Divine Beast Adventures

Zhang Che immediately furrowed his brow. He narrowed his eyes, staring at the spread of forest at the floating mountain range behind him for some time. Afterwards, he patted the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s back lightly, directing it to fly back.

The elemental queen seemed to have sensed the cold killing intent coming from Zhang Che. She immediately asked, anticipating, “Master, are we going back to silence that person?”

She understood the significance of this world to Zhang Che. If he could really control this world, to the extent of being able to enter and exit as he wished in the future, the benefits behind all this was too great.

How could he let others know such a shocking secret?

But, did Zhang Che have to silence that person just because they discovered his secret?

Countless thoughts flew through Zhang Che’s mind in an instant. In the end, a cold glint flashed in his eyes and he directly flew back on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon.

Putting the matter of killing that person or not aside for now, he needed to see what kind of a person the unlucky one was.

The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon was very fast; they returned to that floating mountain range almost instantly.

In order to prevent that person from escaping in another direction, Zhang Che asked the rainbow crystal to put up the barrier again, then rushed towards the forest in the distance.

There weren’t any signs of movement ahead.

“Strange. Does this floating mountain not have those annoying animals?” Zhang Che gradually grew suspicious.

He was sure he hadn’t let the rainbow crystal disable the restrictions in other areas.

Could it be that the massive floating mountain range with the rainbow crystal shard was the only area with restrictions, other than the barrier?

While searching for the beastmaster, Zhang Che summoned the frisky monkey out and had him sense whether there were spiritual herbs on this floating mountain range.

The frisky monkey sensed the spiritual herbs deep in the forest ahead instantly. He quickly told Zhang Che with an excited look, “Baba, there are spiritual herbs!”

He was confused. The mountain range from earlier was filled with spiritual herbs, but baba didn’t dig them all away with him. Could it be that baba wanted to snatch the spiritual herbs at other areas first and return there later?

The frisky monkey didn’t understand what Zhang Che was thinking.

Zhang Che’s expression changed slightly. He had the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon fly to where a spiritual herb was, then took out the herbal hoe and swung at the earth.

When he dug out the spiritual herb, along with a large piece of earth, Zhang Che’s mood immediately changed for the worse. He looked at the floating mountain ranges all around him and cried out miserably, “My spiritual herbs!”

A few hours had passed since Zhang Che first entered the secret plane. Since a beastmaster had entered this floating mountain range, surely many other beastmasters had also crossed the thousand kilometers and entered the secret plane.

If the other floating mountain ranges didn’t have restrictions, wouldn’t that mean the beastmasters were happily searching for spiritual herbs and had started digging already?

Naturally Zhang Che wouldn’t harbor the extravagant hope of the other beastmasters not finding any spiritual herbs on the floating mountain ranges. Although they didn’t have pets like the frisky monkey who could sense the fluctuations from spiritual herbs, the spiritual herbs on the floating mountain ranges were simply too great in number. One could come across an herb or two just by casually walking around!

Also, no other treasures had been found on the mountain ranges thus far. Everyone would surely shift their focus onto searching for spiritual herbs.

With that, as more and more beastmasters entered the secret plane, wouldn’t a large amount of spiritual herbs be dug away by them?

Zhang Che grew restless. In his heart, everything in the secret plane was now his personal property. How could he allow others to take them away?!

“This won’t do. I have to get the rainbow crystal to open the secret plane gateway right away, and kick everyone else out. I can’t let others take my things away!”

Zhang Che almost wanted to let the rainbow crystal try to see if it could control the opening and closing of the secret plane gateway and drive everyone else out. However, there was still an unresolved problem.

Although he could pass through the restriction on the edge of the floating mountain range, it didn’t mean others would realize the area was completely under his control. However, Zhang Che couldn’t afford to take such a risk.

Everyone else would be blocked by a barrier after entering the mountain range; why was he the only one to go through it easily and not be affected?

Zhang Che was sure if he had the rainbow crystal kick everyone out right now, including himself, his secret would be exposed to the whole world in less than an hour.

So, before he found that beastmaster from earlier, he mustn’t close the secret plane gateway!

Wanting to find that beastmaster in a quiet dense forest wasn’t something easy to do, either. Although this floating mountain range wasn’t very big, it was still several dozen kilometers wide. As long as that beastmaster hid themselves carefully, it really would be quite a task to find him.

However, this didn’t pose to be a problem for Zhang Che.

