Chapter 58 (1/2)
“Hmm? What’s this thing?”
Zhang Che immediately told Hanxue to stop. He turned around and scanned the area. His expression froze for a moment before revealing a joyous look.

Although the exotic beast was buried under the debris, and almost its entire body was submerged in the muddy water, Zhang Che immediately saw the exotic beast’s attributes despite only seeing a sharp claw exposed, its surface seemingly burnt.
In that instant, Zhang Che felt as if he struck the jackpot on the lottery. His heart pumped violently, his smile reaching from ear to ear.
This Scarlet Flame Drake’s attributes were truly too powerful!
It was so strong that even though this fellow was on the brink of death, Zhang Che didn’t dare to act recklessly.
It turned out that the tier above gold was dark gold!
Compared to the attributes of a gold-quality beast, a dark gold-quality beast’s attributes were like the difference between an ordinary exotic beast to the animals native to Mercury. The difference between the two was truly too great.
Just look at the overall attributes of the Scarlet Flame Drake. Leaving its innate attribute of fire mastery aside, that skill, Liquifying Scarlet Flames, was even more terrifying. It was actually able to melt steel instantaneously; how high of a temperature was required to achieve that?!
What made Zhang Che even more surprised was that the dark gold-quality Scarlet Flame Drake actually had a halo attribute!
Although there was no detailed explanation of the fire resistance halo, Zhang Che could roughly guess that the Scarlet Flame Drake would probably be unaffected by ordinary fire attribute attacks, unless it was a mythical-level beast like a phoenix that controlled fire. Only then would there be a chance of it being hurt by flames.
This was the true strength of the tier above gold-quality!
It was no wonder that Zhang Che had never seen an exotic beast above gold-quality. If there were more of such exotic beasts, it would be impossible for the humans on Mercury to withstand the invasion of exotic beasts thrice. They would directly go extinct.
Even so, this was only a dark gold-quality exotic beast.
What was the tier above dark gold, then?
From the potential of the Scarlet Flame Drake, it could be seen that its level and quality could be enhanced two more times. This also meant that there are at least two tiers above dark gold-quality.
No matter how low level an exotic beast was, at such a quality, it should possess devastating abilities, right?
Those were still very far from Zhang Che’s reach. Currently he was facing two very tough choices.
One, to pretend that he didn’t see this Scarlet Flame Drake buried under this mudslide, and turn around to look for an exit out of this mountain range.
