After he was done with matters regarding the spiritual herbs, Zhang Che didn’t slack off at home. He started searching for information on legend-quality exotic beasts on the internet.

Thinking of preserving the exotic beast materials as perfectly as possible, Zhang Che wasn’t targeting exotic beasts in the beast world. Instead, he set his sights on legend-quality exotic beasts on Mercury.

The exotic beasts here would all leave corpses behind as long as they were killed, and he would not have to worry about the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s cold breath damaging the materials.

Although there weren’t many leathery legend-quality exotic beasts on Mercury, that was only relative to ordinary exotic beasts. After all, hunting those exotic beasts wouldn’t earn the hunters any beast cards. Many high-tier beastmasters wouldn’t target them. They’d rather go to the beast worlds to hunt exotic beasts; the gains there were far more worth the risk.

As long as the legend-quality exotic beasts on Mercury didn’t go near human settlements and threaten them, very few people would be willing to provoke them.

After all, when an exotic beast’s quality tier reached legend and higher, their defense against firearms reached a very high level. Even large missiles weren’t guaranteed to be able to kill them.

After entering a few key phrases in his personal terminal’s search engine, a large amount of information soon appeared before Zhang Che. After all, those legend-quality exotic beasts were extremely threatening to most beastmasters. Many people and organizations chose to share the information publicly after discovering the whereabouts of legend-quality exotic beasts.

“Looks like it won’t be difficult to find a suitable legend-quality exotic beast.”

Seeing the amount of information available, although Zhang Che wasn’t certain whether they were true, he knew that there was hope of finding the materials to craft the superstrong bow for the frisky monkey.

“A tiger-like exotic beast in northwest Nanyang’s mountain; its strength seems to be at legend-quality, perhaps even epic-quality? Useless. There shouldn’t be any useful materials for crafting bow limbs on a tiger-like exotic beast.

“In the depths of Miaoling, southern Hua Xia, a legend-quality pangolin-like exotic beast... This can be excluded as well. Let alone the difficulty in capturing pangolin-like exotic beasts, even if they were killed, the materials from them aren’t very useful, either...”...

—

“Hmm? This one’s not bad. Silver-Horned Flood Dragon! Flood dragon-type exotic beasts have many things in common with snake-type exotic beasts; their ribs can surely be used to craft bow limbs!

“It’s decided, then! Let’s see where it’s at... Eh? It’s actually far off near the coast in Bangziguo region. That’s it!” { TLN : Korea}

After sifting through the available information for some time, Zhang Che finally set his sights on a Silver-Horned Flood Dragon found near the coast in the Bangziguo region.

To verify the authenticity of the information, he read through a lot of other information on the internet, and finally confirmed it. There was indeed a Silver-Horned Flood Dragon in southern Bangziguo near the coast.

Due to the Silver-Horned Flood Dragon being a water-type exotic beast, in addition to it being active around the coastal area, no one had ever thought of going to hunt it, although the Koreans had discovered it since more than two years ago.

First of all, as mentioned earlier, the exotic beasts on Mercury would not drop beast cards after death. Wasting energy and effort on them was truly not worth it.

Second, the Silver-Horned Flood Dragon lived in water. Once it realized something was amiss, it would immediately dive into the sea. There was no way to chase it, let alone killing it.

As a result, although the Silver-Horned Flood Dragon had lived near the coast for years, since it had never attacked any human settlements, the Korean beastmasters closed one eye to it, not bothering with it.

Not only that, Bangziguo’s military even set up obstacles near the coastal areas, forbidding local beastmasters from going near the area, preventing them from being ambushed by the Silver-Horned Flood Dragon and losing their lives for naught.

Actually, it wasn’t considered very far to travel to that coastal area from Bei Du, only about twenty thousand kilometers. Dijiang-hao needed less than an hour to reach there. It was even closer than going to central Hua Xia.

