The young lion cub came charging straight toward Chu Feng, drawing ever closer.
Moreover, its eyes were filled with a look of desperate pleading — it was... begging Chu Feng for help.
"Has it really been discovered?"
"How is this little lion cub so extraordinary?"
Chu Feng was quite surprised. After all, he was a Snake Pattern Immortal-cloak Spirit World Master.
How could the concealment barrier he had set up be discovered so easily?
What's more, this little lion cub was in the middle of fleeing — in such a state, it shouldn't have had the energy to observe its surroundings at all.
Yet it had still found Chu Feng, which only further proved that this little lion cub was no ordinary creature.
Most importantly, looking at the cub's pleading gaze, Chu Feng actually felt moved, and a surge of compassion rose within him.
"It's so full of spiritual awareness."
Chu Feng's heart trembled. He had seen plenty of demon beasts before, but he had never been so amazed by one as he was by this little lion cub.
"What do you mean 'so full of spiritual awareness'?" the Queen asked.
"This little lion cub is incredibly perceptive. I can't just stand by and let it die," Chu Feng said as he stepped out from within his concealment barrier.
Though Chu Feng didn't know where this little lion cub came from, just based on the fact that it possessed such spiritual intelligence, he couldn't simply watch it perish.
At the very least, he couldn't stand by and watch it die beneath the iron hooves of that herd of wild bulls.
"Scatter immediately, or don't blame me for being ruthless!" Chu Feng bellowed toward the herd of wild bulls.
His voice reverberated across the surroundings.
Though Chu Feng was also only a first-stage True Immortal, with the Divine Dragon Blood Ruler in hand, his combat strength was far beyond that of an ordinary True Immortal. He was more than confident.
Moo—!
Moo—!
Moo—!
...
The moment Chu Feng spoke, the herd of wild bulls seemed to sense the provocation, and their thunderous roars surged into the sky.
The sound was incredibly powerful, packed with overwhelming force. If an ordinary person heard it, their courage would surely shatter.
But Chu Feng was completely unfazed. Instead, a smile tugged at the corner of his lips.
This herd of wild bulls wanted to fight him? How could Chu Feng possibly be afraid of them?
"You stubborn little cattle, you just won't take the nice way, will you? Since you're so ungrateful, then I'll show you just how powerful I can be."
Chu Feng's playful nature took over. Although these wild bulls were quite strong, he still saw them as mere animals.
The thought of crossing fists with a herd of animals struck him as rather amusing.
With that, Chu Feng gripped the Divine Dragon Blood Ruler tightly in one hand, and his other hand clenched as well.
Hummmm— The next instant, a golden whip extended from his palm.
The whip was a hundred meters long — a forbidden martial technique.
Crack—!
Chu Feng lashed it forward in a fierce swing, and sparks of fire erupted across the ground. Soil scattered in every direction as a deep fissure spread across the earth.
An invisible force swept out from the whip, passing right beside the little lion cub and hurtling toward the herd of wild bulls.
Wooh-moo—!
The wild bulls were struck by the force, sent tumbling through the air with their hooves pointing skyward. They crashed back to the ground, wailing in pain.
Just as Chu Feng had expected — though they possessed the cultivation of first-stage True Immortals, they were no match for him.
Crack—!
Crack—!
Crack—!
Chu Feng didn't stop there. The whip in his hand struck again and again.
The wild bulls were sent flying into the air over and over by the force.
However, Chu Feng didn't actually want to hurt them — he just wanted to scare them.
So although the force kept knocking them airborne, none of them suffered any real injuries.
Moo—!
Before long, the cries of the wild bulls had completely changed — from murderous fury to utter terror.
They had all been frightened off by Chu Feng, no longer daring to chase after the little lion cub. Instead, they turned around and fled in the opposite direction.
Just then, the little lion cub had already drawn close to Chu Feng.
"Little guy, where exactly did you come from?" Chu Feng asked with a grin.
He even crouched down, spreading both arms wide, ready to embrace the little lion cub as it ran toward him.
Such a spiritually aware little lion cub — Chu Feng genuinely adored it.
But the little lion cub didn't slow down, nor did it leap into Chu Feng's embrace. Instead, it simply ran right past him.
"You've got to be kidding me," Chu Feng exclaimed in shock.
He had assumed that since he'd saved its life, the little lion cub would at the very least stop and express some gratitude.
After all, it was so remarkably perceptive.
