Chapter 57: Robbery of the Fire Rhinoceros King

  "He's my arch-nemesis." The Fire Rhinoceros King said in a low voice, but his heart was delighted. This time that guy is going to be in big trouble. He must have heard from somewhere that I've been feeling unwell recently, so he came to take advantage of the situation.

  Just as the Fire Rhinoceros King finished speaking, a group of snakes slowly swam over from afar, led by a 4th-level Holy Beast Water Python, and its subordinates were all kinds of snakes.

  Leng Ruo Xue couldn't help but laugh at the sight of the water python, as far as she knew, all python-type sacred beasts were solitary animals, who would have thought that this water python had actually gathered so many minions? It seemed that this was a python among pythons, an anomaly. Moreover, its minions were numerous, with over a thousand, and mostly high-level spirit beasts. Hmm, not bad, enough to eat for a while.

  Among all the people, except for Feng Ao Ran and Qiao Hua who were gripping their weapons tightly with some tension, vigilantly staring at the increasingly approaching snakes, everyone else was thinking that they had food delivered to their doorstep again.

  "Miss, which one shall we eat first?" Feng Da said with some drooling, the deliciousness of snake-type spiritual beasts was renowned.

  "Xue Er, let's eat the one with red stripes on its body first. I heard that the more vibrant and poisonous it is, the better it tastes. And that one looks quite fat too." Ye Chen also suggested.

  "But I want to try the holy beast first." Leng Ruo Xue said with some difficulty, she had never eaten a water python before!

  "Let's eat the sacred beast first!" Ye Chen echoed.

  "Alright, let's eat the holy beast first." The crowd also echoed in agreement.

  Feng Ao Ran and Qiao Hua had black lines all over their foreheads, "Don't be so gluttonous, the snake-type spiritual beasts aren't that easy to deal with."

  "Hmm, there are actually humans, great! It's been a long time since I've eaten a human!" The approaching water snake said with joy.

  "Hmm, I've never had a water snake either. Big silly snake, why don't we see who eats whom first!" Leng Ruoxue said with a light smile.

  "What, you dare to eat me? You humans have big guts, and you will pay the price for this!" The water snake roared angrily, its blue skin subtly flowing with black, indicating that it was enraged.

  "Calm down, calm down, you're not a Fire Python, how can your temper be so big?!" Leng Ruo Xue comforted, the temper of fire-type spiritual beasts was notoriously bad.

  "This old master is angry, and the consequences will be severe!" the water python roared.

  How can even spiritual beasts say such things now? Leng Ruoxue was somewhat speechless.

  "It's up to you now." Leng Ruoxue said, then nodded to Feng Da and the others, indicating that they could take action.

  "Miss, just wait for the roasted snake meat!" Feng Da said with a smile, and was the first to rush into the group of snakes, directly targeting the sacred beast, Shui Mang. Lin Yuan followed closely behind, and then everyone else joined the battle.

  Feng Ao Ran and Qiao Hua, seeing this, naturally did not want to fall behind them. One by one, they started killing the snakes. In just a few short minutes, a third of the snake group had died.

  "Huo Xi Wang, you owe me a great favor!" Leng Ruo Xue said gently while watching them fight the water python, implying that using her would come at a cost.

  "Yes, yes." The Fire Rhinoceros King saw his own purpose being exposed, and his heart was trembling with fear...

  "Then let's talk about it, what do you plan to use to pay for this time's reward?" asked Leng Ruoxue lightly.

  "Xu?r, apart from the Huǒ Xī Guǒ, there's really nothing else that can be taken out." Yè Chén reminded on the side, some spiritual beasts are born with the talent of planting fruits, and Huǒ Xī is one of them. Although Huǒ Xī Guǒ cannot compare to Xu?r's Lingguǒ, it's still a pretty good thing.

  "I... I have crystal honey." The Fire Rhinoceros King stuttered.

  "How could a Fire Rhinoceros like you have Crystal Honey?" asked Leng Ruoxue with some curiosity.

  "The Crystal Bee Queen needs our Fire Rhinoceros's pollen and will exchange it for crystal bee honey." The Fire Rhinoceros King explained.

  Unexpectedly, transactions are also popular among spiritual beasts, Leng Ruo Xue couldn't help but think in her heart.

  "How much do you have?"

  "Many of us rhinos are not interested in honey." said the Rhinoceros King, but he also knew that the honey was a good thing, so he left it there.

