Chapter 292: Fire Spirit Root
Yu Muhan was taken aback. Her blessing was so powerful that Xiao Fei could kick the giant beast to the ground with one kick!
Ye Fei took a deep breath and wiped away the blood that had spilled from the corner of her mouth.
With a wave of her hand, the branches of the Imprisoned Bone Orchid that had been binding the limbs of the Azure-Eyed Devouring Beast quickly retracted, leaving only a small blue flower climbing on her left arm.
"I know you can understand human speech, but I need to explain that we did not intentionally trespass into your territory." Ye Fei stood in front of the giant beast, her voice calm.
The Azure-Eyed Devouring Beast lay paralyzed on the ground, unable to move. Upon hearing Ye Fei's words, a hint of doubt flashed in its large, azure eyes.
Aren't these two humans searching for rare treasures in its territory?
Ye Fei explained to herself, ignoring the Azure-Eyed Devouring Beast's reaction: "We are cultivators heading to the summit of Panlong. We plan to spend the night on the outskirts of Qingshui Valley. We accidentally entered your territory because my companion was chosen as the master by this Three-Eyed Jade Qilin. So... you don't need to be wary of us. We really didn't mean to come here."
The Azure-Eyed Devouring Beast glanced around and, sure enough, saw the little beast in Yu Muhan's arms.
After explaining, Ye Fei sighed and prepared to pull Yu Muhan away.
With such a commotion just now, the other members of the team will probably have noticed.
They must be frantic with worry...
Just as Ye Fei was about to leave, a low roar came from behind her. She turned around and saw that the Azure-Eyed Devouring Beast had slowly shrunk to the size of a small beast and was following her straight behind.
Ye Fei: "...?"
What's going on?
The little beast raised its paw and tugged at Ye Fei's clothes, gesturing and making some kind of noise.
Ye Fei tilted her head and looked for a while, then helplessly rubbed her forehead.
I'm so sorry, she doesn't understand animal language at all...
Left with no other choice, Ye Fei had to release Qing Li: "You are both spirit beasts, so you should be able to communicate with each other, right? Let's hear what it has to say to me."
Qingli flapped her wings and communicated with the Azure-Eyed Devouring Beast in its animal language. Finally, Qingli said to Ye Fei, "Master, it says it wants to form a bond with you!"
Ye Fei: "...Huh?"
She pointed at herself: "But I'm a wood-type spirit master, and you're a fire-type spirit beast. Aren't spirit masters only allowed to form contracts with spirit beasts of the same spiritual energy attribute?"
The Azure-Eyed Devouring Beast immediately explained something to Qingli, who then rushed to Ye Fei in delight: "Master! It said it sensed the aura of flames on you!"
Ye Fei released her wood-type spiritual energy in front of the Azure-Eyed Devouring Beast, and the energy quickly transformed into a ball of green flame.
The Azure-Eyed Devouring Beast's eyes lit up, and it gestured a few times towards Qing Li.
"I see!" Qingli flapped her wings happily after hearing the explanation. "Master! Weren't you wondering why your wood-type spiritual energy would turn into the shape of flames? That's because it's related to your second spiritual root!"
Ye Fei was silent for a few seconds before saying, "My second spiritual root is the fire spiritual root?"
But her second spiritual root had not been activated, so how could the Azure-Eyed Devouring Beast have known about it before her?
Qingli continued, "The Azure-Eyed Devouring Beast said it didn't know why it was so certain that the unactivated spiritual root was a fire spiritual root, but it did sense the aura of flame on you."
After pondering for a while, a bold idea emerged in Ye Fei's mind—her first spiritual root, the wood spiritual root, had mutated, and this mutation effect also appeared in her second spiritual root.
This explains why she, a wood-type spiritual master, could condense wood-type spiritual energy in the shape of a flame.
