Chapter 138 - Smashed Into Meat Paste (1/2)
“A Tier Four beastmaster, and a Tier Five beastmaster. Although the quality of their subdued beasts are a little poor, there’s a five-star silver-quality beast and a three-star gold-quality beast among them. They should be able to hold on for some time, right?”
Zhang Che, using the Rotten Ent Prowler whip to quickly leave the area, ran all the way outside before stopping, and summoned his competent subdued beasts and pets again.
He stood a short distance away from the cave entrance, his eyes narrowed, calculating how long the two could hold on with their strength.
The two were definitely not weak by any means.
A five-star silver-quality beast’s basic strength and speed was actually slightly higher than that of a three-star dark gold-quality beast’s. However, their offensive and defensive strengths were weaker. Adding on the fact that it didn’t have a skill, it was basically impossible for it to defeat a three-star gold-quality beast.
Of course, there was still a three-star gold-quality beast in the mix. If they combined strengths, it was possible to fend off the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander for a bit.
“Heh, I wonder what the looks on their faces will be like if they see the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander suddenly disappearing before their eyes.”
A strange smile appeared on Zhang Che’s face. During the battle earlier, he could tell that the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander’s “aggro meter” {TL: Gaming reference} was quickly reaching its peak. If it still wasn’t able to break past the Purple Jade Condor and Cold Abyss Flood Dragon’s defensive blockade, it would surely have activated its skill and attacked him directly.
The intuition of a dark gold-quality beast was rather terrifying. They knew how to look for their enemies’ weaknesses, and even when they were fighting the subdued beasts of a beastmaster, they could quickly sense that they only needed to get rid of the beastmaster behind them to end the fight.
——
Inside the cave, countless curses were flashing through Brother Meng and the punk’s minds.
They had originally intended to backstab Zhang Che while he wasn’t paying attention and snatch that powerful exotic beast away.
In a certain sense, their objective was achieved.
There were indeed only their subdued beasts and the exotic beast left in the cave. All they needed was to have their subdued beasts gang up on the lizard-like exotic beast, and they’d have a very high chance of obtaining a beast card.
As for the escaped Zhang Che, he didn’t really bother them much.
As long as they could kill the exotic beast and obtain a high-quality beast card, would they not be able to take care of that kid?
Even so, they had not expected this lizard-like exotic beast to be powerful to this extent.
In just a single exchange of moves, the beastmasters lost two of their relatively weaker subdued beasts. They panicked and wanted to make a run for it.
“Let’s go, quick! We can’t handle this exotic beast!” Brother Meng’s face sank as he turned around to run for the cave’s exit.
The punk hurriedly followed him, asking worriedly as he ran, “Brother Meng, what should we do if that kid is still outside?”
This was a problem indeed; they would surely be in for a bad time if Zhang Che was waiting outside the cave to ambush them.
Brother Meng cursed out loud, “God damn it, why are you still thinking so much!? You’re going to die if you don’t run!”
Seeing the two turning tail to run, the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander’s “aggro meter” immediately peaked.
-What do you think this place is, to come and go as you please!? If I don’t teach you a lesson, you’re really going to think I’m some pushover!-
The enraged Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander immediately activated its Earth Displacement skill. Its huge figure disappeared, sinking into the ground as if it was entering water, leaving the subdued beasts staring wide-eyed, not knowing how to proceed.
Their masters’ order was to hold back this exotic beast and buy them time to escape.
However, now that their enemy went missing, what should they do?
Luckily, they wouldn’t have to be so troubled very soon.
The punk running at the back suddenly felt something amiss. -Why is it suddenly quiet back there?-
