During the entire process, the team of beastmasters didn’t even get a hundred meters away.

Zhang Che’s proficiency in using the sword had reached an extremely high level, being able to direct it as he wished. At the same time, it was also due to the team of beastmasters not being very strong, with no way to defend against the scarlet sword’s attacks.

If there were a couple of them with legendary-quality armor, it wouldn’t have been so easy for Zhang Che to decapitate them all with the scarlet sword.

It wasn’t that they didn’t try to retaliate, either, but their subdued beasts were too weak. When their attacks land on Zhang Che, they were unable to break through the Purple Crystal Armor’s defense at all, failing to hurt even a strand of Zhang Che’s hair.

” Ai, I didn’t want to kill you. Blame it on your bad luck to have seen the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon and the Purple Crystal Armor,” Zhang Che sighed. Truthfully speaking, if he had a choice, he truly wasn’t willing to kill so many people.

Alas, he didn’t have a choice. They had already seen the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon and the transformed Purple Crystal Armor. In order to not expose his whereabouts, Zhang Che could only steel himself and act as an executioner, slaughtering them all.

Of course, if he killed them, so be it. In Zhang Che’s eyes, they weren’t really considered as one of his own. What was the big deal?

After getting rid of the team of beastmasters, Zhang Che turned to look behind him.

On the other side, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon had successfully taken care of his battle, too.

Earlier, Zhang Che had seen from a quick glance that the snake was only had the strength of four-star legend-quality beast, a whole level lower than the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, not to mention it had suffered heavy injuries. As such, Zhang Che left it in the hands of the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon very assuredly.

From the looks of it now, that fellow was indeed far from a match for the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon. Currently, the dragon was biting the neck of the snake, and the strength it could muster was quickly falling.

As the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon kept injecting his abyssal cold energy into it, the icy blue snake’s body finally went limp, losing all signs of life.

Afterwards, Zhang Che received notification gaining soul force points, his eyes narrowing in excitement.

This truly was killing two birds with one stone. He gained soul force points, and the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon got his food. What’s next was to see how much benefit the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon would get after devouring the snake.

Since the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s body was already crystallized, his eating method was unusual, too. Zhang Che saw multiple blue currents flowing out of the snake’s body where the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon had bitten it, which were sucked directly into his mouth.

The blue current gushed out at an increasingly fierce rate, while the icy blue snake’s body quickly paled in color. Eventually, it turned into a transparent ice snake, and slid down from the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s jaws, falling to the ground and shattering into countless shards.

“What an unusual lifeform...” Zhang Che sighed, shaking his head. He couldn’t understand the reason behind it.

In the next moment, it seemed like dense masses of deep blue currents started stirring in the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon. He raised his head and let out a clear cry, then turned into a ray of light and shot back into Zhang Che’s spiritual sea.

Zhang Che wasn’t surprised at the sudden situation, but happy instead.

The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon was certainly about to undergo an advancement. Why else would he return to Zhang Che’s spiritual sea?

As expected, after the five-colored streak of light representing the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon returned, a blurry rainbow ray of light immediately fell from the rainbow crystal high up in the air of Zhang Che’s spiritual sea, enveloping it.

Zhang Che showed an ecstatic expression. He no longer paid attention to the process of the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s evolution. Instead, he shifted his gaze to the ice-clear snow lotus growing in the crevice.

Well, since Zhang Che didn’t know what this flower was called, he’d just refer it as a snow lotus for now.

Just as he walked up to the flower, Zhang Che felt a faint fragrance wafting into his nose. If it wasn’t for his senses being enhanced by the golden vortex, he might not have sensed it at all.

He even wondered if the golden vortex grew stronger in the future, could it strengthen his senses without limit? At that time, he wouldn’t need the glutton that was the frisky monkey to look for spiritual herbs! He just had to perk up his nose and find them from the smell!

-Not right, wouldn’t I become a freaking alien dog then?- Zhang Che suddenly felt the shivers, not daring to continue thinking down this line.

He refocused his attention on the snow white lotus, realizing how big it really was. The flower was half a meter wide, and no leaves could be seen underneath it. Only a strong, thick green stem grew out from the snowy ground.

Indeed, spiritual herbs and whatnot couldn’t be judged with common sense. Every one of them were as peculiar as could be.

Zhang Che couldn’t be bothered to think so much, either. He had the Purple Crystal Tortoise dispel its armor form. Afterwards, a scarlet sword light flashed, slicing the flower from the stem and Zhang Che threw it into the Purple Crystal Tortoise’s pocket dimension.

“Now, let’s continue on my way. My destination is ten thousand kilometers away. I will need a few days’ time to get there.”

After playing the fisherman and fishing out two rewards, Zhang Che was in a beautiful mood. He was about to summon the Purple Jade Condor and fly deeper into the beast world, when he suddenly stopped what he was doing. He narrowed his eyes, staring at the crevice where the snow lotus grew.

“Going by common sense, this doesn’t seem like a place spiritual qi would gather. Why did such an obviously high-tier spiritual flower grow here?”

Zhang Che thought for a while, then decided to summon the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus.

That fellow had a large body. Using him for clearing paths was a very decent choice. He walked forward and swung his strong, thick tail fiercely. The thick layer of snow above the crevice was immediately swept away, revealing the rock strata underneath.

“Come, clear the rocks here. See what exactly is different underneath,” Zhang Che instructed the Purple Crystal Tortoise. The latter immediately came up obediently, opening its mouth wide, utilizing its innate attribute. The earth in the crevice was quickly sucked into its mouth, revealing the rock strata underneath.

“Hmm? This rock strata is indeed questionable!” Zhang Che clearly saw a section of the lush green stem growing deep into the rock strata.

That didn’t make sense; since when were there plants that grew from rocks!?

Zhang Che immediately grew excited. He ordered the Purple Crystal Tortoise to continue digging. After digging through the surface layer of rocks, a large piece of translucent crystal that resembled glassy species jadeite suddenly appeared.

-This is...-

Zhang Che quickly scanned through the memories of his predecessor, looking through the oceanic information bank. After a short while, a look of wild joy showed on his face.

He didn’t expect his sudden impulse today to have the frisky monkey use his skill to look for spiritual herbs in this area to bring about such huge reward!

Such a surprise, if only they would happen a few times every day! That’d be for the best!
