Chapter 139 - Cornered Beast (1/2)
As long as the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander was unable to use its Earth Displacement skill, Zhang Che had nothing to fear.
If it dared to come out, there was totally a chance of killing it with the Purple Jade Condor and Cold Abyss Flood Dragon working together.
Of course, there was only a possibility of doing so.
After all, the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander was an exotic beast at the same level and quality as the Purple Jade Condor. If it was bent on escaping, the chances of it succeeding were extremely high.
“I hope that fellow will pursue out here in rage. If I can successfully kill it and obtain its beast card, I really wouldn’t have anything to be afraid of at the outskirts of this mountain range in the future.”
As Brother Meng’s final cries came to a stop, Zhang Che’s eyes shone with excitement, staring at the cave’s entrance without blinking, anticipating the appearance of the huge, black figure.
Zhang Che wasn’t left disappointed in the end.
After killing two humans in a row, the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander’s head was dyed red with blood. Its savagery was fully aroused. Upon seeing Zhang Che, the first one to barge into its territory, actually standing a short distance away from the cave entrance, it suddenly opened its mouth wide and let out a fierce cry. Its six-meter long body, as thick as a bull, quickly shot out of the cave.
“Great, I was afraid you weren’t coming!” Zhang Che suppressed his urge to break out in laughter and turned around, running towards the opposite end of the valley in a hurry.
How could the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander just watch as Zhang Che made his escape? Its thick limbs quickly shuffled forward, closing half of the distance between them in just a few breaths’ time.
Right as this moment, Zhang Che suddenly stopped in place and turned back around.
A bolt of purple lightning suddenly swooped down from the sky, the sharp talons under its belly reaching out directly for the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander’s eyes.
Zhang Che jumped up nimbly onto a huge rock about a few meters tall and summoned the Gluttony Monkey with a wave of his hand. He handed the bow and arrows on his back to the frisky monkey and locked his gaze onto the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander below.
“About a minute had passed since its Earth Displacement skill ended. So, I have to finish this battle within the next nineteen minutes, or it will be impossible to catch it once its skill is usable again.”
Zhang Che clearly remembered that the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander’s Earth Displacement skill had a cooldown time of twenty minutes. It was absolutely safe as long as he grabbed onto this opportunity and killed the beast within the skill cooldown period.
At the front of the huge rock, the Purple Jade Condor dove down ferociously from the sky. The Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander was left with no choice but to temporarily forego pursuing Zhang Che, fending the Purple Jade Condor’s attack with a swing of its long, thick tail
A crisp sound rang out following the long tail’s swing.
The Purple Jade Condor was obviously a little afraid of this powerful strike. Its diving figure suddenly twisted, narrowly dodging the counterattack.
With that, however, the Purple Jade Condor’s attack naturally failed as well.
Zhang Che couldn’t resist knitting his brow.
The Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander was a three-star dark gold-quality beast, after all. It would prove to be a very difficult task for the Purple Jade Condor to bring it down.
“Frisky monkey, you’re responsible for harassing the lizard when Ah Zi attacks later. Don’t let that fellow defend and counterattack as it pleases.”
“Zhizhi!” the Gluttony Monkey responded in acknowledgement. The bowstring of the Falling Star Model X was half drawn, with a M-type armor-piercing arrow nocked, ready to fire at any moment.
The Purple Jade Condor was extremely fast. After failing its attack, it quickly drew an arc in the air and swooped down at the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander once more.
Its aim this time was on the back of the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander’s head.
