Chapter 153 - Bountiful Return (2/2)
Zhang Che looked in that direction, and saw that the rocky area was like a small pool of boiling lava.
The Liquifying Scarlet Flames skill could instantly melt steel. Turning rocks into lava truly was no problem at all.
Speaking of which, it was strange that every time the Scarlet Flame Drake used its skill, Zhang Che wouldn’t feel any change in temperature, despite being next to it. Conversely, the heat wave coming from the tiny pool of lava made Zhang Che feel a little uncomfortable.
“How strange!” Zhang Che lamented in confusion. He creased his brow; the Vampiric Demon Carpet card was in that pool of lava right now. It wasn’t easy to get out. The Scarlet Flame Drake was too big to squeeze into the crevice.
Zhang Che knew that the crevice wouldn’t be able to stop the Scarlet Flame Drake. Its sharp claws was sure to be able to expand the opening, but Zhang Che didn’t want to go through that much trouble.
At his command, the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon at his side let out a few mouthfuls of arctic breath at the crevasse, cooling the lava back into rock.
After that, the Rock Tortoise’s huge body melded into the cliffs like it was entering water. A few breaths of time later, it reappeared from the cliff and spat out a golden card with four hexagrams in front of Zhang Che.
Zhang Che beamed with joy. With this, he didn’t need to dig about in the cave laboriously after returning to the base. All he needed to do was to give an order to the Rock Tortoise to extract all the purple-gold crystals without damaging the wall!
As his excitement died down, Zhang Che looked at the Vampiric Demon Carpet card in his hand.

“It’s an Original Combat Body-type, like I expected. This fellow’s offensive method is peculiar, and is great at camouflaging itself. It’s definitely the top pick for ambushing exotic beasts and other humans!” Zhang Che sighed. He couldn’t help feeling sad for the potential enemies that might show up in the future.
The more complicated an environment was, the easier it was for the Vampiric Demon Carpet to camouflage itself. Others didn’t have data eyes like Zhang Che did. Even if they saw the disguised Vampiric Demon Carpet, they would only treat it as a unique plant, and not be too wary.
At that time, the Vampiric Demon Carpet only had to activate its skill and close the distance, coiling itself around the enemy. They’d fall for it, no matter how powerful they were!

This trip had finally come to an end. Zhang Che, feeling contented, let the frisky monkey and Cold Abyss Flood Dragon go hunt a few exotic beasts and had a roasting party by the stream in this valley. The master and pets had a satisfying meal and returned to the base.
After returning to the base, the Rock Tortoise melded into the rocks at Zhang Che’s orders. It reappeared over an hour later, spitting out a huge pile of black shining crystals in front of Zhang Che.
Zhang Che made a rough estimation; they would take up about a dozen cubic meters of space! The density of purple-gold crystal was about half that of ordinary steel. So, how much would a dozen cubic meters of it weigh?
After a rough mental calculation, Zhang Che couldn’t help sucking in a cold breath of air. It was truly an astronomical amount!
——
The next day, Zhang Che woke up from his dreams smiling. He left the base after a simple clean up, riding the Purple Jade Condor back to the safety zone.
On this trip to the beast world, Zhang Che had a truly bountiful harvest!
