Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 85 - 84 Two Beavers Gnawing on the Green Willows
Chapter 85: Chapter 84 Two Beavers Gnawing on the Green Willows
Within the tent, Qin Feng sat cross-legged, refining Spiritual Energy.
The Spiritual Energy provided by the Bronze Giant Crocodile was not insubstantial, allowing him to have surplus energy to consolidate his Cultivation at the sixth level of Qi Refining.
After he had refined all the Spiritual Energy, his Cultivation at the sixth level of Qi Refining had become thoroughly stable.
Qin Feng opened his eyes with a face full of joy, feeling satisfied in his heart.
The Demon Refining Pot indeed was a treasured item, and the Mist Swamp was equally a good place; he had only refined a Bronze Giant Crocodile, and it had already stabilized his Cultivation at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Realm. If he hunted a few more Demon Beasts, he might directly break through to the seventh level.
After all, the Qi Refining Realm was just the introductory phase, with no significant bottlenecks. Although it’s somewhat harder to break through from the middle to the late stage, the difficulty was limited. At worst, he would just have to refine a few more Demon Beasts, and there was no worry about not being able to advance.
...
At this moment, he was brimming with confidence. It seemed that the time for him to advance to the late stage of Qi Refining would come sooner than he had previously estimated!
Just as he was considering where to go next to find Demon Beasts, he suddenly heard a sharp cry of a bird from outside, followed by the sound of something cutting through the air, drawing closer.
Qin Feng was startled and hurriedly projected his Divine Sense to find out what was happening.
Then he saw a not-so-small White Egret suddenly dive from midair, pecking toward the Swallowing Sky Toad guarding the side of his tent.
Was this… mistaking the Swallowing Sky Toad for prey?

Qin Feng was speechless. Were you here to hunt, or did you deliver yourself into the Swallowing Sky Toad’s mouth?
It was also because the Swallowing Sky Toad’s outward appearance was so deceptive. Its Space Divine Power could conceal its Demon Energy, so it appeared weak, which is why it was targeted by the White Egret.
Indeed, as Qin Feng had anticipated, before the beautifully feathered White Egret could even peck at the Swallowing Sky Toad, he saw the toad open its mouth wide, its tongue shooting out like lightning, which bypassed the egret’s long beak, wrapped around the egret’s slender neck, and pulled it down directly into its gaping maw.
The White Egret didn’t understand what had happened to it till its death.
Although it had the strength of the Qi Refining Middle Stage, the Swallowing Sky Toad was too quick. Before it had a chance to struggle, it was swallowed into a dark space, becoming food for the toad’s evolution.
Qin Feng shook his head, inwardly lamenting the loss.
Such a beautiful White Egret being eaten by the Swallowing Sky Toad in one gulp was somewhat anticlimactic.
If he had caught and sold it, it would have fetched quite a few Spirit Stones.
After all, the appearance of this White Egret was truly beautiful. Just in terms of looks alone, it was much more beautiful than his own Spiritual Vulture mount.
Although his Spiritual Vulture was fierce, its bald head really didn’t match up to the word ‘beautiful.’
Qin Feng got up, packed up his tent, and signaled to the Swallowing Sky Toad and the Green Fox to leave the area.
The Mist Swamp spanned hundreds of miles, and aside from the annoying miasma and swamps difficult to escape from, this region could also be considered a good place, with rivers crisscrossing and lush vegetation, home to many species.
Apart from the Giant Crocodiles and Pythons at the top of the food chain, there were many birds and beasts, among which a good number were Demon Beasts that understood how to swallow nature’s spiritual energy for Cultivation. With the perceptions of the Green Fox and the Swallowing Sky Toad, they quickly located a Beaver Demon in a small willow grove, crunching on the bark of a tree.
If such Demon Beasts had yet to transform, their round bodies could be quite adorable, but the Beaver Demon in front of Qin Feng was eight feet long, not much smaller than an average water buffalo, and naturally, it lacked that endearing appearance.
Its teeth were even sharper, severing a willow tree over a hundred years old with just a few bites.
