Chapter 225 - You Must Be Kidding Me (1/2)
Zhang Che naturally wouldn’t let that exotic beast eat away his hope of leaving the beast world. The Purple Jade Condor flew forth at full speed. The wind assaulted Zhang Che head on, making it hard for him to even breathe.
After close to a minute, they covered the distance of several kilometers. The Purple Jade Condor was already in the skies above the mountain.
“Hmm? Why are there two foreign girls… no, there’s three!” What surprised Zhang Che was that the group helping each other forward on the mountain was actually composed of four women, three of which were freaking Caucasians!
After that, he overheard the conversation between them. They were speaking some foreign language, which he couldn’t understand half of even if he tried.
More accurately speaking, if it wasn’t for the memories left behind by his predecessors, Zhang Che wouldn’t understand any of it. Speaking of which, his previous self worked really hard. In order to better research the minerals from the beast world, a student with poor grades like him actually learned English to a decent level, all for the sake of understanding the mountains of information in English.
“Strange… are these three Caucasian girls from some super rich families from the Ou Lu or Bei Mei regions, and came all this way to Hua Xia region to play?”¹ Zhang Che felt suspicious. Since the arrival of the new age over three decades ago, travels between the continents were almost severed unless they took the Sky Shuttle airplanes, which were able to shake off the powerful flying beasts living in the vast, uninhabited lands.
Even though the Sky Shuttle airplane services were mature and could be used to transport passengers between countries, the expensive fare was definitely not something ordinary citizens could afford.
As for the possibility of these three women being the descendents of foreigners stranded in the Hua Xia region and unable to return to their home country, Zhang Che thought it unlikely.
If that was the case, they should be conversing in Mandarin with that Hua Xia woman.
As such, Zhang Che guessed that the three women were rich ladies from other regions who specially came to Hua Xia for vacation.
However, they even came deep into the beast world, and from the looks of it, didn’t even bring a bodyguard with them. It seemed like their brains were a little flooded with water.
Just as Zhang Che was feeling doubtful of the situation, the four women saw him on the Purple Jade Condor’s back. Each of them revealed looks of surprise on their faces. They waved at him, yelling, “Please! Help! Help!”
Zhang Che understood this sentence.
At this moment, the lion-like large exotic beast with tiny scales on its body had caught up to them, less than a hundred meters between it and its prey.
However, it suddenly stopped in place warily. It looked up at the approaching Purple Jade Condor, thinking that it was here to snatch its prey.
It let out a furious roar, warning the Purple Jade Condor. The mane on the scaly lion’s neck was standing on end.

While he was looking through the Copper-Scaled Lion’s attributes, that fellow suddenly let out a loud roar, nearly causing Zhang Che to fall off the Purple Jade Condor’s back from fright.
“Shit, is this the legendary Lion’s Roar!?”² Zhang Che was a little enraged. He directly jumped off the Purple Jade Condor’s back. During his descent, a huge two-meter-long sword suddenly appeared in his hand.
Zhang Che couldn’t be bothered to let the Purple Jade Condor take care of a mere three-star gold-quality exotic beast. He alone was enough!
However, Zhang Che’s actions were no different from looking for death in the eyes of the four women. He clearly had a powerful subdued beast, and yet he chose not to use it and had to go himself!
