With a loud bang, the massive and majestic Fire Scale Beast crashed to the ground like a small mountain, raising a cloud of dust.
Its eyes, which were originally full of ferocity and cunning, were now filled with shock, as if it could not believe what was happening before its eyes.
Seeing this, Ling Xueyan's beautiful eyes flashed with surprise. She swung her long sword and rushed towards the Fire Scale Beast like a ghost.
A sharp sword aura shot out from the tip of the sword, accompanied by a whooshing sound, and pierced straight towards the vital part of the Fire Scale Beast.
The Fire-Scaled Beast, having just suffered a severe injury, had not yet fully regained its balance and was unable to dodge the sudden attack.
In an instant, the sword energy struck its vital point, causing blood to splatter everywhere, and the Fire Scale Beast let out a painful roar.
Standing not far away, Qin Feng watched this scene with a cold expression. He slightly raised the corners of his mouth and said with a disdainful smile, "Hmph! Do you really think I'm unguarded? From the moment you proposed to cooperate with me, I have been suspicious of you, this treacherous fellow."
"Now it seems that my judgment was indeed correct."
After saying that, he crossed his arms and stared silently at the Fire-Scaled Beast, his eyes filled with icy coldness.
At this moment, the once invincible Fire Scale Beast was severely injured and had no power to fight back. It could only lie on the ground, barely clinging to life, waiting for its final fate.
The Fire-Scaled Beast was panting heavily in anger, and low, threatening roars could be heard from its mouth from time to time.
However, the roar quickly disappeared, and in its place, the Fire-Scaled Beast slowly closed its eyes, which were as big as copper bells.
It was as if they knew they were powerless to change the situation and could only resign themselves to fate.
In this cruel world where the strong prey on the weak and the mighty reign supreme, every living being is acutely aware of the ruthlessness of the laws of survival. To survive, one must possess sufficient strength; otherwise, one will become nothing more than a fish on someone else's chopping block, at the mercy of others.
The Fire Scale Beast had clearly grasped this point, so even though it felt extremely unwilling and resentful, it had no choice but to accept its fate.
Standing to the side, Qin Feng glanced casually at the Fire Scale Beast that had given up resisting, then turned his gaze to Ling Xueyan not far away.
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a half-smile, and then said softly, "Hehe, how about it? Now you should be willing to calmly discuss this with me, right?"
Upon hearing Qin Feng's words, a hint of displeasure immediately appeared on Ling Xueyan's beautiful and refined face.
Her slender, willow-leaf-like eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her beautiful eyes stared directly at Qin Feng as she asked, "Are you really sure you want to fight me?"
Faced with Ling Xueyan's questioning, Qin Feng appeared quite calm and composed.
He raised one eyebrow slightly, curled his lip dismissively, and replied indifferently, "Whether or not I make a move is not up to me; it all depends on your choice."
At this point, a strange light suddenly flashed in Qin Feng's deep and bright eyes. He stared intently at Ling Xueyan in front of him and slowly asked, "Do you really want to fight me?"
Ling Xueyan met Qin Feng's gaze without flinching, as if an invisible force was colliding and intertwining between them.
After a long while, Ling Xueyan took a deep breath, seemingly trying to suppress the raging anger burning in her heart.
It should be noted that Ling Xueyan possesses extremely powerful strength, already very close to the legendary half-step Heavenly Dao Realm.
However, even so, when facing Qin Feng, who seemed so ordinary, a hint of hesitation and uncertainty arose deep within her heart.
Because she knew in her heart that if she really disregarded everything and engaged in a life-or-death struggle with Qin Feng, the final result would most likely be that both sides would suffer heavy losses.
Moreover, they are currently in this mysterious and perilous temple, surrounded by countless unknown dangers and challenges.
In such an environment, even the slightest mistake or injury could have fatal consequences.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Ling Xueyan decided to put aside her personal grievances for the time being and prioritize the overall situation.
"Fine!" Ling Xueyan's beautiful face was full of helplessness. She sighed softly, then parted her lips and said slowly in a slightly negotiating tone, "I want 70% of the spiritual herbs in the Spirit Herb Garden. Is that alright?"
After speaking, she stared intently at Qin Feng in front of her with her beautiful eyes, a hint of anticipation in them.
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng first turned to look at the mysterious and abundant spiritual herb garden. He saw a dazzling array of rare spiritual herbs vying for attention, emitting an enticing fragrance.
Then he shook his head and replied firmly, "Seventy percent is too much. I can only give you sixty percent at most!"
As he spoke, Qin Feng stared intently at Ling Xueyan, his expression serious. He then added calmly, "I have already made a great concession. I hope you will not push your luck any further."
You should know that the medicinal herbs in this herb garden are all rare treasures in the world, and many of them have been extinct for many years.
Each medicinal herb contains immense value and energy, making it a priceless treasure.
For Qin Feng, even giving up just 10% would cause him excruciating pain. Therefore, giving up 10% was already the limit he could bear.
When Ling Xueyan heard that Qin Feng was only willing to give her 60%, she couldn't help but frown slightly, feeling somewhat displeased.
She wanted to speak up again to try and persuade them, but she swallowed the words back, looking hesitant and unsure of what to say.
After all, if Qin Feng hadn't suddenly intervened, all the medicinal herbs in this herb garden would have belonged to her alone.
Although obtaining 60% of the required amount of spiritual herbs is not a small amount, it still falls short of her initial expectations, making it difficult for her to be completely satisfied.
However, just seeing Qin Feng's firm and seemingly unshakeable attitude, she knew she had to be careful with this issue.
Time passed slowly, and after a while, Ling Xueyan finally let out a long sigh, a helpless expression on her face, and said softly, "Fine, fine! Since that's how it is, then let's go with 60%... But, I must have the priority to choose."
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng glanced at Ling Xueyan with a slightly suspicious look, but did not say anything more.
Then, he took out a spatial treasure that emitted a mysterious light from his storage ring.
With a gentle wave of his hand, a flash of light appeared, and the Iron-Eating Beast, which had been stored in a spatial treasure, suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.
As soon as the Iron-Eating Beast broke free from the spatial magic treasure's restraints, its body began to expand rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the blink of an eye, it grew to be as huge as a small mountain, exuding a powerful and terrifying aura.
