Chapter 6 (1/2)

Sha sha sha, sha sha sha…

After Zhang Che walked several hundred meters towards the mountains ahead of him with his two subdued beasts by his side, he heard some noises coming from the shrubs to his left.

“Heh, our luck is pretty good. We encountered a beast so soon after leaving the safety zone.”

Zhang Che didn’t feel any fear. He was barely out of the safe zone. As such, he wouldn’t encounter any powerful beasts here under normal circumstances. Furthermore, he had a bronze and a silver-tiered beast with him. There was no need to be afraid at all.

However, just to be safe, Zhang Che willed the Large Tusk Boar to stand guard in front of him, while the stronger beast, the Fiery Scorpion, was put on standby.

Soon, several dark red millipedes came crawling out of the bushes, each of them about a meter long. It seemed they caught the scent of fresh meat on Zhang Che and were crawling straight toward him.

These millipedes had cylindrical bodies, with yellow rings spaced equally apart along them. Upon close inspection, those yellow rings were located where each individual section of its body was connected.

Zhang Che’s scalp went numb at the sight of these millipedes crawling toward him, raising goosebumps all over his body.

-These damn worms look so freaking disgusting!-

“Hmm? I can even see the exotic beasts’ attributes!”

Zhang Che blanked out for a moment after the information flashed before his eyes. Immediately afterwards, he couldn’t help but feel overjoyed.

With that, didn’t that mean that he’d be able to determine the strength of the beasts he encountered in the future, before actually fighting them? With such an ability, he would be in a much safer position!

While Zhang Che was distracted by his thoughts, the Mutated Dark Carapaced Millipedes were nearly upon him, causing him to hurriedly hide behind the Large Tusk Boar in fear.

This was no joke! They could spit out corrosive fluid! He could really die if he was careless and got himself sprayed in the face!

The Fiery Scorpion received Zhang Che’s orders at the same time and moved in the terrifying bugs’ direction like a war chariot, its pincers waving about.

The millipedes weren’t afraid in the least. All Zhang Che heard was chittering sounds, and saw wave upon wave of fog-like acid spraying out of the leg-glands of the bugs, dousing the Fiery Scorpion right ahead of them.

Zhang Che’s heart jumped into his throat after seeing that.

The Fiery Scorpion wouldn’t be hurt by this acid… right?

As it turned out, the silver-tiered Fiery Scorpion was pretty strong in its own right. The millipedes’ toxin only caused some discomfort on the scorpion’s end, and were unable to truly harm it.

Even so, the Fiery Scorpion was enraged by their attacks. It rushed up to a millipede in front, waving its huge pincers.

Kacha! Kacha!

The millipede was snipped cleanly into three as the sound rang out.

“What powerful attack this bastard has! As expected of a silver-tiered beast!”

Zhang Che was unusually excited watching this. From the looks of it, these ferocious-looking millipedes were slices of cake in the face of the Fiery Scorpion, awaiting its consumption.

However, what was with that trisected millipede still spraying acid at the Fiery Scorpion? It was just as described in the information flashed to Zhang Che; it had some really tenacious vitality!

“Crush it!”
