Chapter 576 - That Comet-Like Streak of Dark Red (1/2)

Edited by Aelryinth

A loud rumbling came from behind, scaring Zhang Che so much his heart nearly jumped out of his throat.

Heavens knew how many terrifying creatures were chasing him right now. Zhang Che knew the nights in the beast worlds were very dangerous, and he had never tried challenging it.

Even though he had moved during nighttime before, he did so in areas where it wasn’t dangerous. Even if exotic beasts appeared, they weren’t very powerful.

This time was different, however.

This was an area where epic-quality exotic beasts appeared often. Let alone nighttime, it was extremely dangerous even during the day! Zhang Che had to worry about his safety.

Fortunately, he hadn’t gone deep into the area earlier. When night arrived, he had turned around in time and quickly flown out of the mountain range. Although he was surprised, he managed to escape safely.

-Ah, I have to adjust the time on my mechanical watch. I absolutely can’t go deep into dangerous areas at night. I got lucky this time, but there’s no guarantee next time…- Zhang Che thought, still feeling some lingering fear inside as he looked back at the endless darkness behind him. He took out a mechanical watch from his spatial storage without hesitation, and adjusted the time by estimation, then summoned out the Purple Crystal Tortoise to dig out a mountain cave to rest in.

The scarlet golden light provided by the Scarlet Flame Drake illuminated the spacious cave. Zhang Che was missing the days of having the elemental queen at his side, roasting meat while he was bored.

This time, Zhang Che hadn’t brought her along. He left her behind in Hua Xia to protect Huang Tielan in secret.

The elemental queen wasn’t weak, and outsiders had no idea of her existence. With the flame specialist protecting Huang Tielan in the dark, even if their enemies sent out powerful forces to ambush the Huang family, their home wouldn’t be in any danger.

“But, after getting used to eating the meat roasted by her, my skills seem bad no matter how I look at it. How am I supposed to swallow what I cooked later!?”

Although Zhang Che’s skill at roasting meat could be considered passable, it was simply like heaven and earth compared to the elemental queen’s!

The night went by silently. When the endless darkness was instantly washed away and the beast world had turned bright once more, Zhang Che woke up in the cave on time.

He didn’t have to check the time. With his natural instincts, he was able to tell a new day had started.

He was going to enter that primitive forest again to help Huang Tielan find a suitable beast card armor. Of course, it’d be great to obtain some decent beast cards as well! No one would ever complain about having too much good stuff.

Zhang Che followed the route he had taken yesterday, setting off for the vast primitive land. He was determined to not draw attention today.

As such, he had the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon try his best to conceal his aura and stick close to the bushes, grass, and any vegetation on the ground, moving forward carefully.

There were not only large amounts of huge ferocious beasts in this area, but poisonous exotic beasts weren’t few in number, either. However, the poisonous exotic beasts weren’t strong across the board. Due to their fear of the faint icy aura coming from the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, they didn’t dare to come close and attack. Some of them even fled far away to hide themselves.

The weaker a creature was, the better their instincts and sense of danger was. Zhang Che watched a several-meters-long large centipede with dark golden carapace flash past and quickly burrow into the soil.

Zhang Che couldn’t help but lament inside, -What a pity. This type of centipede looks really delicious. If I let Hanming hunt it and remove its carapace, the meat inside is sure to be nice and tender. It should be an incredibly delicious food, whether I roasted it or fried it.-

This time, Zhang Che’s main objective was to find an armor-type beast card. He didn’t want to waste too much time here, or he might really have gone after the centipede and dug three feet into the ground to drag it out.
