Divine Beast Adventures-Chapter 513 - Appearance of Another Dark-Attributed Exotic Beast. Arriving at Jingzhou. [Two in One]

Edited by Aelryinth

The next morning, Zhang Che started0 up Dijiang-hao after breakfast and flew off to the far south.

Huang Tielan didn’t go back to school. Instead, with Liu Gang accompanying her, she went around shopping throughout Bei Du City.

A few ingredients were still missing for the cultivation fluids for the Purple Jade Condor and the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander. She had to go searching for them in different exotic beast material shops.

If she couldn’t find those ingredients in Bei Du City, Huang Tielan would have to expand her search range to include the nearby large cities. The cultivation of those two beast cards was a pretty huge challenge for her.

If she could concoct the cultivation fluids for those two beast cards successfully, then Huang Tielan would become an experienced intermediate beast card cultivator. It was extremely beneficial to her growth in the art.

As such, compared to looking for those ingredients, going to school or not wasn’t as important for her. In any case, Huang Tielan had already learned what was being taught by the professors on her own. Taking a leave from school wasn’t a problem at all.

The teachers from the beast card cultivation faculty in Bei Du University naturally wouldn’t impose the requirements for ordinary students on a genius like Huang Tielan.

If everything progressed well, there was a chance Huang Tielan would become the first student in Bei Du University to become an advanced beast card cultivator while still a student in the school’s history! It was a great honor to both Huang Tielan and the Bei Du University’s beast card cultivation faculty!

——

After handing the task of looking for the ingredients to Huang Tielan, Zhang Che piloted Dijiang-hao south. Jingzhou was tens of thousands of kilometers away. Even Dijiang-hao needed a few hours to get there.

In the plane cabin, the elemental queen was comparing notes with someone else on chess over the internet.

In the short span of a month or so, the elemental queen’s chess skill had quickly increased. She had actually achieved seventh-dan online. According to the standards of the real world, she was at about the level of third-dan for amateur players!

As for Zhang Che, even with his skills from his past life, he was only at the first-dan for amateur players at the most. Compared to the elemental queen, it was simply like heaven and earth!

Of course, Zhang Che had wisely avoided comparing himself with the elemental queen on this.

The journey was long. In his boredom, he started appreciating the scenery outside through the glass windows. However, Zhang Che only looked out for a short while before losing interest.

Having explored the beast worlds for such a long time now, what kind of scenery hadn’t Zhang Che seen before? He really didn’t feel anything looking at the mountains and rivers of Mercury.

From time to time, Dijiang-hao would overtake a commercial plane flying a few thousand meters below them, leaving Zhang Che especially satisfied.

“Hmm? What’s that?” Just as Dijiang-hao was about to overtake another commercial flight, Zhang Che suddenly noticed two black silhouettes from the corner of his eye, flying in from the horizon and chasing after the commercial flight.

At this moment, Zhang Che finally got a clear look at them. The two silhouettes were actually the same dark-attributed exotic beasts he had killed before!

Obviously, the two exotic beasts had taken the commercial flight as prey, and were about to go destroy it and eat the passengers inside.

“Well, food is here!” Zhang Che’s eyes lit up.

The Umbra WInd God Leopard’s growth had always been a huge problem troubling him. Heavens knew how long that fellow would take to finally mature just by relying on absorbing the rainbow crystal’s energy before it gained the strength of divine-quality?

Zhang Che had tried other methods, but the Umbra Wind God Leopard wasn’t interested in spiritual herbs at all. Otherwise, he’d have fed the cat large amounts of spiritual herb long ago and forcibly hastened his growth.

Not only that, the Umbra Wind God Leopard wasn’t interested in most exotic beasts, either. He was only interested in wind or dark-attributed exotic beasts. The latter especially aroused his desire to eat.

Unfortunately, exotic beasts belonging to those two attributes were rare. Zhang Che had no means to accelerate the Umbra Wind God Leopard’s growth for some time.

Now that those two exotic beasts had suddenly appeared, it was simply like a ferocious tiger suddenly discovering a fat pig after starving for a few days. Zhang Che was incredibly excited!

Furthermore, he could also save a flight full of people. That would give him a greater sense of accomplishment.

Zhang Che quickly piloted Dijiang-hao with almost no hesitation, changing directions and chasing after the commercial flight below.

