In just a few minutes, the first batch of Maneater Leeches that jumped out from the forest were wiped out by Zhang Che and his beasts, contributing five two-star bronze-quality cards to him.

If it were any other ordinary Tier Three beastmaster, this would already be considered a huge profit.

Even so, Zhang Che was still not satisfied.

His target was not only these ordinary Maneater Leech cards, but the silver-quality card he initially obtained by killing a silver-tier Purple-Gold Maneater Leech through a stroke of luck.

Back then, Zhang Che was raising money to cure his mother’s illness. He endured the pain in his heart and sold the silver-quality beast card.

Now that he was much stronger than before, naturally he wanted to get such a beast card for himself.

“If I can get a Purple-Gold Maneater Leech card, I won’t have any problems with my defense in the short term. No one would be able to break my defenses, unless it was some extraordinarily powerful exotic beast.”

As Zhang Che picked up the five bronze-quality beast cards scattered about, he looked further into the forest.

If he wanted to obtain a silver-quality defensive-type beast card, he needed to scout further in. There was no other way.

However, the situation further in the forest was unknown. The dangers were too huge; Zhang Che couldn’t help but hesitate.

To go or not to go? That was the problem.

Although Zhang Che had the Fusion skill and could produce a three-star bronze-quality defensive-type beast card, it was still a little worse compared to a two-star silver-quality card.

“Then, I’ll just use the old way: fishing!”

Following Zhang Che’s command, the Wind Shadow Wolf suddenly burst into motion, and swept forward like a gale, racing tens of meter ahead in the blink of an eye.

In the instant the Wind Shadow Wolf suddenly charged into the forest, a huge bunch of Maneater Leeches jumped out once more from the dense bushes, pouncing at the Wind Shadow Wolf.

The Wind Shadow Wolf’s speed and nimbleness was displayed to its limit at this time. Its large figure was akin to a racing kitten, rushing back and forth, dodging left and right. It actually managed to escape from the encirclement of dozens of Maneater Leeches.

Zhang Che’s eyes shone watching this scene. With just this, the Wind Shadow Wolf’s usefulness was no less than the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly. It even proved to be a little more useful than the Fiery Scorpion!

The concentrated bunch of Maneater Leeches were unable to land a hit. Their soft bodies contracted and shot out once more, trying to latch onto the Wind Shadow Wolf.

Zhang Che’s sharp eyes noticed that among this batch of Maneater Leech, there was one of them with purple-gold patterns on its body!

“Nice. I finally lured those guys out!”

However, only one Purple-Gold Maneater Leech was not enough. Zhang Che couldn’t guarantee that his luck would be as good as before, obtaining a beast card with only a single kill.

Thus, the Wind Shadow Wolf continued running deeper into the forest by several dozen meters. Everywhere it went, there would be Maneater Leeches jumping out from the bushes, joining those who were already chasing it.

When the Wind Shadow Wolf toured around the forest ahead and came back, there were at least a hundred Maneater Leeches chasing behind it. The number of Purple-Gold Maneater Leeches chasing it also filled up the fingers on his hand.

“Now’s the time!” Zhang Che’s eyes shone. He pointed the Mutated Puffersword at them, activating the Sonic Wave attack.

Invisible sound waves spread out in a fan shape. The Maneater Leeches who were caught in it were impeded, slowing down greatly. Their soft bodies fell to the ground, writhing around rapidly.

“These disgusting water leeches are actually resistant toward sound waves!”

What disappointed Zhang Che was that even the ordinary Maneater Leeches weren’t severely injured by the Sonic Wave attack. They were merely slowed down and were unable to continue pursuing and attacking.

If it were any other two-star bronze-quality exotic beasts, the sound waves would have caused a large amount of casualties among them.

The handful of silver-quality Purple-Gold Maneater Leeches weren’t even affected that much. They continued chasing the Wind Shadow Wolf. With every pounce they made, they would shoot forward over twenty meters, causing a great deal of trouble for the Wind Shadow Wolf.

The only thing that made Zhang Che feel assured was that the Wind Shadow Wolf actually managed to narrowly dodge the Purple-Gold Maneater Leeches’ fervent attacks continuously, never getting hit.

“It’s up to you next!” Zhang Che set his gaze towards the restless Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly by the side, issuing an order to attack. This large butterfly with a horrifying pattern on its wings fluttered them and flew ahead.

Concentrated poison powder drifted down, like a thin layer of grey smoke emerging out of nowhere, setting a poisonous trap along the Wind Shadow Wolf’s path.

As expected, the Maneater Leeches’ intelligence wasn’t high. They didn’t notice any problems with this layer of grey smoke and directly went through it.

What followed after was thoroughly tragic for them.

Ordinary Maneater Leeches directly fell weakly to the ground unmoving after the poison powder came into contact with them, as if their acupoints had been struck.¹

Even the Purple-Gold Maneater Leeches were greatly affected. They were like drunken men, and could only slowly crawl forward, without a shred of offensive capability left.

“Go, get rid of them fast!” The impatient Fiery Scorpion followed Zhang Che’s footsteps closely after receiving his command, rushing forward. Its red glowing stinger aimed right at a Purple-Gold Maneater Leech’s rear orifice, swiftly stabbing into it accurately and injecting a lethal amount of fire-attributed toxin.

Zhang Che, who was a few steps behind the Fiery Scorpion quickly came up and slashed down with the Mutated Puffersword in his hand, drawing an arc in the air that carried a deathly aura with it, splitting a Purple-Gold Maneater Leech in two.

Judging from the feedback, Zhang Che found out, much to his surprise, that the defense of the Purple-Gold Maneater Leech’s skin was actually slightly tougher than ordinary steel. It was no wonder the Fiery Scorpion’s stinger was unable to penetrate it!

It was fine this way, too. If he obtained such a defensive-type beast card, he wouldn’t need to worry about ordinary low-level exotic beasts’ physical attacks!

==[You Killed a Purple-Gold Maneater Leech. Obtained 8 Points of Soul Force.]==

==[You Killed a Purple-Gold Maneater Leech. Obtained 8 Points of Soul Force.]==

Two notifications of Zhang Che killing exotic beasts rang out in his mind simultaneously. He looked to the side, and saw that the Purple-Gold Maneater Leech stung by the Fiery Scorpion earlier was turning into a streak of light under a red glow.

A pity, however, that he didn’t get any beast cards, despite killing two Purple-Gold Maneater Leeches. His luck was a little bad, as expected.

-Luckily, there are still three more Purple-Gold Maneater Leeches. I don’t believe not a single silver-quality beast card will drop!-

Without any pause, Zhang Che and the Fiery Scorpion continued their hunt and jumped on another Purple-Gold Maneater Leech.

On the other front, after the Wind Shadow Wolf realized that its claws couldn’t do a thing to the Purple-Gold Maneater Leech’s defenses, it could only helplessly redirect its aggression towards the ordinary Maneater Leeches to the side.

Attacking wasn’t the Wind Shadow Wolf’s strength, after all.

Just as Zhang Che cut apart the second Purple-Gold Maneater Leech, he suddenly felt his scalp going numb, and turned his head to look deeper into the forest apprehensively. He saw an enchanting purple lightning flashing in his vision, flying straight his way.
