Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 86 - 85: A Line of White Egrets Enters the Jar

Chapter 86: Chapter 85: A Line of White Egrets Enters the Jar

Qin Feng stepped forward a few paces and examined the two Beaver Demon Beasts before finally rummaging through his belongings, eventually pulling out a pair of Iron Hooks that he had almost forgotten about.

Because he rarely had the opportunity to fight with others, and since he had not used these Iron Hooks since his initiation, they had always remained in his Storage Bag. If it hadn’t been for the lack of a handy Magic Artifact at that moment, he might have completely forgotten that he owned such a pair.

With these hooks, Qin Feng pried off the teeth of the two Beaver Demon Beasts, especially the two pairs of incisors, strong and sharp, which were definitely good materials for crafting Magic Artifacts.

He planned to collect these materials and sell them at the Market once he returned.

At the same time, he also planned to dispose of the Iron Hooks and buy a more suitable Magic Artifact when the time came.

These hooks were not handy at all; even for processing the materials from the bodies of Demon Beasts, they made him feel incredibly awkward.

...

After he had pried off the sharp large teeth, he waved his hand and put the two Beaver Demon Beasts into the Demon Refining Pot.

For now, he would hold on to them and use them for Cultivation later, aiming for a breakthrough to the Qi Refinement Late Stage all at once.

With a wave of his hand, the majestic Qin Feng, accompanied by the two Demon Beasts, exited the small grove and continued deeper into the swamp.

However, although there were no Demon Beasts above the Foundation Establishment Realm strong enough to overpower them, the swamp was not without other dangers.

As they passed a clump of grass, suddenly, the Green Fox, which was scouting ahead, let out a shrill scream, leaping about ten feet high and frantically slapping its body with its paws.

Startled, Qin Feng stopped immediately and looked toward the Green Fox.

He saw thousands of black Poison Insects crawling all over its body.

Originally, a horde of Poison Insects had been inhabiting the grass where the Green Fox walked.

These insects fed by sucking the blood of living beings. When the Green Fox attempted to pass through the grass, the scent of a living being triggered the insects, and they buzzed into the air, swarming onto the Green Fox that had first entered the grass.

Instantly, the Green Fox’s head and body were covered with large and small Poison Insects, causing it to jump frantically. Despite repeatedly slapping itself with its paws, the insects’ hard carapaces made them difficult to kill in one swipe. Even if some were knocked off, they would quickly fly back up and sink their sharp mouthparts into its skin to suck its blood.

Demon Energy furiously surged out of the Green Fox, but its strongest skill was the Illusion Technique, and its other Spells were not powerful enough to get rid of these hard-shelled Poison Insects.

Luckily, it was not traveling alone; otherwise, the swarm of insects might have drained it completely dry.

Following several steps behind the Green Fox, Qin Feng was shocked as well. While he felt relieved that the Green Fox was scouting ahead, he quickly ordered the Swallowing Sky Toad to help clean up the Poison Insects.

With a sweep of its long tongue, the Swallowing Sky Toad devoured all the thousands of Poison Insects in just a few moments, and regardless of their frantic crawling on the Green Fox, they couldn’t escape the fate of being caught by the Swallowing Sky Toad’s tongue.

No matter how hard their carapaces were, once inside the Swallowing Sky Toad’s stomach, they would be completely digested.

However, the Green Fox was rather miserable during those brief moments as a substantial amount of blood had been sucked from its body, and it was severely poisoned. Although it wasn’t lethal, the poisoning weakened it, leaving it without its previous vigor.

With the danger eliminated, they resumed their journey.

However, not long after, Qin Feng noticed something was amiss.

Because several Poison Insects had bitten the Green Fox’s nose, swelling it up like a black garlic bulb, it lost its original keen sense of smell, making it unable to detect the scent of other Demon Beasts.

As for the Swallowing Sky Toad, it was not known for a keen sense of smell.

Qin Feng didn’t want to wander randomly relying on luck to find Demon Beasts. Since the Green Fox could no longer detect the scent of other Demon Beasts and was also poisoned, he simply put it back into the Demon Refining Pot for a good rest. He then released one of the three Red-Scaled Snake Demons he had tamed earlier, letting this Qi Refining Middle Stage Snake Demon scout the way.

