Seeing the gorgeous, majestic Scarlet Flame Drake before him, Zhang Che couldn’t put it together with that scorched, dead dog image he saw briefly that day.
This fellow faintly resembled a fierce dog, its fur golden-scarlet in color. Its mane, extending down its back all the way to its tail was especially eye-catching, swaying without any wind, exuding a mighty presence.
Its sides were decorated with golden spots, and it had two sharp, curved horns on its head. In addition, its sharp claws looked breathtaking, not to mention the faint scarlet flames dancing around its body...
It was comparable to the divine beasts of legends!
What gave Zhang Che the most satisfaction was the Scarlet Flame Drake’s skill: Liquifying Scarlet Flames. Its might was simply frightening!
Wu Yunfeng was wearing a three-star dark gold-quality hard armor, and yet it couldn’t withstand the horrifying skill for even one second before turning into ashes, scattering to the wind.
With such a powerful subdued beast, Zhang Che finally had the capability to keep himself safe!
Even Wu Yunfeng, a Tier Six beastmaster with an army of powerful subdued beasts, was easily slain!
Despite the fact that Wu Yunfeng was caught off guard, leading to him getting killed instantly by the Scarlet Flame Drake’s skill, Zhang Che was sure that Wu Yunfeng wouldn’t survive even if he was on guard, unless he used his flying beast to escape immediately.
“What a pity. That guy’s beasts were all top grade ones, especially that Soul-Sucking Bugle Horn that could attack one spiritually. It was worth a fortune!”
However, Zhang Che didn’t feel any regrets. Wu Yunfeng’s death had proved that one mustn’t be too greedy. Those who were too greedy died early deaths!
Zhang Che being able to turn the tables at the crucial moment and escape this ordeal unscathed was more important than anything else. As for Wu Yunfeng’s beast cards, were they better than his own army of subdued beasts and pets?
Zhang Che still felt some lingering fear when he thought of that short exchange earlier.
The Soul-Sucking Bugle Horn’s spiritual attack was truly frightening, he was unable to guard against it. If it wasn’t for the rainbow crystal in his spiritual sea helping him out at the crucial moment, Zhang Che might not have endured the pain of his soul being tormented, and begged for mercy.
Zhang Che believed that Wu Yunfeng must have used this spiritual attack-type beast card to rob other beastmasters of their beast cards many times. Who knew how much human blood had stained his hands?
“Luckily the Purple Jade Condor’s team made it in time!”
At the crucial moment, the Purple Jade Condor’s team killed enough exotic beasts in the nick of time, and Zhang Che rose to Tier Four, giving him the opportunity to activate the Scarlet Flame Drake card and turn the tables.
They should be given huge merits for their work!
As Zhang Che thought of this, the Purple Jade Condor came flying back like a purple bolt of lightning, holding the Fiery Scorpion and Gale Wolf King in its talons.
Zhang Che turned his head to look, instantly overjoyed to see them.
Other than the Purple Jade Condor’s talons, which were holding onto the other two beasts, their free pincers, claws, and mouths, were all holding onto beast cards of various colors.
They were truly good children of his; thanks to their daddy teaching them about frugality, they actually brought back all the beast cards!
Hmm, they should be given a huge reward!
Just as the overjoyed Zhang Che was about to set off for the area where he found the Vampiric Demon Carpet yesterday, to look for that exotic beast that dared to snatch his food away, he suddenly remembered that he still had another powerful beast!
Zhang Che reached out for his backpack again and fished out a golden beast card. He held it between his palms and quickly triggered spiritual resonance with it, summoning it.
Bam!
A loud thud rang out as a huge greyish-brown tortoise shell crashed into the ground, laying there quietly like a gigantic stone pillbox.
Immediately after, four claws extended out from the holes of the pillbox, lifting it off the ground. Following that, a foot-long tortoise head extended out as well, looking at Zhang Che with rounded eyes rather curiously.

“A huge beast like you is actually trying to act cute!” Zhang Che was speechless, facepalming himself.
However, this fellow’s body was truly huge; it was even bigger than a compact car. One look at its shell, which was covered with profound patterns, and you knew it was extremely tough.
This is definitely a moving fort!
Zhang Che looked at the four-star gold-quality Rock Tortoise with interest, and told it to demonstrate its offensive power. “Here, here, we’ll only know how strong are your defenses in the future. Show me your rock projectile attack first, and your skill after. Let’s see how much of a difference in power there is between single shot and continuous shots.”
The Rock Tortoise nodded, and then... it ran straight towards a huge mountain rock...
Zhang Che was baffled. -I asked you to demonstrate your attacks; why did you run there for?-
Before Zhang Che’s confused gaze, the Rock Tortoise ran as fast as it could... and came up to that huge rock. Well, this fellow truly lived up to its slow movement speed. Despite running with all its strength, its speed was barely a dozen miles an hour; it truly left one feeling impatient.
In the next moment, the Rock Tortoise suddenly opened its mouth, producing an invisible suction force. The huge rock, which was about a dozen cubic meters in size, was actually sucked towards the Rock Tortoise’s mouth. As it was about to slam into its face, it suddenly disappeared!
-What the heck?- Zhang Che rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he just saw.
Although the huge rock disappeared very quickly, Zhang Che saw everything clearly. At that moment, the space around the huge rock caved in, and the huge rock suddenly turned into a tiny black dot and flew into the Rock Tortoise’s mouth.
Zhang Che finally understood what was going on. It turned out that this fellow needed to replenish its ammunition, or it couldn’t launch an attack! However, the way it replenished its ammunition was truly a little too shocking!
-Wait a minute...-
A flash of inspiration struck Zhang Che. Just as he wanted to grab hold of it, it disappeared without a trace, leaving him like the frisky monkey, scratching his head. He was so anxious that he nearly had a heart attack.
“The heck... what did I just freaking think of?”
Humans were often like that. The harder you tried to recall something, the more evasive it was...
