Chapter 8: Encounter

"Third-Tier magic beast, Earth Armor Dragon's feces? This is the periphery of the Magic Beast Forest."

"I haven't even entered a hundred miles, and there are traces of Third-Tier magic beasts!"

Lu Fan's gaze turned cold. Third-Tier magic beasts were equivalent to Tendon Refining Realm Martial Masters. Even if Wang Wu from yesterday faced it, she definitely wouldn't be a match and could only flee.

"Roar!"

Just then, a low beast roar rang out. Ten zhang away, a pitch-black leopard suddenly appeared.

The sky was already a bit dark at this time. At first glance, it looked like two bright silver firelights floating in the void.

"Second-Tier peak magic beast, Shadow Leopard! This is bad, my True Qi is consumed seven or eight times, I'm definitely not a match!"

Lu Fan's face sank, he didn't even dare to breathe, looking for a way to escape, fearing to annoy this Shadow Leopard.

The Shadow Leopard sniffed slightly, then leaped, pouncing toward the Thorn Tiger's roasted meat.

It turned out that this thing was attracted by the fragrance of the Thorn Tiger roasted by Lu Fan. This beast was also a connoisseur.

The Shadow Leopard reached out its front claws, rummaged inside the Thorn Tiger's corpse, but it was empty, and the expected magic crystal did not appear.

"Roar!"

The Shadow Leopard roared, suddenly raised its eyes, its body arched, as if it would pounce out the next moment.

"This is bad!"

Lu Fan's face changed. Without thinking, he turned his body and leaped out.

Just kidding, not to mention his current state, even if he were intact, a Second-Tier peak magic beast was not something he could deal with.

Unless he could have a handy weapon, at least at the Spirit Tool level, he would have a glimmer of hope.

Magic beasts were different from Martial Artists. Their strength was often one level higher than human Martial Artists. A Second-Tier peak magic beast was directly chasing a Third-Tier Tendon Refining Realm Martial Master. Ye Fei was not a match yet.

Just as Lu Fan turned, the Shadow Leopard had already pounced. In the blink of an eye, it caught up with Ye Fei. With a "rip," Ye Fei's figure shattered, but it was just an afterimage.

Lu Fan dodged left and right, his speed incredibly fast in a short time.

Originally, the sky was dim, and the air was gradually cold, but this time, for some reason, there was a sense of heat and irritability.

"Bang," the Shadow Leopard slapped a towering tree as thick as a zhang, and it shattered immediately, turning into wood chips.

Lu Fan's scalp was numb. Just a little bit more, and he would have been hit by the Shadow Leopard.

"No choice, only this way!" Lu Fan gritted his teeth, looked at the Earth Armor Dragon feces in his hand, and had an idea.

Suddenly, his body paused in the air, then he swung his arm, Blazing Fire True Qi erupted, pushing Ye Fei's body in the air, moving three zhang horizontally, and the Shadow Leopard missed.

"Hmph! Beast, come on!"

Lu Fan sneered, looking at the Shadow Leopard provocatively, and his body leaped out again.

One man and one beast, one chasing and one fleeing, Lu Fan was still as sorry as before, but it was different from before.

Every time he advanced dozens of zhang, he would stop, adjust his direction, no longer a headless fly, just seeking to survive.

Half an hour later, the sky was completely dark, and the trees around were incredibly tall.

He had already entered a hundred miles into the Magic Beast Forest, dim, and even the stars and moon in the sky were nowhere to be seen.

"Reached! It's here!"

Already panting, Lu Fan, who was in a sorry state, had a face full of surprise, then didn't run away anymore.

Just as his body paused, he turned around, raised a breath of True Qi, and swung it out.

"Bang," Blazing Fire True Qi didn't hold back at all, using as much as he had. It turned into a brilliant fire group the size of a zhang, strength surging, blazing fire burning, shrouding the Shadow Leopard. "Go to hell! Beast!"

The Shadow Leopard was a Second-Tier peak magic beast, and it was not something Lu Fan could deal with in his current state.

He just made a move to lure the Third-Tier magic beast Earth Armor Dragon out.

Magic beasts had strict territorial concepts, and they would definitely fight to the death, so he could take the opportunity to escape. He didn't have the idea of a fisherman profiting.

However, at this moment, the Shadow Leopard roared, and the powerful aura of the Earth Armor Dragon had already been sniffed out, clearly surging with the firelight.

Lu Fan had been holding the Earth Armor Dragon feces he found earlier in his hand.

At this moment, it erupted, shattering the thing, exploding together with the flames burned by the Blazing Fire True Qi. In the eyes of the Shadow Leopard, it was the Earth Armor Dragon itself.

Suddenly howling, the Shadow Leopard turned around, tucked its tail, drilled into the bushes, and disappeared without a trace.

"I knew this beast would fall for it!" Ye Fei had a smile on his face, very satisfied, and clapped his hands.

"Third-Tier magic beasts are naturally oppressive to Second-Tier magic beasts. You beast actually dared to follow, your guts are not small, but you fell for it this time!"

He composed his mind, didn't dare to be careless. Although the Shadow Leopard fled in panic, this was the Earth Armor Dragon's territory, so he had to retreat quickly, otherwise, there would be more trouble.

With a thought, his momentum converged, and he was about to leave quietly, when a loud explosion rang out.

A vibration came from the small hill on the left, earth-shattering, followed by a surprised shout and a roar from a magic beast that had been angered.

