"Amethyst Winged Lion King, are you willing to follow me?"
Gu Fei stood in the sky, his eyelashes drooping. His voice, carried by the wind, spread far and wide due to the fighting spirit he exerted.
The terrifying and coercive words echoed throughout the dangerous area filled with monsters.
The low-level magical beasts that had surrounded him with their fangs and claws retreated, trembling and not daring to move forward, despite Gu Fei not deliberately targeting them.
The once ferocious eyes of every nearby monster were now filled with fear.
[The second-level monster Black Hawk generates fear, emotion value increased by 0.01]
[The third-level monster Ice Wolf generates fear, emotion value increased by 0.05]
[The fourth-level monster Black Bear generates fear, emotion value increased by 0.1]
"This aura…"
Not far away, the Amethyst Winged Lion King heard Gu Fei's words.
Although it had already felt Gu Fei's powerful strength from his tremendous momentum, it was its territory! It wouldn't retreat without a fight.
Soon, the massive body of the Amethyst Winged Lion King appeared in the sky.
It lowered its head and glanced at Yun Yun, who was standing under Gu Fei. A fierce light flashed in its eyes. Then it turned its gaze to Gu Fei and spoke in human language: "Powerful human, are you here to take my Purple Spirit Crystal as well?"
The Lion King felt uneasy. If Gu Fei were to support Yun Yun, a bloody battle would be inevitable.
[The Amethyst Winged Lion King feels uneasy, and its emotion value increases by 50]
"That's not the case. The Purple Spirit Crystal is useless to me!" Gu Fei chuckled and shook his head upon noticing the Lion King's emotional changes.
The Lion King felt relieved but was startled by Gu Fei's next words.
"I came here because I believe you have decent talent and are qualified to be my mount!"
Gu Fei's expression was calm, but his words made the Lion King's expression change suddenly.
[The Amethyst Winged Lion King is shocked and angry, and its emotion value increases by 60]
"What? You want me to be your mount? How arrogant!"
The Lion King was furious. As magical beasts, especially high-level ones, it's difficult for them to be tamed by humans. They are born proud and would never bow to humans. Even if humans are stronger, they won't surrender, even if it means death.
Thus, it is rare to see living adult magical beasts for sale. Most are killed, dismembered, and sold for their useful parts. Those who want a complete beast must settle for eggs or cubs.
"For example, guardian beasts of large families must be trained from a young age to ensure loyalty."
"Don't be surprised... Once you become my mount, you will understand this is the wisest decision of your life."
Gu Fei ignored the Amethyst Winged Lion King's rage and smiled faintly.
He then closed his eyes and released his aura completely.
As soon as the powerful pressure was released, not only did the surrounding low-level monsters kneel and tremble, but even the Lion King felt unprecedented pressure and broke out in a cold sweat.
Yun Yun did not feel uncomfortable under Gu Fei's care but could still sense his terrifying strength.
[Yun Yun is shocked, and her emotion value increases by 100]
[The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King has emotions of shock and fear, and its emotion value increases by 60]
[The third-level monster Earth-Splitting Bear has emotions of fear, and its emotion value increases by 0.01]
Although Yun Yun did not feel the pressure, her face was solemn, a natural reaction of the weak facing the strong.
Even the Amethyst Winged Lion King couldn't help but take a step back.
Yun Yun's gaze fell on Gu Fei's back: "Who is he?"
The aura from Gu Fei continued to spread outward, with a steady surge of fighting spirit.
Meanwhile, in the Monster Mountain Range, Ling Ying, some distance away, felt the terrifying aura fluctuation and stopped in surprise.
"This breath!"
"What's wrong?"
Ling Ying, who had protected her since childhood, rarely showed such a shocked expression.
Xun'er noticed Ling Ying's unusual reaction and asked in confusion. She felt uneasy but ignored it.
Ling Ying was very sensitive to this aura. Although Xun'er also sensed the powerful fluctuations, her strength was much weaker than Ling Ying's, so she could not perceive it clearly.
She could only vaguely sense a very powerful aura.
"Miss, I'm sensing it carefully!"
Ling Ying sensed it again and confirmed his initial guess.
He paused and looked at Xun'er seriously.
"It's Master Gu Fei's aura!"
Ling Ying spoke with certainty. Such a powerful and familiar aura could only belong to Young Master Gu Fei.
"Gu Fei?"
Hearing this, Xun'er was stunned.
She wondered why Gu Fei was here. What could possibly be worth his attention in such a barren place as the Northwest Continent?
The Northwestern Continent was nothing compared to the Ancient World. Gu Fei had left the Ancient World for training, so it was unlikely he would abandon rich lands for such a barren area.
Was it just a coincidence that they met here?
Or...
"Could it be that Gu Fei came here for Brother Xiao Yan?"
Xun'er had an incredible guess.
She was worried about Xiao Yan's safety and had been anxious because she couldn't find him recently.
Xun'er, who knew Gu Fei's strength best, feared that if Gu Fei fought Brother Xiao Yan, the mysterious strong man beside Xiao Yan might not be able to resist.
Xun'er bit her lower lip nervously and looked at Ling Ying.
She debated whether to go check the situation.
"What if the fluctuation is due to a battle between Gu Fei, Brother Xiao Yan, and the mysterious strong man? What should I do?"
"Time is running out. Every second you delay, Brother Xiao Yan might be in more danger!"
Xun'er decided without hesitation.
"Let's find Gu Fei."
Ling Ying quickly took her and rushed toward the source of the fighting spirit fluctuations.
At this moment, Xun'er was eager to find Gu Fei, not out of personal longing, but out of concern that her "ex-husband" might harm her old lover.
