Chapter 278 - The Streak of Light in the Sky (1/2)

Although Zhang Che didn’t go specially looking for external resources, he would have the Purple Crystal Tortoise meld into the ground every time he stopped to hunt those strange creatures to check around the rock strata nearby.

It would be great if any rare minerals were found. It’d be fine if nothing was discovered, either, since no time was lost.

Just like that, half the day passed. Zhang Che cleaned up the surrounding hundred kilometer radius and saw all kinds of those strange creatures. The creatures came in all shapes and sizes, truly leaving him speechless. All kinds of oddities could be found in the world, indeed.

——

The harvests for today were remarkable.

First, as an exceptional miner, the Purple Crystal Tortoise discovered quite a few minerals.

However, since that fellow wasn’t Zhang Che’s pet, it was unable to express exactly what it had discovered. Every time it would bring some samples back to let Zhang Che take a look first. He could only identify what the mineral was after examining it properly.

Even so, not much time was wasted.

During this half a day, a few different tiny piles of minerals were added to the Purple Crystal Tortoise’s unique dimension. Although there wasn’t much and their value was far from comparable to the stellar crystal, they were rare minerals with extensive uses regardless. They were still worth a pretty sum if converted to Alliance dollars.

“No wonder future father-in-law kept emphasizing that the secret plane has abundant resources…,” Zhang Che lamented.

Compared to the Purple Crystal Tortoise’s harvests, Zhang Che wasn’t doing too bad himself, either.

Sweeping through the hundred kilometer radius around him during this half a day, the number of strange creatures he had killed was close to four digits. If those creatures could bleed, he would truly be an executioner whose hands were covered in blood.

After killing so many strange creatures, the amount of mysterious energy Zhang Che absorbed had also reached a shocking degree. He discovered that his mind was now crystal clear. Be it his memory, or his thinking ability, they were much better than before.

Not only that, his five senses had similarly become at least twice as sharp.

Zhang Che had a premonition that if he continued developing this way, perhaps he might not even have to have his eyes open to sense what was going on around him. He would be able to ensure that he wouldn’t walk into a cable pole when walking on the streets, or fall into a ditch.

Through their continuous slaughtering, the Scarlet Flame Drake and the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s teamwork grew better and better. They could use their ice and fire elemental attacks on the same target without affecting the other’s effects. With that, their destructive powers directly more than doubled.

It was a pity that Zhang Che didn’t encounter any powerful strange creatures in this area. Otherwise, he could have experimented to see how heaven-defyingly strong this ice and fire combo was.

———-

Seeing the sky turning dark, Zhang Che ended today’s hunt and started looking for a place to settle down.

Well, as usual he would have the Purple Crystal Tortoise dig out a cave on a mountain. That method would best ensure his safety.

While waiting for the Purple Crystal Tortoise to dig out the cave, just as Zhang Che took out a piece of meat to have the Scarlet Flame Drake roast it, he suddenly noticed a streak of scarlet light streaking across the sky to his left in his peripheral vision.

“Hmm? What’s that!?”

Zhang Che immediately stopped what he was doing and looked carefully at the sky on his left. He saw that streak of scarlet light flying towards him from extremely far away like a comet, landing about a hundred kilometers away from him in the mountain range.

Zhang Che’s heart jumped. His gut feeling told him that the streak of scarlet light was definitely extraordinary!

He focused and deliberated for a while. Afterwards, he put everything back away into his bracelet spatial equipment and ordered the Purple Crystal Tortoise to come out, recalling it back into his spiritual sea. Then, he got onto the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s back together with the Scarlet Flame Drake and flew in the direction the scarlet streak of light had fallen.
