Chapter 255: Never Enter Any Caves You Come Across

Edited by Aelryinth

When Zhang Che woke up the next morning, he immediately checked the spiritual sea in his hazy consciousness and sighed in disappointment.

He was indeed only dreaming; how could he possibly tame that golden lightning divine bird?

Perhaps it didn’t even have to make a move against him; just a glance from it would finish him off.

“Ai, I’m thinking too much…”

Zhang Che stretched himself. The sky outside gradually brightened up.

As he was about to go wash himself, Zhang Che blinked a few times and stopped in place.

A golden ray of light shot out from between his brows. The frisky monkey appeared excitedly. As he was about to cry out, Zhang Che hurriedly covered his mouth.

“Be good, don’t make a sound; there’s other people outside!”

The frisky monkey immediately showed fear in his eyes. -Master daddy, what are you planning on doing!?-

Zhang Che slapped him lightly, then whispered an order, “Hurry, check if there are any spiritual herbs nearby. I came all the way out here; I don’t want to return empty-handed!”

-So it’s like that… you scared me…,- the frisky monkey sighed in relief. He immediately activated his skill. An invisible ripple spread out in all directions, scanning the surrounding five kilometer radius.

“Zhizhi!”

“How is it? Did you find any?” Zhang Che looked at the frisky monkey in anticipating, waiting for his answer.

“Zhizhi, zhizhi!” The frisky monkey blinked a few times, nodding his head repeatedly.

Zhang Che went wild with joy, “What, there’s a few of them?”

The frisky monkey shook his head, sticking out a finger on his right hand.

Zhang Che slapped him again, glaring, “There’s only one, so why did you nod so many times for? Quick, tell me where it’s at.”

The frisky monkey blinked again, -Don’t you want me to bring you there?-

“Be good, there’s others outside. I can’t bring you with me this time. Just telling me the location will do.”

The frisky monkey showed a look of despair. -You locked me up so for long, not letting me take a breather outside. I thought I was finally free now that you summoned me, but you’re just making use of me! Making use of me is fine, but you’re going to immediately lock me up again!?-

Alas, what could he do? Only despair…

Standing at a place where several valleys intersected, Zhang Che suggested, “Brother Liu, why don’t we go this way? I see that the terrain is more complicated there; it should be better for training my reactions.”

He had to speak out! The spiritual herb discovered by the frisky monkey was in that valley. He couldn’t possibly say that he knew there was some good stuff in there, and they should go pick up some treasure, right?

Liu Gang looked around and nodded, “That’s fine. Let’s go with Zhang-shao’s idea.”

They had gone through this place before. Although they couldn’t be said to be very familiar with this particular valley, it was unlikely that they would encounter any overly powerful exotic beasts.

Moreover, with this young master’s army of legend-quality subdued beasts, they wouldn’t be in any danger as long as they didn’t encounter a terrifying epic-quality beast.

Even so, were epic-quality beasts so commonly seen?

It wasn’t like all of them were the embodiment of jinxes. It was impossible to run into such a situation!

Since they were here to train Zhang Che’s combat skills, Liu Gang and the others followed behind him, letting Zhang Che walk ahead with his sword in hand. As long as he didn’t encounter any large groups of exotic beasts, the three of them would definitely not lift a finger to help him.

Although they were already deep into the beast world, there weren’t many exotic beasts around. Their level and quality was only a little higher than the fringe areas.

Wielding the Mutated Puffersword, Zhang Che could barely handle a four-star bronze-quality beast by himself. He wouldn’t be able to take on anything stronger than that.

After all, the Mutated Puffersword’s level was a little too low. It couldn’t inflict much damage onto four-star silver-quality exotic beasts. If it was a beast that had superior defenses, Zhang Che could forget about it; even penetrating its scales would be a problem!

However, this also indirectly reflected Zhang Che’s lack of skills.

If a first-rate expert was in his shoes, they wouldn’t care how strong the exotic beast’s defenses were. No matter how thick their scales were, could they cover their eyes?

—

The group walked deeper into the valley. Strangely enough, they didn’t find a single exotic beast around.

Zhang Che didn’t care about any of this. His purpose for entering this valley wasn’t exotic beasts, anyway. It didn’t matter if there were any.

On the other hand, Liu Gang and the others were exchanging looks with one another. -This is strange. Given this valley’s complicated terrain, how could there be not a single exotic beast?-

They walked about another two kilometers in. Liu Gang and the others’ face grew increasingly serious, silently drawing the distance between them and Zhang Che tighter.

-Hmm, it should be around three to four hundred meters further in…- Zhang Che’s eyes revealed signs of excitement. Although the frisky monkey had told him the exact direction and distance from the spiritual herb earlier, without any scientific apparatuses in hand, who could guarantee that they could find an objective two to three kilometers away?

However, the absence of exotic beasts all this way made Zhang Che realize that the spiritual herb must have been discovered by a powerful exotic beast, and no other beasts dared to step in here.

Was this turning into a two-in-one joyful event at the rate it was going?

Seeing Zhang Che advancing rapidly, Liu Gang hurriedly reminded him in a low voice, “Zhang-shao, there might be a powerful exotic beast nested ahead. You must be careful; why don’t you summon your powerful subdued beasts, just in case.”

Although Liu Gang and the others kept Huang Juyun’s instructions in mind, to train Zhang Che as best as possible, they couldn’t be stubborn in their ways. They knew what choices they had to make if the situation called for it.

The strongest subdued beast they had was only a seven-star silver-quality beast. If they encountered an overly powerful exotic beast, they could only hope that Zhang Che’s legend-quality beasts could handle the situation.

If they found themselves in such a situation, would they insist on Zhang Che using that garbage long sword to fend for himself?

Zhang Che nodded understanding, and recalled the Mutated Puffersword. A few streaks of five-colored rays shot out; the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon and Unicorn appeared at the same time, and the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword was in his hand as well.

The four of them slowed down their pace, looking around cautiously as they advanced, afraid of an ambush by the powerful exotic beast nested here.

After making a turn, they saw a cave on a cliff ahead, a few meters wide.

Zhang Che’s heart thumped, -Why is the freaking spiritual herb grown in a cave? It’ll be troublesome if the exotic beast nested in there doesn’t come out.-

Neither the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon nor the Unicorn could display its full strength in a cave.

Similarly, the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus was unsuitable for such battle environments, due to its large size.

Zhang Che didn’t want to reveal the Purple Crystal Tortoise, who was the best among his babies for fights in a cave. This was the biggest hidden trump card he had; how could he let others know about it so casually?

Liu Gang looked at that dark cave ahead with a grave expression and suggested to Zhang Che, “Zhang-shao, I think that cave is dangerous. Let’s return to where we came from and go in another direction.”

Those who often entered the beast world knew of an iron-clad rule. It was… never enter any caves you came across!

That was especially true in the depths of the beast world. Heavens knew what kind of powerful exotic beast would appear!

“Give me a minute,” Zhang Che replied. He looked down and picked up a rock, hurling it into the cave.

Liu Gang and the others immediately tensed up. -This young master is really daring! Isn’t he afraid of provoking a powerful beast he can’t handle?-

The rock flew into the cave, clattering off the walls noisily. Afterwards, the four of them heard a low, furious roar coming from deeper in the cave.
