Chapter 52 (1/2)

A strong wind whistled, inflicting pain on any surface it touched.

The Golden Elephorse King was like a scarlet bolt of lightning, whizzing through the vast grasslands at maximum speed, just like a supercar, but without the rumblings of the engine.

The oncoming wind kept blowing at his mouth and nose. Zhang Che almost felt like he was suffocating, struggling to open his eyes.

He could only hug on to Hanxue’s neck tightly, his body leaning forward, to let Hanxue take some of the air pressure off him. It was only then that it got a little better for him.

“This speed is freaking nearing two hundred kph, isn’t it?”

After leaving earlier, in order to test how fast could Hanxue run, Zhang Che told him to let loose and start running. And now, he discovered, to his misery, that this feeling was so amazing and yet terrible.

Other than the whistling of the wind, he almost couldn’t hear anything else.

Although the experience of riding under such circumstances wasn’t very good, Zhang Che felt incredibly excited.

Just this alone, other than flying-type beasts, it was almost impossible for other ordinary exotic beasts to catch up to Hanxue. That also meant that his safety would be greatly helped from now on.

Moreover, Hanxue still had the Lightning Charge skill. With a flash during crucial moments, he could be two hundred meters away. Using it to avoid long range attacks or sneak attacks from enemies would simply prove be awesome when needed.

The only regret was that Lightning Charge has a cooldown time of half an hour; a pretty considerable flaw.

But even if it had a flaw, it was still a skill, and an attribute that only beasts at gold quality or higher could have.

Unlike beasts who were below gold quality, even if you wished for a useless skill, that dream would never be realized.

As such, Zhang Che’s lucky was really not bad.

The gold-quality subdued beast, the Mutated Puffersword, had a skill; the gold-quality pet, Hanxue, also has a skill. His luck was as good as heaven-defying. One had to know that being gold-quality was only the prerequisite of having a skill. Not all gold-quality exotic beasts would have them.

Running at high speed, Zhang Che suddenly felt that Hanxue seemed to have knocked into something. He hurriedly ordered it to slow down, to prevent hurting its legs.

After all, Hanxue’s defensive capabilities were rather weak. Although it was still much better than ordinary animals, its safety wasn’t guaranteed when running at high speed.

Haven’t you heard of a bird causing an air accident, or a high speed jet being able to cut steel?

When speed reached a certain limit, even a speck of dust could contain extreme destructive force.

When Hanxue finally came to a stop, Zhang Che hurriedly jumped off and checked on its limbs carefully. Even though this fellow didn’t seem to look unwell in the least, Zhang Che didn’t dare to be careless.

This fellow was different from subdued beasts, who he could recall into his spiritual sea and would recover by devouring the seven-colored fog from the crystal.

Zhang Che finished checking Hanxue’s front limbs, and didn’t discover any problems.

However, when his gaze fell onto Hanxue’s left rear leg, his heart immediately tightened. An eye-catching blood stain entered his sight.

“He really was hurt!”

Zhang Che hurriedly stooped down his body and went closer to take a better look. His anxiety was simply indescribable.

-Did Hanxue accidentally knock onto a rock or some other obstruction when it passed through the grasses earlier?

-But other than looking a little fatigued, this fellow doesn’t seem any out of the ordinary…-

When he got closer and took a better look, Zhang Che discovered that the blood was only a stain on Hanxue’s rear leg. This big fellow wasn’t injured at all.

“Lucky… I was almost scared to death!”

The burden in his chest was lifted, and Zhang Che finally felt relieved. Immediately afterwards, he couldn’t help but wonder, -That blood stain, how exactly did it come about?-

Zhang Che shifted his gaze in the direction he came from, then trotted back, focusing on whatever entered his vision. After walking less than a hundred meters out, he saw a badly mangled grey figure lying on the grass. It was shaped like a wild rabbit, but its size was as least two times bigger.
