Chapter 474: Entering a Secret Plane Once More

Edited by Aelryinth

The next morning, Zhang Che received a phone call from Huang Juyun before he even woke up. His father-in-law revealed a shocking piece of news to him, and he directly jumped out of bed.

“What? Another secret plane gateway appeared?”

-What kind of joke is this? Didn’t they say secret planes appear once every two years at the earliest?

-How long has it been since the last secret plane ended? It hasn’t even been half a year yet!-

“Right! This time, the gateway appeared at Nan Mei region, in the mountain range near their west coast. The time of appearance was in the morning, local time. The military satellites from all regions checked clearly. This can’t be wrong.” Some excitement could be heard in Huang Juyun’s voice. Obviously he was excited at the news, too.

By heaven’s grace, Zhang Che was still a tiny bit away from reaching Tier Seven beastmaster. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to enter this secret plane and would have missed a great opportunity!

As for the danger, Huang Juyun was actually pretty confident in Zhang Che’s strength. At present, even ordinary high-tier beastmasters might not be a match for Zhang Che if they didn’t have a few powerful high-tier epic-quality exotic beasts!

Since that was the case, in a secret plane only mid-tier beastmasters could enter, Zhang Che didn’t have to fear threats from other beastmasters, at the very least. The only thing he had to worry about was the unknown dangers in the secret plane this time!

Judging from the data of the past secret planes, the survival rate of beastmasters wasn’t low. It was at least half every time.

Given Zhang Che’s strength, he would belong to the surviving half no matter what, right?

“Then when are our Hua Xia’s participants setting out?” Zhang Che directly asked about the departure time and date.

Since the secret plane was far off in the Nan Mei region this time, Hua Xia definitely needed to prepare early. It was impossible for them to set out at the last moment like last time.

Zhang Che was still thinking of his Falling Star Model X Mk III superstrong bow. If the participants from Hua Xia had to set off right away, he wouldn’t be able to wait until the Falling Star Model X Mk III was completed.

“There’s no hurry for that. Although the journey to Nan Mei is long, we still have to organize the participants for entering the secret plane. Most likely we’ll be officially setting off for Nan Mei three days from now.”

Zhang Che was much happier after he heard Huang Juyun’s words. With that, the Falling Star Model X Mk III would be done just in time before the huge event!

“Alright, then. I’ll head back today.”

Since Zhang Che had no other matters to take care of in Tian Xing City, he wanted to return to Bei Du in advance to go take a look at the bow crafting shop, in case they delayed the time and he was not able to get the bow before he left for the secret plane.

As for the other preparations, Zhang Che didn’t need any of that. He was no longer the same person from before. The Purple Crystal Tortoise’s spatial storage always had large amounts of food and water in stock. He didn’t need to worry about those things after entering the secret plane.

——-

Two days later, Zhang Che received the completed Falling Star Model X as he wished. The Falling Star Model X Mk III was about a hundred thirty centimeters long. The bow grip was scarlet-gold in color, and the bow limbs purple with patterns on them. It had a powerful appearance.

Zhang Che tried pulling on the bowstring. In the end, he only managed to vibrate the string slightly after exerting all his strength.

“As expected of a superstrong bow with twenty-one thousand kilograms draw weight! My arms have around three thousand kilograms of pull strength, and yet I can’t even draw it at all! I wonder how terrifyingly powerful the arrows shot from this bow will be…”

Zhang Che was very satisfied with the Falling Star Model X Mk III. He paid the balance very straightforwardly, and bought a thousand superalloy arrows at a forty-percent discount.

Originally, the shop wanted to gift a thousand ordinary alloy arrows to Zhang Che as a service. However, Zhang Che was obviously not interested in those ordinary goods. When he checked in two days ago, he asked them to work overtime and produce a thousand superalloy arrows for him.

This kind of arrow could theoretically puncture the scales of mid-tier epic-quality exotic beasts if the projectile was fast enough, and posed a certain threat to high-tier epic-quality exotic beasts, too!

“It’s settled! Now, the frisky monkey can also fight against mid-tier epic-quality exotic beasts. He’ll be even more terrifying if I use him to assassinate other beastmasters!”

After collecting the Falling Star Model X Mk III, Zhang Che immediately went into the beast world that was close to Bei Du to test how fast the arrows shot by the frisky monkey were with a device.

In the end, a soft but sharp whistle rang out the moment the frisky monkey released the bowstring. However, before the noise was heard, Zhang Che saw the huge mountain rock a few hundred meters ahead he had specially chosen explode into countless bits.

“An average projectile speed of nine hundred and sixty meters per second!” Zhang Che couldn’t help but burst into laughter when he saw the displayed number on the speed test device.

The bullets shot from many guns were around that speed as well. Even so, those bullets only weighed a few dozen grams at most. How could the destructive power of those bullets compare with the superalloy arrows that weighed about a quarter kilogram?

