Chapter 353 - Slumber. Return. (1/2)
The Purple Crystal Armor dispersed. The Unicorn flew out from Zhang Che’s brows, and immediately shot a milky white ray at its master, healing his injuries.
That hit he took earlier wasn’t followed up by the Earthen Rock Demon with the Lightning Rock Spear, but his injuries weren’t light, regardless.
If it wasn’t for his superhuman physique, he wouldn’t have made it through this time.
“How dangerous!” Zhang Che couldn’t help but sigh in fear after his injuries were thoroughly healed.
Originally, he was fully confident of taking down the Earthen Rock Demon. Looking back at it now, it was a little too risky…
Although the golden vortex displayed its might at the last moment, letting the two swords combine into one and unleash a devastating attack to directly kill the Earthen Rock Demon, the situation was beyond Zhang Che’s calculations.
In other words, if the golden vortex hadn’t suddenly erupted, other than running away with an injured body, there was nothing Zhang Che could do, not to mention losing the chance to slay the mid-tier epic-quality exotic beast.
“Looks like I have overestimated my overall strength a little…”
Shaking his head, Zhang Che walked towards where the epic-quality beast card had fallen.
At the same time, the scarlet and white swords descended from the sky in a spin, then hovered around Zhang Che in a circle slowly. At present, Zhang Che had lost his control over the swords again, and he could only let them remain in their original forms.
At his will, the two swords were recalled into his spiritual sea. While Zhang Che walked, he focused his mind into his spiritual sea. He saw the golden vortex had turned into a tiny origin, its aura extremely weak, not moving at all.
Zhang Che was shocked. -Is the golden vortex crippled?-
He immediately stopped, focusing on the golden vortex. He actually didn’t enter that profound state!
-This… is it really crippled?-
Zhang Che was truly at a loss for words. If that sudden eruption from before led to the crippling of the golden vortex, then he had truly suffered a huge loss!
Despite him successfully slaying the Earthen Rock Demon as he hoped to, the crucial thing was that the fellow was a six-star exotic beast! Zhang Che didn’t know when would he be able to finally make use of it!
Now that he had lost the golden vortex, and in turn, the ability to direct the swords, Zhang Che was significantly weakened. Although he could rely on his babies to gang up on mid-tier legend-quality exotic beasts, if he encountered any epic-quality beasts, he would have no way of obtaining victory!
Therefore, be it in the short-term or the long-term, it seemed like it wasn’t worth it.
Zhang Che’s complexion started to turn ugly.
He continued checking for a long time. In the end, he realized the golden vortex shouldn’t be crippled forever. However, due to it exhausting too much energy, it had fallen into a deep slumber.
“This sucks. I was originally planning on breaking through in this beast world to Tier Six as before I returned.”
Zhang Che felt like crying, but no tears would come out. Although the golden vortex was only sleeping, and he could be considered to have made it out on the winning side overall, for the next few days, his overall strength had decreased instead of increasing. That was the solid truth, and nothing could be done to change it.
“Forget it. You win some, you lose some! How can everything be perfect?”
Zhang Che could only sigh. Shaking his head, his resumed walking and picked up the beast card on the ground, taking a look at the Earthen Rock Demon’s attributes.
