Chapter 50 (1/2)

In the open grasslands, the herd of elephorses were walking around leisurely, occasionally munching on the tender, verdant leaves, giving off a peaceful feeling.

The scarlet red, jade white-tusked Golden Elephorse King, taller and bigger than ordinary elephorses, was currently walking slowly on the grass plain.

On the back of the Golden Elephorse King, a fatigued-looking Zhang Che revealed a deeply surprised look in his eyes. Sitting on the horseback, the corners of his lips were curled up into a smile.

“The elephorses really can be tamed, as I thought! It’s as good as me owning a supercar from now on. If those students from my class were to learn of this, they’d probably be so surprised that their jaws would become dislocated.”

Thinking of his classmates, Zhang Che couldn’t help but remember his short-lived student life after transcending into this world, feeling a plethora of emotions in his heart.

Truthfully speaking, although he was a little unaccustomed to reliving the campus life, if it wasn’t for his mother’s condition worsening, he would have been like the rest of his peers, finishing his high school life and applying to an university.

However, Zhang Che didn’t have any regrets about his decision at all.

If he hadn’t made this decision, wouldn’t he have missed out on seeing this vast world so early, nor would he be riding on this excellent mount!?

After about half an hour of contesting, the Golden Elephorse King was still unable to throw Zhang Che off his back again. In the end, it could only submit to him tamely, and let Zhang Che sit on his back, acknowledging him as his master.

Of course, the energy emitted from the seven-colored crystal played a huge part in this as well. Zhang Che knew this very well.

He was very aware of his limits. If it wasn’t for the seven-colored crystal helping him at the key moment, drawing the Golden Elephorse King out from his herd, he wouldn’t have had a chance of getting close to this horse king.

If it wasn’t for the Golden Elephorse King’s extreme greed towards the seven-colored crystal’s energy, he wouldn’t have submitted so easily, either. Not to mention putting up a stronger resistance, he might even have charged into the herd and let Zhang Che have a taste of countless tusks piercing through him.

All in all, these two got together willingly.

According to the usual practice, after taming a fierce foe, he should give it a flashy name. This guy wasn’t his subdued beast, after all. He had its own feelings, unlike those subdued beasts who would only obey his orders unconditionally, like robots.

“My home, the Earth, has the Ferghana horse.¹ Although you don’t sweat blood, the fur on your body is all red, untainted by any mix. Let’s call you Hanxue from now on.”

Zhang Che caressed the Golden Elephorse King’s mane tenderly as he gave it a special name.

“Huier huier…”

As if responding to Zhang Che, the Golden Elephorse King made a few cries excitedly. It seemed like it didn’t feel any ire towards the name ‘Hanxue’.

Zhang Che couldn’t help but smile. “Very well. It seems like you’re satisfied with this name, too. Then, let’s have a discussion. Can you contribute about two hundred of your people to me? Your master, I, is about to advance into a Tier Three beastmaster.”

Who would’ve thought that the Golden Elephorse King would suddenly stand on its hind legs, directly throwing the unprepared Zhang Che on the ground. After which, it grunted unhappily, obviously not willing to let Zhang Che kill its ex-comrades.

“You beast, you’re really asking for a beating!”

Zhang Che stood up, cursing jokingly, patting his hurting bum. Looking at the upset Golden Elephorse King, he was immediately at a loss, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

“I know you cherish old friendships. Didn’t I say that it was only a discussion? Just say it directly if you’re not willing to. You don’t have to give such a strong reaction!”

Golden Elephorse King: -I have some greetings for you, but a pity that I can’t speak…²-

Since Hanxue was unwilling to let him massacre its once-underlings, Zhang Che dropped any and all ideas about those elephorses.

In any case, this world was so vast, with uncountable exotic beasts. He’d just go find other exotic beasts to kill.

Now that he had Hanxue, it was no problem to travel fifteen hundred km a day!

If it wasn’t for Zhang Che’s low Tier and being stuck without a powerful subdued beast, he would nearly be unstoppable, no matter where he wished to go.

However, he should be able to check out what was deeper in these highland plains, right?

Thinking up until here, Zhang Che prepared to mount Hanxue and set off towards deeper into the plains.

Suddenly, just as Zhang Che flipped himself over, he saw a black dot circling around in the skies above him. He couldn’t help but furrow his brow.

-Could it be that some powerful exotic beast has set its eyes upon the elephorse herd?-
