Divine Beast Adventures-Chapter 544 - Bursting with Luck

Edited by Aelryinth

Not having a good weapon had a rather big effect on Huang Tielan’s battle prowess. Even though Zhang Che had prepared two Unicorns for her, they were both essentially support-type subdued beasts. Their attack power was somewhat lacking.

The weapons Zhang Che had outgrown, be it the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword or the Horned Electric Python, were five-star beast cards. Huang Tielan needed to achieve Tier Five beastmaster before she could use either of them.

Although Huang Tielan could advance to Tier Five very quickly with Zhang Che’s help, they had obviously not planned on staying in the beast world for such a long time.

Those would be the weapons Huang Tielan would use in the future, but Zhang Che truly couldn’t find a suitable weapon for her during this bridging period.

Zhang Che did have a four-star weapon; the Rotten Ent Prowler whip, which had been upgraded to dark gold-quality. However, this weapon was a little too dirty. Huang Tielan would probably not like it.

Also, she was used to using swords. She wouldn’t be used to it if she suddenly changed her weapon of choice into a whip, and wouldn’t be able to wield it effectively and display its proper strength.

Moreover, Zhang Che felt it was a little too shameful to equip his girlfriend with a dark gold-quality weapon. It had to be a legend-quality at the very least!

When Zhang Che explained the situation, Huang Tielan, who was already fatigued from killing exotic beasts, couldn’t help but sigh, saying, “Let’s put this matter off until later. If there’s nothing suitable for now, then I’ll just use the Mutated Puffersword. I don’t need to do battle often anyways, it’s no big deal if I don’t have a good weapon for now. Also, I don’t like using whips, you disgusting fellow…”

Zhang Che was left speechless after hearing what she said. -It’s only a long whip-type weapon. How is it disgusting?-

Of course, he wouldn’t dare say this aloud. Thinking back carefully, the Rotten Ent Prowler whip did feel somewhat disgusting… So be it, if Miss Tienan didn’t want to use it!

While the two were conversing, violent trembling came from the side. The Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus came running up excitedly, his mouth holding onto a few mid-tier exotic beasts. First, he paraded himself in front of Zhang Che to claim credit for his work, then put down the dying exotic beasts and ran away with big steps.

That fellow’s mouth was huge. Every time he came back, he would bring at least two or three exotic beasts with him!

“Please spare me, Zhang Xiaoche. I’m so tired I really can’t swing my sword anymore…” Huang Tielan looked at the backlog of exotic beasts she had yet to kill, then shifted her gaze over to the ones the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus had just brought back. On the other side, the elemental queen was flying back to them, smiling, holding a mid-tier exotic beast in each of her hands.

She felt like she really couldn’t move anymore. As such, Huang Tielan directly put away her long sword and sat down on a rock protruding out from the ground at the side. The way she was hanging her head looked very comical. Those not in the know would think she hadn’t been able to hunt any exotic beasts!

If they were to find out that her hands had gone limp from slaughtering exotic beasts like pigs, who knew how jealous they would get?

Zhang Che was helpless about that, too. If they continued at this pace, they’d probably only need two days for Miss Tienan to advance to Tier Four. They’d scare others to death if they told others.

It couldn’t be helped, however. Killing exotic beasts non-stop, even though they didn’t have the ability to retaliate, wasn’t like slaughtering chickens, after all. Huang Tielan really couldn’t handle it, given her physique.

“We’ll take a short rest, then. Let’s get something to eat first. We’ll continue after you recover your strength.”

Huang Tielan immediately grew excited when she heard they were getting some food. She quickly stood up and chirped, “Hah, then I want to eat roasted meat! I want to eat meat roasted by the elemental queen!”

Obviously, the elemental queen had not only conquered Zhang Che and the frisky monkey, she had similarly conquered Huang Tielan.

This humanoid pet’s skill at roasting meat was truly at the top of the universe. No one could compare to her at all.

Sometimes, Zhang Che would imagine if he went to open a roasted meat store, the business would probably be so good that countless customers would be queuing up from morning until night.

Not only that, given the elemental queen’s inhuman physique, there was no need to worry she would be fatigued. She’d be fine even if she forewent eating and sleeping, and worked for a full month straight.

After receiving Zhang Che’s message telepathically, the elemental queen suddenly felt a chill down her spine while making her way back. She shivered and quickly stopped in place, looking around. However, she couldn’t find any powerful exotic beasts nearby.

-Then, what was that ill feeling just now?-

Shaking her head, the elemental queen continued flying back to where Zhang Che was with a doubtful expression.

—

Soon, everything was prepared. The elemental queen started working. A little less than an hour later, a large pile of saliva-inducing meat was roasted up. Huang Tielan was so tempted by it that she kept swallowing, wishing she could start eating right away.

“Oh, right, I almost forgot about the little guy.” Just as they were about to dig in, Zhang Che suddenly slapped his head and summoned out the frisky monkey with a wave of his hand. That fellow had stayed in his spiritual sea for a very long time now. Taking the opportunity that they had free time now, it was better to let him out for a breather.

