Chapter 29 (1/2)

Jiu!

A clear cry rang out as a red blur suddenly shot out from the deep cave.

Following the appearance of this red blur, several deep blue spider silks shot out as well at lightning speed, chasing after the red blur.

That red blur was none other than the red-colored bird beast that had gone scouting into the cave previously. Seeing as the attacks were closing in on it, it abruptly drew a sharp arc in the sky, turning back and shooting out a scarlet tongue of flame from its beak.

One of the several threads of blue spider silk lost its momentum and fell to the forest below, while the others were engulfed by the tongue of flames, turning into ash with sizzling sounds.

On the other hand, the single thread of deep blue silk that fell into woods penetrated several huge trees, showing how powerful those threads were. Anyone would be terrified upon seeing this.

In the next moment, the trees that were touched by the blue silk started withering at a speed visible to the naked eye. That original verdant leaves gradually turned a withered yellow color.

A mountain breeze blew by, as if autumn had arrived ahead of time. Uncountable withered leaves floated down and formed a deep layer atop the verdant grass.

After that red blur flew out of the cave, it flew straight toward a mountain summit at the side and landed on the shoulder of a middle-aged Major General. It appeared languid, showing that it had already suffered some injuries.

“It turned out that the exotic beasts in that cave are actually that powerful!”

The Major General’s expression changed greatly. He looked toward that cave in the valley, revealing a fearful gaze. He pondered for a short moment, before stepping off the tree, floating to the ground below and hurriedly dashing out of the forest.

“I have to inform the upper echelon of this matter as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the exotic beasts come out, all of Qian Wei City might be drawn into some very troublesome matters!”

~~~~~~

“Zhang! Xiao! Che! What exactly did you teach to the little scorpion!” Huang Tielan stared at Zhang Che, gnashing her teeth. Her usual gentle side was nowhere to be seen.

Zhang Che was immediately embarrassed. He never considered that getting his subdued beast to use such a vulgar offensive method was indeed a little too unsightly.

-But, I am a transcender. Is my face really that important?-

Thus, Zhang Che let out a forced laughter and spoke as if nothing was wrong, “Extreme methods are needed during extreme times. This was the only way to kill that exotic beast to free us from our predicament.”

Mm. He was right. Second Lieutenant Qi was looking in his direction with an admiring gaze.

Alas, it wasn’t this easy to hoodwink Huang Tielan. Her eyes narrowed, chuckling, “Then why do I feel like the little scorpion is very well-practiced with this technique?”

“Alright, Huang Tielan. Please don’t concern yourself with such minor details. Let’s quickly go help Lieutenant Qi kill the other two Five-Colored Poison Spiders and return to the camp. Only the heavens know how many more Five-Colored Poison Spiders are in the forest and coming our way. We’ll be at much greater risk if we continue wasting our time here,” Zhang Che said righteously, then ordered the Fiery Scorpion to head into the battlefield on the other side.

Seeing as Zhang Che had diverted his attention to the other battle, Huang Tielan continued staring at his back, thinking to herself fearfully, -So you’re such a person, Zhang Xiaoche!

-Luckily this Miss here refused to take back the Fiery Scorpion earlier. Otherwise, I’d have a beast that has a liking for the flowery hole. Wouldn’t I get mocked to death then?-

A fearsome image popped up in Huang Tielan’s mind, causing her to shudder all over.
