Chapter 500 - Too Bad For You, Running Into the Angry Me

The six black crows weren’t too close. They were flying in the skies about two hundred meters away, sending golden light down continuously, angering Zhang Che to no end.

-Too shameless, too despicable!

-Which exotic beast does battle like this?-

Even so, Zhang Che was helpless against such a shameless tactic.

It was impossible for him to run. They were but a few epic-quality exotic beasts. It’d be too shameful for him to run. Zhang Che couldn’t do that!

But if he insisted on fighting, there didn’t seem to be a way for him to enjoy the battle. Left without a choice, Zhang Che could only let the Scarlet Flame Drake and the elemental queen keep assaulting the crows with their fire attacks. Meanwhile, the Earthen Rock Demon and the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon at the side weren’t idle, either.

Although the Earthen Rock Demon’s rock spear attacks weren’t very threatening to epic-quality exotic beasts, it was enough to keep those six black crows in check, and they didn’t dare act too presumptuously.

On the other hand, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s Extreme Yin Ray was a huge threat to those black crows. However, it was a skill attack. Even though its cooldown time was only a minute long, its sustainability was too low. It wasn’t able to influence the battle too greatly.

If he wasn’t afraid of the crows’ greater numbers, in addition to the power of the golden lights being a little too terrifying, Zhang Che really wanted to charge right ahead on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon and let them have a taste of the scarlet and white sword.

For a period of time, various colored bursts of light kept shining in this area. The sound of explosions rose and fell. Countless energy waves swept in all directions, devastating almost all the vegetation on this hill. Not only that, a thick layer of soil and rocks was shaved away.

Even so, despite the seemingly intense battle, no casualties appeared on either side.

Both parties were throwing attacks at one another from two hundred meters away. In fact, their attacks weren’t that strong. They only seemed frightening on the surface.

Just like that, the situation remained at a standstill for several minutes, and Zhang Che grew tired of it.

The murder of crows was truly too cautious. Even though they held all the advantages, they actually had no intention of diving down at all.

“Retreat!” After thinking for a short while, Zhang Che finally recalled the Scarlet Flame Drake and the Earthen Rock Demon helplessly. Afterwards, both he and the elemental queen got on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon and flew off, escaping.

It couldn’t be helped. There was no way the battle would end well. His opponents were too cautious and unwilling to come down, and Zhang Che was unable to use his killing moves.

If the fight continued, his subdued beasts and pets wouldn’t be able to gain any advantage. Those black crows held the geographical advantage, after all. Occupying the high ground gave them a little too much of an advantage. Zhang Che was afraid he wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

At present, his only option was to retreat!

Naturally the six black crows weren’t willing to let things go like that when they saw Zhang Che escaping on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon. They cawed noisily, chasing after him closely.

These fellows were obviously a mutated species; their flight speed was actually not any slower than the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, chasing right behind them.

Zhang Che had originally planned on luring those crows to the territory of a terrifyingly powerful exotic beast nearby and set them up, but he didn’t dare to try it in the end when he saw them following so closely.

Although Zhang Che could transform into an insignificant little frog to avoid the powerful exotic beast’s rage, the six black crows were chasing too closely. It would be impossible to fool them.

As such, it was likely that before any enraged powerful exotic beast killed the six black crows, Zhang Che would be obliterated by the crows’ golden lights first, not leaving a single bone intact!

Zhang Che’s idea didn’t seem feasible, but he quickly thought of another. A short distance ahead, a huge lake had suddenly entered his sight!

Zhang Che whispered to the elemental queen behind him, asking, “Are you scared of water?”

The elemental queen didn’t really understand what Zhang Che was asking, but she immediately replied, “Master, I’m not fond of water, but I’m not scared of it, either. It’s fine even if I fall into it, although I won’t be able to display much of my power.”

Zhang Che nodded, “That’s fine, then. I don’t need you to continue attacking, just hide in the water.”

Done speaking, he directly patted the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s back, signalling him to dive into the wide lake ahead.

“Gwa gwa gwa!” The black crows immediately grew anxious when they realized the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon wanted to enter the water. They shot out a round of golden lights at the same time, then increased their speed, trying to intercept the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon before he entered the water.

