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

Chapter 234 - 234 Teacher Shen, You’re So Cool

234 Teacher Shen, You’re So Cool

Seeing this scene, Shen Fei frowned. He looked at the spirit devouring grass regrettably.

Suddenly, a vine emerged from the ground where the spirit devouring grass was and wrapped around the Flame Owl’s right talon.

With a “thump”, the Flame Owl fell heavily to the ground. The flames on its body flared up as it tried to burn the vines, but the vines were very unusual, and managed to continue wrapping around the Flame Owl like tentacles.

The Flame Owl struggled with all its might, trying to escape, but the more it struggled, the tighter the vines wrapped around it.

Seeing this, Shen Fei quickly ordered, “Flame Owl, Blazing Charge!”

In the next second, the Flame Owl flapped its wings and charged at the vines, spewing out an unending jet of fire. The flames swept out menacingly, and the vines caught fire.

Unfortunately, it only took a moment for the vines to recover. They even grew thicker, binding the Flame Owl even more tightly, causing the Flame Owl to fall to the ground again.

The vines then turned into chains. The chains tightened around the Flame Owl’s body. The Flame Owl’s fire fimmed. It had obviously lost its combat power.

“Flame Owl!” Shen Fei shouted as he ran to the Flame Owl. The Flame Owl, bound by iron chains, was bleeding. “How are you?” Shen Fei asked.

“Coo, coo!” The Flame Owl screeched. The flames on its body gushed out and turned into a storm of fire. It wanted to break the iron chains that bound its body. Unfortunately, no matter how hard it tried, it could not affect the iron chains in the slightest.

“Flame Owl, Flaming Bramble Inferno!” Shen Fei ordered.

A powerful aura then spread out from the nearby thorns. Then, thistle flowers appeared out of thin air. The thistles bloomed and shot at the vine-chains like arrows.

All the vine-chains were pierced through, turning into pieces of scrap metal and falling to the ground. Finally, the bindings on the Flame Owl disappeared.

The Flame Owl’s body was still burning, and it was obviously much better.

Seeing this, Shen Fei smiled and nodded. “The Flaming Bramble Inferno is truly overpowering.”

The Flame Owl flapped its wings and flew back.

“Coo, coo!” the Flame Owl cried out, seemingly happy. Immediately, it bent over and used its beat to peck Shen Fei’s face affectionately.

Seeing this, Shen Fei’s heart warmed.

“Teacher Shen, this Flame Owl is only a Page-rank spirit beast, isn’t it? How could it have such great strength?” Zhang Yuxin was confused. She had clearly felt it earlier. Even a mid-grade Baron-rank spirit beast was not this powerful.

Shen Fei shook his head. “The bloodline of this Flame Owl is extraordinary.”

“Teacher Shen, that’s an understatement. Its strength is terrifying!” Zhang Yuxin said in shock. “Moreover, there’s a huge gap between a Page and a Baron. Even a spirit beast at the peak of the Page rank is barely equivalent to a low-grade Baron-rank spirit beast.”

Shen Fei nodded and explained, “Because the stronger the spirit beast is, the more difficult it is to tame it. If you want it to recognize you as its master, you first need to have a strong enough spiritual power and a sincere heart.”

After a pause, he pointed at the spirit devouring grass in front of him.

“This spirit devouring grass is a Flame Owl’s favorite food. Every year, it can attract hundreds of thousands of low-level demonic beasts and turn them into food for the Flame Owls.”

“I see.” Zhang Yuxin suddenly understood. “Teacher Shen, you mean to say that your beast taming skills are far beyond ordinary people?”

Hearing Zhang Yuxin’s words, Shen Fei rolled his eyes. ‘This student is too slow…’

“You’re mistaken.” Shen Fei shook his head and continued to explain, “Although I have a unique understanding of how to raise and control this type of spirit beast, it is definitely not a beast taming technique.”

When Zhang Yuxin heard this, she let out a sigh of relief and said, “So it’s like this…”

Zhang Yuxin then looked at Shen Fei with admiration and said, “Teacher Shen, did you personally tame this Flame Owl?”

Shen Fei nodded in response.

Zhang Yuxin’s respect for him grew. “Teacher Shen, you’re so cool!”

At Zhang Yuxin’s flattering words, Shen Fei could not help but roll his eyes. He was too lazy to care.

After that, Shen Fei walked toward the spirit devouring grass. The spirit devouring grass’ stem was razor sharp, and it even glinted coldly like a deadly blade—the spirit plant seemed to hold its own killing intent.

At this moment, the system’ stern warning suddenly sounded, [Be careful, this spirit devouring grass is very dangerous.]

‘What?’ Shen Fei’s heart jumped as he thought, ‘Is this plant really dangerous?’

The system did not answer Shen Fei’s question, but reminded him, [Host, leave quickly.]

‘Leave?’ Shen Fei’s heart began to hesitate.

This spirit devouring grass was very valuable; it would be a waste to give up on it.

[This spirit devouring grass contains a deadly poison. If you’re not careful, your life will be in danger.] The system seemed anxious.

At these words, Shen Fei’s brows lightly twitched.

“…I have an antidote pill,” Shen Fei confidently smiled and took out a pill. This antidote pill was a reward from the system. It had a remarkable effect and could expel all fatal toxins.

When she saw what he was doing, Zhang Yuxin asked in surprise, “Teacher Shen, what are you doing with the antidote pill?”

“Heh, since this spirit devouring grass is extremely poisonous, we naturally have to safeguard against it,” Shen Fei said.

Zhang Yuxin was stunned. ‘Teacher Shen actually knows that the spirit devouring grass contains poison?’

“Teacher Shen, aren’t you afraid of being poisoned?” Zhang Yuxin asked suspiciously.

“Do you think I’m someone who’s afraid of death?” Shen Fei glanced at her and smiled.

Zhang Yuxin smiled and rubbed her nose shyly. “Um, Teacher Shen, I was mistaken.”

“Coo, coo!”

At this moment, the Flame Owl cried out, urging Shen Fei to pick the spirit devouring grass quickly. Shen Fei nodded and walked to the edge of the spirit devouring grass’ range.

This spirit devouring grass grew deep underground and was circular. It was surrounded by a thick mist. Furthermore, when Shen Fei got closer, he felt a bone-piercing chill.

The system’s notification sound rang in Shen Fei’s ears. [Ding! Please pay attention to your safety, host.]

Shen Fei stared at the spirit devouring grass in front of him. He reached out and uprooted it, then stuffed it into his bag.

Zhang Yuxin did not expect Shen Fei to not get poisoned when he touched the spirit devouring grass.

Shen Fei clapped his hands and said with a smile, “Alright, let’s continue.”

...

“Yes.” Zhang Yuxin nodded, and her eyes were filled with admiration. After that, the two of them rode on the Flame Owl and continued forward.

Along the way, Shen Fei encountered a few low Baron-rank demonic beasts. They were all swallowed up by the Flame Owl. After devouring these demonic beasts, the Flame Owl’s strength increased by 30%, and its momentum became even stronger.

At the same time, the area covered by its bright red scales grew larger and larger, and its entire body seemed to be made of Black Gold. This caused Shen Fei to be pleasantly surprised.

Not only did its strength grow, but its defense had also changed. It seemed that he would have to let the Flame Owl catch a few more lower-grade Baron-rank demonic beasts in the future.

This way, the Flame Owl’s combat power would be even stronger.
