Chapter 565 A Pool of Clear Water Two in One

The day went by very quickly. In the end, the two didn't find a suitable weapon-type exotic beast.

Of course, Zhang Che and Huang Tielan wouldn't be so silly as to only look for weapon-type exotic beasts. They didn't let any mid-tier exotic beasts they came across go.

Also, Huang Tielan no longer insisted on hunting exotic beasts by herself. After all, she was lacking a proper weapon to do so. Hunting exotic beasts by herself was too inefficient. Why waste the time?

In the end, although they used most of their time to search for a suitable weapon-type beast card, Huang Tielan killed a lot more mid-tier exotic beasts than the half a day of hunting they did yesterday.

It couldn't be helped. Zhang Che's babies were too efficient. They could easily capture even mid-tier exotic beasts alive, beat them half to death and let Huang Tielan strike at their weak points accurately to deal the final blow. Their efficiency was just too high.

This was still under the circumstances of them constantly hurrying on their way. Zhang Che's subdued beasts and pets couldn't get too far away from them to capture exotic beasts, or their efficiency would definitely be even higher than the last time they helped Huang Tielan.

With this, Zhang Che was no longer worried about Huang Tielan's advancement. Even if she wanted to train herself in actual fights, he could let his babies go capture large amounts of mid-tier exotic beasts, retaining most of their strength if they didn't hurt them. That would be enough to let Huang Tielan train her skills.

With that, the two could save a lot of time searching for exotic beasts. They would only need to keep killing the exotic beasts.

------

The day went by without any gains. On the third day of their trip into the beast world, Zhang Che and Huang Tielan woke up early again, and committed themselves to searching for a weapon-type beast card.

In any case, Zhang Che had resolved to help Huang Tielan find a suitable weapon, no matter how much time it took. Otherwise, he might not have such a good opportunity to do so in the future.

Also, although his main objective was to find a suitable weapon-type beast card, it wasn't like he was putting the other matters on hold.

On the one hand, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, as well as his other powerful subdued beasts and pets, would still capture the mid-tier exotic beasts nearby, providing Huang Tielan an endless source of experience, steadily increasing her strength and advancing towards Tier Five beastmaster.

On the other hand, the frisky monkey wasn't idling around, either. He was continuously searching for spiritual herbs nearby. He would ride on the Purple Jade Condor to harvest the herbs whenever he found something, adding to Zhang Che's inventory.

The only regrettable thing was that during the past two days in the beast world, the frisky monkey didn't discover any high-grade spiritual herbs. All he discovered were only ordinary goods, leaving the monkey a little dissatisfied.

He was looking forward to finding a super high-grade spiritual herb to increase his level and quality higher, allowing him to better help Zhang Che.

He could sense that his master seemed to be not as fond of him ever since he became bigger and uglier.

Since that was the case, he'd work hard to increase his strength and make his master daddy view him in an important light!

It was called making up with effort if your appearance was lacking!

Luckily Zhang Che didn't know about the frisky monkey's thoughts, or he'd plant his head into the ground.

That fellow had been ugly from the beginning, okay?

It was just that when he was smaller, the frisky monkey had a certain cuteness to him. Now, he was so purely ugly that no one could look him straight in the face. Above all else, him being ugly was indisputable.

As for the frisky monkey's strength… Zhang Che had never thought of relying on him. That fellow wasn't a pet known for his strength to begin with. Even if his strength increased to the limits of his potential, he would be far from comparable to the likes of the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon.

Speaking of which, what Zhang Che was looking forward to the most was the Umbra Wind God Leopard maturing. If he could find large amounts of wind or dark-attributed treasures and let that little fellow consume them, he'd be able to grow to his peak sooner… No, even if he only grew to divine-quality, Zhang Che would have nothing to be afraid of in the beast world. He would dare to go anywhere.

Regrettably, those kind of heavenly treasures belonging to rare attributes were something that one could only stumble upon by chance. How could he find them so easily?

As such, the Umbra Wind God Leopard's growth was a very slow and tedious process.

------

Day after day passed just like that. On the 8th January, Year 37 of the new age, Zhang Che and Huang Tielan had been in the beast world for a whole week.

During the past week, although they had hunted several unique exotic beasts and obtained a few decent beast card weapons, none of them were swords suitable for Huang Tielan.

Zhang Che was lamenting about this, wondering why his luck was this bad. Searching for something had become so difficult.

-Could it be that I have used up all my luck when I was destroying the Freemason headquarters and killing He Luotu, and is now slowly accumulating?