The difference between the two simply couldn’t be measured by logic!

The frisky monkey was very excited after shooting the arrow. His increasingly ugly face was full of smiles, saying loudly to Zhang Che, “Baba, I, strong!”

“Haha, I know you’re very strong! You can take part in future fights from now on!” Zhang Che laughed out loud as well. If anything, the frisky monkey could totally become an outstanding sniper with the Falling Star Model X Mk III, picking off enemies from afar, especially hostile beastmasters. He would be able to display his skills brilliantly.

His shots could even penetrate the defenses of mid-tier epic-quality exotic beasts. Ordinary legend-quality beast card armors were probably not enough to block the frisky monkey’s arrows. Even if they were wearing epic-quality beast card armor, and managed to withstand the arrows, what about the enormous resulting impact?

Even ordinary high-tier beastmasters wouldn’t be able to withstand that kind of impact when it erupted; their bones would break from the shock, and their organs bleed internally, right?

In the Nan Mei region, the local date was 17th November, Year 36 of the New Age. In the mountain range surrounding the tall purple gateway to the secret plane, multiple ad-hoc campgrounds were set up. Factions from all over Mercury were gathered there.

The mid-tier beastmasters who were going to enter the secret plane were all gathered, waiting for the alliance government to affirm the time for all of them to set off for the gateway.

Zhang Che stood inside the Hua Xia camp. The unfamiliar beastmasters around him were all greeting him in a friendly manner.

It couldn’t be helped; Zhang Che could be said to be the strongest person among the younger generation of Hua Xia, or even among all the mid-tier beastmasters. As fellow beastmasters from Hua Xia, naturally they wanted to get along with him. They weren’t hoping for Zhang Che to help them after entering the secret plane, but at the very least, him not targeting them would be something very nice!

After all, no one could be sure of the situation inside the secret plane. If they were eyed by such an expert unknowingly, they might not even know how they died in the end.

Facing the intentional display of friendliness from all the unfamiliar faces around him, Zhang Che acknowledged them all with a faint smile and nods, not putting on the aloof airs of an expert at all.

This time, Zhang Che didn’t intend to conceal his identity. Instead, he chose to enter the secret plane in his original appearance.

He chose to do so was because he didn’t want others to know the secret of him being able to switch up his identity as he pleased, not even the Huang family. On the other hand, only mid-tier beastmasters could enter the secret plane. High-tier beastmasters would be restricted by the spatial tunnel and forbidden from entering. That way, Zhang Che didn’t have to worry about getting into any danger.

Since that was so, so what if he entered the secret plane in his original appearance?

Just like that, the beastmasters waited for some time. The public announcement system in the campground suddenly rang out. The alliance government had arranged the time to set off and notified the beastmasters from all the regions. They would officially set off in half an hour’s time.

As they were about to set off, Huang Juyun, who personally came to Nan Mei to send Zhang Che in, reminded him once more, “You have to be careful on this trip. Although you’re already very strong now, being careful won’t go wrong.”

Zhang Che nodded, showing a confident smile and replied, “Don’t worry, Uncle Huang. I understand.”

With multiple epic-quality combat forces on him, Zhang Che really didn’t put this trip to the secret plane to heart. He was confident that he would be able to escape in the end even if he encountered some grave dangers inside.

After all, he wasn’t the only one entering. Although he would appear randomly in the secret plane after crossing the gateway, there were about a thousand participants! With the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s speed, it wouldn’t be long before Zhang Che came across other beastmasters inside. With that, as long as he outran others, danger would usually not come to find him.

As for whether he could outrun others, Zhang Che was very confident in this aspect. The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s Mach 2 speed was no joke. Many high-tier beastmasters’ epic-quality flying subdued beasts might not even reach that speed!

“No matter what, it’s best to be safe!” Huang Juyun gave a final reminder. Half an hour went by very quickly. The mid-tier beastmaster teams immediately rushed forth.

The average strength of the beastmasters on this trip to the secret plane was much higher than the previous. While they were forging their way ahead, Zhang Che clearly saw several beastmasters were wearing legend-quality armors. Some people also summoned their legend-quality combat-type subdued beasts out.

On Hua Xia’s side, Zhang Che estimated the beastmasters had brought at least twice the number of legend-quality subdued beasts on this trip than the last!

Perhaps it was because the appearance of the gateway was much earlier than expected, and the factions were less confident, worried that their descendents would die inside, and thus pooled together a legend-quality beast card for them no matter what?

They were a thousand kilometers away from the tall, purple oval-shaped gateway deep in the mountain range. It went without saying large amounts of powerful exotic beasts were gathered ahead as well. The beastmasters were well aware it was impossible for them to reach the goal in one day.

Since that was the case, everyone was still acting very cautiously, not flying over on their mounts. After all, it was too dangerous that way. The result would be unimaginable if they were eyed by those truly powerful exotic beasts.

On Hua Xia’s side, however, there was an exception…
