“Hmm? It’s just like the Mutated Puffersword. Both of them didn’t receive the Halo attribute. Is it because of my bad luck?”
Although Hanxue’s attributes increased considerably, Zhang Che didn’t feel much excitement. Neither one of the babies that advanced to dark gold-quality these last two days received the Halo attribute. It seemed like his own unlucky Halo was in full effect again.
Shaking his head, Zhang Che went back to sleep.
——
That night, he finally dreamt of Miss Tienan wearing the Maneater Leech King soft armor to show him. He was so shocked that he directly woke up from his dream.
-Why is the Miss Tienan in my dreams wearing the tight-fitting armor as she was before her weight loss? That stings the eye a little too much!
-Could it be that this is what I really wanted to see the most in my subconsciousness?-
Zhang Che shivered, losing every bit of drowsiness.
“No, no, no. Although I don’t like skin-with-bones, I definitely don’t wish for Miss Tienan to return to her hundred and eighty pound appearance!”
——
In the end, Zhang Che didn’t even know how he fell asleep. In any case, his consciousness was hazy in his dreams through the night, in fear of dreaming that scene again. When he woke up the next morning, his spirits were a little low.
Just as Zhang Che was taking care of his business in the washroom, an impatient phone call from Luo Wenjun came.
“Haha, Brother Zhang, how are your preparations?”
Zhang Che really wanted to tell him he was now squatting in the toilet, but decided against it after thinking for a moment. It was better not to disgust him early in the morning.
“Come on, brother, I just woke up. I’ll let you know when I’m ready.” Zhang Che could understand Luo Wenjun’s impatience.
That was an epic-quality exotic beast, not to mention one that was about to give birth. If they slew it successfully, not only would they obtain an epic-quality beast card, they could even get its offspring.
How exciting was this!? Let alone Luo Wenjun, actually Zhang Che was also really looking forward to this!
“Hah, it’s fine! Take your time preparing, Brother Zhang. I’ll come over to pick you up right now. We’ll set off right away then.”
——-
After his meal, Zhang Che found an opportunity to tell his mother about this matter.
Of course, he wasn’t silly enough to say that he was going to hunt an epic-quality exotic beast. He only told her that Luo Wenjun discovered the tracks of a few legend-quality beasts, and invited him to go hunt them together.
“Look after yourself, Xiaoche. You mustn’t get careless, alright?”
Sun Lan was naturally worried after hearing Zhang Che was going to hunt legend-quality exotic beasts. However, she wasn’t too anxious about it.
After all, she was aware that Zhang Che had more than one legend-quality subdued beast. He probably wouldn’t run into any danger.
“Rest assured, mom. I’ll be careful,” Zhang Che replied, nodding. He said his goodbyes to his great-aunt and the others and went downstairs. He met up with Luo Wenjun, who was already waiting, and got into the latter’s car.
—
Unbeknownst to Zhang Che, long after he left, his great-aunt’s family was still in shock.
Legend-quality exotic beasts!
Heavens! To their knowledge, that was really a legendary existence. Let alone seeing one, they didn’t even dare to think about them.
How old was Zhang Che that boy? Not even twenty, was he? And he was going to hunt a legend-quality exotic beast. That was too shocking!
Sun Shaoying met gazes with Xi Hai. Both of them thought of their son. -Should we ask this great-nephew to help him?-
However, the two families hadn’t seen one another in decades, after all, not to mention Zhang Che being their junior. They really couldn’t bring themselves to ask for this favor.
-Forget it; everyone had their own blessings. It’s better to let Wenshan work hard himself and try to make a career of his own before thinking about anything else.-

Luo Wenjun didn’t drive the beastly car to pick up Zhang Che, since that model was simply drew too much attention. Given their objective on this trip, naturally they had to keep things low profile.
Moreover, at their level, the defenses provided by those cars weren’t important at all. What mattered the most was their own strength.
No matter how powerful of a car you had, it was only an inanimate object in the end. When you encountered a truly powerful enemy, it wouldn’t be able to withstand the devastating attacks regardless.

The car drove out of Tian Xing City and arrived at a large exotic beast material processing plant. Luo Wenjun switched to another car, and after driving away with the traffic, they turned onto a remote path, speeding towards the wilderness.
This fellow was really careful about things, afraid that others would be following his tracks.
The car sped along. In the end, they drove deep into the wilderness.
Zhang Che couldn’t resist asking curiously, “Brother Luo, is it not at the beast world behind the Tian Xing City suburbs?”
As Luo Wenjun drove, he answered, “That’s right. We’re heading a few hundred kilometers away to the beast world near Chang Ye City. Luo Da and Luo Er are already waiting for us there. We’ll set off immediately after we rendezvous with them.”
Chang Ye City used to be a subsidiary city to Tian Xing City. Their population was small.
Most likely, only in the beast worlds that were further out, near the cities with low populations, could Luo Wenjun’s men keep the news about an epic-quality exotic beast a secret.
If it were close to Tian Xing City, there would be too many beastmasters around. They were really unlikely to have sole possession of this news.
During the long journey to Chang Ye City, they encountered quite a number of exotic beasts blocking their paths. However, those beasts were only mid-tier mid-quality exotic beasts at best, not enough to even fill the gaps between their own beasts’ teeth. They swept their way through easily.
——-
When they arrived at the spatial gateway a few dozen kilometers away from Chang Ye City, the two abandoned the car and entered the beast world. They walked out of the safety zone and travelled a few dozen kilometers before they finally met up with Luo Da, who had come to support them.
At present, it was already afternoon.
“Can we reach the place before dark if we set out now?” Luo Wenjun directly asked Luo Da. “Also, did any other beastmasters discover that exotic beast?”
Luo Da nodded respectfully, answering, “Si-shao, if there aren’t many obstacles on the way, we should be able to reach the place before the sky turns dark. Also, that area is very remote, with few stronger exotic beasts around. We didn’t see any other beastmasters passing by during the past few days.”
“Good. Then we’ll set off right away. We’ll rest for the night after arriving, and we’ll directly make our moves tomorrow!” Luo Wenjun nodded, indicating Luo Da should lead the way. The three of them summoned their respective flying beasts, speeding off to the southwest.
