Chapter 391: Double Surprise

Edited by Aelryinth

After the Earthen Rock Demon’s rock spear punched through a few of the black-winged demonic creatures’ bodies, Zhang Che actually sensed a few waves of familiar energy quickly flying back to him from the front. Afterwards, the energies entered his spiritual sea and blended into the golden vortex.

Although those energies were very faint, much weaker than what he obtained from killing the strange creatures back in the secret plane, Zhang Che felt their existence regardless.

-What’s happening? Could the secret plane be related to the demonic world?- Zhang Che thoughts immediately wandered in that direction as he felt himself absorbing the energy.

Although those strange creatures he encountered in the secret plane seemed very different from the demonic creatures, Zhang Che couldn’t deny that the latter provided him with the same energy after his babies killed them.

-Don’t think so much. It’s a great thing as long as I can strengthen the golden vortex!- Zhang Che blinked a few times and stopped thinking about it.

At this moment, the black-winged demonic creatures ahead that had passed through the net of elemental attacks had shot a huge volley of bone spikes, raining down on the summoned beasts in front. Some of the bone spikes with a further reach had even caught Zhang Che within their attack range.

“Captain, watch out!”

Seeing Zhang Che acting absent-minded during battle and seemingly forgetting to block those bone spike attacks, Li Xin quickly cried out loudly from behind him.

“I’m alright, you watch out!” Zhang Che replied quickly. The Earthen Rock Demon suddenly took a step in his direction. The Gravity Field quickly enveloped the area, making the bone spikes losing their momentum and fall to the snowy ground.

-My babies, slaughter them! The more the better!-

Since those demonic creatures brought such benefits to Zhang Che, naturally he no longer hesitated. He immediately gave the order to his babies to massacre them all.

All of a sudden, with the exception of the Unicorn staying by Zhang Che’s side, his army of legend-quality subdued beasts and pets pushed forward one after another, each releasing their own elemental attacks, shrouding a large spread of black-winged demonic creatures ahead.

Those black-winged demonic creatures were only as strong as four-star gold-quality exotic beasts. How could they possibly withstand a bunch of attacks from mid-tier legend-quality beasts? A whole spread of them died right away, falling from the sky.

At the same time, at the front of the army of summoned beasts, a row of powerful subdued beasts initiated attacks one after another, killing those black-winged demonic creatures to the point that there was no semblance of an army. In the end, only a few of them managed to retreat back into the ranks of the main demonic army.

Seeing those demonic creatures’ corpses on the ground, Zhang Che felt his heart aching. -Why can’t I get that mysterious energy if they weren’t killed by my babies?

-If they were all my kills, even if each of them gave very little energy, it should be enough to strengthen the golden vortex by a little, right?-

If he didn’t have to be responsible for defense in this area, Zhang Che really wanted to charge right into the demonic army and massacre them.

“Hmm? Something doesn’t feel quite right?” Zhang Che felt something amiss amid his grief.

-Right, in that wave of attacks, countless demonic creatures were killed. Why didn’t the other beastmasters show any reaction?

-Is it because the demonic creatures have too little energy in them, and thus went unnoticed after their spiritual sea had absorbed it?

-Impossible! Anything that touches upon the spiritual sea, no matter how miniscule, can’t possibly go unnoticed. A beastmaster’s spiritual sense is incomparable to ordinary people; they will immediately notice any slight changes.

-In other words, I’m the only one that can absorb the strange energy in those demonic creatures!-

Zhang Che quickly realized the key to the matter. Everything was probably caused by the golden vortex in his spiritual sea!

Since those demonic creatures had too little of that strange energy in their bodies, only he, who had the golden vortex, could absorb them, while the other beastmasters couldn’t even sense the energy, and were thus unable to absorb it.

“Looks like coming here is the right choice. Mhm, I have to remain here longer, and hopefully reach a stage where the golden vortex achieves a qualitative power up. If the range of my control over the swords reaches over five hundred meters, I will no longer have to get beaten up when I encounter epic-quality exotic beasts!”

Zhang Che narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling an indescribable sense of excitement.

—

Having repelled the first wave of the demonic army, they had basically probed the strengths of those creatures. The higher-ups soon issued the next command.

All-out attack!

At the same time, a wave of concentrated buzzing was heard above them. The squadrons of fighter jets were in formation once more, flying towards the demonic army ahead. Missile after missile whizzed through the air, falling into the demonic army, giving rise to countless balls of flames.

After all, the higher-ups were worried that an orderly demonic army would be too much for the beastmaster teams to handle. Bombarding them with a wave of missiles would not only wreck their formation, it would also deal them a huge blow.

“Follow me closely!”

After receiving the order to attack, a glint of excitement shone in Zhang Che’s eyes. He turned to his squad members with the order, then immediately mounted the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, directing his babies to charge forward.

