Chapter 198 - Poison Fire Twin-Headed Dragon (1/2)
“There’s danger!” Zhang Che’s first intuition was that danger was approaching.
Not only that, the incoming exotic beast was sure to be of a certain strength, since it was able to threaten all three of his capable subdued beasts. Perhaps it wasn’t something they could deal with.
As he thought of this, a tiny black dot suddenly appeared in the distant sky, rapidly closing in on Zhang Che’s direction.
“Hmm, since when did your abilities to sense danger became this strong?”
In the past, Zhang Che never realized his subdued beasts had such keen awareness, especially the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander. How did it realize the danger from the sky from such a long distance?
From the looks of it, that approaching black dot had probably emitted strong hostility in his direction, leading to his three subdued beasts sensing its ill intent one after another.
It was the only explanation.
“I’d better find a more defensive location.”
Zhang Che recalled the frisky monkey with a wave of his hand. Now that this fellow no longer had a bow to work with, his combat strength had dropped to abyssmal levels. If Zhang Che let him remain out here, he still had to spare some attention to take care of him. As such, he could only cage him up for now.
As for escaping, Zhang Che didn’t think he could run away successfully.
That thing was able to notice him from several kilometers away. Where could he run to?
It was better to find a location with better terrain and fight it on advantageous ground.
No place was a better arena than a valley between two mountains. You would be courting death if you chose to fight flying beasts in an open area.
Luckily, Zhang Che had only climbed a small part of this mountain. He had the choice to retreat to the valley below; he remembered that there were rocks and bushes aplenty down there. He could definitely make this trouble-finding fellow regret its time here.
With a slight push against the ground, Zhang Che directly leapt onto the back of the Scarlet Flame Drake. He held tightly onto the golden-scarlet mane behind its neck as the ferocious beast swiftly made its way down the mountain, as if it was riding the wind.
The Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander followed them closely.
As for the Purple Crystal Tortoise, this fellow had obviously inherited Zhang Che’s strong points. Its body suddenly sank, disappearing into the ground.
As Zhang Che retreated to the valley below with his subdued beasts, the black dot in the sky quickly grew bigger, and turned into a large shadow, swooping down into the valley.
Zhang Che turned around to look and half his soul nearly dissipated from the shock.
“Shit, it’s actually a twin-headed dragon! I didn’t even provoke it, find trouble with it, nor did I steal its eggs; why did it come for me?”
When this twin-headed dragon’s thin, membrane-like wings were spread open, it was about forty to fifty meters in length, intimidating enough to scare someone to death. It was definitely no pushover; how could Zhang Che not be frightened?
This fellow even had two brains; would it be weak?
This winged dragon had a savage appearance, like an enormous flying lizard. Its body was over ten meters long, the sharp claws at the ends of its limbs over a foot long. Its long, slim tail had a sharp hook at the end, giving it a strange look.
What was even more horrifying was that this fellow had two savage-looking heads splitting from its neck. The inside of its long, sharp mouths were filled with two rows of sharp teeth shaped like hooks.
All of this weren’t important. What was important was that Zhang Che noticed this fellow’s heads were different in color. The left head was red, while the right was black. It obviously meant something terrifying.
The Scarlet Flame Drake was obviously much slower than the flying twin-headed dragon.
In just a few breaths’ time, that terrifying creature had closed in on them. Four sharp claws suddenly came reaching towards Zhang Che.
“Oh shit, you’re looking down on me too much!”
Zhang Che was furious. The Scarlet Flame Drake under him bent its body, then jumped to the side and used a huge rock as cover, nimbly dodging the twin-headed dragon’s swoop attack. Afterwards, it stopped in place and raised its head, breathing a column of scarlet flames at the twin-headed dragon.
Of course, to maintain its sustained combat strength, Zhang Che didn’t order it to exhaust all its vital energy in one go. The column of flames lasted for barely a second.
