Seeing the bitter look on the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus’ face, Zhang Che couldn’t resist bursting out in laughter. “I already told you, endure it for now. We’ll go hunt a few more exotic beasts later. Too bad for you that you couldn’t hold it in.”
That was the thing with eating; you’d be better off if you didn’t eat a scrap. If you only had a bite or two and felt the satisfaction, then found out that there was no more, that feeling was truly the worst.
Well, now the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus was experiencing that terrible feeling to the fullest.
Alas, there was no other way. The remaining roasted meat was only enough to fill Zhang Che and the others. Instead of having everyone go on a half-filled stomach and still feel the pangs of hunger clawing at them, of course it was better to have the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus, whose appetite was the biggest, endure it for now.
When they were finally done eating, the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus felt as if his stomach was going on a rebellion.
Seeing Zhang Che stand up and waved his hand, this fellow immediately took the lead and went along the foot of the majestic mountain, raising loud thumps as he ran.
-Why are my pets all gluttons? Luckily, at least Hanxue doesn’t eat meat. Otherwise, we’d really become an army of gluttons.-
Zhang Che couldn’t help but feel deeply apologetic once he thought of Hanxue. This pitiful fellow had been locked up in his spiritual sea for close to half a month without getting any chances to take a breather outside. Gods knew how he was holding up.
However, what choices did Zhang Che have? He was also desperate.
Previously, he was either at home, or taking his entrance test. Now, he was stuck in this unknown beast world. It was too dangerous. Given Hanxue’s strength, it was very easy for an accident to occur, so Zhang Che could only let him remain in his spiritual sea.
“However, when we’re camping for the night on the mountain top, I can let him come out for a breather. After all, with the skeleton around, there wouldn’t be any danger.”
Zhang Che recalled the frisky monkey with a wave of his hand, then jumped onto the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon’s back and gave chase to the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus ahead.
When that fellow started running, the commotion he caused was too great. Even if there were any prey ahead, they would probably be alarmed by the sound; what prey could he hope to hunt?
It was no wonder such huge exotic beasts were only suitable to live in flat lands. When placed in such complicated mountain terrain, they would starve to death.
As expected, when the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon overtook the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus, Zhang Che saw a silver-armored beetle-like exotic beast in the distance, under the mountain foot, crawling frantically towards the valley at the side.
The silver-armored beetle wasn’t big; its body length was less than two meters… Okay, Zhang Che had basically been encountering huge exotic beasts during this period. A two-meter-long beetle was only considered not big in Zhang Che’s eyes now.
Although it wasn’t big, the silver armor on the beetle looked truly awe-inspiring. A sense of beauty oozed out from its entire body.
Zhang Che’s eyes shone brightly at the sight of it.
The Cold Abyss Flood Dragon instantly accelerated, leaving the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus in the dust, and soon caught up to the beetle, only a few dozen meters behind it.
At that moment, Zhang Che finally saw this beetle’s attributes.

Zhang Che’s eyes immediately lit up!
It wasn’t easy! After so long, he finally saw a low-tier dark gold-quality exotic beast! Although this Seven Star Silver Beetle’s attributes wasn’t too eye-catching, it was no doubt a mini treasure.
-What were we waiting for? Kill it!-
Compared to the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon, this Seven Star Silver Beetle was truly too slow.
Zhang Che decided to have some fun. He waved his hand, summoning the Purple Crystal Tortoise onto the back of the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon, and had it spit out a bone spike. He held it in reverse grip, throwing it at the Seven Star Silver Beetle with all his might.
A golden streak of light shot through the air. The two-meters-plus bone spike flew towards the Seven Star Silver Beetle… hitting the cliff about a dozen meters away and disappearing from Zhang Che’s sight.
He was speechless. -It seems like getting my spear throwing skills up to par isn’t something done overnight.-
After seeing Zhang Che’s attack missing by such a large margin, the Seven Star Silver Beetle was no longer in such a hurry to escape. It actually even had the time to take a moment and look back, its tiny eyes filled with disdain.
Zhang Che couldn’t take this!
He gritted his teeth and slapped the Purple Crystal Tortoise’s shell, saying angrily, “You do it!”
He was actually mocked by an insect! How depressing was that? Was he also like the frisky monkey, with no talent as a spear thrower?
The Purple Crystal Tortoise opened its mouth obediently, and in the next moment, part of the Seven Star Silver Beetle a few dozen meters ahead suddenly exploded loudly, a hole about the size of a bowl punched directly through its body!
The astonished Zhang Che saw a golden streak of light fly out of the Seven Star Silver Beetle’s body from the other side of the hole, its momentum not weakened one bit, and shoot deep into the cliff, leaving a circular hole of unknown depth behind.
“No, why did you…” Zhang Che turned to look at the Purple Crystal Tortoise in shock, not understanding why it would shoot out a bone spike. Wasn’t this fellow’s skill shooting rock spears?
However, looking back at the severely wounded Seven Star Silver Beetle laying on the ground, on the verge of dying, yellowish brown fluid flowing out of its wound, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck Zhang Che.
-Right, they’re all spears. Why wouldn’t the Purple Crystal Tortoise be able shoot those bone spikes?-
“Hahahaha, good boy, truly a good boy!”
After understanding this, Zhang Che almost couldn’t resist planting a kiss on the Purple Crystal Tortoise’s head. It turned out that this was the correct method to utilize the ferocious beast’s bone spikes!
With this, what need was there for him to go practice his throwing skills? Did he have too much time on his hands?
No matter how well he practiced, would it be as accurate and impactful as the Purple Crystal Tortoise’s supersonic attack?
The Seven Star Silver Beetle was a dark gold-quality beast that focused on defense, after all. Despite it being only two-star, its defensive strength wouldn’t be too shabby. However, the Purple Crystal Tortoise only needed to shoot a single spear to punch a hole in it, and the bone spike even penetrated deep into the cliff without slowing down at all!
This level of might would instantly kill every exotic beast, unless they were mid-tier legend-quality and above that excelled in defense!
With that, the Purple Crystal Tortoise finally had an attacking method that complemented its quality.
Although its original rock spear attack was also shot at supersonic speed, the rock spear’s quality was too low; even the Poison Fire Twin-Headed Dragon they encountered could withstand its Rock Spear Gatling attack without suffering a fatal wound.
What if the bone spikes were used instead?
Perhaps a single shot was all that was needed to repel the Poison Fire Twin-Headed Dragon now!
However, Zhang Che still didn’t really understand why the Purple Crystal Tortoise’s attack could use anything other than rock spears. There wasn’t anything like that recorded in its skill description at all.
Zhang Che couldn’t think it through, and could only chalk it up to the rainbow crystal’s interference during its advancement, causing some unknown changes.
Naturally, such changes were welcome!
From now on, the Purple Crystal Tortoise became Zhang Che’s undisputed number one beast, no matter if it was his subdued beast or pet, or be it attack or defense.
It had to be mentioned that this fellow’s level was still only at four-stars! If it could advance to six-stars in the future, its strength would definitely experience another huge increase!
Now, it was time to reap his harvest.
Zhang Che looked ahead once more, and to his shock, he discovered that the Seven Star Silver Beetle was actually struggling to crawl itself forward to the valley ahead, leaving a trail of yellowish brown fluid behind.
Its vitality was truly extraordinary!
