Chapter 207: Enormous Skeleton

Edited by Aelryinth

Darkness covered the lands. The valley was even darker.

Zhang Che stood outside the cave, a hint of surprise on his face. He remembered that when he first came to the valley, it was only around noon. Why was the sky dark so soon?

He remembered the sensation when he absorbed the essence of the two dragon eggs. It was simply like taking some substance he wasn’t supposed to. His entire being, from his body to his spirit, was drowned in pleasure. It felt like he was about to ascend to nirvana!

Judging from the situation, time had passed by quickly during that course of events.

“Since it’s already dark, I’ll rest in this cave for a night. A safe space is already prepared, after all.”

Zhang Che naturally didn’t dare to continue on his way during the night.

Heavens knew if there were any more powerful exotic beasts in this area other than the two Poison Fire Twin-Headed Dragons. He might find himself in a desperate situation if he was careless.

You mustn’t move around during night times in the beast world: this was a consensus among all beastmasters!

Moreover, there was still the adjacent majestic mountain, which even the Poison Fire Twin-Headed Dragon didn’t dare to go near. He could well imagine it was the territory of an unknown powerful beast.

After returning to the depths of the cave, Zhand Che directly went to sleep without changing his clothes.

Well, he didn’t have a choice. The backpack he used to store his daily necessities was left in the hunting zone, and the items stored in the Purple Crystal Tortoise’s unique dimension had disappeared without a trace.

The clothes he had on now were close to becoming beggar’s attire. If it wasn’t for Zhang Che usually wearing the Maneater Leech King soft armor or the Swamp Crocodile King hard armor on the outside, they would have been discarded long ago.

Even so, Zhang Che could imagine the day when he walked out of the beast world, perhaps he could only appear in front of others in his beast card armor.

So why did both his beast card armors had to be so weird looking!?

Nothing had to be said about the soft armor; it was a skintight outfit. Just thinking about appearing in front of others wearing a weird-looking skin tight overall left him shivering.

As for the Swamp Crocodile King hard armor, it had to be classified as a bizarre outfit. After putting on the helmet, he totally looked like a human-shaped exotic beast. Even if he took the helmet off, it definitely didn’t look good.

Zhang Che came to a decision. In the future, he definitely had to find a suit of armor that looked more normal!

Before he went to sleep, Zhang Che had the Purple Crystal Tortoise sneak to the top of the mountain silently to check on the Poison Fire Twin-Headed Dragons, but the dragons were gone, their nest empty.

Perhaps the Poison Fire Twin-Headed Dragons knew that they couldn’t do anything to Zhang Che, and in order to avoid him coming to harass them again, they migrated elsewhere. Thinking about it, it truly was hard on them. They had to endure the results of a feud snatching away their young.

“What a pity. If the two poison dragons continued staying above, surely a day would come when I cut them down!”

Zhang Che was confident that when he rose to Tier Five and was able to wield the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword, it would be the day when the Poison Fire Twin-Headed Dragons died.

Alas, they wouldn’t give him the opportunity.

Zhang Che had a night of peaceful sleep. After he woke up, he walked out of the cave, and saw that outside was already bright all around.

There wasn’t any signs of other exotic beast’s activities in the valley. Zhang Che’s dream of having a meaty breakfast wouldn’t come to fruition, and he could only eat a pile of assorted exotic fruits again.

He swore to himself, that when he returned to a safe area, he’d definitely not eat these tasteless fruits again!

Zhang Che climbed up the tunnel and arrived at the top of the mountain. He looked around, and saw the surrounding areas were still an endless range of mountain. Gods knew how many days he had to walk to get out of this area.

Afterwards, he looked at the majestic tall mountain next to them, thinking to himself, -It seems like the exotic beast living there shouldn’t be able to fly. Otherwise, the Poison Fire Twin-Headed Dragons definitely wouldn’t dare to build their nest so close…

-Then, should I ride the Purple Jade Condor and take a look at the mountain summit from the sky?-

This idea quickly occupied the entirety of Zhang Che’s mind the moment it was born.

After weighing the risks in his heart, he finally concluded that there shouldn’t be much danger in doing so. He only had to have the Purple Jade Condor fly a little higher. Even if the exotic beast on that mountain summit had long range attacks, it shouldn’t threaten the Purple Jade Condor in the sky.

Moreover, due to the threat of the unknown powerful exotic beast, there wouldn’t be other flying beasts around in the area. The Purple Jade Condor didn’t have to worry about sneak attacks from the air, either.

Of course, to ensure their safety, Zhang Che decided to have the Purple Jade Condor fly to that mountain summit by itself first, to scout out the situation on that side. It was better to be safe than sorry.

When the Purple Jade Condor took to the skies and flew over to the adjacent mountain summit carefully, Zhang Che’s expression suddenly turned into one of extreme shock.

According to the information sent to him by the Purple Jade Condor via their spiritual link, up on the mountain summit, an enormous exotic beast skeleton was lying there on a huge platform.

“What’s going on? Are the nearby exotic beasts afraid of just the remains of an exotic beast?” Zhang Che was simply in disbelief.

He hurriedly ordered the Purple Jade Condor to lower its altitude, then closed in on the platform on the summit. In the end, nothing dangerous happened at all.

Zhang Che immediately grew curious. He didn’t order the Purple Jade Condor to return. Instead, he summoned the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon and rode on his back, quickly flying over to the majestic mountain summit.

When Zhang Che saw the platform below him for himself, and that enormous skeleton several dozen meters long, his astonishment immediately reached its peak.

What shocked Zhang Che more was that even though it was only a skeleton, there was a thick, suffocating pressure emanating from it, leaving Zhang Che’s hairs standing on end, as if some incredible ferocious beast was staring down at him.

Not only that, Zhang Che could even feel that the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon under him was trembling slightly.

It was no wonder that the surrounding exotic beasts didn’t dare to come close. This was a kind of natural suppression born from the difference in their biological standing. For example, no mere creatures would ever dare to approach a dead tiger…

Zhang Che jumped off the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon’s back and looked at his shivering mount. In the end, he decided to recall him with a wave of his hand, saving him from the suffering of being out here.

Comparatively, the Purple Jade Condor, a subdued beast, didn’t have such reactions. The soulless subdued beast only knew of battling mechanically, not caring about how strong its enemy was.

Zhang Che walked forward with heavy steps towards the enormous skeleton. Under the suppression assaulting him from the front, it felt as if his feet had become much heavier.

-What’s there to be scared of? No matter how strong it was while it was still alive, it’s only a skeleton now!,- Zhang Che reprimanded himself inwardly. He mustered his courage and continued walking forward.

When he got closer to this enormous skeleton, he got a clearer feel of the peerless ferocity of this exotic beast when it was still alive.

Judging from sight alone, this skeleton was about eighty meters long, fully extended out on the ground. Its spine was about a dozen meters above the ground.

The entire skeleton was as white as jade, with a faint hue of silvery light underneath.

Zhang Che’s heart jumped. -If I brought this skeleton back, how much would it be worth?

-No, Alliance dollars is no longer sufficient to measure the worth of this skeleton. At the very least, rare minerals like purple-gold crystal would be used to measure its value.

-Then, if we’re using purple-gold crystal to appraise it, how much is the skeleton worth?

-Perhaps the one-ton-plus worth of scarlet meteorite I obtained in the valley cave yesterday is not even worth as much as this skeleton…?-
