Chapter 7 (2/2)

After entering the forest, everything grew darker. It was abnormally quiet; Zhang Che couldn’t hear a single sound, causing his hairs to stand on end.

Zhang Che advanced several tens of meters forward. Although he didn’t discover anything, he felt his surroundings were growing increasingly weird.

“Forget it. It’s better to turn back and head in a different direction.”

Just as he was about to order his beasts to turn around, A bunch of black shadows popped out from between the trees like drops of rain, pouncing towards his beasts.

“Shit, what are those?!”

Zhang Che was shocked. When he got a good look at what pounced onto his beasts, his scalp went numb.

The bunch of black shadows were actually leeches as thick as his thigh. Their skins were dark brown in color, with strange yellow patterns on them, looking extremely terrifying.

“Cursed foul mouth! We actually ran into two-starred beasts, and in such a big group too!”

Zhang Che was on the verge of crying. Luckily, he was acting cautiously and didn’t follow his beasts too closely. Otherwise, he might already be sucked dry by those Maneater Leeches.

Although Zhang Che avoided trouble, that was not the case for his beasts.

The Large Tusk Boar, who was only a one starred bronze tier beast, and several maneater leeches were clinging onto it. It was crying out loud, randomly charging forward in an attempt to fling the leeches off its body, but its effort didn’t bear any fruit.

In just the time it took for a few breaths, the Large Tusk Boar’s body shrivelled noticeably. It was obviously unable to put up with this for much longer.

Zhang Che obviously wouldn’t stand by and watch while his beast died. With a surge of will, the Large Tusk Boar turned into a streak of light and drifted back into his brow, returning to his spiritual sea. That dark green card was now barely shining with light. Evidently, it had suffered a lot of damage. From the looks of it, it would need quite some time to recover, and Zhang Che wouldn’t be able to summon it for battle.

On the other hand, the Fiery Scorpion truly lived up to its name as a silver-tiered beast. Its carapace was extremely durable, and it was still in great shape.

Even when pounced on by several Maneater Leeches, the Fiery Scorpion displayed its ferocity instead. Although its large pincers were unable to attack the Maneater Leeches due to the awkward angle they were at, this ferocious poisonous beast still had the powerful stinger on its tail.

In the battles they fought earlier, the Fiery Scorpion had yet to use its stinger, due to how weak its opponents were.

Now, the Maneater Leeches had finally brought out the Fiery Scorpion’s temper, erupting instantly. With a swing of its tail, the red, glowing stinger violently pierced into one of the Maneater Leeches.

A red light flashed. The poison with added fire properties acted up, and the Maneater Leech’s soft body suddenly twitched about, falling twitching off the Fiery Scorpion’s body onto the grass. After struggling for a while, it turned into a streak of white light and dissipated.
