In the end, Zhang Che didn’t dare let the Purple Jade Condor fly its fastest. Otherwise, there was a chance of him slipping and falling no matter how hard he was holding onto it.

Moreover, there was no shield on this biological airplane. Once the speed reached a certain limit, the strong wind wasn’t something Zhang Che could endure. Even breathing would become a problem.

After experimenting for a bit, Zhang Che discovered that he could barely take it if the Purple Jade Condor was flying at about five hundred kilometers per hour. If it went a little faster, the wind would become too strong for him to breathe properly.

{Editor’s Note: FYI, a normal human finds it very hard to breathe at 120 mph, and he’s going about 300 mph…}

Of course, this number wasn’t very accurate; Zhang Che had no way to calculate this on his own. His personal terminal had such a function, but it was unusable in the beast world.

The reason why Zhang Che could still barely breathe at such high speed was naturally because his body was altered by the demonic flower. No ordinary people would be able to withstand it.

“Five hundred kilometers per hour it is, then. This speed is already unthinkable, moving at over a hundred meters per second!”

Of course, Zhang Che didn’t dare to keep flying at such a high speed, either. After all, breathing was proving to be difficult. It was easy to hurt himself if he were under such stress for long periods of time. Unless it was an emergency, Zhang Che wouldn’t fly at such speeds normally.

“It’d be great if I could find myself a flying beast that provided wind cover. I could fly however fast I wanted then, without having to worry about breathing problems…” Zhang Che fantasized fondly.

However, he knew that a beast with such capability would be one of incredibly high level and quality. without saying. They would be really rare, too. Finding one would be entirely up to chance, and had to be when he had the capability to hunt an exotic beast of that caliber. Otherwise, looking would be all he could do.

Zhang Che thought of the flying tiger controlled by the demonic flower on the lone island. He had no idea what level and quality that exotic beast was. It was probably no weaker than the Purple Jade Condor, or even stronger.

Its terrifying speed and powerful offensive capabilities were especially noteworthy, leaving a strong impression on him.

Alas, nothing was perfect in this world. That flying tiger ended up being devoured by that demonic flower…

Of course, Zhang Che was only lamenting for a bit. Even if the gravely injured flying tiger wasn’t devoured by the demonic flower, his own mind was basically controlled by the demonic flower, and wouldn’t care about what was going on around him.

The Purple Flying Condor was flying in the sky, maintaining a speed of over a hundred kilometers per hour. Meanwhile, Zhang Che narrowed his eyes, observing the situation below, looking out for any exotic beasts that he might need.

He had made up his mind that he had to get his hands on a powerful water-type beast on this trip, no matter what. That was his biggest weakness right now. If he didn’t compensate for it as soon as possible, perhaps he might suffer a huge loss in the future because of it.

Although he had a wide range of vision while sitting on the Purple Jade Condor’s back, Zhang Che realized that it was a little too difficult to find an exotic beast that satisfied his requirements.

Since he was looking for a water-type beast, it would surely be living in the water. How could he possibly find them when he was up high in the sky?

Zhang Che realized, to his dismay, that flying on the Purple Jade Condor’s back was only useful for travelling. If he wanted to search for exotic beasts or whatever, he still had to rely on his legs to do the job on the ground!

——

At this moment, he was already dozens of kilometers away from the lonely island from before, and was soaring over the depths of the swamp in the southeast of the beast world.

Looking down from the sky, this area was mostly covered in water, with lakes everywhere. There wouldn’t be any lack of water-type exotic beasts; obtaining a powerful water-type beast would only be a matter of time.

However, Zhang Che didn’t see any powerful water-type exotic beasts. Instead, what he found was a party of beastmasters being chased down by a group of exotic beasts, running in panic through this complicated swampland.

There were six people in this party, four men and two women, and about a dozen subdued beasts around them. The subdued beasts were holding back the attacks of a group of insect-like exotic beasts, while the beastmasters were running towards a hill.

These insect-like exotic beasts were obviously stronger than the subdued beasts of those beastmasters, and were moving very quickly in the muddy swampland. There was no way for the beastmasters to shake them off.

Zhang Che could tell the situation from the sky that their ending would be the same even if these people successfully ran up the hill, because this hill was surrounded by water; a dead end.

– Should I save them? – The thought flashed through Zhang Che’s mind. He decided to have the Purple Jade Condor fly down after thinking for a moment.

Since they were fellow humans, he decided to help out if he could.

After all, the group of water insects didn’t seem very strong, the Purple Jade Condor should be able to take care of them. Of course, if Zhang Che discovered that these insects were too much for him, he would just leave them alone.

Seeing the Purple Jade Condor’s sudden descent, the beastmasters’ faces turned desperate.

“We’re finished… We couldn’t even handle these damned insects, and now an obviously powerful flying beast is coming. We’re dead for sure!”

A female beastmaster in this party originally had a determined look on her face, but her complexion had turned ghostly pale at this moment, looking at the Purple Jade Condor flying towards them. Her eyes were almost devoid of any color.

Just as the female beastmaster was feeling absolute despair and helplessness, a young man at her side suddenly widened his eyes, shouting out excitedly, “Qiqi, look! There seems to be someone on it!”

The rest of them focused their gazes, and discovered that a young man was riding on that purple flying beast!

It wasn’t an exotic beast, but the subdued beast of a beastmaster!

Suddenly, the waning fire of hope in their hearts burned brighter, and they started commanding their subdued beasts to defend against the attacks of the group of insects to the best of their abilities.

At this moment, Zhang Che could see the attributes of these insects already. He discovered that they were only a bunch of three-star bronze-quality beasts, and let out a sigh of relief, before yelling at the group of people below, “Hold on, I’m coming to save you guys!”

“It really is a beastmaster! We’re saved!”

The beastmasters on the ground finally confirmed that the person riding on the purple flying beast had happened to pass by here and was here to save them. Every one of them nearly wept in happiness as they cheered out loud.

However, their situation had reached an extremely dangerous point.

As they were still in the swamps, the water insects had the field advantage and were swarming them. In only a few breaths’ time, about half of the subdued beasts were taken down, and the remaining subdued beasts were about to fall, too!

-I have to help them right now!-

Zhang Che’s eyes turned cold. There was no time to let the Purple Jade Condor put him down safely.

With a thought, a ray of golden light shot out from the middle of Zhang Che’s brow and turned into the ferocious-looking Swamp Crocodile King armor, covering his entire body. With several dozen meters still between him and the surface, Zhang Che aimed at a deep pond below and jumped off the condor.

Although he was jumping from several dozen meters high, Zhang Che had no worries that he might be in danger.

He had already used Hanxue to test the Swamp Crocodile King armor’s defensive capabilities previously. It was simply outstanding, not to mention that he was jumping into an obviously deeper body of water. There was nothing to worry after the water dissipated some of the impact.

Moreover, Zhang Che’s body was no longer comparable to that of a normal human’s after being altered by the demonic flower’s energy. The amount of force he could withstand was way higher than before, and he had the protection of the Swamp Crocodile King armor. There wouldn’t be any danger diving into the water from such a height.

However, the beastmasters’ faces changed at the sight of this. In their eyes, the sliver of hope that had born in their heart was just thoroughly extinguished.

“We’re done for… that person accidentally fell off…”
