Chapter 339: Fisherman Halo Activated

The reason why Zhang Che came to the beast world and did not return to Hua Xia was because of that terrifying stone giant from before.

He estimated that with his current strength, he should be strong enough to challenge it head-on. After all, it was only a mid-tier epic-quality beast!

The combat strength Zhang Che possessed now was completely different from what it was when he first saw it.

Although there was only the addition of the Scarlet Flame Drake and the Mutated Giant Ape to his main force, Zhang Che had a powerful scarlet sword at his disposal, too!

Moreover, in the past, Zhang Che’s beasts had to return to his spiritual sea to recover once they were injured. They wouldn’t be back to their peak condition for ten minutes or so.

When battling against powerful beasts at the level of epic-quality, ten minutes was more than enough for Zhang Che to die many times over. But now, he had the Unicorn!

This meant that as long as his babies weren’t directly beaten to death by that stone giant, the Unicorn could restore them to their full fighting strength in an extremely short amount of time. His combat potential wouldn’t suffer much decline, if any!

In such a situation, it was akin to Zhang Che having an endless army of legend-quality beasts, taking turns to beat down the stone giant. There was no worry that he couldn’t grind it to death.

Of course, the main reason was that Zhang Che was confident his babies wouldn’t be killed instantly. Otherwise, if his babies started dying the moment the fight began, what did it matter, even if he did have the Unicorn?

“Even if I can’t win, that stone man shouldn’t be able to make me stay!” Zhang Che’s eyes were filled with confidence.

The stone man wasn’t able to keep him there during their first encounter. Now that he had become much stronger in every sense, how could he possibly be still afraid of a lump of rock?

The main problem right now was that he could only hope no powerful beastmasters had discovered that giant stone man, or Zhang Che could forget about all this.

Which one of those high-tier beastmasters who could roam as they pleased in the depths of the beast world didn’t have a few powerful subdued beasts of their own? Although it would certainly be troublesome to deal with exotic beasts at the giant stone man’s level, it definitely wouldn’t be very problematic.

Due to the beast world being at the edge of San Diego, there was high traffic in the areas around the safety zone.

Zhang Che did not dare to summon the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon there. He still cherished his life very much.

He could well imagine how terrifying the powers behind the pharmaceutical company were, seeing how they could construct such an enormous base to research an evolutionary fluid using the genes of exotic beast, and were not caught for so many years. They were definitely a power no weaker than the Miyazaki Clan!

He was all alone in the Bei Mei region. If he got careless and drew the eyes of others, it wouldn’t be easy for him to escape. Perhaps he might not even have the time to disguise himself!

After leaving the safety zone, Zhang Che immediately summoned the Purple Jade Condor, flying in the direction he had returned from the last time.

The area the terrifying giant stone man was at was about ten thousand kilometers away. He needed at least a week’s time to safely arrive at that area; he had to hurry.

He didn’t want to stay in the beast world for a month or two.

Although the Purple Jade Condor wasn’t as fast as the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, it could reach two hundred meters per second if it flew at its fastest. It could be considered extremely fast.

Before he realized it, the number of beastmasters on the ground below him had dwindled away. By the time he was a few hundred kilometers away from the safety zone, human traces could hardly be seen below.

After all, although San Diego had a pretty high population, and they had a high number of beastmasters, there was more than one spatial gateway around the city. After splitting the population up, naturally there wouldn’t be too many people to be seen.

The environment ahead became increasingly complicated. It was an endless mountainous region, with dense forests and wild growth.

Zhang Che suddenly felt moved.

Since he came to the depths of the beast world, why not try looking for some spiritual herbs?

After all, his father-in-law had connections to the relevant research institutions. No matter how peculiar the herbs he found were, it didn’t matter even if he had no knowledge of them.

Moreover, this wasn’t Hua Xia; why leave the good stuff for the foreigners?

Zhang Che immediately changed his mind. It didn’t matter even if he stayed here for some time. The Miyazaki Clan wouldn’t have the time or attention to spend on him. Why not use this opportunity to search through this beast world properly?

Thus, he had the Purple Jade Condor quickly descend to the core of the mountain range ahead, and summoned the frisky monkey.

“Zhizhi, zhizhi!” the frisky monkey cried out excitedly the moment he was out.

Speaking of which, that fellow had spent quite a long time in his spiritual sea. He had truly been deprived of freedom badly. Now that he could take a breather outside, how could he possibly not be cheering happily?

“What are you crying for? You’ll have plenty of time out here,” Zhang Che slapped the monkey’s head lightly with his palm, smiling. Then, he commanded, “Come, do daddy a favor. See if there’s any spiritual herbs nearby.”

Zhang Che felt that he had to fully make good use of the frisky monkey’s abilities in the upcoming days. He mustn’t let the monkey keep staying in his spiritual sea, wasting his talents.

A pity that this fellow’s skill could only search within a five kilometer radius. If the radius was tens of times wider, wouldn’t it be awesome?

The frisky monkey immediately drooped his head. His master daddy summoned him only to enslave him!

-This can’t do; I have to go tell on him at the animal rights association, saying that he is abusing animals!-

Alas, he could not disobey his master daddy’s orders, or he might not get to eat the aromatic roasted meat in the future. The frisky monkey could only activate his searching ability resentfully; waves of invisible energy spread outwards in all directions.

After about a minute or so, he started jumping on the spot and pointed deeper into the mountain range, crying out.

“Hmm, not bad! We really found something. Looks like my luck today is not bad!”

Zhang Che was overjoyed. He was only prompted by his sudden impulse originally, and wanted to have the frisky monkey give it a try. Unexpectedly, they really discovered the existence of spiritual herbs nearby!

Then, what were they waiting for? Time to move!

The master and pet jumped on the Purple Jade Condor’s wide back, quickly flying deeper into the mountain range.

A five thousand meter radius truly wasn’t big; given the Purple Jade Condor’s speed, they flew to their destination in only half a minute or so.

It was an unusually tall and straight mountain. The waist of the mountain was the divider of its body. Any lower than that was covered in vegetation, while any higher was gradually reduced to only a sparse layer of wild grass and algae. At the peak, there was only a thick layer of snow.

Even so, just as they flew to the skies above the mountain, Zhang Che’s face suddenly changed slightly.

He saw, on the mountain ridge on the other side of the mountain, a team of beastmasters were engaged in an intense battle with a snake with an icy blue body.

Behind that snake, a single flawlessly white spiritual flower that resembled a snow lotus, nearly half a meter in diameter, was blooming on the snowy ground.

Obviously, the spiritual flower was taken.

And right now, the original owner of the spiritual flower, the icy blue snake, was fighting an intense battle with the group of people eyeing it!

“Hmm? Is my Fisherman Zhang Halo finally coming into effect again!?”
