64 The Calamity Came Early?
The time spend on learning new skills flew by. In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon.
The Three-clawed Golden Dragon circled around Shen Fei’s body tiredly before finally landing on Shen Fei’s shoulder.
“Your Three-clawed Golden Dragon’s talent is very good. You learn very quickly. The Elemental Tyrannosaurus is quite fond of it, too.”
The Elemental Tyrannosaurus looked at the Three-clawed Golden Dragon on Shen Fei’s shoulder with satisfaction. It extended its head and gave it a friendly nudge.
“At the end of the day, it is thanks to your efforts that I learned so much, Senior Qian Yu.” Shen Fei smiled lightly.
In less than a day, the Three-clawed Golden Dragon had already mastered the Dragon’s Star-splitting Fury. This way, he would have a skill that could really be used for damage output!
“Since you’ve learned that skill, then you should start learning Ray of Destruction as soon as possible. This skill is relatively simple. With the Three-clawed Golden Dragon’s learning curve, it should be able to pick it up in one to two hours.”
“Alright,” said Shen Fei as he nodded his head. Exactly an hour later, Aloy’s uncle’s birthday party would start. After learning this skill, Shen Fei would make it in time if he changed into the evening suit and rushed to Aloy’s side.
“The key to Ray of Destruction is very simple. You just need to concentrate and catalyze the elemental power accumulated in your body and spray it at the target—”
Before Qian Yu could finish, the phone in his pocket rang.
“…Wait a moment. I need to take this call.”
Qian Yu answered the phone and pressed it to his ear. After listening for a while, his brows furrowed together tightly, and a look of worry appeared on his face.
“…Is that so? Then, the situation is still a little dangerous.”
The Elemental Tyrannosaurus next to Qian Yu crouched down and moved closer to him. It seemed like something bad had happened.
“I’m sorry, Shen Fei. Things have come up. I’m afraid i won’t be able to teach you any more skills today. Let’s talk about it next time.”
‘As expected of the great Senior Qian Yu.’ Shen Fei nodded his head in understanding.
School legends at Qian Yu’s level were usually like this; they were quite busy. Fortunately, the Three-clawed Golden Dragon had already learned a more critical skill. Moreover, he had also obtained a skill book.
It should be enough for now.
“It’s fine. But I have a question. When will the next time be?”
“The next visit… should probably be a month or two later.” Qian Yu put his phone away and skillfully grabbed the reins to ride on his T-Rex’s back.
“One or two months later?” Shen Fei frowned.
‘What is it that would take so long?’
“Yes, I heard that a new wormhole has appeared near the sea. It looks different from the usual wormholes. Moreover, the spirit beasts that come out of it are very dangerous. There’s no way to tame them, so they can only be destroyed.”
At this point, Qian Yu’s face revealed a little embarrassment.
“One or two months is an optimistic estimation. To be more conservative, it might take half a year.”
‘Is it that serious?!’ Shen Fei frowned again.
Usually, the spirit beasts that came out of the wormholes would be dealt with very quickly. It seemed that this was no ordinary mission.
“Senior, please take care.”
Shen Fei and the Three-clawed Golden Dragon took the initiative to lead the way to the exit.
“Shen Fei, don’t be so formal. We’re all from the same generation, just call him by my name. See you two months later!”
Qian Yu smiled at Shen Fei. He shook the reins in his hand, and the T-Rex beneath him let out a long roar. The hidden mechanism in the Qian family’s gate opened automatically, and in the next second, the long corridor of the entire garden shrank on both sides, leaving a huge exit walkway for the T-Rex.
“Elemental Tyrannosaurus, let’s go!” As soon as Qian Yu gave the order, the huge spirit beast immediately sprinted in the direction of the sea. Its ten-thousand-ton weight sent tremors throughout the city. Qian Yu’s back silhouette also gradually disappeared into the distance.
Shen Fei let out a long sigh and kept the Three-clawed Golden Dragon back into its pocket realm.
It was fortunate that he had come early enough, otherwise, if he missed the chance, he would have had to wait six months.
However, he also hoped that Qian Yu would be able to solve the problem at the coast as soon as possible. After all, learning one more skill was equivalent to having one more strength. Naturally, the more Shen Fei knew, the better!
It was almost six o ‘clock. He had to hurry to the mayor’s mansion to attend the banquet. Shen Fei walked quickly toward the mayor’s mansion.
…
Dressed in a bright red outfit, Aloy stood at the entrance of the mayor’s mansion with her phone in hand. Looking at the latest news, she frowned and felt uneasy.
‘Has the calamity arrived sooner than expected?’ Cold sweat broke out on her forehead as she recalled what she had experienced in her previous life. In this life, she was not ready yet. She did not even have an Archduke-rank spirit beast with her.
Even Shen Fei, the seed that had the most hope of defeating the calamity, was still in the growing stage. If the calamity erupted early, everyone would die!
‘No, calm down and think about it.’
In the previous world, it seemed that someone had discovered the same wormhole a long time ago. However, since the exotic beasts that came out were relatively weak, even a Rookie-tier Beastmaster could easily deal with them, so it was not reported. It was not until the entire disaster broke out that someone revisited this old matter.
‘This is good.’ At the thought of this, Aloy heaved a long sigh of relief. It was also an indirect reminder to herself that she had to constantly improve her ability!
“Purr…” The Ice Spirit walked beside Aloy, spreading its four wings over her back and gently rubbing against her knees.
Aloy bent down slightly and stroked the Ice Spirit’s head. It spread out the four wings comfortably over its back, gently flapping them.
Aloy lowered her eyes. This Ice Spirit was not what she had expected. In this life, she did not form a contract with the spirit beasts from her previous life.
In her previous life, she almost always chose to become stronger. As a result, she was almost completely suppressed by the demonic beasts in terms of tactics.
In this life, only by making a new choice could she obtain a better opportunity!
“Young Mistress, are you still not going in?”
The housekeeper of the mayor’s mansion, Mr. Guo, brought a cloak and stood humbly in front of Aloy, carefully draping it onto her shoulders.
“Really, you’ve been standing in this chilly wind for so long, be careful not to catch a cold.”
“Thank you, Grandpa Guo.”
Aloy covered herself with the cloak given by the old butler, and her body gradually warmed up.
Hearing the word ‘grandpa’, the old butler’s heart ached even more. He did not have any children or grandchildren. He had been serving Aloy in the mayor’s mansion for so many years and had long regarded Aloy as his own granddaughter.
“Look at you, your hands are red from the cold. I really can’t bear to see you suffer, Young Mistress.”
Having been her butler for many years, he naturally knew why the young mistress was unwilling to go inside. The mayor’s b*stard younger brother had always had ulterior motives toward the young mistress.
‘He’s nothing but an animal!’
However, he could not say this out loud. There were many servants around, and if any of them snitched, he would be held accountable.
Thinking of this, the old Butler sighed.
It was a pity that he was only a lowly butler, and could only do what he could for the young misstress.
