Obviously, it was impossible for Huang Hai’s group to find Zhang Che, because he had already left the area and flown close to a thousand kilometers away on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon.

During the two days’ time at the area, Zhang Che had obtained a Nirvana Snake King, and more than twenty ordinary Nirvana Snakes, far exceeding his expectations.

It was impossible to find any other Nirvana Snake Kings afterwards. He rarely saw any ordinary Nirvana Snakes, either. As such, Zhang Che didn’t want to waste any more time here.

Given his current circumstances, it was better to raise his beastmaster tier as quickly as possible, and break through to Tier Six. As long as he was not at Tier Six, Zhang Che kept feeling like something was pressing on him.

After all, only epic-quality beasts could be considered truly powerful combat forces. Even ordinary large clans might not have them.

Of course, this didn’t mean that the large clans couldn’t get themselves epic-quality beast cards. The key was whether it was worth it.

Take Zhang Che’s future father-in-law, for example. Although Zhang Che knew his father-in-law didn’t have an epic-quality beast card, this didn’t mean that he couldn’t find one.

However, instead of spending a huge fortune to get himself an epic-quality beast card, it was better for the Huang family to spread out their resources and raise the clan’s overall strength.

After all, Hua Xia was unlike other regions. The environment was considered decent as a whole. Also, there was an agreement between the upper echelons, making large-scale internal struggles impossible under normal circumstances. There was no need to gather most of their resources on a single person.

Perhaps Grandpa Huang had epic-quality subdued beasts on him.

Zhang Che had always felt that Grandpa Huang wasn’t simple. As the linchpin of the Huang family, his strength was surely far greater than Huang Juyun’s.

Since his main objective was to raise his beastmaster tier, Zhang Che had no need to look for exotic beasts that were hard to deal with.

Although it wouldn’t be too difficult for him to hunt mid-tier legend-quality exotic beasts given his babies’ overall strength, it was a bit of a waste of time, wasn’t it?

If he used that time and energy to hunt mid-tier exotic beasts at around silver or gold-quality, it would simply be a walk in the park. He could kill as many as there were.

Most importantly, legend-quality exotic beasts weren’t like cabbages at the market. It wasn’t like you could find them just because you wanted to hunt them.

With Zhang Che’s current strength, obtaining more legend-quality subdued beasts wouldn’t change things much. Even if he had more legend-quality subdued beasts and pets, when confronting an epic-quality exotic beast, he still wouldn’t have too great of a chance against them. It was the difference between quality and quantity.

At the Bei Mei region previously, him slaying the Earthen Rock Demon was all thanks to the golden vortex’s sudden eruption, making the two swords combine and display powers far exceeding his imaginations, finally killing the Earthen Rock Demon with a single slash.

Otherwise, with just Zhang Che’s babies... Heh heh...

Zhang Che had no idea on what was happening in Bei Du at all. He didn’t know the squad his father-in-law had sent was frantically looking for him. On one hand, it was to protect him, and on the other, it was to warn him to get to Tier Six as soon as possible.

Huang Juyun probably wouldn’t have thought that although Zhang Che didn’t know all these things, their plans were aligned. Zhang Che was originally planning to raise his strength on this trip to begin with!

The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon flew across the lands, avoiding the deeper areas of the beast world, and went searching for places where mid-tier exotic beasts were gathered.

Only places with a higher density of mid-tier exotic beasts would increase the speed of Zhang Che advancing to Tier Six. Obviously, such places weren’t easily found.

Zhang Che spent half the day searching. When it was nearing 3 in the afternoon, he still hadn’t found a suitable area.

Naturally, during his search, he slew quite a number of mid-tier exotic beasts. However, compared to the vast amounts of soul force points needed to break through to Tier Six, it was like a drop in the ocean.

“Forget it; I’ll end my search here today and spend my time in this area. I’ll continue my search tomorrow morning.”

Zhang Che didn’t want to keep searching around like a headless fly. He summoned all his legend-quality babies and slaughtered the exotic beasts in the surroundings. Meanwhile, he rode on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon and wandered around in the skies. Every time he discovered any single-out exotic beast, he would immediately send a bolt of lightning with the Horned Electric Python in their direction, guaranteeing a one-shot-kill. His efficiency was even higher than his subdued beasts and pets!

“Tsk, tsk. Looks like I have to find a way to recover the golden vortex! I’m even faster than the babies when it comes to hunting exotic beasts, just by relying on the Horned Electric Python. If the two swords could be used again, would my efficiency be through the roof?,” Zhang Che mumbled to himself, lamenting as he sat on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s back, looking for any exotic beasts his babies had overlooked.

