Chapter 254: All That Effort Was Not in Vain

"Not bad, you really are a clever person." Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction.

Time passed quickly, and nightfall followed.

It was already twelve o'clock at night; Wang Miaomiao crept out of bed, slipped out of the dormitory, and clutching that Ice Fire Spirit Fruit, arrived at the school's small woods.

Upon reaching the depths of the woods, Wang Miaomiao asked with trepidation: "Are... are you there?"

"I am here. Do as I say."

Lin Feng's voice rang out by Wang Miaomiao's ear, yet Wang Miaomiao looked all around and did not see Lin Feng's figure.

She was still very afraid, so she said with a sobbing tone: "Where are you? Why can't I see you..."

"Do as I say!" Lin Feng said angrily.

Only then did Wang Miaomiao finally raise her left hand, bite her right index finger, and drip the bright red blood onto the Ice Fire Spirit Fruit.

The Ice Fire Spirit Fruit, half warm and half icy, made contact with the blood, and immediately began to flicker with an eerie red light; a rich fragrance even wafted out from it, scattering with the wind.

After only a few minutes, a series of footsteps approached from afar.

Wang Miaomiao thought it was Lin Feng who had appeared, so she turned her head to look with joy, but what appeared twenty meters in front of her was not Lin Feng, but a slender beast, resembling a leopard but with horns on its head!

Seeing this fierce beast, Wang Miaomiao was so scared that her legs went weak.

Because last night, it was precisely this beast that suddenly appeared, killing and devouring her two classmates!

Wang Miaomiao was terrified and wanted to scream, but her throat felt as if it were blocked by something invisible, unable to make a sound at all.

She could not even breathe, and could only watch helplessly as that Monster Beast walked toward her step by step.

Twenty meters.

Fifteen meters.

Ten meters.

Five meters.

That Monster Beast was getting closer and closer; Wang Miaomiao could almost smell the fishy stench emanating from its body.

Yet Lin Feng still had not appeared!

Could it be that she had been deceived? This Monster Beast was very powerful, so that person from the Dragon Soul saw this beast and was scared into abandoning her and fleeing?

Wang Miaomiao thought to herself, and her heart was shrouded in despair.

But Lin Feng had not fled at all.

He stood quietly in the canopy of a large tree nearby, watching the Monster Beast gradually approaching Wang Miaomiao.

At this very moment, Lin Feng had recognized it.

This Monster Beast was a Dragon-Horned Spirit Leopard!

The Dragon-Horned Spirit Leopard is a second-grade Monster Beast, corresponding to the Innate Realm of human Martial Artists, with two demon patterns in each of its eyes.

Moreover, the Dragon-Horned Spirit Leopard has two great innate divine abilities: the first is concealing its form, and the second is breath sensing.

This explained why this Dragon-Horned Spirit Leopard could come and go without a trace, and why surveillance cameras could not capture it at all!

Lin Feng felt very fortunate at this moment, fortunate that he was vigilant enough to have long since employed the Lingji Breath Concealment Method taught to him by Qijue Xuannv.

If not for this Concealment Technique, the Dragon-Horned Spirit Leopard might have already discovered him.

The Dragon-Horned Spirit Leopard had now approached to within less than three meters of Wang Miaomiao; its pair of eyes stared intensely at the Ice Fire Spirit Fruit in Wang Miaomiao's hand, showing that this was indeed its target!

The next moment, the Dragon-Horned Spirit Leopard pounced toward Wang Miaomiao, and Wang Miaomiao finally let out a shrill scream.

Now!

Lin Feng appeared before Wang Miaomiao like a ghost and threw a punch.

Boom!

The Dragon-Horned Spirit Leopard, equivalent to a human Innate Realm Martial Artist, was sent flying backward by Lin Feng's punch, vomiting blood repeatedly.

"Does human flesh taste good?" Lin Feng said coldly.

The Dragon-Horned Spirit Leopard let out a howl, and its two-meter-long figure actually gradually vanished into the air, its aura also fading away.

Without a doubt, this was its first innate divine ability!

"Want to run? Not a chance!"

After Lin Feng said this, he strode over and grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, and what was contained within the soil was the blood the Dragon-Horned Spirit Leopard had just spat out.

Lin Feng was about to use the Breath Identification Spirit Art, preparing to use this Martial Skill to track the Dragon-Horned Spirit Leopard, when to his surprise, Wang Miaomiao ran over with tears in her eyes and hugged Lin Feng's arm tightly.

"Thank you for saving me. Handsome, do you have a girlfriend? Will you let me be your girlfriend? I really admire you now, I am willing to be your..."

Lin Feng did not wait for this Wang Miaomiao to finish her sentence before kicking her away and chasing in a certain direction without looking back.

The oncoming gale blew past with a whistling sound; Lin Feng's figure did not stop, his speed astonishingly fast.

Before long, he had chased it to the suburbs.

But just as he entered the woods, he heard a shrill scream coming from within.

When he chased over to look, he saw a familiar figure!

One of the Eight Great Protectors of the Hidden Demon Sect, Demon Tiger!

And that Dragon-Horned Spirit Leopard was already dead before him, turned into a corpse!

"Friend, I discovered this Monster Beast first. You are a step late, so you had better... holy crap, Lin Feng, it's you!"

After Demon Tiger saw Lin Feng clearly, his expression changed drastically; he didn't even want the Monster Beast anymore, turned his head, and ran for his life.

"Truly, one finds what one is looking for without even trying!"

"Demon Tiger, we meet again!"

Lin Feng grinned hideously and chased after Demon Tiger as fast as lightning.

Demon Tiger suddenly dove into the ground with a thud, but Lin Feng immediately chased after him and slammed a heavy punch into the ground.

Consequently, the surrounding ground rippled like water, and a rumbling, thunder-like sound came from underground.

A few seconds later, the Demon Tiger violently burst out from the earth, and as soon as it landed, it spat out blood repeatedly.

"How can my luck be so bad that I run into you just by coming out for a walk!" the Demon Tiger said, gritting its teeth.

"I also didn't expect my luck to be so good; tracking a Monster Beast would actually lead me to you. This is truly an unexpected joy!" Lin Feng said playfully.

The Demon Tiger was truly filled with regret at this moment.

When he encountered the Dragon-Horned Spirit Leopard, he thought his good luck had arrived, but in the blink of an eye, upon meeting Lin Feng, he realized it was actually the Grim Reaper knocking at his door!

"Lin Feng, don't think you can catch me. As long as I want to leave, you absolutely cannot stop me!" The Demon Tiger spat out another mouthful of blood, then wiped his mouth and said viciously.

"Use whatever tricks you have, but don't try to use Earth Escape in front of me this time. As long as my reaction is fast enough, you won't have time to use Earth Escape to flee," Lin Feng said.

"I refuse to believe that..."

The Demon Tiger jumped up as he said this, preparing to burrow into the ground. Lin Feng thought he was going to use Earth Escape again, so he immediately clenched his fist and gathered his True Qi, preparing to do the same thing to force him out of the ground again.

But who could have expected that the Demon Tiger did not burrow into the ground; he suddenly performed an aerial spin, rushing toward the distance like an arrow released from a bow, and at the same time, he fired small silver balls that shot toward Lin Feng, covering the sky and earth!

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!

In the short span of one second, hundreds of explosions shook the forest!

Countless trees were blown apart at the waist, and a raging fire ignited within the forest!
