Sending Wang Dong off with his gaze, Zhang Che smiled slightly when his figure disappeared from sight. With a wave of his hand, a dark gold flash of light shot to the skies, transforming into the Purple Jade Condor’s huge figure and soaring to a thousand meters in the air.

Zhang Che wouldn’t trust Wang Dong’s words so easily. He still had to check for himself the situation ahead.

Not only that, he also had to make sure if Wang Dong had truly left. It would be troublesome if he discovered Zhang Che’s dual identities.

After a short while, the Purple Jade Condor in the sky informed him that Wang Dong had left the vicinity.

Zhang Che smiled faintly. As he willed it, his face changed rapidly, transforming into the appearance of an ordinary man in his twenties. Even his hair was considerably shorter.

In addition, Zhang Che made slight adjustments to his height and figure. Even if Sun Lan was here at this moment, she wouldn’t be able to recognize him.

As for his clothing, Zhang Che thought about that before, too. He wore the most commonly seen combat suit whenever he entered the beast world. At least half of the low-tier beastmasters were wearing this kind of combat suit; no one would be able to see through his disguise.

Of course, if an opportunity arose, Zhang Che hoped to acquire an armor-type beast card. That way, he wouldn’t have to worry about not having clothes to change into when he appeared as Sun Che!

“What a pity there is always a shortage of defensive-type beast cards. It’s almost impossible to find them in the market. Luck plays too big of a part if you want to obtain one by killing exotic beasts,” Zhang Che sighed, dropping all thoughts about that problem.

Exotic beasts with tough armors were rare in the first place. Not only that, they were naturally hard to kill! It truly wasn’t easy to obtain a beast armor.

Regrettably, the four-star gold-quality Rock Tortoise was a defensive-type subdued beast, yet the beast card was a Original Combat Body type. It really left one depressed. Zhang Che guessed that it was probably due to this fellow having a offensive technique which decided its beast card type.

However, even if the Rock Tortoise was an armor-type beast card, Zhang Che might not necessarily dare to wear it. What if it had a freaking tortoise shell appearance? How embarrassing would it be?

Pouting, Zhang Che summoned all of his subdued beasts and pets. He crossed the river ahead, riding on Hanxue unhurriedly, heading towards the swamp Wang Dong mentioned.

The Purple Jade Condor had been scouting in the sky for quite some time, but there was still no discoveries for the time being.

It wasn’t strange, however. Crocodiles were usually stationary when they were not hunting, not to mention their preference for murky, muddy water. It was within reason that the Purple Jade Condor hadn’t discovered anything.

After all, the Purple Jade Condor was somewhat similar to falcon-like flying beasts. Stationary objects went unnoticed to their eyes, but they were extra sensitive to moving objects.

After crossing the river and winding through a few short hills, the terrain ahead suddenly opened up. A huge area of swamp that extended to the horizons filled his whole field of vision.

Although the swamplands wasn’t exactly flat, the occasional hills weren’t tall, either. They were akin to slightly larger tombs, mere mounds. Even the trees around this area were much shorter than those found elsewhere.

Up on Hanxue, standing at the edge of the swamps, Zhang Che looked around, and saw several huge exotic beasts half-hidden in the murky water a short distance away. These were the crocodile-type exotic beasts Wang Dong had talked about.

However, Zhang Che was seriously doubting how high quality these beasts could be if they were merely residing at the edge of the swamps.

They shouldn’t be that powerful, even if it was a king of the crocodiles.

“Judging by that guy’s joyful look earlier, this mustn’t be all that he discovered. There must be something stronger deeper in the swamps.”

Zhang Che didn’t mind Wang Dong’s withholding of information in the least. After all, he didn’t pay the fellow a single cent, so there was no incentive to speak the whole truth.

Moreover, Wang Dong was acting out of goodwill. He guessed that Zhang Che’s beastmaster tier wasn’t too high, and was afraid that he might get into danger if he went too deep. As such, he exaggerated the strengths of these crocodile beasts.

“Come on, let’s go see exactly how strong these crocodile-like beasts are,” Zhang Che said, tapping on Hanxue’s neck. The Golden Elephorse King immediately ran further into the swampy area, excited.

Not all places were filled with muddy pools in the swamp; there were dry surfaces too, at places with higher elevation. Hanxue’s hooves wouldn’t sink in.

Feeling the vibrations caused by Hanxue’s hooves, the attention of the huge exotic beasts ahead were drawn towards them. Their huge heads rose up slightly, be it from the bushes or the muddy water, looking in Zhang Che’s direction.

It was probably due to the distance between them that none of the exotic beasts made any further movements. Each of them were silently waiting for their prey to walk right up to them.

Naturally, they had no idea that it wasn’t prey that had shown up, but reapers coming for their lives.

When the first crocodile-like exotic beast came within a hundred meters of Zhang Che, he finally saw its attributes, which led to him shaking his head and pouting.

“I knew it; they’re only two-star bronze-quality beasts! Like I suspected, how could these beasts residing at the edge of the swamps be high quality?”

Due to his thrifty nature, thinking that no matter how small an ant’s leg was, it was still meat! Zhang Che would obviously not let these exotic beasts known as Swamp Crocodiles off. With a wave of his hand, the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly hovering above him quickly flew forward.

The two-star silver-quality beast’s flying speed was not inferior to ordinary birds. With a few flutters of its basket-sized wings, it was already above the head of the nearest Swamp Crocodile.

The Swamp Crocodile realized the impending danger. Its huge body suddenly lurched out of the bushes. Its thick, but short limbs moving quickly, its dozen-meter long body twisted along as it quickly fled to where its companions were.

Alas, this fellow’s movements were too clumsy in the eyes of the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly. Poisonous powders as faint as white smoke slowly fell down, covering the entire head of the Swamp Crocodile.

In the next moment, the crawling Swamp Crocodile suddenly came to a stop. Its eyes were filled with confusion, and it started circling around on the spot.

“Eh? It’s not directly rendered immobile?” Zhang Che was greatly surprised. After the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly rose to silver-quality, the effects of its powders actually changed. Who knew how they would turn out in the future?

The Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly didn’t stop after getting this Swamp Crocodile under control. Instead, it flew towards the group of crocodiles further in the swamp.

Meanwhile, Zhang Che jumped off Hanxue’s back and donned the Maneater Leech King armor over his regular clothes, striding towards the first affected Swamp Crocodile.

A streak of green light was drawn in the air, the savage head immediately separated from its body, turning into a glow of light and dissipating.

The corners of Zhang Che’s lips curled up. He continued walking forward with his sword in hand, humming, “The general leads the charge, wearing his unrelenting will as armor, like an unstoppable force. He is invincible, for he destroys all that stands in his path!”
