Chapter 299 - A Puzzling Secret Plane (1/2)

Zhang Che didn’t know whether he had arrived at another dimension in the secret plane, or he had triggered some forbidden mechanism and was transferred to the other end of the same secret plane.

Since he couldn’t clarify any of that, he decided to not think about it. Shaking his head, he directed the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon to descend to the sea below.

The sea seemed to be without end, with big and small islands scattered all over. Not only that, Zhang Che could see many huge birds flying freely over the sea.

The dimension seemed to finally be something more… normal?

As the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon quickly descended, Zhang Che saw a big bird with a two-meter-plus wingspan streaking across the surface of the sea like lightning. When it rose back up in the air, its talons were holding onto a fish about half a meter long.

The big fish, covered in azure scales all over, kept struggling. Blood kept dripping from the area the big bird’s talons pierced through.

No black gale swept down from the sky!

This seemed to prove that this place was no longer the secret plane he was in before?

If that was true, there was a problem.

If this place wasn’t the secret plane, then could he return where he came from?

Zhang Che’s mood immediately sank.

Even though he didn’t have to worry about food in here, there was no meaning in living here alone.

What about his mother, or Miss Tienan, back on Mercury?

“No, no, no, there should be a way!”

Zhang Che’s brain spun at maximum capacity. In the end, he thought of the layer of light that sucked him in earlier.

It would be impossible to return by flying upwards.

In that case, he could try digging to the end of the earth in this dimension, to see if there was something similar to that membrane.

As long as it existed, he could keep digging, going through layer by layer. He didn’t believe he couldn’t get out!

Even if this was the eighteen levels of Hell, Zhang Che believed that as long as he had the Purple Crystal Tortoise, he could dig himself out of this place!

The surface of the sea was getting closer and closer, and the scattered islands gradually became clearer, too.

Those islands were separated into two extremes. One was an overabundance of vegetation, dense and rich everywhere; the other was bald as an eagle, with only craggy rocks. The two formed an incredibly stark contrast when compared with one another.

Naturally Zhang Che wouldn’t go to those bald islands. As such, he directed the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon to fly towards one of the larger islands with lush vegetation.

A faint fishy smell was on the wind sweeping over the waves below. This was the smell of the sea!

If it wasn’t for the fact that he didn’t know whether it was safe in the sea, Zhang Che really wanted to take a good bath in it, despite being a non-swimmer.

As they quickly approached the big island ahead, a human silhouette suddenly appeared in the forest.

-There are actually other beastmasters here!?- Zhang Che’s eyebrow rose slightly, instantly feeling calmer.

If he could find other beastmasters here, it meant that he was still in the secret plane. It wouldn’t be much of a deal even if it wasn’t the same dimension as before; he could return to Mercury in the end, anyway.

What he worried the most about was being the only one in this dimension. That would be really unsettling.

Just as he was celebrating inside, he saw that beastmaster at the edge of the island in the distance suddenly waving at him, their arms pushing upwards.

-What does that mean?- Zhang Che was confused. Even if they were welcoming him, it shouldn’t be such a gesture, right?

While he was confused, a huge wave suddenly rose from the surface of the sea. A gigantic sea beast’s savage head broke out of the water, opened its ferocious mouth and sucked at the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon above.
