Zhang Che naturally had no idea that the test from before wasn’t Huang Juyun’s idea, but his adjutant, Song Yuanhang, acting on his own.

He was worried that there might be more tricks waiting for him. Although it was unlikely to be malicious, he didn’t wish to reveal his hidden trumps.

Therefore, he only summoned the Wind Shadow Wolf to scout the way, while he wore the Maneater Leech King soft armor, and wielded the Mutated Puffersword. He didn’t dare to summon Hanxue to use as transportation, either, and kept heading southeast into the beast world with quick steps.

The reason why he didn’t summon the Fiery Scorpion and the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly was because he was worried that he might run into the Ding Feng Corporation’s men.

Zhang Yujie and the others had seen them by Zhang Che’s side when he was in the Sun Che persona.

If they were to see him with such a similar party of subdued beasts, wouldn’t they suspect his identity right away?

It was no problem if it was only the Wind Shadow Wolf. After all, within the Qian Wei City, there might not be that many bronze-quality beasts of a certain species, but their numbers were definitely not low. Naturally the Ding Feng Corporation wouldn’t be suspicious of it… and others couldn’t easily tell that Zhang Che’s Wind Shadow Wolf was in fact silver-quality.

Zhang Che was considering not using these low-tier silver-quality beasts, with the exception of the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly from now on, to save the trouble of exposing his identity.

As for the Fiery Scorpion that was a gift from Huang Tielan and held a special meaning to him, he could just keep it as a memento. He didn’t necessarily have to have it occupy a slot in his spiritual sea.

“Mmm, since I’ll be displaying my skills as a Tier Three beastmaster when I return from this trip, I should take this chance to find a few high quality three-star beasts, and let these two ‘senior figures’ retire.”

The pitiful Wind Shadow Wolf, and the Fiery Scorpion, which was currently laying quietly in Zhang Che’s spiritual sea, had no idea that their time was about to pass. They were destined to lay peacefully in their master’s collection cabinet, never to see the light again.

The southeast beast world was much lower than the other directions. This area was filled with rivers and swamps, and occupied by various complicated exotic beast species. Very few low-tier beastmasters would choose to explore in this area.

The reason why Zhang Che chose this direction was because the terrain was flatter, allowing him to shake any men sent by Huang Tielan’s father, and because various high-quality beasts that might appear here.

From what he knew, silver-quality or higher beasts were more abundant in the swamps in the southeast. If his luck wasn’t too bad, half a month was more than enough time for him to obtain two or more three-star gold-quality beast cards.

As for the dangers, Zhang Che wasn’t really worried about them.

Since he had no plans of exploring too deep into the swamps, and he had the Purple Jade Condor, there shouldn’t be any problems in self-preservation or escaping.

It couldn’t be that the stronger beasts in this area could chase down the lightning-fast Purple Jade Condor, could they?

There didn’t seem to be any powerful flying-type beasts in this area, either.

After passing through a low, hilly area a few dozen kilometers away from the safety zone, the terrain ahead became increasingly flat, and rivers were more frequent.

After observing multiple times and confirming that there wasn’t anyone tailing him, nor any suspicious flying beasts in the sky, Zhang Che concluded that Huang Tielan’s father didn’t send anyone to follow him into the beast world.

To be on the safe side of things, Zhang Che was thinking of changing his appearance and summoning his strong beasts and pets, when he suddenly discovered a figure behind a low hill, running towards him from the bend in the river ahead.

The figure riding on the back of the Elephorse was very familiar, so much so that Zhang Che recognized him at first sight.

This person was none other than his lucky star- Ugh, no, it should be Wang Dong!

Zhang Che found this amazing. Why would he bump into this guy almost every time he entered the beast world?

-Mmm, it seems like my journey here was the right choice?-

Every time he bumped into Wang Dong, Zhang Che would have tremendous gains in the end. This guy had pretty much become his lucky star. It was hard to not make a fortune off of him; it truly left one helpless.

Looking into the distance, Wang Dong seemed really excited, with an uncontrollable smile showing on his face.

-Hmm? This guy is actually not in danger this time? Not only that, he seems to have discovered something good ahead!-

According to Zhang Che’s understanding of this guy, he must have come here to search for high-quality exotic beasts, in order to sell the information for a good price. In that case, could it be that some extraordinary exotic beast had appeared in the direction he came from?

Zhang Che’s eyes narrowed slightly. Wasn’t his purpose here exactly to look for high quality exotic beasts? He came to just the right place!

Since Zhang Che noticed Wang Dong, the opposite party had naturally noticed him as well.

The Elephorse galloped, and soon closed the distance between them and Zhang Che. Stopping in its tracks, Wang Dong looked at Zhang Che doubtfully, reminding him kindly, “Little Bro, you can’t continue forward from here. It’s too dangerous- Eh? I seem to have seen you somewhere before? Right, I bought my Maneater Leech armor from you the last time! I didn’t expect to bump into you here, Little Bro Zhang Che!”

It had to be mentioned that Wang Dong’s memory was really something. It had been about a month since he bought the Maneater Leech card from Zhang Che, and he was still able to recognize him.

“Ah, so it’s you! No wonder you seem a little familiar!”

Zhang Che feigned a look of realization, and asked doubtfully, “Oh, right, is there some powerful beast ahead, seeing as you ran here in such a hurry?”

Wang Dong’s eyes rolled about, before nodding, “That’s right. I wouldn’t have said this if it were anyone else, but since it’s you, Brother Zhang, I don’t mind. A swamp can be found after making a turn through those small hills ahead, filled with huge, crocodile-like exotic beasts. They’re really strong. I recommend you not to go there.”

Zhang Che couldn’t help but feel disappointed. He thought there would be some high-quality beasts ahead, but it turned out to be group-type exotic beasts. Since that was the case, their quality was unlikely to be high.

“Thanks Brother Wang for your reminder, but I’m quite curious about those crocodile-like beasts. It shouldn’t be dangerous to take a look at them from a distance, I suppose.”

Wang Dong sighed, “To tell you the truth, Brother Zhang, it shouldn’t be much of a problem if it were only ordinary crocodile-like beasts, but the key is that there are two big ones within the group. I suspect their quality won’t be low; it’d be too dangerous if they set their eyes on you.”

Zhang Che’s heart was stirred, and started laughing, “It’s fine. I’ll only be taking a look. I’ll definitely not get close to them. Really, thanks so much Brother Wang for your reminder. Let’s get in touch when we’re outside; I’ll buy you a drink sometime!”

“No problem. Thanks in advance, then!” It was only now that Wang Dong remembered adding this little brother’s contact information. He waved goodbye, saying, “I still have something on, and will be making a move first. You must be careful out there. Don’t get careless!”

After bidding farewell, Wang Dong slapped his Elephorse’s neck and dashed off into the distance, toward the safety zone.

Wang Dong didn’t regret telling Zhang Che about the information he intended to sell for money in the slightest. Instead, he was thinking, -I hope this kid knows to back off when he realizes the danger, and doesn’t die in that swamp. He’s a Tier Three beastmaster at best; how could he possibly be a match for that group of crocodiles?-

-Seems like I have to hurry back and sell this piece of information. Otherwise, I’ll be suffering a huge loss if some other experts were to discover this place!-