Such teeth made Qin Feng’s eyes widen with envy.
However, when the Beaver Demon noticed him and then opened its mouth to bite at him, he immediately stopped feeling envious.
The Beaver Demon’s teeth were probably much sharper than those of the Giant Crocodile from before; if it really bit him, his bones would be snapped instantly.
But this Beaver Demon also didn’t seem too intelligent, otherwise it wouldn’t have attacked him instead of fleeing upon seeing him.
Before the Swallowing Sky Toad could act, the Green Fox leaped out, its eyes sparkling as it attempted to confuse the Beaver Demon with an illusion.
The moment the Beaver Demon was caught in the illusion, the Green Fox sprang forward, aiming to bite at the Beaver Demon’s thick, short neck.
Just as the Beaver Demon was about to die in the jaws of the Green Fox, a vine suddenly flew out from behind another willow tree not far away, lashing toward the Green Fox.
With a quick reaction, the Green Fox lightly leaped to dodge the emerald-green vine and turned its head to see another Beaver Demon of the same plump size emerging from behind the willow tree.
With the help of its companion, the Beaver Demon that had been confused by the Green Fox’s illusion instantly regained clarity and, together with its ally, charged at the Green Fox.
In their minds, this fox that could use illusions was definitely no good thing; it was best to eliminate it first.
However, just as they manipulated grass and vines on the ground to block the Green Fox’s retreat and prepared for a direct confrontation, ‘gua gua’ sounds of frog croaks suddenly rang by their ears.
Following that, a tonguelike a sharp sword arrived instantly; even though both Beaver Demons tried to dodge, they were too hasty and couldn’t escape in time. Ultimately, the tongue pierced through the hind leg of one of the Beaver Demons.
Simultaneously, Qin Feng was not idle either. He was also casting spells to attack the two Beaver Demon Beasts, testing the potency of his current spellcasting efficacy.
The result was somewhat disappointing.
Although he had learned quite a few spells at the Beast Taming Sect over the past year, neither his spellcasting speed nor the power of the spells themselves were sufficient to be the decisive factor in the outcome of the battle.
Qin Feng sighed softly, realizing that his combat powers indeed were not strong, at least for now he still had to rely on Spiritual Beasts.
If only he could, like Fang Zheng, make use of his Lifebound Spiritual Beast to acquire Divine Skills early on.
Unfortunately, not to mention his current low level of Dao Cultivation, which left him without the ability to acquire Divine Skills, even if he had the capacity, there was no way to begin the cultivation.
Because he did not even have a Lifebound Spiritual Beast, naturally, he could not cultivate Divine Skills.
Maybe because these two Beaver Demon Beasts had been gnawing on Spiritual Wood for many years, their Demon Energy within them was of the wood attribute, and the spells they cast were the same. Not only could they release a greenish Demon Energy to hurt their enemies, they were also able to manipulate the wild Spirit Grass growing on the ground to entangle Qin Feng and the Green Fox, causing them to be somewhat in a tight spot for a while.
However, these spells had little effect on the diminutive Swallowing Sky Toad.
With a push from its hind legs, the Swallowing Sky Toad sprang high into the air.
Qin Feng felt a great force emanating from its small body. As he stabilized his hand that almost flung his arm out, the Swallowing Sky Toad had used the momentum of its leap to approach the two Beaver Demons. Its tongue flickered out repeatedly, creating a bloody hole in the Beaver Demon which it had previously injured on the hind leg.
With the injury penetrating deep into its organs, the Beaver Demon Beast was severely injured and toppled to the ground, its ferocity gone.
The other Beaver Demon tried to rescue its injured companion but by this time the Green Fox had freed itself from the entwining vines, and it bit down on the back of the Beaver Demon’s neck, killing it with a few snaps.
Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
Although these two Beaver Demons weren’t overly formidable, they were quite tenacious. This kind of spellcasting that manipulated vegetation and vines was a headache for low-level cultivators in combat, as one could easily get entangled if not careful.
