Chapter 108: Chapter 108 Spiny Porcupine (Bonus 2)
The long path was extraordinarily quiet. It was already autumn on the continent, and the cool autumn wind carried slightly yellowed leaves, gently floating down onto the road, where they were crushed under the feet of passersby.
"Master Magi, where exactly are we going?"
Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Blaze Regret was slightly out of breath.
"To Hildan Town," Master Magi, who floated beside Blaze Regret like a blue ghost, said softly. "Hildan Town is located deep within the mountains, extremely difficult to find. Even with a map, it's hard to locate. So, I want you to find a Spirit Hunting group first and go with them."
"Can't you find it yourself?" Blaze Regret rolled his eyes.
"I'm not a god; how could I know everything? I can only sense that the missing page is roughly in the direction of Hildan Town," Master Magi retorted, clearly irritated by Blaze Regret's disdainful attitude.
As soon as he left the Veloria city, Blaze Regret said to Red, "Red, can I ride you?"
Besides fighting, Red could also serve as a mount.
Roar~
After a slight hesitation, Red nodded. Now, Red was over two meters long and nearly a meter tall, when transform to Blue Flame Demon Cat, barely suitable as a mount.
When Blaze Regret mounted, Red felt his back sink. Fortunately, Blaze Regret was on the thinner side and not fully grown, otherwise, Red would have struggled a lot.
Even so, Red's speed was somewhat affected.
However, After a few hour Red was accustomed to Blaze Regret weight, so even with Blaze Regret on its back, it moved swiftly and silently. The surrounding scenery quickly blurred as they sped along.
After some intermittent travel, Red stopped at the foot of Tall Mountain. Blaze Regret vaguely saw a small path surrounded by overgrown weeds, indicating it was a piece of undeveloped wilderness.
Although at the back Mountain Blaze family manor has many wild Spirit beast, their numbers were few compared to the vast wilderness here, which had a large population of wild spirit beast, including many high quality ones.
Blaze Regret dismounted and stepped onto the path, advancing while observing the surroundings.
This piece of wilderness was overgrown with waist high wormwood, dotted with various wildflowers. Occasionally, rustling sounds could be heard as wild spirit beast darted by.
Based on their nature, wild spirit beast could be categorized as either aggressive or passive. The former, mainly carnivorous spirit beast, were fierce and would actively attack, while the latter, mainly herbivorous spirit beast, were the opposite. They would generally not attack unless provoked and might even actively avoid encounters.
Blaze Regret was not surprised and had no intention of paying attention to them. He continued moving forward.
"Red, don't relax. Always stay vigilant. This will be your first lesson in surviving the wilderness!"
Red seemed a bit bewildered. Just then, its ears twitched, and its eyes instantly turned fierce. It immediately positioned itself in front of Blaze Regret, tensely watching the rustling grass ahead.
At that moment, the rustling grew louder, and a porcupine like Spirit Beast burst out, charging at Red.
This Spirit Beast resembled a porcupine, about a meter long, with a stout body, short limbs, and sharp, hard white spines on its back and tail.
"A spiny porcupine medium grade fourth warrior grade!" Blaze Regret instantly identified the creature.
Unlike regular porcupines, spiny porcupines are larger and have sharper snouts. They are a common Spirit Beast, often found in grasslands.
"Dodge and use a bite!"
As the spiny porcupine charged, Red swiftly dodged to the left, nearly brushing past the opponent.
The next moment, Red quickly turned, moving with lightning speed towards the spiny porcupine.
During the attack, Red opened its mouth wide, revealing sharp white fangs, and avoided the spiny porcupine's quill covered back, aiming for its neck.
The spiny porcupine had no time to react as Red's fangs sank into its neck, targeting a vital spot.
A pained wail erupted from the spiny porcupine as it thrashed violently, trying to shake off Red.
In its frenzied struggle, Red tore off a chunk of flesh, causing a fountain of bright red blood to gush from the porcupine's neck, leaving it severely injured.
At that moment, the spiny porcupine turned its back to Red, seemingly trying to flee.
"Red, be careful!"
Seeing Red about to pursue, Blaze Regret quickly shouted a warning. Under his command, Red immediately activated Blue Flame Demon Fire skill.
Red crouched low, then suddenly leaped up. Blue red spiritual energy emanated from its body, converging in front of it and condensing into three balls of Blue fire in an instant.
The Blue fire quietly rotated, each ball containing spiritual energy far stronger than that of the blazing sun!
"Whoosh!"
The rotation speed of the three balls of Blue fire suddenly increased. Red's figure shot out like a bolt, with Blue red spiritual energy surging around it. A tail of light trailed behind it, the speed astonishingly fast.
In the next instant, the spiny porcupine shook its body forcefully, and its white spines shot out with a sharp "puh puh puh" sound, aiming at Red.
A single spine might not be very powerful, but being hit by so many could be disastrous.
With the Blue Flame Demon Fire skill enhancing its speed, Red moved with incredible swiftness, dashing out of the spines' range in an instant. The white spines missed their mark entirely, posing no threat to Red.
"Great, finish it off now with you skill!"
Having avoided the spines' attack, Red quickly resumed its pursuit. In a blink, it caught up with the fleeing spiny porcupine and three ball of blue fire fly of at the porcupine's head.
The spiny porcupine couldn't react in time and was struck on the head by Blue Flame Demon Fire skill.
Boom!
Crack!
With the sound of bones shattering, the porcupine's head caved in, and it fell heavily to the ground. Its limbs twitched violently a few times before it lay still.
"Red, well done!"
Even though the battle was relatively easy,Blaze Regret still gave Red ample praise.
