Chapter 110 - Youre Pretty Good, Kid (2/2)

A dozen or so young men boarded the bus silently. They found their seats and sat upright calmly, bringing a subtle atmosphere to the coach.

The coach resumed its journey. Zhang Che shut his eyes once more, wanting to get some rest. There was still about an hour’s worth of journey before they arrived at the suburb military camp.

However, a few minutes later, the coach was flagged down again, and another dozen or so men boarded the coach. All of them also found their seats silently, none of them making any sound.

Zhang Che felt something was amiss; -Is there a problem with these two batches of people?-

However, Zhang Che wasn’t worried that they would make any strange moves. With his capable beasts, especially the three-star dark gold-quality Purple Jade Condor, he wasn’t afraid in the least if these people were to try anything funny.

Would there be anyone here stronger than him?

In a small city like Qian Wei City, a beastmaster of such caliber would have some fame to their name. Which of them would choose to ride a public coach?

The coach didn’t make any more stops after this. It kept driving towards the spatial gateway, and soon left the city area, driving into the suburb plains.

After travelling about two-thirds of the way, the coach came to a sudden stop. The driver shouted in shock, “Run! There’s a huge group of exotic beasts surrounding us!”

Rattle… Just as the door opened, the thirty-odd passengers jumped out of the vehicle in a well coordinated manner, running in the direction they came from. Their speed even left Zhang Che sweating at the sight of it.

Looking at the huge group of exotic beasts crawling out from both sides of the road, Zhang Che’s eyes were filled with doubt.

-Isn’t these only the most common Sharp-Clawed Hounds? They were simply trashes among trashes of exotic beasts. You guys are heading to the beast world, after all. If everyone worked together, did they have to be afraid of a mere few dozen Sharp-Clawed Hounds?-

-No, that’s not it. Something must be up.-

However, Zhang Che couldn’t exactly put his finger on what was so strange. He walked up to the front of the coach with long strides. The driver was nearly scared silly, his face filled with terror, and he even forgot to forsake his vehicle to escape.

“Forget it. This guy seems to be a commoner; I’ll just help him out,” Zhang Che shook his head. If he ran away by himself, there was no other ending for this driver other than being torn apart by the Sharp-Clawed Hounds.

Although the coach was fitted with a layer of decent armor, it wasn’t a real military vehicle, after all. It was hard to tell how long it could last against the claws of the Sharp-Clawed Hounds.

Seeing that Zhang Che didn’t run away, the driver felt as if he found the life-saving straw and started pleading, “You have to save me, kid. I have both elders and children at home. If I die here, they wouldn’t be able to live on.”

Zhang Che nodded, “Just continue driving straight.”

“Ah?” The middle-aged driver was baffled. -Shouldn’t you use your subdued beasts to get rid of these Sharp-Clawed Hounds before we set off?-

While the middle-aged driver was acting doubtful about this, a two-star gold-quality beast card suddenly appeared in Zhang Che’s hand, and turned into a strangely shaped green sword. He aimed it at the swarming Sharp-Clawed Hounds ahead of them.

In the next moment, every Sharp-Clawed Hound was struck by an invisible force. They fell to the ground, bleeding from their orifices, and stopped moving.

The middle-aged driver’s mouth was wide open, unable to speak a word.

——

When the driver dropped Zhang Che, the sole passenger, off at the suburb military camp, he waved widely at him, saying, “You’re pretty good, kid! Thank you so much for earlier! Forget about the bus fare!”

Zhang Che shook his head firmly. He opened his personal terminal and said calmly, “The money has to be paid. Let alone the bus fare, the performance fee for the group of brother soldiers can’t be done without. They can’t possibly work for free, can they? Quickly accept the money; I’m still short on time to enter the beast world!”

The middle-aged driver had nothing to say…
