Chapter 349 - Another Way to Attack (2/2)
However, how could it compare to the feeling it gave as a weapon?
As long as Zhang Che was being a little more stealthy, his enemies wouldn’t realize the danger it posed when he brought it out. He could then make use of the opportunity to shoot out lightning as an underhanded move or something. It couldn’t feel any better than that!

Zhang Che toyed with it indulgingly for some time before stashing the Horned Electric Python back into his spiritual sea.
With this unexpected gain, Zhang Che had another method of attacking. He was truly happy. He even wondered if there was any unique object in the ravine that drew the Horned Electric Python to use this place as its nest.
After all, under normal circumstances, exotic beasts at such a level wouldn’t stay at the same place for a long time, unless there was something that greatly benefited them.
Take that giant stone man, for example. It stayed in that mountain with almost no vegetation for such a long time. It was surely because the environment was greatly beneficial to its growth.
“It is totally worth looking around here…”
A glint shone in Zhang Che’s eyes. With a wave of his hand, every one of his babies were summoned, spreading out grandly in the ravine.
He only gave an extremely simple command to his babies: inform him immediately if they discover anything unusual.
Zhang Che wasn’t worried about them getting into any danger.
The only exotic beast here was slain by him. There wouldn’t be any other creatures here in the short run.
Of course, Zhang Che didn’t forget to have the frisky monkey activate its skill, scanning the surrounding five kilometers to see if there were any spiritual herbs nearby.
The results were disappointing, however. The Horned Electric Python didn’t choose to nest here because of a spiritual herb. The frisky monkey didn’t discover anything after using his skill.
“In that case, maybe it’s minerals?…”

Time slowly passed. Although his babies discovered quite a few strange places, after Zhang Che went to investigate every one of them, he realized nothing turned out to be useful. They merely looked unusual.
In the end, it was thanks to the Purple Crystal Tortoise’s unique talent that they found the Horned Electric Python’s cave. Zhang Che finally discovered something there.
Seeing the pieces of crystals with sparkles of purple flashing in it which the Purple Crystal Tortoise “retrieved” from within the mountain, Zhang Che looked through the memories left behind by his predecessor, but was unable to find any information that matched them.
In the end, he could only stow the pile of purple-colored crystals into the Purple Crystal Tortoise’s spatial pocket with some regrets, and wait until he returned to Hua Xia to ask his father-in-law to take a look at it. Perhaps he would recognize what the crystals were.
However, no matter what it was, Zhang Che knew that these crystals were likely to be needed to concoct cultivation fluid for the Horned Electric Python.

The sky had yet to turn fully dark, but it was unsuitable for Zhang Che to continue on his journey.
Having just acquired a new toy, Zhang Che was eager to get familiar with it. Thus, he rode the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon and flew around within a couple dozen kilometers. Whenever he saw any weak exotic beasts, a devious smile would appear on his face.
Going forward, glaring electric light would flash in the mountain range from time to time. Exotic beasts would cry out miserably following the flashes…
When the sky was about to turn fully dark, Zhang Che finally returned to the ravine, feeling satisfied. After enjoying a meal of roasted meat prepared by the Scarlet Flame Drake with the frisky monkey, Zhang Che went into the body of the mountain to rest.
After his earlier experiments, Zhang Che had a good grasp on the Horned Electric Python’s strength.
First, its normal attack. Exotic beasts below mid-tier were basically unable to withstand a single flash of lightning, and would directly turn into a streak of light from the shock.
For mid-tier exotic beasts, as their quality increased, it was unable to kill gold-quality beasts in one strike. However, they would be severely injured.
As for the more powerful Chain Lightning skill, even five-star dark gold-quality beasts were unable to resist it when struck. The weaker ones would even be killed directly.
Zhang Che was incredibly satisfied, and at the same time, thankful. Luckily he had put on the Purple Crystal Armor before he entered the ravine, or he would have been turned into ash by the Horned Electric Python immediately!
