Sky-cracking Rider

Before leaving, Charles Grayson, the leader of the scientific expedition team, was still trying to persuade Chen Fei to put an end to the Shadow Wolf quickly to eliminate future problems and restore the natural ecological balance of Xingdu Kush Mountain Area.

However, Chen Fei, who was thoroughly repulsed by the other party, wasn't listening and found a rope to tie up the Shadow Wolf like a mummified dead dog. He then got into a large tricycle and ascended into the sky.

Exhausted and seriously injured, the Shadow Wolf had no strength left even to move. Perhaps it had a chance to escape in mid-air, but since it wasn't a flying species and lacked wings, falling would mean a certain death, which ironically saved it the trouble.

Finally, just before sunset, Chen Fei's large tricycle timely returned to the Aircrew Base 911.

Once night fell, whether they could still control this savage wolf was a question yet to be answered.

Hearing from Chen Fei that he had brought back a Dark-element Magical Beast, Shadow Wolf, Boss Hana had a special cage made on the fly, a transparent box cage with ventilation holes surrounded by hundreds of glowing light beads, with a ventilation system equipped with a filter and light beads set up inside too.

Dark-element Magical Beasts excel at using environments of darkness and shadows to conceal their shapes, even transforming their bodies into shadows to pass through narrow spaces easily.

Nearby stood a few heavily armed veterans, guns loaded with bullets, ready to shoot the Shadow Wolf dead at any sign of rash action.

"Why on earth did you bring this thing back?"

Hanna Gagel was puzzled as to why Chen Fei would bring back such trouble, yet she still made thorough preparations.

Unless it was tamed from a young age and used to human lifestyles and languages, many wild magical beasts inherently filled with wildness and unruliness act solely on instincts, making them difficult to approach and communicate with.

In her view, the best way to deal with it was to simply twist its neck, skin it, and remove any possibly existing Magical Beast Crystal Core.

"Teacher Shen needs a watchdog!"

Chen Fei pointed at the Shadow Wolf confined in the specially made cage.

The latter immediately bared its teeth at him.

"Xiao Jiu, heal its wounds."

Ignoring the defiance of the Shadow Wolf, Chen Fei snapped his fingers.

"Jiu!"

A light orb the size of a ping pong ball floated towards the cage, effortlessly penetrating the film-coated tempered bulletproof glass.

"Wait a minute!"

Hanna Gagel suddenly remembered something and hastily tried to stop it, but it was already too late.

Puff puff puff puff...

As soon as the light orb entered the Shadow Wolf's black fur, in the next second, faint black smoke emitted from the entire wolf's body, as if something was burning, accompanied by a sizzling sound.

"Owww..."

The bared-teeth Shadow Wolf involuntarily whimpered.

The Pure Light Sparrow, puzzled, tilted its little head and then, adopting a buy-one-get-one-free attitude, tossed another ping-pong-sized light orb over.

"Light Healing Spells can't cure it!"

Unable to prevent it, Hanna Gagel rubbed her forehead, again hearing the wolf's agonizing howl, this time even more feeble, fearing a few more treatments might end its life.

Chen Fei scratched his head, utterly bewildered, "What's going on here?"

"Jiu?"

The Little Bird was very puzzled, wondering why its spell wasn't working.

Just about to perform a stronger spell, it was stopped by Papa Chen Fei.

A more powerful one? A killer move!

Once a Light-element Magical Beast acquires an attacking skill, it becomes ruthlessly vicious, more maniacal than other elemental beasts.

"Elemental Restraint, the mutual suppression of Light and Dark you should know about the Five Elements Theory, right! It's roughly like that , what's nectar for one, is poison for another, Light Healing Techniques can only damage a Dark-element Magical Beast, without any healing effect."

Boss Hana revealed the truth.

Ordinary people generally don't come into contact with this knowledge and even if they do, they usually don't take it to heart, as magic and magical beasts are not often in the daily life of ordinary people.

As Hanna Gagel mentioned, after enduring two Light Healing Techniques, the Shadow Wolf, as if struck hard twice, became even more listless, lying at death's door inside the cage, its life hanging by a thread.

"What should we do now?"

Chen Fei had finally captured a live subject and didn't want it to just die like this.

"The only spells that can heal a Dark-element are Water Healing Spells, otherwise it can only rely on its own recovery abilities; however, Dark-element Magical Beasts are known for their strong vitality."

Although Hanna Gagel said this, she still gave Xiao Jiu another glance.

If the Little Bird continued to hinder rather than help, this Dark-element Magical Beast probably wouldn't survive the night.

"I'll get Er Lang to take a look; it might be able to help."

Unable to rely on Xiao Jiu, Chen Fei could only pin his hopes on another magical beast at Aircrew Base 911.

The specially made cage was transferred to a small Western-style building at the Energy Tower, surrounded by numerous plants in a sun-warmed room brightly illuminated by lights, with halogen lights even more transparent, lighting every corner clearly.

No sooner had Chen Fei and Boss Hana moved the Shadow Wolf along with the specially made cage into this room than the Golden-Eyed Azure-Hearted Civet, wearing a tactical vest, proudly pressed the doorbell.

"Got any good wine today?"
Experience new tales on empire

This greedy cat!

