Chapter 562 - Perilous Situation [Two in One] (1/2)
Edited by Aelryinth
At Bei Du…
Huang Juyun couldn’t help but start worrying for Zhang Che’s safety again.
It had already been about three hours since that brat went chasing after He Luotu. It was now evening, and soon the sky would turn dark, yet there was still no news from him.
He didn’t dare send a message to Zhang Che asking about his situation. It would be a tragedy if Zhang Che was at the crucial moment of their fight and was distracted by his message, affecting the results of the battle.
As such, he could only wait helplessly after reporting the raid on the Freemason headquarters to the higher-ups.
“But, that kid shouldn’t be in any danger, right? He’s overcome so many difficulties. This is only the head figure of a mere cult…”
At that thought, however, Huang Juyun didn’t dare to think any further.
Huang Juyun knew he was only subconsciously deceiving himself. What head figure of a mere cult? He Luotu was clearly a mysterious expert of the demon realm who had infiltrated their world. Heavens knew what kind of powerful methods he had up his sleeves, waiting for Zhang Che to send himself right to his doorstep?
Putting all else aside, Huang Juyun still felt some lingering fear from the huge explosion he had experienced this afternoon. He was very wary of their demonic methods.
If he hadn’t let his Metal Tyrant go up and block the shockwave from the huge explosion decisively, who knew how many casualties his forces would have sustained?
Even so, his Metal Tyrant had yet to recover from the injuries. It was in a severely injured state even now. At present, the card of that powerful epic-quality subdued beast was submerged in a recovery fluid, healing its injuries. According to the his staff, the powerful subdued beast would only fully recover tomorrow.
The cause of all that was just one of the demonic expert’s tricks. He Luotu had wreaked such destruction just by detonating his subordinates and their subdued beasts. Could Zhang Che really deal with him safely if he had some other hidden aces?
Huang Juyun had no idea. As a result, his expression was gloomy. After the destruction of the Freemason headquarters, he returned to Bei Du to give a report on the mission and was praised by the top brass, but his mood wasn’t bright at all.
Suddenly, he felt a vibration from his personal terminal.
Huang Juyun’s expression changed slightly. A hint of joy flashed in his eyes. He hurriedly opened the device. It was indeed a message from Zhang Che!
“Great! I knew that kid was hiding deep. Given his strength, how could he be defeated by a demon spy?!”
Huang Juyun finally relaxed completely after he read the short and simple message from Zhang Che. The brat said that he had gotten rid of He Luotu and was on his way back now. He would arrive at Bei Du in a few hours.
Much more excited, Huang Juyun immediately turned around and left his office to find his superiors and report this matter.
As the biggest contributor to destroying the Freemason headquarters, Huang Juyun wasn’t the only one worrying about Zhang Che. Both the military and government were also paying attention to this.
After all, Zhang Che wasn’t an ordinary beastmaster. Putting aside the fact that he became a powerful high-tier beastmaster before the age of twenty, and there being a high chance for him to become a divine-tier beastmaster in the future, the contributions he had made to Hua Xia thus far weren’t something ordinary beastmasters could compare to.
Previously, he had brought back research information regarding exotic beast genetic evolution fluid from the Bei Mei region, allowing Hua Xia to rise to the top of the field immediately. After absorbing the Bei Mei region’s study results, Hua Xia’s results in this area became much better than any other country.
This time, Zhang Che had even discovered the location of the largest cult’s headquarters, and found out He Luotu was actually a demonic being. His achievements weren’t small at all.
It was absolutely impossible for such a young talent to not draw the attention of the top brass. As such, Huang Juyun immediately went to report the news of Zhang Che’s safe return upon learning about it.
——
At the same time, in the skies ten thousand kilometers away from Bei Du, a deep blue figure was streaking across the skies like a bolt of lightning. Its speed was faster than even the military’s most advanced fighter jets, almost comparable with the sky shuttles from two generations ago.
This was the first time Zhang Che had flown such a long distance on his pet across Mercury. It was a rather amazing experience.
Of course, no matter how great the experience flying on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon was, it was much inferior to sky shuttles.
Regrettably, Huang Juyun had flown Zhang Che’s Dijiang-hao back to Bei Du, and Zhang Che thought that taking a commercial sky shuttle was troublesome, not to mention it being slow. Naturally he chose to fly on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon all the way back to Bei Du.
Fortunately, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s strength was incomparable to the past after he advanced to eight-star epic-quality. His flight speed exceeded the imagination of ordinary people. Although they were currently ten thousand kilometers away from Bei Du, they wouldn’t need very long before Zhang Che returned safely.
As for whether he would encounter some powerful exotic beast and end up finding himself in a dangerous situation… Zhang Che wasn’t worried at all.
He was in Hua Xia’s territory. If an exotic beast so powerful that he couldn’t handle really appeared, Hua Xia would have fallen into chaos long ago.
——
The road back was smooth. By the time Zhang Che returned to Bei Du’s borders, it was already about nine in the evening.
However, he didn’t go home directly, nor did he go to the Huang family’s ancestral house. Instead, he flew on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon directly to the headquarters of the military.
Although the authorities knew Zhang Che was returning by flying on his aerial mount in advance, when the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon appeared in the skies, Zhang Che still sensed several powerful auras in the dark, ready to move at any moment. He’d be on the receiving end of a fierce assault if he dared to make any strange movements!
-As expected of Hua Xia’s military headquarters. Although the security here dioesn’t seem like much, there are really quite a number of elites hiding in the dark. I actually sensed multiple auras belonging to epic-quality subdued beasts! Every one of them aren’t weak, and two of the auras are even stronger than Hanming’s! They should be nine-star epic-quality subdued beasts…-
Nine-star epic-quality subdued beasts were without a doubt the strongest creatures aside from divine-quality subdued beasts.
With so many powerful subdued beasts surrounding this area, the headquarters could be said to be impenetrable. Whoever dared to cause trouble here would only end up losing their lives!
Even though Zhang Che was confident of his strength, with an army of epic-quality babies at his beck and call, there didn’t seem to be a chance at victory if he faced all those elites hiding in the dark.
It was only after Zhang Che landed and recalled the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon that those powerful auras observing him disappeared.
