After looking at the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly’s new attributes, Zhang Che’s lips curled up slightly into a faint smile.

It stated In its characteristics that its powder could now confuse those affected, indicating a qualitative upgrade from before.

As for its weakness, it changed from being vulnerable to fire-attribute attacks to being vulnerable to fire elemental attacks. This meant that unless it was an elemental attack from a fire-attributed beast, ordinary flames could barely hurt the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly.

It was regrettable, however, that this fellow actually didn’t awaken an innate attribute after advancing to silver-quality. Otherwise, its strength would be even greater!

Although it was a pity, Zhang Che was satisfied with what he got. According to the potential of the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly, this fellow could rise to dark gold quality in the end.

Also, Zhang Che had two four-star black iron-quality Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly cards in his possession. When the Fusion skill rose to level three and his beastmaster tier rose to Tier Five, he could immediately start raising the five-star butterfly.

Mmm, a five-star dark gold-quality subdued beast, born with a crowd control attack. It would surely be extremely useful! Zhang Che couldn’t help but envision the future.

“Zhizhi!”

Just as Zhang Che was imagining things in the tent while lying down, the Gluttony Monkey suddenly cried out, warning him of a relatively strong exotic beast breaching the perimeter.

Zhang Che hurriedly crawled out of the tent and looked at the sky. A huge flying beast, resembling a golden pheasant with a wingspan over ten meters wide, its body adorned with tri-colored feathers, was circling in the sky, tangling with the Purple Jade Condor.

Although they were too far apart and Zhang Che was unable to see the attributes of this exotic beast, judging from the Purple Jade Condor’s wariness, the level and quality of this beast was certainly not low.

The Gluttony Monkey was holding the Falling Star Model X nervously, a M-type armor-piercing arrow nocked to the bow, ready to fire at any moment.

“Gugu, gugu!”

After circling a few rounds, the golden pheasant-like beast suddenly made a few strange cries at the Purple Jade Condor. It beat its wings violently and flew back to the mountain range.

This fellow probably realized that it wasn’t strong enough to defeat the Purple Jade Condor, and gave up at the crucial moment, leaving the area on its own.

“What a pity. Why didn’t you man up? I might have gotten another flying-type beast card!” Zhang Che shook his head in regret. He retrieved a water bag and poured himself some water, freshening up.

——

After a simple breakfast, Zhang Che looked deeper into the mountain range. He gathered his beasts and set off slowly.

Zhang Che had covered around a hundred kilometers of ground in the past few days, moving along the edge of the mountain range. He had killed close to a hundred exotic beasts, and obtained around thirty beast cards.

It was probably due to being at the outskirts of the mountain range, but Zhang Che didn’t get any beast cards that were four-stars or higher. It wasn’t worth mentioning their quality, either. Only three of them were silver quality, while the rest were either bronze, or even black iron quality.

Even so, the total value of these beast cards was enough to shock others.

“A three-star gold-quality card is estimated to be worth a few million dollars. What about mid-tier, or even high-tier cards of high quality? It should be worth hundreds of million, billions, tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions, right?”

Zhang Che was doubtful of this. Would transactions between high-tier beastmasters still be conducted with Alliance dollars as the currency?

After all, money would have lost all meaning to those experts. Who would be willing to sell their hard-earned high-tier beast cards, just like that?

Perhaps, their transactions would be based on barter?

Even so, barter trade would be very troublesome. There would be no value to base their value on, and differences in views between people would occur very easily. You might think your object was worth more, but I might also be of the opinion that my object was worth more. There would be too much argument about it.

“I’m really thinking too much. These things will make themselves clear in the future. Why am I thinking so much about it now?” Zhang Che shook his head in self-mockery. It was hard for him to even figure out the value of a four-star gold-quality beast, and yet he was thinking about the value of high-tier beast cards. He must have had nothing better to do!

It was unlikely that he’d find better loot at the edge of the mountain range. Zhang Che wanted to enter deeper into the mountains to take a look, but he wouldn’t be so reckless as to rush in mindlessly. That was no different than looking for death.

Therefore, he decided to climb up a mountain at the outskirts of the mountain range to get a better look at the terrain further in, and let the Purple Jade Condor scout ahead before deciding whether to enter.

If it was too dangerous ahead, naturally Zhang Che wouldn’t risk his life needlessly.

After making some comparisons, Zhang Che decided on the relatively taller mountain to his left.

The Purple Jade Condor soared to the skies, and quickly circled around the mountain he set his eyes on. After making sure that there weren’t any powerful beasts on it, Zhang Che climbed up the mountain with his beasts.

When he reached the summit, his range of vision suddenly grew much wider.

There were countless mountains in the distance, half hidden in the clouds, extending into the distance as far as he could see.

Then he looked backwards. The hilly area where the Purple Jade Condor wiped out the Tian Yin Squad was fully visible to him.

“As the ancestors said, ‘Climbing to a high position broadens one’s perspective’. They truly weren’t wrong!”

After taking in the majestic view before him, the Purple Jade Condor beat its wings and flew further into the mountain range under Zhang Che’s orders.

However, before the Purple Jade Condor flew half a kilometer away, it suddenly changed direction and flew back to Zhang Che at a low altitude, its body nearly touching the ground.

What happened?

Zhang Che blinked a few times in confusion, before his complexion suddenly changed greatly.

-To be able to terrify the Purple Jade Condor into turning tail immediately, exactly what powerful beast appeared ahead?-

Just as Zhang Che concealed himself reflexively and ordered the Purple Jade Condor to fly in another direction to prevent drawing the powerful beast to himself, he saw a huge, flood dragon-like figure flying within the clouds about a kilometer away.

“What the heck, it’s actually a flood dragon-like exotic beast! How frighteningly high level or quality of a beast must it be?”

Despite the thousand-meter gap between them, Zhang Che still felt a heavy pressure from that exotic beast weighing on him. Well, that was nonsense. It was only the natural fear born from facing a powerful creature as a weak, puny being.

The flood dragon-like beast seemed to be heading somewhere urgently, and didn’t notice Zhang Che. Its body was shrouded by a layer of blurry clouds, and it flew deeper into the mountain range, disappearing into the distance in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Che released his fear with a long sigh. Just as he was about to stand up from his hiding spot, he suddenly noticed from his peripheral vision that another golden figure had appeared among the clouds, chasing in the flood dragon-like beast’s direction.

It was an enormous bird, its feather shiny golden, and its wingspan definitely exceeding a hundred meters. Golden snakes of lightning were flashing around its feathers, exuding a divine might!

It seemed to have sensed Zhang Che’s gaze on it despite the distance between them. The divine bird suddenly turned its head and glanced towards him.

Zhang Che’s entire body froze, his legs gave way and fell to the ground.
