It was very obvious that since the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon had chased them all the way here, it had no intentions of returning empty-handed.

Thus, when the Purple Jade Condor lowered its altitude to let Zhang Che down, the flood dragon immediately grabbed onto this opportunity and rode the cloudy mist, lunging at it.

Hmm, it was likely that Zhang Che’s tiny figure didn’t register as a threat in the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon’s eyes. It didn’t even bother sparing a glance at this insignificant speck of dust. Its full attention was on the Purple Jade Condor’s huge figure.

There was a wave of rustling as Zhang Che crashed into the thick crown of the tree, then jumped off it, slightly disoriented. He found a place that provided a good viewpoint and looked into the sky, watching the battle leisurely.

A battle of such level naturally had no openings for Zhang Che to interfere in. The Mutated Puffersword’s level and quality were too low; the Sonic Wave skill couldn’t even tickle the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon.

None of the rest of Zhang Che’s subdued beasts could rise to the occasion, either, not to mention that the battle was taking place in the air. The Fiery Scorpion and the rest of his subdued beasts could only stand by and watch.

-Hm? Oh, right. From the looks of it, the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon’s physical defense shouldn’t be too strong, right?-

Zhang Che suddenly thought of this, and immediately summoned the frisky monkey with a wave of his hand.

“Zhizhi!” The moment the Gluttony Monkey appeared, he cried out at Zhang Che with some resentment in his voice. He was confined within Zhang Che’s spiritual sea for most of the day, and the boredom was getting to him. He wanted to come out to take a breather all this while, but his owner forcefully kept him in, driving him a little mad.

Naturally, the frisky monkey had no idea that Zhang Che was enveloped in the heart of the demonic flower for half the day. How could he have let him out?

“Alright, alright. Don’t complain. I’ll make you some roasted meat when we’re done!” Zhang Che said. He patted the back of the frisky monkey’s head and pointed to the sky, adding, “Shoot that fellow down if it tries to run away after losing the fight. Can do you that?”

“Zhizhi!” the frisky monkey cried out, indicating Zhang Che could leave it to him! For the sake of roasted meat, he had to do it, even if he couldn’t!

In the sky above the mountain, the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon was currently tangling with the Purple Jade Condor.

Originally, Zhang Che had thought that it would be very easy for the Purple Jade Condor to bring down this fellow, but from the looks of it, it truly was worthy of being a beast that could evolve into a real dragon. Although it wasn’t as fast as the Purple Jade Condor, its agility wasn’t inferior in any way.

Moreover, this fellow’s innate attribute was too good. It was actually able to breathe out cold white frosty air continuously, leaving the Purple Jade Condor feeling rather apprehensive, not daring to get too close to it.

A battle that was supposed to one-sided actually became an even match!

However, Zhang Che wasn’t discouraged in the slightest.

Instead, he grew even more excited. This fellow was actually able to fight against another beast whose overall strength was higher than it! If he could successfully tame it, he’d gain another powerful combatant, and be able to move unhindered in watery areas. He wouldn’t be afraid of encountering another difficult opponent in this area in the southeast of the beast world.

Even so, it was unacceptable for this battle to drag on any longer. Seeing as the sky was quickly turning dark, Zhang Che didn’t want any further troubles. It’d be best if he could settle this as soon as possible.

“Ah Zi, lure it here!”

The Purple Jade Condor executed Zhang Che’s orders faithfully, feigning to be no match for the flood dragon, retreating as it fought, flying towards where Zhang Che was.

Seeing the Purple Jade Condor was “running in defeat”, the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon grew excited and gave chase, riding on a layer of cloudy mist.

Down in the forest, the frisky monkey was wielding the Falling Star Model X, the bowstring slightly drawn. The M-type armor-piercing arrow was nocked on the bowstring, waiting for an opportunity.

