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

"It's about to be."

Shen Fei's gaze was firm as he raised his hand, and the Flame Owl immediately flew before him. Even though he did not want to use this ability in front of them, he had no other choice.

Seeing Lear hovering in midair, Shen Fei gave a long sigh. He really could not let Aloy be handed over to him.

Rustle...

A gentle breeze silently rose from Shen Fei's feet, causing the surrounding bushes to rustle. An unseen power accumulated in his palm. The wind also gradually became stronger and stronger, following the accumulation of the invisible power.

Aloy pressed her hair down as it was whipped about her ears, and stared at Shen Fei in surprise. From a moment ago, Shen Fei's body suddenly emitted a powerful aura. Could it be that Shen Fei had been hiding something from her all along?

Looking at him, Aloy suddenly felt like she could rely on him.

"Coo, coo!"

The Flame Owl resolutely placed its head on Shen Fei's palm. In an instant, a notification echoed in Shen Fei's mind.

[An upgradeable spirit beast, Flame Owl, has been detected. Do you wish to evolve?]

Shen Fei looked at the rapidly approaching Black Sun, and his breathing grew faster. Aloy and Qian Yu held their breaths subconsciously.

Whoosh!

The Black Sun's huge wings flapped violently in the air, and the wind danced wildly with it. Lear, who was on the back of the Black Sun, seemed a little absent-minded. He looked around coldly, as if he was searching for something. Suddenly, he raised his hand.

Was it finally coming?

Shen Fei's arm extended forward and touched the Flame Owl's head.

Slap!

Without waiting for everyone to react, Lear raised his hand and smacked the Black Sun's head!

"Let's see what kind of place you've brought me to!"

This sudden development confused Shen Fei. 'What's going on?' He frowned and silently retracted his hand. 'Lear isn't here for us?'

"I asked you to find the most powerful exotic beast in the vicinity. In the end, you took me all the way to this jungle that produces garbage monsters?"

Lear's eyes were so fierce that they could spit fire. He raised his hand and gave the back of the Black Sun's head another slap.

"Graar!"

The Black Sun lowered its antennae and shook its swollen abdomen in the air. Its pitch-black compound eyes were looking at Shen Fei. It seemed that it was the Black Sun's own idea to come and find them.

Lear currently had yet to discover any traces of them. Since that was the case, there was no need for Shen Fei to reveal his ability in front of Aloy and Qian Yu.

Shen Fei reached out an arm and pulled the other two behind him as they retreated into the shadows of the trees.

"Graar!"

When it saw that Shen Fei and the others wanted to leave, the Black Sun shook its antenna and flapped its thick wings. It then rushed toward Shen Fei's direction!

"What are you doing!?" Lear impatiently raised his arm and grabbed the Black Sun's constantly twitching antennae.

In an instant, the Black Sun stopped in mid-air, shaking its body uneasily.

"Graar! Graar!" It lowered its voice and begged Lear.

Lear clenched the antennae in his hands and said impatiently, "I already told you. There is no "most powerful exotic" we need in this jungle! Change direction now and go somewhere else! Or else..."

Lear laughed sinisterly, and the veins on the hands that held the antennae bulged.

"Graar!" The Black Sun trembled in fear and immediately flapped its wings to fly elsewhere according to Lear's instructions.

As she watched the Black Sun leave, Aloy heaved a sigh of relief. "That gave me such a fright..."

Shen Fei heaved a sigh as well. The ball of spiritual energy that had gathered around his body also gradually dissipated.

Today, if it had not been for the fact that Lear did not notice them, Shen Fei would have almost lost his trump card here. However, he had to be prepared for a similar situation next time.

Thinking of this, Shen Fei secretly made up his mind. After he returned, he would have to stay in the cultivation room for a few more weeks!

"Coo, coo!"

The Flame Owl immediately flew back to Shen Fei's shoulder and perched there firmly.

"Shen Fei..."

Aloy furrowed her brows and looked meaningfully in the direction where Lear had disappeared. That was the center of the exotic beast horde! It was also its starting point!

"We have to catch up to Lear."

"What do you mean?" Upon hearing Aloy's words, Qian Yu, who had just relaxed, immediately made a face. He held his chin and carefully looked Aloy up and down. Qian Yu's gaze toward her gradually became worried. "Aloy, are you alright? Our current strength is not enough. If we go to Lear's position now, wouldn't that be walking into the muzzle of a gun? I'd better hunt some exotic beasts first and obtain their hearts to improve myself before going there."

"It's too late." Aloy raised her head and looked straight into Qian Yu's eyes. "The place that Lear is heading to now is the starting point of the exotic beast horde.

"All the mutated beasts in the wormhole will gather at that location. Through constant fighting, they will contend for the strongest victor to become their leader. That leader would have the power to control all the exotic beasts."

At this point, Aloy silently lowered her eyes.

"If Lear acquires the leader. He'll be able to control the exotic beast horde indirectly. When that time comes, the situation will only become more complicated!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Yu immediately paced back and forth anxiously. "How can this be?"

"But it's not as if there's no chance of turning things around." Aloy's eyes were bright and her face showed determination. "As long as we can get there before Lear and subdue the strongest exotic beast, we can control the entire horde! With the help of all the exotic beasts in the wormhole, even the Black Sun might not be able to stop us!"

"In that case, let's hurry up and go." Shen Fei took the lead and brought the Flame Owl in front of the two.

"You two are too slow walking like this. Get on!"

Qian Yu summoned his Elemental Tyrannosaurus. The mighty ancient beast appeared before them. He leaped onto the Elemental Tyrannosaurus' neck. Then, he extended his hand and pulled Shen Fei and Aloy onto the Tyrannosaurus' back.

"Hold on to your reins, we're leaving now!" Qian Yu shook the reins skillfully.

The Elemental Tyrannosaurus below him immediately understood and ran toward the deepest part of the forest with heavy steps.

"Speaking of which, there's a question that I've been meaning to ask you." Qian Yu turned his head and looked at Aloy in confusion. "How do you know so much about wormholes?"
