Chapter 152 - The Scarlet Flame Drakes True Strength (2/2)
After all, not only were the Rock Tortoise’s projectiles powerful, their range was also quite long. It might be able to bring about some unexpected results under certain circumstances.
The Rock Tortoise shot a rock bullet from its mouth, which flew for nearly three hundred meters straight before exhausting all momentum and falling to the ground.
“Good, it’s actually still capable of attacking!” Zhang Che laughed out loud, clapping excitedly.
As long as the Rock Tortoise’s rock bullet attacks were still usable, its offensive strength wouldn’t be reduced too heavily. After all, if they were somewhere with rocks around them, it could replenish its ammunition at any time, couldn’t it?
As for the Rock Bullet Gatling’s cooldown time, Zhang Che didn’t worry about it. Under normal circumstances, a single shot was sufficient; what need was there for consecutive shots!?

“Now, we should go find that Vampiric Demon Carpet for a talk.”
Zhang Che had taken the matter of the Vampiric Demon Carpet snatching the delicacy from him to heart. He would surely get back at it if there was an opportunity to do so!
Now that the Scarlet Flame Drake had made its shining appearance, the Vampiric Demon Carpet, seemingly invincible among beasts of similar quality and level, was nothing worth mentioning. Could it possibly hope to withstand the Scarlet Flame Drake’s Liquifying Scarlet Flames?
“Hmm? Right, the Scarlet Flame Drake needs a day’s rest to recover its vital energy to use its skill again. Isn’t the cooldown time a little too long?”
Zhang Che hurriedly looked at the Scarlet Flame Drake at his side. However, he realized that it didn’t look fatigued, at least from its outer appearance. He wondered if it could continue using its skill.
In the description of its skill, it could last for three whole seconds, while it only took a second to kill Wu Yunfeng earlier. It should be able to spit flames for two more seconds, right?
“Forget it; I’d better not test it for now. If I used up all of its vital energy at once, I’d have to wait a whole day. That’s too…” Thinking up until here, Zhang Che suddenly widened his eyes.
-No, that’s not it!
-It’s not cooldown time; there isn’t any mentioning of that in the skill’s description!
-Since it needs to recover vital energy, what method is there that is faster than absorbing the rainbow crystal’s energy?-
Thinking up to this point, Zhang Che immediately recalled the Scarlet Flame Drake into his spiritual sea. As expected, he discovered a mini black hole had appeared above the dark golden beast card that represented this fellow, quickly devouring the surrounding rainbow mist for nearly a whole minute before coming to a stop.
Zhang Che couldn’t hide the happiness in his eyes. He summoned the Scarlet Flame Drake again and had it unleash its skill. A column of scarlet flames shot out from the Scarlet Flame Drake’s mouth, extending twenty meters ahead, burning for three seconds before the flames were extinguished.
Zhang Che recalled the Scarlet Flame Drake into his spiritual sea again. As he thought, it started devouring the rainbow mist rapidly again, recovering all of its vital energy after a minute and came to a sudden stop.
“This means that in the future, the Scarlet Flame Drake could use this powerful skill about once a minute!”
It was like Zhang Che had just discovered a new continent. He quickly had the Gale Wolf King use its skill and sent it back into his spiritual sea, to see if he could reduce the cooldown time by absorbing the rainbow mist.
Alas, Zhang Che realized that he was thinking too much.
Beasts with an explicit cooldown timer in their skill description were unable to reduce the cooldown time via absorbing rainbow mist.
Facing such a situation, Zhang Che didn’t feel any disappointment, either.
He understood that this was probably a result of different rules. The rules stated a cooldown period after activating a skill before being able to use it again; not even a divine object like the rainbow crystal could change it. On the other hand, the Scarlet Flame Drake only needed to recover vital energy to use its skill, and could naturally make use of this method to gain stronger offensive powers.
-Is the Scarlet Flame Drake the only exception, or are there other beasts out there that can do this too?- Zhang Che wondered. Alas, he hadn’t seen many exotic beasts above gold-quality. He was unable to clarify what the differences were.
There was no merit in thinking about something he couldn’t find an answer to. Now, it was better for Zhang Che to find the Vampiric Demon Carpet and slay it, taking revenge for it snatching his food yesterday.
Zhang Che waved his hand, recalling all the subdued beasts to his spiritual sea. After that, he summoned the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon and mounted him. Riding a layer of fog, he flew to the valley where he had encountered the Vampiric Demon Carpet yesterday.
