Chapter 300
Edited by Aelryinth
That half-transparent ethereal thing was rapidly closing in . Zhang Che summoned the scarlet sword to slash at it, but it looked as if the sword passed through air, unable to interrupt it in the slightest .
At this time, he finally saw clearly that the half-transparent specter was a condensed version of the sea beast .
-What is this?
-Is it the soul of the sea beast? Its body was slain by me, and its soul can emerge from it to attack me?-
Zhang Che felt a chill inside . The scarlet sword passed through it directly; it seemed like physical attacks were ineffective . As such, he hurriedly ordered the Scarlet Flame Drake to breathe out a ball of flames .
However, the flames passed through the ethereal, too, unable to inflict any damage onto the spirit of the sea beast!
In the end, the half-transparent ethereal directly jumped onto Zhang Che, instantly merging into his body . His face turned pale white from the shock, at a complete loss for what to do .
Just as he was about to mobilize the rainbow crystal to attack, the specter quickly rushed into his spiritual sea . At that moment, an extremely strong suction suddenly erupted from the golden vortex in his spiritual sea, directly absorbing it .
Instantly, a golden brilliance shone out in his spiritual sea . It was like the golden vortex had taken some tonic . Its size quickly expanded from a tiny dot to about the size of a sesame seed .
Zhang Che felt an incredibly profound sensation . He suddenly closed his eyes and allowed his consciousness to sink into the golden vortex, switching to the godly perspective, perceiving every tiny detail within a hundred meter radius .
A hint of excitement rushed up to Zhang Che’s head . The corners of his lips gradually curled up into a faint smile .
The scarlet sword swept down and directly flew to a hundred and ten meters away from him . Both its speed and range had improved tremendously .
As he willed it, the scarlet sword instantly disappeared from the limits of its range . It turned into a streak of red light and directly flew back into Zhang Che’s brow, whereupon Zhang Che reopened his eyes .
At this moment, a terrifying aura could be faintly sensed from under the water .
“A stronger one is here!” Zhang Che’s brow furrowed . He hurriedly ordered the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon to head to that island ahead .
Just as the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon flew away, huge waves rose from the water surface behind them .
An unbelievably huge sea beast directly broke the water’s surface and flew a few hundred meters high in the air, its ferocious head looking Zhang Che’s way . It opened its mouth, aiming at him and shooting out countless water arrows .
Those were clearly arrows formed from water, but they gave Zhang Che an extremely terrifying feeling, as if they were the sharpest alloy arrows in the world!
Without any hesitation, Zhang Che summoned the Purple Crystal Tortoise, ordering it to activate its Purple Crystal Armor skill, enveloping him . He quickly laid down prone, sticking closely to the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s back .
Those countless arrows were upon him!

Dang, dang, dang, dang! Crisp sounds similar to metal clashing rang out consecutively .
Zhang Che felt massive forces slamming continuously onto the Purple Crystal Armor . The impacts nearly left him unable to hold onto the fur on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s back, almost falling off .
Meanwhile, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s crystallized body was punctured with countless tiny holes . Wisps of darkfiend aura leaked out from those holes, enveloping himself in a layer of deep blue mist .
“Go, go!”
Zhang Che could only direct the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon to keep flying to the island just before their eyes . Once they got through this final bit of distance, there was nothing else to worry about .
Zhang Che’s guess was right . When the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon finally arrived in the sky above the island, the countless water arrows that were still being fired continuously seemed to hit an invisible barrier, losing their strength and turning back into water droplets, splashing down as rain .
From the looks of it, these islands filled with vegetation were like individual safety zones .
Zhang Che finally let out a breath of relief . He jumped off the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s back and saw that the dragon’s body seemed to be on the verge of collapsing after taking all those beatings .
” Si… what terrifying water arrow attacks . Luckily I reacted quickly, if not I might not even have any bones left by now…”
With a wave of his hand, Zhang Che recalled the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon back into his spiritual sea to recover . He didn’t terminate the Purple Crystal Armor skill, however, and headed deeper into the island looking like a big walking purple tortoise .

Suddenly, some rustling could be heard from the forest ahead . A male beastmaster approached him, looking at Zhang Che with an astonished expression and said in disbelief, “Woah, you’re not bad, brother! You actually managed to make it out alive from that spitty monster’s attacks! Amazing!”
Zhang Che was taken aback . -Spitty monster?- He realized this fellow was probably referring to that enormous sea beast .
Before Zhang Che could ask the questions bugging him, that man looked at him strangely and asked something that shook Zhang Che even further . “Strange . You don’t look weak at all; why did you only enter the secret plane today? Did you encounter some powerful exotic beast on the way?”
Zhang Che collected his emotions a little, putting on a faint smile and nodded, “Can’t help it . I got unlucky and was chased by an epic-quality exotic beast for two days . That’s why I came in late . Luckily I still managed to enter the secret plane, or everything would have been a waste . ”
“Haha, I see that this brother’s luck is really not that great . You finally made it into the secret plane and arrived at this island without much resources . ”
Zhang Che was thoroughly stunned . -Not much resources?-
Seeing the confused look on Zhang Che, that man slapped the back of his head and explained, “Right . The minerals on the nearby bald islands were all scraped clean by a bunch of beastmasters over the past few days and they left for somewhere else . ”
Zhang Che seemed to understand the situation a little better now, and he asked, “Then, why didn’t brother leave?”
The man smiled bitterly and lifted his arms, shrugging, “I can’t . All my subdued beasts died by the time I got here . In the end, I even gave up my remaining spatial storage card to those guys in exchange for a trash beast to hunt wild beasts for food . My only hope right now is for the gateway to open soon and leave this damn place . ”
Seeing Zhang Che still seemed to be a little suspicious, he gestured towards the sea with his mouth, “There, I got unlucky when I entered the gateway, and was transported to above the sea . That spitty monster from earlier showed up and I summoned all my subdued beasts to protect me, allowing me to barely make it to this island . ” Shaking his head, he sighed and continued, “I see that you’re pretty strong yourself . When night comes, you better get going to other places . In any case, there’s no more resources on the nearby bald islands . Treat it as you’re pitying me and leave the food on this island for me . ”

Zhang Che creased his brow slightly, asking, “I can leave at night?”
“Right . At night time, there will be a strange black wind blowing above the sea . The monsters in the sea won’t dare to come out at that time . All you have to do is ride fly close to the water surface on your flying subdued beast and you can avoid the black wind and go look for your next stop,” the man explained .
-Is this considered as… not being allowed to go out during the day?-
Zhang Che couldn’t find the strength to curse any more . The secret plane was full of danger and oddities, indeed . Any carelessness from him might result in death .
Seeing Zhang Che still harboring doubts, the man smiled amiably and extended his arm, inviting him, “Let’s go, I’ll bring you to look around on the island .
“Perhaps I might even need you to help with hunting a few animals later . Although the animals on this island aren’t strong, each of them are sly as hell . The subdued beast I exchanged for with my spatial storage card is truly too weak and can only be used to defend myself . ”
“No problem,” Zhang Che nodded . He followed the man, walking further into the island . “I’m about to throw up from eating compressed biscuits these past few days after being chased by that epic-quality subdued beast outside . I can do with hunting some wild animals to adjust my tastes . ”
Before he was done speaking, a scarlet streak of light suddenly shot out from Zhang Che’s brow, directly thrusting towards the man’s face .
