Chapter 59 (1/2)

Faint ripples spread out on the surface of the muddy pool of water.

The ripples quickly spread, while Zhang Che watched unblinkingly.

The invisible sound waves swept past, the Scarlet Flame Drake’s exposed claw twitched slightly and rapidly before becoming motionless again.

Just as Zhang Che thought the Sonic Wave attack was ineffective, the pile of rock and mud suddenly erupted in all directions. The rocks and mud nearly struck Zhang Che.

A majestic figure, albeit filled with injuries, suddenly stood up. A pair of long, narrow scarlet eyes stared in Zhang Che’s direction, revealing its ferocity.

“Xilvlv…” Hanxue neighed in fear, retreating a few steps uncontrollably before its limbs gave out on it. It nearly fell on the muddy mountain path and threw Zhang Che off its back.

“It’s still alive!” Zhang Che’s complexion went incomparably pale, staring at the standing exotic beast, his mind blank.

The Scarlet Flame Drake’s sharp eyes made Zhang Che feel as if he was in an ice cave; he almost couldn’t move at all.

At the same time, Zhang Che finally got a good look at this ferocious exotic beast’s appearance.

It looked like a large fierce drake, nearly a meter and a half tall, and approximately three meters long. It was obviously a carnivorous exotic beast, but it had a pair of horns curving to the front, very similar to a bull’s.

Although it looked fierce and mighty, the Scarlet Flame Drake’s condition right now was extremely poor.

Its entire body looked as if it was burned, with not a strand of hair remaining. Its charred skin was filled with scars, with only a tiny fraction of the exposed skin revealing some reddish yellow spots. Its original appearance was probably extremely pleasing to the eyes.

There was a wound on its head that extended from its left horn to its lower jaw, and its head was dyed from the mixture of its crimson blood and the muddy water.

Its left claw was even bent at a harrowing angle, yet it still supported its majestic figure proudly, unwilling to give in to its deadly injuries.

Obviously, the Scarlet Flame Drake was struck by lightning during the thunderstorm a few days ago, and was swept here by the mudslide, buried under the rocks and mud, barely hanging on to life with its last breath.

It it weren’t struck by the thunderstorm, ordinary impacts wouldn’t have been able to hurt this ferocious exotic beast with its insane defenses.

“Woof!” a fierce bark rang out from the Scarlet Flame Drake’s mouth. Hanxue’s body went limp once more, kneeling to the ground and threw Zhang Che forward.

-I’m finished…- Zhang Che sighed inwardly as he fell, devastated.

The Scarlet Flame Drake didn’t die; there was no way he could escape from this. All it needed to do was jump forward and claw at him, and he would be shredded apart.

However, just as Zhang Che was thrown forward, he discovered, to his astonishment, that the Scarlet Flame Drake that seemed to be looking for blood suddenly turned into a streak of light.

Even after he fell forward on the muddy mountain path, Zhang Che’s head was still raised, looking ahead with a surprised expression. His gaze was filled with disbelief.

The Scarlet Flame Drake actually died, just like that!

He didn’t have the mind to care about his delayed happiness, nor the pain coming from his chest. Zhang Che kept his head raised, staring at the light the Scarlet Flame Drake transformed into, chanting madly in his heart, “Beast card! Beast card! Beast card!”
