Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future Webnovel - Chapter 298

298 A Fruitful Experience

Shen Fei shook his head. “No matter what, we have to be careful and mustn’t be careless. Otherwise, we’d end up with unwanted consequences!”

At this moment, the Golden Crow let out a series of cries. Shen Fei raised his head and saw that it was about to fly over them, but it was still a few hundred meters away.

Li Yuan and Aloy were so scared that their faces turned pale.

“What do we do? Are we going to die here today?” Li Yuan’s face was filled with despair.

!!
“Leave it to me.” Shen Fei’s brows twitched as he quickly summoned the Flame Owl. “Flame Owl, come out and fight the Golden Crow.”

The Flame Owl answered his summon. As soon as it appeared, it roared and flapped its wings rapidly. It then quickly attacked the Golden Crow above with two balls of black flames.

The Golden Crow’s eyes flashed with fear when it saw the Flame Owl. It immediately turned around and fled in another direction.

Seeing this, the Flame Owl quickly gave chase and caught up to the Golden Crow in a blink.

The Flame Owl crashed into the Golden Crow’s body with a bang. A deep claw mark appeared on the Crow’s skin, and a stream of blood slowly flowed out.

The Golden Crow let out a shrill cry. The Flame Owl also let out a furious screech of its own as its body continued to strike the Golden Crow.

The exotic beast rolled sideways and its body quickly shrank. Suddenly, it became an egg-sized Golden Crow.

“Coo!” The Flame Owl also returned to its original size and let out a shrill cry. It then opened its huge mouth and spat out a thick red flame at the Golden Crow.

“Caw!” The Golden Crow let out a pained cry as its body struggled, but it was deeply entangled by the red flames.

The Golden Crow was enraged again by the attack of the Flame Owl. It howled in anger, and sharp thorns extended from its body. In an instant, the blade-like thorns grew to dozens of feet long. They glinted coldly, ready to cut through anything.

Suddenly, the shadow of a black whip came down on the Golden Crow’s back.

Crack!

The Golden Crow’s back was struck by the whip, and the pain caused its body to tremble violently. Several feathers on its body fell off. The Golden Crow was quite seriously injured.

“Gotcha!”

Li Yuan and Aloy were both shocked by this. They saw a crack form on the Golden Crow’s body, from which blood was constantly flowing out and dripping onto the ground, raising a cloud of dust. It was as if blood flowers were blooming.

The Golden Crow’s body trembled uncontrollably in pain. Its eyes turned scarlet, and its wings flapped rapidly as if it was struggling to escape. Unfortunately, its strength was not enough to escape the restraints of the Flame Owl.

All of a sudden, the Flame Owl let out an angry cry. It opened its mouth and shot a fireball straight into the Golden Crow’s mouth.

As the flame burned, the smell of burning meat spread through the air.

Shen Fei patted his spirit beast’s head and praised it, “Good job, Flame Owl.”

“Coo!” The Flame Owl cried out excitedly to show that it was enjoying the praise.

Li Yuan and Aloy looked at each other, their faces filled with shock. Li Yuan had never thought that this clumsy-looking Flame Owl would have such power. It could even devour the Golden Crow. This was simply unbelievable!

At this moment, his understanding of Shen Fei had increased a little. After all, he was definitely not an ordinary Beastmaster if he was able to raise such a powerful spirit beast.

…

The allotted week passed by quickly. On the last day, the students who had entered the black hole all appeared at the exit.

“I finally completed my mission. I’ll definitely pass this assessment.”

“We did it!”

“That’s great, I finally completed my mission, too.”

“Yup! It was so hard! This mission really tired me out.”

All the participants chattered among themselves.

At this moment, a wisp of white smoke appeared, and it gradually formed the shape of a man. It was none other than the butler of the mayor’s mansion.

“Your seven days are up. I believe everyone has gained a lot from this trip to the black hole.” The butler of the mayor’s mansion stroked his beard and nodded lightly.

“Of course. Our trip to the black hole was fruitful. Not only did we find a teleportation jade talisman, we even got a Golden Crow’s egg.”

“We also found two demonic beasts with golden cores, as well as a few medicinal herbs to refine the foundation-building pill,” a student chimed in.

The other students nodded in agreement.

As for the butler, when he heard this, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face. He coughed and said, “Ahem. Students, you’ve all worked hard. How about this, we’ll have a huge banquet at the mayor’s mansion tonight to celebrate your completion of the black hole mission and your bountiful harvest.”

The students immediately showed surprised expressions and unanimously said, “Thank you, sir butler of the mayor’s mansion!”

They were all grinning as they chatted. They were utterly ecstatic and wore joyful looks on their faces.

“This is awesome!”

“It’s really great!”

“I can finally go home!”

In the black hole, they had experienced many dangerous places, but they had also gained a lot.

Some of them had killed demonic beasts, some of them had killed magical beasts, and some of them had even obtained precious materials. It could be said that this was a very fruitful experience. Everyone felt unbridled happiness.

“You have all passed the test.” The butler of the mayor’s mansion bowed to the students soberly. “Alright, let’s go out together. The mayor has waited long for us.”

The steward waved his hand, signaling for everyone to follow him out of the black hole.

When they exited, everyone appeared outside a palace. The palace was surrounded by a circle of guards. These guards were all full of energy and had aggressive and inviolable demeanors.

At the entrance of the palace stood a figure—Mayor Edward.

At this moment, Edward was dressed in a gorgeous robe. He carried a longsword on his back and had a glass of wine in his hand. As he drank, he looked at the many students in front of him with a deep smile in his eyes.

When they saw him, Shen Fei and the other students all bowed and said, “Greetings, Lord Mayor!”

“No need for formalities! You’re all outstanding talents of the younger generation,” Edward said casually. “I naturally have high hopes for you. However, life and death are constantly changing in the black hole. Therefore, I hope you can remember this lesson and not make the same mistakes again. Otherwise, you shall have to answer to me.”

Upon hearing this, many of the students were on high alert, and their expressions turned ugly.

“There’s no need to be so nervous.”
