The chase went on for another ten-plus minutes. Finally, the Dark Unicorn ahead was completely exhausted and could no longer maintain its super speed up.

“Let’s see if you can still escape now!” Zhang Che laughed. He ordered the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon to directly rush forth. At the same time, the scarlet and white sword shot out from his brow, circling around him, ready to cut down the Dark Unicorn at any time.

“Congratulations, Master! You’ve gained another powerful subdued beast!” the elemental queen said sweetly from behind Zhang Che. Of course she was able to tell that the Dark Unicorn was a top-tier creature among legend-quality exotic beasts, especially in regards to its defense and flight. It wasn’t a small addition, even for Zhang Che.

Of course, Zhang Che didn’t tell her that he didn’t intend on using the Dark Unicorn for himself after killing it, and would be gifting it to Huang Tielan instead.

Sensing the imminent arrival of a grave danger, the Dark Unicorn cried out in grief and indignation. It finally stopped its meaningless attempt in escaping and turned around, aiming at Zhang Che and shot out a dark ray.

It went without saying that the ray was its skill, Dark Energy Corrosion!

Although Zhang Che didn’t really care about the attack from a legend-quality exotic beast, he didn’t want to get hit by this kind of strange skill. As such, he directly ordered the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon to raise his head, blocking that dark ray for Zhang Che..

In any case, that ray would only lower his overall attributes. The actual destructive power of that skill wasn’t very strong. Given the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s strength, he shouldn’t be affected too harshly, right?

As he had expected, after the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon was struck by the Dark Energy Corrosion ray, no wounds appeared on his body, but his flight speed suddenly fell by a fraction.

Of course, at the same time, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s defense, attack power and other attributes were also lowered by about a third. His strength was greatly affected.

The scale of the battle would surely tip to the other side if the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon was fighting an exotic beast of similar strength after being struck by that.

However, the Dark Unicorn was only an exotic beast at mid-tier legend-quality. Even if the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s overall strength was reduced by a third, taking care of it was no problem for him at all.

Well, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon wouldn’t do a thing, and neither would the elemental queen. Those two were both pets; Zhang Che didn’t want to waste such an excellent beast card. Naturally he had to kill the beast himself.

Despite the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s attributes falling by a third, they still caught up to the Dark Unicorn very quickly. The Dark Unicorn knew it was already facing its final moments. It let out another sorrowful cry and lowered its head, pointing its sharp horn shining with dark light straight at them and charged forward.

“What a fierce temper!” Zhang Che sighed. The scarlet and white sword circling around him suddenly streaked across the air, passing through the Dark Unicorn’s neck; it couldn’t dodge in time at all.

Fresh blood spattered everywhere. A black horse’s head with a single horn flew out. While the head was still in the air, it turned into a five-colored light along with the headless corpse behind it, and quickly condensed into a five-colored card with four hexagrams on it.

Although this was a very excellent legend-quality exotic beast, it wasn’t difficult for Zhang Che to kill it at all as long as he caught up to it, given his current strength. After all, his own strength was comparable to a powerful epic-quality exotic beast. Killing a legend-quality exotic beast was truly no trouble for him at all.

The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon quickly flew over. Zhang Che reached his hand out and caught the falling card. With a glance at the card with his data eyes, a faint, happy smile appeared on his face.

Unsurprisingly, the Dark Unicorn was an Original Combat Body-type beast card. With that, he could gift the card to Miss Tienan and boost her strength considerably. In the future, she could escape if she was ever in any danger, even if she couldn’t win.

To be clear, the Dark Unicorn’s flight speed was higher than Mach 1. Very few ordinary flying beasts could reach such a speed, unless they were at epic-quality.

Afterwards, all that was left was to help Huang Tielan advance to Tier Four beastmaster as soon as possible!

Of course, it couldn’t be done on this trip. Zhang Che didn’t want her to find out he was following her in secret. He could only wait until the Bei Du University’s activity was over and find a more suitable place to help Miss Tienan advance to Tier Four.

“Now, it’s time for proper business!” Zhang Che sighed contently. He finally remembered what he was here for. Still flying on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, he directly broke through the fog in the skies above the ravine, ascending back to the skies.

