Chapter 569 - Unique Treasure of the Heavens and Earth [Two in One] (1/2)

“That skill is really incredible!”

Zhang Che’s eyes widened involuntarily as he watched the Rainbow Vinewood Deer disappear before him, despite knowing it had such a skill beforehand.

It wasn’t like Zhang Che hadn’t seen other exotic beasts using their skills to escape, but they had always left a trace for him to follow.

The Rainbow Vinewood Deer was different, however. It actually vanished without any trace by relying on the nearby plants.

Luckily he had prepared for this long ago, and had the Purple Jade Condor watching from the skies. Otherwise, this exotic beast would have escaped!

Soon, the Purple Jade Condor above sent him information.

Zhang Che slapped the back of the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon below him, then pointed northeast and shouted, “Quickly, don’t let that fellow escape!”

At the same time, Zhang Che summoned out the Earthen Rock Demon and the Demonic Energy Large Boar with a wave of his hand.

Although the two subdued beasts’ fighting abilities were limited, there wouldn’t be a problem using them to protect his spiritual herb. Zhang Che didn’t believe an extremely powerful exotic beast would find its way here and snatch his reward in a short time.

In the next moment, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon flew off in the direction Zhang Che had pointed in.

The Rainbow Vinewood Deer could forget about escaping from Zhang Che’s pursuit today, unless it was faster than the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon! As a non-flying exotic beast, although the Rainbow Vinewood Deer could take flight temporarily, its speed could definitely not match up to Hanming!

——

“Zhang Che, where are you going!?”

On the hill hundreds of meters away, Huang Tielan didn’t understand what had happened when she suddenly saw Zhang Che flying off on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon and couldn’t help but grew anxious. She hurriedly yelled out and took off on the Dark Unicorn at the same time, chasing after him.

“I’m going to chase after that exotic beast, Tielan! You go dig out that spiritual herb first; I’ll come back soon!” Zhang Che shouted in reply without turning his head back, chasing off in the Rainbow Vinewood Deer’s direction.

-What? The exotic beast escaped? Why didn’t I see anything?- Huang Tielan was confused. However, she knew that there were many things she didn’t understand given her experience. Since Zhang Che had said so, then that exotic beast must have made its escape already.

At present, the spiritual herb was more important. Zhang Che was strong; he probably wouldn’t have any problems.

Thinking of things that way, she relaxed. She guided the Dark Unicorn to fly in the direction of the spiritual herb.

——

Ten kilometers away, the Rainbow Vinewood Deer appeared in the forest, in very bad shape. Without stopping to think, it chose a direction to flee.

Its enemy from earlier was truly too strong. It knew it had zero chance of winning. Although it had escaped ten kilometers away in an instant, heavens knew if that enemy would come chasing after it?

As such, it immediately raced off, choosing to run to places where vegetation was richer.

If ordinary exotic beasts were to choose such places to escape to, they were simply looking for death. Thick forests would definitely slow their escape considerably.

The Rainbow Vinewood Deer was different, however. It was a wood-attributed exotic beast, and was born with the ability to control plants. Not only would it not be slow when fleeing through those thick areas, on the contrary, it would actually be a little faster than escaping in open spaces!

Also, the vegetation could conceal its tracks very well, leaving its enemies unable to find it.

Alas, the Rainbow Vinewood Deer did not expect that there was a pair of sharp eyes in the skies watching it closely at that moment, even if it was beaten to death. Despite moving through the forest, producing minimal commotion, it was still under observation by the Purple Jade Condor.

Just like that, under the Purple Jade Condor’s constant guidance, Zhang Che quickly closed the distance between him and the Rainbow Vinewood Deer on Hanming.

It was only a minute before the Rainbow Vinewood Deer sensed that formidable enemy’s aura behind it, immediately throwing it into a panic. Its control over the nearby plants became weaker all of a sudden, producing a huge commotion. Tree branches kept swaying about.

Zhang Che took notice of the track of swaying tree branches and couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “Hahahaha, it actually ran here! I’ll see where you can run to!”

Zhang Che was really glad that he had the inspiration to let the Purple Jade Condor watch from the skies beforehand. Otherwise, this epic-quality exotic beast really might have escaped from him!

Although that fellow wasn’t very strong, it was an epic-quality exotic beast, after all. They were rare creatures that he could only hope to bump into. Naturally Zhang Che wasn’t willing to let it go just like that!

What happened after was nothing to write home about. Although the Rainbow Vinewood Deer tried its best to escape, it was helpless about the situation. After struggling for some time, it was finally cut across the neck by Zhang Che with the scarlet and white sword, decapitating it and instantly turning it into a rainbow light.

Originally, Zhang Che wanted to tame it as a pet. However, although the Rainbow Vinewood Deer seemed harmless, it was unusually stubborn. It wouldn’t give in to threats or promises.

In the end, Zhang Che was helpless about it and could only kill it, receiving a rainbow-colored epic-quality beast card.

“Hahahaha, not bad, not bad! My gains this time are really more than expected. Come, let’s return!”

Although Zhang Che claimed he didn’t view the Rainbow Vinewood Deer with high regard, he was very happy inside and laughed out loud for a while. When he was done, he recalled the Purple Jade Condor and flew back in the direction they came from on Hanming.

He wanted to hurry back and see what kind of spiritual herb it was, if an epic-quality exotic beast was actually guarding it.

It went without saying that it was definitely nothing ordinary. How could something that could benefit epic-quality exotic beasts be common?

——

After a short while, Zhang Che returned to the peak from before.

Sensing Zhang Che’s return, Huang Tielan immediately cried out excitedly from the woods below, “You’re back, Zhang Xiaoche. Come take a look. This spiritual herb is about to mature!”

-Hmm? She actually didn’t dig out the spiritual herb?- Zhang Che was a little taken aback. But it made sense since she said the spiritual herb was about to mature.

In any case, the two had planned to stay in the beast world for a long time. Delaying for a couple of days wouldn’t hurt.

However, Zhang Che wouldn’t hesitate to dig it out if the spiritual herb needed too long to mature. In any case, there were large amounts of spiritual crystals buried under the herbal field. He didn’t have to worry that the spiritual herb would wither.

“I want to see exactly what kind of spiritual herb this is, that an epic-quality exotic beast guard it,” Zhang Che laughed. He ordered the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon to dive down, then jumped off Hanming’s back and walked up to Huang Tielan.

At that moment, Zhang Che finally saw the spiritual herb’s true appearance.

It was a huge plant. The branch and leaves were more than half a meter wide in a circular area, with a huge flower in bloom at the top. The petals were closely packed, their colors following the order of rainbows in a circle, giving it a mysterious sense of beauty.

“So pretty!” Zhang Che couldn’t help but sigh in admiration when he saw the spiritual herb.

“I know, right? I can’t believe there’s such a beautiful flower in the world!” Huang Tielan was sighing with praise as well. Her eyes were filled with stars, looking at the spiritual herb.

Girls have never had high resistance to pretty things. This spiritual flower was so pretty that Huang Tielan couldn’t bear to dig it out.
