Given how strong Zhang Che’s babies were, let alone an epic-quality exotic beast, even if another one or two came, it was no problem, Zhao Wu and the others thought.

On their way here, they had witnessed Zhang Che’s strength for themselves. They were very confident of him, not worried at all that he would be afraid of an epic-quality exotic beast.

Zhang Che was of the same opinion. Seeing the near-twenty meters tall epic-quality exotic beast with sharp barbs all over its body, its eyes emitting a metallic light, Zhang Che couldn’t help but show a knowing faint smile. – Hmm. This trip wasn’t a wasted one. The epic-quality beast card I promised father-in-law is settled.-

However, it seemed like the epic-level beast seemed to have some intelligence. It was aware Zhang Che’s babies were strong, and didn’t rush at him directly. Instead, it hid within a pack of exotic beasts to observe the situation.

If Zhang Che wanted to kill it, he’d need to spend some effort to do so!

-Hmm. First, I have to have Zhao Wu and the others retreat further to a safe distance.-

The exotic beasts were very densely packed here, with no lack of dark gold-quality beasts among them. It wasn’t a problem for Zhang Che, but Zhao Wu’s group was a little lacking to take care of the beasts by themselves.

After all, they only had legend-quality subdued beasts. It wasn’t easy for them to gain a foothold when facing such a huge pack of powerful exotic beasts.

Zhang Che turned to look at Zhao Wu’s group and said in a loud voice, “Big Brother Zhao, I’ll hold down the exotic beasts here first. You guys retreat a little. I’m afraid you’ll be in danger if I can’t control the field during battle.”

Although they very much wanted to say that they weren’t afraid of death and were willing to guard Zhang Che’s flanks, after considering their strength, they felt like they might not be able to help Zhang Che at all in the end, and would add to his troubles instead. As a result, they could only nod bitterly and took the chance to kill their way backwards.

Since when did high-tier beastmasters with legend-quality subdued beasts become burdens?

Back in the day, they were the elites of their squad. They would act as the spear head in every operation they took part in, fiercely breaking through into the heart of the enemy crowd.

Truly, comparing oneself with another would only bring about frustration!

Zhao Wu and the others thought they needed to train harder in the future and work harder to kill powerful exotic beasts in the beast world, striving to improve their strength. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to provide any help at all if they were to become Zhang Che’s subordinates. That would be bad…

Zhang Che ordered his babies to pull back from the direction they were attacking in and block the wave of exotic beasts’ rush, allowing Zhao Wu and the others to safely retreat. Afterwards, he set his gaze onto that twenty-meter tall steel monster.

That epic-quality steel beast was aware Zhang Che had discovered it, and no longer hid itself. Instead, it commanded the nearby exotic beasts to launch a fiercer assault on Zhang Che’s group.

For a period of time, all kinds of steel exotic beasts came together and formed a flood of steel, fiercely crashing their way towards Zhang Che with a momentum that seemed able to devastate all that stood in its way.

“Hmm, what a cunning fellow. It actually knows to send weaklings to deplete my strength first!” Zhang Che narrowed his eyes.

Although he was surprised by the steel exotic beast’s intelligence, Zhang Che wasn’t scared at all. If he wasn’t confident, he wouldn’t have dared to rush his way in so openly, and allow the army of exotic beasts to surround him.

Since he was here, naturally he wasn’t afraid!

-Let’s see how much power they can display when these exotic beasts are fighting without regard for their lives!- Zhang Che thought. Waving his hand, he ordered his babies to shrink their attack circle further. The elemental queen and the Scarlet Flame Drake fought at the fore, spitting out balls of blazing flame at the flood of steel ahead.

The flames flew out at high speed with sharp whistling sounds, like they were twisting the space ahead with their heat.

The elemental queen and the Scarlet Flame Drake’s fire attacks were innate to them. Their temperature was terrifyingly high.

Even though the exotic beasts rushing at them weren’t weak, when subjected to such terrifying temperatures, they quickly melted as they cried out miserably. They turned into brief flares of light one after another, briefly lighting up the area.

It wasn’t just the elemental queen and the Scarlet Flame Drake whose attacks were fierce. The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s cold breath was devastating to those metal-attributed exotic beasts, too. Stream after stream of cold air swept at them. Any who came into contact with his cold breath would stiffen involuntarily, and fall forward from their momentum, to be trampled on by the exotic beasts behind them.