The elemental queen had completely switched her interest, absorbed in the profoundness of Go. Thus, Zhang Che didn’t bring her with him on this journey. Moreover, the Silver-Horned Flood Dragon he was going to deal with was a water-type exotic beast. Even if the elemental queen went with him, she wouldn’t be very useful.

In that endless region of sea, let alone hunting exotic beasts, it would be pretty good if she could just protect herself!

Of course, Zhang Che was leaving Hua Xia’s borders this time, after all, and he informed Huang Juyun about it.

“What? You’re going over to Bangziguo?” Huang Juyun turned pale when he heard that. The faction from Bei Mei was precisely waiting for an opportunity like this. Couldn’t this brat just stay put for a while? What if he got into danger? If he was thousands of kilometers away, it was impossible for Hua Xia to send help in time.

“It’s fine, Uncle Huang. I’m flying over on Dijiang-hao, and I’ll return immediately after I’m done. Even if Bei Mei learned about this, I’ll be back in Hua Xia by the time they come looking for me. Nothing will happen,” Zhang Che hurriedly explained, knowing what his father-in-law was worried about.

Zhang Che had calculated the time. Going to and fro, in addition to searching and killing the Silver-Horned Flood Dragon, he would make it back tonight. The people from Bei Mei region could do nothing about it, even if they knew.

Huang Juyun muttered to himself for a while. He knew Zhang Che must have his reasons to go out. Moreover, like what Zhang Che had said, he was only going on a short journey. By the time the people from Bei Mei region reacted to this, Zhang Che would have returned to Hua Xia already.

“Alright, but you have to watch out for your own safety. Once you discover anything amiss, don’t try to show off; just try to keep yourself safe.”

Before Zhang Che left, Huang Juyun reminded him again and again to keep himself safe.

“Right, when you arrive at the airport, wait for a little while. I’ll get someone from the military to send something over to you and help you disguise Dijiang-hao.” Huang Juyun suddenly thought of something and told Zhang Che not to leave in a hurry, then contacted the military.

-Are they going to conceal Dijiang-hao?- Zhang Che roughly understood Huang Juyun’s intent. The military should have this kind of technology. They probably only needed to coat Dijiang-hao with a special layer of paint made with unique materials, and it should hide the plane from detection by satellite and radar. His safety would increase a lot!

At that time, even if the mysterious faction from Bei Mei had some influence in Bangziguo, it wouldn’t be easy for them to find Zhang Che.

After bidding farewell to Huang Juyun, Zhang Che had Liu Gang drive him to the airport. He indeed saw a military vehicle waiting there. A group of people got off the vehicle, carrying a few exquisite cases. They followed him to Dijiang-hao, and their leader said, “Mister Zhang, please open the cabin. We need to install the stealth equipment inside the aircraft.”

Zhang Che found it strange. “Huh? Isn’t it supposed to be applying a layer of stealth paint?”

The leader smiled, explaining, “We don’t have enough time for coating. Also, this is the latest stealth equipment the military has developed. There’s a very high chance of evading detection from a satellite as long as it is installed inside the plane; its stealth effects aren’t inferior to the stealth paint!”

“Oh, I’ll have to trouble you, then.”

Zhang Che didn’t understand this well, and just opened Dijiang-hao’s cabin. He watched as they started moving in a well-practiced manner.

Obviously, this wasn’t the first time they had installed this kind of stealth equipment on sky shuttles. About half an hour later, they were done with whatever they were doing. Their speed and efficiency really surprised Zhang Che.

After the installation was done, the military personnel turned on the engines and ran some tests. Upon confirming there weren’t any problems, they bade farewell to Zhang Che and quickly left the airport.

Those from the military were indeed fast in everything they did!

Zhang Che sighed inside in admiration, and went inside Dijiang-hao. He issued a series of commands to the control panel, and the super luxurious private sky shuttle glided down the runway. Afterwards, it quickly accelerated and tipped up, taking off into the air, and sped off towards the northeast.