—

The commercial plane’s radar had already noticed the two dark-attributed exotic beasts chasing after it from over a dozen kilometers away. Its alarms were blaring. All defensive weapons were activated, and the plane’s engines were operating at full power.

The dark-attributed exotic beasts had caused several incidents in the recent months, and their notoriety had spread to every airline company. As a result, their arrival had put the commercial plane’s crew on high alert.

It wasn’t that the military had never tried to eliminate the raiding beasts. However, they came and went like shadows, and they were extremely fast. Even the newest fighter jets couldn’t catch up to them. As such, the military’s multiple attempts at hunting the exotic beasts down ended in failure.

The commercial flight’s crew was deeply aware of the dark-attributed exotic beasts’ ferocity. As such, they had told the passengers this sad news, and that they should contact their relatives and friends and leave their last words behind.

Immediately, the flight cabin fell into chaos. Crying and wailing noises rose everywhere. The shadow of death engulfed everyone.

The flight crew didn’t realize a sky shuttle installed with the latest technologies was currently flying towards them at top speed.

Dijiang-hao had the ability to conceal itself. It was truly impossible to notice its presence unless they had the best military radar.

“Luckily I discovered them early. I should be able to save them in time.”

While flying towards the commercial plane, Zhang Che used Dijiang-hao’s computer to make some calculations. It concluded that the commercial plane shouldn’t be in any danger.

Even so, neither the crew nor the passengers knew about this. The crew, shrouded by a huge shadow of death, quickly launched a desperate attack on the two ghostly dark-attributed exotic beasts when they saw the exotic beasts rushing at them on the screen.

For a period of time, the rapid-fire cannons installed on the plane shot out tongues of flames. At the same time, a few miniature missiles flew out, dragging tails of flame behind them as they headed straight for the two dark-attributed exotic beasts.

Although they knew these attacks were basically useless, the crew had no other methods to deal with the situation. Even though they had sent out an urgent signal for help through the public channels, jets sent from the nearest military facilities would take more than fifteen minutes to arrive.

By that time, this plane would have been blown up by the two exotic beasts, turned into wreckage and scattered across the land below.

In the cabin, wailing sounds were still rising. However, the passengers had already made peace with their fate. They began to make good use of their last moments and contacted their close ones, leaving their last words behind.

An incredibly somber atmosphere filled the whole plane.

——

“Ten thousand meters, nine thousand meters… five thousand meters, they have come within attack range!”

On Dijiang-hao, Zhang Che was watching the operation interface closely. Once the distance between Dijiang-hao and the two exotic beasts was inside the laser cannon’s effective range, he immediately pressed the button without hesitation. Two beams of blazing light instantly streaked across thousands of meters of space, landing on the two exotic beasts’ bodies.

The two dark-attributed exotic beasts didn’t pay any heed to the commercial plane’s desperate attack earlier. The cannon fire was too slow and were unable to keep up with their flight speed at all. As for the miniature missiles, the exotic beasts shot out rays of dark light when they came within a hundred meters and detonated them. The missiles couldn’t reach their targets at all.

They were powerful exotic beasts that even the military’s jets had trouble hunting. How could a commercial plane pose any threat to them?

The two power exotic beasts seemed like they could already see the scene of the passengers’ flesh and blood entering their stomachs. Their long, narrow eyes shone with a hint of their bloodthirst.

At this moment, however, they suddenly felt a huge threat approaching!

Before they could make any evasive maneuvers, two beams of intense light struck their bodies, instantly burning through their slick black scales. The flesh, blood, and bones underneath were similarly unable to withstand the heat from the beams of light.

Almost instantly, the two dark-attributed exotic beasts suffered heavy injuries.

Even so, this was the result of Zhang Che seeing the commercial plane about to fall into danger, and he hadn’t bring Dijiang-hao into the optimal attack range. The strength of the lasers had weakened a lot at that range. Otherwise, the lasers might have been able to kill off the two exotic beasts instantly!

Even so, not killing the exotic beasts instantly was no problem. The rate of fire for the lasers was very high, and they were quickly recharging. Only a few seconds was needed to fire the weapon again.

The two dark-attributed exotic beasts no longer cared about the commercial plane. They quickly changed directions at the same time, rushing towards the culprit who had injured them, roaring fiercely.

