Chapter 29 (2/2)

While the Scarlet Head Golden Back Centipede was holding onto the Five-Colored Poison Spider during the Fiery Scorpion’s sneak attack, it had suffered a violent beating and was severely injured. It was unable to participate in the upcoming battle and was recalled back into Huang Tielan’s spiritual sea.

However, with the Fiery Scorpion that had gone through Zhang Che’s vulgar training reinforcing him, Lieutenant Qi, who had been holding the advantage from the start, immediately unleashed his might and cut down the remaining Five-Colored Poison Spiders in just a short while.

After doing a quick collection of the materials found on the three Five-Colored Poison Spiders’ corpses, Lieutenant Qi packed them into polymer bags, with each of them carrying one, and quickly ran in the ad hoc camp’s direction.

By the time they arrived at the camp, all other preparatory beastmasters in Year 3 had returned to the camp safely. They were gathered in groups according to their classes to board the military vehicles to return back to Qian Wei City.

There were many teams of armed soldiers in the camp’s surrounding area, on the alert with grave expressions. The military’s beastmasters even had their beasts out, guarding the perimeters, as well.

Zhang Che scanned through the beasts and couldn’t help but feel shocked.

They were indeed the elites of the army. These beastmasters were at Tier Two at the very least, with most of them at Tier Three. Not only that, most of their subdued beasts were bronze quality, with several silver-tier beasts here and there.

Regrettably, however, Zhang Che didn’t spot any gold-quality beasts among them, leaving him slightly disappointed.

-It seems like gold-quality exotic beasts are in a different league and aren’t as common. Who knows when will I have my own gold-quality beast?-

Even if it was a one-star gold-quality beast, its strength would be greater than a four-star black iron-quality beast!

To determine whether a beastmaster was strong, one had to look at his Tier level. That would decide whether he could employ a higher-level beast, as well as the quantity of them.

However, the more important aspect was the beast’s quality.

Zhang Che was anticipating the day when he could have his own gold-quality beast!

On their trip back, Lieutenant Qi did not accompany the Class 2 group. He had to remain at the camp to deal with what was going to come with the others.

“Goodbye, all of you. I hope you’ll become powerful beastmasters in the future, and do your part for the future of the Alliance.”

After bidding farewell to the reluctant boys and girls, Lieutenant Qi went up to Zhang Che and looked at him in admiration, asking, “Zhang Che, do you intend to try for military school? I feel that there’s a lot of potential in you. Your future will definitely be bright if you join the military.”

Zhang Che hesitated for a moment, then rejected Lieutenant Qi’s proposal apologetically, “That, I have no intentions of joining the military.”

Enlisting in the army? That was impossible. He would never become a soldier in his life. Zhang Che didn’t think he could endure the army’s restrictions.

Moreover, there was a huge secret on him. It was much better to be an unrestrained lone wanderer.

“That’s really a pity.” Lieutenant Qi didn’t insist. He shook his head and sighed, then pointed at two polymer bags on the ground and said, “In that battle earlier, it was all thanks to both of your assistance. Split the two Five-Colored Poison Spiders’ materials among yourselves.”

Zhang Che was overjoyed. He didn’t act pretentious and accepted them directly.

One had to know that a Five-Colored Poison Spider’s materials could sell for nearly 100 thousand Alliance dollars. To Zhang Che, this was not a small sum!
