Quietly watching this battle come to an end from the ridge, and personally drawing the curtains to this show, Zhang Che’s expression underwent changes, but there was not much excitement on his face.
After personally witnessing the Tian Yin Squad being nearly massacred by the Purple Jade Condor in the short span of a minute, a hint of sorrow rose within Zhang Che for some unknown reason.
It turned out that human lives were actually so fragile in the face of powerful exotic beasts!
In this boundless beast world, how many people would die, or find themselves devoured by exotic beasts?
Not to mention, many thousands of people would die facing the once-a-decade beast horde. The amount of blood shed would form rivers, the skeletons pile up into mountains.
Which side would be the party left standing in the end in this dragged out tug-of-war between the humans and the beasts, obtaining victory in the end?
Many thoughts flooded into his mind. Zhang Che only came back to himself after some time, shaking his head self-mockingly. -I’m worrying too much. Why think so much about the future? I only have to keep raising my strength and do my best to protect my close ones.-
Zhang Che had no noble aspirations of saving the world. All he wanted to do was make sure he survived, protect his family and friends, and he would have no regrets in life.
As such, Zhang Che let the Gluttony Monkey kill Xu Ao without any hesitation.
If he didn’t, wouldn’t it be the same as allowing Xu Ao to obtain the Purple Jade Condor’s dark gold beast card, and become stronger? Wouldn’t Xu Ao then continue to trouble him endlessly?
“Go, frisky monkey. Bring me that beast card.”
In the end, Zhang Che didn’t go pick up the Purple Jade Condor’s beast card personally. It was too gory of a scene there. He was afraid he would feel unwell.
It wasn’t that Zhang Che couldn’t bear the sight of blood, but with so many fellow humans dying in that small area, it made him feel an inexplicable fear. It was probably the kind of fear that came from seeing your own death at the sight of your fellow species’ death.
Although the Gluttony Monkey’s speed was far below that of Hanxue or the Wind Shadow Wolf, making the round trip only took him about three minutes, handing a dark golden beast card with three hexagrams on it to Zhang Che.

“As I expected, this fellow really advanced in quality and became a powerful dark gold-quality beast.”
Fiddling with the dark golden beast card in his hand, Zhang Che revealed a faint contented smile.

It didn’t come easy. He finally obtained the first dark gold-quality beast card he could use. Thinking about it, he really didn’t have any subdued beasts that could keep up with his beastmaster tier among his Original Combat Body types.
Although the Fiery Scorpion and Wind Shadow Wolf were both at silver quality, they were only at one-star and two-star rank, respectively. Even the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly was only at bronze quality.
These three subdued beasts were still doing decently against exotic beasts at three-star bronze-quality or lower, but they would be completely outmatched against any three-star silver-quality and above exotic beasts.
Although the Gluttony Monkey’s offensive power was off the charts with the Falling Star Model X in hand, the crucial problem was that the exotic beasts he killed wouldn’t drop any beast cards.
-Hmm? Isn’t something not right?-
-Although the frisky monkey isn’t a subdued beast, if it kills an exotic beast with bow and arrow, isn’t it different from killing with his own hands? I wonder if it’ll leave a corpse or drop beast cards…-
It wasn’t hard to verify this. He’d find out the answer when the frisky monkey went and killed a few exotic beasts.
Zhang Che held the Purple Jade Condor card between his palms and began triggering spiritual resonance with it.
The dark gold-quality Purple Jade Condor’s attributes were as different as heaven and earth compared to when it was still gold-quality.
First, this fellow finally gained a skill, and an extremely powerful one, to boot!
From what it showed earlier when butchering the Tian Yin Squad, this Wing Blade skill was simply awesome! Not only that, it could last for a whole minute!
This skill was simply made for mass slaughter!
Also, this fellow actually still had a poison resistance halo. Perhaps it gained this halo that was unrelated to its characteristics because that poisonous spider was trying to eat it during the crucial moments for its advancement?
Zhang Che didn’t understand why, nor could he bother to.
In addition, Zhang Che vaguely recalled that the Purple Jade Condor seemed to be level twenty-nine yesterday, yet it had increased to thirty now, reaching the pinnacle of three-star rank.
If it wasn’t for it receiving multiple severe injuries yesterday, the Purple Jade Condor shouldn’t have only advanced in quality. Its level would probably have broken through to four-star tier.
Looking back at that, the Five-Colored Spiritual Flower was truly shockingly potent. It was likely that it was a top-grade herb, even among such treasures.
-What a pity; if I managed to snatch the Five-Colored Spiritual Flower yesterday, I might have found a complete cure for mom’s illness,- Zhang Che sighed inwardly. He knew it wasn’t meant to be. Obtaining the advanced Purple Jade Condor’s beast card was already a great fortune. He shouldn’t be too greedy.
Looking at it from another angle, it would be a breeze in the park for Zhang Che to hunt three-star exotic beasts from now on with the dark gold-quality Purple Jade Condor. Moreover, he had the Gluttony Monkey armed with Falling Star Model X. The combined combat potential of this subdued beast and pet duo was definitely not as simple as one plus one equals two.
As long as he could find sufficient three-star exotic beasts, Zhang Che was confident in advancing to Tier Four within two weeks!
Once he advanced to Tier Four, the Scarlet Flame Drake card lying silently in his backpack could be employed. At that time, his strength would multiply again.
This was a virtuous cycle; Zhang Che’s strength would only increase in the future!
After successfully branding his spiritual imprint on the Purple Jade Condor card, Zhang Che immediately Summoned it and got it to fly to a thousand meters above ground.
“Tsk tsk, this fellow’s innate attribute is really strong; it’s actually able to see clearly in a ten kilometer radius!”
Zhang Che revealed a faint smile. From now on, he finally owned a subdued beast with shocking scouting abilities.
As for the Large-Beaked Raven? To hell with that piece of crap!
“Now, it’s time to verify whether the frisky monkey’s kills will leave a corpse or drop beast cards!”
Under Zhang Che’s orders, the Purple Jade Condor soon informed him via their spiritual link that there was a Purple-Eyed Fox hiding in a bush about two hundred meters away from the hill he was on.
“It’s up to you now, frisky monkey!” Zhang Che waved his hand at the Gluttony Monkey by his side. The latter immediately drew an arrow, shooting it at the half-concealed Purple-Eyed Fox.
The M-type armor-piercing arrow shot forward from the Falling Star Model X bow, reaching its target in an instant. There wasn’t any time for the Purple-Eyed Fox to react to it. Its head was penetrated by the arrow, its limbs faced the sky, twitching a few times before ceasing all movements.
It seemed that even though the frisky monkey used a bow and arrow to kill the exotic beast, it wouldn’t drop any beast card…
What a strange rule, indeed!
