Chapter 308: Zhang Xiaoche, I Grew Fat Again

Edited by Aelryinth

A white silhouette was streaking through the forest like lightning.

The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, Scarlet Flame Drake, and the Purple Crystal Tortoise were guarding Zhang Che between them. They had no way to resist the Four-winged White Tiger’s attacks at all, and could only use their bodies to shield him.

The Four-Winged White Tiger, who had the ability of micro instantaneous movements, was simply unavoidable. Every swing of its claws would hit Zhang Che’s babies accurately, producing loud dull striking sounds.

Even so, its attacks were unable to yield the results it wanted.

The Purple Crystal Tortoise’s defense was impenetrable by non-divine-quality attacks. Despite the huge force behind the attacks sending it tumbling away, even slamming it against huge trees from time to time, it didn’t receive any damage at all.

On the other hand, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon had a crystallized body, and even had an undying body of abyssal cold. Even if his crystallized body was torn to shreds by the Four-Winged White Tiger, it wouldn’t affect his movements at all.

Only the Scarlet Flame Drake had many wounds on its scaled body, fresh blood flowing everywhere. However, with the help from the two other beasts, it was able to persist.

Zhang Che, hiding safely in the middle of the three beasts, had his eyes closed, the scarlet sword hovering silently in front of him.

He focused his mind on the golden vortex in his spiritual sea. Through his spiritual sense, he was able to see everything within the surrounding hundred and ten meters.

Suddenly, a scarlet ray of light streaked through the dark forest.

The Four-Winged White Tiger let out a low, deep roar in fright. Its nimble body blinked around several times at a speed invisible to the naked eye, leaving its original position in an instant, while the scarlet light flew past where the tiger’s neck had been.

Zhang Che’s expression was dead calm. He didn’t feel any frustration after his failed attack. Instead, he continued directing the scarlet sword. He chose the most opportune moment and launched a flurry of attacks against the Four-Winged White Tiger.

The beast kept roaring out furiously. The scarlet sword was like an annoying fly sticking around the Four-Winged White Tiger, every attack aiming for its vitals, forcing it to weave about in the forest, and give up on its assault against Zhang Che, who was hiding in the middle of the three beasts.

-Wasn’t it just disturbed by the debris of the plane? Why isn’t it running away?,-Zhang Che thought as he was focused on the golden vortex, directing the scarlet sword’s attacks.

However, this was good, too. Once the cooldown period for the Purple Crystal Tortoise’s skill was over, Zhang Che was confident in bringing down the Four-Winged White Tiger.

Although beast cards wouldn’t drop from killing exotic beasts on Mercury, Zhang Che didn’t necessarily have to kill it. After injuring it heavily, he could try to use the rainbow crystal to tame it.

If he succeeded in taming the beast, it was equivalent to having another high-tier combat force, especially since the Four-Winged White Tiger’s mental attack was an invaluable support for Zhang Che’s army.

Time slowly flowed by. Fatigue was getting to Zhang Che, but the Four-Winged White Tiger’s body now sported a few deep cuts, too.

Even so, the high-tier exotic beast still refused to leave!

“Five minutes have finally passed!”

Sensing the cooldown time for the Purple Crystal Tortoise’s skill had passed, Zhang Che focused with renewed vigor, controlling the scarlet sword. The sword turned into a blur of scarlet light, surrounding the Four-Winged White Tiger.

The Purple Crystal Tortoise slowly opened its mouth. It activated its skill, all hundred and eight bone spikes instantly shot out.

Sensing the great threat approaching, the Four-Winged White Tiger went berserk and roared out furiously, charging towards the net of swords fearlessly. Alas, the sword stabbed into its neck, stopping it in place for a moment.

The pause lasted for less than a tenth of a second, but the Purple Crystal Tortoise’s barrage of bone spikes instantly punched the Four-Winged White Tiger’s body full of holes like a sieve. Blood and flesh splattered everywhere.

At the same time, the scarlet sword cut around the tiger’s neck, nearly decapitating it.

Zhang Che suddenly opened his eyes, walking quickly towards the dying exotic beast.

“Are you willing to join me?”

Alas, the Four-Winged White Tiger wouldn’t give in no matter how Zhang Che tried to entice or threaten it. As its life force quickly dwindled, it let out a final furious, miserable roar in the end, and its head fell to the side, dead.

“Forget it. A beast like you with such a strong will is really uncommon. Rest in peace,” Zhang Che sighed. Seeing the Four-Winged White Tiger’s eyes had lost their divine light and were still opened, he couldn’t help but reach out to close them.

Although Zhang Che would never let go of the corpse of a seven-star dark gold-quality exotic beast, it didn’t stop him from shutting its eyes.

“Hmm? Not right!”

Zhang Che stopped for a moment. Afterwards, he turned to look at the direction the Four-Winged White Tiger was looking at before its death. A twinkle shone in his eyes as he ordered the Purple Crystal Tortoise to put the corpse away and mounted the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, flying in that direction.

A short while later, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon suddenly emerged from the top of the trees and rose to the skies, flying south with Zhang Che in tow.

At this moment, Zhang Che was smiling brightly, looking at the sleeping bag in his hand that seemed to contain something, his eyes in slits with a wide smile.

After smiling for some time, Zhang Che suddenly opened up his personal terminal and called Huang Tielan.

Huang Tielan was obviously not very clear on the details of Zhang Che’s trip, thinking he went to some beast world to train. Seeing he had returned, she asked in surprise, “Eh? Zhang Xiaoche, this time you’re back so soon?”

“Mhm. I’m still on my way back,” Zhang Che replied, smiling. He asked, “Are you at school? Quickly come back. Right, to your ancestral house. I’ll be back around evening.”

After ending his call with Miss Tienan, Zhang Che saw the jet receiving him hovering a thousand meters in the air.

-It won’t be another imposter this time, right?- Thinking of the set up, Zhang Che revealed a hint of happiness instead.

“Although it can be considered a blessing in disguise this time, I won’t thank you people. If I ever find out who is causing trouble behind my back, just wait for my revenge!”

A hint of cold killing intent flashed across his eyes. He stepped into the open cabin of the jet, which then quickly turned around and flew in Bei Du City’s direction.

The sun slowly set in the west. After a few hours of flight, they finally arrived at the field near the outer courtyard of the Huang family’s ancestral house in eastern Bei Du.

Zhang Che directly jumped off the plane from several meters up, carrying a sleeping bag. His knees bent a little, dispersing the impact of the jump, and he quickly trotted towards Huang Tielan, who was waiting outside the field.

At present, Huang Juyun was still on his way to the capital. The two Huang elders naturally wouldn’t be here to receive Zhang Che, who was two generations younger. As such, he didn’t hide his excitement at all and smiled. “It’s been a few days, Miss Tienan. Have you been well?”

Chi..! Huang Tielan, who was originally showing an embarrassed expression, immediately burst into laughter. “Haha, Zhang Xiaoche, don’t mess around!”

The two stood facing each other. Zhang Che was looking intently at Huang TIelan’s face. Her embarrassed look from earlier crept back up on her cheeks, when she suddenly said with a hint of sadness, “Zhang Xiaoche, I seem to have grown fatter. What should I do!?”

Zhang Che shook his head resolutely when he heard this. “Not fat. Not fat at all. This way is the best!”

He had to be firm. He definitely couldn’t let her continue on this topic!

Huang Tielan finally smiled, “Alright, you get a pass. But, I really seem to be growing fatter… eh? Why are you carrying a sleeping bag?” It was only now that she noticed the sleeping bag in Zhang Che’s arm. She was surprised by his unusual action and hurriedly asked about it.
