“Look, Brother Meng, the valley ahead looks a little strange.”

At the edge of the valley, two beastmasters had walked in without anyone noticing, with an army of subdued beasts of various sizes following behind them, totaling nine subdued beasts.

It went to show that the beastmaster tier of these two were definitely not low.

The man on the left had an exaggerated punk hairstyle, with crafty-looking facial features. However, his observational skills were exceptional, being able to notice the peculiarity in the valley from over a hundred meters away.

On the other hand, Brother Meng on his right was a tall and muscular man. His combat suit was stretched out by his muscles, looking as if it would burst open at any moment.

Unlike the non-mainstream hairstyle his companion had, Brother Meng’s hairstyle was obviously very well-taken care of. Although it was only a simple crew cut, the corners and curves were all trimmed very exquisitely.

From this, you could tell that although this Brother Meng was a burly man, he was definitely more of the kind of person that paid attention to details.

“Hm, I see it. Let’s go take a look. Be careful.”

Brother Meng nodded without any changes to his expression. He stood still for a brief moment, his spirited eyes scanning across the entire valley. He only lengthened his strides once more after confirming that there weren’t any anomalies.

Their subdued beasts circled around them, ready to spring into action the moment any danger arose.

“Look, Brother Meng, there’s signs of battle here!”

The two approached where the Purple Jade Condor had slaughtered the group of Dark-Scaled Lizards earlier, and they immediately saw the aftermath. It was obvious that an intense battle had occurred here.

Brother Meng smacked his palm on back of the punk’s head, chiding him with a low voice, “What are you yapping on for? Don’t I have eyes to see for myself?!”

Brother Meng scanned their surroundings, and immediately discovered the deep cave along the cliff. His irises shrank slightly.

At the same time, the punk also noticed the cave. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly remembered how he was smacked on his head earlier and forced his mouth shut.

At this moment, there seemed to be vague sounds of battle coming from within the cave, and the two’s eyes lit up.

In the end, the punk still couldn’t hold it in as he suppressed his voice and said excitedly, “Brother Meng, there must be someone hunting exotic beasts in there. Should we go take a look?”

Brother Meng glared at him once more, scaring the punk into retracting his neck, hurriedly shutting his mouth.

Brother Meng thought for a moment, his eyes narrowed, before finally coming to a decision. He nodded slowly, saying, “Let’s go. We’ll go take a look, but we have to be careful about it. We’ll come out immediately if anything is wrong!”

———

“Heh, I knew that dark golden glow looked a little familiar. So there’s an enemy boss completing its advancement here!”

Zhang Che’s face only revealed a little surprise as he watched the ferocious exotic beast coming out of the water. He wasn’t scared at all.

His Original Combat Body-type beasts were all guarding at his side, and he had the Swamp Crocodile King armor equipped. He was fully confident of retreating safely no matter how terrifyingly strong this exotic beast was.

=========

Zhang Che saw the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander’s attributes the moment it came rushing at him, his eyes opening wide in shock uncontrollably.

This fellow was simply an overpowered, broken bug! {TL: as in programming bug} His babies didn’t seem to be able to defeat it; he had to escape quickly!

If they were in the open space outside, although the Purple Jade Condor might not necessarily be able to overpower it, the condor would be standing in an undefeatable position, at least. In this cave, however, his opponent’s strength was obviously augmented by the environment they were in.

The Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander was very fast. Its darkly glowing figure quickly pounced out, smacking the Fiery Scorpion and Wind Shadow Wolf, who came up to block it, away with its claw, nearly causing them to directly turn into streaks of light and dissipating.

“Its offensive strength is really high!” Zhang Che frowned. He recalled the injured Fiery Scorpion and Wind Shadow Wolf back into his spiritual sea with a wave of his hand, and the Purple Jade Condor and Cold Abyss Flood Dragon immediately went up together.

Alas, it was regrettable that the Purple Jade Condor wasn’t able to display its full strength in this situation. Even if it worked together with the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon, it felt like they wouldn’t be able to match it.

Fortunately, the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander seemed to be apprehensive of the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon’s arctic breath. Otherwise, it would have charged past their blockade long ago and gone straight for Zhang Che.

“Its a pity that the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon’s quality is a little too low. Even if it was only at gold-quality, it would have been able to keep the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander in check!”

Zhang Che was a little disappointed. Although the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander’s weakness was ice elemental attacks, the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon was two quality tiers lower than it; the power the Dragon could exhibit was much less effective against it.

Even so, Zhang Che was able to retreat out of the cave safely.

The true battle would only start if the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander dared to give chase outside.

Zhang Che slowly moved closer to the exit while keeping his guard up for this dark gold-quality exotic beast’s Earth Displacement skill ambush, when he suddenly heard some vague, messy footstep sounds from outside.

-Other beastmasters are here!-

Zhang Che hurriedly stopped in place, carefully distancing himself from the tunnel that connected to the outside.

Humans were oftentimes even more dangerous than exotic beasts; how could he not be on guard?

Moreover, the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander that was tangling with the Purple Jade Condor and Cold Abyss Flood Dragon was obviously an extraordinary beast. Who was to say that they wouldn’t have thoughts of committing murder and snatching the treasure away?

The footsteps quickly approached closer, the light of flames entering his sight. Zhang Che saw two men holding torches running towards him, accompanied by the entourage of a group of subdued beasts.

The three matched gazes, without any exchange of words. An awkward feeling arose.

Brother Meng and the punk kept silent for a brief moment, their gazes fell upon the three battling beasts. After that, they exchanged glances and nodded unnoticeably at each other.

“Don’t panic, brother, we’ll help you!”

After saying that, the two actually commanded their army of subdued beasts and charged into the cavern together.

Zhang Che swept his gaze across the group of subdued beasts. A pleasantly surprised look showed on his face as he expressed his thanks, his voice filled with gratitude, “Aiya, thank you so much, really!” He recalled the Purple Jade Condor and Cold Abyss Flood Dragon with a wave of his hand, and actually ran towards the two beastmasters.

“Go, get rid of him!”

The group of subdued beasts that were originally running towards the battlefield suddenly changed directions at almost the same time, quickly surrounding Zhang Che.

Even so, Zhang Che’s face revealed a hint of mockery. A thick, savage-looking purplish-brown club appeared in his hand out of nowhere, instantly turning into a long whip and shot towards the tunnel behind Brother Meng and the punk.

Whoosh!

Brother Meng and the punk felt a gust of wind blowing past them in the next second, and Zhang Che had already disappeared from their sights.

Illuminated by the flames, the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander had been enraged long ago. After suddenly losing its targets, it shifted its gaze onto Brother Meng and the punk.

“What the heck! What happened? What was that on that kid’s hand? How did he suddenly disappear right under our sights in an instant?”

Brother Meng and the punk looked at each other in dismay...
