Zhang Che was very satisfied after taming another powerful legend-quality beast as his pet.
He couldn’t help but started counting with his fingers.
Among his pets, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon was at five-star legend-quality, the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus was similarly at five-star legend-quality, and now even the Mutated Giant Ape was so.
Among his subdued beasts, he had legend-quality beasts of three different types.
For Original Combat Body Type, the Purple Crystal Tortoise was at four-star, and the Scarlet Flame Drake at five-star.
For weapon type, he had the five-star Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword.
Last but not least, he had the four-star Unicorn for healing type.
Adding all his legend-quality babies, he had a total of seven of them!
There shouldn’t be very many mid-tier beastmasters this powerful even across the entire globe, right?
After all, even those large houses couldn’t bear to pile so many resources on a single member. If you had no epic-quality beasts, you couldn’t be considered to have a high-end combat force, no matter how many legend-quality beasts you had.
Since that was the case, they would rather distribute them to more members if they had so many legend-quality beast cards. This way, their strength would be more balanced and wouldn’t draw dissatisfaction from the other members.
Of course, now that the gateway to the secret plane had appeared, everything was different.
Many households or groups with sufficient financial strength and influence would concentrate large amounts of resources onto one or two members in order to ensure their safety, not to mention they might get even more benefits from the secret plane in the end.
Although Zhang Che had seven legend-quality babies, he didn’t dare to claim that he was the strongest of all the beastmasters participating in the opening of the secret plane.
Moreover, some members of major houses or groups were sure to have epic-quality subdued beasts on them! It was a given!
Although epic-quality beasts were strong, that was only relative to ordinary beastmasters. For those huge figures standing at the top of the human race, it wasn’t impossible for them to slay one or two of them.
The foundation of those large households or groups was something unimaginable to ordinary people.
“Damn it, if I think of it that way, I’m not strong enough!” Zhang Che felt a little dejected after his own realization. Well, only a little.
That was because he wasn’t very worried, even if some of the beastmasters entering the secret plane owned epic-quality subdued beasts.
Even if he couldn’t win against them, couldn’t he just run away?
After all, epic-quality subdued beasts were not a dime a dozen. Even if some people had them, they would have only one or two at the most.
With seven legend-quality babies in his arsenal, he could withdraw safely even if he couldn’t best them in a fight.

After retrieving all of the scattered bone spikes, the Purple Crystal Tortoise rose from the snowy ground.
After sorting out his frame of mind, Zhang Che recalled the frisky monkey back into his spiritual sea under the latter’s extremely unwilling gaze, and continued on his journey towards the depths of the mountain range.
There were satellites overhead spying on him. Zhang Che didn’t want others to find out about the terrifying truth of the frisky monkey’s archery ability. As such, he could only recall him into his spiritual sea.
In any case, that fellow’s mission was completed. The Mutated Giant Ape was successfully tamed; naturally he could be kept away.
“Don’t worry. I’ll find a chance for you to take a breather outside after we enter the secret plane,” Zhang Che consoled him after seeing the resentment on the frisky monkey’s face.
That fellow’s archery skill was amazing. He would definitely exhibit great strength after they entered the secret plane… and there wouldn’t be any satellites spying in there. Naturally Zhang Che wouldn’t be as cautious.
Oftentimes, there wouldn’t be any other powerful exotic beasts in a wide area around where another powerful beast was. They were extremely territorial, unable to tolerate the existence of other strong beings in their surroundings.

Since the Mutated Giant Ape could stay here peacefully, it meant that there shouldn’t be another powerful exotic beast in the surrounding few dozen kilometers.
As such, Zhang Che could ride on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon without worries and fly close to the ground. They flew a few dozen kilometers forward, crossing countless valleys and mountain summits.
Indeed, as he had expected, none of the exotic beasts he saw on the way were legend-quality, or even dark gold-quality.
There were only a couple of mid-tier gold-quality exotic beasts, which, to the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, was something easily dealt with using a few streams of frozen air. In the end, all of their corpses were collected and thrown into the Purple Crystal Tortoise’s spatial pocket.
Gold-quality exotic beasts were not only a source of food for Zhang Che. Their scales, claws, skeletons, and other parts were all valuable materials. He could sell them for quite a pretty sum.
