Chapter 529 - Terrifying Metal Storm [Two in One] (1/2)
Zhao Wu and the others thought Zhang Che had a card up his sleeve. Unbeknownst to them, he was still calculating at this moment
Although the Metal Tyrant was weak to fire-attributed attacks, especially innate fire, it was a seven-star high-tier exotic beast, after all. Comparatively, the Scarlet Flame Drake was only six-stars, mid-tier. There was a large realm difference between them in level, and the effectiveness of the Scarlet Flame Drake’s attacks against it would be heavily discounted. Whether it could be a match for that terrifying exotic beast was still unknown.
As for the elemental queen, Zhang Che had no way to know her level. However, she shouldn’t be much stronger than the Scarlet Flame Drake, or he wouldn’t have tamed her so easily back then.
What worried Zhang Che the most was that the Metal Tyrant’s physical defense was truly too tough, especially since it still had a skill that had obviously not been used yet.
A metal storm formed from pure metal elements; just thinking about it numbed the scalp. It wasn’t something easily defended against.
If they were careless and the Scarlet Flame Drake and the elemental queen lost their lives here, Zhang Che might directly die from heartache.
To fight, or not to fight? This was a very serious problem!
At this moment, given the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s speed Zhang Che could definitely shake off every exotic beast here if he committed to running away.
After all, since the start of their fight on Mt Fallen Star, he hadn’t discovered any exotic beasts with the ability to fly. The exotic beasts were all metal-attributed, after all, and naturally lacking in mobility. If they couldn’t fly, then they definitely wouldn’t be able to catch up to the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon.
If Zhang Che returned just like that without completing his mission, however, he would feel extremely unresigned.
This Metal Tyrant’s attributes were truly too amazing. Zhang Che wasn’t willing to give up just like that. Moreover, he had boasted in front of his father-in-law and promised to help get him an epic-quality beast card. Now that he had finally encountered the epic-quality exotic beast in question, if he returned without achieving anything, it would be too shameful.
“I’ll make a gamble here. First I have to think of a way to bait the Metal Tyrant into using its skill. As long as the Scarlet Flame Drake and elemental queen survive that, I’ll surely be able to kill it with all my babies ganging up on it.” Zhang Che grit his teeth, deciding to take a gamble.
If he was careful about it, his chance of making it was still very high.
Done thinking, Zhang Che gave an order to the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, ordering him to rush at the Metal Tyrant first. That fellow had an undying body of abyssal cold. It was impossible for the Metal Tyrant to kill the dragon with its skill.
Even if the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon suffered a heavy injury from the attack, Zhang Che could heal him with the help of the Unicorn. He wouldn’t have to worry about losing a powerful pet.
It was the first time the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon was facing such a strong foe. His will to battle surged. After receiving Zhang Che’s order, he immediately roared excitedly, and shot forth like a blue bolt like lightning towards the Metal Tyrant.
The elemental queen at Zhang Che’s side was feeling restless as well. She asked, “Master, why didn’t you let this servant go as well? That lump of metal is restrained by my flames; this servant will surely kill it!”
It wasn’t only the elemental queen acting that way. The Scarlet Flame Drake, as well as the other epic-quality subdued beasts, were also requesting that Zhang Che let them fight through their spiritual link.
Zhang Che shook his head, explaining, “You guys are looking down on the Metal Tyrant too much. That fellow’s skill attack is very scary. I think it’s impossible to defend against it unless you have divine-quality physical defense. It’s better to let the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon bait out its skill first, then you guys can rush at it and beat it up.”
“Si…” the elemental queen sucked in a breath of cold air after hearing Zhang Che’s explanation.
-That lump of metal actually has such a terrifying method? A skill that non-divine-quality can’t defend against. It’s indeed terrifying!-
Although the elemental queen could turn incorporeal, she didn’t dare guarantee she’d be immune to such a physical attack.
After thinking for a bit, she felt that she still had yet to experience many exciting things in life, and didn’t dare take such a huge risk. It was better to let her master’s Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon take this fight. That fellow had an undying body of abyssal cold, anyway. He wouldn’t die as long as he wasn’t hit by a divine-quality elemental attack.
While thinking that, the elemental queen saw Zhang Che had ordered the Purple Crystal Tortoise to transform into Purple Crystal Armor and envelope him.
It was a physical attack comparable to divine-quality. To be on the safer side of things, he decided to put on the Purple Crystal Armor. At the same time, to be even safer, he also retreated a hundred meters.
After all, he didn’t know if the Metal Tyrant’s skill was really at the level of a divine-quality attack. If that was true, even the Purple Crystal Armor might not keep him safe. It would be dangerous if he was careless and got struck by it!

Far away, Zhao Wu’s group were becoming more and more confused. From the looks of it, Zhang-shao seemed very wary.
Could it be that that epic-quality exotic beast was so strong that even Zhang-shao, who had multiple epic-quality subdued beasts, had to act so cautiously?
-Since that is the case, we’d better hide further away, to prevent any accidents. It’d be troublesome if Zhang-shao can’t look after us.-
Of course, they didn’t think of running away first. Under such circumstances, it was very unlikely for the four of them to break through the endless wave of exotic beasts and escape safely without Zhang Che’s help. They didn’t even want to think about that.
Their best course of action was to stay here obediently and wait for Zhang Che to settle that epic-quality exotic beast. Naturally it would become safer afterwards.

On the other side, just as Zhang Che put on the Purple Crystal Armor, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon broke through the exotic beast army’s encirclement and came face to face with the near-twenty-meter-tall Metal Tyrant covered all over in metal barbs.
Facing the same level, same quality of exotic beast, naturally the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon wasn’t afraid. He immediately breathed out a stream of darkfiend cold air, shrouding the huge Metal Tyrant.
The Metal Tyrant was extremely furious at the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s attack. Although it wasn’t afraid of the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, given its intelligence, it naturally knew that even if it killed this beast, its main enemy was that tiny little bug standing about two hundred meters away.
As long as it killed Zhang Che, all these powerful pets and subdued beasts would fall. But the problem was that the Metal Tyrant had no time to spare to go kill Zhang Che!
It was also very wary of the elemental queen and the Scarlet Flame Drake. Those two had fire-attributed attacks. Not only that, they were innate fire elemental attacks! As one of the strongest exotic beasts on Mt Fallen Star, naturally it would treasure its own life and not dare take risks casually.
