Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future Webnovel - Chapter 297

297 The Golden Crow

Thus, the three of them continued to move forward.

Along the way, Shen Fei and Li Yuan were extremely vigilant and did not let their guard down. After all, they knew of the Flying Turtle Beast’s speed. Once they encountered danger, it would be difficult for them to escape.

Even so, Shen Fei and the others spent the entire hour on high alert as they made their way out of the mountain range. During this period, they had encountered two groups of beasts, but instead of being higher Count-rank beasts, they were all low- or mid-grade Count-rank beasts.

Under such circumstances, the three of them simply skirted around these groups and avoided making rash moves going forward.

After some scouting, Shen Fei finally found a place to rest. “I’ll go make something to eat,” he said.

“Alright.” Li Yuan and Aloy both nodded.

“You two stay here and don’t move.” After Shen Fei finished speaking, he walked into the distance.

Very quickly, Shen Fei returned with dried branches, some rocks, and some birds he caught.

“Let’s just make do with a barbeque!” Shen Fei said.

“Yeah!” Li Yuan and Aloy both nodded with enthusiasm.

Shen Fei used the rocks to set a campfire site, then he laid the branches inside the ring and started a fire. He then defeathered the birds, then used some sharp twigs to skewer them and place them beside the fire to roast.

After a quarter of an hour, the fragrance of cooked meat spread out. Smelling the delicious aroma, the three of them could not help but feel their stomachs growling.

Looking at Li Yuan and Aloy, Shen Fei smiled and said, “You must be hungry. You can start eating when they’re cooked.”

“Okay…” Li Yuan and Aloy nodded like obedient children.

When Shen Fei saw this, he laughed. Then, he began to slowly roast a bird leg.

“Wow, it smells so good! I didn’t expect the birds I caught in this black hole to be so good! It’s the most delicious meat I’ve ever had!”

This time, Li Yuan and Aloy could not hold it in any longer and began eating their share. When Shen Fei saw this, he smiled and continued to eat while tending the fire.

While he was keeping himself busy, a loud noise suddenly rang out. As the noise continued, it grew clearer with each cry. Even their surroundings were shaking.

Hearing this cry, Li Yuan and Aloy felt an ominous premonition in their hearts. They grew nervous and looked worried once more.

Shen Fei had also stopped what he was doing. He raised his head and gazed into the distance with a serious look on his face. At this moment, a loud explosion was heard. This time, it came from far away and was accompanied by a rumbling sound. It seemed to be coming from the horizon.

Shen Fei’s expression grew more serious, because the sound was too terrifying. It was definitely a huge creature, and it carried a strong pressure, which made all the hair on his body stand up. The blood in his body was suddenly boiling.

“What kind of monster is it?”

Li Yuan and Aloy had also noticed that the sound was unusual, and they looked up ahead. Right in front of their eyes, a huge creature was flying toward them from the sky. It had a very thick tail that was dozens of meters long. It also had a metallic shine to it, and looked scary.

“…It’s a Golden Crow?!” Aloy exclaimed.

This golden crow’s size was quite similar to the Golden Crows she had seen before, but it was much larger and more ferocious.

“I’ve read about them in an ancient book. It’s said that the Golden Crow is a legendary beast and possesses extraordinary power. Furthermore, these Golden Crows were extremely rare. Their entire race was said to live at the bottom of the ocean and would not easily leave it.”

“What’s up with this one then?” Li Yuan asked with a frown.

“This Golden Crow is a divine beast and possesses extremely high intelligence.” Shen Fei took over the explanation. “It’s said that divine beasts are all naturally intelligent species, and the cultivation techniques that they adopt are all very powerful.

“It was said that some divine beasts were born with innate abilities that allowed them to fly and burrow, move mountains and fill seas. This innate ability was their natural talent.

“I heard from the teachers that some divine beasts have other talents. For example, they could control the four elements of wind, water, lightning, ice, and fire. But there are no gods in this black hole, so legends are just legends. I’ve never seen one with my own eyes.

“I think that the Golden Crow must be naturally gifted, that’s why he has such a powerful talent. Not only that, but he can also fly.”

Hearing this, Li Yuan’s face immediately turned pale. He knew that the Golden Crow was an invincible existence in the world of cultivators. In their eyes, the Golden Crow had transcended the category of things that could be dealt with by humans.

As though he could read his thoughts, Shen Fei shook his head and said, “Although it’s very powerful, its intelligence is quite low. It only knows how to kill and not think.”

However, the Golden Crow did not take the initiative to attack Shen Fei and the other two… It simply flew nearby and used its sharp eyes to look at them. Moreover, they could feel that in its eyes, other than brutality, there was also a hint of manic bloodthirst.

However, this was only a facade. It would not attack people.

“It’s domesticated. There are restrictions in this black hole realm. As long as it doesn’t leave this realm, it won’t attack anyone, including us!”

Li Yuan understood what he said and heaved a sigh of relief. “I see. No wonder it didn’t attack us.”

Shen Fei then continued, “I observed it carefully just now. This golden Crow is only a youngling and has yet to evolve. Furthermore, its body is also weak, probably only at the initial stage of the God rank.” As he spoke, a cruel sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

“A youngling?” Hearing Shen Fei’s words, Li Yuan and Aloy were stunned. They clearly did not expect to encounter an infant Golden Crow. This was really beyond their expectations.

“If my guess is correct, it’s most likely not an adult yet,” Shen Fei said indifferently.

“How do you know?” Li Yuan asked, puzzled.

Shen Fei shrugged his shoulders and said, “I just carefully observed it. I thought something was strange. Golden Crows can only fly after they reach adulthood. Moreover, adult Golden Crows were the most dangerous because they already possessed a certain level of intelligence.

“However, that Golden Crow is still underage, so it’s a bit abnormal for it to be able to fly!”

Li Yuan pondered for a moment and said, “Could it be that this Golden Crow encountered some special situation in the process of being tamed, causing it to quickly develop the ability to fly?”
