Divine Beast Adventures-Chapter 576 That Comet-Like Streak of Dark Red

Edited by Aelryinth

A loud rumbling came from behind, scaring Zhang Che so much his heart nearly jumped out of his throat.

Heavens knew how many terrifying creatures were chasing him right now. Zhang Che knew the nights in the beast worlds were very dangerous, and he had never tried challenging it.

Even though he had moved during nighttime before, he did so in areas where it wasn't dangerous. Even if exotic beasts appeared, they weren't very powerful.

This time was different, however.

This was an area where epic-quality exotic beasts appeared often. Let alone nighttime, it was extremely dangerous even during the day! Zhang Che had to worry about his safety.

Fortunately, he hadn't gone deep into the area earlier. When night arrived, he had turned around in time and quickly flown out of the mountain range. Although he was surprised, he managed to escape safely.

-Ah, I have to adjust the time on my mechanical watch. I absolutely can't go deep into dangerous areas at night. I got lucky this time, but there's no guarantee next time…- Zhang Che thought, still feeling some lingering fear inside as he looked back at the endless darkness behind him. He took out a mechanical watch from his spatial storage without hesitation, and adjusted the time by estimation, then summoned out the Purple Crystal Tortoise to dig out a mountain cave to rest in.

The scarlet golden light provided by the Scarlet Flame Drake illuminated the spacious cave. Zhang Che was missing the days of having the elemental queen at his side, roasting meat while he was bored.

This time, Zhang Che hadn't brought her along. He left her behind in Hua Xia to protect Huang Tielan in secret.

The elemental queen wasn't weak, and outsiders had no idea of her existence. With the flame specialist protecting Huang Tielan in the dark, even if their enemies sent out powerful forces to ambush the Huang family, their home wouldn't be in any danger.

\"But, after getting used to eating the meat roasted by her, my skills seem bad no matter how I look at it. How am I supposed to swallow what I cooked later!?\"

Although Zhang Che's skill at roasting meat could be considered passable, it was simply like heaven and earth compared to the elemental queen's!

---

The night went by silently. When the endless darkness was instantly washed away and the beast world had turned bright once more, Zhang Che woke up in the cave on time.

He didn't have to check the time. With his natural instincts, he was able to tell a new day had started.

He was going to enter that primitive forest again to help Huang Tielan find a suitable beast card armor. Of course, it'd be great to obtain some decent beast cards as well! No one would ever complain about having too much good stuff.

Zhang Che followed the route he had taken yesterday, setting off for the vast primitive land. He was determined to not draw attention today.

As such, he had the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon try his best to conceal his aura and stick close to the bushes, grass, and any vegetation on the ground, moving forward carefully.

There were not only large amounts of huge ferocious beasts in this area, but poisonous exotic beasts weren't few in number, either. However, the poisonous exotic beasts weren't strong across the board. Due to their fear of the faint icy aura coming from the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, they didn't dare to come close and attack. Some of them even fled far away to hide themselves.

The weaker a creature was, the better their instincts and sense of danger was. Zhang Che watched a several-meters-long large centipede with dark golden carapace flash past and quickly burrow into the soil.

Zhang Che couldn't help but lament inside, -What a pity. This type of centipede looks really delicious. If I let Hanming hunt it and remove its carapace, the meat inside is sure to be nice and tender. It should be an incredibly delicious food, whether I roasted it or fried it.-

This time, Zhang Che's main objective was to find an armor-type beast card. He didn't want to waste too much time here, or he might really have gone after the centipede and dug three feet into the ground to drag it out.

---

After half an hour of moving carefully, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon finally crossed the intersecting area of the mountain range and wild plains, entering the area with huge dinosaur exotic beasts.

The vegetation here was much richer. The bigger trees were more than ten meters in diameter, and the spread of their crowns covered more than a thousand square meters in the sky.

Zhang Che even thought that if he had enough space in his spatial storage, he could bring some of the wood back to Mercury. They were definitely top-grade materials!

\"No, I'd better go find my targets quickly and stop thinking about unnecessary things!\" Zhang Che shook his head fiercely, forcing himself to focus on his objectives and not get distracted by other things. He gathered himself and continued forward, looking for the ideal target.

Truthfully speaking, it wouldn't be easy to find a suitable armor-type beast card. After all, Huang Tielan had just made it to Tier Six beastmaster. She wouldn't be able to use the high-level ones any time soon, while six-star and below exotic beasts were mostly Original Combat Body-types. Even weapon-type ones were extremely rare, not to mention armor-types!

Fortunately, although Zhang Che didn't want to stay here for long, extending his stay to ten days or half a month was no problem. He'd have sufficient time to find what he needed.

As Zhang Che advanced deeper into the area, the exotic dinosaur beasts he encountered grew in number, and they were also getting stronger and stronger.

He didn't want to be surrounded by the dinosaurs, and he didn't go provoking those huge creatures on his own. He continued advancing carefully, having the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon fly in the direction he remembered the boundless sea was.

He was thinking that armor-type exotic beasts were usually more unique existences. Logically speaking, it was pretty unlikely for them to appear at the outskirts of the area. It'd be better if he went further in.

Going forward, the silhouettes of dinosaurs appeared ever more frequently. Even though Zhang Che didn't want to provoke any of them, he was discovered by a few dinosaurs.

More accurately speaking, it was the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon that was discovered.

Zhang Che was so small he might not even enter the eyes of those gigantic creatures. After all, there wasn't much meat on him. Those dinosaurs whose appetites were measured by hundreds of kilograms wouldn't really be interested in him.

Fights broke out inevitably.

Although Zhang Che had always chosen to move cautiously in this area, when a battle was unavoidable, he would immediately erupt with high attacking power. He didn't Summon out his other pets and subdued beasts. He and Hanming would quickly get rid of the exotic beasts that came at them, then quickly change directions without even bothering about their trophies.

They'd be ferocious when the time called for it, but they'd continue hiding like turtles when it was appropriate to do so!

After all, Zhang Che wasn't strong enough to challenge all of the dinosaurs nearby. If he was targeted by some of the more terrifying ones, it wouldn't be easy to escape safely.

------

Just like that, Zhang Che kept fighting and changing directions as the situation called for it, slowly moving deeper into the forest.

\"Hmm? What's that?\" A comet-like dark red streak of light had flashed past. He quickly followed it with his eyes.

However, the dark red streak was like an illusion, no longer visible.

He ordered the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon to change direction almost subconsciously, chasing in the direction that streak had gone.

He felt like he had come across something good!
