Chapter 120 - What A Big Mouth! (1/2)

If Zhang Che knew what Wang Dong was thinking at this moment, he’d surely reply cheerfully, “Brother, I’m just the opposite! Something good will happen whenever I bump into you!”

Of course, it was impossible for Zhang Che to know what Wang Dong was thinking, nor was he interested.

Zhang Che didn’t return to the swamplands immediately after Zhang Yujie’s party left. Instead, he remained on the opposite shore of the river, waiting for the Purple Jade Condor to scout ahead.

After some time, the Purple Jade Condor’s figure came into vision. Zhang Che had Hanxue start moving, heading into the swamplands once more.

This time, Zhang Che wasn’t returning to the area where the ugly toads resided. The Demon Eye Toad’s strength was a little too unfathomable, and even the Purple Jade Condor was helpless against it. Not only that, it even suffered a loss against it. Naturally he wouldn’t be returning for another bitter pill.

As the saying went, it wasn’t too late for a gentleman to take his revenge ten years later. He’ll just let it go free for now…

Travelling along the dry lands around the swamp, Zhang Che soon crossed a few small hills, and a cluster of lakes entered his vision. Well, referring them as lakes was giving them a little too much face. They were slightly larger ponds, at best.

Even so, Hanxue was unable to cross them.

Naturally, Hanxue had nothing to fear if it was mere water. The problem was that there was still mud underneath, which left the Golden Elephorse King helpless.

Zhang Che was helpless about it, too. He could only dismount from Hanxue’s back and put on the incomparably eye-catching Swamp Crocodile King hide armor. Turning the huge crocodile head helm, Zhang Che scanned his surroundings.

He didn’t discover anything after looking all around.

On the other hand, the airborne Purple Jade Condor did.

Following the Purple Jade Condor’s guidance, Zhang Che set his sights on a lone island located in the middle of the ponds. Despite looking as hard as he could, he didn’t see the exotic beast the Purple Jade Condor was referring to.

It couldn’t be helped. The lone island, about as big as a soccer field, was too covered with plants. Let alone the bushes everywhere, grasses as tall as adult men covered his entire field of vision.

“Could this be the place Wang Dong discovered?” Zhang Che suspected. There didn’t seem to be any possibilities other than this.

If he wanted to travel past this area, he had no choice but to cross these ponds to head further into the swamp. With Wang Dong’s strength, this was the furthest he could get; could he make any other discoveries?

However, what should he do now?

He couldn’t possibly take off his clothing and jump into the pond, swimming over. It would be like throwing a meat bun to a dog if there were any water-type exotic beasts in there, a one-way trip.

All this time, Zhang Che felt that his beasts and pets were really strong, despite not being a Tier Four beastmaster, and not being able to wield the Scarlet Flame Drake, with no equal match within the same level as him.

Today, when he came to this area he realized how glaring a weakness he had.

Even if he became a Tier Four beastmaster, the Scarlet Flame Drake wasn’t suitable for water combat, either. Not only that, that fellow’s weakness happened to be exactly this, water!