"Earth Armor Dragon's roar? Who dares to anger this beast?" Lu Fan was slightly stunned, his mind turning rapidly.

The steps he had already taken paused, his body turned, he stood on tiptoe, and sneaked toward the small hill.

Firelight suddenly ignited, and more than a dozen young men and women appeared, all embroidered with a "Sword" mark on their chests. They were also students of Tianyuan Academy, clearly prepared, hunting the Earth Armor Dragon here.

These students were dressed in expensive clothes, and they didn't look like commoners, but their cultivation was not very good.

Only one man and one woman were in the Gathering Essence Realm, and the rest were all in the Blood Condensation Realm. Hunting the Earth Armor Dragon was completely wishful thinking.

Lu Fan saw the cultivation of these people clearly and couldn't help but shake his head. These people had no self-knowledge, and it seemed they were also ignorant, arrogant children.

"Everyone don't panic, take out the heavy crossbows, and shoot together!"

The girl with Gathering Essence Realm cultivation gave a clear shout, immediately calming the hearts of the messy crowd around.

One after another, they took out the steel repeating crossbows from behind them. A series of mechanical sounds rang out, and cold arrow light suddenly lit up in the dark night, shrouding the darkness.

Only then did Lu Fan see the appearance of the Earth Armor Dragon. It had a pitch-black hard armor and a body more than three zhang long, like a big lizard. However, at this moment, it was trapped by a net.

"Light flowing, runes appearing, it's actually a Third-Tier Art Refining Demon-Suppressing Trap. No wonder these guys are so bold!"

Lu Fan suddenly realized and understood the confidence of these students.

The overwhelming arrows were like fine rain, hitting the Earth Armor Dragon, "Clang, clang" sounds, one after another, spreading miles away.

"The Earth Armor Dragon's hard armor is comparable to a Spirit Tool. In terms of defense, it is chasing a Fourth-Tier magic beast, enough to squeeze into the ranks of mid-tier magic beasts. These people are going to be unlucky!"

Lu Fan sighed, not expecting these people to be so stupid.

Steel repeating crossbows were enough to deal with ordinary Third-Tier magic beasts, but they were of no use against the Earth Armor Dragon, just scratching an itch.

"Bad! Ling'er, these steel repeating crossbows can't break the Earth Armor Dragon's defense. I'm afraid it won't be long before this thing escapes the Art Refining Trap!"

The other Gathering Essence Realm Martial Artist was a youth of seventeen or eighteen, but at this moment, he had a panicked face and already had the intention to flee.

"Hmph! Ling'er, these steel repeating crossbows were provided by you. Didn't you guarantee me that it would be foolproof?"

The girl curled her lips, a look of questioning on her pretty face, "Forget it, I knew you were useless. I'll do it myself!"

As soon as the girl finished speaking, her body flashed, like a little deer, jumping and full of agility.

"Thunder Spirit Hammer!"

She gave a clear shout, and a deep blue jade hammer the size of a palm flew out of her hand, smashing toward the Earth Armor Dragon.

"Boom" a loud shock, a thick electric light surged out, shooting along the net, electric snakes and firelight, entering the Earth Armor Dragon's body.

"Roar!" The Earth Armor Dragon howled, the previous arrow shooting was just scratching an itch, now it felt the pain.

Suddenly it went crazy, its four limbs waved, and the Third-Tier Art Refining Trap was like paper, shattering with a crash.

"Not good! The Earth Armor Dragon escaped, we're dead!"

"How is this possible? Brother Wu, the Third-Tier Art Refining Trap is enough to trap a Third-Tier peak magic beast for an hour. This is only a stick of incense..."

The girl called "Ling'er" had a panicked face at this moment.

No choice, she could only swing the Spirit Tool "Thunder Spirit Hammer" in her hand again.

However, a Third-Tier magic beast was not something she, a Gathering Essence Realm early-stage Martial Warrior, could deal with. After two or three moves, she was already in danger.

As for her companions behind her, they were all panicked. Although the steel repeating crossbows had been reloaded, no one could remember.

"Am I, Xiao Ling'er, going to die here?"

The girl murmured, her True Qi exhausted, and she could only close her eyes and wait for death.

"Hehe! Little girl, don't be afraid! The King of Hell wants you to die at the third watch, but Fei Shao guarantees you until the fifth watch!"

Xiao Ling'er was slightly stunned. A whirlwind rolled in front of her, and a youth who didn't look much older than her appeared in front of her, grabbed the "Thunder Spirit Hammer" from her hand, turned, and smashed it out.

Lu Fan stood proudly, his True Qi erupting to the extreme, his clothes fluttering, his momentum burning, like a god of thunder appearing in the world.

The jade hammer, originally the size of a palm, expanded tenfold at this moment.

"Thunder overcomes earth, you beast, go die!" Ye Fei laughed out loud. The Third-Tier magic beast that had made him fearful just now had no deterrent power at all.

Thunder light poured down, roaring and shaking. The whole small hill was shaking, bright as day, and a large smear of thunder light, like liquid, immediately wrapped around the Earth Armor Dragon's body.

The Earth Armor Dragon, which had been fierce just a moment ago, was now trembling all over, howling endlessly.

When the thunder light dissipated, the Third-Tier magic beast Earth Armor Dragon was dead, and there was even a faint smell of meat coming from the Earth Armor Dragon's seven orifices.

Xiao Ling'er widened her eyes, looking incredible, her bright eyes shining like stars. ===== CHAPTER 9 =====