  "Give me all your crystal honey, and consider it the reward for this time." Leng Ruoxue said bluntly, a spirit beast that's been robbed should be properly robbed.

  "Yes, yes."

  "I'll go get the honey with it, you stay here and keep watch." Leng Ruoxue said to Ye Chen, and specially left Mei and Bao Bei behind.

  "Be careful on the road!"

  Leng Ruo Xue followed the stumbling Huo Xi Wang to a mountain cave, and after entering the cave, she saw that the entire cave was filled with trees as tall as half a person. The trees were laden with fist-sized bright red fruit, which contained spiritual energy. To ordinary people, this would be considered a good thing, but Leng Ruo Xue didn't seem to have much interest in the fruit.

  "They're all here." Huo Xi Wang pointed at the bottles piled up in the corner of the wall.

  Leng Ruo Xue looked at the bottles that Huo Xi Wang had casually piled up in the corner, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. She hadn't expected there to be so many. She randomly picked up one of the bottles, which seemed to be made of beeswax. Opening it, she saw that it could hold about 10 kilograms of honey. She counted them, and found that there were almost 30 such bottles in the corner. That would mean there was over 300 kilograms...

  Leng Ruoxue unceremoniously stored all the bottles in her ring, anyway Huo Xi didn't like honey, so she naturally couldn't let others have it cheaply.

  By the time she and Huo Qiwang returned, the battle was almost over. Some people were cleaning up the battlefield while others were collecting snake meat.

  "Wow, you're really fast!" Leng Ruo Xue praised, they were getting more and more satisfactory.

  "Xue Er, how is it?" Ye Chen asked, looking like the harvest should be pretty good!

  "Not bad, about 300 catties."

  "So many?" Ye Chen was also somewhat surprised.

  "Miss, what's 300 catties?" Lin Yuan asked with some curiosity while fiddling with the fire beside him.

  "Rock candy honey."

  “……”

  "It's sent, it's sent." Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled foolishly.

  "Miss, here, sacred beast meat." Feng Da handed a piece of clean meat to Leng Ruo Xue.

  "Thank you." Leng Ruoxue took the meat and began roasting it over the fire.

  "What's wrong with you, standing there like a fool? Go and get some work done!" Feng Da said, pushing Lin Yuan slightly.

  "Oh, oh!"

  "Wow, this water snake meat is actually more delicious than the earth snake's!"

  "It's delicious!"

  Everyone was eating the snake meat, couldn't help but praise it. By the time everyone had eaten their fill of barbecue and were satisfied, the sky was about to darken. After a simple cleanup, they began to head back.

  "Miss, aren't we flying back?" Looking at the miss who didn't seem to have any intention of riding the flying spirit beast, Cui Zhu couldn't help but ask curiously.

  "You just ate and now you want to fly? Do you want to turn into a pig?" Cold Snow lightly tapped on Emerald Bamboo's head.

  "You're in for it now!" Green Peach said with a hint of amusement as she looked at Emerald Bamboo.

  "Master, there's a sound over there." Mei reminded, leaning on Leng Ruo Xue's shoulder.

  "What? Go take a look." Leng Ruoxue said, having eaten her fill, it was just right to exercise.

  "Go right."

  Everyone curiously followed Mei's direction and walked over. Before they even got close, they saw a hideous spirit beast as tall as a small mountain.

  "Master, it's a Ground Gecko," Mei said. This Ground Gecko wasn't as high-level as the one it had encountered before, but it was still level 8.

  "Dear master, I hate geckos the most. They're ugly and don't like to be clean, but they're actually very powerful. Ordinary spirit beasts are no match for them." Bao Bei said with a look of disgust on her face.

  Leng Ruo Xue's beautiful eyes observed the situation in front of her, a giant earth lizard had scars all over its body, and its opponent was a handsome cloud-patterned white tiger. This white tiger was one level lower than the earth lizard, only a 7th-level sacred beast, and its injuries were more severe than those of the earth lizard, clearly struggling to hold on. Fresh blood had already stained its beautiful white fur red. Behind them was a mountain cave, from which painful moans kept coming out. Leng Ruo Xue guessed that this tiger could hold on until now, probably to protect its family in the cave.

  "Baby, go help that old tiger, I and Mei will take a look in the cave!" Leng Ruoxue said, she had a good impression of this old tiger who vowed to protect its family and wanted to help it.
