Chapter 34 (1/2)

-There is nothing on the tree; why would a group of data flash before my eyes?-

Zhang Che almost thought he was hallucinating. He shook his head forcefully, and blinked his eyes, then looked at the huge tree once more.

-Oh shit, there’s actually such an overpowered exotic beast!-

Even though Zhang Che confirmed that there was only a two-star beast known as the Myriad Transformation Lizard on the tree, his eyes couldn’t discern where it was.

As expected of perfect simulation; there wasn’t a single flaw.

Zhang Che was greatly interested, immediately standing up from the stone slab.

Just as he was about to move into action, he suddenly recalled the attribute he saw moments ago; the Myriad Transformation Lizard had a ‘Fast Movement Speed’ characteristic. He shouldn’t move thoughtlessly.

Otherwise, once this fellow ran away, it would be akin to searching for a needle in a haystack; it was practically impossible to find it again.

Then, how should he hunt this exotic beast?

Zhang Che sat back down and pondered to himself with knitted brow.

-Should I get my four beasts to corner it from all sides?-

That was obviously not feasible. Once the Myriad Transformation Lizard was alarmed, all it had to do was run in a direction and transform after leaving his sight, leaving him unable to find it again.

Then, get the Brown-Haired Boar to aim at the tree and use its Mane Projectile attack?

This solution seemed feasible. After all, the Myriad Transformation Lizard’s weakness was its poor defenses. Once it got struck by the hair projectiles, it would suffer substantial injuries and be forced to reveal itself.

However, this method didn’t seem very secure.

Zhang Che wasn’t able to guarantee that the Brown-Haired Boar’s Mane Projectile would be able to bring it down with one hit; as long as it remained alive, there was an extremely high chance of it escaping from his sight.

Then what should he do?

Zhang Che’s brow furrowed even deeper.

Suddenly, his gaze swept past the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly perched on some bushes at the side, and his eyes lit up immediately.

In the next moment, the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly slowly fluttered into the air, flying increasingly higher, until it was several tens of meters above ground and slowly flew above the huge tree.

As the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly was fluttering over, Zhang Che stared at the tree where the Myriad Transformation Lizard was, afraid that it would be alerted by the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly’s presence.

When the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly finally reached the crown of the tree, Zhang Che let out a silent sigh of relief as a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

However, now was not the time to be happy yet.

Whether they succeeded or not depended on the effects of the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly’s hallucination powder.

As Zhang Che issued his command, the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly immediately fluttered its wings, and countless motes of powder that were invisible to the naked eye floated down, shrouding the entire tree.

Following that, Zhang Che watched as a piece of tree bark slowly separated from the tree, falling to the grass patch below. It turned into a lizard not even a meter long with colorful patterns all over its skin.

He succeeded!

Zhang Che was overjoyed; the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly’s hallucination powders pulled through and knocked out the Myriad Transformation Lizard.
