Chapter 35 (2/2)

Zhang Che looked at the pond ahead of him, surrounded by cliffs on three sides, speechless.

He actually walked into a dead end by accident. How depressing; turning back would waste quite some time.

The sky was starting to turn dark, and he didn’t know whether the area around the pond was safe, either. If there weren’t any powerful exotic beasts here, he could set up camp here for the night.

Thinking of this, Zhang Che ordered the Wind Shadow Wolf to lead the way, while the other three beasts guarded by his side, carefully walking forward along the serene flow of water.

They carefully trekked ahead, not seeing any signs of activities of exotic beasts. This let Zhang Che feel a little relieved.

-It’s good this way; I’ll set up camp here tonight!-

“Huala!”

However, just as the scouting Wind Shadow Wolf reached the pond, a figure suddenly shot out of the water and attacked it like a bolt of lightning.

Zhang Che faintly saw a streamlined figure. As for what exactly was it, his eyes really couldn’t catch it; that just showed how fast that thing was.

However, the Wind Shadow Wolf wasn’t only for show, either. In the moment that figure shot out of the water, it had reacted in time and swiftly dodged to the side like the wind, narrowly avoiding that unknown beast’s attack.

The lightning-fast figure fell into the bushes by the pond, finally revealing its true appearance to Zhang Che.

It was actually a puffer fish that looked rather strange. Its body was over two meters long, of which, its upper jaw was mutated into a green, thin sword that was about half a meter long.

“It’s actually a gold-quality beast!”

Zhang Che’s eyes went wide, feeling fear afterwards.

It was fortunate that he got his agile Wind Shadow Wolf to lead the way. Otherwise, if the Mutated Puffersword’s target was him instead, there would probably be a gaping hole in his body by now.

Immediately after, Zhang Che’s eyes were beaming with excitement.

It seemed like the Mutated Puffersword has no strong suits other than its astonishing speed.

The more important point was, now that it had left the body of water, its speed was far lower than before.

-It looks like I can afford to mess with it..?-

The Mutated Puffersword missed its surprise attack and fell into the bushes by the pond. It didn’t continue its assault on the Wind Shadow Wolf, either, and was instead wiggling its body in an attempt to get back into the water.

Alas, the grasses growing by the pond were rich and abundant. This gold-quality exotic beast couldn’t get back any time soon.

-What is there to deliberate, then? Kill it!-