The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon was still affected by the Dark Unicorn’s skill. His flight speed was a third lower than usual, but that didn’t affect what Zhang Che was going to do next.

In any case, he was mainly relying on the Purple Jade Condor to scout the situation below. It wouldn’t affect him in the slightest, even if the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon was flying a little slower.

Also, after what had just happened, Zhang Che was very satisfied with the Purple Jade Condor’s scouting ability. It had even managed to find the Dark Unicorn hiding behind the fog in the ravine. What other exotic beasts could possibly hide from it, unless it was some lazy fellow who couldn’t even be bothered to move?

However, the truly powerful exotic beasts wouldn’t sit still and do nothing if the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon and the Purple Jade Condor flew past. They would definitely be found by the condor, no matter what!

Time slowly passed. The sky suddenly turned dark. Another day had gone by.

Zhang Che slew a few dark gold and legend-quality exotic beasts throughout the day, and roughly cleared the area. There wasn’t anything too dangerous here anymore. Even if he missed some of them, it wouldn’t affect the trip too much.

The Bei Du University and the military would also arrange for sufficient men to patrol and protect the students. The students’ safety wouldn’t be compromised as long as it wasn’t some overly powerful exotic beast.

The next day, Zhang Che continued circling in the skies. At noon, he saw a huge group of people approaching from the north. It was the freshmen coming into this area to train themselves under the arrangements of the university.

Zhang Che flew off on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon with the elemental queen and found a place to rest. He kept the Purple Jade Condor flying ten thousand meters in the air. After finding where Huang Tielan was, the condor kept flying above her, monitoring the situation below.

On the mountain ridge a few kilometers away, three middle-aged men were also looking coldly at the huge group of students from Bei Du University travelling in their direction.

After watching for a short while in silence, the man in the middle with a wide forehead whispered, “Our target has entered the area. Pass the instructions down to have everyone get ready. When the Bei Du University students have split up completely, start moving as per the plan. No failures are allowed; we have to kill all the demon spies hiding among humanity!”

“Yes, Branch Chief!” the other two responded respectfully. Afterwards, they left the mountain ridge silently, going off in separate directions to notify the other groups.

Within Bei Du University’s huge group, all the students were looking around curiously. It wasn’t the first visit into the beast world for many of them, but it was their first time taking part in this kind of organized activity. It was a novel experience for them.

At the very least, it was much warmer inside here compared to Bei Du. They couldn’t feel the slightest chill, making everyone feel relaxed. Moreover, the air in the beast world was fresh. Everyone was almost treating the activity as a vacation.

Wasn’t that true? According to the school, there weren’t any exotic beasts that were too strong here. It wouldn’t be dangerous as long as they acted a little more careful and did not run about casually.

Perhaps they might even get to kill some exotic beasts and obtain some beast cards they fancied, maybe even finding spiritual herbs and other materials!

As the talented students of the university, even those who were not studying beast card cultivation would learn about many ingredients in the beast world during their lessons. Everyone felt they would be smiled upon by the goddess of luck and obtain huge harvests on this trip.

Huang Tielan was also very excited, chatting with the students around her and looking around curiously. Being the most talented student among them, her understanding of the various ingredients from the beast world wasn’t inferior to some of the teachers at all. Just by looking around, she discovered a few kinds of ingredients. However, their value was limited and didn’t draw her interest at all.

“But, I’ll definitely find some decent ingredients. Maybe even spiritual herbs!”

Huang Tielan naturally knew about her family’s herbal research institute being relocated to the south. At the same time, she also knew that Zhang Che would harvest a huge number of spiritual herbs every time he entered the beast world. Her understanding of spiritual herbs wasn’t any lower than Zhang Che; surely she’d have some decent gains…

Of course, Miss Tienan didn’t know that Zhang Che was actually a cheater. In fact, he didn’t know many spiritual herbs. It was all thanks to the frisky monkey that he returned with rich harvests. Otherwise, given Zhang Che’s knowledge, he’d have to burn incense to thank the gods if he could obtain a single spiritual herb with his own abilities for every three times he entered the beast worlds…
