Chapter 73: Chapter 73

Edited by RED

Although the doctor didn’t say anything about these exotic treasures during their last consultation, Zhang Che felt that this was perhaps a direction he could work in.

After all, humans had only entered the beast worlds for merely thirty-odd years, and most of it was mainly hunting the exotic beasts. There wasn’t much research done on the plants found on this side of the world.

Even those who specialized in researching all kinds of plants from the beast world were mostly beast card cultivators; their research was more towards using the plants as ingredients to raise the level and quality of beast cards.

It could even be said that in the current society, whether the natural treasures could be used to treat illnesses was still a blank.

There weren’t many such plants in the beast world, either. Only one or two of them appeared occasionally, often guarded by strong beasts. Except for those powerful beastmasters, it was impossible for ordinary people to snatch the plants from the guarding beasts.

Moreover, there was a maturation phase for these treasures, too. Once the phase arrived, it would either be quickly eaten by the exotic beasts who found them, or rapidly wither away, turning back into the spiritual qi in the beast world.

As the Five-Colored Spiritual Flower was getting closer to full maturity, the beastmasters from the Tian Yin Squad grew increasingly nervous. Every one of them were holding onto their composite bows carefully, arrows nocked, staring at the increasingly impatient Purple Jade Condor in the sky.

In the short span of about a quarter of an hour, the Purple Jade Condor initiated several attacks on them, but was fended off by that strongest member of the Tian Yin Squad every time with his arrows. It kept crying out fiercely as it circled in the sky.

Zhang Che carefully moved closer as well, inching closer to the Tian Yin Squad. After scaling two rugged stone piles, he was finally barely able to see the Tian Yin Squad members in the central area.

As for the Five-Colored Spiritual Flower, Zhang Che was unable to locate it, probably due to his obstructed vision. He felt an itch in his heart, wanting to see for himself what a legendary natural treasure looked like.

Another few minutes passed. The Tian Yin Squad members ahead suddenly cheered. The Purple Jade Condor cried out at the same time, hurriedly swooping down without any care.

“Block it!” the leader of the group cried out. The pure black bow in his hand was drawn to a full moon shape, nocked with a similarly black arrow, aimed at the Purple Jade Condor.

Sou sou sou…

The other beastmasters who couldn’t hold themselves in let loose the bowstrings between their fingers and quickly drew more arrows, shooting at the Purple Jade Condor continuously, catching it in a rain of arrows.

This time, the Purple Jade Condor no longer evaded, and allowed the arrows to land on its tough purple feathers. Its huge figure dove straight down at an open area in the middle of the stone forest.

That place was behind the backs of the Tian Yin Squad.

Without a doubt, the Five-Colored Spiritual Flower had matured!

“You guys must hang in there no matter what!” Zhang Che’s heart tightened, afraid that the beastmasters from Tian Yin Squad would be unable to fend off the Purple Jade Condor, allowing it to snatch the Five-Colored Spiritual Flower away. He had no way to steal something from the mouth of a flying exotic beast.

Seeing the Purple Jade Condor swooped down without any care, the sharp-chinned leader of the Tian Yin Squad let loose the bowstring he had drawn, shouting out with a cold gaze, “Get lost!”

Weng! The bow trembled violently. The black arrow shot out like lightning, reaching the Purple Jade Condor in an instant.

Even so, the Purple Jade Condor didn’t bother to evade at all as well, allowing the black arrow to pierce into its right chest. The two-foot long arrow was buried into its body almost entirely, and the purple feathers around the wound were pulled out along to the root by the sharp arrow head, floating down slowly.

Falling along with the feathers was a thread of crimson red blood.

After being shot by this arrow, the Purple Jade Condor finally swooped down successfully, generating a strong wind with its beating wings and swept the surrounding dozen beastmasters and their subdued beasts away, facing the black bow leader directly.

Forced into a direct confrontation with such a fierce beast suddenly, the sharp-chinned man didn’t show any trace of fear. He waved his hand extremely calmly, and several streaks of light shot out, turning into various subdued beasts around him, who charged at the Purple Jade Condor.

From the rear of the stone pile a short distance away, Zhang Che’s eyelid twitched at the sight. “Damn, this guy is actually a Tier Four beastmaster!”

It was no wonder this man managed to keep calm when facing the Purple Jade Condor. He actually had such a hand! Zhang Che scanned his subdued beasts, and he discovered that four of them were actually at four-star bronze-quality. The remaining subdued beast, which resembled a tiger, was even at silver-quality!

Undoubtedly, although the skill-less Purple Jade Condor was at three-star gold-quality, due to the huge difference in power between low-tier and mid-tier, it was no match for the tiger-like silver-quality subdued beast.

Not only that, the four bronze-quality subdued beasts were able to fight evenly against this three-star gold-quality beast with their combined strengths.

If it were any other time, the Purple Jade Condor could fly to the skies if it found itself not a match for them. No matter how powerful that beastmaster’s subdued beasts were, they wouldn’t be able to do a thing against it.

Alas, the Five-Colored Spiritual Flower’s allure was too great. The Purple Jade Condor was unwilling to give up on it just like that. Its instincts were telling it that if it consumed that matured Five-Colored Spiritual Flower, it had an extremely high chance of raising its quality, becoming a true lord of this area.

The Purple Jade Condor let out a resolute cry, and flew towards the sharp-chinned man’s subdued beasts without a care for its injuries.

“The difference in strength is a little too freaking much; how am I supposed to snatch that Five-Colored Spiritual Flower like that?” Zhang Che grew anxious from watching this. -Is this fellow stupid, or what? Fighting where your enemies have an advantage over you; a beast is, as expected, a beast after all. Its intellect leaves a lot to be desired.-

If the Purple Jade Condor was unable to deal a certain amount of damage to the Tian Yin Squad, Zhang Che really didn’t have the courage to rush up and snatch the Five-Colored Spiritual Flower from them.

Let alone other factors, just that four-star silver-quality tiger subdued beast was sufficient to destroy him.

Moreover, that sharp-chinned man still had his horrifying black bow!

“Should I use the Mutated Puffersword’s Sonic Wave to give them a treat?”

Seeing the Purple Jade Condor was unable to even put up a resistance against the four beasts’ combined attack as expected, Zhang Che’s pupils darted around, and a golden beast card appeared in his hand.

However, he didn’t feel confident at all.

As a beastmaster’s Tier went higher, although there wouldn’t be too much of a difference physically, the strength of their spiritual sea would multiply.

Zhang Che didn’t dare to guarantee that his attack would make the sharp-chinned man lose consciousness. If the man remained conscious, he could command his powerful subdued beasts to attack. Although Zhang Che could ride on Hanxue and escape, he would lose his chance to steal that Five-Colored Spiritual Flower.

-What should I do?-
