Divine Beast Adventures

Edited by Aelryinth

Rolling and crawling back up to their feet, Zhao Wu’s group was frightened. They hadn’t expected the epic-quality exotic beast’s skill to be so terrifying!

Usually these kind of wide-area attack skills wouldn’t have too great a reach. One or two hundred meters would be the limit. This time, they were standing more than three hundred meters away from the Metal Tyrant, yet they nearly lost their lives! It went to show how devastating the Metal Tyrant’s skill was!

“Not good… Zhang-shao!” Zhao Wu cried out after getting back on his feet, finally remembering something. He hurriedly looked in the direction Zhang Che was in earlier.

He saw the metal rock Zhang Che was hiding behind was already obliterated by the metal storm, and Zhang Che was nowhere to be seen. Zhao Wu felt a chill in his heart, a layer of cold sweat soaking his back.

-Zhang-shao didn’t die just like that, right?- At that thought, Zhao Wu trembled all over. He didn’t dare to imagine the consequences.

“Will Zhang-shao be fine?”

The other three looked frightened, too. They walked to the high ground at the side, opened their eyes wide and scanned ahead. When they saw the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s mass of deep blue light surging and forming back into a physical body, the four finally relaxed.

Since Zhang-shao’s subdued beast was alright, then it was impossible that something untoward had happened to him.

They didn’t dare to imagine the consequences if Zhang Che had accidentally lost his life here. Who knew what would be awaiting them?

“Damn it, Ialready overestimated this exotic beast’s skill as much as I could, but I still didn’t expect it would actually be this powerful! Luckily I hid myself in the cavity in the ground, or the results would truly be unimaginable!” Zhang Che crawled up out of the ground. His whole body was covered in ash, the shock on his face still showing.

This time, he came really close to dying. He knew his victory wasn’t guaranteed when facing those epic-quality exotic beasts with terrifying attack power, given his strength. Any carelessness on his part would risk losing his life!

Fortunately, the Metal Tyrant’s skill had already been lured out by the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon. There was nothing to worry about for the next half hour!

As for the Metal Tyrant’s other skill, Call to Arms, Zhang Che didn’t put it to mind at all. The tide of exotic beasts it had gathered earlier wasn’t able to cause any trouble to him at all. It was impossible for the Metal Tyrant to turn the situation by summoning more of them.

“Go, get it while it’s down and end that beast!” Zhang Che waved his hand fiercely. His epic-quality subdued beasts and pets rushed forward at the same time, surrounding the Metal Tyrant who had been left all alone.

The metal storm earlier didn’t just devastate Zhang Che’s party. The Metal Tyrant had also slaughtered all of its underlings within two hundred meters!

Not only that, the broken terrain was completely levelled and turned into a huge scoured crater with a radius of close to a hundred meters.

Ahead, despite being the hero of this battle, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon was reforming his body, and was greatly wounded and could no longer take part in the battle. He directly turned around and flew back to Zhang Che’s side, then silently returned to Zhang Che’s spiritual sea to absorb the rainbow crystal’s energy and recuperate.

-Luckily I had my pet Hanming who isn’t really vulnerable to physical attacks. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have a good chance to kill this Metal Tyrant…- Zhang Che sighed inside, not going up personally to kill the Metal Tyrant.

Although that fellow had used its skill, its Innate Attribute would still cause great trouble to Zhang Che to a certain extent. He didn’t want to take the risk. In any case, his epic-quality babies, especially the elemental queen and the Scarlet Flame Drake with innate fire elements, were more than enough to get rid of the Metal Tyrant.

The fight afterwards was as Zhang Che had expected.

After losing its powerful physical attacking method, although the Metal Tyrant put up its best resistance, and caused some problems for Zhang Che’s babies to a certain extent, it was restrained by the elemental queen and the Scarlet Flame Drake in the end, and thoroughly fell into a disadvantaged position.

Although it had a huge metallic body, it was being forced back constantly by the terrifyingly hot flames shot out by the elemental queen and the Scarlet Flame Drake. Afterwards, it still had to deal with the Earthen Rock Demon, the Demonic Energy Large Boar, and other epic-quality subdued beasts’ attacks. It had a hard time coping with all of them.

Soon, the Metal Tyrant used its other skill. Once it activated Call to Arms, the metal elements in the ground nearby quickly gathered and formed new metal exotic beasts.

The Metal Tyrant had already fallen into a disadvantaged position. Despite summoning a new batch of underlings, it didn’t help the situation at all. They were unable to withstand the fierce assault from Zhang Che’s babies.

Hundreds, if not a thousand, metal exotic beasts were wiped out in only a few breaths’ time. The Metal Tyrant was back to being a lone fighter.

At that moment, the Metal Tyrant wanted to escape, but it had no way of doing so. First, its body was too heavy. It was naturally disadvantaged in mobility, and didn’t have the ability to break through the encirclement of the Scarlet Flame Drake and the other babies. Second, it didn’t have the ability to fly, nor could it turn into metal elements and escape. It could only receive a beating passively and slowly head towards death.