Under the trampling of their companions, the exotic beasts whose bodies were turned into ice statues would crack and shatter, losing all signs of life.

Compared to these three babies’ terrifying attack power, however, the rest of Zhang Che’s babies were much less effective in dealing with the exotic beasts. Even the Demonic Energy Large Boar and the Earthen Rock Demon, who possessed epic-quality combat ability, produced much poorer results than the first three.

-As expected, the strongest attacking attributes are ice and fire…- Zhang Che sighed inside. Seeing the flood of steel becoming fiercer and fiercer, Zhang Che grew worried that his babies might not be able to withstand it. He dashed ahead, the scarlet and white sword turned into a near-imperceptible blur and sweeping ahead.

The scarlet and white sword’s attack power was a tad above epic-quality. When used to deal with these exotic beasts, who were only dark gold-quality at the most, it truly was like a hot knife cutting through butter. None of them could withstand a single slash.

The phantom-like sword light swept past, and the charging exotic beasts fell like dominoes, then produced resplendent lights, one after another.

—

Watching large packs of exotic beasts falling one by one from hundreds of meters away, Zhao Wu and the others were awestruck by the sight of Zhang Che’s all-out assault. They had originally thought the power that Zhang Che had displayed on their way here was already very powerful. They didn’t expect him to be this terrifying when he went on a rampage. The waves of exotic beasts were like nothing to him!

They couldn’t help exchanging glances with one another, and noticed the shock in each other’s eyes, as well as a trace of joy.

If everything went well, they would be working under Zhang Che in the future. Having such a powerful master was truly a great joy in life!

Even moreso, although Zhang Che was already this powerful, he seemed very easy to get along with. Not a hint of the common cold attitude of those in high positions of power could be seen on him.

—

Zhang Che didn’t care what Zhao Wu and the others were thinking. Under the massacre of himself he and his babies, a small opening was forcibly wrenched open in the flood of steel formed by the exotic beasts ahead, and they quickly rushed toward that epic-quality exotic beast’s position.

Soon, the epic-quality exotic beast was within a hundred meters of Zhang Che. The beast’s attributes were instantly displayed before him.

“Si… so strong!” Zhang Che couldn’t resist sucking in a breath of cold air after seeing the Metal Tyrant’s attributes.

That fellow’s attributes could simply be described as monstrous!

If it wasn’t for the fact that this fellow was weak to innate fire elemental attacks, it was simply an invincible existence among epic-quality exotic beasts, especially with its control of the metal element. It truly would cause a huge headache to its enemies, who would not know how to deal with it.

Fortunately Zhang Che could directly see the exotic beast’s attributes with his data eyes ability. Otherwise, it truly would be hard to tell if he could successfully slay it if he encountered the Metal Tyrant out of the blue.

Not only that, Zhang Che might even fall to it if he was slightly careless!

-This guy’s False Domain is really scary. Luckily my scarlet and white sword has already turned into a sword light, or I might have lost control of it and lost all my attacking ability as a result.- Zhang Che thought, getting more cautious.

Only the elemental queen and the Scarlet Flame Drake could threaten that fellow. The rest of Zhang Che’s babies wouldn’t be able to do much from here on.

Zhang Che’s mind spun quickly, adjusting his attacking strategy. He had the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon and his other babies retreat, and fully concentrate on dealing with the wave of exotic beasts who still had them surrounded and were pushing forward.

Facing this Metal Tyrant, if one didn’t have fire-attributed attacks, it was impossible to do anything against it unless their physical attacks were at divine-quality. Remaining at the frontlines would very possibly lead to getting reverse-killed by the Metal Tyrant.

Zhao Wu and the others couldn’t help but be confused when they saw the situation from far away. The epic-quality exotic beast was clearly right ahead; why didn’t Zhang-shao order all his babies to rush at it and torment it to death with their advantage in numbers, and instead had most of his subdued beasts retreat?

Could it be that Zhang-shao thought this epic-quality exotic beast wasn’t very strong and didn’t need to have every subdued beast and pet take part in the fight?

Indeed, the way the powerful did things was different from others!
