Zhang Che cleaned the corpses of the huge shark-like exotic beasts down by the lake shore, removing their heads, innards, bones and other things, carving off large pieces of milky white meat.
Seeing the meat, Zhang Che felt like he had made the correct choice this time. It went without saying that the exotic beast meat would surely be delicious!
If he had chosen to kill those exotic beasts personally, he’d only have gotten a few useless six-star dark gold-quality beast cards, and he would have missed out on this feast!
“Hmm, I should look around in the waters to find more of this kind of water-based exotic beasts that can’t leave the water. No matter how strong they are, it’s not as good as killing them and eating them!”
Thinking of his plans, Zhang Che stowed all the meat into the Nirvana Snake King spatial storage equipment, then quickly walked over to the elevated lands to the side.
The elemental queen had prepared everything. When Zhang Che was done skewering the large fish fillets with bone spikes and stabbed them into the tough soil, faint flames gushed out from the elemental queen’s palms, grilling the sides of the meat.
As the fire burned hotter, drops of oil oozed out from the fish meat. An exotic fragrance started spreading.
Zhang Che and the frisky monkey were both sitting quietly at the side, their noses twitching at the same time, drunken looks showing on their faces.
That fragrance was truly too unique, as expected of water-based high-quality exotic beasts! The meat’s aroma was indeed different from land and aerial creatures!
A long string of saliva flowed out from the frisky monkey’s slightly opened mouth. As it was about to hit the ground, he sucked in back in hard, slurping his saliva back into his mouth.
Seeing this, Zhang Che felt goosebumps rising all over his body. That fellow was indeed disgusting!
If it were the past, seeing the frisky monkey’s action would make Zhang Che feel the monkey was a little stupidly cute. But now that the frisky monkey was over two meters tall and had an ugly apish appearance, the sight of it was a little too much. Others did not dare to look at it directly.
Zhang Che decided to shift his attention away, or else he wouldn’t have the appetite to eat later.
Seeing the fish fillets were about to be cooked, Zhang Che immediately took out some spiritual honey and applied a thin layer of it to the meat with well-practiced moves.
Suddenly, a fragrance that tempted people to swallow their own tongues erupted. Zhang Che could no longer control himself, either. Saliva poured out from his mouth.
The only person who could remain normal was only the elemental queen, who was grilling the meat. After all, her body had a unique composition. Food was optional to her, and she wouldn’t be greedy for this kind of thing.
Soon, the fish fillets were all grilled golden yellow, the aroma extremely thick.
“Master, the meat is done!” the elemental queen said, retracting her flames.
“Baba, I want eat, I want eat!”
Before Zhang Che could do anything, the frisky monkey could no longer hold back and stood up looking at the grilled meat, his desire apparent on his face.
At this moment, a wave of commotion was suddenly heard from their surroundings.
Zhang Che, who was about to dig in, turned his head and looked around, immediately stunned at the sight.
With the hill they were on as the center, all kinds of exotic beasts were closing in on their location from all directions, their glowing eyes staring at Zhang Che’s group.
The grilled meat’s fragrance was too thick, and they were situated in the depths of the beast world. Naturally the stronger exotic beasts in the area were all drawn to it!
“Looks like this fish fillet is really a heavenly delicacy. It actually lured so many exotic beasts here!”
Zhang Che was a little angry inside. He was just about to enjoy his meal when so many unwanted guests suddenly came and ruined the atmosphere.
However, thinking from another perspective, he would need to spend quite a bit of effort to hunt so many exotic beasts. Now that they had gathered here of their own accord, it turned out to be a positive thing after all!
“It seems we don’t get to eat for now. Let’s do our work first.” Zhang Che ignored the resentful looks from the frisky monkey. He summoned the Purple Crystal Tortoise out and put all the grilled meat away first. Afterwards, he summoned the Scarlet Flame Drake and the Earthen Rock Demon with a wave of his hand, ready to do battle.
