Chapter 267: A Giant Ape That Could Box

Edited by Aelryinth

Without Zhang Che realizing it, he had advanced a few dozen kilometers since the start. There was no one else in sight for some time now.

Of course, it was mainly because he chose to advance in the direction with no one else around.

The reasoning was simple. With so many people moving forward together, the beastmasters in front would naturally draw many exotic beasts to them. As long as he didn’t advance too quickly, and chose to move where not many people passed by, it would be much safer.

Moreover, Zhang Che was stronger than most of the other beastmasters here. If he encountered any exotic beasts, he could most likely clear the path ahead swiftly, sweeping his way through in an instant-kill manner. It wouldn’t cause much commotion, also lowering the chances of the powerful exotic beasts noticing him.

-Ahhh, there’s a whole thousand kilometers to go! Even if there is no need to battle with exotic beasts on the way, it will take quite some time to cover the distance on foot. Looks like it will take at least a few days’ time to reach the gateway to the secret plane,- Zhang Che grumbled to himself as his field of vision gradually widened.

Before he realized it, he had walked out of the forest. In front of him was a mountain range.

Should he enter it? That was what Zhang Che was considering.

Normally speaking, it was common for powerful exotic beasts to hide in tall mountains.

However, he didn’t know how far this mountain range extended. Detouring around it truly wouldn’t be easy, not to mention that there was no guarantee he wouldn’t encounter powerful exotic beasts if he did choose to take a detour.

“I’ll just go straight ahead, then. I’ll just try to be more careful. As long as my luck isn’t that bad that I run into a divine-quality exotic beast, forcing me to run away, even an epic-quality exotic beast wouldn’t be able to stop me.”

With such a strong group of babies, Zhang Che was very confident of himself. He only took a short while to make his decision, stepping forward.

Before he got far, Zhang Che saw obvious marks on the snowy ground ahead.

-Hmm? Someone already went ahead of me? Even better!- Zhang Che immediately felt relieved. Since someone was ahead of him, he only needed to be more careful and not go too fast. He didn’t have to worry much about his safety.

Therefore, he purposefully took a tiny detour to the side, taking a path without any tracks.

This way, he would, to a large degree, avoid the exotic beasts drawn to those ahead of him.

Although the mountain summits here were really high up, Zhang Che had no need to directly scale them. He could just walk along the mountain foot.

—

Suddenly, the Scarlet Flame Drake, who was scouting ahead, sent Zhang Che a warning. The latter’s brows immediately twitched.

-Damn it, I already avoided places with others around. Why did I still encounter powerful exotic beast? Shouldn’t they be drawn to where the others were?-

-Nevermind, we’ll just fight, then!-

Soon, Zhang Che saw the Scarlet Flame Drake confronting a giant ape at the mountain’s foot ahead.

Zhang Che was suddenly at a loss for words when he saw the attributes of that Mutated Giant Ape.

-What the, an exotic beast that is actually proficient at boxing?

-Are you kidding me?-

However, his data eyes would never lie to him. He could only ignore the ridiculousness he felt and carefully size up the Mutated Giant Ape in front of him.

That fellow was about three meters tall, with a savage appearance. Tough muscles were hidden under its snow white fur, filled with explosive strength.

At this moment, the Mutated Giant Ape was staring at the Scarlet Flame Drake with its bell-like eyes wide, its legs spread, its hands clenched into fists and held up before its chest. It truly looked like it was a boxer ready for a fight.

“What a pity. It’d be great if we’re in the beast world right now. I would have gotten another legend-quality beast card after killing it. Now, it will only leave a corpse behind, and I can’t even eat its meat,” Zhang Che sighed, shaking his head, his face regretful.

Although there was quite a bit of meat on his Mutated Giant Ape’s body, it looked just like a person. Zhang Che truly couldn’t bring himself to eat its flesh.

Suddenly, the Mutated Giant Ape hammered its fists onto its chest, before charging straight towards the Scarlet Flame Drake like a bolt of lightning.

The Scarlet Flame Drake wasn’t afraid, however. With a wave of its claws, a streak of fiery light swept towards the Mutated Giant Ape, followed by its sharp claws reaching for its chest.

Although the Scarlet Flame Drake mainly relied on elemental attacks, its close combat abilities weren’t weak by any means. Its front claws were especially noteworthy; its sharpness could definitely tear through the scales of most exotic beasts, clawing out pieces of flesh with every swipe.

Facing the Scarlet Flame Drake’s fiery attack, the Mutated Giant Ape didn’t try to dodge at all. A dark, gloomy glow shone on its snow white fur, immediately absorbing half of the elemental attack. The remaining bit couldn’t hurt it at all.

Not only that, the Mutated Giant Ape paid no heed to the Scarlet Flame Drake’s follow up claw swipe.

As a master boxer, such a primitive attack from the Scarlet Flame Drake wouldn’t be worth any of its attention.

The Mutated Giant Ape slid to the side, easily dodging the Scarlet Flame Drake’s claws. Afterwards, its body swung back like a pendulum, throwing out a left hook and striking the Scarlet Flame Drake’s cheek with a loud bam.

After the punch connected, the Scarlet Flame Drake looked as if it was run over by a high speed train, flying back and crashing into a tree as thick as a human thigh, directly snapping it off and falling to the ground along with rustling sounds.

Zhang Che could almost feel the pain on his cheek after seeing that, his eyelid twitching madly.

-How ferocious! With such powerful close combat ability, if it decided to charge at me, wouldn’t I be sent flying immediately with a punch?!

-Really, the exotic beast being an ape is not scary, but the ape being able to box is!

-Which one of you have seen an exotic beast that knows boxing?

-I’m seeing one right now, and am about to face the danger of dying to a flurry of punches!-

The Mutated Giant Ape let out an excited roar after scoring a hit on the Scarlet Flame Drake. Afterwards, its bell-like large eyes immediately locked onto Zhang Che to the side.

As a legend-quality exotic beast, naturally it knew that those other insects wouldn’t matter if it could get rid of Zhang Che!