Of course, he didn’t dare to rush too far forward. He maintained a safe distance with the other teams at the sides, to facilitate better support in case there were any changes.

The Earthen Rock Demon was indeed worthy of being an epic-quality subdued beast. Although it wasn’t very fast, its attack method was terrifying. As it ran, rock spear after rock spear kept appearing in its hand, and it was tossing them nearly every second.

With every rock spear it threw, a gap opened in the demonic army ahead.

Even though the creatures gathered at the front of the demonic army were lizard-like creatures with thick, tough scales, they were unable to block the rock spear attacks at all. Every attack would punch a big hole through them, flesh and blood splattering in all directions.

Feeling the strands of strange energy flowing into the golden vortex again, Zhang Che’s eyes narrowed in excitement.

All of a sudden, the Earthen Rock Demon became the focus of the battle, drawing the gazes of both sides.

The twenty-two other teams at his sides were all highly competent mid-tier beastmasters. Their gazes were burning at the sight of what it could do.

Having an epic-quality subdued beast was an entirely different realm, indeed! That attack power was simply ridiculous!

Some of the more well-informed ones couldn’t help but guess inside, -Didn’t that kid have three epic-quality subdued beasts? Why hasn’t he summoned them all by now? Does he think that he can handle every situation with just this one epic-quality subdued beast?-

As a matter of fact, the Earthen Rock Demon could really handle the situation right now.

When it charged right into the middle of the demonic army, it simply disregarded the demonic creatures’ attacks by relying on its stone body’s tough defense. It raised its feet, stomping down on them in a frenzy.

This was truly trampling on them in every sense!

Due to the heavily concentrated demonic creatures, every stomp of the Earthen Rock Demon would catch a few unlucky ones.

That scene was just like human stepping on insects. Every step would crush their bodies, flesh and blood splattered. Seeing it gave off a strange sense of beauty.

The commanders of the demonic army at the back noticed the situation here. A group of huge demonic beasts comparable to tyrannosauruses in size suddenly rushed out from the back of the army, directly surrounding the Earthen Rock Demon.

The Earthen Rock Demon wasn’t afraid of them. It let out a silent roar, activating its other skill. Countless holes suddenly opened up in the icy ground that was stomped out of shape, and sharp rock spikes shot up from the ground.

The demonic creatures nearby weren’t able to dodge in time. A large swathe of them were immediately impaled, providing a huge amount of strange energy to Zhang Che. He was so happy that his eyes turned into slits.

However, the Earthen Rock Demon’s wide-area attack didn’t yield much result against those dinosaur-sized demonic creatures.

A wave of clanking noises similar to metal clashing rang out when the rock spikes struck the abdomen of those demonic creatures, producing countless sparks.

Zhang Che was suddenly dumbstruck. “Oh shit, those demonic creatures’ defense is so high!”

Although wide-area skills were much weaker than single target skills, it was the skill of an epic-quality subdued beast, after all. Even mid-tier legend-quality exotic beasts wouldn’t get out of this unscathed after being hit by that!

Without a doubt, those savage creatures’ defensive strength was comparable to an epic-quality exotic beast!.

This wouldn’t do. If the Earthen Rock Demon was pinned down here, it would become much more difficult for Zhang Che’s other babies to win against those terrifying demonic creatures.

A cold glint shone in Zhang Che’s eyes. He immediately directed the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon to fly forward, shocking his squad members, their eyes widened in surprise. They could only follow Zhang Che’s lead and charge forward.

-Captain, you’re too reckless! What use is there for you to rush forward when even your epic-quality subdued beast has difficulty killing those demonic creatures?- was what every squad member was thinking. Fortunately, they were intimidated by Zhang Che’s strength and none of them dared to say it aloud.

Of course, part of the reason was because they trusted Zhang Che so much that it had reached the degree of blind faith. Since the captain dared to rush forward, he must have some kind of plan, right?

Well, Zhang Che’s plan was very simple.

When the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon flew to the Earthen Rock Demon’s side, a scarlet light suddenly shot out from Zhang Che’s brow, streaking into one of those demonic creature’s mouths like a bolt of lightning.

That demonic creature roared out. It suddenly spat out a huge mass of flesh and blood, its body started wavering, and it collapsed to the ground.

Zhang Che revealed a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth. As expected, those big guys’ agility was a little lacking. He could easily control the scarlet sword to enter their bodies through their weak points, then stir their insides into a mess and therefore easily kill them.

As that demonic beast fell, the scarlet sword immediately flew out of its bloody mouth and streaked towards another demonic beast like lightning.

As the demonic beast’s life was extinguished, the rainbow crystal in Zhang Che’s spiritual sea suddenly produced a strong vacuum. A mysterious conduit was established, directly absorbing a mass of pure energy from the demonic beast’s corpse.

Zhang Che was immediately both shocked and pleased. He didn’t expect to receive two surprises today!
