Chapter 503: 503
Edited by Aelryinth
The Falling Star Model X Mk III displayed devastating attack power during its first battle .
Although the frisky monkey had grown a full size bigger, its nimbleness and aim hadn’t decreased at all . Not only that, it had grown stronger physically, to a terrifying degree .
He could even draw a super strong bow with more than twenty thousand kilograms draw weight easily, and maintain a firing speed of five arrows per second!
Seeing the frisky monkey landing every arrow and quickly killing the exotic beasts gathering towards them from all directions, Zhang Che didn’t idle around either . He had already mounted the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, and was now rushing to the exotic beasts that were trying to run away .
The exotic beasts drawn here by the fragrance of the grilled meat had not expected there to not only be no delicious food, but a huge death trap also laid there .
The frisky monkey wasn’t the only one hunting those powerful exotic beasts . The Scarlet Flame Drake, as well as Zhang Che’s other subdued beasts and pets, were also unleashing their respective elemental attacks crazily, killing the exotic beasts near them and littering the ground with either corpses or beast cards .
“Kill as you wish! Kill as many as you can!” Zhang Che shouted excitedly . The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon streaked through the area like lightning, rushing to where the exotic beasts were most concentrated almost instantly .
The scarlet and white sword light flew out from Zhang Che’s brow and started harvesting the nearby exotic beasts’ lives like it was the reaper’s scythe .
The scarlet and white sword light flashed within the surrounding hundred meters radius of Zhang Che . Streak after streak of blood spattered . The slain exotic beasts turned into glows of light one after another, some of them directly dissipating, while the others condensed into beast cards and fell lightly to the ground .
Facing the scarlet and white sword’s attack power that surpassed epic-quality, the exotic beasts, which were only around high-tier gold-quality at the most, couldn’t withstand the attacks at all . Even running for their lives was extremely difficult .
In the next moment, the gathered exotic beasts started running away in all directions with a loud rumble, charging away like the water current from a broken dam .
It was a rare opportunity for Zhang Che . How could he possibly let the exotic beasts escape so easily? Flying around on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, the two chased targets everywhere, madly harvesting the lives of the exotic beasts . His accumulated soul force points quickly rose even higher .
At present, Zhang Che was less than a quarter of the way left from breaking through to Tier Seven beastmaster . He only needed to keep up his efforts for about ten more days to advance into high tier .
At that thought, Zhang Che couldn’t but help grow excited .
The pursuit and killing of the exotic beasts lasted about another half an hour . When there were only a handful of exotic beasts left trying to escape, Zhang Che finally let the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon stop, no longer chasing after those lucky ones .
It wasn’t that Zhang Che didn’t want to continue chasing, but that the exotic beasts had fully scattered . Spending more time to hunt them was no longer worth it .
A better use of that time was for Zhang Che to stop and fill his stomach, then continue looking for another area with a high density of exotic beasts and go on another round of harvesting . The gains would be much higher!
That evening, Zhang Che stopped all activities of hunting exotic beasts . He looked around in the swamplands and found a mountain, then had the Purple Crystal Tortoise dig out a cave to rest for the night .
He had tried letting the frisky monkey sense for spiritual herbs . However, they discovered that there were far too few spiritual herbs growing in this area .
If it were in the past, Zhang Che would go around and gather the scattered spiritual herbs despite the trouble . Now, there were uncountable spiritual herbs in his secret plane . Naturally he wasn’t willing to waste his time like that .
If he was willing to, he could go gather large amounts of spiritual herbs from the secret plane any time he wanted . Although there might not be many high-grade herbs in there, when the sheer quantity reached a certain scale, it would be a terrifying fortune regardless!
Before going to sleep, Zhang Che elemental queen forced Zhang Che to play a few games of chess . The results were obvious without needing to mention it . Zhang Che, who wanted to preserve his face as her master, wouldn’t let the elemental queen give him an advantage no matter what . In the end, the games they played all ended up with Zhang Che losing so badly it was humiliating . On average, he would be forced into a corner and lose a big chunk of his pieces at least twice every game .