After completing that series of actions, Zhang Che blinked a few times. -Not right. The bait is put away; what if the exotic beasts run away?-
As such, he had the Purple Crystal Tortoise bring out the grilled meat again, then took out the Falling Star Model X Mk III and tossed it over to the frisky monkey.
“Come, show me how this bow fares in actual battle!”
Zhang Che had not found a chance to let the frisky monkey use the real superstrong bow since he had obtained it. Previously, he had been going around hunting exotic beasts, and in order to keep the frisky monkey from danger, he never let him try it out.
Now that he and his babies were all keeping watch on this hill, the frisky monkey’s safety was guaranteed. It was a good chance to let him test and see exactly how powerful the bow was.
“Kill, kill, kill!”
Let alone not being able to eat, he even had to work! The frisky monkey’s bitterness could well be imagined. He could only vent all his rage on those exotic beasts. He quickly nocked a custom alloy arrow on the bow, then drew the Falling Star Model X Mk III into a full moon shape and took aim at an exotic beast a few hundred meters away, letting loose his finger.
Weng! A violent note immediately reverberated in the air. Just as the noise rose, the big head of that exotic beast a few hundred meters away exploded. Flesh and blood spattered everywhere. Nothing above its neck remained.
Zhang Che was overjoyed at the sight. He quickly ordered the frisky monkey, “Not bad. Pick a stronger exotic beast next.”
Using the Falling Star Model X Mk III, which had a maximum draw strength of about twenty thousand kilograms, to hunt mid-tier exotic beasts was simply like using a butcher’s knife to kill a chicken.
At the same time, in order to prevent the exotic beasts that had been drawn here from escaping, Zhang Che ordered his subdued beasts and pets to immediately start their killing sprees.
Those who couldn’t wade into the water were ordered to stay on the hill and use their long-range attacks, while those who could move freely in the water were to immediately move out and strive to keep most of the exotic beasts here.
They were all experience points that came knocking on his door on their own. Zhang Che didn’t want to see them go to waste.
While the powerful subdued beasts and pets began their onslaught, the frisky monkey’s eyes were locked onto an exotic beast a few hundred meters to their front with a fierce aura.
Just by his senses, the frisky monkey could tell that this exotic beast wasn’t weak. At the very least, it was at legend-quality. He let loose of the bowstring once more. Another violent vibration rang out. The custom made metal alloy arrow instantly crossed hundreds of meters and struck that exotic beast’s head accurately.
This time, the exotic beast’s head didn’t explode like the frisky monkey’s previous target. It was a mid-tier legend-quality exotic beast, after all. Its defense was significantly higher.
However, the Falling Star Model X Mk III’s attack power was still too high. Paired with the custom made metal alloy arrow, its damage had increased several fold!
A miserable cry was heard. Although the exotic beast felt the danger and tried to dodge, it was struck on its cheek regardless. A fist-sized hole was punched through its face, fresh blood gushing out from the wound madly.
After suffering such a heavy hit, the amphibious-type exotic beast directly jumped to the side, wanting to hide under the water there.
However, a few more sharp sonic booms rang out in the air consecutively. The frisky monkey moved his right hand about, shooting three arrows in succession. They arrived at their target near simultaneously, every one of them landing accurately on the exotic beast’s body.
Two of the arrows left two more fist-sized holes on the exotic beast’s body. The last arrow struck its chest, directly punching through and shattering its heart.
Despite being at legend-quality, the exotic beast could only struggle for a few moments after falling into the water before no further movements could be seen from it, leaving only a spread of bloody red water.
“Not bad. According to the strength it is showing, even a mid-tier epic-quality exotic beat will find it difficult to withstand the Falling Star Model X’s attack!”
Zhang Che smiled widely as he looked on from the side. His efforts weren’t in vain. After equipping the frisky monkey with the Falling Star Model X Mk III, his fighting strength had directly risen to epic level!