As expected, the frisky monkey shot a resentful gaze at Zhang Che the moment he appeared. Just as he was about to call out “Baba,” Zhang Che decisively stopped him through a spiritual message.

It would have been so shameful if Huang Tielan heard him…

Huang Tielan had a face full of shock when she saw the frisky monkey appear. “This is the little guy you mentioned? He’s as tall as me even when sitting, alright? If this is considered a little guy, what is your idea of a big guy?”

Indeed, the current frisky monkey stood over two meters tall, his weight heavy and his waist round. He had a fierce appearance; he truly didn’t fit the term “little guy”.

Zhang Che met Huang Tielan’s confused gaze and sighed, explaining, “Let’s dig in… You have no idea. This little thing actually wasn’t like this in the past. He consumed some spiritual herbs, evolved afterwards, and grew into that. He really doesn’t look pleasing to the eye, no matter how I look at him.”

Upon hearing Zhang Che say dig in, the frisky monkey quickly grabbed a handful of meat and stuffed his face full before Huang Tielan could do anything.

As for the matter about his master daddy having a change of heart… well, that wasn’t important compared to delicious food.

“Ah, this guy moves so quickly!” Huang Tielan gasped and hurriedly joined in on the fight for food.

Due to the addition of the frisky monkey, that little bit of meat the elemental queen had roasted wasn’t enough at all. As such, Zhang Che took out another pile of meat from his spatial storage, then applied some spices and spiritual honey on them and shoved them to the elemental queen.

The elemental queen didn’t complain. After taking all the meat, she swiftly started roasting again.

The elemental queen truly was the most hardworking pet. She was pleasing to the eye and capable, not to mention her combat prowess was unusually high. There truly wasn’t any better pet around.

Zhang Che looked at the frisky monkey again. Comparing one thing with another was really dreadful. There was too much of a difference between the frisky monkey and the elemental queen.

Well, a certain fellow seemed to have forgotten that it was precisely because of the frisky monkey that he had obtained a huge number of spiritual herbs on his path to becoming strong, and so quickly increased his strength.

People always favored the new over the old.

After eating her fill after much difficulty, Huang Tielan seemed to have thought of something. She suddenly asked with her eyes beaming with light, “Oh, right. You said you have someone who can find spiritual herbs. Could it be this guy?”

Done speaking, she hinted at the frisky monkey with her gaze.

Zhang Che blinked a few times, then answered, “Yeah, it’s this guy. His innate ability is sensing the fluctuations of spiritual force. He can detect the presence of spiritual herbs nearby.”

Huang Tielan immediately jumped up from the ground and cried out excitedly, “Really? Then let’s set out quickly and let him use his ability. Let’s scavenge the spiritual herbs in this area!”

Zhang Che tilted his head and pointed at the dying dozen or so mid-tier exotic beasts, saying, “Hmm, you’re becoming fickle-minded now. You don’t want to kill these exotic beasts and not want to advance to Tier Four beastmaster already?”

Huang Tielan immediately showed a pleading expression and said cutely, “Zhang Xiaoche, I’m really tired and can’t move anymore. Can we just take it as relaxing for a bit? Also, your subdued beasts capture exotic beasts so quickly; there’s no need for us to be in such a hurry. I can advance to Tier Four beastmaster successfully in a few days at the most!”

Well, Miss Tienan even used the godly technique of acting coquettishly. Zhang Che had no choice but to go with her whims.

Speaking of which, striking a balance between leisure and work wasn’t bad, either. If he was in her shoes, he’d also find it sickening if he had to kill exotic beasts non-stop.

Thinking of it that way, Zhang Che no longer said anything about the matter. He beckoned the frisky monkey over, but didn’t order him to use his skill. He had the frisky monkey sense his surroundings with only his innate ability and soon discovered several reactions nearby.

Even without using his skill, the current frisky monkey was able to sense the spiritual fluctuations within several kilometers. Zhang Che only needed to show Huang Tielan the frisky monkey’s miraculous ability; that was more than enough.

However, the situation this time around seemed a little different.

After the frisky monkey was done sensing his surroundings, he immediately grew excited and pointed southwest, nearly crying out loud. Luckily, Zhang Che stopped him in time and strictly ordered him to not say a word in front of Huang Tielan, keeping his secret. It would have been too sensational if an exotic beast started speaking human.

Huang Tielan grew a little suspicious when she saw the frisky monkey acting so unusually excited. She asked, “What happened, Zhang Xiaoche? Did he discover something unusual?”

Zhang Che showed a radiant smile and nodded, saying, “Mmm. I didn’t expect our luck to be this good! We actually discovered a top-grade spiritual herb here, so close to the safety zone!”

Huang Tielan immediately grew excited as well and said loudly, “Woah, we really discovered a top-grade spiritual herb? Then let’s go over quickly!”

As a genius beast card cultivator, Huang Tielan knew the value of a top-grade spiritual herb very well. How could she sit still after hearing Zhang Che say that the frisky monkey had discovered one? She immediately urged them to go in the direction the frisky monkey had pointed out.
