The Poison Fire Twin-Headed Dragon was fast, but it wasn’t faster than the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon.
Although both of them had the word dragon in their names, which one of them was the real dragon was visible with just a glance.
Zhang Che was already making guesses if the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon could break through legend-quality in the future, would his flying speed surpass the sound of speed?
It would be awesome if that was true. The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon would totally become a biological supersonic mount!
At that time, was there anywhere in the vast world he couldn’t go?
Well, naturally he was referring to the Mercury world…
In the beast worlds, where danger lurked everywhere, he couldn’t roam about as he pleased, even if the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s strength broke through legend-quality. What if he encountered a divine-quality exotic beast? He couldn’t run even if he wanted to.
Zhang Che had the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon control his speed, catching up to the Poison Fire Twin-Headed Dragon unhurriedly as he thought of the terrifying divine bird he had discovered in the west of the beast world, behind Qian Wei City’s spatial gateway. -I wonder what level and quality is that big bird I saw in the past with golden snakes of lightning all over its body. It should be divine-quality at least, right?-
That was a terrifying existence that could leave you prostrating on the ground with a single glance. Even a real dragon could only run for its life.
Was that level of strength really only at divine-quality?
Although Zhang Che didn’t understand the true powers of a divine-quality exotic beast, when compared to that divine bird, his subdued beasts and pets, be it the Purple Crystal Tortoise or the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon ahead of him, they were only ant-like existences before it! The difference between them was simply too great…
While the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon gave chase unhurriedly, the Poison Fire Twin-Headed Dragon ahead was flying with all its strength, wishing that it had another pair of wings or two to help it escape.
Although it hated Zhang Che for stealing its eggs and destroying its nest, his army of powerful babies had left a deep impression on it. It knew that there was totally no hope of victory against this man by itself.
Although an exotic beast’s intelligence was inferior to a human’s, it wouldn’t be as dumb as a pig, either. It could still assess the situation sensibly. Only someone sick in the head would insist on fighting despite knowing it spelled defeat.
A mid-tier high quality exotic beast definitely wouldn’t be sick in the head!
“Ahh, I wonder if the two Poison Fire Twin-Headed Dragons laid any more eggs over the past few days?” Zhang Che swallowed uncontrollably when he thought of the benefits the two dragon eggs brought him. For a glutton like him, the attractiveness of a delicacy that was both delicious and strengthened him was simply indescribable.
———-
The chase went on for over a hundred kilometers.
The mountains under them flashed by. The peaks ahead gradually grew unusually steep.
Looking down from the sky, the vegetation on the mountains in this area grew scarcer and scarcer. What took their place was large areas of greyish-brown mountain rock.
The whole area was like an enlarged version of a rock forest.
Zhang Che felt that something wasn’t quite right. There wouldn’t be many exotic beasts moving around in this area. For them to build a nest here, it wouldn’t be easy for them to hunt for food.
Moreover, if their nest was really in this area, the other Poison Fire Twin-Headed Dragon would surely have noticed his presence by now. It was impossible for it to not have showed up by now.
While he suspected something, the Poison Fire Twin-Headed Dragon ahead suddenly tilted itself up, flying higher into the air, its speed suddenly rising greatly, as if it were trying to throw something off its tail as fast as possible.
-What’s going on with that guy?- Just as he thought that, Zhang Che suddenly felt a massive pull from the surrounding space. His body seemed to become ten times heavier all of a sudden, and even the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon was caught unprepared and nearly plunged down.
Subjected to this pull all over his body, Zhang Che’s organs felt terrible. He almost had to lay directly on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s back.
If it wasn’t for the fact that his physique was over ten times stronger than normal humans, perhaps his bones would snap in half after being subjected to this sudden pull.
-What is that!?- Just as Zhang Che was feeling astonished, a concentrated spread of large stalagmites shot their way at an unimaginable speed.
The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon sensed the danger, and hurriedly rose higher.
Alas, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon was also affected by that pull. He couldn’t adapt to it in such a short time, and his reaction time was slowed down considerably as a result.
Bang! A loud noise rang out. The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s midriff was struck by a large stalagmite. A hole appeared in his crystallized body, so big the dragon was nearly broken in half.
Abyssal aura gushed out from the wound. The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon tried his hardest to fly higher as he repaired his wounded body. Meanwhile, Zhang Che was so scared that his back was soaked in a layer of cold sweat.
He realized that this time he was set up and almost done in by a beast!
-How embarrassing! If I knew this would happen, I would have had the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon catch up faster and directly get rid of that Poison Fire Twin-Headed Dragon. What was I thinking, trying to catch them all in one fell swoop?
-Although, what exactly is in here, it’s actually able to control the gravity in a certain area!-
This kind of ability was simply unthinkable!
Raising his head, Zhang Che realized the Poison Fire Twin-Headed Dragon had already flown far away. It was now only a tiny black dot in the distance.
-Thinking of running away after setting me up? No such thing!- Zhang Che’s rage erupted. He directly ordered the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon to raise their altitude, leaving this area with the strange gravity field.
At this moment, a ripple seemed to spread out from the steepest peak of the mountains underneath them. A huge human-shaped creature stood up on the rocks on the peak.
The creature was shaped like a human, its body several dozen meters tall. Its body was made up of stones, its head bald, with only two large diamond-like eyes, and it was looking directly at Zhang Che and the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon.
-Danger!- Zhang Che felt an inexplicable chill in his heart, his hair standing on end.
In the next moment, a streak of light flowed up from the giant stone man’s feet, forming a large rock spear in its hand in the blink of an eye.
A soundless, furious roar rang out. The giant stone man took a step forward and heaved with its right hand violently. The dozen-meter-long rock spear shot forth like a bolt of lightning, shooting towards the airborne Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon.
The two were only a few hundred meters apart. The long spear arrived in an instant.
However, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon had finally gotten used to the gravity field around him. Although it was already too late to dodge the oncoming rock spear, he managed to twist his body aside at the last moment.
Bang! An explosion rang out. The huge rock spear scraped by the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s side, directly pulverizing one of his crystallized hind claws.
“Hurry, leave this cursed place! I’m going to skin that Poison Fire Twin-Headed Dragon alive!” Zhang Che roared with a savage expression. The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon didn’t care about its powderized claw and directly fled from the gravity field around them. After quickly rising high into the air, they flew in pursuit of the nearly escaped Poison Fire Twin-Headed Dragon.
