Chapter 79 (1/2)
While Zhang Che was running for his life, he suddenly heard a wave of sha-sha sounds from the forest to his right. His entire body shuddered when he turned his head to look.
He saw a strange-looking worm with countless blade-like legs. Its entire body was over ten meters long, with sharp, stiff hair growing out of its back, the tips radiating a faint blue luster, anyone who saw it would have their hairs stand on end.
What was even more horrifying was that this long worm was staring at Zhang Che with its colorless eyes, void of any feelings. Its mouth was filled with tiny sharp teeth, faint yellow saliva dripping out. Wisps of green smoke instantly came from any grass that came into contact with its saliva, quickly turning to ash.

=========
Zhang Che was so scared that his soul was threatening to leave his body after seeing the attributes of this Demonic Poison Millipede. He didn’t care if he would alert any other exotic beasts and summoned the Wind Shadow Wolf, mounting it and escaping in the direction he came from.
Fortunately, speed wasn’t one of the Demonic Poison Millipede strong suits. Despite chasing after Zhang Che with all its strength, the distance between them gradually widened.
It was only when the Demonic Poison Millipede’s figure finally disappeared that Zhang Che let out a long breath, sighing fearfully, “This place is truly too dangerous. I better leave immediately!”
It was a four-star silver-quality beast, yet its poison was potent enough to kill any five-star gold-quality beasts without poison resistance. The Demonic Poison Millipede’s poison could be said to be horrifying beyond comprehension. Even that huge spider from before was probably inferior to it.
-Could it be that this mountain range is filled with all these poisonous insects, which explains why I encountered so few exotic beasts?-, Zhang Che thought, feeling that this was probably the case the more he thought about it.
This mountain range was so deep into the beast world. If it wasn’t the case, there was no reason he had come across so few exotic beasts after crossing several mountains.
Realizing this, Zhang Che immediately blacklisted this mountain range in his heart, deciding that he would never come back a second time before he was strong enough.
——
Returning to the hilly area at the foot of the mountain range, Zhang Che finally felt a little more relaxed. His back was covered in a layer of cold sweat.
“Zhang Che, Zhang Che, you’re getting too arrogant. You can’t continue being like this…”
Sitting on a flat rock, Zhang Che started thinking about his recent experiences. He felt that his journeys into the beast world had been a little too smooth-sailing, and he had become complacent, underestimating the beast world.
Although having an adventurous spirit was a good quality all beastmasters should have, it had to be built upon a sufficiently strong foundation.
He didn’t have a powerful subdued beast at his command, and only the Mutated Puffersword could be considered a decent weapon. However, its level was a little low; the Sonic Wave skill was unable to threaten mid-tier beasts at all.
