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

203 The Purple-patterned Orchid

“Screech!!”

The Iron-feathered Eagle let out a sharp cry, and its eyes glowed red. It swooped down and dove at the crowd again.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaoxuan took the lead. “Kill!” The yuan Qi in her body surged, and a blue spear condensed next to her.

Fwoosh! The long spear trembled and shot out like an arrow.

“Kill!” Everyone else also began using their own martial skills and charged at the Iron-feathered Eagle.

Clang, clang! Weapons clashed and sparks flew. In just a moment, an intense battle broke out. However, even with their powerful trump cards and martial skills, they could barely fight against the Iron-feathered Eagle.

“This Yang Xiaoxuan is indeed the champion of the ranking competition of Nanling Academy. Her combat power is so fierce that she’s like a goddess of war!” Wu Haotian’s face was full of praise when he saw her.

Shen Fei summoned his Flame Owl. He shouted, “Flame Owl, Flaming Bramble Inferno!”

Whoosh! The Flame Owl flapped its wings, and scorching flames swept out and turned into a sea of fire. The flames roiled and seemed to be able to melt away everything in sight.

“Hiss!” The Iron-feathered Eagle was surprised. It let out a long hiss, and its body flickered as it fell from the sky.

In the next moment, the feathers on its back started to burn. Then, the Flame Owl quickly flew toward the giant bird. It swooped down and, with a flap of its wings, pierced the giant bird like an arrow.

“Screech!” The giant eagle roared and tried to resist. However, no matter how hard it tried to struggle, it was unable to resist the scorching flames. In just a few breaths, all the feathers on the eagle’s body were burned away. In the end, it wailed and fell to the ground, dead.

After dealing with the giant bird, the Flame Owl returned to Shen Fei’s shoulder. When the students saw this scene, they were all somewhat speechless.

“This Flame Owl is so strong!”

After everyone took a closer look at the Flame Owl, their gazes collectively fell on Shen Fei. From their perspective, Shen Fei, who was able to possess such a powerful beast, was definitely not an ordinary person.

Everyone was discussing among themselves.

“We’re now in the inner area of the mountain forest. I hope we don’t encounter those monstrous beasts.”

“These demonic beasts aren’t weak. It’s too dangerous to act alone.”

“We should still be careful.”

…

“That’s the spirit herb garden. It’s said that there are many rare spirit herbs planted there. Let’s go and have a look.”

Everyone chatted as they walked. Along the way, they saw quite a few precious spirit herbs. In fact, they even saw spirit bones next to these spirit herbs. This made everyone extremely excited.

These things were far from comparable to medicinal pills. But they were still extremely precious.

“Huh, what’s that?”

Suddenly, everyone’s eyes lit up. There was a seven-colored flower floating in the air.

The petals were mostly purple and emitted a dense, hazy mist, which completely enshrouded the flower. The flower bloomed with a gorgeous glow, seeming intoxicating to everyone.

After looking at the flower, Shen Fei’s eyes revealed a surprised look.

“It’s a purple-patterned orchid! This item contains pure medicinal effects. After consuming it, it can increase one’s cultivation aptitude.”

“A purple-patterned orchid?” Hearing this, Yang Xiaoxuan’s eyes blinked. This was an extremely rare spirit medicine.

Hearing this, everyone’s eyes were filled with joy and excitement.

“It’s actually a purple-patterned orchid?”

“Let’s pick a few.” Everyone was overjoyed and gathered around the orchid.

“Don’t touch it!” Shen Fei quickly stopped everyone.

“What’s wrong?” Yang Xiaoxuan asked.

“There’s a restriction placed on that purple-patterned orchid. If you touch it, you’ll be killed,” Shen Fei said.

Hearing this, everyone frowned. “Doesn’t that mean we’ll have to give up on this treasure?”

“Of course.” Shen Fei nodded.

A girl sighed. “Is there really no other way?”

“Sigh, there’s no choice, I guess.”

Everyone shook their heads, looking extremely regretful. This was a rare spirit herb!

Yang Xiaoxuan sighed as well. “Let’s go look elsewhere.” Although her tone was casual, she felt regretful because there was no chance of acquiring such a treasure.

After a round of harvesting other herbs, they still did not manage to find another purple-patterned orchid. However, this trip was not a total loss.

“Let’s go!” Everyone set off again.

However, as they continued to move forward, there was a muffled sound of thunder coming from the area in front of them, accompanied by a gust of cold wind. The wind howled, carrying with it a sense of danger and death.

When everyone looked up, there were crows circling the dark clouds a short distance away.

“Crows…” Everyone could not help but shiver when they saw the crows.

“What strange crows!”

“They seem to be staring at us!”

Some of the Beastmasters were alarmed. This was because the area here was really quiet. Other than the whistling sound of the forest, there was no other sound. Such a situation made people feel terrified.

Seeing this, Shen Fei muttered, “Let’s go, we’ll go around them.”

Everyone went around the area where the crows were, but this place was too close to the spirit herb garden…

“Caw!”

Before they could ponder further, a strange cry came from the distance. The crowd looked up and saw a murder of crows flying toward them. Seeing this, everyone’s expressions changed.

“Damn it, it’s the crows!”

These crows were terrifying. Even if there were only a handful of them, they could still kill everyone.

“Run!”

Everyone immediately ran.

“Caw!”

As they ran, the flying crows let out strange cries and followed in hot pursuit.

“They’re actually chasing us!”

After sensing the fluctuations coming from behind, everyone was stunned. Then, someone turned around and tried to drive the crows away.

Unfortunately, just as he was about to turn around, he felt a sharp pain in his back. A crow had pierced through his head.

Seeing this, Shen Fei and Yang Xiaoxuan’s faces suddenly changed, and they quickly scolded, “Don’t turn back, just run!”

No one dared to be slow and hurriedly continued to sprint forward. As they ran, everyone could not help but glance behind them, their faces full of worry.

While he was running madly, Shen Fei frowned.

“These flying crows are too powerful. They seem to be able to control vital Qi and aren’t afraid of fire and water attacks at all. They can also release poisonous mist that corrodes spirit essence, and their defense is quite strong.”

This kind of crow could be called a demon-type. Not only could they control vital Qi, but they could also use various means of combat.

Everyone shuddered at the thought.

…

After Shen Fei and the rest had fled, the flying crows struck at the places where they stood moments earlier.

The crows then flapped their wings and created a hurricane that drowned out the purple-patterned orchid. Then, the crows soared into the sky and chased after the students again.

Close behind the crows were two birds. One was a dark Golden-winged Eagle…
