at the dead exotic beast in front of it, the Ice Spirit’s eyes revealed some pity.
“You did well.” Aloy patted the Ice Spirit’s back in comfort. “There will be many things waiting for you in the future. You have to quickly adapt and become stronger as soon as possible.”
After saying this, Aloy turned to look at the exotic beast corpse that was still warm. She had another purpose for coming to the wormhole this time, other than to confirm the current situation.
From her storage ring, Aloy took out a glass knife that was emitting a mauve-colored light. She held the knife in her hand and made a simple gesture. In an instant, a strong elemental power burst out from the knife in her hand. Aloy ruthlessly stabbed the small knife in her hand into the back of the giant exotic beast and slashed down with all her might!
Slash!
A huge opening appeared on the back of the giant beast, and a strong smell of blood spread out.
“Whine…” When Ice Spirit smelled the blood, its eyes instantly widened, and saliva began to drip from the corners of its mouth.
Aloy reached out and pierced through the gaps between the ribs, pulling out a pitch-black heart from the behemoth’s body! Black blood pumped out of the heart—as large as a head—like a fountain.
Badump! Badump!
Even though the beast was dead, the black heart was still beating vigorously in Aloy’s hand.
The Ice Spirit’s eyes were fixed on the black heart in Aloy’s hand, and its saliva was almost dripping to the ground.
“Come on.” Aloy handed the heart to the Ice Spirit. “Eat it.”
“Mrowr!”
As soon as it got Aloy’s permission, the Ice Spirit quickly came over and sniffed the heart delicately. Then, it opened its mouth and chomped down on the heart that Aloy offered.
“Eat, eat.”
Aloy smiled as she watched the Ice Spirit as it gobbled down the heart. This unique cultivation method was only discovered by a division of Beastmasters after the appearance of the wormholes.
Eating a part of an exotic beast could make one’s spirit beast stronger. It was also possible to obtain a portion of the exotic beast’s power. However, with the passage of time, this strength it obtained would gradually dissipate. At that time, the spirit beast would need to eat the flesh of exotic beasts again to regain power.
Although Aloy did not want to admit it, as an experienced Beastmaster, she knew she had no way of fighting Lear head-on.
If she wanted to have the power to go against Lear in a short time, she could only use this method first.
Chew, chew…
The Ice Spirit, which was initially averse to approaching the exotic beast, changed completely after smelling the alluring aroma of the black organ.
The moment it took its first bite, it could not stop. Its once white fur was gradually covered with traces of black. The once beautiful pair of ice wings on its back also gradually dyed with a thin layer of black.
In less than three minutes, the heart was completely consumed by the Ice Spirit.
“Mrowr!”
The Ice Spirit wagged its tail at Aloy energetically, looking at the uneaten remains of the exotic beast’s corpse.
“No.” Aloy touched the Ice Spirit’s head. “You can’t eat too much at once, you’ll die from poisoning.”
“Whine…”
Upon hearing Aloy’s words, the Ice Spirit was a little disappointed. It looked at the exotic beast’s corpse and licked his lips involuntarily.
“Glutton.” Aloy smiled and touched the Ice Spirit’s head. “After we’ve dealt with Lear, there will be plenty of exotic beasts for you to eat.”
As she spoke, she looked at the Ice Spirit with a bit of heartache. After devouring an exotic beast, a large amount of their poison would accumulate in the spirit beast’s body. Until the extinction of mankind in her previous timeline, this problem was never resolved, even with drugs.
The spirit beasts could only rely on time to slowly detoxify the poison, and the speed of detoxification also depended on the respective abilities of the spirit beasts. At the thought of this, Aloy’s heart ached even more.
If it had not been for the sake of defeating Lear, she would not have come up with such a plan!
“Let’s go, Ice Spirit!”
Aloy mounted the Ice Spirit and looked in the direction that Lear had disappeared to. This time, she definitely could not let the scourge, Lear, live!
“Mrreowr!” The Ice Spirit under Aloy immediately understood. It spread its wings and flew toward Lear’s direction.
…
‘I’m almost… Almost there!’
Shen Fei clutched the pathfinding crystal in his hand tightly. The red light from the crystal was getting shorter and shorter. He should be able to find Luo Ying soon!
“Sss… Is that you? Shen Fei?”
In the pathfinding crystal, Luo Ying’s anxious face flickered.
“It’s me. Where are you? I’m coming to save you!”
“No need, I’m very… Ksshhh… Don’t come! It’s dangerous!”
Luo Ying’s voice was muffled, Shen Fei could only hear a few words. But from those few words he heard, he knew that her situation was not good.
Shen Fei frowned and subconsciously increased his speed.
“I’ll be right there, tell me where you are!”
Luo Ying’s face flickered in the crystal. But every time she appeared, her expression became more anxious.
In an instant, the Flame Owl that perched quietly on Shen Fei’s shoulder looked into the sky and shrieked, “Coo!”
“What?” Shen Fei followed the Flame Owl’s gaze and looked up into the sky.
A huge spider-like shadow was treading the dense treetops of the jungle, looking down at Shen Fei and the Flame Owl.
‘What is that?’
He frowned subconsciously, and when he saw the spider-like shadow again, and could not help but feel fear.
The spider’s black shadow slowly rose up, its forelimbs as thick as hundred-year-old trees. It tilted its head and constantly eyed Shen Fei.
Rustle…
When Shen Fei raised his head again, the spider’s shadow was like an illusion; it instantly turned into a gust of wind and dust, and disappeared into the thicket.
“Coo!”
The Flame Owl immediately raised its battle spirit and looked around vigilantly.
Shen Fei subconsciously retreated. That huge black shadow was definitely not an illusion, but a beast that he had never seen before!
It was very likely to be a trap-type that his seniors had mentioned during the lesson. Shen Fei nervously looked at his surroundings as he retreated step by step.
There was only one thing to do in the face of such a beast: be careful.
