Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future - Chapter 338

338 At The Forbidden Zone

Seeing this, Li Ruoying muttered to herself, “Since you have the motivation, I’ll take you there.”

“Yes!” Shen Fei grinned.

…

After that, Li Ruoying stood up and brought Shen Fei and Aloy out of the wormhole. They headed toward the ruins to the south.

…

At the edge of the southern sea, past the southern mountains, the ocean waves were turbulent, raising huge waves that could stretch up to a handful of kilometers high. Looking at it from afar, it gave the impression of impending doom.

The sea breeze blew strongly, causing even the rocks to sail slowly across the beaches. This was a terrifying forbidden zone that connected the southern mountains with a forest of demonic beasts.

The area was rife with powerful beasts from Counts to Emperors. There might even be a God-rank or two.

When Shen Fei followed Li Ruoying to this place, he was shocked by the magnificence of this sea region. The waves on the ocean’s surface were gigantic and ominous.

They could see an island in the middle of the ocean. On that island was an ancient altar, and it emitted shocking fluctuations.

This was the ruin that Li Ruoying had mentioned. For the sake of the sealing array that Tao Ming had created, they had to make an excursion to this place.

“There’s an array here!” Shen Fei raised his head and looked into the sky, feeling the profoundness of the array.

In his sea of consciousness, his martial soul flickered and bloomed with a dazzling radiance. This was a devouring power, and it was spreading and covering the seawater, permeating everywhere.

Instantly, everything in the vicinity was reflected in his mind. Shen Fei discovered that this array contained the profoundness of daoist power. One could easily believe that this array was laid down by a sage.

Li Ruoying pointed to the island in the vast sea and said, “We need to go to the core and bring back the lightning rod.”

“Okay!” Shen Fei nodded.

“If we encounter any beasts, we must do our best to deal with them,” Li Ruoying said.

“Alright.” Shen Fei nodded again.

“Then, I wish you all the best,” Li Ruoying said.

“I hope we can all return safely.” Aloy smiled and pulled Shen Fei’s arm.

Shen Fei followed the girls and stepped onto the sea. When he tread the sea surface, a majestic aura hit him in the face, making it difficult for him to breathe.

There seemed to be some kind of restriction here that could affect the movement of a cultivator’s body. Even the water here was exceptionally viscous, making it difficult for anyone to move.

“What a terrifying restriction!” In such an environment, Shen Fei frowned.

“Let’s go.” Li Ruoying moved her legs and walked forward. Shen Fei nodded and followed.

As they advanced, his eyes were glittering as he carefully observed the surroundings.

“Senior Ruoying, is there anything special about this sea region?” Shen Fei asked along the way.

Li Ruoying explained, “This Sea region is protected by an array. If you want to enter the core region, you must pass through the array. Other than here, the other places are dangerous as well.”

“I see.” Shen Fei suddenly understood as he thought in his heart, ‘No wonder she told us to be cautious.’

After advancing for half an hour, Li Ruoying stopped. “The core area is up ahead.”

Clouds and mist lingered above the sea, making it look like a dreamscape. There was a soft sound, like thunder rumbling in the distance, which added an eeriness to the area.

“Roar!”

The moment they stopped, a deep roar suddenly rang out in front of them. They saw a school of sharks swimming around in the area in front of them.

“Those are… sharks?!” Shen Fei’s heart trembled.

“Hehe, even though the sharks are powerful, they’re actually very lazy. They essentially rely on absorbing the lightning elements from thunder for food. The lightning here is more useful to them, so they often wander around here,” said Li Ruoying casually.

“Then, do they have intelligence?” Shen Fei asked.

“No, they don’t, but they aren’t weak. At the very least, they’re at the lower-grade Count rank,” Li Ruoying said. “Still, these guys are bloodthirsty and aggressive. If you anger them, only death awaits you.”

Hearing this, Shen Fei’s face turned grim.

Immediately, Li Ruoying said to them, “If you end up fighting them, run for your lives and don’t worry about me.”

“Senior, there’s no need to worry.” Shen Fei grinned and gave Aloy a look. He then said, “Let’s go!

They rushed on, but as soon as they did, a school of sharks roared and chased after him, baring their fangs. On the back of these sharks were wings made of flesh.

The sharks pursued them and spat icicles in their direction. Each of these icicles were fifteen meters long, razor sharp, suffused with a cold light. The sharks seemed to want to kill the two of them in one move.

“Spread out!” Li Ruoying stretched out her hand, and her true Qi condensed into a blade. With a wave of her hand, her blade cut through the air. When the sharp blade landed on a shark’s dorsal fin, the scales shattered and blood splattered everywhere.

Screams rang out, and the Sharks wailed. At the same time, Li Ruoying’s wrist flicked out, and a few more Qi-condensed blades flew out at the other sharks.

In an instant, she had killed six sharks.

“So powerful!” Seeing this, Shen Fei could not help but gulp. He still clearly remembered that Li Ruoying had never displayed such skill back in the wormhole!

“She is indeed powerful.” Seeing this, Aloy’s eyes flashed, and she was in awe of Li Ruoying.

“Keep moving.” Li Ruoying nodded and continued toward the island with them.

As they approached it, the sharks gradually retreated. They had become quite afraid of Li Ruoying.

When they arrived at the island, Li Ruoying sighed. “How timid. The sharks actually retreated so far away.”

“They don’t dare to approach you, Senior Ruoying.” Shen Fei laughed.

“Hmph, that ought to teach them not to underestimate me.” Li Ruoying pouted. Her tone was still filled with pride. Looking at her face, Shen Fei’s lips curved up involuntarily.

After a short break, Li Ruoying said expectantly, “It should be up ahead.”

The further they went, the denser the Qi in the area felt. It was a ruin, and broken ancient tablets were scattered everywhere in the rocks. The ancient tablets were engraved with runes and totems.

And at the top of one tomb-like structure was a lightning rod.

“Let’s go—”

Shen Fei opened his mouth to speak, but before he could finish, he was pulled back by Li Ruoying.

“Wait!”

A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, striking a huge pit in front of them.

Kraka-boom!

A terrifying force burst out, causing the ruin to shake. The soil in the pit was immediately displaced, and in the middle of the pit was a huge black dragon.

Its entire body was black and covered in scales that had a dark-gold luster. Lightning flowed through its body, turning the pit into a pool of lightning. It also had a destructive aura.
