Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future

202 Don’t Embarrass Yourself

The students had to stay close to the instructors during this mission. However, in the vehicle, other than Shen Fei, the other students all revealed haughty smiles.

“Don’t run around, or you’ll embarrass yourself.”

A burst of laughter resounded through the car. Li Yuan, Xia’er and the rest were lined up in a row. They all glanced at the lone Shen Fei with their mocking gazes.

Seeing this, Shen Fei grinned and asked, “Are you guys concerned about me?”

Li Yuan sneered, “Concerned about you? Hehe, do you think you’re worthy of our concern?”

Beside him, Xia’er’s mouth had also curved into a playful smirk.

“I’m sorry, but I’m asking you as a teacher this time, not as a student,” Shen Fei indifferently said.

Hearing this, Li Yuan laughed even more presumptuously, “Hahaha!!” Xia’er and the others also laughed.

“This guy’s brain is broken. Even an expert like Li Yuan doesn’t want to talk to him. What qualifications does he have to talk to these seniors?”

After laughing a few more times, Li Yuan and the others arrogantly glanced at their classmates who were discussing in low voices, and ignoring them.

In their eyes, Shen Fei was just a clown.

…

It was misty in Nanling Forest. Deep in the forest, the roar of a beast suddenly came from a huge rock.

“Roar!”

Then, one figure after another rose into the air and dove like eagles at a large python in front of them.

“Hiss!”

The python—a Golden Python—was about seven meters long. Its entire body was golden and was covered in golden scales. It coiled there, and its thick tail made a sweeping gesture that caused the very air to tremble.

On the head of the Golden Python, a single golden horn flickered with brilliant patterns, releasing terrifying fluctuations that seemed to contain great power.

[Golden Python]

[Rank: Marquis, Low grade]

[Health: 60]

[Attack: 30]

[Defense: 29]

[Spirit: 23]

[Speed: 34]

Seeing this, Shen Fei began to give an introduction about the creature. “This is a Golden Python, a low Marquis-rank spirit beast. It’s best at binding enemies and knows how to ingest poison. It can corrode human bones and skin.”

Upon hearing this, the student Wu Feng and the rest frowned slightly and said, “Is that so? It seems that it’s not an ordinary spirit beast!”

“Hmm, not bad. Normal Golden Pythons usually can’t transform, but this one has already done it and has the battle power of a low-grade Marquis. It’s clearly not an ordinary beast.”

Shen Fei sighed and said, “Looks like we’ve run into some trouble.”

Li Yuan pouted when he heard this. “So what? Can it prevent us from getting first place in this mission?”

Shen Fei continued, “You must not touch its tail. Otherwise, you’ll feel an intense pain. If you’re caught by it, it won’t be easy to break free—”

However, he was interrupted by Li Yuan. “Aren’t you the instructor? Why are you even scared of a low Marquis-rank spirit beast? Even if you don’t want me to touch its tail, I’ll still touch it!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yuan kicked the tail of the Golden Python. Then, the Golden Python suddenly wagged its tail…

Slam!

Immediately, Li Yuan let out a blood-curdling screech as his entire body was sent flying.

Crash!

He spat out a mouthful of blood after crashing into a huge rock in the distance. His handsome face was twisted into an ugly expression.

“I…”

Looking at Li Yuan’s miserable appearance, Shen Fei’s mouth curled into a bitter smile. He had predicted Li Yuan’s temperament. Unfortunately, this was something Shen Fei could not change, because Li Yuan was just that arrogant and despotic.

“Li Yuan, are you alright?” Xia’er walked over and helped him up.

“I’m fine,” he said. Li Yuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and fiercely glared at Shen Fei. His gaze was filled with the desire to dismember him.

If he had heeded Shen Fei’s warning, he would not have been sent flying by the python. Even though he was not severely injured, it was still humiliating.

“Shen Fei, oh, Shen Fei. I will remember this! You’re dead for sure!” Li Yuan gritted his teeth.

Shen Fei glanced indifferently at Li Yuan. “Are you sure you want to provoke me?”

His gaze made Li Yuan feel inexplicably flustered. However, the arrogant brat resolutely said, “Hmph, no matter how arrogant I am, I don’t dare to provoke you. I just want to remind you that if we really encounter any danger later on, I hope you won’t drag me down.”

“If that’s the case, please do as you wish.” Shen Fei shrugged his shoulders. He could not bring himself to care.

Yang Xiao waved the red flag in her hand and said, “Alright, stop quarreling. Follow Teacher Shen’s footsteps. We’re going into the mountains.”

The crowd immediately quieted down.

“Let’s go,” she said. After that, she led the students into Nanling Forest.

This forest was very vast, and there were many ferocious beasts inside—tigers, lions, and even wyrms.

After witnessing the power of the Golden Python, everyone was cautious and did not dare to take any risks. After all, no one could predict where it would be. Therefore, after wandering the outer area of the forest for three days, they finally stepped into the forest’s inner area.

After passing a stream, a mountain range appeared in everyone’s view.

“Is this the inner area of the mountains?”

“It’s said that the demonic beasts in the center of the Nanling Mountain Range are even more terrifying. I wonder if that’s true.”

“Hehe, after all these years, the spirit medicine in Nanling must have gradually matured, and the fierce beasts here are getting stronger and stronger.”

“Yeah, it’s said that some demonic beasts are already comparable to our Baron-rank spirit beasts.”

Everyone sighed with emotion. Then, they continued to move forward.

Shen Fei looked at the surrounding area and its abundant vegetation, and thought to himself, ‘This must be the area where I can find many spirit herbs.’

…

There was a collection of ancient temples in the central area of Nanling. In the middle of these temples stood a towering tree with a diameter of two hundred meters. This tree was full of branches and leaves, and was like a pillar that held up the sky. It pierced through the clouds, compelling everyone to gaze up at it.

This tree was called the Jingang Tree. It was the largest tree in Nanling. It bore many fruits, each one worth hundreds of low-grade origin crystals. This was definitely a real treasure trove, and even martial realm Beastmasters would drool over it.

This was also the place where the school organized the hunting of spirit beasts in the area.

Just as Shen Fei and the rest arrived near the Jingang Tree, a sound like wind rushing was heard.

Whoosh! A giant bird flapped its wings and flew at them.

It was an Iron-feathered Eagle. The eagle’s claws were extremely sharp and glowed with a cold light. As it swooped down, it spread its wings. Those wings were like swords, cutting through the air. It stretched out its claws and cut through the sky like blades.

Slash!

Seeing this, Shen Fei’s eyes turned cold as he hurriedly shouted, “Quickly, dodge!”

The moment the giant bird swept over them, everyone dodged.

Crash!

The eagle’s claw shattered several tons of bluestone. Everyone sucked in a cold breath at the sight.

“This Iron-feathered Eagle is very powerful. We have to get rid of it first.” Shen Fei’s brows knitted tightly.

“Alright!” Everyone nodded and began to look for an opportunity.