The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon rolled his eyes in disdain, thinking to himself, -If it wasn’t for me, this master dragon, ferrying you around and increasing your speed by countless times... why don’t you try hunting by yourself?-

Regrettably, this master dragon had forgotten that as Zhang Che’s pet, they were connected spiritually.

Zhang Che slapped the dragon’s back, angered from being shamed, and said, “Don’t get cocky! I’ll be flying too, when I become a high-tier beastmaster!”

That wasn’t just Zhang Che dreaming, however.

It was said that when a beastmaster reached Tier Nine, and their soul force had amassed to a certain degree, they could indeed use the power of soul force to take flight. Although they couldn’t fly far, ultimately they would be flying without any help from their subdued beasts and pets, wouldn’t they?

However, heavens knew how long it would be before the day he became a Tier Nine beastmaster...

The next day, Zhang Che continued his search in the beast world on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon. Although he still didn’t find a place with a high amount of mid-tier exotic beasts, he wisd up and didn’t spend all his time on searching for exotic beasts. Instead, he slaughtered his way through while searching, and had quite a decent harvest.

“Why is my luck so terrible? If this continues, not even a month is enough for me to rise to Tier Six!”

Zhang Che was very frustrated, although it was something very worth being excited about and proud of to advance to Tier Six in less than two months for ordinary beastmasters.

Zhang Che was different, however. He felt that with his strength, how could he be pursuing the same speed as the others?

From the third day and onwards, he didn’t give up and continued searching in the depths of the beast world on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon...

At Bei Du, Huang Juyun received news from Huang Hai from the messengers he sent back.

They had searched for two whole days in the area around the Five Poisons Mountain Range, but they couldn’t even find Zhang Che’s shadow, and were now searching in other areas.

“Forget it. Go back and find Huang Hai; tell him that he doesn’t need to be so uptight on this matter. He can find him slowly; that kid might have gone to other places. The beast world is so vast; it’s not very hopeful finding him with so few men.”

Since the Zhen family had applied for an arena deathmatch, they would probably not find trouble with Zhang Che before the day came.

However, to be on the safer side of things, Huang Juyun didn’t give Huang Hai the order to withdraw his men.

What if the Zhen family played their cards illogically, and sent people to look for Zhang Che in the beast world?

Nothing was absolute in this world. Although Huang Hai didn’t have to look as hard for Zhang Che, it was better to let them remain in the beast world just in case. Even if they couldn’t find Zhang Che right away, they could come in useful to a certain degree if anything happened.

“Now, I can only hope that kid works harder and strives to advance to Tier Six within a month,” Huang Juyun sighed, harboring extremely high hopes for Zhang Che.

Didn’t that kid reveal that he had advanced to Tier Five quite some time ago? He should have accumulated quite a bit during this time. If he continued working hard, he should be able to advance to Tier Six.

After worrying about the matter regarding Zhang Che’s beastmaster tier, Huang Juyun started worrying about the matter of gathering epic-quality beast cards.

Those things were worthy of being resources at a strategic level, indeed. They really were difficult to gather. He had already spread the news to the clans they were in a better relationship with in the circle during the past two days, and none of them had expressed anything.

It seemed like the clans who had epic-quality beast cards were still observing the situation.

It couldn’t be helped. If worse came to worst, they could only raise their offer. At the most, they would have to endure the pain and cut out a part of the spiritual jade to exchange for beast cards. However, they would surely be taken advantage of by greedy people...

Night came again...

Although Zhang Che had yet to find an area where large numbers of mid-tier exotic beasts gathered, his harvest was pretty good. The number of mid-tier exotic beasts he had hunted today was much higher than the two days prior.

“Huuu, time to sleep! I’ll go a little deeper into this area tomorrow. It looks like there aren’t any powerful exotic beasts here anyway. It’s a decent training ground.”

——

When he woke up, it was a fresh new day.

Just as he was about to make his way out of his sleeping bag, he suddenly raised his eyebrows in surprise.

“Hmm? I didn’t expect this fellow to have advanced in quality!”

In his spiritual sea, the Vampiric Demon Carpet that was originally only gold-quality had risen to dark gold-quality.

Zhang Che had almost forgotten about that thing.

It couldn’t be helped; for one, Zhang Che didn’t have much chance to set others up. Second, the Vampiric Demon Carpet’s combat strength was falling behind his progress, and so was forgotten.

-But now that this fellow has risen to dark gold-quality, given its unique attacking method, its actual combat strength must be stronger than most four-star dark gold-quality beasts, right?- Thinking of that, Zhang Che immediately felt moved.

If the Vampiric Demon Carpet’s strength could keep up with him, this fellow was definitely the number one choice to set others up.

As such, he immediately summoned the Vampiric Demon Carpet from his spiritual sea and looked at its new attributes with his data eyes.
