Faint ripples spread out on the surface of the muddy pool of water.

The ripples quickly spread, while Zhang Che watched unblinkingly.

The invisible sound waves swept past, the Scarlet Flame Drake’s exposed claw twitched slightly and rapidly before becoming motionless again.

Just as Zhang Che thought the Sonic Wave attack was ineffective, the pile of rock and mud suddenly erupted in all directions. The rocks and mud nearly struck Zhang Che.

A majestic figure, albeit filled with injuries, suddenly stood up. A pair of long, narrow scarlet eyes stared in Zhang Che’s direction, revealing its ferocity.

“Xilvlv…” Hanxue neighed in fear, retreating a few steps uncontrollably before its limbs gave out on it. It nearly fell on the muddy mountain path and threw Zhang Che off its back.

“It’s still alive!” Zhang Che’s complexion went incomparably pale, staring at the standing exotic beast, his mind blank.

The Scarlet Flame Drake’s sharp eyes made Zhang Che feel as if he was in an ice cave; he almost couldn’t move at all.

At the same time, Zhang Che finally got a good look at this ferocious exotic beast’s appearance.

It looked like a large fierce drake, nearly a meter and a half tall, and approximately three meters long. It was obviously a carnivorous exotic beast, but it had a pair of horns curving to the front, very similar to a bull’s.

Although it looked fierce and mighty, the Scarlet Flame Drake’s condition right now was extremely poor.

Its entire body looked as if it was burned, with not a strand of hair remaining. Its charred skin was filled with scars, with only a tiny fraction of the exposed skin revealing some reddish yellow spots. Its original appearance was probably extremely pleasing to the eyes.

There was a wound on its head that extended from its left horn to its lower jaw, and its head was dyed from the mixture of its crimson blood and the muddy water.

Its left claw was even bent at a harrowing angle, yet it still supported its majestic figure proudly, unwilling to give in to its deadly injuries.

Obviously, the Scarlet Flame Drake was struck by lightning during the thunderstorm a few days ago, and was swept here by the mudslide, buried under the rocks and mud, barely hanging on to life with its last breath.

It it weren’t struck by the thunderstorm, ordinary impacts wouldn’t have been able to hurt this ferocious exotic beast with its insane defenses.

“Woof!” a fierce bark rang out from the Scarlet Flame Drake’s mouth. Hanxue’s body went limp once more, kneeling to the ground and threw Zhang Che forward.

-I’m finished…- Zhang Che sighed inwardly as he fell, devastated.

The Scarlet Flame Drake didn’t die; there was no way he could escape from this. All it needed to do was jump forward and claw at him, and he would be shredded apart.

However, just as Zhang Che was thrown forward, he discovered, to his astonishment, that the Scarlet Flame Drake that seemed to be looking for blood suddenly turned into a streak of light.

Even after he fell forward on the muddy mountain path, Zhang Che’s head was still raised, looking ahead with a surprised expression. His gaze was filled with disbelief.

The Scarlet Flame Drake actually died, just like that!

He didn’t have the mind to care about his delayed happiness, nor the pain coming from his chest. Zhang Che kept his head raised, staring at the light the Scarlet Flame Drake transformed into, chanting madly in his heart, “Beast card! Beast card! Beast card!”

==[You Killed a Scarlet Flame Drake. Obtained 160 Points of Soul Force. Obtained Scarlet Flame Drake Card.]==

As if it sensed the cheering in Zhang Che’s heart, the streak of light really didn’t dissipate just like that. Instead, it quickly came together and turned into a dark gold card, floating down to the mud water.

“Hahahaha, a beast card really dropped!” Zhang Che laughed maniacally. He crawled up to his feet with much difficulty and ran forward to the body of water. He didn’t care about getting himself dirty, and scooped up the beast card from the muddy water. Holding the card between his palms, his body trembled from excitement.

The Scarlet Flame Drake card was clear and translucent, dark gold in color. The four hexagrams were neatly positioned, looking aesthetically beautiful.

A four-star dark gold-quality beast card!

Holding this beast card that represented a powerful subdued beast, Zhang Che’s first thought was actually making a guess at how much this card could be sold for.

Alas, poverty had limited Zhang Che’s imagination. He couldn’t make an estimation on this card’s value; he only knew that beastmasters would go crazy fighting for this card if he let go of it.

Of course, Zhang Che would never sell such good stuff, even if he was beaten to death.

When the day came where he advanced to a Tier Four beastmaster, the Scarlet Flame Drake would become his strongest combat force. Zhang Che could even wrestle against high-tier beastmasters without any exceptional subdued beasts, not to mention looking down upon most mid-tier beastmasters proudly.

This was the most excited Zhang Che had ever been, wanting to raise his beastmaster tier as soon as possible!

It was akin to someone suddenly obtaining a godly piece of equipment when playing video games, but their current level was insufficient to equip it. Going forward, they would surely work their hardest to level up, disregarding day and night!

However, Zhang Che understood that this matter couldn’t be rushed. Let alone advancing to Tier Four, he wasn’t even a Tier Three beastmaster right now. He still had to hunt tens of two-star exotic beasts to breakthrough.

“Now, should I continue looking around in this area and see if I can find more exotic beasts injured from the thunderstorm?” Zhang Che couldn’t help but felt tempted after tasting such a huge benefit.

The Scarlet Flame Drake was certainly not the only exotic beast hurt from the horrifying thunderstorm. If Zhang Che would searched carefully, he’d surely find more.

After thinking it through carefully, however, Zhang Che decided to give up on this enticing thought.

Him successfully killing the Scarlet Flame Drake was all a lucky coincidence.

Instead of saying that the Scarlet Flame Drake was killed by Zhang Che, it would be better to say this powerful exotic beast was already at the end of its life after being struck by the thunderstorm. The two Sonic Wave attacks from Zhang Che were only the final straw that broke the camel’s back.

However, if he encountered other powerful exotic beasts, Zhang Che didn’t dare to guarantee that their injuries would be as severe. If he were ever so slightly careless, he’d become those powerful exotic beasts’ food.

With such a huge reward already in his bag, Zhang Che couldn’t afford to take such risks.

“One’s eyes are bigger than their stomach. We should always learn to be content. I’d better leave this mountain range as soon as possible and head back in the safety zone’s direction.”

Over a week’s time had passed on this trip to the beast world, with a bountiful harvest. Zhang Che wanted to go back and rest for a few days, and keep his ill mother company.

Not caring about the mud all over him. Zhang Che directly mounted Hanxue and got him to head back, searching for a way to leave this mountain range.