After flying about fifty kilometers away from where he met the Mutated Giant Ape, Zhang Che had the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon slow down, and at the same time summoned out all his capable babies with the exception of the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus.
Safety was no longer guaranteed ahead.
Suddenly, a faint yell could be heard from the mountain ahead.
“Hmm? Someone else came to this area ahead before me?” A look of surprise flashed across Zhang Che’s face. After a short deliberation, Zhang Che recalled most of his babies, bringing only the Scarlet Flame Drake and the fully recovered Mutated Giant Ape with him, continuing forward with haste.
Just as he circled around a mountain foot, he saw a young man running through the valley ahead, his face pale with fright. A short distance behind him, two subdued beasts were confronting a ferocious beast whose entire body was covered in black flames, slowly being beaten back.
“Eh? I didn’t expect that guy Zhang Yujie to also participate in this journey to the secret plane.”
Zhang Che immediately recognized this young man: Zhang Yujie, Zhang-dashao from Qian Wei City’s Ding Feng Corporation.
However, with the Ding Feng Corporation’s strength, wasn’t it a little risky letting Zhang Yujie join in on this trip?
Wasn’t the scene before him the proof?
Although they were a little too far away, leaving Zhang Che unable to see the attributes of Zhang Yujie’s subdued beasts, just judging from the battle, Zhang Che guessed that they weren’t even legend-quality. Currently, they were getting chased down and beaten up by that exotic beast covered in black flame, its true appearance unknown. The deaths of his subdued beasts were almost certain.
Zhang Yujie probably didn’t dare to recall his subdued beasts, either. Facing off against that ferocious beast alone would only hasten his death.
-Should I l save him?- This thought flashed through Zhang Che’s mind. He found Zhang Yujie quite a decent person when he came in contact with him in his Sun Che persona. Although he might not be a very candid person, he knew himself well and acted with propriety.
-Whatever, we’re acquaintances after all. I’ll just lend him a helping hand.-
Thinking of that, Zhang Che recalled the Scarlet Flame Drake and Mutated Giant Ape. Instead, he summoned the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon and flew close to the ground directly towards them.
“Brother, save me!” Zhang Yujie immediately cried out in joy when he saw someone approaching as he ran for his life.
The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon quickly arrived at Zhang Yujie’s side, and Zhang Che finally saw that ferocious beast’s attributes.
-Oh shit, it’s actually a seven-star dark gold-quality exotic beast! This Zhang Yujie’s luck is really something!- Zhang Che’s heart trembled. He hurriedly pulled Zhang Yujie up onto the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s back and had his pet turn to fly away, ignoring those two subdued beasts whose deaths were certain.
“Brother, words alone cannot express my gratitude! My name is Zhang Yujie, from Qian Wei City. Just say the word if there’s anything I can help you with in the future!”
Zhang Yujie showed no intentions of recalling those two subdued beasts. Instead, he thanked Zhang Che profusely, his face filled with joy.
He knew that once he recalled those two subdued beasts of his, that ferocious beast behind was sure to pursue them instead. If this big brother was displeased with his action and directly threw him off, wouldn’t he meet his end here?
He could slowly replace his lost subdued beasts, but everything was lost if he died.
“No need for that. I just happened to pass by. I see that brother your strength is a little lacking. Why did you choose to participate in this trip?” Zhang Che smiled lightly, not mentioning his own name and voiced out his doubts instead.
“Ai, it’s a long story,” Zhang Yujie sighed. Complicated emotions flashed across his eyes, saying, “I’ll have to trouble brother to drop me off a little further ahead. I shan’t take up any more of your time.”
Seeing Zhang Che not introducing himself, Zhang Yujie knew that the opposite party didn’t wish to make an acquaintance of him, and very tactfully said all that.
Zhang Che nodded and had the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon fly a few dozen kilometers further before dropping Zhang Yujie off.
There weren’t many exotic beasts in this area. Zhang Yujie only had to make his way back to the camp and there wouldn’t be much danger to speak of.
After seeing Zhang Yujie’s sorrowful back gradually disappear from sight, Zhang Che turned around and chose another direction, continuing on his journey carefully.
Although he was already considered very strong, Zhang Yujie’s encounter was a very good example. Zhang Che didn’t dare to be careless in the slightest. If his luck was bad and he encountered an exotic beast he couldn’t deal with, he might find himself in Zhang Yujie’s shoes!
