Zhang Che felt very conflicted.
He hoped that the Huge Sword boss was at legend-quality, or even higher, but was afraid that it would be too strong, and that his subdued beasts and pets wouldnât be able to take it down.
Now, he finally understood why the Poison Fire Twin-Headed Dragon didnât chase him into the valley. It was most likely because of this Huge Sword bossâs existence, which left it trembling in fear.
A small purple figure suddenly ran out of the cave.
Immediately after, a wave of metal scraping sounds rang out from deep in the cave. A huge black shadow came chasing closely behind the tortoise.
When that black shadow came to the front of the cave, Zhang Che couldnât help but suck in a deep breath of cold air after seeing it.
The Huge Sword bossâs body was over four meters long, the black carapace covering it giving off a faint red glow.
This didnât count for anything, however. Zhang Cheâs gaze was completely drawn to the huge sword on its mutated limb.
The huge sword was over two meters long, its widest part about twenty centimeters across. The black sword body was dotted with scarlet star patterns, giving off a faint scarlet luster. One look and you knew it was a dangerous weapon.

=========
âScarlet Meteorite Metal!â Zhang Cheâs eyes nearly popped out from their sockets. He never expected this Huge Sword boss had devoured a large amount of scarlet meteorite metal.
It was a metal ore even rarer than purple-gold crystal, with only a single application. When mixed into weapons, their sharpness would increase greatly, improving its armor-breaking ability. As scarlet meteorite metal was too rare, its price was even higher than purple-gold crystals.
He didnât expect there to be scarlet meteorite metal in this cave!
In an instant, Zhang Cheâs eyes were shining with gold.
However, to obtain the scarlet meteorite metal in the cave, first he had to get rid of this Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword!
That fellow wasnât easy to deal with. It was a five-star legend-quality beast which excelled in attacking. Even the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus was no match for it.
However, this fellowâs weakness was actually the combined elemental attack of ice and fire?
-Hmm, I wonder if the Scarlet Flame Drake and Cold Abyss Flood Dragon could turn its carapace brittle? If yes, itâll be a piece of cake with deal with it.-
No matter if they could or could not, this was the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Swordâs only weakness. Zhang Che had to give it a try no matter what. Thus, he summoned the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon with a wave of his hand.
Of course, having the Scarlet Flame Drake and Cold Abyss Flood Dragon rush forward directly was an act of suicide.
Zhang Che wouldnât be so silly.
As such, his brain worked at maximum capacity, and quickly cooked up an extremely detailed plan.
Zhang Che first gave an order to the Purple Crystal Tortoise, stopping it from running and face the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword, âStop running, little tortoise. Continue harassing it!â
In any case, this boss beast was successfully lured out of its cave. The Purple Crystal Tortoise no longer had to feign running away in fear.
Of course, it couldnât defeat its foe originally, but the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword was similarly unable to do a thing to it.
The Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword was immediately filled with joy when it saw this little thing crawling back. The huge black sword on its mutated front limb was raised up high, drawing a black-scarlet arc and slashing down on the Purple Crystal Tortoiseâs shell.
Kuang! A loud sound rang out. The Purple Crystal Tortoiseâs body was smashed into the ground. Afterwards, it quickly crawled back up and continued swaying back and forth before the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword.
It truly was an unkillable cockroach!
Kuang! Kuang! Kuang!
It was an insect, after all. No matter how strong it was, it was still a simpleton. The Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword was thoroughly intent on destroying the Purple Crystal Tortoise. It kept swinging the dreadful huge sword at the Purple Crystal Tortoiseâs shell, producing an unending wave of loud impacts.
A hint of smiling intent was revealed in Zhang Cheâs eyes. He looked towards the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus at the side, -Youâre up now!-
The Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus, who couldnât hold himself back anymore, raised his head and let out a loud roar. In the next moment, Zhang Cheâs leg flew up, sending a kick to his butt.
âWhat are you crying out for! Enter the village silently and donât open fire. Understand?â {TLN: Reference to a classic line in a 1965 Chinese film, Tunnel War.}
The Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus showed a wronged expression. -You didnât say so earlier...-
Afterwards, this large fellow strode forward with small steps, running towards the battlefield, each step causing a loud thump.
Zhang Che almost covered his face, -With your weight, how do you enter the village silently, huh...-
As expected, the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Swordâs attention was immediately drawn to the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus. It turned its head, facing him.
The Purple Crystal Tortoise was displeased. -I let you strike me for so long, you actually donât put me to mind at all?- It widened its mouth and shot out a rock spear, aiming at the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Swordâs mouth.
A crisp sound rang out. The rock spear exploded into countless bits, scattering in all directions. However, the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Swordâs mouth was unwounded.
âTsk, tsk. It seems like itâs impossible to injure this fellow with physical attacks.â Zhang Che was shocked inwardly after watching this. Logically speaking, shouldnât an insectâs mouth be where its defense was extremely thin? The Purple Crystal Tortoiseâs supersonic rock spear attack was actually ineffective against it. It truly was even tougher than a tortoiseâs shell.
Fortunately, although the Purple Crystal Tortoiseâs attack didnât hurt the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword, it managed to draw back its attention.
Kuang! Kuang! Kuang! Another round of smashing ensued...
On the other front, the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus finally closed in on the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword. Following then order from Zhang Che, he picked up speed and charged at the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword at a hundred-meter-dash pace.
The big guy was so heavy that when he started running at full speed, and it seemed like the entire valley was trembling.
Seeing the Purple Crystal Tortoise continue running back and forth uninjured despite its attacks, the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword finally stopped its meaningless beating, and turned its head to the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus.
The great dinosaur saw a massive black shadow arcing towards it.
A dark-scarlet sword light flashed in the air, like an opening was torn apart in space. The Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword slashed at the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus without hesitation.
-Absolute Defense! â At Zhang Cheâs command, a deep black glow suddenly shone on the surface of the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurusâ body.
A loud clang rang out. The dark-scarlet huge sword was deflected, bouncing high up into the air.
The Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurusâ momentum wasnât impeded at all. He opened his jaws, and bit down at the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Swordâs exposed right front limb.
A wave of ear-piercing creaking and grating sounds rang out, like metal grinding against metal. The Scarlet Meteorite Huge Swordâs limb-sword was held tightly in place by the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurusâ sharp teeth. Although his terrifyingly strong biting strength was still unable to tear it apart, he could lock it in place, leaving it unable to budge.