-Big boss, can you find that person from earlier? Also, can you confirm if there are other beastmasters in this floating mountain range?- Zhang Che asked the rainbow crystal inside.

In the next moment, an invisible wave flashed across the rainbow crystal.

Immediately, Zhang Che felt like his mind seemed to be connected to this floating mountain range. An aura completely different from the floating mountain range, located in a valley less than two kilometers away from him, was clearly shown to him.

Indeed, since the rainbow crystal had gained complete control over this world, how could it not find those who had invaded its territory?

A faint smile curled up at the corners of Zhang Che’s lips. He flew off towards that position on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon hastily.

In that valley, a dark-skinned man with a head full of messy curly hair was currently hiding in the dense forest. In the gaps between the trees, he saw the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon stop in the air for a moment before quickly flying in his direction,

“Damn, did that guy see me? What should I do? I was the only one here when I entered. According to the General, that yellow-skinned monkey is very powerful; I’m no match for him at all!”

A few large beads of sweat formed on his charcoal-black forehead, rolling down. However, this black brother didn’t show any other reaction. Seeing the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon arriving near the forest almost instantly, he held his breath nervously, not even daring to look directly in the dragon’s direction.

-May God bless me. He must be just passing here by coincidence. He didn’t discover me; he definitely didn’t discover me!- The black brother prayed in his heart, while at the same time regretting not waiting for the team behind him so they could enter the secret plane together.

If he waited until the team gathered and came in together, perhaps they would have a chance to take down this yellow-skinned monkey!

After all, in order to deal with this man in the secret plane, General Mihill had prepared a few special weapons for them. If they found a chance, they’d surely succeed in killing the man.

Alas, it was useless regretting now. The weapons were in the hands of the team leader. He wasn’t qualified to carry them with him.

“Come on out. No need to hide anymore; I’ve already seen you!” Zhang Che said in English, a faint mocking smile on his face as he looked into the forest. Even so, the black brother showed no reaction.

“Hehehehe, you think I’m trying to trick you?” Zhang Che shook his head. The scarlet and white sword light immediately shot out from his brow, streaking into the forest like a bolt of lightning and directly spun around above the black brother’s head, cutting down the top of the bushes he was using to conceal himself, revealing his inexplicably shocked face.

“Hey, brother, misunderstanding, misunderstanding!”

Left without a choice, the black brother could only raise his hands and stand up from the bush. He showed an awkward smile, faking confusion and saying, “Brother, I’m very poor. I don’t even have any legend-quality beast cards on me. Please let me go and don’t dirty your spiritual sword.”

-Act, you just keep acting!- Zhang Che maintained his smile, saying, “You saw everything earlier, didn’t you?”

“No, no, no, no!” The black brother shook his head violently. “I saw nothing, really! You have to believe me. I, Phil, am very honest. I didn’t see anything, and that’s the truth!” Phil pleaded. However, he was thinking inside, -This cursed yellow-skinned monkey! If I make it through this, I’ll definitely spread the matter of you being able to enter and leave the barriers freely and let those experts all go find trouble with you!-

However, this world was now completely under the rainbow crystal’s control. Unbeknownst to him, the hint of killing intent he emitted was clearly sensed by the rainbow crystal, and reflected to Zhang Che.

-Hmm, big boss means to get rid of this guy?- Zhang Che was slightly taken aback. The rainbow crystal was indeed powerful. It was actually able to sense the killing intent of others towards him through its control of the world?

Even so, Zhang Che didn’t directly kill off this black uncle. Instead, he summoned out the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly.

The Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly had become an extremely terrifying subdued beast. Upon activating its Enchant skill, non-high-tier beastmasters were sure to fall under its spell. It was that terrifying!

After the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly unleashed its Enchant skill, the black uncle’s eyes immediately became confused. He seemed to struggle for a moment, but it was completely useless. He immediately fell under the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly’s control.

“Speak. Who are you, and what evil have you committed?” Zhang Che asked, pressing the black uncle to spill all his information.

Although Zhang Che was going to kill this black uncle no matter if he had committed any evil, or what his character was like... if he was an evil man through and through, Zhang Che would feel better after killing him and not feel guilty.

At Zhang Che’s questioning, Phil soon explained his identity clearly. He also spoke about what important matters he had done in the past. In the end, he even talked about the mission he received on this journey into the secret plane.

As Zhang Che heard about this, his complexion changed slightly...