The next moment, it sniffed forcefully and wondered, "Why is there a strange smell here?"

"Speaking of Er Lang, here comes Er Lang, was just looking for you!"

Chen Fei opened the door for the Big Cat.

"What's in your house?"

The tactical civet felt the smell getting stronger.

It didn't like the odor, always causing a creepy sensation up its neck.

"I've caught a little one, can you have a look for me?"

Chen Fei invited the Golden-Eyed Azure-Hearted Civet into the house.

"Little one, wow, you're truly ruthless. But something smells off here!"

The Big Cat burst into weird laughter, thinking it was a literal child, until... it saw the specially made, shimmering cage in the sunlit greenhouse and was immediately stunned.

"A Magical Beast? And a Dark-element one at that? Hey, hey, what exactly is going on here?"

Er Lang was a Magical Beast himself and was quite sensitive upon seeing another Magical Beast being deprived of its freedom.

No wonder he had smelled something strange at the door of the small western-style house.

"Rookie just caught this wild Magical Beast, a Shadow Wolf!"

Boss Hana thought for a moment and added, "He even wants to tame it to be a watchdog, which is utterly absurd."

Regarding the indomitable nature of wild Magical Beasts, Hanna Gagel's view was no different from that of the recently rescued scientific exploration team.

Taming was impossible; taking advantage of the situation to bite back was the most likely outcome.

"Ha, hahaha... how could this be possible!"

The Golden-Eyed Azure-Hearted Civet rolled around laughing on the floor, while the Shadow Wolf inside the cage, seeing the Big Cat outside, which was also a Magical Beast, weakly bared its teeth in a threat, but grew increasingly feeble.

"I want to give it a try."

Chen Fei didn't feel ashamed; he was just bold.

When others deemed something impossible, he was particularly tempted to get involved.

As long as Xiao Jiu was by his side, this Shadow Wolf had almost no chance of turning the tables.

"You might as well skin it and extract its Crystal Core now!"

The Golden-Eyed Azure-Hearted Civet uttered words that were quite cruel for a Magical Beast to hear.

The Magical Beast Crystal Core was one of the main commodities in interstellar trade between Cangqiong Star and Blue Star. Magical Beasts living and working in human society were bound to encounter such issues, but they never cared about what happened to their remains.

Ash to ash, dust to dust, if their skin, fur, and Crystal Core were still of use, nothing could be better.

Chen Fei did not give up but instead said, "No! I hope you can help me revive it!"

"Huh?"

The Golden-Eyed Azure-Hearted Civet circled the special cage a few times, looked at Chen Fei, and continued, "Revive it, is there any point?"

"Maybe there is!"

Chen Fei shrugged his shoulders.

"A good bottle of wine, no, make that two!"

The Golden-Eyed Azure-Hearted Civet extended a paw, which no matter how it twisted, still showed five short stubby claws, making it impossible to tell whether it meant two or five.

This was profiteering!

Chen Fei looked at Boss Hana, who showed no reaction, so he nodded and said, "It's a deal!"

"I can try the Water-type Healing Spell 'Life Dew', but whether it works or not is up to its own fate."

Er Lang moved closer to the cage.

"Aren't you from the Wind and Psychic Series?"

Chen Fei had never heard of the Magical Beast tribe of Golden-Eyed Azure-Hearted Civets possessing tri-elemental abilities and casting Water-type Spells seemed a bit odd?

"This is a privilege of the Psychic Series, I can use a lower-tier to cast spells from other elements, and I can only use the Water Healing Spell 'Life Dew', little buddy, your brother Er Lang is going to start, okay?"

The Golden-Eyed Azure-Hearted Civet took a deep breath, and its vertical pupil in the center of its forehead quietly opened.

The eerie light emitted by the pupil shone on the Shadow Wolf sprawled inside the cage, which frantically tried to stand up again but was too weak and feeble to even lift its head.

'Life Dew' was a Fourth Rank Water-type Spell from the Human Order, stronger and more lasting in healing effects than the First Rank Light Healing Technique.

Er Lang muttered the Incantation quietly. Water-type Spells weren't his natural talent, and he still needed to recite Incantations to cast them.

In front of him, a blob of white mist appeared, swiftly expanded, then quickly shrunk, and turned into several crystal-clear water droplets hanging in mid-air.

Under the control of the Golden-Eyed Azure-Hearted Civet, these soybean-sized water droplets penetrated the temporarily moved air filter holes of the cage and sprinkled onto the Shadow Wolf.

This time, no case of Elemental Restraint occurred, the black wolf fur was covered in droplets which slowly seeped in and eventually disappeared completely.

"Done!"

The Golden-Eyed Azure-Hearted Civet Er Lang let out a long breath.

Forcing a spell of another element with spiritual power not only required lowering the rank but also reduced the efficacy of the effort.

"Will it survive?"

Chen Fei looked at the still half-dead Shadow Wolf, as the Water Healing Spells did not have the immediate effect of Light Healing Spells.

"Maybe, it should be time for a drink!"

Er Lang cared little about the life of a mere Third Rank Human Order Shadow Wolf.

"Jiu!"

Xiao Jiu agreed.

"Well, okay then!"

Chen Fei could do no more; he had tried his best.

If this Shadow Wolf wanted to survive, it truly depended on fate.
