If they were really military personnel who were bought over to murder him, then it’d be very troublesome.
Zhang Che wasn’t in a hurry to take on the three epic-quality subdued beasts. Instead, he creased his brow and started thinking.
The problem this time didn’t seem trivial. Bribing the military and laying out a meticulous trap to kill him wasn’t something an ordinary little faction could do.
At the very least, only large clans like the Zhen family had this capability. But, the people behind this couldn’t be the Zhen family. It shouldn’t be any clans from this country, actually…
Ever since Zhang Che had submitted the information on exotic beast genetic evolution fluid, he had entered the list of people under protection from the upper echelons. Causing small troubles here and there was nothing, but if someone actually dared to openly go against the rules and bribe the military to kill Zhang Che, it was impossible for them to not be discovered, no matter how discreet they were. They’d have to pay a heavy price for it in the end!
“Strange. Since it’s not a faction from Hua Xia, could it be the Japanese or the Bei Mei region? That’s impossible. Although they are extremely powerful, it’s impossible for them to cause such a huge scene here.”
Zhang Che found this stranger the more he thought about it. He truly couldn’t understand it, despite him making use of all the juices in his brain. Who exactly was it that had laid out an ambush here to kill him?
If he couldn’t think of it, then he’d stop thinking about it. Zhang Che shook his head, then had the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon fly some distance to the side.
Below them, the colorful poisonous gas had completely spread all over the area. Even being a thousand meters in the sky no longer guaranteed his safety.
——
“Run, that demon’s subdued beasts are here!”
On one of the hills, some low-tier beastmasters summoned their subdued beasts one after another, mounting them and running into the forest behind them.
The Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus was like a super tank, forcibly mowing down a path through the woods, and he had arrived at the edge of the artillery formation.
He let out a furious roar. Facing the ones responsible for ambushing his master, he wouldn’t show the slightest hint of politeness. He strode forth, giving chase and stepping on the beastmasters and subdued beasts who weren’t able to run in time, instantly turning them into meat paste.
That fellow weighed many tons. Coupled with moving at high speed, the momentum he brought with him was simply unstoppable.
—
At the same time, on the other hill, the Mutated Giant Ape was advancing nimbly. Unlike the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus’ violent methods, going around demolishing things, and although the Mutated Giant Ape was also much bigger than humans, he was a master at boxing in the end. When hunting down his enemies, his methods were very artistic.
He bobbed and weaved his way through the crowd of humans, his fists blurry, striking the scattered beastmasters and subdued beasts from time to time.
With every punch he threw, a beastmaster would directly burst into a mist of blood, or a subdued beast would turn into a glow of light. There was no need to follow up at all.
For a period of time, Zhang Che’s two powerful fighting forces, with those two pets at the fore, quickly destroyed the two camps, along with the steel cannons.
——
Zhang Che waited for a while, but the three epic-quality subdued beasts still didn’t come at him.
“What’s going on? Are they setting up some kind of trap again?”
Earlier, Zhang Che had sensed the three epic-quality subdued beasts’ auras stopping in the forest ahead, and he immediately stopped in response, choosing not to meet them head on for fear of them having some tricks up their sleeves.
After all, his unidentified enemies have shown tons of preparations intended to kill him thus far. If there was anything that could threaten him they haven’t shown yet, it would be really dangerous for him.
Even so, Zhang Che started to grow impatient when they remained passive for so long.
“Freaking hell, no matter what other tricks you have, since you’ve failed to kill me even now, it’ll be absolutely impossible afterwards!” Zhang Che grit his teeth and took the initiative on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, diving towards the forest where the three epic-quality subdued beasts were.
Since they weren’t coming, he’d go over himself!
Even if the beastmasters who had summoned the epic-quality subdued beasts weren’t the masterminds behind this incident, they were most likely important members of the faction. If Zhang Che could capture them, he’d be able to find out who or what faction had ambushed him.
—
Unbeknownst to Zhang Che, however, after seeing him withstanding the wave of explosions, the three high-tier beastmasters from the Freemasonry were already staring with their mouths agape.
