Chapter 37 (Part A) – The Nefarious Chimera

(Mustang:Third regular release of this week.)

He ran as fast as he could, as he was afraid that the demon might wander away and he’d miss his chance.

Suddenly, he felt arms moving around his chest, like those of a little guy. The Long Diao was finally awake.

Bi Fan was a lot more worried about Greedy’s wellbeing, when compared to finding a suitable demon to train on.

Bi Fan held up the Long Diao and looked at him carefully, almost as if studying him. He found very little change in his friend, his head was still very small, only his white hair had become even whiter, almost to the point where they seemed to be glistening and his eyes, his big bright eyes, looked even more quick-witted now.

“Greedy, are you hungry? Here, take this, eat up.” Bi Fan took out two herbs from the Tian Yuan ring and gave them to the Diao (I finally figured, its English equivalent, A Marten).

The Marten took the two herbs in his hands and gobbled them up quickly. Even after eating his regular meal, he was looking at Bi Fan pitifully, like he was trying to say that he hadn’t had enough yet.

“Greedy, I never thought that after your evolution, you would become even greedier. Ah” Bi Fan said, laughing meanwhile.

The Marten ate up two more herbs before looking satisfied and then, even managed a burp or two.

“Greedy, if you keep eating like this, one day, I’ll go bankrupt feeding you.” Bi Fan laughed as he patted his pet’s head.

“Creek….” The Marten creaked, expressing dissatisfaction, as if he was saying ‘I don’t eat that much’.

The Marten looked so adorable, that Bi Fan couldn’t help a smile: “Greedy, you need to find a place to hide, I’ve located a very powerful demon and I’m on my way to fight it now.”

Another huge roar from the beast ringed in the forest and Bi Fan accelerated his pace once again.

After a while, Bi Fan was able to finally get a look at the beast.

His fair were blazing red, his body formation like a lion, almost twenty feet in height, and thirty feet in length, which extended to almost forty feet owing to the serpent like tail that it had on its rear. The beast looked awfully terrible and scary.

“A Chimera! ” Bi Fan was taken by surprise.

Chimeras were very powerful, awfully nefarious demons, they had very powerful bodies and their tails were exceedingly toxic in nature. A magical powers level Chimera was capable of breathing fire as well, which made them a very lethal opponent.

Bi Fan recovered from the shock once he realized that this one was only in the ‘spiritual intelligence’ layer.

The fighting capabilities of this breed far exceeded those of the other demons in the same layer, and if this Chimera was even one layer higher than its present stage, Bi Fan would have surely fled by now.

The Chimera had clearly come out to hunt for food, an obvious fact, considering that it had its paws and all of its fifty-six teeth deep inside the flesh of a rhino, which was gasping for its last breaths.

Bi Fan didn’t react immediately, because he wanted to follow this demon around for a while, so that he could locate its cave, which he suspected must be somewhere nearby.

Usually a demon as strong as this one, were often known to be find accommodation around some sort of a treasure which they guarded with their lives, like a bunch of rare herbs or a crystal mine.

As long as Bi Fan was able to follow the Chimera back to its residence, he could get his hands on that treasure as well.

When the fighting would begin, the Marten could use the opportunity and sneak into the cave and steal the treasure. Now, obviously, the treasure would have to be fairly small in size for the Marten to be able to seize it by himself.
