My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome

Chapter 87: Chapter 86 Life Hymn (1/3)

“Woof!”

Zhen E let out a furious howl as a shield emerged on the surface of its body. Its hind legs kicked up a bit of sand and dust, fearlessly charging toward the pillar of fire.

Yang Qian clenched his fists, his body slightly trembling.

He clearly knew that Zhen E stood no chance against the Nine-tailed Demon Fox, especially since it was taking the blow head-on to protect them.

Shao Zifeng paid no attention to the others, his focus entirely on the changes occurring in the state of the deer.

Qiuqiu lay on Shao Zifeng’s back, its little head resting on his shoulder, nostrils twitching continuously. It was sucking on its paw with saliva dripping down.

...

The smell of Tuantuan Number One is so nice!

In the mist-rolling Illusory Forest, an illusory adult deer elegantly moved and leaped among the trees, before kneeling respectfully in front of the central ancient tree, its head bowed in profound devotion.

The ancient tree split open in the middle, and a woman clad in a complicated dress, crowned with a laurel wreath, and holding a scepter, stepped out from within the tree. Her features were indistinct, her words like a hymn. The Illusory Forest’s flora and fauna swayed with her song, joining in a mysterious, chanting melody.

The woman with the blurred face raised her scepter, and a burst of soft light exploded, illuminating every corner of the forest.

The Stone-armored Giant Rhinoceros felt a mystical power descend, its maimed body being baptized by life energy. Thrilled as if drought-stricken land had encountered sweet rain, it trembled gently and bowed its head as devoutly as the illusory deer.

Its body was washed over and over, and small cracks began to show signs of healing.

Shao Zifeng observed carefully. This was his first time witnessing the deer use this skill, but it was quite different from what he had envisaged.

After exerting so much effort, this Illusory Forest… it’s so small.

The largest of the Illusory Ancient Trees wasn’t even as tall as Shao Zifeng, let alone the others.

Could it be because the deer’s strength is too weak?

Shao Zifeng rubbed his chin and nodded to himself, thinking it was very likely the reason.

“Bang!”

A dark shadow came flying backward, passing through layers of flames and brutally crashing into the Illusory Forest, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Zhen E’s bone armor was shattered, its body covered in bloodstains. Its fur was singed, steaming hot, and its hind leg was broken, twisted grotesquely.

Zhen E struggled a few times. As it opened its mouth, several bloodstained teeth fell to the ground.

Seeing those teeth, Qiuqiu’s eyes lit up.

“Zhen E!”

Yang Qian’s face was filled with concern. Just as he was about to step forward, he was held back by Shao Zifeng, who gave him a slight shake of the head.

Right then, another change occurred in the forest.

Under the soft green light, Zhen E shivered as it struggled to its feet, eyes widening, body shaking uncontrollably.

The burns on its body quickly scabbed over and fell off, its bone armor healed, and the leg bones swiftly mended with a cringe-worthy scraping sound.

When the last scab fell off, revealing soft, unblemished skin, Zhen E couldn’t hold back anymore. It raised its head, issuing a cry even higher than the Stone-armored Giant Rhinoceros… an excited howl. @@novelbin@@

In Yang Qian’s incredulous gaze, Zhen E energetically stood up. With a fierce look, it stared down the Nine-tailed Fox, which was madly howling within the flames. Its missing teeth flashed a hint of cold light, as it lunged back into the sea of fire.

…

“Awoo~”

Zhen E, screaming in midair, adjusted its trajectory and skillfully landed next to the giant rhino, brushing past the sea of fire.

Before long, it was back on its feet again, charged with excitement, and dashed back into the fray.

Different from Yang Qian’s life doubts.

Shao Zifeng watched as Zhen E was knocked back time and again, murmuring to himself in secret.

“Could this creature have awakened some impressive attribute?”

The thought of Zhen E eventually surrounding the deer with a sycophantic doggy demeanor gave Shao Zifeng an involuntary shiver.

“No, I absolutely disagree with this marriage…”

Cough!

…

Having knocked away that annoying bug once again, the Nine-tailed Demon Fox lost all patience.

“Roar!”

Its eyes blood red, the Nine-tailed Demon Fox spread its nine tails, wildly waving them. Beside each tail, a cluster of bizarre flames appeared, emitting twisting dark auras that locked onto Shao Zifeng.

The massive consumption of physical strength left it somewhat exhausted, but if it could just erase that annoying power, it would then be able to unrestrainedly destroy everything in front of it, right?

“No… don’t!”

Luo Feng’s voice echoed in the Nine-tailed’s heart.

The expression on the Nine-tailed Demon Fox’s face froze. Its pupils trembled violently, one eye slowly returning to its normal dull yellow, and the nine clusters of bizarre flames also dissipated.

Shao Zifeng sensed the change in the Nine-tailed Demon Fox’s emotions; the overwhelming negative emotions had mostly dispersed, and he hurriedly looked towards Luo Feng.

There Luo Feng was, kneeling on both knees, half his face covered, a red scar appearing, identical to the one on the Nine-tailed Demon Fox’s tail.

The red scar slowly spread, attempting to take over more space.

Luo Feng opened his mouth and let out a loud cry of pain, his body shaking, enduring great agony.

Shao Zifeng couldn’t bear it and turned to look at Yang Qian, whose brows were tightly knit.

“That’s his own business, you need to trust him. Luo Feng, he…” Yang Qian shook his head slightly, indicating that he should not act rashly.

Time ticked by, second by second, and the small Illusory Ancient Tree began to dissipate gradually.

“Moo!”

The Stone-armored Giant Rhinoceros stood up, let out a deafening roar, feeling this light and relieved for the first time since its injury years ago.

Yang Qian saw the Stone-armored Giant Rhinoceros rejuvenated, hands trembling as he patted the thick stone armor, seriously examining each crack. After confirming that the cracks were shrinking, his excitement was even more palpable.

“My old friend!” Yang Qian’s voice trembled, his eyes moist in his fifties.

The Stone-armored Giant Rhinoceros, too, had red eyes, looking affectionately at Yang Qian.

After so many years seeking countless Healing-type Combat Training Masters—though they could keep the cracks from expanding for a short time, it was the first time seeing them shrink—he couldn’t contain his excitement.

And to think that it was a low-rank pet that treated the Giant Rhinoceros; if it grew up…

Thinking this, Yang Qian’s eyes heatedly turned to the deer and Shao Zifeng.

Then he saw the deer’s legs go soft, sprawling on the ground with limbs spread out.

Shao Zifeng quickly picked up the deer and handed it an energy potion, softly saying, “Little deer, you’ve worked hard, drink up.”

The deer slightly opened its mouth, stuck out its tender little tongue and licked it twice, then suddenly became alert, lifting its head and staring with drowsy eyes at Shao Zifeng’s hair.

Shao Zifeng was helpless; of course, he knew what the deer meant and indulgently tapped its pink nose: “I’m not deceiving you, drink your medicine first.”

On hearing that, the deer’s big eyes turned into crescent moons, its head turned, and it passed out.

“Your spotted deer isn’t in trouble, is it?” concerned, Yang Qian said as he came over upon seeing the deer faint.

Shao Zifeng had been paying attention to the deer’s condition. Apart from the word “Weakness” appearing in the status bar, there was nothing unusual.

He was relieved and shook his head towards Yang Qian.

Yang Qian also breathed a sigh of relief; if anything happened to the deer, not to mention the Giant Rhinoceros’s follow-up treatment, he himself would feel very guilty.

He patted Shao Zifeng’s shoulder, a smile on his face, saying everything without words.

Shao Zifeng was confused, what do you mean by this.
