Chapter 403 - Overkill. Tonic (1/2)

Dijiang-hao’s attacking and defensive strength was unproven. Naturally Zhang Che wanted to test and see if he could kill those two exotic beasts.

In any case, even if it couldn’t take the exotic beasts down, Zhang Che could operate Dijiang-hao and have it fly into outer space. The two exotic beasts wouldn’t dare to give chase.

“Warning! Warning! Unknown lifeforms detected behind Dijiang-hao!” Dijiang-hao’s radar was still issuing warnings.

Zhang Che slapped down on the warning button, stopping it from disrupting his own judgment. He operated Dijiang-hao, slowing it by a tiny bit, as if he hadn’t realized the danger lurking behind him, and continued flying south.

The two exotic beasts were truly astonishingly fast. Even though Zhang Che had lowered Dijiang-hao’s speed, it was still fifteen thousand kilometers per hour, at over Mach 12 speed.

No ordinary exotic beasts, even divine-quality ones, would find it easy to achieve such shocking speeds, and yet those two beasts actually did it!

As the two exotic beasts gradually closed in, Zhang Che studied the surveillance camera facing behind, and he finally saw their true appearances.

Although they were still pretty far apart, the screen displayed the two’s slim silhouettes.

“Hmm? They actually have no wings?” Zhang Che was really shocked! Exotic beasts with no wings were actually able to fly at over Mach 10!

It didn’t make sense! Could it be a flood dragon species exotic beast?

It was unlikely. If they truly were of the flood dragon species, would they be doing something like ambushing? They would have attacked the nearby cities long ago, and raised a huge commotion!

The two exotic beasts continued closing in. To his surprise, Zhang Che realized a layer of dark light was enveloping their slim bodies. It was exactly this layer of dark light that allowed them to fly at such a frightening speed, and not make much noise.

That layer of dark light seemed to ignore air resistance. Zhang Che didn’t see any of the rippling around their flight path that was usually present after going supersonic.

“It looks like those two are exotic beasts with unique flight abilities…” Realizing that, Zhang Che was instead less worried than before.

Since they didn’t achieve such high speed with pure strength, it proved that the two exotic beasts weren’t divine-quality. Since they weren’t, Dijiang-hao’s armor could totally withstand their physical attacks.

As for energy attacks, Dijiang-hao wasn’t afraid, either.

The surface of Dijiang-hao was coated with a layer of the latest heat-resistant lamination. It could, to a certain degree, nullify the damage of energy attacks.

Moreover, Dijiang-hao wasn’t the type of traditional sky shuttle that could only be beaten on passively. It was outfitted with lasers. Their attack range definitely surpassed that of most exotic beasts’ energy attacks.

“Just a little closer… once they’re within three thousand meters, the lasers can display at least half their full power. At that time, it will be a huge threat to those two exotic beasts!”

Zhang Che watched as the two exotic beasts behind quickly drew closer, his eyes narrowed.

He didn’t believe those two fellows’ elemental attacks could reach three thousand meters. If that was the case, he could only operate Dijiang-hao at overclock capacity immediately and enter outer space as soon as possible to avoid the danger.

-It should be impossible. Ordinary epic-quality exotic beasts only have a maximum attack range of about a thousand meters, and half their strength would be lost.- Zhang Che thought, not daring to say it aloud.

If he accidentally jinxed it, the results wouldn’t be pretty.

The two silhouettes finally came within five thousand meters.

“This is…” At this moment, Zhang Che finally got a clear look at the rough appearances of those two exotic beasts, and was extremely surprised.

“Weren’t they the terrifying exotic beasts I saw in the sky when I was going to Tian Xing City?”

Zhang Che remembered the scene vividly. A few of these exotic beasts caused a formation of planes to explode into balls of flames.

At that time, that group of exotic beasts even tried to pursue the sky shuttle Zhang Che was in after destroying the planes, forcing the sky shuttle to immediately fly into outer space, and barely avoid that crisis.

He didn’t expect to encounter these exotic beasts again here!

“They’re definitely epic-quality!” Zhang Che composed himself, getting a rough idea on the two exotic beasts’ quality. “Tsk, tsk. A pity that exotic beasts on Mercury won’t drop beast cards after they’re killed. I’d be rich otherwise!”

Zhang Che felt like he was capable of killing those two exotic beasts, and was already lamenting about not getting beast cards from them.

Speaking of the exotic beasts’ corpses, Zhang Che couldn’t help but remember when he was battling in the northern icy plains a few days ago. He had killed many powerful exotic beasts there, too. Although the government had agreed to purchase those corpses from them for research purposes, Zhang Che still haven’t gotten his rewards.

No matter which world it was, the efficiency of certain departments were really the same…

Four thousand meters… three thousand meters!

They had finally come into his attack range!

Zhang Che immediately focused his attention and aimed the two lasers through the targeting radar, locking onto those two exotic beasts. However, his hand was frozen above the firing button, not pressing down.

Since he was sure the two exotic beasts wouldn’t be any threat to Dijiang-hao, Zhang Che naturally wanted to wait until they got a little closer before firing. That way, he had a higher confidence of taking them down in one shot.

The high efficiency laser truly exhausted too much energy. Every shot he took would deplete a kilogram of energy minerals. Having to take another shot would be a waste!
