The Cold King and His Spoilt Wife: His Genius Consort Is Breathtaking

Chapter 85: The Strange Skeleton

This time, the flame was extinguished before it could exit its mouth.

Xia Muqing continued her actions in silence.

The little phoenix tried again, but the result was the same.

A strange scene appeared in the cave. Xia Muqing was trying her best to fight the skeleton. And the skeleton would split into several parts and all would still be moving.

The phoenix tried its best to catch its breath to try again, but it failed to conjure a flame.

Jiang Yifan comforted the disappointed phoenix.

The little phoenix refused to admit defeat and tried again. This time, it really succeeded. However, the position of the flames was wrong, and they hit the dried grass at the side.

Xia Muqing didn’t harbor any hope. She speechlessly led the skeleton parts towards the flames.

The skeleton had already been smashed up until its limbs were severed. Xia Muqing threw them into the fire one by one. Finally, it was quiet.

However, the cave was burning. The two of them and the phoenix quickly ran out of the cave. The entire cave was charred black and the raging fire was still spreading.

Xia Muqing looked at the trees around her and frowned.

The phoenix sucked with its mouth, and the flames were sucked back into its body.

Xia Muqing said, “You really know how to recycle.”

The phoenix didn’t understand what it meant and cocked its head adorably.

Seeing that they couldn’t stay in this dark cave anymore, the few of them could only find another cave to rest.

Xia Muqing took out the Beast Taming Technique and the more she read, the angrier she became.

After reading it, she closed it with a slam, her face filled with anger.

Jiang Yifan asked, “Sister, what’s wrong?”

Xia Muqing casually threw the book to him and said, “This thing is used to satisfy one’s own selfish desires. It cruelly cuts off the emotions of beasts and turns them into puppets that can only obey humans. It’s really cruel.”

The Xiao family had yet to turn the ferocious beast into this state, probably because they didn’t have the second half.

After Jiang Yifan finished reading the book, he frowned. When he flipped to the last page, something fell to the ground.

The two of them looked over. It was red and it looked like a card.

Xia Muqing picked it up. There were some holes on it, like… a flute.

She quickly took back the Beast Taming Technique and flipped to the page she had just seen. There was an introduction written on it.

The red and white flute were a pair of weapons that could tame beasts.

The white flute’s sound could make a wild beast listen to its master. When the flute was played, the wild beast would convulse and be in so much pain that it would wish for death.

The red flute’s sound could increase a wild beast’s attack power.

Note: The two flutes can’t be used at the same time, or the wild beast will lose control and escape.

Reading this, Xia Muqing found a way to deal with the Xiao family.

After carefully putting away the red flute, thee both of them and the phoenix rested.

The next day, Xia Muqing suggested that they traveled faster so that they could leave the mystic realm earlier.

They naturally had no objections.

The two of them led the little phoenix straight into the depths of the Sunset Mountains. On the way to the Phoenix Clan, they would pass by the black eagle’s residence. Xia Muqing decided to visit the black eagle first.

It took them three days to reach the depths.

The moment she entered, she felt that this place was different from the middle section just now.

The ferocious beasts that could be seen everywhere all looked malicious. However, they were different from the animals in the middle range. They preferred to live alone.

Xia Muqing and the others had just entered a forest when they saw a cheetah slowly walking towards them.

It approached them gracefully, but its eyes were fixated on them.

Jiang Yifan absolutely believed that if they dared to bolt, this cheetah would chase them as fast as it could.

Xia Muqing took two steps forward. As soon as she moved, the cheetah pounced on her.

It was swift and fierce and almost instantly pressed Xia Muqing under its body.

Jiang Yifan was about to help when he heard Xia Muqing’s voice. “All right, stop fooling around. Don’t lick me. It’s very ticklish.”

He stopped again, his expression already indifferent.
