Chapter 99 - 99 Come In And Hide
99 Come In And Hide
Pitter, patter…
It suddenly began to drizzle, white raindrops falling to the ground drop by drop…
“Wait…”
Shen Fei frowned as he looked at the white silk-like objects that were gradually covering the ground.
!!
‘These aren’t raindrops, they’re spider webs! That Shadow Spider actually wants to use such a clumsy method to capture me!’
“Flame Owl!” Shen Fei waved his hand and made a prompt decision to let the Flame Owl on his shoulder fly up. “Burn all the spider webs here!”
After hearing Shen Fei’s words, the Flame Owl’s slender body suddenly swelled. The fire elements in the surrounding air and the fire-attribute spiritual energy in Shen Fei’s body quickly gathered in the Flame Owl.
In an instant, the red feathers on the Flame Owl’s body were like a Blaze Bear’s fire, turning into a dazzling golden yellow. The air around Shen Fei was immediately distorted by this powerful heat.
Crackle, crackle…
When the white raindrops landed around Shen Fei’s, they were immediately roasted clean by the scorching air. As such, the black Shadow Spider’s attacks were rendered useless against him.
The Flame Owl continued with this tactic while Shen Fei placed the Flame Owl on his shoulder. He then quickly ran forward.
According to the direction of the pathfinding crystal, Luo Ying should be somewhere in this jungle! He was here to save people, not to fight with the exotic beasts here!
Thinking of Luo Ying, who was desperately trying to tell him not to come in the pathfinding crystal, Shen Fei’s heart was filled with anxiety. He had to hurry to her side!
Under the protection of the Flame Owl, Shen Fei hurriedly ran toward the deeper parts of the jungle.
The huge Shadow Spider in the air watched Shen Fei. A complicated light flashed through its blood-red compound eyes.
The Shadow Spider spread its eight legs and silently followed behind Shen Fei, blending into the shadows of the many trees. In an instant, the jungle, which had been extremely quiet just a moment ago, became lively. Under the moonlight, the once still shadows of the trees gradually began to morph.
‘This is bad!’ Looking at the constantly distorting shadows around him, Shen Fei hastened his pace and dashed forward.
“Howl!”
The twisted shadows of the trees turned into howling Shadow Wolves under the moonlight. They appeared one after another behind Shen Fei.
Their deathly white eyes pinned on Shen Fei who was in front of them. They took large strides and wildly pursued Shen Fei.
“Coo!”
The Flame Owl vigilantly looked at the scene behind it and pecked lightly at Shen Fei’s ear.
“I know. If you want to do it, then hurry up!”
“Coo!”
In an instant, the Golden feathers of the Flame Owl were covered with a black sheen. The Flame Owl stomped its claws and flew toward the Shadow Wolves.
“Howl!”
Many of the Shadow Wolves pounced at the Flame Owl when they saw it.
Just as the Flame Owl began to distract the Shadow Wolves, Shen Fei went into the bushes not far away, completely disappearing from the Shadow Wolves’ sights.
“Pant… pant…” Shen Fei, hidden in the bushes, let out a long sigh of relief. The Flame Owl also flew into the pocket realm and returned to Shen Fei’s side.
“Coo.”
The Flame Owl slumped on Shen Fei’s shoulder immediately, and the feathers on its body once again returned to the previous fiery red color. It seemed that the battle with the Shadow Wolves had consumed a lot of energy.
“You’ve worked hard.”
Shen Fei stretched out his hand and stroked his Flame Owl, then he stood up again. He had to hurry before the Shadow Wolves found him!
“Shen Fei, quickly, over here!”
Suddenly, a very familiar voice came to his ears. Shen Fei turned his head and looked to the side.
Luo Ying, whom he had been searching for all this whole, was sticking her head out of the vines of the tree to the side, quietly reaching out to him.
“Shen Fei, hurry up and come here. Once you’re here, those damn shadow beasts won’t be able to find you!”
At this, Luo Ying smiled gently at Shen Fei and extended her hand to him.
“Hurry up and come in. Otherwise, you’ll be caught by that spider!”
“Senior Luo Ying, are you okay?”
Shen Fei looked at Luo Ying worriedly, he felt that something was not right with her.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine.” Luo Ying smiled at him gently. “I look very normal and human, don’t I?”
Upon hearing this, Shen Fei immediately furrowed his brows.
‘Why do these words sound so strange?’
“Alright, alright, hurry up and come in!” Luo Ying looked at the sky fearfully. “That scary thing will come back soon. You have to hide with me, or it’ll definitely find you! Quickly come in!”
“Um, okay…?” Shen Fei reached out his hand with a slightly puzzled expression.
However, just as Luo Ying was about to grab Shen Fei’s hand, the Flame Owl on Shen Fei’s shoulder gently pecked at Shen Fei’s earlobe.
“Ouch!” Shen Fei was subconsciously woken up by the intense pain. He looked at the Flame Owl beside him with a puzzled expression.
“Coo!” The Flame Owl looked warily at Luo Ying, and shook its head decisively at Shen Fei.
When he saw the Flame Owl’s alert look, Shen Fei instantly retracted his hand. He narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at Luo Ying.
‘She does seem to be acting strange!’
At a closer look, one could see that there was a trace of emptiness in her eyes, and Luo Ying’s hands and neck were covered in a layer of white spider silk. If Shen Fei had not looked carefully, he would not have been able to notice these minute details at all.
Shen Fei looked guardedly at the Luo Ying in front of him, and instantly retracted his hand.
“What’s wrong with you? Come in quickly.” Luo Ying looked anxiously at Shen Fei. “Hurry up and come in. If you’re late, that spider will definitely catch up to you.”
“Flame Owl, Flame Breath!”
“Coo!”
In an instant, the Flame Owl beside Shen Fei rose into the air, and ruthlessly spat a ball of fire at Luo Ying!
“Ahh! Shen Fei, why are you doing this?! Aren’t we good friends?”
“What are you talking about?” Shen Fei coldly looked at Luo Ying who was slowly melting into a puddle in front of him. “The Luo Ying I know isn’t a fake like you.”
The Luo Ying in front of him was not his so-called senior at all!
“You’re a puppet made of spider silk!”
“Heh, heh, you can actually tell?”
The puppet formed from spider silk, even before it died, it managed to reveal a sinister smile for Shen Fei.
“So what if you can tell?”
The spider web puppet coldly laughed at Shen Fei.
