Chapter 363 - A Tragedy Triggered By a Little Snake

Zhang Che truly didn’t expect his luck today would be this bad.

Putting aside failing to catch up to the Nirvana Snake King, a bunch of intruders even popped up all of a sudden, obviously here to snatch his prey.

Since he was already seeing red with anger, if this bunch of people really were to act tactlessly, Zhang Che didn’t mind getting his hands dirty.

As for whether he had the strength to handle the two teams of beastmasters, Zhang Che wasn’t worried at all.

The Purple Crystal Tortoise was his biggest trump card.

This fellow, together with the bone spikes, was simply an existence akin to the bane of beastmasters. Unless beastmasters had epic-quality armor, there was basically no chance of them surviving the Purple Crystal Tortoise’s skill.

While Zhang Che was praying for the beastmasters not to come to their deaths, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon finally went into SEED mode.

Inside his crystallized body, the abyssal cold aura suddenly erupted. His speed received a huge boost, breaking through the sound barrier. A loud rumble exploded as they flew towards the Nirvana Snake King like a bolt of lightning.

“It’s best that we catch up, or there’ll be tons of trouble afterwards!”

Zhang Che knew that given the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s strength, it would be damaging itself to maintain supersonic flight. If they didn’t catch up to that slippery snake soon, things would get complicated when the groups of beastmasters got involved.

The Nirvana Snake King ahead suddenly received a huge shock when it sensed the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon behind it approaching faster.

It truly didn’t think that fellow could still put up a chase despite its “jet engines” operating at maximum horsepower. It was too shocking.

However, it glanced ahead and quickly made a turn with its nimble body, changing its bearing slightly.

The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon changed its direction at the same time, too, following behind it closely, emitting a wave of loud rumbles.

The oncoming beastmasters ahead had noticed the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon was flying at supersonic speed, too, and were astonished at the fact.

However, would they give up so easily after finding a boss tier storage-type exotic beast?

Every one of them only hesitated for a bit before deciding to go ahead with their original plan.

“Long-shao, are we joining in, too? It doesn’t seem to be a good choice to offend that beastmaster,” the leader of the bodyguards at Zhen Long’s side asked in hesitation.

At present, the Nirvana Snake King was all that was in Zhen Long’s eyes. Nothing else mattered to him. He immediately answered firmly, “What’s there to be scared of with so many people going together? We just have to find an opportunity to steal the beast and make a run for it immediately afterwards. That man’s flying beast must have erupted its potential; it surely can’t keep it up for long. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have arrived at this mountain after us.”

The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s features were too distinct, after all. Zhen Long only had a brief encounter with Zhang Che earlier and had a clear impression of this subdued beast. Not only that, he had accurately deduced that the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s supersonic speed was only a temporary burst, unable to last long.

Moreover, they were not the only ones here to snatch prey. There were a few more groups of beastmasters nearby. No matter how strong that beastmaster was, how much could he do on his own?

If Zhang Che was smart, he could only give up on that boss-tier Nirvana Snake obediently, or he would be the first to die!

After the Nirvana Snake King made the turn, the few groups of beastmasters who the Nirvana Snake King was originally flying towards were suddenly in a race against Zhang Che, chasing behind the sly exotic beast.

“Everyone, I discovered this exotic beast first. I ask for you to stop here immediately to prevent a misunderstanding!” Zhang Che shouted loudly, his brow deeply creased.

Although he knew these beastmasters were determined to come pick up scraps, Zhang Che decided to give them a chance. It all depended on whether they treasured it.

Alas, these intruders were not willing to give up on such a precious beast just like that.

A rather cunning-looking young beastmaster from one of the groups sneered, rebuking Zhang Che’s words. “Hahaha, you’re speaking so lightly. This Nirvana Snake boss was obviously discovered by everyone at the same time. We’ll just contest for it with our own abilities. If you were the first to discover it, how could it still be alive?”

“Right, right, it’s obvious everyone discovered the snake at the same time. By what right are you claiming it for yourself?”

“Yeah, as the saying went, treasures don’t belong to anyone to begin with. Anyone with the strength could claim it for themselves. You’re obviously unable to catch up to the exotic beast. Why can’t we try it for ourselves?”

The beastmasters replied one after another.

Their intentions were clear as day. They wanted to scare Zhang Che into backing off with their strength in numbers, then everyone would contest for it with their own strength. Whoever had the capability would get it in the end.

Zhang Che was huffing in anger. -Every one of you are just relying on your numbers. You’re really intent on snatching!-

“I’ll give you a last warning. I was the first to discover this Nirvana Snake King. Please get out of the way, or don’t blame me for not giving you any warning in advance if any accidental injuries occur!”

“Hahaha, come. I’ll see how you’re going to injure us by accident!”

A wave of laughter rang out from the groups of beastmasters immediately. They finally understood this kid was only putting up a strong front. If he truly had any method to speak of, he would have used them long ago to slay the exotic beast. Would he need to be making a scene right now?

“How stubborn!” A cold glint flashed in Zhang Che’s eyes. Sensing that the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon wouldn’t be able to hold on for much longer, in order to make sure he wouldn’t be affected in his hunt for the Nirvana Snake King, he could only steel his heart and gave the Purple Crystal Tortoise the order to attack.

The Purple Crystal Tortoise immediately opened its mouth. A deep golden streak of light invisible to the naked eye flashed. The head of one of the beastmasters in the group closest to him suddenly exploded. Even his high-tier dark gold-quality armor wasn’t able to withstand the powerful penetrative attack!

“Shit, what happened?!”

Seeing their companion suddenly losing his head, followed by his corpse silently falling to the ground, the group of beastmasters were astonished. They hurriedly ordered their flying beasts under them to fly in an arc.

“It must be that brat’s doing! Everyone, go! Kill him!”

The Purple Crystal Tortoise’s sneaky attack had given those beastmasters a bad scare. However, their eyes were clouded by their greed, and they didn’t choose to leave immediately. Instead, they all rushed up together towards Zhang Che, trying to kill him.

In their minds, such a terrifying attack was surely the skill of Zhang Che’s subdued beast. Once it expended its skill, there wouldn’t be any threat to them. Who didn’t know that subdued beasts’ skills had a cooldown time?

Since that was so, everyone could rush up at once and kill that brat. Afterwards, it wouldn’t be too late for them to go chase that little flying snake.

Seeing the beastmasters were all flying towards him on their aerial beasts, a cruel smile flashed on Zhang Che’s face. He gritted his teeth, saying, “You’re the ones looking to die. Don’t blame me!”

In the next moment, everyone suddenly felt an extreme sense of danger in their hearts, causing their faces to change greatly as they directed their flying beasts to evade.

Alas, everything was too late by then.

At Zhang Che’s command, the Purple Crystal Tortoise opened its mouth once more.

An invisible storm shot out from the Purple Crystal Tortoise’s mouth. A hundred and seven bone spikes darkened the sky as they shot towards every one of the beastmasters at supersonic speed.
