Chapter 222

Edited by Aelryinth

Looking as he did now, wielding the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword seemed a little incompatible .

Of course, even if he returned to his true height, it would still look a little strange wielding such a huge sword .

“Tsk, tsk . Why care so much? Let's have a look at our door board sword's power!” Zhang Che's lips were curled up into a smile . He found a protruding rock about a meter thick nearby and raised the huge sword above his head with both hands . After taking a deep breath, he swung down hard .

Chi! A soft sound rang out . Zhang Che nearly fell to the ground .

There was only the sword handle visible in his hand . Not only did the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword's two-meter-long blade split the rock apart, it even cut the portion that was buried in the earth without any resistance .

If it wasn't for Zhang Che's tight grip, perhaps the entire sword would have disappeared into the ground!

“s.h.i.+t, I nearly fell!”

Zhang Che exerted a little strength, pulling the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword out from the ground, looking at the deep scar left behind . He could only blame himself for his lack of imagination, and not for the fact that the door board sword was too sharp .

After testing the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword's attacking strength, the result left Zhang Che pleased beyond his expectations . However, it was a pity that the nearby exotic beasts were all killed by his babies . Otherwise, he really wanted to find a defensive exotic beast to experiment on, and draw some blood .

“Now, let's see what the Seven Star Silver Beetle armor looks like . Will I look cool after wearing it?”

In the end, it was indeed very cool looking . Zhang Che went to the stream at the foot of the majestic mountain and looked for a relatively calm surface . He put on the silver armor and looked at the water . The reflection of a tall, silvery armored young warrior entered his eyes .

The Seven Star Silver Beetle armor had p.r.o.nounced contours, s.h.i.+ning with silvery light . It was much, much better looking than the two other sets of armor Zhang Che had .

He instantly came to a decision: This set of armor would be his usual battle armor from now on!

As for when he fell into a dangerous situation, naturally there was still the Purple Crystal Tortoise's Purple Crystal Armor skill, providing Zhang Che with an incomparable defense .

Zhang Che had tested it . When the Purple Crystal Tortoise transformed into armor, it looked like he was hiding himself in a purple tortoise sh.e.l.l, no matter how he looked at it . It was ugly to the extreme, especially that purple helmet . It was as ugly as it could get .

Luckily, the Purple Crystal Tortoise was not a Green Crystal Tortoise…¹

After returning to the mountain summit, Zhang Che began to have designs on the skeleton again .

-With such devastating attacking strength, the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword should be able to cut the skeleton, right?-

Alas, the results left Zhang Che very disappointed . Despite swinging the sword with all his might, he couldn't even leave a mark on the skeleton .

Not only that, he even used the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword's skill, Unparallelled Sharpness . A layer of sword light glowed on the blade as he swung down . He discovered, to his astonishment, that there was still no damage to the skeleton!

It had to be mentioned that the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword's skill was able to penetrate all non-divine-tier defenses!

Without a doubt, the ferocious beast was a divine-tier exotic beast when it was alive . Perhaps even above that!

“What a pity . Looks like I have no choice but to have the Purple Crystal Tortoise bury the skeleton for now, and come back to retrieve it in the future if the opportunity arises . ”

In the end, Zhang Che reluctantly had the Purple Crystal Tortoise work as a coolie, pouring piles upon piles of rocks onto the enormous skeleton, burying it beneath .

The next day, Zhang Che woke up early in the morning and went to the stream at the mountain foot to wash up . Afterwards, he didn't continue hunting exotic beasts . Instead, he had the Purple Crystal Tortoise spit out the cleaned corpse of an exotic beast . He roasted it over a bonfire and had it for breakfast . After that, he decided on a direction and prepared to leave .

Although he didn't know which direction led to the safety zone, Zhang Che had a solution .

At the area he first arrived after leaving the endless tunnel, the exotic beasts were obviously much stronger than where he was now . If his conjectures were right, there was an extremely high probability of finding the safety zone if he continued heading in this direction .

As for the other two directions, Zhang Che had encountered the unfathomable, yet extremely terrifying giant stone man when chasing the Poison Fire Twin-Headed Dragon . That was obviously unlikely to be the direction leading to the safety zone .

As for the only remaining direction, although Zhang Che had no way to tell, he didn't intend to go that way .

If the direction he chose now really turned out to be wrong, he wouldn't waste too much time correcting himself anyway .

Zhang Che took a last look at the majestic mountain behind him, thinking that there would be a day when he'd return here . He Summoned his army of powerful subdued beasts and pets and journeyed on .

In order to avoid encountering dangerous exotic beasts, Zhang Che chose not to fly in the sky on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon . Instead, he had the Purple Jade Condor scout their surroundings from the sky, while he led his babies and travelled overland .

Perhaps Zhang Che's decision was right . He kept heading west for a few hundred kilometers, and yet he didn't b.u.mp into a single powerful exotic beast . Instead, the number of low-tier exotic beasts gradually increased .

However, to be on the safer side of things, Zhang Che still chose to not fly in the sky . He wanted to make sure there wouldn't be any danger if he continued going this way, before opting to travel quickly via air .

Even though he was travelling on land, by the time evening came, Zhang Che had covered close to two thousand kilometers of ground .

The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon wasn't only able to fly at high alt.i.tudes . He could also fly close to the ground .

During this two-thousand-kilometer journey, Zhang Che didn't encounter any powerful exotic beasts, nor did he see a trace of a beastmaster, leaving him very doubtful .

It was normal if you thought about it, however . Unless it was a beast world close to a super megcity, it really wasn't such an easy thing to b.u.mp into other beastmasters . Everything depended on fate .

It was obvious that Zhang Che had yet to meet someone fated with him .

Although he didn't know whether his choice of direction was correct, Zhang Che still showed hints of happiness on his face . The frisky monkey was finally going to advance from silver to gold-quality!

It was getting late . Zhang Che decided to have the Purple Crystal Tortoise dig a cave out of the body of a mountain, turning the place into his camp for tonight .

Just as the Purple Crystal Tortoise was done digging the cave, the frisky monkey had successfully advanced .

[Gluttony Monkey]

Level: Three Star (Level 26)

Quality: Gold

Characteristics: Lively and Mischievous, Extremely Skilled at Climbing, Excels in Finding All Kinds of Fruits

Weakness: Poison Attribute Attacks

Innate Attribute: Spiritual Reaction, Able to Sense the Spiritual Fluctuations of Spiritual Herbs Within an 800 Meter Radius .

Skill: Superstrong Spiritual Reaction . Able to Sense the Spiritual Fluctuation of All Spiritual Herbs Within a 5000 Meters Radius After Activation and be Aware of its Exact Location . Cooldown Time: 1 Day

Potential: B Rank

Zhang Che was at a loss for words after seeing the frisky monkey's new attributes . That Superstrong Spiritual Reaction skill was simply a bug! It allowed the frisky monkey to sense the spiritual fluctuation of all spiritual herbs within five kilometers, and informs him of their location!

This fellow, shouldn't his name be changed to Treasure Hunting Monkey?

The only regrettable part was that the cooldown time of this skill was a full day long, leaving Zhang Che cursing silently .

-The frisky monkey has such frightening treasure hunting ability after advancing to gold-quality . What if he advanced to dark gold-quality in the future? Would his scope be no longer limited to spiritual herbs, and include heavenly treasures and rare minerals?- Thinking of this, Zhang Che couldn't help but greatly look forward to it .