Although they had analyzed that Zhang Che was very strong from their intelligence, they never expected him to be THAT powerful!
Even the three of them might not survive the terrifying explosions if they didn’t have superb beast card armor! Not only that, they’d probably suffer internal injuries from the shockwaves even if their beast card armor withstood the explosions, and lose their ability to continue fighting as a result.
However, Zhang Che had survived all that! Not only that, he summoned out all his strongest combat forces in one go, giving the three high-tier beastmasters a great scare!
No joke; he had four combatants with fighting strength at epic-quality, even more than theirs combined! Not to mention that he also had a spiritual sword fragment with terrifying destructive power. His overall strength had completely exceeded theirs!
At the beginning, they thought Zhang Che would have lost his ability to fight, even if he didn’t die from the explosions. In the end, however, other than looking to be in a slightly worse state, he wasn’t affected much at all. There was no way for them to continue this assault!
As such, the three of them stopped at the same time,halting the attacks of their respective epic-quality subdued beasts on Zhang Che. The epic-quality beasts were granted to them by the president. If they perished here, the three beastmasters would have a hard time explaining themselves when they returned.
Of course, the difficulty of explaining themselves was only a small matter. If the epic-quality beasts perished here, the three of them wouldn’t be able to escape. That would be an even greater loss!
As a result, the three of them stopped at the same time and immediately contacted He Luotu with a personal terminal, seeking his opinion on what they should do next.
After recounting the situation here clearly, He Luotu, who was far away at the headquarters in the southeast, fell silent for a while. In the end, he had no choice but to agree with their suggestion: to preserve their strength and retreat from there!
—
So when Zhang Che dove down into the woods below on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, the three epic-quality auras suddenly disappeared without a trace.
The woods were thick and dense with foliage. With so many low-tier beastmasters positioned in this area, Zhang Che wasn’t able to quickly identify the masters of the three epic-quality subdued beasts or discover which direction they were in.
“Freaking hell, you want to run after launching a series of bombardment at me? No such good thing!”
Zhang Che clenched his teeth in anger. He didn’t care where the mid or high-tier beastmasters were hiding. If he caught a few people to interrogate, the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly would ensure they’d spill everything they knew.
At that time, Zhang Che would naturally find out who it was that wanted him dead!
The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon hovered around in the skies just above the forest for a while. Zhang Che immediately picked his targets out and captured a few low-tier beastmasters.
As for the masters of the three epic-quality subdued beasts, Zhang Che didn’t manage to find them, and they escaped from the scene.
The low-tier beastmasters captured by the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon were paralyzed with fear, nearly soiling their pants. There was no need for Zhang Che to use the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly at all; they spilled out everything they knew by themselves.
“Freemasons? What kind of stupid organization is that?”
Zhang Che soon found out that the ones who ambushed him were from an organization known as the Freemasons. However, the people he captured were too weak, and they obviously didn’t know anything about the higher-ups of the organization. All they knew was that this operation was personally led by three vice-presidents, setting up this death trap which they had originally thought to be perfect.
Zhang Che also found out the reason he was targeted. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at the discovery.
“A demon hidden among the humans? What in the freaking hell is that stupid reason!?” Zhang Che didn’t believe what they said. They were most likely being deceived by the Freemasonry higher-ups. If the demons were indeed so strong, having the ability to possess the human experts, wouldn’t Mercury be in chaos by now?
“Freemasons… Hmph hmph, I remember you now! I’ll get people to investigate you when I get back. When I find out where your nest is, I’ll surely kill my way over personally and see what kind of demons you people are!”
Zhang Che couldn’t be bothered killing those grunts. He directly rode away on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon and flew off towards Yuanshan City.
As for the grudge of being shot at, he had marked it down in his heart!
Currently, he was in a hurry to advance to Tier Seven beastmaster and didn’t have time to care about all that. He’d just have his father-in-law get his men to investigate first. After Zhang Che had broken through to Tier Seven beastmaster and had grown even stronger, he’d then go find trouble with those people.
All along only Zhang Che had been the one setting others up. This time, he was nearly set up by others. One could only imagine how fierce the rage hidden deep in his heart was…
