While Zhang Che was still feeling doubtful, all of the Dark-Scaled Lizards were killed by the Purple Jade Condor. Notification sounds rang one after another mechanically, forming a rhythm.

“As expected, killing exotic beasts that group together yields the most soul force points!” Zhang Che was almost drunk on the sounds of notification going off in his head.

Naturally, now wasn’t the time to get distracted. The pack of Dark-Scaled Lizards left about a dozen beast cards behind, just waiting for Zhang Che to pick them up.

“Let’s go down, Hanming!”

Zhang Che recalled the Gluttony Monkey and beckoned the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon at his side, jumping on the latter’s back. Zhang Che sat on Hanming’s back with his legs, securing himself in place.

Following Zhang Che’s order, a layer of cloudy mist emerged around the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon and he took off, flying down to the valley below.

Just as the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon began his flight, Zhang Che opened his eyes wide, exclaiming in shock, “Damn!”

When the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon was flying, the strength of the oncoming wind was negated by more than half as it blew into the surrounding cloudy mist. By the time the wind reached Zhang Che, there wasn’t much speed behind it.

– This fellow actually had such a hidden ability?- Zhang Che immediately went wild with joy!

If this ability got stronger as the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon’s quality increased, wouldn’t that mean that Zhang Che wouldn’t have to worry about the wind as he flew on this fellow, and would be able to fly as fast as he wanted?

There was almost no doubt that this was the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon’s unique ability!

Zhang Che nearly wept with joy! Although the Purple Jade Condor’s flying speed was really high, he wasn’t able to withstand the strength of the oncoming wind when he rode it.

Not only that, Zhang Che could clearly tell that the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon was much more stable. He only needed to sit on his back, without having to worry about falling off.

With that, his hands were free and Zhang Che could even wield a bow himself, launching long range attacks at their enemies.

There were simply too many advantages to this. Just thinking about it left Zhang Che feeling great.

The only regret was that as of now, the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon could only maintain flight for about half an hour. He just couldn’t last long.

In that case, why not let him pop a little blue pill? {TL Note: A certain well-known pill for bedroom wrestling.}

If Zhang Che were to find an herb capable of raising an exotic beast’s quality right now, he would definitely not hesitate to let the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon eat it, and not give it to the stronger Purple Jade Condor.

It couldn’t be helped; the riding experience provided by the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon was too good compared to the Purple Jade Condor. It was better by at least a few levels!

While Zhang Che was happily fantasizing about the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon being able to fly for a longer period of time after advancing in quality, he didn’t realize that they had already flown down to the valley.

The Cold Abyss Flood Dragon turned his head around to look at Zhang Che doubtfully, not understanding why his owner was not getting off of him. Did he have some weird hobbies?

“Eh? We’re here already?” Zhang Che suddenly came back to himself after being stared at by the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon innocently for some time. He realized he was already in the valley, and hurriedly jumped off the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon’s back, recalling him back into his spiritual sea.

This fellow’s flying ability was very useful, especially in such complicated terrain. It was incomparable to the Purple Jade Condor, who needed to beat its wings to fly. Therefore, Zhang Che decided to recall him back into his spiritual sea and let him immerse himself in the rainbow crystal’s fog to recover. When needed, Zhang Che could immediately summon him.

The Purple Jade Condor, who wiped out the group of Dark-Scaled Lizards effortlessly, was currently standing proudly on a protruded rock in the valley, waiting for Zhang Che’s next instruction.

The next order came very soon.

He sent the Purple Jade Condor to scout out the situation around them from the sky, while he, as the leader, remained here to clean up the mess, which meant picking up the beast cards scattered on the ground.

This job could be given to the Gluttony Monkey, but Zhang Che enjoyed the feeling of stuffing the cards into his pocket one by one. As such, he was happy to do the job, just not to the extent of laughing out loud while doing so.

=========

[Dark-Scaled Lizard]

Level: Three Star (Level 27)

Quality: Bronze

Characteristics: Its Scales Provide Strong Defense, Tail Whipping Attacks Are Swift and Rather Destructive

Weakness: Defense Around Its Throat is Lacking

Potential: E Rank

Cultivating Directions: No Value In Cultivating

=========

Zhang Che was speechless after seeing the attributes of the Dark-Scaled Lizards.

They were actually trash without any value in cultivating them. Theoretically, they could only advance a tier in their level and quality. If placed in the hands of those beast card cultivators, there wouldn’t be much hope of them advancing.

“But, I can use them to increase my experience points in Fusion. Also...”

Zhang Che’s pupils rolled around as he thought of another benefit. These Dark-Scaled Lizards were three-star exotic beasts. After fusing them, they would become four-star. Despite their lacking quality, they were still mid-tier beast cards, and could probably fetch a decent price.

Zhang Che looked at the Dark-Scaled Lizard cards in his hands. There were a total of twelve cards, which could net him six four-star beast cards. It would be more than just a small sum entering his pocket after selling them.

“Mmm, thinking about it, this mountain range is truly a land of fortune! I wonder if such grouped up three-star exotic beasts are abundant here. If I could bump into a few groups of them, my Fusion skill could rise to level three in one go!”

There were always two sides to a story.

The Dark-Scaled Lizards, which were originally trash, suddenly turned out to be very useful. Not only would they allow Zhang Che to gain experience points in his Fusion skill, they could also be sold for a fortune. It was simply hitting two birds with one stone!

Thus, Zhang Che just stood within this valley, fusing all twelve Dark-Scaled Lizard cards together, and obtained six four-star variants, planning to sell them when he went to Bei Du City in the future.

“No one would ever complain about having too much money!” Zhang Che sighed in satisfaction, and stowed the six beast cards before looking at the area around him carefully.

The valley was deep and filled with twists and turns, craggy rocks were everywhere, while plants were scarce. Both sides of the valley were blocked off by steep cliffs.

Well, that wasn’t the main point.

At this moment, Zhang Che’s gaze was attracted to a deep cave hidden on one side of the cliff. It could only be seen if he walked close to it.

“Could this be the nest of that group of Dark-Scaled Lizards from before?”

Here was where the problem lay.

If it truly was as Zhang Che guessed, then why would the Dark-Scaled Lizards rather fight to their deaths than escape into this nearby cave?

As long as they went into this barely two-meters-high cave, it would be impossible for the Purple Jade Condor to attack them.

Or perhaps, the group of Dark-Scaled Lizards were guarding something hidden in this cave, or maybe there was an even more terrifying exotic beast in the cave, such that they didn’t dare to enter?

However, neither of the two explanations sounded reasonable.

Zhang Che looked into the deep, dark cave, his eyes narrowed slightly...
