With a jump, Murong Xue landed on the back of the giant-tooth beast. She raised her sword and slashed towards its head.

The giant-tooth beast found Murong Xue standing on its back. It raised his front legs and began to run like crazy and shake violently from left to right in an attempt to throw Murong Xue off its back.

Murong Xue's body shook uncontrollably. To stabilize herself, she had to use one hand to clutch the scales of the giant-tooth beast, which were very thick, big, and hard. Though it raced at a fast speed, Murong Xue slashed at it with her sword.

What? There was no cut. Murong Xue only used brute force instead of spiritual power. Her sword didn't leave even a scratch on its scales, which were as bright as ever.

The giant-tooth beast kicked up a cloud of dust as it raced, so Murong Xue jumped off its back.

"Ow!" The beast roared and dashed towards Murong Xue.

Murong Xue fought with it with brute force for a long time and grew tired, so she began to gather spiritual power, trying to finish it as soon as possible.

"Phoenix Roar!"

In the strong spiritual power, a red phoenix swooped down to the giant-tooth beast in a proud manner. The haughty beast's face instantly changed and became frightened. In the nick of time, it dodged and avoided the deadly attack.

The beast flew a long distance before landing hard on the ground, unable to get up.

Murong Xue intended to just walk away, but Xiaobai who was standing by and watching reminded, "Get its core. You can trade it for money if it's not useful. You don't have a penny, right?"

After getting along with her for a while, Xiaobai learned that Murong Xue was from the outside world, which was completely different from the place they were in now, so many things were unknown to her.

"Okay!" Murong Xue paused and remembered the fact that she had no money.

She then walked towards the giant-tooth beast lying not far away.

All of a sudden, the giant-tooth beast jumped up and fled away at top speed.

"Oh heck! A faked death!" Murong Xue watched the giant-tooth beast running away in disbelief. Of course, she couldn't let it go. This was her hard-won trophy.

She used spiritual power, trying to catch up quickly.

In the distance, a bunch of boys and girls dressed in the same clothes were coming this way. They were students of Fenghua College and came to the Death Forest for the mission assigned by the school. In groups of five, they needed to hunt a spirit beast above Level 5 and get its core to finish the task. Of course, the more spirit beasts they hunted, the higher they were ranked. The top three could get rich rewards.

"Fellow brother, a Level 5 wounded giant-tooth beast! We’re so lucky. Coupled with this one, we now have six cores altogether. The previous four were all Level 4, but this one is Level 5. We're sure to get into the top three." A gentle female voice was heard.

"Let's wait and see. Maybe it's someone else's prey!" The man who was called "fellow brother" obviously looked steadier.

"No one is here. You see. It's going to escape." The girl grumbled. She wanted the rewards. No matter whether there was anyone here, the beast was theirs as long as they got it.

"Beast, stop running!" The pretty girl shouted out, and then she got her spiritual power out and rushed to the giant-toothed beast that was fleeing not far away.

The charming girl was named Xie Linna, one of the five beauty queens of Fenghua College. Because she already reached the ninth stage of green-level at a young age, coupled with her sweet look, she was a well-known figure in Fenghua College. Usually, girls' levels were lower than boys', so a girl at a good cultivation level attracted everyone's attention easily.

Although the giant-tooth beast had been injured, it was still impossible for her to take it down alone. She knew that they wouldn't just stand by watching. As long as she made the first move, they would certainly join in.

The giant-tooth beast was in a rage. It just managed to shake off a powerful opponent who pretended to be weak. Now here came a girl who even dared to provoke it. Did she think it was easy to deal with it? If it hadn't been for fear that the man would catch up with it, the beast would have long finished these kids.

The giant-tooth beast roared, raised its claws with great power, and slapped towards Xie Linna

"Beast, stop!" Other members saw it and used spiritual power to come here like crazy.

However, the giant-tooth beast was faster, and its huge claw sent Xie Linna flying. Fortunately, it was injured, so the blow was not fatal, but she was still injured and vomited a mouthful of blood.

She didn't expect a Level 5 spirit beast to be so horrible. Having killed several Level 4 spirit beasts, she thought that a Level 5 one wasn't much trouble. Unexpectedly, they were not in the same league.

Wu Xiaomei, a teammate, ran to help her up and asked anxiously, "Are you all right, Linna?"

It took Xie Linna a while to recover from the shock. She took out a healing pill and swallowed it. The pain in her chest was relieved a lot, but her face turned pale. "I'm OK." She replied and stood up slowly with Wu Xiaomei's help.

The other three members were fighting the giant-tooth beast, but it was obvious that the beast had the upper hand. Xie Linna anxiously said to Wu Xiaomei, "Hurry up to help them."

If they failed this time, she couldn't afford the accusation of leaving the team without consent and disobeying orders. If the news spread to the Fenghua College, she would be severely punished.

"Then take care of yourself!" Wu Xiaomei nodded and let go of Xie Linna. She saw the bad situation. It was not the time to blame anyone. The priority now was to deal with the spirit beast.

Wu Xiaomei joined in the fight and the situation turned better, but only a little. They were still at a disadvantage. If it went on for a long time, they were sure to be the loser.

Just when the giant-tooth beast was about to wipe out these annoying people in one fell swoop, the clear voice from the distance made it tremble.

"Hey, little beast, you are here!" Stunned by what the giant-tooth beast had done, Murong Xue slowed down when she was after it.

The beast had no time for the fight. It turned around and ran away. This strange guy finally caught up!

"I hate chasing people. Stop!" Murong Xue followed up.

Those guys stood on the spot, dumbfounded. The young man was only around 20 years old and looked about the same age as them. He was only at yellow-level, but he scared off the giant-toothed beast that blew them out of the water. Who could fill them in on what happened?

They looked at each other and tagged along.

The injured Xie Linna also recovered a lot after taking the pill. So she also followed up by using Leap Skill.

When they finally caught up, they found that the giant-tooth beast was trampled by Murong Xue, its body full of injuries. Blood poured from many wounds, which looked a bit shocking and horrible.

"Little beast, you actually know how to play dead." Murong Xue knocked hard on its head with the handle of her sword.

"Ow! Ow!" It let out a weak cry as if it had been begging for mercy.

"What should I do with you? You let me run such a long way. I can't just kill you. I have to torture you. What do you think?"

Hearing Murong Xue's words, the five people all quivered.

The five people and the beast had the same thought, "What a devil!"

At this time, Xiaobai, who was running slowly, also arrived. Although its physical body hadn't recovered, it still had power, which was equivalent to that of a Level 6 spirit beast.

"Don't waste time. Solve it quickly!" Xiaobai said in a childish voice. It watched Murong Xue torture the spirit beast speechlessly.

Murong Xue saw Xiaobai coming and was ready to finish this spirit beast with a single blow. She began to gather spiritual power. Bright lights came bursting from the raised sword. With a roar of the phoenix, the beast died before it could struggle.

"The core is on its head. Take it out quickly." Xiaobai ordered.

The moment Murong Xue made a cut at the top of the beast's head with a knife, she saw a diamond core shining like a crystal. She pried it off with her knife.

She used Clean Skill to clean up her Phoenix Sword and the core. Clean Skill was the lowest magic art, which could be used by people who had reached red-level. It was not that powerful. Murong Xue didn't systematically learn the magic art before, so she didn't understand it.

With Xiaobai around, Murong Xue had a general understanding of many things that she didn't know before.

After putting away her Phoenix Sword and the core, Murong Xue picked up Xiaobai on the ground, turned around, and left, ignoring the five people standing on one side.

"Wait a minute!" Xie Linna cried.
