Divine Beast Adventures

Chapter 133: Chapter 133 – A Paradise For The Strong, A Hell For The Weak

The reason why Zhang Che decided to head northeast was because he heard tales that it was an extended mountainous region. The taller areas were covered in a thick layer of snow all year round, and was said to be a cold, bitter place.

As the saying went, a bad environment makes bad civilians... no, bad beasts. Although there weren’t many exotic beasts in that area, their level were definitely not low. You could find three-star beasts, or even four-star beasts, everywhere once you ventured slightly deeper into it.

Not only that, it was rumored that huge amounts of powerful exotic beasts lived deep in that mountain range. It was simply a paradise for the strong, and hell for the weak.

Now that Zhang Che had successfully gained a water-type pet, his only objective was to hunt as many three-star or above exotic beasts as possible to raise his beastmaster tier.

As such, the northeast of the beast world was exactly what he was looking for.

As for whether that area was too dangerous... Zhang Che wasn’t really worried about that.

What was dangerous was only the mountainous terrain. As long as he acted more carefully, he shouldn’t be unlucky enough to bump into an exotic beast he couldn’t defeat, and which had to be a flying-type beast, to boot! Otherwise, none of them could catch up to him!

Wasn’t it said to be a paradise for the strong, and hell for the weak?

Although Zhang Che didn’t think of himself as one of the strong ones, he definitely didn’t belong to the weak, either.

“Hm? Oh, right, that ugly toad!”

Not long after the Purple Jade Condor started flying, Zhang Che suddenly remembered about that bunch of ugly toads that embarrassed him yesterday.

Ten years was too long a wait for a gentleman’s revenge!

Now that Zhang Che had the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon, together with the Purple Jade Condor whose strength wasn’t inferior to that Demon Eye Toad at all, he could totally go find it for some “catching up”.

As for that lone island that left Zhang Che feeling apprehensive, since that demonic flower was already “devoured” by him, and he wouldn’t get on that island any more, there wouldn’t be any danger there.

However, when Zhang Che returned to that swampland full of joy and expectation, and searched the place where he was ambushed by the group of toads, he discovered, to his shock, that he couldn’t find any tadpoles, not to mention any toads.

“Could it be that those ugly toads expected that I’d be back for revenge and migrated in advance?”

Zhang Che felt depressed. The beam shot from the demon eye on the Demon Eye Toad’s back was a powerful skill that even the Purple Jade Condor fell to. Not only that, the Demon Eye Toad was able to escape unscathed in the battle that came after, despite the Purple Jade Condor activating its Wing Blade skill to retaliate. Its level and quality were definitely not low.

Now, this powerful ugly toad was gone without a trace. It would be impossible to find it again; this swampland was too vast. It was as hard as finding a needle in a haystack.

“This is what they call ‘destined to meet, but weren’t fated to be together’!” Zhang Che sighed. He could only set off once more, heading to the northeast.

——

As the Purple Jade Condor flew towards their destination, Zhang Che wasn’t in the mood to observe the waters below to see if there were any exotic beasts worth hunting. All he wanted was to get to the northeast of the beast world as soon as possible. Would there be any lack of exotic beasts for him to hunt when he got there?

A streak of purple lightning flew across the sky. As they were hurrying on their way, Zhang Che got the Purple Jade Condor to fly at the breakneck speed of about four hundred kilometers per hour, almost the limits of where he could still breathe freely.

If they flew any faster, Zhang Che would have to worry about damage to his lungs after flying for long periods of time.

—

Just like that, the Purple Jade Condor flew for nearly four hours, flying past the vast watery area, and a wide, extended area of hills. In the end, it even flew past a boundless grass plain, before finally seeing a black, wavy iron wall on the horizon.

That was where the outskirts of the northeast mountain range were.

“Make a stop here, Ah Zi. We’ll find something here to eat first.” Since the mountain range was within sight, Zhang Che wasn’t feeling impatient anymore.

It had been around four hours since he woke up, and he had yet to have a single grain enter his mouth. His stomach had been protesting all this while. He had to eat something.

