Chapter 188: I’m Only Passing By, Do You Believe It?

Edited by Aelryinth

After the rainbow crystal planted a rainbow talismanic rune into the depths of the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus’ soul, Zhang Che could help but clap his hands and exclaim happily, “Done deal!”

Just as he was about to recall the dying Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus into his spiritual sea, Zhang Che suddenly felt slight trembling from the earth under his feet.

“Is this for real? Another huge beast is coming over?” Zhang Che’s face paled. He hurriedly recalled the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus into his spiritual sea and quickly ran in a direction with the Scarlet Flame Drake and frisky monkey.

However, the trees were closely packed in the forest, and the grasses were taller than humans. It truly wasn’t a simple matter to run faster.

Zhang Che could feel the loud banging footsteps getting closer and closer to him.

“It seems like we won’t be able to run away!”

It was undoubtedly an extremely hard challenge to escape from these ferocious beasts who hunted for food all year long in such conditions. Zhang Che couldn’t fly either, and it was inevitable that he would leave traces on the ground, crushing some grasses under his feet…

-Wait a moment!-

-Fly!-

Zhang Che’s eyes suddenly shone. He recalled both the Gluttony Monkey and Scarlet Flame Drake into his spiritual sea. After that, he carried both bows on his shoulder and aimed the Rotten Ent Prowler whip at the crown of a tree at the side, pulling himself up.

Of course, this wasn’t enough. Zhang Che repeated this a few more times, and hid himself atop a huge tree over four meters thick in the end. Looking down, he was actually over a hundred meters above ground!

-Now that I’m hiding here, that fellow shouldn’t be able to find me now, right?- As he thought of this, the quick but heavy footsteps had already arrived.

Suddenly, a huge, savage head emerged from the obstruction of the branches and leaves, entering Zhang Che’s sight along with its majestic body.

Even though there were still many branches and leaves between them, Zhang Che could tell with a glance that this was another Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus!

However, compared to the one he just subdued, this fellow was obviously bigger. Its body length was about twelve or thirteens meters, its height nearly nine meters. The dark, shining steel armor around its armor looked as if it was trying to absorb all the light around it.

Although they were quite a distance apart, leaving Zhang Che unable to see its attributes, he estimated that this fellow’s level was probably around the peak of five stars, unlike the one he subdued, which barely reached five stars.

-This… could it be that that guy’s parent has come?- This thought immediately sprung up in Zhang Che’s head.

The moment this Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus walked into the desolate area, it saw the corpse of the other huge beast. After that, its nose flared up a few times, as if it caught the scent of something. Its expression immediately turned into one of rage!

Obviously, it picked up the scent of its child, and yet it was nowhere to be found.

The Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus immediately roared to the sky furiously. It was so loud that Zhang Che’s eardrums were nearly shattered. After that, it charged up to the huge beast’s corpse. It widened its mouth and directly bit down at the dead beast’s neck. It swung its thick neck, directly throwing around the huge beast that weighed several dozen tons!

Zhang Che’s body shrunk back when he saw this. He hurriedly stifled his breathing as best as he could.

-What kind of strength is that!?-

The Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus’ brain was obviously not very useful. Since it couldn’t find a trace of its child, it could only vent its anger on the corpse of that huge beast. Under the gaze of Zhang Che, it started abusing the corpse.

That huge corpse that weighed several dozen tons was like a rag doll to the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus. It was bit on and slammed around, and soon it was so damaged that it was unrecognizable.

After a good session of venting its frustration, the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus finally stopped, and walked in another direction with a sorrowful look on its face.

———–

When the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus had finally left, and its heavy footstep sounds had disappeared, Zhang Che finally let out a long sigh of relief.

That fellow was an embodiment of a Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus’ true strength. The little one he subdued was probably much weaker physically. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have suffered such heavy injuries before killing the other huge beast.

Also, luckily he hid himself in the tree. The consequences would be unthinkable if the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus had caught him.

“This won’t do. I have to leave this area as soon as possible. Every random freaking exotic beast I came across is so terrifying! This isn’t a place for humans at all!”

Zhang Che had no intentions of remaining here to hunt exotic beasts at all. It wasn’t realistic. Managing to pick up some scraps earlier was already very lucky of him. If he still thought of hunting these horrifying monsters, wouldn’t that be like a longevity god hanging himself; disliking his long life?

However, he must really scout his surroundings properly before leaving. Otherwise, he’d really be in for a good time if he accidentally walked into the nest of a bunch of horrifying beasts.

It just so happened that the tree Zhang Che was hiding on was larger than the surrounding trees. He brought out his whip and pulled himself up to the crown. He focused and scanned around him.

Zhang Che’s current location was a wide flatlands next to a seashore or a lakeshore. Vegetation was dense around here; it was close to impossible to see what the situation was like on the ground.

This open flatland extended about for several kilometers before transitioning into an extended mountain ridge.

If he wanted to leave, he had no choice but to enter this mountain ridge.

Moreover, the terrain of a mountain ridge was rugged; there shouldn’t be many of those huge, horrifying beasts over there, right?

However, before they left, they had to go take a look at the spiritual herb the Gluttony Monkey had sensed last night.

To be able to grow in such a place and not be discovered by those huge beasts, either it was extremely mediocre, or its aura was extremely well-concealed and wouldn’t be found so easily by those exotic beasts.

Zhang Che guessed that it should be the latter. Otherwise, the Gluttony Monkey wouldn’t be so agitated back then.

—

With the long whip’s help, Zhang Che immediately slid down from the large tree. He summoned the Gluttony Monkey with a wave of his hand afterwards, and the two carefully headed in a direction to his left.

The frisky monkey’s sensory range for spiritual herbs was five hundred meters, and Zhang Che’s current location was only a few hundred meters away from his camp site yesterday night. This meant that the trip back wouldn’t be over a kilometer in distance.

Even though it wasn’t very far, Zhang Che had to move around in the rich forest for several minutes before he got close to his destination.

Fortunately, Zhang Che didn’t bump into other huge beasts during this short journey. His luck was not bad.

“Zhizhi!” the frisky monkey suddenly cried out softly, yet excitedly. He pointed at the top of a withered huge tree ahead; the spiritual herb was probably growing on top of this rotting tree.

This huge tree was close to ten meters wide. Even though the top half of the tree had broken off, the remaining bottom half of the tree was still a few dozen meters tall. Although the tree had withered long ago, there were many vines and parasitic tiny shrubs growing on the trunk.

“If this tree didn’t die, wouldn’t it become a demon spirit? It seems like the spiritual herb grew by absorbing this thing’s remaining life essence!” Zhang Che immediately grew excited. Just as he was about to extend his whip and climb up the tree, his body froze on the spot.

A round head three meters across suddenly peeked out from the lush vines on top of the tree trunk. Its cold eyes stared at Zhang Che and the frisky monkey emotionlessly, that chilling gaze seemingly possessing the ability to freeze someone else’s blood.

“I’m only passing by. Do you believe it?” Zhang Che slowly widened his lips, revealing the most innocent and friendly smile in his life. He shuffled his legs lightly, retreating inch by inch, as if he was afraid of crushing the ants on the ground.

Well, there weren’t any ants on the ground. What a poor excuse!
