Chapter 272 - Enter the Gateway (1/2)
Zhang Che was in a beautiful mood after setting up that group of five.
The only pity was that the white snake was too powerful, leaving him with no way to pick up scraps, putting his “Fisherman Zhang” nickname to shame.
However, Zhang Che didn’t feel much regret over this.
When he grew stronger, did he have to worry about not having epic-quality subdued beasts and pets?
Let alone others, there was the giant stone man in the Bei Mei region’s beast world behind the San Diego spatial gateway carved deep into his memory. He would surely make a trip there when an opportunity arose in the future.
Leaving that giant stone man’s offensive strength aside, just the defensive effects the gravity field False Domain provided were extraordinary.
Zhang Che estimated that the giant stone man was still a mid-tier exotic beast. If it could advance into high-tier, or its quality could increase another level, the might of that gravity field would definitely be overpowered. Anyone who entered it would surely find themselves weakened by at least half.
Not only that, they might not even have to lift a finger against weaker enemies. That terrifying gravity effect would just destroy their bodies.
“Stop daydreaming and start thinking about how to reach the gateway to the secret plane,” Zhang Che smiled self-mockingly. He shook his head, clearing his mind of useless thoughts. He flew on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, steering away from the white snake, heading deeper into the area.
The white snake was a high-tier epic-quality exotic beast. There shouldn’t be any other such terrifyingly powerful creatures within two or three hundred kilometers, so Zhang Che could make use of this chance to hurry on his way.
It would be a few days later before he arrived at the gateway to the secret realm if he only covered two to three hundred kilometers of ground per day. It was fine if he was slower than others by a step, but it would be too much of a disadvantage if he was slower by several steps!
As Zhang Che had anticipated, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon flew about four hundred kilometers close to the ground before he encountered a seven-star gold-quality exotic beast.
Although a seven-star gold-quality exotic beast was strong, it could do nothing but get beaten up by Zhang Che’s babies, laying on the ground on the verge of death just a few minutes later.
Since he wasn’t in the beast world, and was unable to obtain beast cards by killing the exotic beasts, Zhang Che tried his best to leave such high-end beasts alive, harboring hopes of taming them as his pets.
However, this seven-star gold-quality exotic beast was incredibly stubborn. No matter what methods Zhang Che used, tough or otherwise, it didn’t budge in the slightest. In the end, Zhang Che directly had the rainbow crystal release a rainbow talismanic rune to forcibly tame it after running out of patience.
Alas, just as the rainbow talismanic rune was about to engrave itself deep into the exotic beast’s soul, its life force was extinguished, leaving only a corpse behind.
“My guess turned out right after all. If an exotic beast is unwilling, there’s no way to tame it as a pet!” Zhang Che sighed. He could only wave his hand, letting the Purple Crystal Tortoise store this seven-star gold-quality exotic beast’s ruined corpse into its spatial pocket.
Although this fellow’s body was beaten to a pulp by his babies, it was still a seven-star gold-quality exotic beast, after all. The remaining parts could still be sold for a high price.
Zhang Che would never shy away from money!
Afterwards, Zhang Che became cautious again. Once something seemed amiss ahead, he would have the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon change direction immediately. He wouldn’t stay for a second longer, nor would he harbor a complacent attitude about trying to kill those exotic beasts that looked too strong for him at a glance.
The day passed very quickly.
———
That evening, Zhang Che estimated that he was only about three hundred kilometers away from the gateway to the secret plane.
In that case, he should be able to break through the inner area and enter the secret plane by tomorrow evening if nothing went wrong.
“I wonder what the secret world would look like this time? Hopefully it’s not too dangerous, or it’ll be hard to say what the end result will be like.”
Zhang Che had imagined on many occasions what the past secret planes were like inside. What were the similarities and differences between each of them?
