Chapter 411 - Once the Hunter, now the Prey (1/2)

When that terrifying green bird shot a glance in his direction, Zhang Che was so scared his heart almost stopped beating!

In the end, it went as he expected. The green bird Zhang Che guessed had already reached super divine-quality, paid no heed to him while he was in the form of a one-star bronze-quality little green frog, and directly returned to the tall mountains behind it.

Of course, it was also partly due to Zhang Che being quite far away from it. If the green frog was right in front of it, perhaps the bird might feel a little mischievous and shoot him to death with a ray of light?

It was akin to how a human wouldn’t purposely go stomp an ant a few meters away from them for no rhyme or reason, but if the ant was right in front of their feet, perhaps they just might step on it.

When the terrifying green bird had disappeared, Zhang Che waited for a while more to be on the safe side of things before he flopped his frog limbs ferociously, swimming in the direction the white sword had fallen in.

After the high-tier beastmaster’s death, his subdued beasts had naturally all turned into streaks of light and dissipated, joining him in the afterlife.

However, the white sword was different from subdued beasts. Naturally it was left behind!

After swimming ashore with much difficulty, Zhang Che still didn’t dare return to his human form. If he accidentally drew that terrifying green bird back here, he’d really die without a complete corpse.

Flopping his four long legs, and his headlight-like eyes wide, he began his search for the white sword in the dense woods.

However, after transforming into an exotic beast, his physical features were basically no different from those of a green frog, other than his soul being a human’s.

-Damn it, I can’t even use my spiritual strength. How do I search for it?- Zhang Che cursed inside. Seeing the dense vegetation all around him, he didn’t know where to start his search at.

He only knew the rough area where the white sword fell. Wanting to find its exact location would be very difficult.

It couldn’t possibly be that the white sword would know he was looking for it and come flying to him on its own, right?

When he thought of this, however, Zhang Che’s frog face couldn’t help but change.

He finally remembered that the white sword wasn’t an ordinary weapon, but a spiritual sword fragment.

After the green bird had killed the beastmaster, it was like the spiritual sword fragment was free from control and had regained its freedom. So… would it still remain here obediently?

-Oh, heavens, please don’t fly away…- Zhang Che smiled bitterly inside. He knew searching for it like this was useless.

—

He stopped on the spot and pondered for some time. Afterwards, he jumped around and back into a river on his own will, going along with the water flowing downstream.

After floating along the river for about a thousand meters, Zhang Che returned to his human form and jumped ashore. First, he used his spiritual senses to feel around towards the deep mountains apprehensively. He didn’t notice anything strange, and finally let out a long sigh of relief.

In the next moment, a scarlet light shot out from his brow. The scarlet sword flew around him and shot off in the direction where the white sword fell previously.

Although he didn’t know whether the white sword was still there, Zhang Che had his own method: release the golden vortex’s control over the scarlet sword and use it as bait to go fishing for the white sword.

They were both spiritual sword fragments. They should have some special connections between one another. Perhaps the scarlet sword might just find the white sword for him?

Just as he was thinking of that, Zhang Che saw the scarlet sword was quickly flying back to him, with a white sword emitting a sharp aura following closely behind.

“Hmm? It really worked!”

Zhang Che didn’t expect this method of his would produce results so quickly, and he immediately broke out into a wide smile.