Given the elemental queen’s superior skills at Go, she could clearly give Zhang Che an easy death by slowly killing his pieces bit by bit, like cooking a frog with lukewarm water . However, she was very fond of the thrill of getting a big kill in one go . Despite Zhang Che enduring again and again, trying his best to survive, it was useless . Some pieces that clearly seemed possible to survive would always end up dying as the game went on .
“I’m done, I’m done . Time to sleep . ”
Seeing the elemental queen getting a kick out of torturing him, Zhang Che didn’t want her happiness to be built upon his suffering . He directly pushed the pieces away, messing up the board and silently took out his sleeping bag . He made his way into it and quietly licked his wounds .
He swore to never play chess with the elemental queen again . It was nothing but seeking torture!
Seeing Zhang Che squirming into his sleeping bag like he had lost his purpose in life, the elemental queen gave him the final blow, saying, “Kakaka, Master was letting me win, right?”
Zhang Che pretended not to hear her and closed his eyes shut, forcing himself to fall asleep . The elemental queen continued gloating for a while when she saw Zhang Che ignoring her . Afterwards, she also found her way into her sleeping bag .
The night passed quietly . After they woke up the next morning, Zhang Che led his subdued beasts and pets to slaughter the remaining exotic beasts in the final area, then promptly returned .
Well, to say that they were returning was a little inaccurate . They were heading to the next beast world .
Although they were more than three thousand kilometers deep into the beast world, there weren’t many overly powerful exotic beasts around . Zhang Che didn’t have to purposely avoid some areas, and could directly fly on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon straight back towards the safety zone .
At about 5 PM Mercury time in the afternoon, the safety zone appeared on the horizon .

Thinking back on it, this trip into the beast world was the shortest one ever . The reason was that there were few extremely powerful exotic beasts in the huge swamp area;Zhang Che didn’t have to take them into consideration and saved a lot of time that way .
-We’ll rest a night in Yuanshan City and set off tomorrow morning . We should be able to make our way into the depths of the next beast world about noon . If we continue at this pace, it might not even take me ten days to break through to Tier Seven beastmaster!- Zhang Che calculated for a while, growing more and more excited . Riding the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, he directly flew to the edge of the safety zone before jumping off and quickly made his way to the spatial gateway .
He didn’t realize that right when the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s figure appeared on the horizon, several people quickly moved to cross the spatial gateway .
Afterwards, a huge net was quickly spread out, converging on Zhang Che without any sign .
He wasn’t aware of any of this . After crossing the spatial gateway and walking out of the military camp, a taxi suddenly stopped in front of him .
“Young brother, are you returning to the city?”
-Since when did taxi drivers dare solicit for business outside of the city?- Zhang Che doubted for a moment . However, he didn’t put it to mind . As long as the price was right, there would be plenty of brave men willing to take the risk .
“I am . What’s the price like?” Zhang Che asked . The driver immediately smiled and replied, “Two hundred, no haggling . ”
Zhang Che nodded, not saying anything . He directly led the elemental queen forward and opened the door, getting into the car .
It was more than thirty kilometers from here to Yuanshan City . Asking for two hundred dollars wasn’t much .

Of course, let alone two hundred, even two thousand or twenty thousand made no difference to Zhang Che . However, he wouldn’t be taken for a sucker willingly, either . If the driver had asked for too high a price, Zhang Che didn’t mind looking for another taxi .
The taxi rumbled on, leaving the military camp and quickly drove on the main road back to Yuanshan City . At the same time, a man standing next to the window of a building at the business district near the military camp opened up his personal terminal and dialed a number . He whispered, “The fish has taken the bait . Prepare to reel in the net!”
After the signal was sent out, an invisible gigantic net immediately came together . Once Zhang Che arrived at the center of the net, it would be quickly reeled in, launching a crazy attack .
Zhang Che had zero idea he was about to step into a huge trap . He sat inside the taxi with his eyes shut, taking a quick rest . At the same time, he was calculating exactly how many more days he needed to advance to Tier Seven beastmaster .
Although he could faintly estimate the time, it was very difficult to get a more specific estimation .
“Hopefully everything goes well . The sooner, the better . ” Zhang Che couldn’t wait . He had two powerful beast cards waiting in his spatial storage for him to use .
One of them was the seven-star epic-quality Demonic Energy Large Boar . Although it was a little weak compared to other high-tier beasts, it was considerably stronger than ordinary mid-tier epic-quality beast cards, regardless .
The other one was the seven-star legend-quality Berserker Bear . Although the beast card was only at legend-quality, it was an extremely rare Fusion Transformation-type card, able to greatly increase Zhang Che’s personal strength . Its use was totally not inferior to ordinary epic-quality beast cards .
Regrettably, the two beast cards were seven-stars, requiring that he advance to Tier Seven beastmaster before he could use them .
“Soon, soon! I’m almost there!” A faint smile slowly drew his lips back .
