"Hehe, Qin Feng, are you trying to make a fool of me like a three-year-old child? Do you really think I'm stupid?"
Ling Xueyan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, staring at Qin Feng with a half-smile. Her gaze was as cold as a star, and her tone was as calm as still water as she said, "This Fire Kirin Beast is of little use to me. If you do not agree to my conditions, I will end this beast's life directly!"
Qin Feng frowned slightly and said calmly, "Ling Xueyan, aren't you worried that I might cooperate with the Fire Kirin Beast?"
"Haha..." Ling Xueyan threw her head back and laughed loudly, her laughter filled with disdain and mockery. "Qin Feng, Qin Feng, you want to join forces with the Fire Kirin Beast? In my opinion, you're just dreaming!"
"Do you think it's foolish enough to agree to cooperate with you? It's a simple and easy-to-understand principle, like trying to get something from a tiger."
Upon hearing Ling Xueyan's words, Qin Feng couldn't help but inwardly groan.
Indeed, as Ling Xueyan said, persuading the Fire Kirin Beast to form an alliance with her was an almost impossible task.
After all, his real purpose in coming here was to capture the Fire Scale Beast and feed it to the Iron Beast.
In this way, how could the Fire Kirin Beast be easily fooled and willingly become someone else's meal?
Just as Qin Feng was racking his brains for a solution to his predicament, something unexpected happened—the Fire Kirin Beast, which had been silent all along, suddenly opened its blood-red maw and let out a deep, resonant roar. "Human brat, I am willing to cooperate with you!"
Ling Xueyan's beautiful eyes widened in shock and disbelief. Her lips parted slightly, and she cried out in a shrill voice, "You damned beast! How could you be so utterly foolish?"
The Fire-Scaled Beast opposite him snorted coldly and replied disdainfully, "The truly foolish one is you! I naturally have a well-thought-out plan in mind."
Standing to the side, Qin Feng wore an extremely astonished expression, as if he had heard the most unbelievable thing in the world.
He could hardly believe his ears. The Fire Kirin Beast had actually offered to cooperate with him to deal with Ling Xueyan.
Doesn't the Fire Kirin Beast worry that after dealing with Ling Xueyan, it will turn on it?
It should be noted that the Fire Kirin Beast was severely injured and could no longer exert even 30% of its peak strength.
If Qin Feng wanted to take down the Fire Kirin Beast, it would be an easy task.
"Are you sure you're serious?" Qin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze flickering like lightning as he stared intently at the massive, majestic Fire Scale Beast before him.
So far, the strength displayed by the Fire Kirin Beast is already infinitely close to the legendary half-step Heavenly Dao Realm. How could such a powerful being be of low intelligence?
Therefore, Qin Feng secretly speculated that the Fire Kirin Beast dared to take the initiative to propose cooperation with him, probably because it was hiding some powerful and secret trump card.
Just then, Ling Xueyan, who was standing to the side, frowned deeply, her expression shifting between light and dark, as if she were going through a fierce internal struggle.
She parted her lips slightly, as if wanting to say something, but ultimately remained silent, only looking at Qin Feng with a complex expression, as if waiting for him to make a decision.
The fire-scaled beast, however, stood tall and replied with an unquestionable tone, "I have never stooped to lying! Every word I have spoken is absolutely true."
"Moreover, as long as you agree to cooperate with me, I can solemnly promise to give you half of the spiritual herbs in this herb garden!"
"These spiritual herbs are rare and precious items, including many peerless treasures that can help people break through bottlenecks and improve their cultivation."
As it spoke, the Fire Kirin Beast glanced at Qin Feng, its eyes revealing a hint of anticipation and eagerness.
Qin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, his brows furrowed, and he fell into a brief state of deep thought.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment, and the surrounding air became heavy.
Finally, after careful consideration, Qin Feng parted his lips slightly and said in a low but firm voice, "Okay, I agree to cooperate with you."
Upon hearing this, the previously restless Fire Scale Beast was overjoyed, and its massive, mountain-like body trembled with excitement.
Its massive head nodded slightly, and it let out a joyful roar, seemingly expressing its gratitude for Qin Feng's trust.
Seeing this, Ling Xueyan felt a surge of anger.
Her stunningly beautiful face was now contorted with rage, a disdainful sneer curling at the corner of her lips: "Hmph! You two are so naive, do you really think you can defeat me with such petty tricks? What a pipe dream!"
Before she finished speaking, she waved her right hand, and a sword emitting a faint, cold light instantly appeared in her palm.
This sword has a unique design, with mysterious runes shimmering on its blade, and its flowing light exudes a chilling aura.
In an instant, a thrilling and intense battle suddenly broke out.
The Fire-Scaled Beast roared, opened its blood-red maw, and suddenly spewed out bursts of scorching flames, which surged and swept towards Ling Xueyan like a volcanic eruption.
These flames resembled fiery dragons, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, exuding a fierce and menacing aura.
Despite the fierce attacks of the Fire-Scaled Beast, Ling Xueyan remained fearless.
With a swift movement, she dodged the oncoming flames with lightning speed, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air.
At the same time, she wielded her sword with lightning speed, unleashing a sharp sword aura that transformed into several dazzling sword lights that slashed straight at the Fire Scale Beast.
Qin Feng naturally did not stand idly by.
His brows furrowed, his hands rapidly forming hand seals, and a surge of powerful spiritual energy flowed from his body, converging at his fingertips.
In the blink of an eye, ropes shimmering with spiritual light appeared out of thin air, writhing like serpents and coiling around Ling Xueyan with lightning speed.
Despite Ling Xueyan's exceptional strength, she gradually began to struggle under the combined attack of the Fire Kirin Beast and Qin Feng, and fell into a disadvantageous position.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened—the Fire Scale Beast, which had been fighting alongside Qin Feng, suddenly turned around without warning, opened its fangs and maw, and fiercely pounced on Qin Feng.
Clearly, the Fire Kirin Beast's so-called cooperation was a deception. It wanted to use Qin Feng's power to weaken Ling Xueyan first, and then wait for an opportunity to ambush Qin Feng.
However, Qin Feng had anticipated this, and when he saw the Fire-Scaled Beast attacking, he neither dodged nor avoided it.
A golden light emanated from his right fist, and as the Fire Scale Beast approached, he unleashed a powerful punch.
The Fire Kirin Beast had no chance to react before it was struck by Qin Feng's right fist and was sent flying backward with a "bang".
