“What a huge loss!”
Zhang Che staggered at the moment when the Maneater Leech King turned into a streak of light, nearly losing his balance and falling down.
If he was just a tad slower with his strike earlier, that results of this battle would be entirely different.
Although all three of his subdued beasts were at silver-quality, their levels were lacking. They were helpless when facing the Maneater Leech King, who had such tough defenses.
Thus, them suffering heavy injuries was a given!
“It seems like I still lack a powerful subdued beast,” Zhang Che sighed, shaking his head. His desire to rise to a Tier Four beastmaster grew even stronger. He could only be considered powerful when the day came where he could employ the Scarlet Flame Drake.
Alas, imagining it wasn’t all that was required to become a Tier Four beastmaster. At the very least, he had to slay several hundred, if not a thousand more three-star exotic beasts to reach that goal.
Zhang Che, who had three silver-quality exotic beasts was already finding it so difficult. What about those high-tier beastmasters who were what they were today? How much time and effort did they spend, and how much danger did they experience?
Of course, all these were not problems Zhang Che had to concern himself with.
He forcefully endured his fatigue, picking up the three-star silver-quality beast card from the ground and walked towards the two other Purple-Gold Maneater Leeches writhing on the ground with his sword in hand.
The hallucination-inducing effect of the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly’s poisonous powder had a time limit. He wasn’t willing to let these two powerful fellows recover their strength and turn him into a withered man.
Light reflected off his sword twice as he swung at them. The two Purple-Gold Maneater Leeches that were gradually recovering their mobility were each directly sliced into two, turning into streaks of light.
What surprised Zhang Che was that one of the Purple-Gold Maneater Leeches actually dropped a beast card.
With that, Zhang Che finally got himself a big return on this battle.
Leaving the those ordinary two-star bronze-quality beast cards aside, just that one three-star silver-quality, and that two-star silver-quality card was enough to make Zhang Che feel overjoyed.
“Mmm. I can use the three-star silver-quality one myself, and keep the two-star silver-quality for Huang Tielan-”
-Wait, why do I have to keep it for Huang Tielan?- Zhang Che was confused by his own train of thought. -Shouldn’t I be selling it?-
A two-star silver-quality defensive-type beast card was worth hundreds of thousand Alliance dollars!
“I’m not really starting to like this fat chick, am I? Impossible!” Zhang Che shook his head, quickly dispelling those scary thoughts. With the Mutated Puffersword in hand, Zhang Che started going around killing the Maneater Leeches who were spread all over the area, unmoving.
The most important thing now was to seize the moment and earn money!
The bunch of Maneater Leeches incapacitated by the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly numbered close to a hundred. No matter how bad Zhang Che’s luck was, he should be able to receive around twenty beast cards after he was done harvesting their lives. That was an income of over two million dollars!
As Zhang Che continued drawings arcs through the air, the unmoving Maneater Leeches on the ground turned into streaks of light one after another. The gorgeous view was even comparable to the time when he slew an entire elephorse herd!
Zhang Che’s eyes narrowed into a slit from his smile when the final results of the battle were out.
Including his previous gains, he got a total of twenty-six two-star bronze-quality defensive-type beast cards!
Such a huge gain left Zhang Che setting his eyes further into the forest ahead, considering whether he should wait until the three subdued beasts had recovered and then go for another round.
However, considering the Maneater Leech King’s horrifying speed and offensive capability, Zhang Che shook his head apprehensively in the end. “I’d better forget it. If there is any mishap, or if there is some exotic beast in there that is even stronger than the Maneater Leech King, it’ll really become a one-way trip.”
Mmm. One should learn to be content, and mustn’t throw their life away because of greed!
Even if you had the halo of a main character over your head and were able to survive the most desperate of situations, you wouldn’t live long if you kept courting death.
Thus, Zhang Che left this forest, feeling very satisfied.
He found a deserted hillside and rested for some time. In his spiritual sea, the three beast cards fully recovered after absorbing a large amount of rainbow fog; the entire process taking less than twenty minutes.
That reinforced Zhang Che’s belief that the rainbow crystal was no ordinary object.
Under usual circumstances, beast cards would take three days at minimum to recover to peak condition after suffering such heavy injuries.
With the nourishment of the rainbow fog from the rainbow crystal, the process was hastened a hundredfold!
With a wave of his hand, three streaks of light shot out from his spiritual sea, materializing into three subdued beasts full of energy at his side. Each of them were filled with excitement.
-From the looks of it, these fellows actually want to return to the forest to get back at them?-
“Forget it; we were lucky that the Maneater Leech King’s offensive methods weren’t overly destructive. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have had the chance to return to my spiritual sea to recuperate and died on the spot, alright!?” Zhang Che disregarded his subdued beasts’ desire for battle. Instead, he fished out the three-star silver-quality beast card and held it between his palms, triggering a spiritual resonance with it.
After establishing spiritual resonance with the beast card, Zhang Che quickly placed it in his spiritual sea and branded it with his spiritual imprint. In the next moment, a mass of light enveloped his body as he willed it.
The light faded. Zhang Che looked down, and saw that he was covered in a skintight suit without any openings, the kind that removed the need to wear any other clothes from now on.
This skintight costume was similar to the Maneater Leech King’s skin. It had a purple base, with gold and silver lines all over it, forming an exquisite yet complicated pattern.
“The heck, if there’s an additional mask, there’s not much difference from Spiderman!”
Regarding the style of this defensive-type beast card, Zhang Che no longer had any energy in him to curse.
What he liked was actually armor-style protective gear. They looked really mighty, in his opinion.
-A grown man wearing a skintight suit. What the heck is up with that?
-That is especially the case for certain private areas. Isn’t it fully exposed to others’ view?-
Zhang Che reaffirmed to himself that he absolutely didn’t have that kind of hobby.
Fortunately, this beast card defensive gear could be worn on the inside, sticking to his flesh. He could still wear an additional layer of clothes over it. Otherwise, he would really die of embarrassment!
“Ugh, right, if I gave this kind of skintight attire to Huang Tielan, would she be able to accept it?”
For some unknown reasons, Zhang Che’s mind wandered back to the tall and chubby Huang Tielan mysteriously. If she wore such tight-fitting defensive gear, how impactful would that look?
-That view would surely be very beau…-
Zhang Che couldn’t help but shudder. He hurriedly shook his head, dispelling the weird thoughts in his mind.
As he shook his head, Zhang Che’s motion suddenly came to a halt, his gaze stopping at a figure running in his direction urgently.
“Wang Dong?”
Zhang Che truly didn’t expect to run into this person again in the wild. It seemed like this guy really had good fortune. He actually dared to wander out in the wild as a Tier Two beastmaster, without a powerful subdued beast at his command. He truly wasn’t afraid of death!
