At the same time, in the beast world behind the Jin City spatial gateway…
In the hunting zone, Zheng Hongru, Xiao Yi and the others were hiding in a valley with complicated terrain, looking cautiously at a large brown-skinned lizard over three meters long ahead.
The official hunt started yesterday. All of them were equipped with the new beast cards Zhang Che left them, the strongest subdued beast being the two-star silver-quality Stinger Bee King and the two-star gold-quality Demonic Shadow Mantis.
After Zhang Che’s incident, they considered directly withdrawing from the test.
However, when they thought of how Zhang Che encouraged them in the few days he had spent with them, Zheng Hongru and the others decided to stay behind and take the test in the end.
Paraphrasing Sun Zhi, “Although Brother Che is no longer around, he left us a bunch of decent beast cards. We have to make good use of these beast cards and strive for a decent ranking in this test, enter a university and further our studies.
“Moreover, Brother Che’s mother is waiting for him back home in Qian Wei City. We have to get stronger and help Brother Che take good care of his mother.”
The four of them carefully hid themselves from sight, and shifted their gazes to that brown lizard in the valley ahead, calculating whether they could kill it.
Previously, they used a useless two-star black iron-quality beast to test the water. This lizard didn’t look the part, but its strength was indeed very strong. In just a few moves, it shredded the black iron-quality subdued beast apart and reduced it to dissipating light.
From their estimate, its strength shouldn’t be lower than three-star silver-quality.
After a brief silence, Zheng Hongru turned his head and took a glance at Li Da, who was at the side, saying, “Li Da, send another trash beast over. Don’t commit it to battle this time. Just try to lure that big lizard over here.”
Li Da nodded. With a wave of his hand, a boar-like subdued beast rushed out, charging towards the big lizard.
Seeing more prey running its way, an excited glint immediately shone in its eyes. When it killed the previous beast earlier, its prey disappeared for some unknown reason. It couldn’t get any better now that another meal came to its doorstep.
The boar charged into the valley, and suddenly a large lizard came pouncing at it, scaring it into turning tail and running immediately.
However, the lizard was extremely quick on its feet. It caught up to the boar in the blink of an eye.
Just as it pounced at its prey at opened its mouth wide, biting down at the boar’s thigh, a black silhouette suddenly flashed out from the bushes at the side. Before it knew what happened, a deep cut had appeared on its neck, fresh blood spurting from it.
At the same time, a “biological nuke” rose from the bushes at the opposite side and shot out an extremely sharp needle from about a dozen meters away, aimed at the brown lizard’s hind leg.
Strong poison instantly seeped in after the poisonous needle entered the brown lizard’s hind leg, leaving the exotic beast rolling about on the ground violently.
The black silhouette flashed past again, and another cut appeared on the brown lizard’s neck, connecting the two wounds together, slicing off its head.
As the exotic beast fell, it turned into a streak of light and condensed into a silvery beast card with three hexagrams on it in the end.
Zheng Hongru and the others cheered, and came running up to the spot.
At present, the four of them were no longer unable to make use of three-star beast cards.
During the past few days, after some discussions, they decided to allow Zheng Hongru to cross his final hurdles as much as possible, and he finally rose to Tier Three yesterday noon.
Now, with the addition of a three-star silver-quality subdued beasts in their ranks, the group’s overall strength had received another significant boost!
———-
In the cave, Zhang Che was looking at an uneven rock in front of him, about a cubic meter in size. He took a deep breath, then walked forward, grabbing this huge rock with both arms, and exerted his herculean strength.
“Up!” Zhang Che yelled. The muscles on his entire body tightened. This large rock, about two tons in weight, was actually lifted from the ground!
With both arms carrying the huge rock in his embrace, Zhang Che paced around in the cavern until his arms were sore. His breathing grew heavy and frequent, before he finally threw the rock away.
“Strength to move mountains and unrivalled spirit! I wonder if the Conqueror of Western Chu, Xiang Yu, was as strong as me?”
&123;TLN: The part about moving mountains and spirit is the first line of the poem Xiang Yu recited in his final moments.&125;
After thinking a little, Zhang Che felt that he was stronger.
If his calculations were right, this huge rock weighed over two tons. Converted to market catties, it was over four thousand catties!
Let alone Xiang Yu, not a single fierce warrior in the ancient Chinese era of Earth would possess such great strength!
“Tsk, tsk. The effects of the Poison Fire Twin-Headed Dragons’ egg really came in fast, and are obvious!” Zhang Che praised. Afterwards, he turned to look at the other dragon egg, wondering how much would his strength increase if he ate that, too.
Why not act on it rather than just thinking about it? Not only did the dragon egg increase his strength, it was also unusually delicious! It was much more enjoyable than eating fruits; naturally Zhang Che wouldn’t hesitate.
There was no way he could bring it out of the beast card anyway. It was better to eat it and increase his strength.
He thought about the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword; that thing was about two meters long, its widest part about twenty centimeters across, and the thickest part of the blade’s spine close to five centimeters. Although it was a weapon-type beast card and its actual weight wouldn’t be too heavy, naturally the greater his strength the better it was if he wanted to swing it as he wished.
A crisp sound rang out. A hole was smashed open by Zhang Che on the remaining dragon egg. After that, Zhang Che quickly opened his mouth and brought his head closer, catching all the flowing egg white down to the last drop, swallowing it.
After another indeterminate amount of time, Zhang Che felt that he had completely digested the energy contained within the dragon egg. His body was filled with a sense of explosive strength.
He walked to the huge rock again, lowering his waist, grabbing the rock with both arms. His strength burst forth, easily lifting up the rock.
This time, Zhang Che wasn’t taking slow steps. He directly carried the rock and jumped about, although it was obvious it took great effort for him to do so. Despite not jumping high, both his feet were indeed off the ground at the same time.
“Very good. This dragon egg probably increased my strength by another five hundred kilograms or so. So, my strength should be over twenty five hundred kilograms!”
Zhang Che was overjoyed. He was truly someone who could move mountains with his strength now!
With his great strength, once he advanced to Tier Five and equipped himself with the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword, on top of the Purple Crystal Tortoise’s Purple Crystal Armor skill, he could totally transform into a human-sized gundam!
At that time, any exotic beast under divine tier without elemental attacks would probably be unable to stand against him, right?
It truly would be like slaying any gods or Buddhas who dared stand in his way!
