Chapter 1226: The Ecstatic Peerless Fiend Beast
"It's here!" The mixed-race beauty's light blue eyes gleamed with excitement. The twin-tailed girl felt an inexplicable tension, while Qing Xie looked at Shen Qiang with anticipation.
Unfortunately, he didn't see any trace of nervousness on Shen Qiang's face.
Swish!
A dark shadow stopped at the cliff on the mountain ridge, and the gigantic wings made Shen Qiang overjoyed.
"Such speed! When it was discovered, it was ten miles away, which is five kilometers. If it came at the speed of sound, 340 meters per second, it would take at least 14 seconds to get here, but from when it was found to when it appeared here, I only counted to five in my heart!"
"If it maintains the speed of sound, then the flying distance per hour is 1224 kilometers. That means flying from the provincial city to Shanghai would take about an hour, and its speed is at least twice that. In other words, if Heshenghe has this guy and goes all out, I could get to Shanghai in just half an hour!"
"Not only that, by visual estimation, its back can accommodate at least three people. Perfect! Absolutely perfect! No need for airports, having it means I can go anywhere anytime!"
Shen Qiang's eyes shone brightly, and his mood was extremely excited.
Immediately, amidst everyone's shock, he instantly activated the Observation Skill.
In an instant, shocking messages surged from the Medical Saint Inheritance.
Extremely dangerous!
The leader of the Ancient Four Great Beasts, the Qiongqi!
Existence time: 298 to 300 years.
Abilities: Unknown.
Advised to flee immediately!
As these messages surged in his mind, Shen Qiang felt an exhilarating surge of excitement rush to his head.
There are many legends about the mythical beast Qiongqi in Huaxia's history.
Some say it likes to help evildoers, while others say it is one of the twelve divine beings chasing evil. Some call it a flying dog, and others call it a flying tiger. The legends vary greatly, unable to determine its nature as good or evil.
However, there's one common trait in all legends.
That is it's terrifyingly powerful, frighteningly awe-inspiring!
"Qiongqi, it's Qiongqi!" Shen Qiang trembled with excitement.
Upon hearing Shen Qiang's words, Yu Luo, the self-proclaimed mixed-race beauty, was instantly stunned, staring blankly at Shen Qiang, eyes full of shock.
"Impossible, no one can recognize such a legendary mythical beast at a glance. If it weren't for the large library of documents from the old chief, I wouldn't have been able to confirm this demon is the Qiongqi. But Shen Qiang recognized it with just a glance? How could this be? Could it be that he truly can recognize a demon's True Body with a single look, as legends say?"
It's not just her whose dazzling eyes were shocked.
Qing Xie was also taken aback, equally wide-eyed with shock: "Oh no! He actually recognizes the True Body of this demon beast. With Shen Qiang's ferocious and cunning nature, it's likely he'll turn around and run away, leaving us no chance to kill him!"
But just as Qing Xie was anxiously pondering how to prevent Shen Qiang from running away.
Everyone on the mountain ridge was stupefied to see Shen Qiang thump the table hard, his eyes glaring like light bulbs.
"Perfect! Amazing!" Shen Qiang then said excitedly, "You guys continue with the hot pot, don't disturb me, I want to chat with him."
Saying this, Shen Qiang got up and walked toward the five roasted lambs.
The mixed-race beauty said in amazement, "Shen Qiang, it's Qiongqi, the leader of the Ancient Four Great Beasts, aren't you afraid?"
Shen Qiang didn't even notice the curiosity and calm in the mixed-race beauty's tone, and only exclaimed excitedly, "This is a treasure!"
Reaching the side of the roasted lamb, Shen Qiang flicked his wrist.
The Fine Steel Scalpel appeared in his hand, and then, with a wave, Shen Qiang sliced a large piece of meat from the roasted lamb on the iron rack, looked up at the Qiongqi hovering in the sky, and said, "Smells good, doesn't it? I made it, and if you like it, we can talk."
"To ensure I haven't poisoned the food, I'll eat half first." Saying this, Shen Qiang divided the large piece of meat in his hand with the knife, ate the smaller piece himself, gobbling it down before looking up at the legendary creature with his mouth full of oil, saying, "If you want to have a talk with me, eat this."
After saying this, Shen Qiang infused True Yuan, and with a flick of his wrist, the roasted lamb meat shot toward the mythical beast in the sky like a hidden weapon.
Then Shen Qiang saw that the beast opened its mouth wide, the True Yuan-infused mutton shooting directly into its mouth.
Chomp, chomp.
The roast meat, which was as big as two palms, was chewed twice and swallowed.
Then, Shen Qiang watched it with tension.
Everyone present was stunned.
The mixed-race beauty gazed teasingly, thinking to herself.
"Has Shen Qiang gone mad? Although demons possess intelligence, they aren't humans. Conversations like this will yield no result. If he thinks the Qiongqi will follow him like a dog because of the food, it's nearly impossible. It's a king; it definitely won't yield to weak humans."
Meanwhile, back in the camp where nearly a hundred cultivators gathered, everyone was dumbstruck watching this scene.
Then burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, did Shen Qiang get knocked in the head by a donkey? Doesn't he understand that's a demon, not a human!"
"So funny. Still thinking of talking to it? Does he think it will pay attention to him? That's hilarious!"
"Absolutely hilarious. Who would have thought that a renowned figure like Shen Qiang would be foolish enough to think it would speak to him? Impossible, that demon will swallow him in one gulp next!"
Amid the laughter.
After eating Shen Qiang's piece of lamb and staying silent, the mythical beast Qiongqi remained mute.
But unlike the many cultivators from afar who didn't understand the situation, those on the mountain ridge were astonished to hear the sound of water droplets falling from the sky.
"It's drool!" The mixed-race beauty was horrified: "Shen Qiang, retreat quickly!"
Qing Xie's eyes were filled with excitement, eagerly shouting in her heart: "Shen Qiang, you're done for. This fierce beast's appetite has been stirred; it will eat you. Awesome, absolutely awesome. I didn't even have to lift a finger, and you're dead! Brother, cheer for me; I've avenged you!"
But just then, the mythical beast in the sky suddenly pointed to the roasted lamb that Shen Qiang had just sliced.
Instantly understanding the hint, Shen Qiang laughed: "You mean, you want to eat this whole roast lamb before you'll talk to me?"
The mythical beast in the sky nodded vigorously.
Shen Qiang laughed, pulled the lamb off the spit, and then, with a heft of his arm, tossed the roast lamb forcefully into the sky.
The mythical beast, which had been hovering in the sky, caught the lamb in one gulp and devoured it greedily.
Then everyone was amazed to see the beast, previously floating static, rapidly flapping its wings, ascending into the sky, and not just that, it joyfully spun in circles, even for those completely unaware of its thoughts. Its actions and behavior perfectly resembled a frolicking puppy or a coy kitten.
The unrestrained, exuberant joy physically manifested, as if telling everyone that at this moment, its mood was over the moon!
