Chapter 116 - Demon Eye Toad (1/2)

Something must be up when an anomaly occurs!

The croakings were too sudden. Zhang Che had no choice but to stay alert, ready for any attacks that might come at any moment.

At the same time, he had the Purple Jade Condor give up on scouting the situation in the area and lower its altitude, circling about three hundred meters above him.

If any danger arose, the Purple Jade Condor could cover that much distance in just two breaths’ time to provide reinforcement.

Zhang Che decided to keep the frisky monkey in his spiritual sea. The fellow didn’t have much combat ability except for his archery skills. In such a complicated situation, where bow and arrows were unable to provide much help, he might even become a burden.

As such, Zhang Che only had one Original Combat Body type beast left other than the Purple Jade Condor, which was the Fiery Scorpion, whose strength was already falling behind the others.

Zhang Che had no choice but to face this issue. Before he reached Tier Four and was able to wield the Scarlet Flame Drake, the strength he could rely on was a little too weak.

His personal safety would become a problem if he got into a situation where flying beasts were rendered useless.

Although he had the Swamp Crocodile King armor now and a qualitative increase in his defenses, he couldn’t possibly just act passively as a punching bag.

“No matter what, I have to get myself a few decent Original Combat Body-type beast cards before I return!” Zhang Che resolved inwardly. There was still about half a month’s time until the universities’ beastmaster examination. He might as well give up on doing this for a living if he couldn’t even get his hands on a few decent Original Combat Body-type cards.

Let alone the fact that he already had the three-star dark gold-quality Purple Jade Condor, he also had the terrifying Scarlet Flame Drake waiting to contribute to his cause when he rose to Tier Four. If he still couldn’t go on a rampage as he wished around the safety zone, he would simply be losing the face of every Qi Dian protagonist.

{TL: Yes, the author is breaking the Fourth Wall.}

The croaking sounds around him grew increasingly louder, and more concentrated.

However, Zhang Che still hadn’t discovered where the strange croaking came from. He only felt like they were everywhere, but he couldn’t pinpoint their location despite listening carefully.

“Could these be the powerful exotic beasts Wang Dong discovered? Impossible. If that was the case, given his strength, Wang Dong wouldn’t be able to leave this swamp alive.”

Zhang Che was suspicious. He had the Mutated Puffersword ready in his hand, and once any danger arose, he’d use the Sonic Wave attack to force open a path and return the way he came.

If all else failed, he could still get the Purple Jade Condor to ferry him away from this area if necessary.

Of course, Zhang Che didn’t dare to ride on the Purple Jade Condor’s back. If there happened to be a strong wind, he would likely fall into the water and drown.

His plan was to use the Rotten Ent Prowler whip to hang onto the Purple Jade Condor’s leg if needed, allowing it to fly him out of here. As long as he held onto the whip tightly, it was unlikely that he’ll fall during a short flight.

Gugu, gua! … A croak that was obviously different from the others suddenly belched out. Zhang Che’s expression immediately changed.

After that, a wave of soft sizzling sounds rang out in all directions. Pale green water arrows shot out from the surrounding grasses, bushes, and even the lotus-like huge leaves at the same time, all of them flying in Zhang Che’s direction.

The water arrows weren’t fast; their trajectories could be clearly seen with the eye. There shouldn’t be much force behind them, but Zhang Che complexion changed, nonetheless.
