Chapter 208: Yang Sanhu In Awe

In the next moment, a massive dragon materialised out of thin air, wrapping itself around Qin Feng’s body . Pointing its head toward the heavens, it shot up vertically .

Due to the extreme temperature radiating from ground zero, the surrounding greenery burst into flames . Within a split second, the jungle was turned into what could only be described as a sea of flames .

“Go!”

Qin Feng called out as he pointed toward the scaled tiger . The fire dragon responded with a deafening shriek as it swooped down toward its target .

The scaled tiger’s hulking frame made itself an easy target for the fire dragon, which unendingly spewed forth jets of flames at the scaly beast .

While the scaled tiger was able to tank its attack, the sheer force from the fire blast pushed it nearly twenty meters back from where it originally stood .

Its claws which dug into the ground as it was forcefully pushed backward created deep, visible trenches in the jungle floor . The trees around it had been burnt to the point where they had become pure black charcoal, creating a wide, dark streak that divided the jungle canopy into two .

“Roar!”

The two beasts clashed once more, their ear-splitting roars shaking the earth . Tall trees that stood around these ferocious monsters fell one by one, sending grey ashes that littered the jungle floor into the air .

Yang Sanhu, who was taken aback by the scaled tiger’s intimidating presence, was unable to participate in the battle .

“This…”

Yang Sanhu was at a loss for words!

In his previous battles with the scaled tiger, never once had he seen it balloon up into such a size . Its combat power now was multitudes more than what he detected in their previous fights .

And yet, its previous form was more than enough to send him and his team running for their lives . In its current form, the scaled tiger only needed to swipe once with its massive dagger-like claws at Yang Sanhu to take his life!

However, despite it being such a ferocious E-tier beast general, Qin Feng was still able to maintain the upper-hand in battle and even managed to make it back away in fear .

Qin Feng’s combat power must have been sky-high, more than that of the scaled tiger, in order to do such a thing . Yang Sanhu was in awe .

‘A prophetic child! Is Qin Feng what they call a prophetic child!?’

Thinking about Qin Feng’s age and his current might on the battlefield, it was truly shocking to the core .

Any regular E-tier aptitude user challenging a beast general all by himself was basically signing his own death warrant . To take down such a monster, one needed at least a hundred well-coordinated men to strike at it simultaneously .

Of course, for elite soldiers who were more or less on par with regular E-tier aptitude users, a platoon-sized team could quite possibly bring down the same monster .

But right now, Qin Feng was fighting alone and was still able to crush his opponent .

A heat wave swept once more across the jungle floor, forcing Yang Sanhu to fall back a hundred meters or so .

On the battlefield, the area where Qin Feng and the scaled tiger were fighting was now burned completely white-hot .

“I’d like to see how long you can last!”

Qin Feng muttered to himself . On the other side, the fire dragon shrieked like a banshee as it dug its claws into the scaled tiger’s body .

“Roar!” The scaled tiger went berserk . It tossed around wildly in an attempt to get away from the fire dragon’s deathgrip .

At this moment, its scales started glowing ruby-red . From afar, it looked just like metal that had been removed from a fiery furnace, glowing red hot .

As the scaled tiger roared the second time, Qin Feng seized the opportunity to strike down on his foe .

Raising his hand, he yelled out, “Fire Beam!”

A precise ray of fire shot into the scaled tiger’s open maw, cooking it from inside out .

Boom!

A dull explosion filled the humid jungle air .

The body of the scaled tiger, which writhed around in pain, struggled until it was completely motionless on the ground .

The earth, which shook as it struggled, had also finally come to a rest .

“Return!”

The massive fire dragon that was circling in the sky above transformed into a line of flaming runes . Like a flowing red stream, it returned to Qin Feng’s body through the area between his brows .

The surrounding ground was still burning but the dying flames too, formed into fire-red runes and slowly evaporated into the air .

The only thing left on the battlefield was a layer of ash that caked the ground .

Realising that the battle had ended, Yang Sanhu came running toward Qin Feng’s position .

At ground zero, the colossal scaled tiger lay dead on the ground . Its body was still covered in a heavy layer of armor-like scales .

