287 The Centipede King

Although Shen Fei had a divine weapon in his hand, it was still difficult for him to block the attack of the Giant Boar.

As for the Giant Boar, the more it fought, the more courageous it became. It continued to attack Shen Fei and waved its tails.

Shen Fei’s body was sent flying by a swipe of the tails and crashed into a large tree in the distance. A crisp sound rang out, and Shen Fei felt as if all the bones in his body had shattered.

“Damned beast!” Shen Fei angrily shouted.

He quickly took out a healing pill and swallowed it. His injuries quickly recovered after that. His rapid response to the pill was proof of his own cultivation level. Such a cultivation speed would be regarded as shocking to others.

Shen Fei’s heart was filled with pride at the thought of his own superiority, while he continued to flee into the depths of the valley.

The Giant Boar gave chase again. Along the way, Shen Fei suffered a few more attacks, and his body was injured once more.

This Giant Boar was too powerful. Be it in terms of strength or defense, it was just too terrifying. Even though Shen Fei had his own divine armor equipped, he was still heavily injured!

This made him feel despair. If he did not leave this place quickly, he would probably die here!

However, in this place, it was hard for Shen Fei to find a safe shelter. This was because this void was filled with ferocious beasts, and danger lurked everywhere.

“This place is too dangerous! I have to leave as soon as possible!” Shen Fei muttered.

And right at this moment, a series of strange sounds were heard. These strange sounds seemed to have some kind of magic, causing Shen Fei’s mind to become more and more unstable. It sounded like a lullaby, causing him to hallucinate. However, Shen Fei quickly reacted by circulating his Qi.

At this moment, a deep and aged voice suddenly appeared in his ear.

“Young man, do you want to live?”

“What?” Shen Fei’s brows furrowed and his eyes revealed a look of doubt.

This voice was obviously coming from somewhere else in the valley, and it was getting closer and closer. Moreover, the questioning voice seemed to be trying to stop him. Shen Fei did not dare to hesitate, and immediately flew toward the direction of the sound.

After experiencing another onslaught, Shen Fei finally arrived at the part of the valley where the voice came from. There was no trace of the voice in the valley.

‘What’s going on? Who spoke to me just now?’ Shen Fei was suspicious as he looked around, yet he did not find any more clues.

This confused Shen Fei even more. He carefully inspected the area, and finally confirmed that the sound earlier indeed came from this valley. Furthermore, Shen Fei was certain that the source of this voice was from where he stood at this moment!

Shen Fei was completely lost. He could not imagine where he went wrong.

“…Huh?”

Suddenly, Shen Fei discovered, to his shock, that a huge pit had appeared in the middle of the valley. This huge pit was circular in shape, and within the pit, there was a faint green fire. Under the burning of the green flame, there was a lot of black soil in the center of the huge pit.

All of this confirmed his previous guess that the sound had come from here.

A pitch-black, ferocious-looking centipede corpse was lying at the bottom of the pit, wagging its tail impatiently. On the centipede’s body, there was an ancient talisman that was constantly flashing.

“This is… The Centipede King?”

This talisman was an inheritance talisman, and the Centipede King was its creator.

“A Centipede King? Aren’t the centipedes in this world just regular demonic beasts?” Shen Fei muttered in his heart, his eyes filled with doubt.

The title of Centipede King was given to one of the centipede beasts that were considered a powerful existence in this world. Moreover, a Centipede King would have mastered special abilities.

But how powerful was its ability? In Shen Fei’s heart, he was looking forward to it!

“Huh, what’s this?” Shen Fei suddenly saw a bead lying beside the Centipede King’s corpse. The bead was green, and its surface was covered with all sorts of strange patterns. It looked quite beautiful.

“Could it be the essence of this demonic beast?” Shen Fei muttered to himself. He then walked to the bead and prepared to collect it.

Suddenly, the bead emitted a bright light and an astounding pressure suddenly burst out! Shen Fei tried to dodge it, but he was sent flying several dozen meters away instead by this tyrannical aura, and fell to the ground.

Shen Fei felt an intense pain all over his body from the fall. He also felt as if there were thousands of sharp knives stirring and tearing up his already-damaged spiritual core, causing him extreme pain!

Shen Fei cried out from the agony. Fortunately, he had managed to evade most of the impact. Otherwise, he would have been crushed into pieces by that tyrannical energy!

However, right at this moment, Shen Fei felt his spiritual core produce traces of abnormal fluctuations. This surprised him.

Shen Fei tried to control it, and the strange fluctuation in his spiritual core gradually calmed down.

However, in the next second, that presumed-dead Centipede King suddenly sneaked toward Shen Fei. A pair of sharp poisonous pincers raised to snap at Shen Fei!

Upon seeing this, Shen Fei dodged aside quickly. But this time, he realized that he was actually unable to completely avoid the Centipede King’s attack!

The Centipede King’s pincers snapped down and grabbed Shen Fei! This grab actually made a sharp whooshing sound of air, as if it could tear the realm apart!

‘Dammit, what the hell is with this Centipede King? It’s so powerful!’

Shen Fei’s heart was filled with hatred, but that did nothing for his helplessness! He did not even have the time to use any martial technique before his robe was torn apart by the Centipede King and it clawed into his flesh!

Shen Fei felt a piercing pain, and blood immediately started flowing out, dyeing his clothes red. However, he could not care about the pain in his body, and quickly swallowed the green bead.

Soon, Shen Fei realized that the green bead was actually emitting a green mist that permeated his surroundings.

“This is… spiritual Qi!” Shen Fei was shocked. The green mist actually contained extremely dense spiritual Qi! For the moment, the green mist was keeping the Centipede King at bay.

At this moment, Shen Fei did not have the time to think too much. He absorbed the spiritual Qi. Then, he began to refine the green mist and turned it into true Qi for himself.

“Phew…” Shen Fei let out a sigh of relief and slowly exhaled. He discovered that his true Qi was many times stronger than before!

‘Can I summon my spiritual beasts now?’

At the thought of this, Shen Fei closed his eyes and muttered, “Flame Owl, come out.”

In the next second, a fiery red shadow appeared in front of Shen Fei.

“Flame Owl, Blazing Charge!” Shen Fei ordered.
