Everyone started to feel their blood boiling. They had waited three whole days for this moment’s arrival.

Although these three days seemed to have passed by very quickly, everyone felt that this kind of suffering and waiting would drive them crazy. Now that they could finally enter the secret plane, who wouldn’t be eager to?

However, before the defense perimeter was lifted, the beastmasters were given a strict warning!

No one was allowed to lay a finger on their fellow humans when they advanced into the area ahead, even if they were from other continents. You could do nothing to save others, but you mustn’t make a move yourself!

If you discovered your enemies among the beastmasters, or got into a conflict, it was no problem; you could settle the grudges yourselves after entering the secret plane!

If anyone dared to make a move on their fellow humans before entering the secret plane, then sorry, not only did you have to worry about your life afterwards, your backers would also be severely punished!

——

The final half hour seemed to pass incredibly slowly.

Zhang Che stood within the crowd, resting with his eyes closed.

Time slowly ticked by. Suddenly, a wave of engines starting roared out. The defensive perimeter made up of countless cars suddenly opened, revealing the snowy plains ahead to those at the camp.

“Move out!” someone from the crowd yelled out after a short silence, charging forward as he Summoned his subdued beasts.

With someone taking the lead, the beastmasters in the campsite were like a wave, surging forward as if afraid of falling behind.

All sorts of subdued beasts appeared one after another for a period of time.

The tide formed by the subdued beasts were much grander looking than the beastmasters. All kinds of beast cries meshed together, like a mixed symphony, alarming the exotic beasts on the snowy plains ahead.

In such situations, it would be fastest to move forward by riding on flying beasts. However, in that one thousand kilometer radius area, gods knew how many powerful exotic beasts there were. Everyone was warned by their families before coming here. No one wanted to die early; flying was definitely not an option.

Zhang Che walked at the back of the crowd, not in a hurry. He only Summoned the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, which circled around him.

At this moment, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s advantage could be seen. He was a flying beast, but he didn’t need to beat his wings to fly freely.

If Zhang Che wanted to, he could ride on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon and fly close to the ground, crossing the secret plane’s gateway before anyone else.

Of course, the situation ahead was unknown. Zhang Che wouldn’t be so silly as to charge at the front, If he accidentally walked into an epic-quality or even divine-quality’s Domain just because he wanted to save that little bit of time, it would truly be like giving his life away for nothing.

Obviously, there were many others who had the same idea as Zhang Che.

The beastmasters around him were all following behind others at an unhurried pace, intent on letting others pave the way for them.

However, none of them were actually stupid. Naturally those at the front didn’t want to act as foot soldiers and clear landmines for those behind. They had their own strategy too: to try their best to pull the distance between them and those behind apart before they encountered any powerful exotic beasts.

How vast was an area of a thousand kilometer radius? Even though the beastmasters came from all over the world to vie for the resources in the secret plane, they were but a drop in the ocean in the big picture. Once they went deep into the area, it would be hard for the beastmasters to even bump into another.

After all, without a certain level of strength, no one would dare to come and forfeit their lives so easily, yet the number of truly strong mid-tier beastmasters wouldn’t be too high.

——

Gradually, the number of people around Zhang Che grew fewer and fewer.

At the same time, Zhang Che slowly summoned his capable subdued beasts one by one.

Naturally, he wouldn’t summon a beast as huge as the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus. Otherwise, his loud rumbling footsteps would be as good as a signal to the exotic beasts, informing them that meat was coming to their doorstep, please come over quickly!

As such, other than the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, Zhang Che only summoned the Purple Crystal Tortoise, Scarlet Flame Drake, and Unicorn.

Even so, his current lineup was among one of the best of the entire crowd of beastmasters who were participating in the opening of the secret plane.

Gradually, no one else could be seen around Zhang Che, and all kinds of exotic beasts appeared around him.

However, Zhang Che didn’t have the time to deal with these trash, forcibly charging his way forward. If there were any exotic beasts that didn’t know what was good for them, it didn’t matter, either. The Scarlet Flame Drake and the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon would teach them a lesson on how to be a person... oh, not right. It was how to be a beast!

In this harsh cold, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s offensive ability was amplified to a certain extent. Not many of the exotic beasts in the outer area could withstand a stream of frozen air from him.

The Scarlet Flame Drake was even more amazing. Now that its normal attacks contained a strong fire element to them, it was simply a bane to these exotic beasts that lived in these snowy plains the whole year round.

Forward, forward, forward! They advanced toward the secret plane’s gateway!

——

They swept their way forward. Gradually, the number of exotic beasts decreased, but their level and quality rose. Zhang Che had no choice but to slow his pace.

The terrain ahead was starting to become more complicated, too. At this moment, Zhang Che had entered a dense mountain forest.

-Hopefully my luck is on the better side; don’t let me bump into an epic-quality exotic beast or greater, or it’ll be troublesome,- Zhang Che prayed silently as he slowly moved forward.

Perhaps the gods really heard his prayers. He really didn’t encounter many powerful exotic beasts going forward. The strongest of them was only a six-star gold-quality large bear. The Scarlet Flame Drake rushed at it and killed it shortly afterwards, providing Zhang Che with a bunch of meat.

Although Huang Juyun had prepared sufficient compressed biscuits and meat jerky for Zhang Che in that bracelet, he was worried that he might not be able to find any source of food after entering the secret plane. In order to make sure he wouldn’t go hungry, it was better to have as much prepared as possible.

In any case, the food wouldn’t go bad in the Purple Crystal Tortoise’s storage. It could be kept for as long as needed, not to mention its large storage space. There was no worry that he would go hungry.

This jungle was full of dense trees. The satellites in outer space couldn’t capture what was happening there at all. As such, Zhang Che happily had the Purple Crystal Tortoise open its mouth and stored the large bear in its spatial pocket.

That bear weighed slightly over two tons; enough for Zhang Che to eat for over half a month.

“What a pity. I prefer beast cards... If it was possible to obtain beast cards by killing exotic beasts on Mercury, just the beast cards I would have obtained on the way into the secret plane would have earned me a fortune, even if I didn’t gain much inside the secret plane itself,” Zhang Che sighed in disappointment. Afterwards, he continued directing his babies, still moving ahead.
