Chapter 264 - News of a Secret World (2/2)

The lowly nature of humanity was carved deep in their genetics. Even if all of entire humanity faced the threat of extinction, it was impossible for them to truly unite as one.

Zhang Che knew very well about that through his own experiences in life. As for what exactly it was, he didn’t dare to think about it due to the threat from the gods above.

After hearing Huang Juyun’s account, Zhang Che immediately fell silent.

Danger was certain, and not just inside the secret plane. That was beyond his understanding.

Just the fact that he had to slaughter his way through that thousand kilometer area was not a simple matter.

It had to be mentioned that the secret plane’s gateway always appeared in places with an extremely dense population of exotic beasts. Silver and gold quality beasts were everywhere, dark gold and legend quality beasts abundant, epic quality beasts quietly waiting for your arrival, and don’t even be surprised if you ran into a divine-quality beast…

Even though Zhang Che was very confident of his current strength, he didn’t dare guarantee that he could safely get through that area, and arrive at the gateway to the secret plane.

Going on this trip was sure to be fraught with danger!

But not going on this trip was something Zhang Che was reluctant to do. After experiencing being pulled into the black door by that mysterious force, he already had a feeling that perhaps there might be some grave danger silently drawing closer to Mercury.

Under such circumstances, how would he be able to take care of himself when the situation took a turn for the worse, if he didn’t strive to improve himself now?

If he didn’t dare to take this risk today, or that risk tomorrow, he would slowly fall behind. It would be impossible for him to become someone truly strong.

“How is it, what’s your decision?” Huang Juyun asked softly, seeing Zhang Che keeping quiet for so long, his face uncertain.

Zhang Che didn’t answer directly. Instead, he replied with a question of his own, “Uncle Huang, have you entered the secret plane?”

Huang Juyun seemed to have expected this question. He smiled and nodded, “I did once. But the environment in the secret plane differs greatly every time, so I won’t be talking in detail about what is in there, to save you from having misconceptions. You just have to remember that it is very dangerous in there, but opportunities are similarly aplenty.”

Zhang Che slowly nodded, then fell silent for a moment again. His eyes shone with a determined gaze, and he finally answered firmly, “Alright, I’ll go, then!”

Huang Juyun finally revealed a smile as he nodded and said, “Good! What it means to be someone truly strong is to be willing to work hard and be unafraid of dangers. Otherwise, how are you any different from a flower in a greenhouse?

“Go back and get ready. See what is there that you need; I’ll prepare it for you. You can set off for the icy plains in the north tomorrow morning. The gateway to the secret plane appeared at the vast icy plains near the borders between our Hua Xia region and the Sha Er region.”

Zhang Che thought for a moment. His high-end combat forces were comprised of the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus, Purple Crystal Tortoise, Scarlet Flame Drake, Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword, and the Unicorn. His other subdued beasts and pets could also display some combat ability; he shouldn’t need anything else, beast card-wise.

“Uncle Huang, I don’t need any new subdued beasts. There’s no time for me to get used to them. But I hope that you can prepare a spatial-type beast card equipment for me, or I might starve to death in the secret plane.”

Huang Juyun blanked out for a moment before bursting out into laughter, “Hahahaha, no problem! You’re a Tier Five beastmaster now, and I happen to have a five-star spatial-type beast card. I’ll prepare everything you will need for you. You just need to be ready to set off tomorrow.”

Zhang Che nodded heavily, “Thank you so much, Uncle Huang!”

“Mhm. Go on, get back and keep your mother company. Who knows how long it’ll be before you return from your trip to the secret plane. It’s better for you to be with her now,” Huang Juyun smiled and waved off Zhang Che, sending him home to settle his affairs.
