Chapter 754 - 304: Taking a Disciple, Feiyi! (Part 2)

At this moment, the proud formation attack methods were completely useless in front of Shen Can.

No matter how complex and fancy the attack methods were, they were useless if they couldn’t hit the target.

As for the defensive measures, Shen Can simply dived into the formation.

The snow mink rose into the air, and a stream of light flew from its body, striking the Giant Ice Mountain that manifested from the grand array.

In an instant, the Giant Ice Mountain plummeted from the sky, pressing down towards Shen Can’s head as if a Divine Mountain were bearing down.

As the mountain fell, endless cold winds swirled around it, with bright witch runes glowing upon it as if divine runes were inscribed on the mountain.

"Suppress!"

The snow mink gazed at the falling Giant Ice Mountain with hope in its eyes; after all, this was the array’s last resort.

Then, the hope in its eyes was shattered.

Shen Can stood in the middle of the array, lifted one finger upwards, and gently held up the falling mountain.

For a moment, blizzards raged around, yet the snow mink heard nothing; all it saw was Shen Can holding its array with just one finger.

With a slight lift, Shen Can returned the falling mountain to its place, and around him, one by one, witch runes lit up, revealing the underlying structure of the array’s operation.

Compared to the Wild Beast aura on Red Fire Luwu, the snow mink exhibited more of a nimble spirit, lacking the savage and violent vibe.

At a glance, Shen Can saw that the eyes of the snow mink were filled with a clarity resembling someone from his past life who was naive and gentle.

It was completely inexperienced with the world.

Unlike Red Fire Luwu, who had been beaten many times and had become a crafty old beast.

Perhaps because it rarely interacted with the outside world, the snow mink was able to set up such a Tier Five Array.

To be honest, this array was not weak; Red Fire Luwu breaking in would likely be sliced into pre-made pieces and swiftly frozen for fresh-keeping.

Then Shen Can spoke, "I possess the Mahayana Array Technique, would you be willing to learn?"

The snow mink’s dim eyes brightened again, "Are you really willing to teach me?"

"According to the Human Race’s tradition, should I pay respects to a master?"

Before Shen Can could respond, the snow mink had already prostrated itself, "Greetings, master."

The snow mink was truly convinced in heart and mind. The Tier Five Array it had painstakingly built over so many years was useless in front of Shen Can.

If Shen Can had smashed the array with sheer power, it would only prove a stronger strength.

But using such a method to make the array malfunction, how profound must Shen Can’s mastery of arrays be?

In the snow mink’s mind, it was simple: without becoming an apprentice, why would he teach it his techniques?

Seeing the snow mink prostrate on the ground, Shen Can hadn’t expected it to go so smoothly.

He had instantly accepted a disciple of the Beast King.

The snow mink had bowed so quickly, now that it had solemnly paid respects, how could he possibly tell it to rise?

...

Outside the array, seeing the snow mink suddenly take Shen Can as a master, Red Fire Luwu shook its big head, its eyes burning with golden light.

Hehe, it’s considered Shen Can’s equal.

No matter if it couldn’t defeat the snow mink, according to Human Race’s tradition...

As a Beast King of the snow mink’s senior uncle level, it had to offer a present for their first meeting.

The last time it got beaten up, just considered it a junior’s playfulness, and as an elder, it holds no grudge.

Without having to fight, it had already won.

So, Red Fire Luwu rummaged through its collection, finding that it was all fire-attribute stuff, feeling a bit awkward to present.

...

After the snow mink stood up, it led Shen Can into its cave dwelling.

Only to discover that the snow mink’s lair was truly barren, even more so than Red Fire Luwu’s; it was just a frozen crystalline land.

"Master, I’ve always enjoyed peace and quiet, spending my time comprehending arrays."

Saying this, the snow mink also took out the array scroll that had guided it into the path of formation.

Upon seeing it, Shen Can instantly felt he had found an array genius.

He knew his own talents were in hard work; this snow mink was truly gifted.

’Xiaomang Mountain Array’ was the name of the array scroll obtained by the snow mink, which introduced the fundamentals and over twenty types of arrays, with only one Tier Four, and that was an incomplete theoretical description.

