Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future-Chapter 421 - Black Armor VS A Black Netherworld Spider
421 Black Armor VS A Black Netherworld Spider
This spider was dark purple, and its back was covered with spikes. Two venomous fangs extended from its mouth, and green eyes stared at Shen Fei coldly.
Swoosh!
In an instant, the spider pounced up at Shen Fei.
Shen Fei reacted quickly and threw a punch. Immediately, with a burst of power, the spider was sent flying.
The spider crashed into the ground with a crisp sound. Its body twisted as though it was injured. Shen Fei walked over and stared at the spider with a flickering gaze.
“This is a Black Netherworld Spider,” he said softly.
The Black Netherworld Spider was a very terrifying poisonous insect. Their venom could even corrode stone. With enough venom, it could even corrode a mountain peak. It was an extremely powerful substance.
It was really surprising that such a poisonous insect would actually appear in this wormhole.
“Hiss!” At that moment, the Black Netherworld Spider hissed and charged at Shen Fei like a madman.
In an instant, Shen Fei and the Black Netherworld Spider engaged in an intense battle. Shen Fei summoned a golden cudgel in one hand and kept swinging it at the Black Netherworld Spider.
His other hand formed a claw shape, and he struck out fiercely with the intention to destroy the Black Netherworld Spider.
Shen Fei and the Black Netherworld Spider were fighting to the death, and neither of them could gain the upperhand.
However, despite the Black Netherworld Spider’s strength, it was still slightly weaker than Shen Fei. If Shen Fei had not expended a lot of his true Qi in the battle with the Cloudbirth Beast, he would have already gotten rid of this Black Netherworld Spider.
Rumble…
As Shen Fei and the Black Netherworld Spider fought, their deadly strikes caused shockwaves that rippled out in all directions.
Shen Fei’s heart was filled with doubt and astonishment. “How could this spider be here? Could Li Siyu be missing because of it?”
Thinking of the possibility, Shen Fei’s heart sank. If that was the case, the situation was worrisome. The strength of this Black Netherworld Spider was comparable to a high-grade Count-rank beast.
Li Siyu was only a student with a B-class; he was no match for a Black Netherworld Spider. If Shen Fei had to find him as soon as possible. Otherwise, Li Siyu had no chance of survival at all.
With this in mind, Shen Fei’s expression turned solemn. He had to detach himself from the battle immediately, but the Black Netherworld Spider was trying its best to prevent him from leaving.
Suddenly, a hoarse and cold hiss echoed out. In the distance, a huge black scorpion appeared.The scorpion was one meter wide and three meters tall. Its body was a pitch-black carapace that was covered in dense, sharp, and mean-looking bone spikes. It glared at Shen Fei with its scarlet eyes, which were filled with bloodlust and cruelty.
“Its stinger is… huge!” Shen Fei’s expression changed the moment the scorpion appeared. He recognized what this scorpion was instantaneously. This scorpion-type beast was known as Black Armor. Black Armors were superior-grade Count-rank spirit beasts which were best at using their huge tails as deadly weapons.
Many stories were told about the fearsome power of the Black Armor’s stinger. It was one of the strongest in terms of attack power. Ordinary Beastmasters would be instantly incapacitated after being stung by the Black Iron Armor. Even a cultivator of the spirit palace realm would need a period of time to recover after being stung. Even so, the most terrifying thing about the Black Armor was that the stinger on its tail possessed a terrifying penetrating power. This was because it was shaped like a sharp dagger.
However, as Shen Fei was contemplating what to do with the appearance of a new enemy, the Black Armor turned to attack the Black Netherworld Spider instead. It seemed to understand that it was the Black Netherworld Spider that had lured Shen Fei here. Thus, the Black Armor chose to kill the spider first.
Whoosh, whoosh!
The scorpion tail of the Black Armor shone with a bright silver-white luster, which then morphed into countless sharp needles. The needles shot toward the Black Netherworld Spider with an ear-piercing whistle. In the blink of an eye, the needles pierced the Black Netherworld Spider’s body.
However, the Black Netherworld Spiders was not to be trifled with. It opened its mouth in retaliation and spat out a cloud of black mist to block the rest of the barrage and leaped at the scorpion. Its huge body collided into the Black Armor and knocked it back.
Crack, crack!
At the same time, the Black Netherworld Spider bit the Black Armor with its giant pincers and pierced through its body with shocking force. Crisp sounds of the carapace breaking reverberated throughout the passage. The Black Armor sputtered blood out and died almost instantly.
Seeing this, Shen Fei frowned. This was the perfect opportunity for him to escape. Immediately after his observation, Shen Fei sprinted away from the fight as fast as he could.
“Hiss!” The Black Netherworld Spider noticed Shen Fei fleeing as soon as he took his first step, and with a furious roar, began to chase him at top speed.
Seeing the Black Netherworld Spider pursuing him, Shen Fei decisively summoned the Flame Owl. The Flame Owl appeared in front of Shen Fei, exuding a powerful fiery aura.
“Coo, coo!” The Flame Owl spread its wings and flew toward the sky, emitting a sharp high-pitched cry. Then, it flapped its wings and burst out with a monstrous flame. It turned itself into a sea of fire that engulfed the Black Netherworld Spider.
The Black Netherworld Spider gawked at the flames released by the Flame Owl with a hint of fear. It did not wish to test the heat of the fire and successfully evaded the attack. The spider resumed chasing Shen Fei with barely an interruption.
No matter which direction Shen Fei fled in, the Black Netherworld Spider followed him closely. The spider’s relentless pursuit worried Shen Fei, but he did not get discouraged.
“Flame Owl, Burning Skies Incantation!” Shen Fei ordered.
In response, the Flame Owl flapped its wings and released scarlet flames. The flames burned throughout the surrounding darkness and lit up the surroundings like two clouds of fire. This was a second-tier upgrade of the Burning Skies Incantation. The burning power of this technique was bolstered by the Divine Scarlet Flame.
As the scarlet flames were unleashed, the temperature in the entire cave rose to an extreme degree as if the whole area had turned into a furnace. The Divine Scarlet Flame scorched whatever it passed by, and all the surrounding vegetation outside the cave withered.
The Black Netherworld Spider was forced to stop chasing Shen Fei. It could not approach the Divine Scarlet Flames rashly or it would get roasted.
Shen Fei looked at the Black Netherworld Spider and coldly snorted, “Hmph, isn’t it about time for you to disappear?”
After witnessing the Flame Owl’s power, the Black Netherworld Spider did not wish to tangle with the other party any longer and fled in panic.
Seeing this, Shen Fei patted the Flame Owl’s head, “Very good. Flame Owl. Go check if there’s a human scent around here.”
Swoosh! The Flame Owl flapped its wings and flew into the air. It began to search for Li Siyu’s scent by sniffing the air, gathering smells from all directions.
“I hope he’s still alive,” Shen Fei muttered to himself.
A short while later, the Flame Owl returned.
