Chapter 217 - Actual Combat is the Only Standard to Evaluate Strength (1/2)

“There’s nothing to complaint about regarding his defense. So now, let’s see exactly how good Hanming’s combat strength is.” Zhang Che was naturally especially satisfied with the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s defense.

As long as this guy didn’t fight against exotic beasts like the Scarlet Flame Drake who possessed innate fire abilities, it was as good as having an immortal body. There was no need to worry about his safety at all.

He had the defense. However, if his attacking strength wasn’t up to par, it didn’t count for much, either.

If you wanted to have a good evaluation of a beast’s combat strength, what else was more effective than having an actual battle?

Wasn’t there a phrase that went something like “Actual combat is the only standard to evaluate strength”?

Of course, the Purple Crystal Tortoise still had to retrieve all the of bone spikes before they set off. After the previous battle and the test on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s defense, all hundred and eight bone spikes were shot out, scattered everywhere.

Fortunately the Purple Crystal Tortoise could assimilate into the rocks as it wished. Otherwise, Zhang Che really wouldn’t dare to use the bone spikes as weapons. How much would he lose if he lost even one of them?

After spending close to half an hour, the Purple Crystal Tortoise finally found all the scattered bone spikes. Afterwards, Zhang Che recalled the Purple Crystal Tortoise into his spiritual sea, along with the Scarlet Flame Drake and Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus.

“Let’s move out,” Zhang Che jumped onto the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s back, his hands holding onto the long mane growing out from the gaps between his scales, which was fascinating to touch.

Afterwards, Zhang Che reached out his hands and felt the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s crystal clear scales. They were cool and smooth to the touch; it truly felt like they were sculpted from a piece of ice.

“Tsk, tsk. I really don’t understand. A fine guy made of flesh and blood was actually turned into this. Can you still eat meat in the future?”

The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon flew quickly. Now, it no longer needed to ride on the clouds to fly, nor would it weaken after leaving water.

No matter if it was up in the sky, or into the earth, there were no restrictions!

After hearing what Zhang Che said, this dragon couldn’t help but turn his head around and blink his sapphire-like eyes, seemingly asking him to take a guess.

Zhang Che immediately palmed his face. -Looks like no matter what changes are made to your lifeform, your gluttonous nature will never change.

-Although… this guy’s entire body is already composed of energy. How can it digest the things he eats?

-How confusing…-

The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon flew past a few mountain peaks, but they didn’t find any suitable exotic beasts.

According to the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s current strength, he had to find a mid-tier dark gold-quality beast to fight at the very least.

However, even within this vast mountain range, mid-tier dark gold-quality or higher exotic beasts weren’t that easy to find, either. If his luck was good, perhaps he might encounter a few in a day. If not, perhaps he might not even find one in a few days.

Zhang Che felt that his current luck wasn’t very good.

He had already searched through the surrounding area within a few dozen kilometers radius, and yet he didn’t find a single one.

“I’m getting a little hungry. Let’s go hunt two fat and tender exotic beasts and cook them.”

With no spices available, Zhang Che became very picky when it came to the species of exotic beasts he hunted for food. Zhang Che couldn’t even bear to eat ordinary beasts with tough meat. They had to be small herbivorous or omnivorous beasts for Zhang Che to be able to swallow them.

-Hmm, I really miss the Purple-Eyed Fox to the west of the beast world behind Qian Wei City’s spatial gateway!-

Although that exotic beast was extremely small, the taste of its meat was the best Zhang Che ever had, for certain. Even without spices or salt, he could eat fifty kilograms of that meat in one go!
