Chapter 525 - Mind-Easing Pill (1/2)

Zhao Wu and the others felt their scalps tingling when they saw the densely packed spread of exotic beasts rushing at them.

Truthfully speaking, this was the first time they had ever seen such a dense pack of exotic beasts.

Despite knowing Zhang Che possessed multiple epic-quality combatants, and was most likely able to handle the wave of exotic beasts, they still didn’t feel confident about this situation. After all, who knew how strong those exotic beasts were?

What if there were a few epic-quality exotic beasts mixed into this tide of beasts, or if there were also a large number of legend-quality exotic beasts? Zhang Che wouldn’t be able to defend against that, no matter how strong he was!

“Zhang-shao…” Zhao Wu turned to look at Zhang Che, seemingly wanting to speak but was holding himself back.

Zhang Che knew what they were worried about. He smiled confidently, not minding their lack of confidence in him at all, and he said, “It’s fine. We’ll just push our way in.”

After a short pause, Zhang Che was worried that they were still worried, and he added, “Hmm, you guys just follow behind me and help me clean up those that slip past me.”

That sounded dominating enough, and immediately calmed Zhao Wu and the others.

“We’ll listen to Zhang-shao, then!” Zhao Wu nodded. The hesitation on his face disappeared without a trace. What took its place was a faint excitement.

Just thinking about it excited him! It was Zhao Wu’s first time facing off against such a dense pack of exotic beasts directly. If he could charge in and out, and kill a few on the way, he’d have earned the capital to boast to his peers when he returned to the base!

Even Zhang Che felt his heartbeat speeding up seeing the wave of exotic beast ahead drawing closer and closer.

Looking into the distance, all those exotic beasts were shining with hints of metal. They were most likely affected by the unique environment; every one of them was metal-attributed!

Since that was the case, letting the Scarlet Flame Drake and the elemental queen lead would be fine!

Done thinking, Zhang Che waved his hand. The elemental queen and the Scarlet Flame Drake played the role of vanguards, and took the lead in attacking the exotic beasts ahead. The other powerful subdued beasts and pets followed closely behind, each of them with a strong intent to fight, their bodies emitting a murderous aura.

The hands of every one of Zhang Che’s subdued beasts and pets were dyed red with blood after following him for so long. The number of exotic beasts they’d killed had simply reached an uncountable level. Not only that, they’d already gotten addicted to the feeling of slaughtering other beasts. They felt no fear at all when facing so many exotic beasts.

The whole group charged forward as one. Zhao Wu and the others kept Zhang Che’s instructions in mind, following closely behind him. None of them dared to rush to the front. It wouldn’t be a funny situation to be in. Given their mediocre strength, although they might not be scattered by the exotic beasts’ rush, it was extremely dangerous. They’d have to fight blindly if they were even slightly careless and got surrounded by the exotic beasts.

In any case, after witnessing Zhang Che’s strength, they realized they were only here to accompany the crown prince, so to speak. They only had to adhere strictly to their role.

Not only that, Zhao Wu and the others even thought of a point on a deeper level. That was, Huang Juyun was preparing for when he handed the reins over!

After all, Zhang Che was only Huang Juyun’s son-in-law, no matter how strong he was. According to the traditional views of the Chinese, he was still considered an outsider. To hand their family business to an outsider, let alone what others might say about it, there would be noise from some people from the Huang family.

To paint a clearer picture, Huang Juyun’s elder brother had two sons who both wished to take over the family business in the future. As such, if Huang Juyun wanted no trouble from the Huang family, what he needed to do now was slowly shift the clan’s strongest forces over to Zhang Che’s hands.

With that, even if there was noise from other members of the Huang family in the future, Zhang Che wouldn’t have to worry about any shenanigans from the two good-for-nothings if he had the support from their most elite forces.

While Zhao Wu and the others were letting their minds wander, the group finally clashed head on with the exotic beast army.

The first to make a move wasn’t either of the vanguards, the elemental queen nor the Scarlet Flame Drake.

When they were still a few hundred meters away, the Earthen Rock Demon suddenly raised its huge arm and hurled a rock spear forward.

The rock spear whistled through the air, instantly crossing hundreds of meters and violently struck a huge exotic beast that seemed to be made up of countless lumps of metal.

A loud explosion occurred. A big hole was punched through that exotic beast’s body, despite it emitting a metallic luster from head to toe.