However, even a divine-quality exotic beast might not be able to intercept the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon if he wished to enter the water, let alone the black crows!

Hundreds of meters streaked past in an instant. In the next moment, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon shot into the water with a loud boom, raising a huge splash of water in the sky, plunging into the depths of the water with Zhang Che and the elemental queen.

The six black crows were enraged! Those people barged into their territory and killed so much of their food. In the end, they actually escaped into the water; how vexing!

In the end, the black crows, their anger going to their heads, dove down and hovered a few dozen meters above the water’s surface, unleashing a wave of golden lights below, blowing up the water and splashing more water everywhere.

At that moment, even as the splash of water rose to the skies, a scarlet and white streak of light suddenly flashed past them, puncturing the black crow closest to the water surface.

“Gwa!” it cawed miserably as a streak of blood spattered.

Although that black crow dodged to the side at the crucial moment and narrowly avoided getting struck in its vitals, a wound deep enough to reveal its bones appeared at the root of its wing on one side. A bunch of black feathers fell, accompanied by fresh crimson red blood.

Zhang Che, who had been silently enduring his frustration, finally got a sneak attack in and struck one of the black crows!

However, the black crows were epic-quality exotic beasts, after all. Even though they were caught off guard and suffered a hit from the scarlet and white sword, it wasn’t a life-threatening wound.

“What a pity! If the scarlet and white sword’s attack range was just a little further, at two hundred meters, at least two of these crows would have to forfeit their lives!”

A few dozen meters deep in the water, Zhang Che sensed the black crows gaining altitude in fearful haste, feeling very regretful about their thoughtless actions.

This was truly the most frustrating battle Zhang Che had ever participated in. Let alone being bombarded, he was even forced into the water!

Even though he carried out a sneak attack in the end, he wasn’t able to kill a single crow!

Most importantly, Zhang Che hadn’t even seen their attributes yet! He had no idea what these black crows were called!

-Freaking hell… I’ll remember you. When I advance to Tier Seven beastmaster, I’ll surely come back and find you for revenge!- Zhang Che cursed furiously inside while taking notice of the movements in the sky, swearing to get back at them

Of course, what mattered more than anything else was that Zhang Che was greedy for those six black crows. A family of exotic beasts of the same species at epic-quality! Let alone seeing anything like it in the past, Zhang Che had never even heard of that before!

If he could catch them all in one fell swoop, that would mean getting six identical epic-quality beast cards! Their value was immeasurable!

After waiting for some time, the water returned to its calm state from before. No more attacks came down from the sky, either.

Zhang Che had the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon change direction and emerge from the water to check things out. He discovered the six black crows had actually flown far away, nowhere to be seen now.

Zhang Che’s counterattack earlier had probably made those six black crows realize he was no pushover. Moreover, him hiding in the water had left the crows helpless against him, and they had no choice but to leave.

After all, they were afraid of Zhang Che sneak attacking them again. It wasn’t something easy to guard against. The scarlet and white sword’s attack speed wasn’t something epic-quality exotic beasts could dodge!

“Huuu… they finally left.” Zhang Che let out a long sigh. Encountering this kind of exotic beasts that fought so shamelessly had drained him. The black crows leaving was truly the best ending he could ask for.

As for this grudge, it wasn’t too late for Zhang Che to come back and take revenge when he grew stronger!

Just as Zhang Che was about to exit the lake and detour to the next spot with a high density of mid-tier exotic beasts to hunt them, he suddenly felt some commotion under the water.

Zhang Che’s spiritual sense was extremely sharp. Although it was dozens of meters away, he immediately determined that an exotic beast in the lake was quickly closing in on him.

“Heh, I didn’t want to bother with these shrimps in the first place, but I happen to be very frustrated right now, and you actually came knocking on my door on your own. You can’t blame me for what happens next!”

Zhang Che had a bellyful of anger with nowhere to vent it, and these water-type exotic beasts actually dared to come to him! Naturally he wouldn’t say no to them! A cold glint flashed in his eyes, his killing intent surging.

He was tired of eating birds and land creatures; switching up the flavor didn’t sound bad at all!
