“Alright, stop screaming. You won’t die from the stab!” Leng Ruoxue said to the fire rhinoceros, which was screaming miserably from being stabbed in the butt. She didn’t really intend to kill it; she just wanted to scare it. However, it wasn’t because she couldn’t do it. She just felt that killing them would be letting them off too lightly. How could these fire rhinoceroses compensate for her big brother’s injuries and grievances just by dying? Thus, she was more inclined to mental torture. After all, mental torture was always more effective than physical torture when dealing with enemies.
“Y-you are a demon!” the fat fire rhinoceros stabbed in the butt cried out. Other humans would run away when they saw them, but these two detestable humans actually came knocking on their door. Hmph! These two detestable humans will die for sure when the king comes. The king will definitely take revenge for this pain, the fat fire rhinoceros muttered in his head.
Leng Ruoxue knew that the fire rhinoceros king was almost here, as she heard the sound of galloping drawing close. It seems to have brought a lot of subordinates. Come on, the more, the merrier.
“What a brazen human! How dare you bully my tribe in my territory!” roared the fire rhinoceros king, which was nearly twice the size of an ordinary fire rhinoceros. Its thick nostrils spurted out flames continuously. It was very angry, and the consequences would be serious.
“So what if this young lady is bullying them? What can you do to me?” Leng Ruoxue deliberately provoked. She didn’t expect this fire rhinoceros king to be a level five holy beast. Moreover, it didn’t even bat an eyelid about Quill, a level eight holy beast, just because it had so many subordinates. It’s really arrogant. Very good. This is what I like. It will be satisfying to tidy them up this way. She felt incomparably happy looking at the nearly one thousand fire rhinoceroses in front of her.
“Human, you will regret this!” the fire rhinoceros king bellowed furiously, its bell-sized eyes widening.
“Go, let this human taste the power of our fire rhinoceros tribe!” the fire rhinoceros king roared. All the spirit beasts in the Misty Wood knew that it had a bad temper, so no beast dared to provoke it. It had© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
been too used to its status as the king here, which was why it didn’t do anything when the eagle first caught a fire rhinoceros. It knew about it, but it didn’t pay too much attention since these people were of a higher level, and it thought they were just passing through. The death of one or two fire rhinoceroses wasn’t a big deal to him after all. The forest was always a place where the strong preyed on the weak. But now, they had caught more than a dozen advanced fire rhinoceroses in a row, causing its tribe to panic. Therefore, it was impossible for it, the fire rhinoceros king, to overlook it. Fortunately, its tribe was huge, so it wasn’t afraid of the eagle. As for these two humans, they were even less worthy of his attention because they were just two people who came to court death in its eyes.
Upon their king’s orders, the fire rhinoceroses immediately surrounded Leng Ruoxue and Ye Chen. They glared at the two of them fiercely, especially the fat fire rhinoceros that had just been stabbed in the butt.
“Big or small?” Leng Ruoxue asked.
“I’ll take the big one and leave the small ones for you to practice your sword moves.” Ye Chen knew that Xue’er hadn’t really tested the power of her Meteor Sword Technique yet.
“Exactly to my liking. Quill, keep an eye on them and don’t let them escape,” Leng Ruoxue ordered.
“Yes, Master.” Quill flew into the air, ready to capture fire rhinoceroses at any moment.
“Big Rhino, where are you looking? I’m your opponent.” The fire rhinoceros king’s lack of focus made Ye Chen very displeased.
Leng Ruoxue looked at the nearly one thousand fire rhinoceroses around her, raised the sword in her hand, and used ‘Meteor Moon Slash’. A sword beam shot at the fire rhinoceroses like a shooting star. She didn’t infuse spiritual power into the Meteor Moon Slash just now, so it was just a pure sword move. But it left the thick-skinned fire rhinoceroses covered in wounds. Then she agilely weaved between the clumsy fire rhinoceroses and used ‘Blazing Tree Silver Flower’. The sword beams infused
with fire-attribute spiritual power swept at the fire rhinoceroses like blazing shooting stars, instantly killing more than half of them. She was extremely fast, and most of the clumsy fire rhinoceroses died before they could react. Seeing that the fire rhinoceroses were either dead or wounded and could no longer attack, Leng Ruoxue stopped and looked over at Ye Chen.
Leng Ruoxue couldn’t help but become a little speechless when she saw Ye Chen using only his fist to beat up the fire rhinoceros king until it was unrecognizable and kneeling on the ground begging for mercy. How tough must this freak’s fist be to beat the fire rhinoceros king to such a state?
“Great masters, please spare me. It’s all my fault for failing to recognize your greatness. Boohoo…” the fire rhinoceros king pleaded.
“…”
“Don’t worry. We won’t kill you now,” Leng Ruoxue said. She believed that the fire rhinoceros king must have now suffered a serious blow, both physically and mentally.
“As long as you answer my questions honestly, and your answers satisfy me, I will let you go.”
“Really?” the fire rhinoceros king asked fearfully. It was really scared of these two humans now. Where did these demons come from? Boohoo…
“You can choose not to believe me if you want to die now,” Leng Ruoxue said impatiently.
“I believe you. I definitely believe you!” the fire rhinoceros king said hurriedly. How could it dare not believe her?
“Very good. Then let me ask you, did your tribe almost kill a man a month ago?” Leng Ruoxue asked.
“How do you know about that?” The fire rhinoceros king was startled. Are these two demons here to avenge that man?
“Why did you want to kill him?” Leng Ruoxue asked while suppressing her anger.
“We didn’t want to kill him. We wanted to kill a woman who came to steal our fire rhinoceros fruits,” the fire rhinoceros king said aggrievedly. Fire rhinoceros fruits were their favorite fruit to eat, and they were very important to them. Anyone who wanted to steal them had to die.
“Tell me what happened in detail.” Leng Ruoxue ordered.
“Yes… Yes.” The fire rhinoceros king explained the situation at the time in great detail, and then it looked at Leng Ruoxue with a pleading gaze. Boohoo… I don’t want to die!
“What did that woman look like?” Leng Ruoxue asked. It turned out that the fire rhinoceros king was also seriously injured at the time, which was why that woman was lucky to have survived.
“I can’t say. She should be very beautiful according to human standards!” the fire rhinoceros king said. Fire rhinoceroses didn’t like human women.