After self-learning Tier Three Witch Arrays, it gradually comprehended Tier Five Witch Arrays by itself.

Shen Can prepared to properly teach his newly accepted disciple.

Although a Beast King, it seemed to have little interaction with the outside world, making it perfect to instill respect for teachers and closeness to the Human Race.

...

Giant Mountain Cave.

Thirty thousand miles from the cave’s surrounding forest, in a secluded valley.

Here, with towering mountains on both sides, even at midday, sunlight does not shine in.

In the depths of the valley, dense black water bubbled, with countless mosquitoes dancing above.

Among the dense grass on both banks, insect nests were piled more than ten feet high.

Rotund bugs crawling back and forth, emitting a faint plague aura.

The sound of flapping wings arose as a Qi Zhong, shaped like a cat’s head with a single pig’s tail, swooped down, quickly pecking away numerous plague insects, then flying to the cliff wall.

In the dimness of the cliff, pale glows flickered from the numerous Qi Zhong roosting there, lights from their eyes.

The sound of rustling arose as more Qi Zhong flew into the secluded valley, hastily devouring the plague insects.

As night fell, the black water in the valley bubbled violently, as the Eight-legged Feiyi emerged from the water, causing the strange birds on the surrounding cliff to lower their heads and coo.

Hearing the cooing, the Feiyi, emitting a faint aura from its triangular eyes, spread its wings and flew out of the valley.

In numerous roosting places throughout the Giant Mountain Range, Feiyi had dozens; around the cave alone, there were over ten.

The Giant Mountain Range was poor in source power, and as a famous Disaster Beast in the Great Wilderness, life was tough.

Leaving the Giant Mountain was dangerous, unlike other Tier Five Beast Kings who could suppress their auras.

As the Plague Beast King, whenever it ventured out, diseases spread wherever it passed; ordinary creatures would die upon contact.

Any living being investigating could tell the cause of death of those creatures.

Near the Giant Mountain Range, it naturally feared nothing.

But venturing far from the Giant Mountain Range was different; once its trail was exposed, it could easily be hunted by other races.

Its body may not be edible, but it can be used to craft special Witch Artifacts, highly sought outside the Giant Mountain Range.

It wasn’t that it looked down on that foolish Luwu; put together at an Exchange Conference, it could fetch twice the price of a Luwu.

Currently, as the Eight-legged Feiyi flew through the night out of the valley, it circled the cave’s surrounding forest.

Life was challenging, being on watch at the cave, looking for opportunities.

A hundred years ago, it almost captured that Red Fire Luwu, but narrowly failed.

If it had consumed Luwu then, a few centuries of seclusion would have sufficed to advance to the Tier Five Middle Stage.

Looking at the direction of the cave from afar, but apart from the gleaming spirit monsters, there’s no other sign of movement.

Waiting for luck was not easy, requiring chance encounters.

Some chances it dared not seize, fearing retaliation.

After an unproductive circle, the Eight-legged Feiyi headed to its next shelter, its subordinates, the Qi Zhong, and other plague creatures, dispersed across the lands serving as its eyes and ears.

...

Currently, a million miles west of the cave, a flying ship sailed through the mountains.

"This time, I will avenge my beating!"

On the flying ship, Red Fire Luwu was entrenched at the bow, letting out a deep tiger roar.

An indistinct tortoise shell on Red Fire Luwu’s back covered most of its body.

This was something Shen Can specially equipped Luwu with. This time, to lure the Feiyi out, Red Fire Luwu had to serve as bait, drawing Feiyi into the array.

Feiyi must die; this being brought too much calamity.

Especially now, the Human Race Alliance had launched a campaign at the Giant Mountain, which plague beasts reveled in.

If they could have mountains of corpses and seas of blood, they’d be ecstatic.

Back then, Cloud River Valley was how Feiyi exploited the situation.

"Don’t overdo the fight, just pretend to be gravely wounded by the spirit monsters and flee from the cave, remember to bleed a little."

Seeing Red Fire Luwu brimming with war intent, Shen Can advised, "Once it’s trapped in the array, you can use your Luwu True Flame to refine it."

Hearing Shen Can’s description, Red Fire Luwu’s eyes lit up with excitement, "Awoo, I’ll cook it in beast oil and mix it with rice!"
