Chapter 577 Surprises Usually Come After Disappointmen
Edited by Aelryinth
Zhang Che was very confident about his instincts. Moreover, in this area where so many gigantic dinosaurs with thundering movements dwelled, it went without saying that something moving so fast would definitely be an extraordinary exotic beast!
Zhang Che had the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon chase in the direction the dark red streak had disappeared in, praying inside, -Hopefully we can still catch up to it!-
The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon was truly the best pet, with the most all-around abilities Zhang Che had. Be it in terms of attack, defense, speed, or nimbleness, they were all at the top.
After searching in the thick forest for several hundred meters, Zhang Che saw that dark red streak of light again.
Although it was also moving very swift and nimbly in the bushes and wild grass, Zhang Che was still able to see it clearly.
It was a lizard-like exotic beast. Its whole body was covered in a dark red armor of scales that looked like flowing light. Its body length was just shy of four meters, with a slender figure.
\"Quick, don't let it get away!\"
Zhang Che grew excited. He quickly ordered the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon to speed up, because it had realized it was being chased at the same time. The creature's nimble body sped up considerably, almost disappearing from Zhang Che's sight again.
The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon let out a low roar in excitement, relaying, -Rest assured, master! This puny thing won't be able to escape from me!-
In the next moment, Hanming erupted, flying close to his fastest speed. His body was like a bolt of blue lightning, chasing after that dark red streak of light closely.
In this forest with so many gigantic exotic beasts everywhere, none of the beasts actually noticed them!
It went to show that both that fleeing dark red lizard-like exotic beast and the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon's nimble control over their body and speed had reached the peak of exotic beasts!
The distance between them slowly drew closer.
Zhang Che wasn't feeling happy inside, but was instead extremely shocked. The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon was flying at a low altitude, but that exotic beast ahead was only running along!
Under such circumstances, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon was actually unable to catch up to it in one go! It went to show how terrifying its speed was!
It was no wonder that creature could live so leisurely in a forest filled with powerful exotic beasts and not be in any danger. It was simply impossible for those huge and terrifying dinosaurs to catch that dark red lizard in such a complicated environment!
After a few minutes of chasing, the dark red scaled lizard finally came within a hundred meters of Zhang Che.

\"As expected, its quality is not at epic or higher…\"
Although this Scarlet-Scaled Comet Beast's name and attributes were very eye-catching, and it was considered an outstanding existence among legend-quality exotic beasts, it was only at legend-quality, after all. In Zhang Che's eyes, it could no longer be considered very outstanding.
Moreover, this exotic beast's beast card type couldn't be confirmed before he killed it!
\"But, this fellow's skill at fleeing is very impressive. It can actually increase its speed by thirty percent after activation! Ordinary enemies can't hope to catch up to it at all!\"
Despite his disappointment, Zhang Che was a little moved.
The Scarlet-Scaled Comet Beast was extremely fast to begin with, and it even had an escape skill that increased its speed. It was no wonder it could survive in this land, where danger lurked everywhere, with only six-star legend-quality strength!
It had most likely activated its Star Chaser skill earlier, allowing it to run for a few minutes from the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon's pursuit. Otherwise, it would have been caught by Zhang Che long ago.
\"Since that's the case, you can die here. You've wasted quite a bit of my energy already.\"
After making Zhang Che chase it all the way here, that fellow was qualified to have Zhang Che kill him.
\"Come on, go subdue it. We'll go deeper into this area afterwards to search for those powerful exotic beasts.\"
Zhang Che patted the back of Hanming's neck. The latter let out another low roar, increasing his speed again excitedly. They caught up to that Scarlet-Scaled Comet Beast in less than twenty seconds.
Sensing the threat of death looming, a hint of fear shone in eyes of the Scarlet-Scaled Comet Beast. It spat out its scarlet tongue and hissed a few times, desperately trying to increase its speed once more to escape the pursuit of the terrifying creature behind it.
Alas, it had already brought out its fastest speed. How could it possibly do it again?
Not only that, in another minute or two, when its skill duration was depleted, its speed would even decrease by a huge margin. It would have no hopes of escaping at that time!
Whoosh! A powerful wind swept over it from behind. The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon didn't breathe out his cold air at all. He only brandished his sharp claws at the back of the Scarlet-Scaled Comet Beast's head.
The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon didn't have to use his strongest attacks to deal with a six-star legend-quality small fry. Wouldn't it be like using a butcher's knife to kill a chicken?
There was not just two star tiers difference them, they were also separated by a quality tier. The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon only needed a single swipe of his claw to end it.
However, what happened next shocked the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, and left Zhang Che staring with his mouth agape, not daring to believe what they just saw.
When the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon's sharp claw swiped against the back of the Scarlet-Scaled Comet Beast's head, there was a string of sharp noises that left people grimacing, along with sparks flying everywhere.
The massive force slammed the Scarlet-Scaled Comet Beast into the soil, but it didn't receive much actual damage!
The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon's claws, which could destroy almost anything, had only left a foot-long mark on the back of the Scarlet-Scaled Comet Beast's head. It couldn't even be called a wound!
\"Damn, that physical defense is too much!\" Zhang Che was almost tongue-tied. The astonishment he felt couldn't be put into words!
He had originally thought the Scarlet-Scaled Comet Beast was only a small fry, and decided to kill it since he already caught up to it and so gave the order to Hanming.
From the looks of it now, that fellow was simply a gem among legend-quality exotic beasts! Putting other aspects aside, its defense alone was praiseworthy!
Of course, that was if this fellow's beast card was armor-type!
-Now, let me see your true appearance!- Zhang Che was filled with anticipation, looking at the Scarlet-Scaled Comet Beast struggling to crawl out from the soil and flee again, his eyes shining. A scarlet and white sword flew out of Zhang Che's brow without any sign.
At that moment, the Scarlet-Scaled Comet Beast sensed true danger approaching. It knew it couldn't escape and dove into the soil, using every limb it had to quickly dig into the ground, frantically burrowing deeper.
This fellow was actually a digging expert, too!
The corners of Zhang Che's lips curled up uncontrollably. -What a surprise…-
