Chapter 228: Attack of the Magical Beast, Stone Monster! (1/2)

Time passed slowly, and after Bai Xiaofei lost count of how many times he had gulped, the silence was finally broken. At the edge of the zone of destruction wrecked by the shock wave, a green monster as big as a hill appeared. Why was the newcomer called a monster? Because Bai Xiaofei truly had no idea what a life form built entirely of stone with moss growing on its skin was.

“A human?” A deep voice rang out. The monster was speaking awkwardly in human speech. Evidently, the monster was also astonished by the sight of Bai Xiaofei here.

“This ruin has been discovered by the Starnet Academy. If you don’t want your long life to end now, you better piss off,” Bai Xiaofei berated coldly. He showed no anxiousness or fear. Through his words, he shifted the monster’s focus to the ruin. He had only mentioned the Starnet Academy as a probe.

Magical beasts capable of human speech would at least be a King Rank beast. And at King Rank, magical beasts were already capable of the refined thought processes humans were capable of. Simply put, they would know fear as well. Bai Xiaofei was betting that this monster would fear Starnet Academy’s name. Unfortunately, he had been too hopeful. Instead of being scared off, the stone monster sneered with a raging murderous intent.

“Is the Starnet Academy trying to break the agreement between us? When have they started to expand into the inner region of the Infinite Mountain Range? And they are only sending a new Master Rank trash like you?”

As the stone monster spoke, he started walking toward Bai Xiaofei. It was not possible that this stone monster was entirely unafraid of the academy. Therefore, the stone monster was approaching him slowly as a way of probing him as well. The stone monster was trying to see how much confidence Bai Xiaofei had.

Bai Xiaofei wasn’t too confident, but he had a reason to never back off.

“Looks like you are really tired of living!” Right after saying that, Bai Xiaofei advanced instead of retreating. Not only was he advancing, he was advancing quickly, as if he was going to kill the stone monster with a single attack. What happened next proved Bai Xiaofei’s decision was right. His illogical confidence caused the stone monster to feel fear.

Instead of facing Bai Xiaofei’s attack, the stone monster stopped right as they were about to collide. Instantly, the stone monster transformed into a lifeless boulder, allowing Bai Xiaofei’s punch to land on his body.

Although Bai Xiaofei had been holding back so that he would have enough energy to retreat, he was still able to display his terrifying strength of Master Rank. Without the support of the stone monster’s energy, the boulder was merely a regular stone. With a single punch, the boulder was crushed. This result caused him to blank out.

A King Rank magical beast that is so weak?

But the assumption was immediately overturned. The stone monster was not weak. Rather, it was acting intelligently. Where Bai Xiaofei stood previously, the ground clumped together to form a new stone monster. The moment the stone monster was formed, he took wide steps straight toward the ruin. Seeing that scene caused Bai Xiaofei to feel relieved. If he hadn’t done all that as a safety precaution, the stone monster would have been charging straight at Hu Xian’er.

“Trash! Stop right there!” Bai Xiaofei bellowed and started chasing after the stone monster. However, he was controlling his speed so that he would not be able to catch up with the stone monster, allowing the monster to enter the ruin.
