A dark golden ray of light shot out from Zhang Che’s brow, forming a dark golden card with four hexagrams in his palm.
“Only its quality increased. It’s not enough…”

Although Zhang Che was a little surprised by the Vampiric Demon Carpet’s breakthrough to dark gold-quality, he didn’t regard it as anything important.
It was only a four-star dark gold-quality card. He was already the owner of a bunch of legend-quality babies; this fellow didn’t seem able to display much combat strength, even though it was dark gold-quality.
After looking through the Vampiric Demon Carpet’s new attributes, Zhang Che was even more sure of his judgement. There was barely any changes to its attributes.
The only praiseworthy part was that its sole weakness had changed from fire elemental attacks to innate fire elemental attacks. However, that was only limited to situations when its opponent’s level and quality was about the same as the Vampiric Demon Carpet.
If its opponent was a more powerful legend-quality exotic beast, the Vampiric Demon Carpet would probably find it tough to defend against their attacks.
As for its attacking attributes, the increase was nothing noteworthy.
The range of its Wind Travel skill had increased from twenty to fifty meters, and its cooldown time was reduced from five minutes to three minutes.
Although it seemed like a significant improvement, it was only an improvement in terms of quantity, and not quality.
Also, although this fellow’s attacks were peculiar, it was small. Facing larger exotic beasts, it had no way to wrap around them fully. How much power could it display then?
Done thinking, the dark golden card turned into a dark golden glow and flew to the ground as Zhang Che willed it, transforming into a large carpet.
Zhang Che’s eyes immediately widened in surprise.
“If I remember correctly, this fellow was originally only about a meter or two long, wasn’t it? Did it take some pills or something?”
Zhang Che couldn’t help but be surprised. The Vampiric Demon Carpet before his eyes was very different from before. Its body was about ten meters long when spread open, and the most narrow part was around eight meters across.
In other words, the surface area of that fellow had directly shot up from around two square meters to eighty square meters!
What did that signify?
Zhang Che realized it without having to think much about it.
The Vampiric Demon Carpet mainly relied on wrapping itself around its prey, leaving them unable to break free while it secreted a corrosive fluid from the suction cups on its abdomen, peeling the skin or scales of its prey off in an extremely short amount of time. Afterwards, it’d quickly suck its prey dry of blood, killing them.
It was due to this characteristic that the size of its body had a direct influence on its offensive strength.
Take a large beast like the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus, for example. If the Vampiric Demon Carpet was only as big as it was originally, so what if it had risen to legend-quality? It wouldn’t even be able to wrap itself around the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus’ leg!
Under such circumstances, even if the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus couldn’t tear the carpet into shreds with its frighteningly powerful jaws, he could definitely peel it off his body.
The same couldn’t be said now, however. With its surface area increased to about eighty square meters, even a large beast like the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus wouldn’t be able to break himself free from the Vampiric Demon Carpet easily if he found himself wrapped up by the carpet.
“Hmm, I seem to have underestimated you?”
Zhang Che looked at the Vampiric Demon Carpet, pondering for a short while with furrowed brow. In the end, he decided to examine its actual combat strength. He would find out whether he had estimated it or not very quickly.
Of course, since he wanted to test the Vampiric Demon Carpet’s current combat ability, he definitely had to choose those more powerful exotic beasts. It would be useless if they weren’t legend-quality, or high-tier dark gold-quality.
“Hopefully this fellow won’t die right away, even if it can’t win…”
