Zhang Che was immediately interested. He slapped Hanxue’s neck lightly, telling him to go chase after the creatures.
Hanxue raised his head and neighed happily. This fellow had truly held it in for too long, and finally cried out.
Zhang Che couldn’t be bothered about it, either.
The scattered yellowish-brown furred wild beasts ahead were obviously not very strong. If they could live in this area so freely, it should indicate that the surroundings were rather safe.
Since that was so, why not let Hanxue let out his feelings? If he kept bottling everything up, what would Zhang Che do if Hanxue couldn’t make a sound in the future?
When his surroundings were finally free of those strange dark green plants, Zhang Che noticed that the air around him was suddenly much fresher. That vague smell of decay was nowhere to be found.
“What is going on? Why would there be two areas with such stark differences in the same world?” Zhang Che wondered, but no answer revealed itself.
The running speed of those yellowish-brown furred wild beasts was far from that of Hanxue’s. After passing through the tiny forest, a verdant green valley appeared in front of them, and Hanxue finally caught up to them.
Although they were referred to as small creatures, it was due to Zhang Che having seen too many large beasts in the beast worlds. When he saw these normal-sized wild beasts, he would subconsciously compare them with the exotic beasts from the beast world. Naturally he would feel that they were small.
In fact, these wild beasts running around in panic right now were about the size of young calves. Although they weren’t considered very big, they weren’t small by any means.
“Go, catch them all!” Zhang Che turned to look at the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon circling around him, commanding. The fellow immediately flew forth, his figure turned into a blur and captured all of the scattered wild beasts.
There were exactly five of them. Each of the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s claws were holding one of them, and the last was held in his mouth as he flew back to Zhang Che’s side.
The wild beasts had builds similar to deers. They were hornless, had long slender necks, and a layer of yellowish-brown fur. At this moment, they were caught by the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, shivering from the cold generated by the dragon’s aura, with no strength to break free.
They were actually ordinary wild beasts!
Zhang Che was very surprised. His data eyes didn’t show any attributes for these wild beasts.
If there weren’t any other unknown factors, they were definitely ordinary wild animals!
The Mutated Puffersword suddenly appeared in his hand, wanting to slaughter one of them to see if they were really only ordinary animals.
At that moment, a loud voice cried out from a few hundred meters away, finding its way into Zhang Che’s ear clearly, “Stop!”
Zhang Che creased his brow slightly and turned to look in the direction the voice originated from. He saw a few men, each riding their own subdued beasts, quickly running his way.
One of them seemed to worry that Zhang Che wouldn’t listen to them and hurriedly cried out loud again, “Brother, you can’t kill them!”
“Can’t kill them?” Zhang Che instantly grew interested.
-Do you think that you occupied this area first and thus everything on this land belongs to you?
-What nonsense!-
Zhang Che wasn’t someone who was afraid of getting into trouble, either. -If you want to snatch, you have to see if my babies will agree to it!-
A few five-colored rays of light shot out from between Zhang Che’s brow consecutively. The Scarlet Flame Drake, Purple Crystal Tortoise, and Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus all appeared at his side.
In the next moment, the sword in his hand stabbed towards the heart of one of the wild beasts.
The group of men were rapidly closing in. The well-built man at the fore of the group blanched in horror, crying out loudly, “You can’t kill them; there’ll be huge trouble!”
-Trouble?- Zhang Che immediately halted his thrust. The tip of the Mutated Puffersword was less than ten centimeters away from the wild beast’s heart. If his arm reached out just a little further, the sword would easily stab into its flesh, and blood would spatter.
Seeing Zhang Che was still hesitating slightly, the man stopped about a hundred meters away and shouted anxiously, “Brother, no blood must show, or disaster will immediately befall!”
Zhang Che naturally didn’t continue attacking. He could tell that the muscular man and the two beside him were all looking very nervous, as if they were worried that any accidental movement from his hand would cause the Mutated Puffersword to wound the animal.
“Disaster will befall? What huge trouble are you talking about?” Zhang Che was very curious about what they meant by disaster would befall once blood showed.
“In this green land, once blood is exposed, a black gale will blow from the sky. Even legend-quality subdued beasts might not be able to withstand it, so brother, please don’t make any moves, or it’ll be troublesome!” the burly man hurriedly explained to Zhang Che.
However, Zhang Che grew even more confused after hearing that.
“Green land” was still something easy to understand.
After all, the plants in this area were all very normal-looking. Looking around, everything was a lively green; calling it a green land was nothing strange.
But, what on earth was that black gale supposed to mean?
Zhang Che looked up to the sky; there was no difference to the layer of rocks above his head!
He blinked a few times, asking the man, “How big of an area will the black wind engulf if blood is exposed?”
The man was slightly taken aback, not understanding what Zhang Che meant, but still explaining out of goodwill, “Once blood is exposed, a black gale will immediately sweep through the surrounding hundred meter radius. All living creatures will be blown to powder in an instant. There is no chance of escaping it; so please, brother, don’t do anything stupid!”
Zhang Che finally understood why the three of them stopped a hundred meters away from him.
In the next moment, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon flew up high, bringing the wild animals with him and flew a few hundred meters out, while a bow appeared Zhang Che’s hand.
The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon loosened his jaw slightly, and that nearly-frozen animal suddenly plunged to the ground. Meanwhile, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon shook and flew back towards Zhang Che like a bolt of lightning.
In the next moment, the bow in Zhang Che’s hand was drawn to a full crescent. An arrow shot out, directly piercing through the falling animal, fresh blood gushing out of the hole on both sides.
Instantly, a huge black tornado appeared out of nowhere from the sky, blowing past the animal in the blink of an eye. The wind lasted for less than a second before dispersing.
In the air over there, nothing was left behind.
The plants in the area over there, however, were unharmed at all. They didn’t even sway a little, as if the black tornado didn’t appear at all.
Zhang Che’s mouth opened wide, unable to understand what the phenomenon was at all.
