Chapter 279 - Another Form of Strange Creature? (1/2)

On Mercury, at the icy plains where the Hua Xia and the Er Sha region intersected…

Near the surroundings of the huge golden ball of light that was the gateway to the secret plane, beastmasters could still be seen passing through the obstacles and stepping into the gateway like moths attracted to a flame.

According to past experience, the gateway to the secret plane would remain for about two weeks after its first appearance. In other words, even if some beastmasters were still fighting with exotic beasts in the surrounding area of a thousand kilometers radius, they would still have two to three days’ time to enter the secret plane.

Of course, about four days had passed since the first dissolving of the defensive perimeter. Basically all the stronger beastmasters had already crossed the gateway, leaving only a tiny fraction behind.

Even the related departments from the government of various countries and armies were no longer paying as much attention as the first few days. Some of the satellites weren’t even watching here, and had switched targets to some other places.

——

In the secret world, Zhang Che was lying in his sleeping bag, his face radiating a satisfied smile.

In his dreams, he finally found the scarlet streak of light and successfully captured it.

To his surprise, it turned out that the scarlet streak of light was actually an ancient godly weapon. A single slash with it could split the heavens and earth!

Zhang Che was wild with joy. From then on, wielding that godly sword, he cleared the beast worlds one by one, slaying all the powerful exotic beasts within. The once-a-decade beast horde could no longer threaten the survival of humanity in Mercury.

Billions of people prostrated themselves to Zhang Che, worshipping him as a god.

Meanwhile, he explored deeper into the beast worlds resolutely, to find out why these mysterious worlds were descending upon Mercury.

It was only when the Scarlet Flame Drake barked out furiously that Zhang Che’s dreams suddenly collapsed, waking him up as he opened his eyes.

“You little doggie, what are you barking so loudly for? Don’t you know it’s not even mor-ack!”

Zhang Che finally had a good dream and was forcibly interrupted by this beast, annoying him. He quickly crawled up from his sleeping bag, reprimanding the Scarlet Flame Drake at his side.

Before he could finish his words, however, he blanked out on the spot and cried out in shock. A moment later, he directly Summoned out the Purple Crystal Tortoise and the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon with a wave of his hand.

“Shit, how did this thing get in here!?”

The Scarlet Flame Drake was running around in the cave, shooting flames out of its body from time to time, chasing after a scarlet streak of light that had appeared here without anyone realizing.

Wasn’t this thing the scarlet streak of light Zhang Che saw flying in the sky extremely far away, which fell in this area this evening?!

-Nice! I went searching for you for half a day to no avail, and here you are, showing up by yourself!-

Under the Scarlet Flame Drake’s chasing, the scarlet streak of light was running all over desperately, seemingly very afraid of the flames on the Scarlet Flame Drake’s body.

“Strange, since this thing is so scared of the Scarlet Flame Drake, why is it trying so hard to run around in here? Why didn’t it just escape?” Zhang Che wondered. With this streak of scarlet light’s speed, there was no way he could catch up to it if it really wanted to escape.

-Unless…- Zhang Che suddenly thought of a problem. Could it be that this thing was a mysterious treasure in the secret world that would randomly pick an owner after being born?

Zhang Che, who had read all kinds of Xianxia novels in his past life, immediately grew excited.

If that was true, he’d really struck gold this time!

But would an object that could pick its own master be simple?

Although… he didn’t know what exactly this streak of scarlet light was.
