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

235 The Beast Tempering Pill

In one day, the Flame Owl had killed four more low-grade Baron-rank beasts, which had raised its defense to a whole new level.

“Phew! We’ve finally arrived.”

A day later, Shen Fei and Zhang Yuxin arrived at a mountain valley. A river flowed around the valley, rapid and turbulent. This place was also filled with miasma and a corrosive aura.

Gurgle…

The sound of bubbling water met their ears. Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw a lake. The lake water was as black as ink, and wisps of smoke rose from it. There were also many corpses floating by the lake.

It was the Death Swamp.

There were all kinds of venomous snakes, ferocious beasts, and wild spirit beasts in the Death Swamp. The name of the swamp was based on the characteristics of the swamp.

It was said that this place was once a battlefield during the ancient apocalyptic era, and many corpses were left here. The skeletons had been here for thousands of years and had long rotted away, giving off a foul and gloomy smell.

Moreover, the poisonous insects and ferocious beasts in the area had been living and reproducing in the Death Swamp for so long that many of them had even developed intelligence. Soon, they might even become the overlords of this swamp of death.

However, much to Zhang Yuxin and Shen Fei’s fortune, there were only ordinary bird-type and land-type beasts for now.

Buzz…

Suddenly, there was a slight movement by the lake. Then, a group of black poisonous bees crawled out of the water! Each wing on these poisonous bees were about five meters, giving them a total wingspan of ten meters left to right. Their bodies were black, but they were also covered in green goo, and their stingers glowed with a dim light, making them look particularly scary.

Seeing the swarm of venomous bees, even Zhang Yuxin, who had been emboldened by her battle with the lion, could not help but take a few steps back.

“There are so many poisonous bees…” Zhang Yuxin’s pretty face turned pale from terror. She trembled as she asked, “Teacher Shen, what should we do?”

Shen Fei calmly glanced at her and indifferently said, “Don’t panic. These poisonous bees can’t attack us yet.”

Zhang Yuxin was surprised. After carefully examining the poisonous bees for a moment, her eyes widened in shock.

“They’re really slow!”

Shen Fei chuckled. Although the poisonous bees were slow, they were extremely aggressive. If an ordinary person was attacked by them, they would die without a doubt.

Shen Fei’s fingers moved in a blade-like action, slashing at the first poisonous bee that charged up at them.

Swish!

With a spark, the poisonous bee turned into ash and fell into the lake. Zhang Yuxin gulped and looked at Shen Fei’s profile in a shocked daze.

“Teacher Shen is so powerful.”

Shen Fei made his move again. He waved his palm and slashed it across the air like a knife. He only stopped after cutting down seven or eight poisonous bees.

Zhang Yuxin was dumbfounded. He made it look easy, like cutting vegetables, and it was just like the action scenes in the movies.

It seemed like Shen Fei did not intend to use his spirit beasts to attack these poisonous bees. Instead, he relied on his own strength here.

Shen Fei destroyed a poisonous bee with a punch. Then, he grabbed the tail of the poisonous bee and yanked it. The bee’s tail was torn off, and blood spurted out. After that, Shen Fei kicked the poisonous bee back into the swamp.

Plop!

The poisonous bee fell into the Death Swamp and melted in an instant, turning into pus.

Sizzle!

Seeing this, the swarm of poisonous bees seemed to sense fear and fled frantically. Soon, the swarm of poisonous bees ran far away and disappeared.

“Let’s go.” Shen Fei packed his things and took the lead to jump onto the swamp of death. Zhang Yuxin immediately followed.

After entering the swamp of death, Shen Fei’s feet stepped on the water’s surface, causing ripples.

“Teacher Shen, the water here is very strange. It can erode a martial artist’s elemental energy,” Zhang Yuxin said.

Shen Fei smiled indifferently. “That’s just the surface. The water has no effect on powerful Beastmasters like us.”

After saying this, Shen Fei lifted his legs and treaded deeper into the swampland.

The deeper they went, the fewer poisonous creatures there were in the swamp, and they gradually came to a clearing of flat land.

On this land, there was a purple-red tree. This tree was about ten meters tall, its branches and leaves were dark green, and waves of medicinal fragrance permeated the air around it, and it felt refreshing to one’s heart.

The tree was covered with glittering and translucent fruits.

The moment he saw the fruit tree, Shen Fei’s eyes brightened and revealed an excited expression.

“Beast tempering pills!”

The beast tempering pill was a precious medicine for Beastmasters to advance their spirit beasts. It was priceless and a treasure that was essential for cultivation.

Zhang Yuxin frowned and said, “Teacher Shen, it’s not easy to get beast tempering pills.”

“Hehe, I have an idea.”

Shen Fei laughed. He took out a jade bottle from his storage ring. After opening the bottle, he poured out a pill.

As soon as the pill left the jade bottle, it quickly flew toward a beast tempering pill.

Crack!

The beast tempering pill suddenly exploded, forming a ball of green light that enveloped the pill Shen Fei had sent out, and wrapped around it. Then, it allowed itself to be flown into Shen Fei’s sleeve and disappeared inside.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuxin was stunned for a moment. Then, she forced a bitter smile. “Teacher Shen, that beast tempering pill seems to have set its eyes on you.”

“Hehe, I’m just lucky.” Shen Fei smiled casually.

After that, Shen Fei continued onward, with Zhang Yuxin following closely behind. Soon, the two of them passed through the Death Swamp and arrived at a lush forest. In this forest, the vegetation was lush and full of vitality.

There was an ancient vine that was fifteen to eighteen meters long. The ancient vine’s branches were powerful, like a dragon coiling around the trees. The ancient vine was surrounded by dozens of shrubs of different heights.

As the branches swayed, one could faintly hear the roars of dragons and tigers echoing from a distance, loud and clear.

“Roar!”

Just as the two of them were within a hundred meters of the ancient vine, a furious roar suddenly rang out, and a huge figure suddenly jumped out of the vine.

...

It was a brightly-colored venomous boa that was over ten meters long. Its body was dark green and covered in thick green scales. The venomous snake’s pupils were dark yellow, and its vertical pupils flickered with a cold scarlet glint, making one’s hair stand on end.

“It’s a high-grade Emperor-rank spirit beast, the Venomous Demon Boa!” Shen Fei’s brows furrowed. Seeing that they were in this Venomous Demon Boa’s realm, his heart trembled.

In his memory, Venomous Demon Boas were very rare, and once bitten, death was guaranteed. Therefore, very few beast tamers dared to provoke such things.

“Teacher Shen, I’m scared!” Zhang Yuxin’s face was pale, and her eyes were fearful. After all, she was a timid girl to begin with. It was inevitable that she would be afraid of such a fierce spirit beast.

Shen Fei gave her a quick smile and said, “Stand there and don’t move, I’ll go draw it away!”

After saying that, Shen Fei walked straight toward the Venomous Demon Boa.

“Is Teacher Shen going to fight it alone? He hasn’t summoned his spirit beast yet…” Zhang Yuxin’s face was filled with worry. She wanted to stop him, but Shen Fei was already beyond her reach.

The Venomous Demon Boa watched Shen Fei. Its scarlet eyes flickered with a bloodthirsty glint.
