Chapter 616: It Would Be Good If There Was A Painkiller (4)

Xiao Shu turned around and saw that the size of the Wind Fire Elephant had changed.
Its body, which was as large as a hill, actually shrank to the size of a small boar. The four wings on its back actually turned translucent.
It had become smaller, but it gave Xiao Shu stronger fear.
Although he didn’t know what the Wind Fire Elephant was thinking, his intuition told him that they were doomed.
“Run!” Xiao Shu shouted instinctively.
After shouting, he grabbed Feng Yuncheng’s clothes and ran.
Feng Yuncheng followed behind him. In the end, he exhausted the last bit of his spiritual power and summoned the charming b.u.t.terfly.
The charming b.u.t.terfly extended its tentacles and grabbed Feng Yuncheng with one hand and Xiao Shu with the other while trying its best to carry them away.
At that moment, the miniature Wind Fire Elephant suddenly let out a deep roar that shook the sky. “Roar!”
Its sound waves contained boundless demonic power.
Soon, a flame was ignited with Xiao Shu and the others as the center. The surrounding towering ancient trees were all ignited in an instant.
This was a primitive forest. Once this place caught fire, a large area of the forest would suffer. As for the low-level demon beasts living in the forest, they couldn’t escape the speed at which the flames spread. They would all die!
In order to capture the two of them, the Wind Fire Elephant actually wanted to burn its home!
Feng Yuncheng and Xiao Shu looked at the fire that was quickly burning in a circle. Their handsome faces looked gloomy and desperate.
Feng Yuncheng bit his lip and said, “Xiao Shu, we can’t escape.”
The flames were spreading in all directions and shrinking towards them. There was no way for them to escape. The fire was burning quickly, and in less than a minute, they would be burned into two fireb.a.l.l.s.
At this moment, the Wind Fire Elephant roared again. Then, a chaotic wind blew from all directions, gathering the spreading fire towards Feng Yuncheng and the others.
The flames gathered towards them at a visible speed. The waves of fire grew higher and higher, and soon swallowed Feng Yuncheng and Xiao Shu.
At this moment, even if they wanted to seek help from the academy, they wouldn’t be able to wait for help to arrive in time.
Feng Yuncheng closed his eyes and accepted his fate.
But just as the flames were about to swallow them, Feng Yuncheng suddenly heard a strange and dignified beast roar that seemed to come from ancient times—
“Buzz—”
That voice seemed to be far away, but also seemed to be right in front of him.
Feng Yuncheng opened his eyes in surprise. What reflected in his eyes along with the waves of fire was a majestic beast!
It was a terrifying ferocious beast covered in flames and covered in horse hooves. Its long red hair covered its neck from its forehead, making it look unrestrained and dignified.
Feng Yuncheng gasped in shock.
This was…
…a Fire Unicorn!
The unicorn raised its hooves, and a fiery red protective shield appeared on its body. The protective shield directly enveloped Feng Yuncheng. At the same time, Feng Yuncheng immediately sensed that the fire waves in the forest had lost their effect on him.
He couldn’t even feel the heat of the flames.
The next second, Feng Yuncheng fainted.
At this moment, the Fire Unicorn suddenly opened its beast eyes. Its pair of beast eyes, which were as red as blood, stared coldly at the Wind Fire Elephant outside the fire wave. It opened its mouth and said in a dignified and cold tone, “Low-grade demon beast, you dare to be impudent in front of the lord?!”
Upon hearing the word “lord” and seeing the Fire Unicorn’s appearance clearly, the Wind Fire Elephant recalled some legends. It suddenly knelt on the ground.
“My Lord!” The Wind Fire Elephant was so frightened that it lost control on the spot, and the flames in the forest were all extinguished in an instant.
At the same time, the super demon beasts living in the center of the hinterland felt the familiar aura of an expert that only existed in distant memories.
For a moment, all the super demon beasts looked up at the Wind Fire Elephant in surprise and excitement. They muttered in disbelief, “Master?”
By the time they arrived at the territory where the Wind Fire Elephant was, the expert’s aura was already very faint. The Wind Fire Elephant had long been frightened to the point of paralysis. There was a urine stain under its body, while its consciousness was already in a blur.
The super demon beasts were very disappointed that they didn’t see their old friend. However, when they thought about how he was still alive, they became excited again.
The Lord is still alive!
The demon beasts still had hope of reclaiming the Holy Spirit Continent!

A breeze blew on the mountaintop, and a strand of hair entered Feng Yuncheng’s nostrils.
Feng Yuncheng sneezed and woke up. When he saw him and Xiao Shu sitting on a small black mountain while enjoying the cold wind, he sat up in shock and shouted, “Where is the Wind Fire Elephant?!” Feng Yuncheng only remembered the shocking wave of fire he saw before he fainted, but he didn’t remember the scene of the Fire Unicorn appearing.
Xiao Shu looked at him with a complicated expression before saying, “We were very lucky to encounter the Wind Fire Elephant’s nemesis. They fought, so I took advantage of the chaos to run away with you.” With that said, Xiao Shu picked up a plant that looked like a cabbage from the side. However, the plant’s stem and leaves were red. “I also saw a few plants like this at the border of the territory where the Wind Fire Elephant lives. Take a look and see if they are Ghost-Wrapping Flowers.”
Feng Yuncheng was stunned. “Were we that lucky?”
“Yes. Perhaps we were lucky.”
“Impressive.” Feng Yuncheng picked up the ghost flower and compared it to the photo on his phone. He realized that it was really the ghost flower and a relieved smile appeared on his face. “Senior Xiao Shu, we can go to the Holy Spirit Academy.”
Xiao Shu nodded and stood up. He grabbed the red hair with one hand and looked up in the direction of the primitive forest. Then, he said in a low voice, “Let’s go. We should go to the back mountain to plant vegetables.” They had to successfully plant the Ghost-Wrapping Flower before they could complete the interview.
Feng Yuncheng jogged to keep up with Xiao Shu. He muttered, “Hey, Senior Xiao Shu, why do I feel that you’ve become much more level headed after entering the primitive forest?”
Xiao Shu stopped in his tracks.
Those distant memories from ten thousand years ago flashed through his mind.
At that time, he was the master of the Demon Beast Realm.
In the battle of ten thousand years, the demon beasts were chased by the Beast Tamers. Some died, and some were injured. They paid a painful price. In order to find a place for the demon beasts to stay, he knelt in front of many big shots in the cultivation world and personally dug out the Monster Core in his body. He offered the Monster Core to the number one person in the cultivation world, Prime Master Goldfeather.
He, who had lost his Monster Core, died on the spot.
The demon beasts weren’t like humans. They didn’t have the chance to reincarnate. But for some reason, as a demon beast, he had the chance to reincarnate as a human.
He returned to the Holy Spirit Continent as Xiao Shu, but he had lost his memories of his previous life. It was only today, under the threat of death, that his memories awakened.
Xiao Shu was still Xiao Shu, but in a sense, he wasn’t really Xiao Shu.
Xiao Shu turned around and stared at Feng Yuncheng’s dirty face. He said, “I feel pain.” He couldn’t forget the pain of digging out the Monster Core.
Hearing this, Feng Yuncheng thought that Xiao Shu had been injured in the primitive forest. He hurriedly took out a painkiller pill from his interspatial ring and handed it to Xiao Shu. “This is for you. The painkiller developed by the Blazing Realm Continent’s Blazing Pharmacy is malt candy-flavored.”
Xiao Shu stared at the painkiller and was silent for a few seconds before reaching out to take the candy.
If only there was such a candy ten thousand years ago.
Then he wouldn’t have had to suffer so much.