Although not as powerful as the Green Fox, this Snake Demon was perfectly capable of scouting.

Red Snake flicked its forked tongue, moving ahead to track other Demon Beasts as instructed by its master.

It had to be said that the sense of smell of snakes really had its unique traits; in just a short time, it had found a Qi Refining Middle Stage Swamp Mongoose Demon and a nest of Water Field Rat Demons, which made Qin Feng quite satisfied.

The only regret for him was that this Red Snake had its neck bitten off by the strongest Rat Demon during the hunt.

After the battle, Qin Feng regretfully tossed the dead body of the Red Snake back into the Demon Refining Pot and casually pulled out a Mountain Wind of about ten feet long to continue scouting ahead.

These Snake Demons were not strong and had average talents; keeping them in the Demon Refining Pot also drained his resources, as he had to buy Blood Food to feed them every so often.

Qin Feng felt it would be better to focus on quality in the future, as there was no need to waste limited resources on these ordinary Snake Demons with little use.

In the future, if he were to subjugate Spiritual Beasts, they had to at least be those with special talents, like the Green Fox. Although its combat power was nowhere near that of the Swallowing Sky Toad, its mastery of Illusion Techniques could still be useful at critical moments.

This newly released Mountain Wind was quite fast, moving swiftly like the wind, and soon found a nest of White Egret Demon Birds.

This delighted Qin Feng greatly.

Previously, during his cultivation, he had felt pity for the White Egret swallowed by the Swallowing Sky Toad. Such a beautiful bird should have been taken to the Market to exchange for Spirit Stones. It was somewhat wasteful to swallow it whole. Unexpectedly, he had so quickly found their nest.

However, before he could devise a strategy for battle, the Snake Demon had recklessly burst out of the bushes, exposing itself to the Demon Birds on guard and inadvertently revealing Qin Feng too.

“Screeee…”

Sharp cries rang out, and the Demon Birds guarding the nest instantly surrounded the Mountain Wind, pecking it to death in a matter of seconds.

This was a nesting site for the White Egret Clan to hatch their offspring, with seven or eight young White Egrets who hadn’t even grown full feathers yet. A Snake Demon suddenly attempting to raid their nest meant no mercy from them.

“Useless thing.”

Qin Feng cursed under his breath in annoyance. But seeing the Demon Birds about to swoop at him caused a tremor in his heart.

The Mist Swamp had no Demon Beasts above the Foundation Establishment, but it was home to tribes of Demon Beasts. There were groups of Giant Crocodiles, Rat Demons that burrowed underground, and of course, Demon Birds that liked to nest together.

Typically, new disciples in their trials would steer clear of these grouped Demon Beasts to avoid getting surrounded. Otherwise, they might not even escape.

Qin Feng was inclined to retreat, but those White Egret Demons had already flapped their wings and were attacking.

Even if he wanted to run, he certainly couldn’t outpace the flying White Egret Demons. With no other choice, he could only inwardly curse that foolish Snake Demon while releasing all his fighting beasts.

Even the Green Fox, which he had just taken back into the Demon Refining Pot, was let out.

Bang!

As soon as they were released, two Fox Demons used their Illusion Techniques together, confusing the minds of the White Egret Demons, while the Spiritual Vulture, usually used by Qin Feng as a Riding Tool, fiercely attacked, tearing and biting, quickly overturning a White Egret Demon on the ground.

The Swallowing Sky Toad was even more formidable, its long tongue flickering repeatedly, piercing through three White Egret Demon bodies in succession, and the last White Egret Demon was subdued by the two Green Foxes together, swiftly securing victory.

It was mainly because these White Egret Demons weren’t strong and had been confused by the Illusion Techniques of the Green Foxes. They couldn’t break free in time, which allowed the Swallowing Sky Toad to launch a swift surprise attack.

Qin Feng joyfully prohibited the two severely injured yet not dead White Egret Demons, planning to take them back to sell.

Then, he turned his attention to the chirping young White Egrets, secretly making calculations.

Moments later, everything returned to normal.

After half an hour, a group of White Egrets flew from the distance, returning from their hunt.