“Fire!” Zhang Che suddenly shouted when the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon caught up to the Purple Jade Condor and opened its mouth to breathe out its arctic breath. The Gluttony Monkey at his side let loose the drawn bowstring of the Falling Star Model X in his hands. A ferocious cold light shot out, flying over a hundred meters in an instant, entering the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon’s open mouth.

Blood splattered in the air. The long arrow shot through the back of mouth, exiting from the back of its head. The arrow continued flying in the air for some distance before finally losing all momentum, falling into the forest.

The Cold Abyss Flood Dragon couldn’t help but let out a low, pained roar after suffering such a sudden severe hit. Riding its gradually thinning cloud, it immediately turned to escape back in the direction of the water.

It finally realized that it had fall into a trap.

Even so, how could Zhang Che let it run away just like that, after going through such troubles to lure it out?

The Purple Jade Condor who was holding back all this time finally unleashed its true powers, immediately activating the Wing Blade skill. It caught up in the blink of an eye in the form of a purple lightning, grabbing the back of the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon’s head with its talons, and dragging it down to the forest below.

In order to prevent it from directly killing the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon, Zhang Che didn’t dare let the Purple Jade Condor to attack it directly with the Wing Blade, only making use of the high speed after activating the skill to catch this long wyrm.

After being caught by the Purple Jade Condor, the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon tried its best to resist, but all it got in exchange was the Purple Jade Condor’s talons piercing deeper into the back of its head, causing it so much pain that it didn’t dare to move any more.

It would really die if it continued struggling!

Although the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon was a little reckless, how could it not be afraid when its life was at stake?

Zhang Che originally expected having to go through a lot of trouble to tame this fellow. He was all prepared; if this fellow wouldn’t give in no matter what, he’d beat it half to death and let the rainbow crystal heal it, then beat it half to death again!

He would keep repeating this like a cycle. The time would come when it couldn’t take it any longer!

However, who would’ve thought that this reckless Cold Abyss Flood Dragon would submit to him the moment it was faced with the threat of death? It lowered its head obediently in front of Zhang Che, allowing the rainbow crystal to brand its mysterious rainbow talismanic rune onto its soul, becoming Zhang Che’s third pet.

“As expected, a wise man understands and adapts to the circumstances! It looks like you’re not that hot-headed after all, not hesitating to lower your head when the situation calls for it.” {TL: Cause the dragon is cold. Ayyy!}

Zhang Che looked at the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon prostrating before him. His body was as thick as a pillar, his back green and stomach white, measuring almost eight meters long. Zhang Che had an excited smile on his face, nearly bursting out in laughter.

{TL: Since the dragon is officially Zhang Che’s pet at this point, I’ll be switching my reference from it to him.}

A-Rank potential!

Zhang Che felt immense joy every time he thought of this attribute. This represented a total of five chances of advancement! A super potential found in less than one in ten thousand!

The Cold Abyss Flood Dragon was already a silver-quality beast. If he advanced five tiers, what realm would that be? Zhang Che didn’t dare to imagine it!

He only knew that this fellow would definitely become one of his greatest powers!

“Your injuries aren’t light; you’d better get into my spiritual sea obediently to recuperate,” Zhang Che said, caressing the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon’s rather round head, and sent the beast into his spiritual sea with a thought, letting him bask in the rainbow crystal’s fog-like energy, and recover from the grave injuries he suffered.

“Zhizhi!” Seemingly feeling that he was being given the cold shoulder, the frisky monkey at his side cried out resentfully, followed by acting out the motions of chewing a pig’s trotter.

“You glutton, you’re actually jealous now!” Zhang Che slapped the frisky monkey, laughing. “Don’t be so anxious. I don’t see any exotic beasts on this mountain. Wait till Hanming is recovered and I’ll get him to catch some big fish. We’ll be having roasted fish tonight!”

{TL: Hanming is the flood dragon. His official species is called a Han Ming Jiao.}

“Zhizhi, zhizhi!” Although he had no idea what his owner meant by roasted fish, the frisky monkey’s instincts told him that it was sure to be something very delicious!
