A few streamlined figures swam quickly through the deep, dark waters.

Although these water-based exotic beasts were huge, they were fast in the water, uninhibited by the current. As they swam, they didn’t stir up too strong of an undercurrent, either.

If Zhang Che didn’t have the golden vortex granting him senses far sharper than ordinary beastmasters, he wouldn’t have noticed these approaching exotic beasts. If things had really played out their way, when those water-type exotic beasts launched their sneak attacks, Zhang Che would be flustered, even with his strength.

The water wasn’t Zhang Che’s natural terrain, after all.

Even though the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s strength wasn’t diminished at all in the water, if there were too many water-type exotic beasts attacking, he might not be able to handle it.

In addition, Zhang Che wasn’t the only one in the water. There was also the elemental queen, who couldn’t swim.

Hundreds of thoughts flew through Zhang Che’s mind. He immediately decided, “Go, get up to the surface first.”

Only the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon was adept in the water. Also, from the looks of it, those attacking water-type exotic beast weren’t weak. To be safe, Zhang Che couldn’t remain in the deeper water any longer.

Even so, the water-type exotic beasts were extremely fast. They moved through the waters, their speed reaching the terrifying level of about a hundred meters per second. It was impossible for Zhang Che to swim up by himself.

“Master!” The elemental queen also noticed danger was approaching from the deep waters nearby. She cast a glance at Zhang Che, showing hints of worry on her face.

It couldn’t be helped; the elemental queen was restrained in this environment. Let alone fighting, it would be very good if she could even keep herself safe.

Zhang Che nodded at the elemental queen, signalling for her to not panic. In the next moment, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon grabbed hold of the two with his claws and quickly swam up to the surface.

Although the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon was no longer a water-type exotic beast, its name contained the word dragon, after all. His speed shouldn’t be underestimated when he was swimming at his fastest. Almost instantly, they emerged from the water’s surface when they were dozens of meters deep a moment before, rising to the skies along with a huge pillar of water.

Immediately, a few streamlined figures broke out of the water as well. Their terrifyingly savage mouths opened, revealing two rows of dagger-like sharp teeth each, biting at Zhang Che and the elemental queen ferociously, who were still in the grasp of the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon.

Zhang Che finally got a good look at them. These water-type exotic beasts were like huge sharks. They were more than eight meters long, they had no claws, and their bright skin was not covered in scales. However, there was a layer of slimy substance covering their bodies, emitting a luster under the sunlight.

“You’re looking to die!” the elemental queen shouted. After leaving the water, she immediately regained her former might. Waving her hands, balls of golden scarlet flames immediately shot down.

The shark-like exotic beasts finally reacted to the situation. It seemed like they had picked the wrong prey and had provoked a powerful existence they should not have offended.

Masses of water arrows shot out from their gaping maws at the same time. Afterwards, their slender bodies twisted in the air at a speed that defied the laws of physics, turning back and directly falling back into the water below.

Those shark-like exotic beasts were only at six-star dark gold-quality. How could they possibly dare to face the attacks of an epic-class combat force head on?

The masses of concentrated water arrows were instantly evaporated by the elemental queen’s flames, and continued burning towards the exotic beasts without losing any strength.

At this moment, Zhang Che hurriedly spoke out to stop her, “Don’t ruin their bodies! We’re eating them tonight!”

Although those exotic beasts were at six-star dark gold-quality, from the looks of it, obviously they could only display their power in the water.

Zhang Che did not want this kind of useless beast card. It was better to have a taste of their meat.

Hearing Zhang Che’s cries, the elemental queen waved her hands in a hurry. The flames immediately transformed in midair, turning into long flaming needles. Afterwards, the flames quickly shot towards the exotic beasts’ heads like precision-guided missiles.

The flaming needles easily plunged into the heads of the exotic beasts like red hot knives slicing into butter. Afterwards, they exploded, directly burning their brain matter into coal.

Plop, plop, plop!.. A few noises rang out consecutively as the exotic beasts fell into the water. No further commotion was seen after they fell, their huge bodies slowly sinking deeper into the water.

How could those six-star dark gold-quality exotic beasts possibly withstand the elemental queen’s attacks? They died instantly under her wave of attacks.

{ Author’s Note: A mistake in some earlier chapters. No beast cards will drop when the elemental queen kills exotic beasts.}

{ TLN: I’m pretty sure it was already amended by the time I got to translating it though (she was crippling things and another beast was finishing them off).}

Zhang Che was overjoyed. He quickly had the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon bring him and the elemental queen ashore, then dive back into the water and retrieve the corpses of the shark-like exotic beasts.

Those were mid-tier dark gold-quality exotic beasts! Zhang Che had never been so extravagant as to actually try the meat of such high quality and level exotic beasts and see what it tasted like.

Moreover, they were water-type exotic beasts. The flavor should be pretty different, right?

At that thought, Zhang Che immediately felt a pang of hunger rising in his stomach. He could no longer wait to dismember the corpses and find a place to barbecue!

When the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon brought their prey back, Zhang Che immediately stowed them away in his spatial storage, then mounted the dragon and flew off. After observing for a while in the sky, he decided on an elevated area in the swamp and landed there.

——

While Zhang Che started on his barbecue session in the swamp area, things were moving in the dark in Yuanshan City.

The three high-tier beastmasters sent by He Luotu were gathering the forces of the Freemason organization here. They organized a group of mid-tier and higher beastmasters, as well as a batch of devastating weapons they had gotten their hands on with much difficulty.

The Freemason organization’s men in Yuanshan City branch had some misgivings regarding the mission assigned to them by the higher-ups.

From their past experience, the Freemason organization had always expanded in a low profile manner. They had never made such a big move. Regarding this, the three high-tier beastmasters told them that they were going to slay a demon!

“Our Freemason organization is not only going to unite all the beastmasters without any background or influence. At the same time, we’ll also shoulder the responsibility of defending our homeland!

“I’m sure everyone here is aware of the demons’ invasion from before. Although we have obtained the first victory and forced them to retreat, the demons had many methods up their sleeves.

“Our President has learned from investigations that powerful demons have infiltrated our human society, taking over many beastmasters and concealing themselves, plotting evil schemes behind the scene to cause chaos.

“From our investigations, a genius beastmaster of humanity was actually taken over by one of those demons. He has come to Yuanshan City, his intentions unknown.

“In order to put a stop to them, the President has sent us three here to slay him before he makes his move. Are you willing to assist us in slaying the demon and maintain peace and stability for humanity?” The eldest of the three high-tier beastmasters, a middle-aged man with a righteous look, spoke with a low voice. He swept his anticipatory gaze across the elites of the organization in Yuanshan City.

“Rest assured, Vice-President, we’ll fight to the death and swear to slay the demon here, returning peaceful times to Mercury!” a youngster stood up, shouting at the top of his voice, his face red.

“Slaying the demon is our duty!” With someone leading the cheer, the rest of the beastmasters started shouting loudly as well.

“Good! After we succeed on this operation, I’ll surely ask for the President to reward everyone!” the righteous-looking middle-aged high-tier beastmaster was emotionally stirred as well, waving his hand enthusiastically.

Afterwards, orders were passed down. A series of arrangements was laid out near the spatial gateway Zhang Che had entered…
