Liu Gang and the others' faces immediately sank when they heard the furious roar in the cave.

As they expected, there really was a powerful exotic beast nested in there!

Zhang Che's face, however, was one of joy!

-As I expected, is today fated to be a two-in-one joyful event?-

Regretfully, although the exotic beast in there was provoked and furious about it, it had no intention of rus.h.i.+ng out of the cave.

Liu Gang and the others' faces were pretty ugly at this moment. Just as he was about to give his suggestion, he saw Zhang Che bending down to pick up another piece of rock. "Zhang-shao, let's leave quickly. If-"

-Oh s.h.i.+t, big brother, you're looking to die!-

"Zhang-shao, don't-" Before he could finish his words, Zhang Che hurled the rock into the cave with all his strength.

Liu Gang and the others exchanged glances silently, -Why don't we make a run for it ourselves first?-

However, the problem was that Huang Juyun would skin them alive if they really left this young master alone and ran by themselves!

Another furious roar rang out from within the cave. It sounded much like the cry of a cat in heat, magnified by countless times. Just hearing it left them feeling nervous.

-Hmm? You can even endure this?- Zhang Che grew even more agitated. If it could even endure such provocations, it could only mean one thing. Either the spiritual herb in the cave was about to fully mature, or the spiritual herb was a very high-grade one, leaving the exotic beast unwilling to come out at all.

-I don't believe this!-

Zhang Che bent down again, picking up another rock and throwing it in.

Liu Gang and the others no longer tried to persuade Zhang Che. They silently summoned all their subdued beasts, ready to brace against the impending storm ahead.

Each of them were swearing to themselves, -I won't ever come into the beast world with this kid again, even if I'm beaten to death! It's really too challenging for my heart!-

After the third rock was thrown in, another furious roar like a cat's mating call rang out. However, the exotic beast inside still didn't show any signs of making a move.

Liu Gang and the others were dumbstruck. -What kind of a situation is this?-

To get provoked repeatedly like this, let alone an exotic beast, even humans wouldn't be able to tolerate it!

Zhang Che had thoroughly run out of patience…

"Let's go, Zhang-shao. The exotic beast inside is of an unknown level and quality. It's still not too late for us to leave now if we can't afford to offend it," Liu Gang said, wanting to leave this place as soon as possible.

"No way I'm leaving. If I don't force that fellow out, I won't leave no matter what!" Zhang Che ground his teeth. He waved his hand in the air. The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon swooped down from above, coming to the cave entrance and aiming his mouth at the cave, breathing stream after stream of frozen air into it.

Liu Gang and the others really wanted to cover their eyes…

At that moment, there was finally a response from inside.

An extremely furious roar, gathered into a sound wave burst out from inside the cave, shocking Zhang Che and the others, who felt pain in their ear drums.

Immediately afterwards, a wave of heavy footsteps rang out. The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon quickly took to the skies, flying high up into the air.

In the next moment, a pair of deep glowing red eyes entered the group's sight, followed by a body that resembled a lion, charging out of the cave. It had a pair of curved horns that resembled jasper gemstones, and a body covered in a layer of dark green scales.

Between the scales on this exotic beast's body were locks of scarlet fur resembling dancing flames, as if it were wearing a fire red cape, incredibly eye-catching.

Potential: C Rank

Liu Gang and the others' face immediately changed when they saw this two-meters-plus tall, about ten meters long huge beast. He shouted out loud in a hurry, warning Zhang Che, "Watch out, Zhang-shao! This exotic beast is likely to be very strong!"

They were all high-tier beastmasters; they could sense the abnormal fluctuations of the elements in their surroundings.

An exotic beast who could bring about such fluctuations of the elements was at least a high level and high quality beast. They weren't sure if Zhang Che's subdued beasts could take it on.

However, a hint of extreme excitement flashed in Zhang Che's eyes.

A seven-star gold-quality dual-elemental exotic beast! Not only that, it even had a C-Rank potential, free from the restrictions of its level and able to rise all the way to epic quality, with a chance to gain a False Domain!

Most importantly, this Iaspi Leopardi's offensive abilities were truly too good! If it continued advancing its quality by a rank or two, it would simply be heaven-defying. It might be hard to even find another beast that could rival it within the same level and quality!

-I have to take down this Iaspi Leopardi!-

"It's fine. I understand the situation. You guys retreat a little."

Zhang Che did some calculations. Ordinarily speaking, a seven-star gold-quality beast's fighting strength should be close to that of a five-star legend-quality beast. Even if it was stronger, it would only be by a little with regards to their basic abilities like speed, strength, and so on.

However, this Iaspi Leopardi was definitely not an ordinary exotic beast. Its actual strength was surely higher than a five-star legend-quality beast.

Even so, it wasn't like Zhang Che only had one legend-quality baby. Not only that, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon's attributes happened to counter it. There should be no problem dealing with this Iaspi Leopardi.

Thinking up until here, another five-colored streak of light shot out from between his brows. The Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus' majestic figure appeared out of the blue, nearly causing Liu Gang and the others' jaw to dislocate from the shock they received.

-My G.o.d, did this kid rob one of those super high-end beast card shops or something? Since when did legend-quality subdued beasts become so common?-

Liu Gang and the others really wanted to open up Zhang Che's brain to see how many more such high-quality subdued beasts were there in his spiritual sea.

-Is this kid really only a Tier Five beastmaster?

-Remembering this, he had two weapon-type beast cards, three legend-quality subdued beasts. Then, he'll have at least one defensive equipment-type beast card, plus that possible spatial-type beast card…

-Si..! That's already seven beast cards!

-How could an ordinary Tier Five beastmaster employ seven beast cards?-

In other words, either this kid's spiritual sea was wider than ordinary beastmasters, or his beastmaster tier was not just Tier Five!

While Zhang Che was weighing the situation in his mind, he saw from his peripheral vision that Liu Gang and the others were still standing there blankly. He quickly yelled out to them, "Eh? Why are you guys still here? Quickly get back; get further away. I'm afraid I can't take care of you guys when the battle starts."

The Iaspi Leopardi's skill could form a fire tornado, sweeping a hundred-meter radius around it. If the three of them remained here, Zhang Che was sure to have his hands and feet tied up, unable to act to the best of his abilities.

It was only now that they recovered from their shock. They were no longer worried about Zhang Che. This fellow had three legend-quality subdued beasts. Even if he couldn't best this exotic beast, he should be able to escape to safety. "Oh, we'll retreat right away. Zhang-shao, you be careful!"

-Hmm, it shouldn't be a problem for him to run away. Wasn't his dark blue dragon as fast as a fighter plane?-

Thinking of that, the three of them immediately turned to run, afraid of affecting the ensuing battle.

Translator's Note:

1: The Iaspi in the beast's species was actually Jasper (referring to the mineral or gemstone, just wiki it), and although as you can tell leopardi was derived from the word leopard, the reference in its name was actually to a beast in Chinese mythology, the Zheng. There is no translation for Zheng into English, but its appearance is said to resemble a leopard, with five tails and a single horn on its head. Now, if I just kept it this way, you would get Jasper Zheng, which sounds ridiculous as a beast's species and more like a Chinese guy's name, so I decided to name it in Latin.