Sharp roars of metals rubbing kept ringing out. A faint smile gradually showed on Zhang Che’s face. -It’s done. I lived up to my promise and will be bringing an epic-quality beast card back for future father-in-law.-

The Metal Tyrant charged left and right, but it failed to break through the encirclement in the end. Its fierce and majestic-looking body slowly descended into an increasingly poor state. The metal barbs on its body were burned away by the terrifying flames, like a stray dog losing all its fur.

Countless wounds, large and small, appeared on the Metal Tyrant’s body. They would quickly recover, but exhaust its vital energy greatly in the process.

Whoosh! A large ball of golden scarlet flames shot out. The Metal Tyrant couldn’t dodge in time and was struck directly. One of its steel arms directly melted from the heat, dripping to the ground.

The vital energy in its body was completely exhausted. It was no longer able to manipulate the surrounding metal elements to repair itself.

The elemental queen let out a cold laugh, and closed in. A flaming halberd materialized in her hand, violently hacking for the Metal Tyrant’s chest. The Metal Tyrant could no longer dodge the attack, nor could it manipulate the metal elements in time to form a shield in front of it to block the attack. It could only watch as the flaming halberd was thrust into its chest, and the terrifying heat erupted inside its body.

Zhang Che raised his eyebrows at the sight. He hurriedly ordered through their spiritual link, “Don’t kill it. Let the Scarlet Flame Drake do it!”

It was no joke! Exotic beasts killed by the elemental queen wouldn’t drop beast cards. If the Metal Tyrant was killed by her, Zhang Che would probably cry to death.

The rush of fighting and killing got into the elemental queen’s head and she forgot about that. Thanks to Zhang Che’s reminder, she suddenly snapped out of it and immediately retracted the output of fire elements. The flaming halberd in her hand immediately extinguished.

Fortunately Zhang Che reminded her in time. The core in the Metal Tyrant had been damaged by flames earlier. It would die at any moment. With the elemental queen pulling her punch, the severely injured Metal Tyrant could no longer support its huge body and swayed about, falling to the ground, producing an incredibly loud and dull crash.

A few hundred meters away behind Zhang Che, Zhao Wu and the others completely relaxed. Seeing the elemental queen and the other babies, their eyes were filled with admiration. “Zhang-shao’s subdued beasts are formidable, indeed!”

Zhang-shao was indeed extraordinary. He withstood even such a terrifying attack, and now he managed to kill that powerful metal exotic beast so easily!

An excited roar rang out. The Scarlet Flame Drake opened its mouth wide. A column of gold-scarlet flames shot out, instantly enveloping the fallen Metal Tyrant.

Just three seconds later, rainbow light erupted from within the flames. The Metal Tyrant was finally dead. Afterwards, a rainbow card with seven hexagrams was swept up into the air by the wind caused by the flames, drawing the gazes of everyone, like it was the most beautiful object in the world.

Zhang Che finally let out a relaxed, bright smile. He shot forth like a bolt of lightning, crossing a hundred meters in a breath’s time and caught the falling beast card in his hand.

With a glance from Zhang Che’s data eyes, the Metal Tyrant was confirmed as an Original Combat Body-type beast card, unsurprisingly. His father-in-law would surely be incredibly happy when Zhang Che returned.

After all, the Metal Tyrant’s combat ability was definitely at the top, even among high-tier epic-quality exotic beasts, as long as it wasn’t fighting against fire-attributed enemies!

Let alone Huang Juyun, not even any of those powerful high-tier beastmasters would find a subdued beast of this level weak!

——

At the death of the Metal Tyrant, the leftover exotic beasts nearby immediately receded like the tide, quickly disappearing into the complicated terrain as if they had never appeared.

Zhang Che raised his head contently, looking deeper into Mt Fallen Star. -Judging by how vast Mt Fallen Star is, perhaps there is more than one epic-quality exotic beast here?

-Then, since it’s not considered late yet, should I continue going deeper to check things out in Mt Fallen Star?-

Just as Zhang Che had that idea, his confident look suddenly darkened considerably. In the next moment, he recalled the Scarlet Flame Drake and his other babies into his spiritual sea without hesitation and summoned out the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, who had yet to fully recover. He pulled on the elemental queen and jumped onto the dragon, directly turning away and flying off.

When they passed by Zhao Wu and the others, Zhang Che conveniently pulled the confused group onto the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s back and sped off towards the outskirts of Mt Fallen Star.

Zhao Wu and the others were confused. They couldn’t help but ask, “Zhang-shao, what happened?”

-Why did Zhang Che withdraw all of a sudden? Could it be…- Zhao Wu thought of a possibility. His face paled, so pale from fright that not a tinge of red could be seen!

As expected, what came after was Zhang Che shouting in frustration, “Freaking hell, who was the one scouting for information here?! I’m impressed by how fortunate he was! There’s a divine-quality exotic beast here, and yet it didn’t kill that guy! Is there something going on between him and the goddess of luck or something?!”

After hearing Zhang Che’s words, the others paled even more. Indeed, there really was a divine-quality exotic beast here!