-Indeed, everything in this world depended on the word, fate. If there was no fate, it wouldn't be very useful no matter how hard you worked.-

\"Let's just forget about this, Zhang Xiaoche. It's already been a week and yet we still haven't found a suitable weapon-type beast card. I suppose fate matters if we want to find something suitable.\"

Huang Tielan had completely given up hope. To begin with, wanting to find a suitable weapon-type beast card was already a very difficult thing to do, not to mention Zhang Che had imposed high standards on the finding. How could it be easy to find what they wanted?

Many beastmasters didn't get to hunt an exotic beast that was suitable for them personally for years, or even decades, rarely obtaining a beast card weapon they were satisfied with. How could they find something they wanted in just days?

Many beastmasters, including some high-tier beastmasters, were actually using metal alloy weapons.

Moreover, as technology using materials found in the beast world advanced, actually many high-grade composite material weapons were very satisfactory in terms of attack power.

At that thought, Huang Tielan continued, \"Why don't we go make a custom order of a composite material sword when we return and leave it at that?\"

-Composite material long sword?- Zhang Che immediately shook his head. -What a joke! I'm the child of destiny. How can I let the people at my side use that kind of ordinary stuff?-

Although composite swords were very good in terms of attack power, they were only dead objects when all was said and done. Other than its satisfactory sharpness, it had no other functions.

Some good beast card weapons not only had shocking attack power, they even had skills and unique attributes. The help they provided beastmasters was far above that of those weapons made from composite materials.

Take Zhang Che's Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword, for example. Every single one of its attributes were far better than most composite swords!

Unfortunately Huang Tielan wasn't suited to use such a huge weapon. Otherwise, Zhang Che wouldn't have had to do anything for the past week and could have solely focused on helping her advance to Tier Five beastmaster as soon as possible. Naturally she'd have a powerful weapon at that time!

Regrettably, Huang Tielan was a woman, and the sword skills she had learned weren't suitable for such a huge weapon. As such, Zhang Che could only keep the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword for himself.

A girl using a sword as big as a door... Just thinking about it would turn people away. Huang Tielan probably didn't have the courage to use such a beast card weapon.

Zhang Che wasn't discouraged. Instead, he consoled Huang Tielan, \"How can those composite weapons measure up to our status? Don't worry, we'll keep looking for another few days. We'll find a suitable beast card sword for sure.

\"If we can't find it in a week, then we'll spend two weeks looking for it. If two weeks aren't enough, then I'll spend one whole month in the beast world doing so. I don't believe we can't find one!\"

Zhang Che was determined. He wouldn't rest until he achieved his goal!

\"Alright, then. Whatever you say!\"

Huang Tielan felt a warmth in her heart when she saw the determination of Zhang Che. She smiled brightly, then suddenly waved at Zhang Che and said, \"Zhang Xiaoche, come ride on the Dark Unicorn with me. That way, your Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon can work together with the Gluttony Monkey to find more spiritual herbs. Even if we can't find a suitable beast card sword in the end, we can't miss the spiritual herbs. The herbal field needs large amounts of spiritual herbs to fill it up. It's too difficult to purchase them from the market. Many people are either unwilling to sell them, or they'll purposely raise their price. It's not worth it.\"

-Ah, there's actually such a benefit!-

Zhang Che's eyes lit up. He jumped off the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon's back without hesitation and quickly mounted the Dark Unicorn's back.

During the past week, they each rode their respective mounts. Zhang Che had never had such a great opportunity. During the nights, Huang Tielan slept in her own sleeping bags, too, not giving him any chance to take a step further in their relationship. Such chances were too rare.

Very naturally, after mounting onto the Dark Unicorn's back, Zhang Che spread his arms and hugged Huang Tielan, making her blush slightly, but she didn't object to his actions.

Perhaps Zhang Che's luck meter had charged up to maximum!

------

When it was nearing evening, they finally obtained something noteworthy.

\"Come, there's a ravine over there, with water flowing out. Let's go try out luck there. Perhaps we'll find some unique exotic beasts.\"

Looking at the deep ravine to their front and left, there was a stream of water flowing out. Zhang Che's eyes immediately lit up, and told Huang TIelan to direct her Dark Unicorn to fly over there.

Weapon-type beast cards were rare objects, and those types of exotic beasts were usually different from ordinary exotic beasts. As such, if they wanted to find a suitable beast card as soon as possible, they needed to hunt some unique exotic beasts.

