Zhang Che showed a radiant smile on his face, bending his body lower, bringing his face closer to the frisky monkey’s, saying, “Here, here, look at daddy’s sincere eyes. I’ll be counting on you to make a living from today on. Do your best!”

“Zhi…” the frisky monkey rolled his eyes back, and directly fell backwards. After that, he crawled back to his feet and showed his back to Zhang Che, slapping his butt cheeks lightly and turned back around, making a face at his master.

“You freaking…” Zhang Che raised his foot and kicked the frisky monkey. Immediately after, he burst out into laughter.

The sounds of laughter reverberated through the long and dark tunnel, like the howls of malicious spirits…

——

The night passed. It was now fifteenth of June.

At the break of dawn, Zhang Che rode the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon, hovering in the air of the valley that contained his base, surrounded by a mass of clouds. An army of subdued beasts and pets followed behind them, giving off an impressive appearance.

“If nothing goes wrong, I should rise to Tier Four today… Let’s move out, boys!”

With a wave of his hand, the team of beasts was recalled back into Zhang Che’s spiritual sea, with the exception of the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon and Purple Jade Condor. After that, they set off along the outskirts of the mountain range that extended behind his base.

They flew at high speed, passing by countless mountains and streams.

After noticing a large amount of exotic beasts between two mountains ahead of them, Zhang Che ordered his flying beasts to stop. He landed on the ground and summoned the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander, Gale Wolf King, and his other capable subdued beasts, slaughtering their way forward majestically.

What followed after was a stroke of tremendously bad luck for the exotic beasts in this area.

Any exotic beasts that entered Zhang Che and his babies’ sights were basically done for, unless they could burrow into the ground and, survive this ordeal.

——

Over the last few days, Zhang Che had occasionally discovered the tracks of other beastmasters. However, Zhang Che chose to detour around them with no exceptions, in order to prevent them from seeing his army of subdued beasts and pets.

No matter if it were his subdued beasts or pets, they all drew a little too much attention. He would try to keep a low profile as best as he could.

Although Zhang Che wasn’t afraid of the beastmasters who would appear in these areas, humans were unpredictable. Who could be sure that none of them knew some other powerful beastmasters? Who could be sure that none of them would be attracted by Zhang Che’s powerful beasts after seeing them, and go on to gather a group of experts to attack him from all sides, forcing him to hand over his beast cards?

Like his homeroom teacher, Teacher Han, had told him, the human heart was more often than not more dangerous than exotic beasts. No matter how careful you were, it wouldn’t be too excessive.

It was exactly because of this caution that Zhang Che hadn’t been spotted by any beastmasters for the past few days. At the most, they’d see the Purple Jade Condor flying in the sky, streaking across their line of sight. They only took it as a powerful exotic beast flying past.

——

Time flowed by silently. Zhang Che spent another half a day in this area before he knew it.

During this half a day’s time, Zhang Che had great harvests again. Although he didn’t obtain any gold-quality or higher beast cards, he obtained more than ten three- or four-star silver-quality beast cards, not to mention a bunch of bronze-quality cards. There were so many of them that he couldn’t even be bothered to keep count.

“I’m almost there! Just a little bit more!”

Feeling the soul force in his spiritual sea accumulating to a certain degree, on the verge of a qualitative change, Zhang Che’s eyes lit up.

He only needed to hunt another hundred or so three-star bronze-quality exotic beasts at most to become a Tier Four beastmaster.

If he hunted exotic beasts that were of a higher level or quality, the number of beasts required would be less.

“Work hard, young man. If everything went smoothly, we can return tomorrow morning!”

—

In order to advance as soon as possible, Zhang Che split his army of beasts into two groups, one of them led by the Purple Jade Condor, accompanied by the Fiery Scorpion and Gale Wolf King.

The other team was, naturally, led by Zhang Che himself. He was riding on the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon, and the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander ran on the ground, the frisky monkey wielded the Falling Star Model X, and the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly was on standby.

The two teams were about two kilometers apart, advancing in the same direction. Hunting separately raised their efficiency greatly.

“I should have done this long ago!” Zhang Che slapped his forehead lightly, feeling annoyed. With his current strength, there was no need to worry about encountering any danger around the outskirts of the mountain range. He should have done this a few days ago; perhaps he would have advanced to Tier Four some time ago!

However, it wasn’t too late for him to discover this now. At the very least, Zhang Che could guarantee that he would advance to Tier Four before the sky turned dark.

——

While Zhang Che was working hard killing exotic beasts, a middle-aged beastmaster was watching him from the top of a mountain several hundred meters away, sizing him up with his eyes narrowed.

This man had long and narrow eyes, with a Van Dyke beard. His appearance looked rough, with traits of a sly and cunning character.

He was wearing a gold-green hard armor, with only his head exposed. His hands were empty, but he was surrounded by five extraordinary subdued beasts.

It meant that this middle-aged man was at least a Tier Five beastmaster, perhaps even Tier Six.

“That is a flood dragon-type subdued beast? Interesting!”

Even though they were several hundred meters apart, the middle-aged man could tell that beast Zhang Che was riding on was actually a flood dragon. This man’s eyesight was unusually sharp!

After pondering for a few seconds, the middle-aged man waved his hand, recalling four of his subdued beasts back into his spiritual sea, and jumped onto the back of a green-feathered flying beast at his side, and flew towards the valley Zhang Che was in.

What was even more astonishing was that this middle-aged man’s flying beast was actually flying at nearly three hundred kilometers per hour, and yet there weren’t any traces of discomfort on the man’s face. It went to show how tough his body was, and how much stronger than an ordinary human he was.

—-

The distance of several hundred meters were covered in the blink of an eye.

“Hm?” Zhang Che suddenly noticed something as the green flying beast rapidly closed the distance between them. He hurriedly turned his head to look, and his heart immediately sank.

The man who was approaching came with ill intent!

Sitting on the green flying beast’s back, the middle-aged man waved his hand. Three silvery flashes and one golden flash suddenly shot out from between his brows, turning into four beasts of various shapes and sizes on the ground, all closing in on Zhang Che.

Among the three silver-quality subdued beasts, one of them was a six-meter-long totally black tiger , a huge mantis with a brown back and emerald green belly, and a rock giant about five meters tall.

As for the gold-quality subdued beast, it was a scarlet-furred fox with a wolf-shaped body.

The four subdued beasts were actually all six-starred!

Not only that, the middle-aged man was wearing a three-star dark gold-quality armor, and was riding on a five-star gold-quality flying beast. Anyone who heard of his strength would be struck with fear!

Without thinking, Zhang Che knew that there was no chance he could possibly be a match for this man, not even if the Purple Jade Condor came rushing back from the other side.

However, since this man was approaching him for no apparent reason, his aim shouldn’t be to kill Zhang Che.

Then… the only possibility was that the middle-aged man was interested in the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon under Zhang Che. He wanted to force Zhang Che to hand over this obviously extraordinary “subdued beast” with brute strength!
