Divine Beast Adventures

Edited by Aelryinth

Loud alarms rang throughout the entire base.

Just like that, Zhang Che ran towards the elevator wearing the purple tortoise armor, wielding the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword, with the deep blue Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon at his side.

Squad upon squad of fully-armored guards appeared from everywhere in the tunnels, firing the weapons in their hands.

Zhang Che ignored them all, continuing to his destination.

The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon breathed out stream after stream of icy air, each breath freezing a guard on the spot without exception.

After watching the security cameras, the person in charge of the base knew that ordinary guards had no way of stopping Zhang Che. As such, large-caliber weapons hidden in the walls slid out from concealed slots, unleashing a rain of explosive shells at Zhang Che.

Not only that, even high energy lasers were shooting at Zhang Che’s purple crystal armor.

However, such attacks weren’t able to hurt him at all, nor were the weapons able to injure the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon at his side.

Superalloy barriers quickly fell into place one after another, but Zhang Che cut them open one by one with single swings of the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword.

At this moment, Zhang Che was like an unstoppable purple demon, rampaging his way through everything.

The elevator leading to the surface had its power source cut, but was not a problem that could stump Zhang Che.

With a few swings of the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword, the elevator cabin was turned into a ruin, revealing the shaft up. A lash of the Rotten Ent Prowler whip pulled Zhang Che up to the exit.

The last line of defense was now before him.

It was a several-meter-thick superalloy gate, able to withstand armor-piercing missiles, closed up and standing before Zhang Che.

Above him were a few dozen high-energy laser machines operating at maximum capacity, shooting beam after beam of high temperature lasers at Zhang Che’s purple crystal armor, but they were all reflected off of him.

However, the Purple Crystal Tortoise’s defense against pure energy attacks wasn’t perfect. Zhang Che could feel the armor’s surface slowly heating up.

If this continued on, even if the armor could continue defending him from their attacks, the super high temperature would roast him alive!

“Open!” Zhang Che raised his Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword up high. The Unparalleled Sharpness skill was activated, the blade emitting a scarlet light.

The sword slashed down heavily at the superalloy gate, directly carving out an opening. Zhang Che didn’t stop his motions. He raised his sword again, slashing down at the gate repeatedly.

Before the ten second duration of the skill was up, he cut a huge opening out of the several-meter-thick super alloy gate. Zhang Che brought the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon and passed through.

From there, it was a free man’s world!

Zhang Che didn’t continue showing off, and directly jumped onto the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s back. This terrifying dragon let out a resounding roar and flew straight through the encirclement of bullets and laser beams, coming out to the factory on the surface, and directly soared into the sky under the frightened, yet relieved gazes of the guards.

Once the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon was up in the sky, Zhang Che had the Purple Crystal Tortoise dispel its skill. Afterwards, with a thought, he had the Purple Crystal Tortoise shoot out the rocket it swallowed previously.

Rumble! The rocket directly crashed down into the factory, exploding into a mass of fire and smoke. Afterwards, the surrounding flammable objects all ignited, the fire quickly spreading out.

The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon brought forth his greatest speed, leaving the now-chaotic secret base behind.

——

About a quarter of an hour later, a deep blue silhouette suddenly descended from the sky onto a desolate hill. The mighty aura it emanated immediately woke up the low-tier exotic beasts in the area, and they ran away down the hill in fear.

Zhang Che jumped off the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s back, looking at the mid-tier beastmaster still held unconscious in his pet’s claws. He directly summoned the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly and had it cast the Enchant skill on him.

“I hope this works…” Zhang Che mumbled. Afterwards, he slapped the mid-tier beastmaster hard, immediately waking him up.

The awakened mid-tier beastmaster didn’t make any sound. His eyes were clouded, as if he had lost his soul.

“It really does work!” Zhang Che pumped his fist excitedly. In the next moment, he was suddenly at a loss about what to do.

Although he knew a little bit of English, he had no idea how to order this guy to wipe away his spiritual imprint on the beast card, nor did he have any idea on how to ask him about Chen Qikun.

“Looks like there’s no choice but to bring him back to Chen Lishan,” Zhang Che sighed. He knocked out the pitiful mid-tier beastmaster again, mounting up and riding the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon back to the edge of San Diego. After that, he stole a car from someone and left a useless beast card behind as compensation, then drove straight towards Chen Lishan’s place.

———-

When he alighted, he picked up the mid-tier beastmaster in one arm and ran a few hundred meters before arriving at Chen Lishan’s apartment.

Seeing Zhang Che bringing someone else back, Chen Lishan couldn’t help but feel curious. “Ah, you’re back, Brother Sun. This is..?”

Although she couldn’t see this man’s face, from his skin and his hair color, Chen Lishan could immediately tell that this man was Caucasian. It was impossible for him to be her brother… so why did Zhang Che bring him back?

However, Zhang Che didn’t answer her question. He summoned the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly once more, and repeated the casting of the Enchant skill on this pitiful beastmaster again. Afterwards, he fetched a ladle of water from the kitchen and splashed it over the man’s face, then turned to Chen Lishan and said, “Get him to wipe away his spiritual imprint on all his beast cards, then ask him about your brother. See if he knows anything.”

Chen Lishan immediately understood the situation. When the mid-tier beastmaster woke up, she directly commanded him as per Zhang Che’s instructions.

Soon, a total of five cards with their spiritual imprint wiped away were handed to Zhang Che, including the Unicorn beast card.

“I finally got it!” Zhang Che trembled with excitement. He immediately activated the Unicorn card and stashed it in his spiritual sea, branding it with his spiritual imprint.

The remaining four cards, however, were all ordinary stuff. Zhang Che had no interest in them at all.

From the looks of it, this guy was only responsible for healing the test subjects whose bodies were about to break down, while he himself had no strength worth mentioning.

As his excitement faded, Zhang Che suddenly heard Chen Lishan’s suppress weeping sounds from the side. He sighed inwardly and asked, “How is it? Did you get any news on your brother?”

Chen Lishan could no longer control herself upon hearing Zhang Che’s question. She jumped into Zhang Che’s embrace and wailed out loud, “Brother Sun, my brother… my brother was killed by them! Wuuhuuhuu…”

Zhang Che’s face froze. He didn’t push Chen Lishan, who was about to crumble, away. He only raised his hand and tousled her hair, consoling her.

——

The next morning, Zhang Che boarded the sky shuttle airplane heading from San Diego to the Hua Xia region’s Bei Du City, along with Chen Lishan.

-Hua Xia, I’m coming home!-