—

Almost everyone on the commercial plane saw the two blinding beams of light, and watched the two powerful exotic beasts, looming like the gods of death, directly abandon them and fly in another direction.

It was only then that the crew members of the plane saw Dijiang-hao horizontally above them, quickly diving down towards them.

Without a doubt, it was that sky shuttle that struck the two exotic beasts earlier and saved everyone on the plane. The flight crew quickly informed the passengers of this exciting news.

Loud cheers rose from the cabin. Those who were weeping just moments earlier were suddenly laughing out loud.

They knew that everyone had just escaped from the gates of Hell!

——

Aboard Dijiang-hao, Zhang Che drew his lips back into a disdainful smile when he saw the two exotic beasts flying in his direction. The private sky shuttle was installed with lasers; it wasn’t something exotic beasts could casually stand against, unless they were divine-quality. Zhang Che had nothing to worry about.

The lasers were done recharging. Dijiang-hao’s radar system locked onto the two exotic beasts once more. At Zhang Che’s command, another two beams of burning light shot out.

This time, the exotic beasts were within a thousand meters from Dijiang-hao. The power of the laser was at maximum at that distance!

Without any warning, the beams of light streaked through the air. Parts of the exotic beasts’ heads were instantly vaporized. The remaining brain matter and the flesh and blood on its head were charred from the heat.

—

Thousands of meters away, another wave of cheering rose on the commercial plane.

The flight crew watched the two terrifying exotic beasts get killed when the sky shuttle attacked again. This time, they relaxed fully.

Moments later, the flight crew connected to Dijiang-hao on the public radio channel and expressed their sincere thanks to Zhang Che.

—

Zhang Che didn’t have the time to pay them any heed. He quickly had Dijiang-hao chase after the exotic beasts’ corpses, descending quickly.

Those two exotic beasts’ corpses concerned the Umbra Wind God Leopard’s growth. If he didn’t keep an eye on them and they fell into the mountains or rivers below, Zhang Che might not be able to find them.

As a matter of fact, Zhang Che’s worries were not unfounded.

The two dark-attributed exotic beasts’ corpses actually fell directly into a fast-flowing river below, sinking into the water and disappearing from sight.

Zhang Che had witnessed the process of the corpses falling into the water. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been easy to retrieve them.

He landed Dijiang-hao on the mudflat next to the river. Zhang Che immediately leapt out of the cabin, and a rainbow light shot out from his brow. At his command, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon directly plunged into the murky river waters to retrieve the two dark-attributed exotic beasts’ corpses.

—

Soon, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon broke through the water’s surface, his two hind claws each grabbing onto a corpse, and flew back to Zhang Che’s side.

Zhang Che broke into a wide smile upon sensing the dense dark-attributed energy left on the exotic beasts’ corpses. He quickly summoned out the Umbra Wind God Leopard and let him enjoy a meal that belonged only to him.

This time, after consuming the two dark-attributed exotic beasts’ corpses, the Umbra Wind God Leopard didn’t fall into a deep slumber again. He only let out a few satisfied burps.

Zhang Che knew that the two dark-attributed corpses weren’t enough for this little fellow to have a breakthrough. Even so, he was helpless about it. He didn’t know any place that had dark-attributed exotic beasts. Even if he wanted to go look for them, he had no clue where to begin his search.

Seeing the Umbra Wind God Leopard looking at him with an incredibly longing gaze, Zhang Che couldn’t resist patting him and consoling him, “Don’t lose heart, little guy. Some time soon, we’ll go find information on dark and wind-attributed exotic beasts specifically. At that time, I’ll definitely let you have your fill!”

Now that Zhang Che have successfully advanced to Tier Seven beastmaster, he didn’t have to travel around the beast worlds specifically to kill exotic beasts for the foreseeable future. He could go around finding news on dark or wind-attributed exotic beasts, and work to help the Umbra Wind God Leopard grow up.

——

After this little interlude, Dijiang-hao rose to the skies once more, continuing its flight towards the southernmost corner of Hua Xia.

Slightly after 3 PM, an endless spread of sea appeared in front of Zhang Che’s sight. Dijiang-hao continued flying for a while, and a huge island entered his vision soon after.

After a few hours of flight, Jingzhou was right before Zhang Che.
