Chapter 121 - Chancing Upon Another Spiritual Flower (1/2)
Flying had always been a dream of people, even if they were hanging off of something.
When he encountered those mysterious toads earlier, Zhang Che had almost realized this dream, if it wasn’t for the Demon Eye Toad suddenly jumping out and attacking the Purple Jade Condor.
It was fine now; the ugly fish creatures in the pond obviously didn’t have the ability to jump, so Zhang Che could hang under the Purple Jade Condor’s talons without worry and see what was going on at the lone island ahead.
Since that unknown exotic beast chose to live on this island, there must be some reason behind it. On the other hand, the strange creatures wanting to attack it must be because either they had a grudge against it, or they were coveting something that the exotic beast was guarding.
It was unlikely that they had a feud. Exotic beasts weren’t human. What long-standing grudge could they possibly harbor?
Other than the relationship between the predator and the prey, there could only be conflicts over some object. It was the simple, naked truth of the bloody law of the jungle.
Zhang Che suddenly realized that actually he had potential to be a fisherman who reaps benefits from the side!
As he was flying via holding onto the whip’s handle, Zhang Che didn’t dare to let the Purple Jade Condor fly too fast, afraid that he might slip and fall into pond below.
These freaking ponds were home to those savage, horrifying big-mouthed creatures. If he fell down, they didn’t even have to open their mouths to their limit to swallow him whole.
Although those ugly fish creatures weren’t capable of jumping, Zhang Che was still afraid of them regardless, and he had the Purple Jade Condor fly at an altitude of a hundred meters to ensure his safety.
It wouldn’t hurt to be cautious. What if these ugly creatures were like the Mutated Puffersword, able to shoot out from the water?
Zhang Che wouldn’t take such a risk.
Flying at a high altitude, naturally his scope of vision was wider.
“Oh shit, what a huge flower!”
Zhang Che immediately noticed that on the island were a bunch of vine-like strange plants coiling together, with an incomparably huge, breathtakingly beautiful flower in the middle of them.
Zhang Che’s gaze was deeply attracted by it from the first glance.
He had no fitting word to describe it. The only thought in his head for the beauty of this flower was, -How could there be such a beautiful flower in this world?-
The flower was over a meter wide, its petals in full bloom. The colors on each petal came together to form a bewitching picture, yet didn’t give off a feeling of disharmony.
Zhang Che’s mind nearly sank into it fully.
“Could it be another nature’s treasure?”
After coming back to himself, Zhang Che’s eyes were beaming with light, thinking to himself, -This flower looks so extraordinary, it’s very likely to be a type of nature’s treasure!-
He’d really struck gold on this trip!
Well, it had been written in countless novels: treasures were always guarded by beasts, waiting to consume them when they fully matured, whether it was to increase their strength, or to attain a breakthrough.
This strange flower was closely guarded by an exotic beast, as well; it must be extraordinary!
Zhang Che shifted his gaze slightly to the side. Wasn’t a remarkable-looking exotic beast standing guard right beside it?
The exotic beast’s body resembled a tiger, with alternating black and white patterns on its fur, a pair of deer antlers growing out of its head, and a pair of folded wings on its back. The feathers on the wings were shining gold, looking truly mighty.
At this moment, the exotic beast was standing in front of the flower, its shining bright eyes staring at the ugly fish creatures positioned in a straight line before it, emitting a killing aura.
