Killing a Second-tier Magical Beast

Within a forest of towering trees in the Monster Mountain Range.

Lin Feng was currently sprinting forward like mad, his gaze darting back from time to time.

His eyes were filled with helplessness.

He had truly been unlucky today. He had never expected to run into the Magical Beast guarding the Medicinal Herb even after getting his hands on it.

Behind him, a white ape-like Magical Beast over three meters tall was relentlessly pursuing him.

One man and one ape raced wildly through the forest.

"Why am I so unlucky today? How did I even run into you?!"

With a strange cry, Lin Feng saw the Blizzard Ape drawing ever closer behind him and hurriedly accelerated again.

Not long ago, Lin Feng had discovered a Spirit Returning Red Fruit Tree in a part of the forest.

As luck would have it, the Magical Beast guarding that tree had happened to be away.

The Spirit Returning Red Fruit was the main ingredient for the Second-grade Qi Recovery Pill, and he had previously obtained two second-grade pill recipes from Liu Xi's Storage Ring.

One of them happened to be the recipe for the Qi Recovery Pill. Faced with the Spirit Returning Red Fruits before him, how could Lin Feng resist such temptation?

He rushed over like the wind and picked them clean.

Yet after he finished picking them, the Second-tier Blizzard Ape guarding the Spirit Returning Red Fruits returned, injured, and caught him red-handed beside the tree.

Both man and beast froze for a moment. The instant Lin Feng saw that it was a Second-tier Magical Beast, he turned and fled without the slightest hesitation.

Seeing the treasure it used to advance had been completely plundered, how could the Magical Beast possibly let Lin Feng off easily?

And so, this scene came to be.

After running for over ten minutes, Lin Feng glanced at the Blizzard Ape's abdomen.

There was a massive wound there, apparently caused by the bite of some unknown Magical Beast.

He considered that the gaseous Dou Qi within his body had already begun to liquefy, leaving him only one step away from becoming a Dou Master.

Moreover, he had spent two months training in the Monster Mountain Range, and his combat experience had improved greatly compared to before.

After weighing things up, he felt that he should be able to fight this severely injured Second-tier Blizzard Ape.

Gritting his teeth, he immediately abandoned his plan to escape using a Flying Dou Skill.

He raised his palm level with his chest, and a layer of Crimson Dou Qi swiftly covered it as he abruptly stopped running.

Then he spun around in a sharp one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn and charged at the Magical Beast behind him at top speed.

"Crimson Fire Palm!"

As his explosive shout fell, Lin Feng struck precisely at the wound on the Blizzard Ape's abdomen, his palm sinking straight into it.

"Roar!"

The wound was struck by scorching Dou Qi, drawing waves of pained roars from the beast.

Then its fists swung at incredible speed, smashing fiercely toward Lin Feng.

Lin Feng instantly felt a powerful blast of air rush at him, followed by a sharp pain in his abdomen.

Before he could fully react, he was sent flying into the grass five or six meters away.

"Pfft!"

A mouthful of blood escaped uncontrollably. Seeing that the Blizzard Ape had only taken one step back, a trace of disappointment flashed through Lin Feng's eyes.

Sure enough, even severely injured, a Magical Beast comparable to a Five Star Dou Master was not so easy to deal with.

However, Lin Feng glanced at his blood-covered palm. His attack had not been ineffective.

At the very least, the Blizzard Ape's internal organs must have suffered considerable damage from that Dou Skill.

Although Magical Beasts possessed formidable physiques, it surely could not be feeling too well.

Furthermore, the wound in its abdomen had begun bleeding heavily.

Watching blood continuously pour from the wound, Lin Feng thought of something, and a faint smile curled his lips.

He took out a Healing Pill and swallowed it. Then, enduring the pain, he turned and fled once more.

He also took out a Spirit Returning Red Fruit and tossed it in the air, luring the Blizzard Ape into pursuing him.

"Roar!"

Seeing Lin Feng flaunting the thing he had stolen from it right before its eyes, the Blizzard Ape immediately let out an enraged howl.

It beat its fists against its chest with a series of bang bang sounds before swiftly chasing after him.

Seeing the Blizzard Ape pursue him, Lin Feng's lips curved slightly upward. As he fled, he occasionally fired a Dou Skill at it.

This continuously enraged it, causing it to ignore its wounds and keep chasing him.

The pursuit continued for another ten minutes or so. Lin Feng noticed that the Blizzard Ape behind him was growing slower and slower, its movements becoming increasingly feeble.

In its current weakened state, even a One Star Dou Master using a Mysterious Tier Low-grade Dou Skill could probably kill it in one blow.

Lin Feng knew that the time had come. With a sweep of his hand over his Storage Ring, he took out a long spear.

Then, the Dou Qi throughout his body swiftly circulated through certain Meridians.

Before long, his body suddenly turned, and a massive Energy Giant Lion condensed into being.

The long spear in his hand then stabbed toward the exhausted Blizzard Ape.

"Roaring Lion Chant!"

Following Lin Feng's movement, the Energy Giant Lion slammed viciously into the wound on the Blizzard Ape's abdomen.

The vegetation along its path was left utterly wrecked by the Dou Skill.

"Boom!"

Weakened and powerless from massive blood loss, the Blizzard Ape could not dodge at all. It could only watch helplessly as it collided with the Dou Skill.

Ferocious Dou Qi immediately surged through the wound and into its body, where it exploded with a bang.

As Lin Feng retreated, he heard a muffled explosion from inside the ape's body.

"Roar!"

Then, amid its wails, large amounts of shattered organs flowed from its wound.

After suffering such damage, even a Magical Beast's powerful physique could no longer hold on.

"Thud."

With a dull sound, the ape's enormous body fell straight to the ground in an instant.

Seeing this, Lin Feng was unsure whether it was truly dead, so he hurriedly struck its head with another Crimson Fire Palm to finish it off.

With its life force gone, the ape's head was no longer protected by energy. The Dou Skill instantly blasted it into pieces.

"Pfft!"

He spat out another mouthful of blood. Under the blazing midday sun, Lin Feng was actually trembling slightly from the cold.

Looking at his abdomen, which had begun to freeze, he said bitterly, "As expected of an ice-element Second-tier Magical Beast. Although I've temporarily suppressed my injuries with pills, if I don't quickly find a place to completely remove the cold Qi from my body, I might really end up dying here alongside the Blizzard Ape."

He rapidly circulated the Dou Qi within his body to temporarily stop the cold Qi from spreading, then pulled out a dagger and rummaged around inside the Blizzard Ape's head.

Before long, he pulled out a white bead the size of a pigeon egg.

His lips immediately split into a grin. "Hehe, I didn't take this risk for nothing. I've gotten my first Second-tier Magic Core!"

"Captain, there's movement over there."

"You heard it. Do you think I didn't? Hurry up and search. See if it's that kid—the commander has put up a reward of one hundred thousand Gold Coins."

"Yes!"

Hearing a burst of commotion coming from the nearby forest, Lin Feng sensed his terrible internal condition, as well as the less than twenty percent of Dou Qi he had left, which was still rapidly being depleted.

His brows furrowed slightly. He immediately stored away the Magic Core and the Magical Beast's corpse, then sprinted swiftly in one direction.
