Of course, whether there was meat to eat could be left for later. What was important right now was to get rid of the trouble that was the Tian Yin Squad.
Although Zhang Che could use the Myriad Transformation Lizard card to change his face countless times, there was only one Hanxue.
Thus, even if he transformed himself into a triad boss in ladywear, the Tian Yin Squad would immediately suspect him when Hanxue was revealed.
Therefore, Zhang Che continued suppressing his desire to visit his mother after returning to Qian Wei City, and headed to the suburbs, crossing the spatial gateway.
Wanting to find the Tian Yin Squad in this vast beast world was of course, impossible. Zhang Che didn’t have any thoughts of finding them by himself, either.
After all, his current objective was to kill exotic beasts and raise his beastmaster tier. He didn’t have the time to waste on others.
Even so, the Tian Yin Squad would probably not let go of this matter so easily.
From Wang Dong’s experience, he knew that these people weren’t kind souls.
Since that was the case, the earlier he got rid of this trouble, the earlier he could build up his strength without worries, preparing to venture deeper into the beast world to look for a healing-type exotic beast.
His mother’s illness wasn’t something he could afford to delay. Three years might seem like a very long time, but it was also a very short amount.
How could he resolve this issue with the Tian Yin Squad? Naturally, the simplest way was to have the other party annihilated.
Zhang Che’s plan was to use himself as bait, exposing himself to the eyes of the Tian Yin Squad and luring them into ambushing him once more. That way, he could turn the tables on them in one fell swoop, reverse-killing them perfectly.
-Is this considered entrapment?- This strange thought found its way into Zhang Che’s heart. He directly summoned Hanxue in the safety zone and mounted him, trotting off to the west unhurriedly.
The moment Hanxue appeared, his vigorous scarlet figure drew the attention of everyone around them.
“That looks like an Elephorse, but doesn’t it seem a little different from ordinary ones?”
“No kidding! Have you ever seen such a majestic Elephorse? If I’m not wrong, that is definitely a king among the Elephorses; it’s at least twice as fast as ordinary ones!”
“I’m so jealous… It’d be great if I also had a mount-type subdued beast like that. There’d be nowhere I couldn’t go in this vast beast world!”
“Tsk! You’re thinking too much. Even if you really had an Elephorse king, would you dare to go deep into the beast world? I guarantee that there’ll be countless powerful exotic beasts jumping at you!”
Feeling the different gazes from all around him, Zhang Che couldn’t help but curl his lips into a smug smile.
-As long as the Tian Yin Squad left someone here in the safety zone, or they asked someone to gather information about him, surely there’ll be some actions taken after this, right?
-I’m really looking forward to your arrival!-
Zhang Che’s guess was spot on. Not long after he left the safety zone, two ordinary-looking men started conversing in low voices in the crowd, and soon one of them dashed toward the spatial gateway, while the other Summoned a mount-type subdued beast and followed Zhang Che from a distance.
Naturally, the Tian Yin Squad would not search for Zhang Che in the beast world aimlessly. Such an act was too stupid; if they were unlucky, they might not even find him after a few months.
Waiting in the safety zone was the much smarter choice. Most beastmasters were unable to survive in the depths of the beast world for long periods of time. One of the key reasons was food.
Unless they were those top-tier beastmasters who could easily snatch food from the hands of exotic beasts, they didn’t have the capability to survive in the beast world for extended periods.
As for Zhang Che, it was obviously impossible for him to be a top-tier beastmaster.
The truth was, the Tian Yin Squad’s men discovered Zhang Che’s traces in the safety zone last night. However, due to the army’s directive – ‘No one is allowed to battle within the safety zone for whatever reason. Anyone who violates said directive would be killed without mercy’ – they didn’t dare to make a move against him.
When they followed Zhang Che out of the safety zone, they discovered that this guy was extremely wary and moved around in places with many people, not giving them a chance to take action.
What made the Tian Yin Squad crazy in the end was that the men they sent out, all experts in tailing, actually lost their target!
How could they freaking take this lying down!?
Thus, the Tian Yin Squad sent people back to the safety zone while they gathered information on Zhang Che in Qian Wei City in the dark, in case he snuck back. As expected, today they saw that godly steed, which left a deep impression on them before.
Although Zhang Che’s current appearance was slightly different from yesterday, the Tian Yin Squad’s men were able to recognize his figure and features, identifying this guy in an instant as the same kid from yesterday!
They didn’t think much about the slight difference in appearance, chalking it up to him intentionally disguising himself to avoid detection.
In order to bait them, Zhang Che spent much thought on this as well. The appearance he used today was quite similar to his appearance in his previous life.
Despite doing so much preparation, Zhang Che was unsure if the Tian Yin Squad would pursue him. To ensure things went in his favor, he had Hanxue maintain his speed from before, slowly advancing further into the beast world unhurriedly.
He had it all planned out. If the Tian Yin Squad didn’t catch up to him by the end of today, he’d ignore this matter for the time being and spend all his efforts on hunting exotic beasts. He wanted to see how destructive the Gluttony Monkey would be after being equipped with the Falling Star Model X.
It was regrettable that he couldn’t confirm whether the Tian Yin Squad was tracking him. Despite having a super strong bow in his arsenal, he didn’t dare to bring it out and let the Gluttony Monkey use it.
If the Tian Yin Squad gained knowledge of it, how was he supposed to continue playing this baiting game?
Although he couldn’t bring out the Falling Star Model X, the opposite held true with regards to the Large-Beaked Raven. Zhang Che wanted to see how useful this scouting beast he had bought was.
With a thought, a streak of grey light shot out from his spiritual sea, materializing into a black raven with a large beak and a wingspan slightly over a meter wide, soaring into the skies above.
-The heck, it looks so freaking ugly!,- Zhang Che cursed inwardly as he looked up, watching this Large-Beaked Raven already a hundred meters high, executing its scouting mission dutifully.
-Come on, fly around, and show me how wide your patrol range is.-
If the Large-Beaked Raven remained above his head, it could only see in a one-kilometer radius. It truly wasn’t satisfactory. As such, Zhang Che wanted to see if this fellow could fly further away from him, broadening the scouting area by a tad bit.
After receiving Zhang Che’s order, the Large-Beaked Raven flew out loyally as directed, cruising around with Zhang Che as its center.
-This freaking scam of a beast! No wonder it only cost fifty thousand Alliance dollars!- Zhang Che stared with his mouth agape, watching as the Large-Beaked Raven flew in an arc less than five hundred meters away, scouting diligently. Thousands of swear words immediately rose in his mind, not knowing how to express them all.
