Divine Beast Adventures

Edited by RED

The stone forest covered a rather wide area. Currently Zhang Che could only see the aerial beast circling in the sky from afar. He hadn’t seen any of the Tian Yin Squad members yet.

However, Zhang Che did overhear very faint voices conversing, but they were a little too far away. He couldn’t hear what they were talking about.

They were most likely discussing about how to shoot that aerial beast down from the sky, right?

-But there is only one aerial beast. How will they guarantee that it would drop a beast card after killing it?-, Zhang Che wondered. He moved carefully, inching deeper into the stone forest.

That flying beast couldn’t hold it in any longer after circling a few more rounds. It beat its wings, and dove down at a frightening speed.

In the next moment, imperceptible arrows shot up from the stone forest one after another, aiming at the diving aerial beast with a sharp whistling sound.

The flying beast let out a sharp cry. It beat its wings, generating a chaotic wind that neutralized most of the arrows. The remaining handful of arrows hit its body, but were deflected by its shockingly tough feathers.

“Damn, how ferocious!” Zhang Che gasped with his eyes wide. He didn’t dare to imagine how strong this exotic beast was.

As they were too far apart, Zhang Che was unable to see the aerial beast’s attributes. Curious about it, he couldn’t help but hasten his steps.

At the same time, Zhang Che was feeling very doubtful.

First, it had already been several hours. The Tian Yin Squad was obviously helpless against this exotic beast, but why were they still unwilling to leave?

Second, the aerial beast was similarly unable to do a thing to the Tian Yin Squad’s beastmasters. Why was it still tangling itself with them?

This fellow was a flying-type exotic beast. If it was unwilling to fight, it could just beat its wings and fly away immediately. Why was it acting so stubbornly?

-Perhaps the Tian Yin Squad members killed its offspring, or maybe they took its egg?-

Zhang Che couldn’t wrap his mind around this matter, and he could only continue going further into the stone forest carefully.

In the skies over on the other side, the aerial beast continued diving down after deflecting the arrows. When it came within a hundred meters above the stone forest, a dark streak of light suddenly shot up into the sky like a bolt of lightning, whizzing straight toward the aerial beast’s eye.

It was like a great enemy was upon the aerial beast once the dark streak shot out. Unable to avoid it, the aerial beast could only use its sharp beak to peck at it, clashing against the dark light.

Dang! A crisp sound of metal clashing rang out. Zhang Che actually saw sparks flying in the air.

Under the violent clash, the dark streak of light shattered into countless pieces, scattering in all directions. Meanwhile, the aerial beast let out a pained reverberating cry. It beats its wings fiercely, soaring higher up into the sky.

It was obvious that there was a swordsmanship expert among the beastmasters of the Tian Yin Squad, and his archery skills was even first-rate, to be able to fend off against such a powerful exotic beast’s attack.

This also made Zhang Che even more curious. What exactly was in this stone forest that made the Tian Yin Squad and the aerial beast battle on for such a long time?

When the aerial beast couldn’t contain itself any longer and swooped down once more, Zhang Che finally saw its attributes.

==========

Zhang Che was a little taken aback after seeing the Purple Jade Condor’s attributes. Afterwards, he couldn’t help but purse his lips, “It’s actually a three-star gold-quality beast! No wonder it’s so powerful! However, it doesn’t have a skill. Bad!”

An exotic beast had to be at least gold-quality before gaining a skill. However, not all gold-quality beasts would have one.

Zhang Che’s luck was considered not bad; his gold-quality beast card, the Mutated Puffersword, and his gold-quality pet, Hanxue, both had skills. Thus, he was a little disappointed when he saw that the Purple Jade Condor was without one.

After all, having a skill or not held too much sway towards the combat potential of an exotic beast!

Take this three-star gold-quality Purple Jade Condor, for example. If it had an offensive skill, the subdued beasts of the Tian Yin Squad members would surely find themselves in for a tragic time. It would be impossible for them to fight against this aerial exotic beast for so long.

“I’m thinking too much. It doesn’t matter whether this fellow has a skill or not; it’s not something I can kill currently.” Zhang Che said self-mockingly, shaking his head. He became even more careful moving around.

The Purple Jade Condor’s innate attribute was ‘Keen Eyes’; its observational prowess was simply off the charts. If it noticed Zhang Che and took him as a member of the Tian Yin Squad, targeting him instead, what would he do then?

Unbeknownst to Zhang Che, the Purple Jade Condor had actually noticed him when he approached this stone forest. It was only due to certain unknown reasons that it ignored him.

Just as Zhang Che was slowly climbing up onto a weirdly-shaped stone, a man suddenly yelled out fiercely. “Focus, you guys! The Five-Colored Spiritual Flower is about to fully mature any moment now. I think that beast up there will be going all out; don’t get careless and let it swoop down at us! If anyone lets that beast get that Five-Colored Spiritual Flower due to their negligence, don’t blame me for not taking our brotherly sentiments into account!”

“Don’t worry, Chief, we know what to do. As long as we bring the Five-Colored Spiritual Flower back, we can drown in pleasure for at least a whole month. We’ll definitely not let that beast come swooping down at us!”

“That’s right, Chief! We’ll stop that beast even if we have to risk our lives!”

They echoed out in agreement with each other. Zhang Che could even tell how excited they were from their voices.

“Five-Colored Spiritual Flower… what is that?” Although Zhang Che had no idea what that was, analyzing everything that was happening before him, he instantly realized that this Five-Colored Spiritual Flower was definitely not simple.

Obviously, it should be one of those rumored extremely rare treasures in the beast world.

That Purple Jade Condor probably discovered the Five-Colored Spiritual Flower in this stone forest long ago and was guarding it, waiting for it to mature.

Alas, the Tian Yin Squad came here, whether by coincidence or by some lead, and tried to drive the Purple Jade Condor away, wanting to monopolize it for themselves. Thus this battle, that had raged on for a few hours, had started.

“A natural treasure! If I could snatch it from the hands of the Tian Yin Squad, I wonder if it’ll help with mom’s illness?”

Zhang Che’s eyes immediately shone with light!