Zhang Che felt it was more likely for those kinds of unusual exotic beasts to be born in this kind of strange terrain.

However, they didn't know if the inside of the ravine would be dangerous. Zhang Che didn't dare to be careless. When the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon came back from the nearby woods with a few mid-tier exotic beasts in tow, Zhang Che ordered him to stay back and go scout ahead.

That fellow was extraordinarily fast, and had an undying body of abyssal cold. His life wouldn't be threatened even if he ran into danger. Letting him scout out the situation was the best option.

As for the mid-tier exotic beasts the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon left behind, naturally they became Huang Tielan's training partners. With some short work, all of them fell to her sword, not even leaving beast cards behind.

Even so, Zhang Che grew excited instead when he saw none of the four mid-tier bronze-quality and above exotic beasts dropped a single beast card.

What did that signify? It showed that the two of them were accumulating their luck! When they accumulated enough luck, it'd become easier for them to find a suitable beast card sword later!

The two waited outside the ravine for a short while. The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon soon returned, informing Zhang Che that there wasn't any danger inside. There weren't any traces of exotic beasts inside the ravine other than a stream of clear jade-green water, together with a pond so deep its bottom couldn't be seen.

Of course, it was possible that the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon's aura was too powerful and had frightened the exotic beasts inside, leaving them not daring to move and ended up not being found by the dragon.

However, this also proved that it was very safe inside the ravine.

\"Come, let's go in!\" Zhang Che said, holding Huang Tielan's slim waist tightly, signalling her to order the Dark Unicorn to enter.

\"Mmm…\" Huang Tielan let out a low grunt from her nose when she was hugged tightly. She felt her whole body turning weak, nearly turning into jelly and falling. She struggled to twist her body, then said softly, \"Zhang Xiaoche, you idiot. You're pressing against me…\"

Zhang Che finally realized he had unknowingly held Huang TIelan fully in his embrace. Her soft and fragrant body had naturally stirred up a reaction from him.

At that thought, Zhang Che felt a terrible itch in his heart. He suddenly rested his head on Huang Tielan's shoulder and whispered, \"Can we sleep in one sleeping bag tonight? The nights are too boring. Let's have some pillow talk…\"

\"Tch, you only think about that. We'll talk after you find me a suitable beast card sword…\" Huang Tielan quipped, her face blushing bright red. She wriggled herself free, not letting Zhang Che press against her any longer, before ordering the Dark Unicorn to fly into the ravine ahead.

------

They entered the ravine, following the stream of clear water. It was like the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon had scouted. There really wasn't a single exotic beast inside the ravine.

It went without saying this situation was very unusual.

The inside of the ravine wasn't small, and it had a water source. Logically speaking, there would be some weak exotic beasts present, even if there weren't any stronger ones around.

At the very least, it would only make sense for large amounts of exotic beasts to come drink water here.

However, looking around them, there wasn't a single exotic beast to be seen throughout this deep ravine. This was truly very unusual.

Even so, Zhang Che didn't show any signs of disappointment. On the contrary, his face lit up with excitement.

Something must be off!

The situation in the ravine proved that there must be a type of unique exotic beast around, and its attack power was extremely high. As a result, no other exotic beasts dared to come here, making this ravine seem very quiet.

That unusual exotic beast was obviously not too strong, either. Otherwise, they would have been attacked the moment they entered the ravine.

\"Very good. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint me. We spent a whole week searching; I don't believe my luck has yet to charge to full.\"

Zhang Che released his arms from Huang Tielan and jumped off the Dark Unicorn's back. He slowly walked on some steep rocks in the ravine, observing the situation around him, hoping to discover something.

However, there was no other sound except the faint noise from the flowing water.

\"You wait here first. I'll go check things out ahead. Be careful.\" Zhang Che turned around and instructed Huang Tielan. He beckoned the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon over and directly flew upstream.

Earlier, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon had indicated clearly that there was a jade-green pond whose bottom couldn't be seen at the end of the stream. Perhaps what he was finding was hiding inside.

The dragon only came to scout briefly and didn't enter the pond to take a closer look. Perhaps he would have gotten something otherwise.

However, Zhang Che didn't feel assured letting that fellow act on his own. It would be ugly if he accidentally killed the exotic beast after spotting it.

After all, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon was a pet, not a subdued beast. When he killed exotic beasts, it didn't yield any beast cards.

Zhang Che would probably be filled with regret if there was really a unique exotic beast here and it was ultimately killed by the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon by accident!
