It went without saying that Zhang Che didn’t know Huang Tielan had officially passed her test, and had become the youngest intermediate beast card cultivator in history, raising a rather large commotion at Bei Du University.

It wasn’t too much to say that Huang Tielan was now the most famous figure of the student body in Bei Du University. Her fame was even higher than those mid-tier beastmasters studying in the beast card cultivation major!

After all, young beastmasters were common, but such a young beast card cultivator was a first, even looking at all of Hua Xia! Huang Tielan wasn’t even nineteen yet, and had become an intermediate beast card cultivator!

Of course, Zhang Che wouldn’t find it strange even if he knew about it. After all, Miss Tienan had his help, which was as good as a cheat, and had conducted many practical sessions during a short period of time, in addition to her outstanding talent. Her smooth promotion to an intermediate beast card cultivator wasn’t too shocking if you knew about all that.

At present, Zhang Che was finishing up the elimination of mid-tier and higher exotic beasts of the area.

Although they were split into four teams, Zhang Che’s luck was not bad. They didn’t encounter any overly powerful exotic beasts, and not even a single legend-quality exotic beast.

Since the four teams each had epic-quality level combat ability, it simply couldn’t be any easier. They easily swept through hundreds of square kilometers in the area.

Zhang Che could faintly sense that he only needed to clean up about eight more of such areas and he’d probably advance to Tier Seven beastmaster.

According to his past record of spending about three days in an area, it meant that he would need a month at most to break through to high-tier beastmaster and gain a huge boost to his strength.

More importantly, after becoming a high-tier beastmaster, he could practice what was only limited to high-tier beastmasters: using soul force to temper their bodies!

Zhang Che was very much anticipating that!

His physique had already reached a superhuman level. If he practiced the soul force body tempering method too, in addition to equipping the Berserker Bear card, he’d probably be able to withstand the attacks of mid-tier dark gold-quality and below exotic beasts without wearing beast card armor!

The revolution was about to succeed. Continue working hard, comrade!

After fantasizing for a while, Zhang Che reunited with the other teams. He recalled the subdued beasts and pets with the exception of the elemental queen and frisky monkey, then flew around on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon and began his search for spiritual herbs.

Although the frisky monkey was a glutton, he was very meticulous when it came to searching for spiritual herbs. After all, he also wanted to grow stronger!

After activating his skill, the frisky monkey focused on sensing for a short while. Suddenly, he pointed in a direction excitedly and cried out loudly at Zhang Che, “Baba, baba, that way, that way!”

Seeing the frisky monkey acting so excited, Zhang Che raised his eyebrow and asked just as excitedly, “Is the spiritual force reaction very strong over there? How is its grade? Is it high enough?”

The frisky monkey kept nodding and blinking, so excited that he couldn’t speak a word.

After all, his ability to speak was still rather weak. He needed to expend quite a bit of effort just to say a few simple words. Now that he was so excited, he didn’t know how to start talking. But, that wasn’t important!

Seeing him acting like that, Zhang Che knew they must have discovered a high-grade spiritual herb, potent enough to let the frisky monkey breakthrough!

“Go, go, let’s get going!

Zhang Che immediately had the frisky monkey pointed them in the right direction, then patted the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon underneath him. The dragon proceeded to turn into a streak of deep blue light, quickly speeding off in the indicated direction!

The spiritual herb wasn’t very far away. The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon flew less than three thousand meters before stopping. They didn’t need the frisky monkey to pinpoint its exact location, either. Zhang Che could already sense a faint spiritual fluctuation from the valley’s complicated terrain ahead.

He had to admit, the Halo attribute the frisky monkey awakened after advancing to dark gold-quality was rather useful. At the very least, Zhang Che could use its ability to find the spiritual herb on his own when they were close, not having to keep relying on the frisky monkey.

-Such a strong spiritual reaction! It feels even stronger than when we discovered the huge ginseng the last time. This is definitely enough to let the frisky monkey break through a star tier directly!- Zhang Che immediately grew excited when he sensed the extremely faint, yet strong spiritual fluctuation.

However, he quickly grew wary. If such a potent spiritual herb was still growing nicely in the valley, it went without saying that a powerful exotic beast must be guarding it!

After all, the stronger an exotic beast was, the more aware of spiritual force they were. Any legend-quality and higher exotic beast would be able to easily sense the spiritual reaction at this level, for instance.

“But I seem to recall passing by this area when I was hunting exotic beasts… I didn’t discover any signs of a powerful exotic beast here..?” Zhang Che was confused.

If a powerful exotic beast was really guarding the spiritual herb, it didn’t make sense that the nearby mid-tier and higher exotic beasts would be so leisurely in this area. Also, when Zhang Che was hunting exotic beasts, the commotion he caused was certainly not small. It was impossible for the exotic beast inside not be alerted.

-Could it be that the spiritual herb is nearing maturity, and that powerful exotic beast didn’t want to stir up trouble for no reason, thus staying in the valley, and not intending to come out?-

“That’s possible… It’s better to be careful!” Zhang Che nodded slowly as he made sense of it. He didn’t rush into the valley recklessly. Instead, he summoned the Purple Jade Condor out and had it fly above the valley to scout things out first.

If the exotic beast inside was too powerful, Zhang Che would have no choice but to give up on that spiritual herb and look for alternatives. After all, no matter how good a spiritual herb was, he had to be alive to enjoy its benefits.

However, when the Purple Jade Condor flew over the valley, it was unable to confirm the situation below at all. A thin layer of fog hung above the valley, in addition to the rich vegetation, shrouding the valley in mystery. The Purple Jade Condor had no way to see the situation inside from above.

“Looks like I have to make a trip inside…” Shaking his head, Zhang Che equipped the Purple-Gold Demonic Armored Worm armor, and recalled the frisky monkey. He flew on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s back together with the elemental queen, and they carefully made their way into the mountain woods.

With the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon around, Zhang Che was confident he could turn around and successfully escape if they encountered any danger.

As they slowly entered the valley, Zhang Che couldn’t help feeling suspicious. They were already inside the valley; why wasn’t there any commotion? Not only that, he didn’t sense any dangerous auras around, either.

Zhang Che felt a little uncomfortable about that. This made him feel unusually wary, not daring to be careless in the slightest bit.

Suddenly, Zhang Che’s eyes narrowed and he looked to his front left. The vegetation there was a little sparse. An exotic beast’s pale white skeleton lay scattered on the bare ground, as if its flesh and blood were peeled away.

“Like I said, there’s a powerful exotic beast here… no, wait…” Zhang Che’s face changed slightly, an indistinguishable glint flashed across his eyes. If that exotic beast was really killed by the powerful beast here, why was such a neat skeleton left behind? Not a single scar could be seen on the ghostly white skeleton!

This was too abnormal!

“Master, watch out!”

Just as Zhang Che’s suspicions rose in his heart, he heard the elemental queen crying out from behind him, followed by a rustling noise.

Looking in the direction the sound originated from, Zhang Che was immediately shocked. In the valley ahead, countless vines were closely packed together, swimming towards him as nimbly as snakes and as swift as lightning, bringing with them cold killing intent that sent chills through his heart.

“This… is that a different species of the demonic flower?”

Zhang Che’s heart nearly leapt out from his chest. He had a rough idea of the demonic flower’s strength. However, these vines were obviously different from the demonic flower. If it was a stronger variety, it wouldn’t be easy to deal with…
