Chapter 84: The Second Half of the Beast Taming Technique

During their journey, Jiang Yifan would always find some treasure from inconspicuous places that would charm the rainbow phoenix.

It stayed by his side the entire time, and it would go wherever he said.

Its elders would probably be furious if they were here. Even the most overbearing princess of the Phoenix Clan had times when it was so obedient.

If Jiang Yifan found any spirit fruit, he would feed it to the phoenix. If he found any heavenly treasure, he would hand it to Xia Muqing.

Over time, Xia Muqing’s bag became heavier and bigger, and the little phoenix grew fatter and rounder.

After being nourished by all kinds of spirit fruit, she had grown much bigger.

The two humans and a beast reached a cave and prepared to rest.

After entering, they saw someone sitting in the cave.

Jiang Yifan stepped forward and politely asked if they could stay for the night.

That person had his back facing them and he didn’t make a sound.

Xia Muqing looked at the Daoist robes he was wearing and frowned. People from this era wouldn’t wear such clothes.

She turned around and was stunned when she saw the person’s face.

Jiang Yifan also turned around. The phoenix in his hand squeaked in fright, and he quickly calmed it.

It was a skeleton, and his Daoist robes were intact. Therefore, from the back, it looked no different from a living person.

There was a book in the skeleton’s hand. Xia Muqing flipped it over and saw the title: Beast Taming Technique (Second Part).

So this was the second half of the Beast Taming Technique that the Xiao family had been coveting.

Perhaps the Xiao family had found the first half of the Beast Taming Technique in the mystic realm.

Xia Muqing picked it up and Jiang Yifan exclaimed, “Be careful!”

The skeleton suddenly leaped up and extended a pair of claws towards Xia Muqing.

Xia Muqing quickly rolled and dodged. She picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at the skeleton, shattering its arm. However, he still attacked Xia Muqing.

Jiang Yifan picked up a tree branch and knocked the skeleton’s legs, causing them to break a little.

However, this also attracted the skeleton’s attention. It turned and attacked Jiang Yifan.

Jiang Yifan threw the phoenix into a safe place.

Just as the skeleton was about to touch Jiang Yifan, it froze.

Xia Muqing grabbed the back of its neck and with a jerk, his head fell to the ground.

The head happened to fall beside the phoenix, and it flew back to Jiang Yifan in fright.

Furious that he had just thrown it away, it pecked his head a few times.

Jiang Yifan tolerated its tantrums patiently, hugging and comforting the little phoenix.

Xia Muqing looked at the two halves of the skeletons on the ground and felt a little uneasy.

She suggested, “Let’s go somewhere else to rest.”

They naturally had no objections. Just as they were about to walk out of the cave, Xia Muqing instinctively pulled Jiang Yifan away and they rolled on the ground. The headless skeleton flew over their heads.

If Xia Muqing hadn’t reacted in time just now, their heads would have been severed right now.

Xia Muqing quickly prepared herself for combat before she fought the corpse.

However, the skull on the other end of the cave also flew over and opened its mouth at Jiang Yifan.

Xia Muqing couldn’t split herself up and could shift the fight closer to him.

Although the skull couldn’t die, it was nevertheless quite easy to deal with. Jiang Yifan could block it with a tree branch for a while.

The little phoenix was unhappy. This thing had frightened her just now.

It immediately took a deep breath and spat out.

Just as they thought that it was useless, an extremely hot flame spewed out towards the skeleton.

The skeleton was instantly burnt to ashes.

Jiang Yifan paused. The hair on his forehead had been completely burned away.

Xia Muqing quickly took a look and said, “Phoenix, well done. Have another try!”

She straightened and took another deep breath, more forcefully than she had used earlier.

Pfft!
