Chapter 501: 501
Edited by Aelryinth
A few streamlined figures swam quickly through the deep, dark waters .
Although these water-based exotic beasts were huge, they were fast in the water, uninhibited by the current . As they swam, they didn’t stir up too strong of an undercurrent, either .
If Zhang Che didn’t have the golden vortex granting him senses far sharper than ordinary beastmasters, he wouldn’t have noticed these approaching exotic beasts . If things had really played out their way, when those water-type exotic beasts launched their sneak attacks, Zhang Che would be flustered, even with his strength .
The water wasn’t Zhang Che’s natural terrain, after all .
Even though the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s strength wasn’t diminished at all in the water, if there were too many water-type exotic beasts attacking, he might not be able to handle it .
In addition, Zhang Che wasn’t the only one in the water . There was also the elemental queen, who couldn’t swim .
Hundreds of thoughts flew through Zhang Che’s mind . He immediately decided, “Go, get up to the surface first . ”
Only the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon was adept in the water . Also, from the looks of it, those attacking water-type exotic beast weren’t weak . To be safe, Zhang Che couldn’t remain in the deeper water any longer .
Even so, the water-type exotic beasts were extremely fast . They moved through the waters, their speed reaching the terrifying level of about a hundred meters per second . It was impossible for Zhang Che to swim up by himself .
“Master!” The elemental queen also noticed danger was approaching from the deep waters nearby . She cast a glance at Zhang Che, showing hints of worry on her face .
It couldn’t be helped; the elemental queen was restrained in this environment . Let alone fighting, it would be very good if she could even keep herself safe .
Zhang Che nodded at the elemental queen, signalling for her to not panic . In the next moment, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon grabbed hold of the two with his claws and quickly swam up to the surface .
Although the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon was no longer a water-type exotic beast, its name contained the word dragon, after all . His speed shouldn’t be underestimated when he was swimming at his fastest . Almost instantly, they emerged from the water’s surface when they were dozens of meters deep a moment before, rising to the skies along with a huge pillar of water .
Immediately, a few streamlined figures broke out of the water as well . Their terrifyingly savage mouths opened, revealing two rows of dagger-like sharp teeth each, biting at Zhang Che and the elemental queen ferociously, who were still in the grasp of the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon .
Zhang Che finally got a good look at them . These water-type exotic beasts were like huge sharks . They were more than eight meters long, they had no claws, and their bright skin was not covered in scales . However, there was a layer of slimy substance covering their bodies, emitting a luster under the sunlight .
“You’re looking to die!” the elemental queen shouted . After leaving the water, she immediately regained her former might . Waving her hands, balls of golden scarlet flames immediately shot down .
The shark-like exotic beasts finally reacted to the situation . It seemed like they had picked the wrong prey and had provoked a powerful existence they should not have offended .
Masses of water arrows shot out from their gaping maws at the same time . Afterwards, their slender bodies twisted in the air at a speed that defied the laws of physics, turning back and directly falling back into the water below .
Those shark-like exotic beasts were only at six-star dark gold-quality . How could they possibly dare to face the attacks of an epic-class combat force head on?
The masses of concentrated water arrows were instantly evaporated by the elemental queen’s flames, and continued burning towards the exotic beasts without losing any strength .

At this moment, Zhang Che hurriedly spoke out to stop her, “Don’t ruin their bodies! We’re eating them tonight!”
Although those exotic beasts were at six-star dark gold-quality, from the looks of it, obviously they could only display their power in the water .
Zhang Che did not want this kind of useless beast card . It was better to have a taste of their meat .
Hearing Zhang Che’s cries, the elemental queen waved her hands in a hurry . The flames immediately transformed in midair, turning into long flaming needles . Afterwards, the flames quickly shot towards the exotic beasts’ heads like precision-guided missiles .
The flaming needles easily plunged into the heads of the exotic beasts like red hot knives slicing into butter . Afterwards, they exploded, directly burning their brain matter into coal .
Plop, plop, plop! . . A few noises rang out consecutively as the exotic beasts fell into the water . No further commotion was seen after they fell, their huge bodies slowly sinking deeper into the water .
How could those six-star dark gold-quality exotic beasts possibly withstand the elemental queen’s attacks? They died instantly under her wave of attacks .
{ Author’s Note: A mistake in some earlier chapters . No beast cards will drop when the elemental queen kills exotic beasts . }
{ TLN : I’m pretty sure it was already amended by the time I got to translating it though (she was crippling things and another beast was finishing them off) . }
Zhang Che was overjoyed . He quickly had the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon bring him and the elemental queen ashore, then dive back into the water and retrieve the corpses of the shark-like exotic beasts .

Those were mid-tier dark gold-quality exotic beasts! Zhang Che had never been so extravagant as to actually try the meat of such high quality and level exotic beasts and see what it tasted like .
Moreover, they were water-type exotic beasts . The flavor should be pretty different, right?
At that thought, Zhang Che immediately felt a pang of hunger rising in his stomach . He could no longer wait to dismember the corpses and find a place to barbecue!
When the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon brought their prey back, Zhang Che immediately stowed them away in his spatial storage, then mounted the dragon and flew off . After observing for a while in the sky, he decided on an elevated area in the swamp and landed there .
While Zhang Che started on his barbecue session in the swamp area, things were moving in the dark in Yuanshan City .
The three high-tier beastmasters sent by He Luotu were gathering the forces of the Freemason organization here . They organized a group of mid-tier and higher beastmasters, as well as a batch of devastating weapons they had gotten their hands on with much difficulty .
The Freemason organization’s men in Yuanshan City branch had some misgivings regarding the mission assigned to them by the higher-ups .
From their past experience, the Freemason organization had always expanded in a low profile manner . They had never made such a big move . Regarding this, the three high-tier beastmasters told them that they were going to slay a demon!
“Our Freemason organization is not only going to unite all the beastmasters without any background or influence . At the same time, we’ll also shoulder the responsibility of defending our homeland!

“I’m sure everyone here is aware of the demons’ invasion from before . Although we have obtained the first victory and forced them to retreat, the demons had many methods up their sleeves .
“Our President has learned from investigations that powerful demons have infiltrated our human society, taking over many beastmasters and concealing themselves, plotting evil schemes behind the scene to cause chaos .
“From our investigations, a genius beastmaster of humanity was actually taken over by one of those demons . He has come to Yuanshan City, his intentions unknown .
“In order to put a stop to them, the President has sent us three here to slay him before he makes his move . Are you willing to assist us in slaying the demon and maintain peace and stability for humanity?” The eldest of the three high-tier beastmasters, a middle-aged man with a righteous look, spoke with a low voice . He swept his anticipatory gaze across the elites of the organization in Yuanshan City .
“Rest assured, Vice-President, we’ll fight to the death and swear to slay the demon here, returning peaceful times to Mercury!” a youngster stood up, shouting at the top of his voice, his face red .
“Slaying the demon is our duty!” With someone leading the cheer, the rest of the beastmasters started shouting loudly as well .
“Good! After we succeed on this operation, I’ll surely ask for the President to reward everyone!” the righteous-looking middle-aged high-tier beastmaster was emotionally stirred as well, waving his hand enthusiastically .
Afterwards, orders were passed down . A series of arrangements was laid out near the spatial gateway Zhang Che had entered…
