Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future Chapter 143 – 143 Reuniting In The Forest

143 Reuniting In The Forest
Upon hearing this voice, Shen Fei looked behind him.

Aloy, who had previously agreed to stay in the camp, was walking to the two of them with her Ice Spirit.

“What are you doing here?” Taking a few steps forward, Shen Fei frowned in confusion. ‘Did something happen at the camp?'

“You've only left for a short while, and the students there have almost gone mad.” Aloy shrugged her shoulders helplessly and smiled a bitter smile.

“To find you, Li Yuan and the others not only flipped open all the tents in the camp, he even mobilized all his Beastmasters to attack me and Luo Ying.”

“What?” At hearing this, Qian Yu quickly came over and looked at Aloy with concern. He only heaved a sigh of relief after he confirmed that she was not injured. “Is Luo Ying okay now?”

“I'm not sure. I was already out when they attacked the watchtower. I don't know how she's doing now.”

Aloy lowered her head slightly, and the emotions in her eyes gradually became complicated.

“I did say that I would leave with her, but Luo Ying said she had a responsibility and was determined to stay in the camp. I hope she's fine.”

“Don't you worry about her strength,” Qian Yu said to Aloy gently. “Luo Ying's strength is more than enough to deal with these students. Rather than worrying about her, I should spend more time improving myself.”

“Then let's go.” Shen Fei got his Flame Owl to take the lead in front of them as they headed toward the gathering beasts in the jungle.

…

Perhaps it was because the exotic beast horde was coming, but the jungle, which was usually gloomy enough, seemed even gloomier at this moment.

A bird of prey with sharp claws perched on the tree branches. Its sharp eyes stared straight at the top of Shen Fei's and the others' heads.

“Roar!”

Aloy's Ice Spirit arched its body and roared at the birds on the tree. The majestic voice immediately scared away the ill-intentioned exotic beasts.

“Your spirit beast looks very powerful, Aloy.”

Qian Yu's interest was immediately piqued. He carefully evaluated Aloy's spirit beast, and his eyes revealed his admiration. “This body, this spirit, it seems that you've put in a lot of effort into cultivating it!”

“Naturally.” Aloy smiled and nodded. “Half of the treasures in the mayor's treasury went into this guy's stomach.”

At this point, Aloy reached out and touched the spotted snow-white fur of the Ice Spirit.

Looking at her spirit beast, Shen Fei silently frowned. The first time he saw the Ice Spirit, it did not have black spots. ‘Could it be that its fur would gradually turn from white to black as its ability improves?'

“What's with the black parts of its body?”

“You're talking about these black spots, right?” Aloy slowly caressed the Ice Spirit, her eyes filled with pity.

“What's that?” Qian Yu silently frowned.

“Do you remember the method I told you before? If you want to become stronger, you have to pay a price. Once a spirit beast eats an exotic beast's internal organs, the exotic beast's poison will accumulate in its body.”

At this point, Aloy reached out and pressed on the black spots on the Ice Spirit's body. “These black spots are the toxins from the exotic beast that hasn't been metabolized yet. But I'm still uncertain. The Ice Spirit's body is in good condition. It should have completely been metabolized by now.”

When he heard this, Qian Yu immediately pinched the bag hanging by his side with some worry. It was filled to the brim with exotic beast meat that he and Shen Fei had collected while they were walking through the jungle.

“Then, if it didn't feed on organs but lean meat instead, would the poison be reduced?”

At this point, Qian Yu directly took out the wriggling purple meat from his pocket and handed it to Aloy.

Aloy glanced at it briefly and nodded. “It will, but the exotic beast's poison is directly proportional to the strength of its abilities. So, even though the amount of poison obtained is relatively small, the increase in strength will also be reduced accordingly.”

“Take this.” Aloy lowered her eyes and took out a beating dark-purple exotic beast heart from her storage ring.

The moment she took it out, a smell like sour wine wafted around them. Just by smelling this familiar scent caused Shen Fei to subconsciously cover his nose.

Qian Yu quickly reached out and took the huge heart from Aloy's hands.

Aloy retracted her hand and said calmly, “As long as you let your spirit beast eat this heart, it should be able to improve quite a bit. You should just throw away that bit of flesh.”

“Many thanks!” Qian Yu nodded gratefully at Aloy and immediately kept the still-beating heart into his storage ring.

Shen Fei covered his nose and walked over, patting Aloy's shoulder. “Aloy, do you still have any more exotic beast organs?”

“There's plenty, take it.” Aloy took out another heart from her ring and stuffed it into Shen Fei's hand.

‘F*ck, this smell…' Shen Fei quickly took a deep breath and held it.

“Are you planning to give it to the Three-clawed Golden Dragon? Or the Flame Owl?”

Shen Fei held his breath and quickly shook his head. “I just want to take a look.”

Although the smell was very strong, when he saw the organ, he had an urge to hold it in his palm. Shen Fei had only reached out to receive the beating heart from Aloy when the talent in his mind immediately gave him a notification.

[An exotic beast's internal organ that can be upgraded has been detected. Do you want to upgrade?]

‘This thing can be upgraded, too?'

Shen Fei held the beating purple organ in his hand with some doubt. Black blood seeped from it, and the smell of sour wine became more distinct.

“Ugh…” Shen Fei gulped and resisted the urge to vomit. He held the heart in his hand a little further away.

It was better to keep it for later. He did not want to reveal his talent to Aloy and Qian Yu yet—it was still too early.

“It's a little late now.” Qian Yu yawned and squinted at the two people around him. “Let's find a place to set up camp first. We'll go kill some exotic beasts after we've recovered our energy.”

“Alright.” Aloy nodded in agreement. “However, it's best not to set up a tent on the ground.” As she said this, she looked around the jungle warily. “I can feel a very strong exotic beast energy here. To be safe, we'll spend the night on a tree, and we'll take turns to keep watch.

“Sure.” Shen Fei nodded as he began to plan in his mind.

“I still have a lot of energy. You guys can go and rest first. I'll keep watch tonight.”