Holding the Verdant Emperor Saber in his hands, Qin Feng smashed down on these metallic scales, which clanged as it fell off the tiger’s body . Seconds later, these scales faded away into nothingness .

These were all made up by energy, manipulated by the tiger’s own runes . Once the energy was lost, its protective outer layer would soon follow .

It did not take long for the beast general to be left completely exposed on the ground .

The mouth-watering smell of cooked meat soon filled their senses .

Under continuous fiery attacks, the metallic scale layer that was supposed to protect the beast had turned into a makeshift oven that baked the tiger alive . The temperature within must have been incredibly high as even its skull had burst open, which presumably was the final blow that took its life .

The scaled tiger was now edible as was!

“Woah, that smells delish!” Bai Li walked over with glowing eyes .

“Mayor Qin! You truly are a godsend!” Yang Sanhu said excitedly .

To kill off the beast general in such an effortless manner . To Yang Sanhu, this beast general was no joke as it had already killed off twenty-odd men from his team!

“It was nothing . I’ll take whatever I need from its body . You should have its meat, general!”

“Haha, that’s all that I could ever ask for!” Yang Sanhu responded .

“Give me a sec, I’ll clean it right up!”

Qin Feng skillfully removed the remaining scales using the blade of his saber . These were undoubtedly going to fetch a high price if sold at the market .

The ultra beast’s energy core was around the size of a human fist and was found in its cranium . Carefully lifting the core out of its head, Qin Feng tucked it away safely alongside the beast’s scales .

After that, there was the scaled tiger’s claws as well as its tail to be removed .

As a whole, Qin Feng estimated that these items could get him 10 to 20 million yuan .

While it was certainly a great amount for a single person, if it were the team effort of say, a hundred men, it would be a measly amount for any E-tier user when divided up .

And so, it took an awful lot of time for an E-tier user to advance into D-tier .

After dealing with all the sellable items, Qin Feng proceeded to carve up the scaled tiger . He made sure to slice a piece of meat for Bai Li to enjoy first before fixing breakfast for their team .

Now that the scaled tiger problem was resolved, Yang Sanhu could not wait to bring Qin Feng and Bai Li over to the spot where the hollow bamboo grass grew .

It was located at the foot of a mountain where only a fraction of sunlight broke through the dense forest canopy . A large boulder had formed into the face of a cliff from which cool mountain water flowed out, into the little pool where the bamboo grass grew .

If not for the scaled tiger guarding this area, this spot would have turned into a top-tier breeding ground for aquatic creatures .

Of course, if that were to happen, the hollow bamboo grass would have to be sacrificed to make way for these creatures .

While the scaled tiger was a true carnivore, it would still consume the hollow bamboo grass from time to time . Though, the beast general probably disliked its taste as only a tiny portion of these bamboo grass was eaten .

This led to the hollow bamboo grass being preserved for Qin Feng and co to harvest .

“Mayor Qin, the grand total comes up to fifty six stalks! Praise the lord!”

Yang Sanhu was euphoric . The Wilderness Rangers had truly struck gold this time .

“Right . I’ll deal with my portion on my own . I’m planning to transport it back to Fengli colony . ”

“Sure thing! Would you like me to get someone to help you?”

“It’s not a problem! I’m fine on my own!”

Yang Sanhu no longer kept up the courteous act . He hurried over and slashed down his half of the hollow bamboo grass .

Qin Feng remained silent as he did his job . Using the Verdant Emperor Saber, he separated the stalks from the soil . A large number of them still had bits of dirt attached to their roots but he stored them into his spatial runic equipment regardless .

After completing their bountiful harvest, Yang Sanhu and Qin Feng set forth on their return journey . Throughout their time spent around that area, never once did Yang Sanhu pay attention to the pool of water .

“This half month’s worth of trekking and fighting finally paid off, haha!” Yang Sanhu said with a beaming smile on his face .

Their cooperation this time had seen Qin Feng unleash his full potential on the battlefield, hence Yang Sanhu treated him warmly . At the same time, the general started pondering upon something after seeing Qin Feng in action .

“Mayor Qin, do you have anything you’d be busy with lately?”

“Not much, really . Though, I will be going to Sea City to attend one of Wanzong’s auctions!” Qin Feng replied .