It just so happened that Zhang Che saw a herd of large-sized herbivorous exotic beasts running below, where the grass plain and mountain range intersected. The handful of exotic beasts chasing closely behind them were obviously predators hunting for their prey.

The situation was perfect. He could round them all up in one go. Not only could he obtain beast cards, he could also hunt his breakfast here.

After receiving its orders, the Purple Jade Condor immediately changed directions and dove straight down.

——

An hour later, Zhang Che casually tossed aside a big thigh bone as he stood up, his lips greasy. He walked over to the creek and laid down, drinking huge mouthfuls of water directly from the stream, before standing up with a satisfied look.

Naturally, Zhang Che didn’t have to worry whether the water was poisonous. While he was carrying a herbivorous exotic beast known as a Bramble-Horned Deer, which the frisky monkey had killed, over to the creek, there were quite a number of exotic beasts drinking water here.

The Bramble-Horned Deer was quite big, weighing over two hundred and fifty kilograms, satisfying both Zhang Che and the frisky monkey’s stomach. The delicious meat left Zhang Che lamenting.

He didn’t have any spatial storage equipment. Otherwise, he’d really want to kill all these exotic beasts, which were only one-star black iron-quality, and store them in his spatial storage, taking one out whenever he wanted to eat. If the conditions allowed, he could even boil or fry the meat, trying different ways to eat them. If not, roasting was the way to go.

After eating his fill, Zhang Che sent the resentful frisky monkey back into his spiritual sea and hopped on his biological airplane, the Purple Jade Condor, before setting off for their destination in the distance once more.

Looking down from the sky, it was rare to see any beastmasters in this area, even if it was only the outskirts. The powerful beastmasters would all be venturing deep into the mountain range, while the weak ones wouldn’t casually come here to their deaths.

Of course, the main reason was that the population of Qian Wei City was really not much. There were only so many beastmasters around. In the boundless beast world, other than the areas around the safety zone, it truly wasn’t easy to bump into other people.

The cities around Qian Wei City were in similar situations, too. All of them weren’t considered densely populated. Most beastmasters would only head into the spatial gateways found in their respective cities. Who would waste the time and energy to go to other cities?

Of course, there were also a minority who would head into other spatial gateways for various reasons, mostly due to the unique resources found near them.

Those reasons made Zhang Che feel he was playing a single-player game after entering the beast world. Most of the time he wouldn’t even bump into other beastmasters for days.

“I suppose the number of beastmasters will only become noticeably higher when I head into the spatial gateway in Bei Du City...”

As the administrative center of the Hua Xia region, Bei Du City was a super large city. Together with the satellite cities around it, the population reached a total of several hundred million! Even though there were many spatial gateways there, under such a dense population, the beast worlds beyond each and every spatial gateway would be more highly populated by beastmasters, or at the very least, the areas around the safety zone would be so.

Although it had been thirty-six years since the dawn of the new age, and humans had learned much of the beast worlds behind the spatial gateways, there was still no definite answer to whether these beast worlds behind the different spatial gateways belonged to the same plane.

Some were of the opinion that the beast worlds should be connected, because other than some unique resources like rare herbs or exotic beasts, most low-level exotic beasts that flocked together or herbs could be found behind multiple other spatial gateways, as well.

However, the others were of a different opinion, that the beast worlds were independent existences. Otherwise, how could anyone explain that there had been no instances of someone exiting the beast world from the entrance of another spatial gateway?

Those of the former opinion had a reasonable argument to make to this, too.

They thought that the beast world was most likely a vast world so wide that the exits of each and every spatial gateway were dispersed equally across this boundless world.

As the distance was too far between two gateways that connected to the real world, it was impossible for humans to cross such a distance with their current strength.

Supporters of both theories insisted on their views and had argued endlessly for over thirty years. None of them were able to convince the other.

Of course, these things weren’t of concern to Zhang Che at all. He only hoped that he could successfully advance to Tier Four in this mountain range in the upcoming days!
