Sha sha sha, sha sha sha…
After Zhang Che walked several hundred meters towards the mountains ahead of him with his two subdued beasts by his side, he heard some noises coming from the shrubs to his left.
“Heh, our luck is pretty good. We encountered a beast so soon after leaving the safety zone.”
Zhang Che didn’t feel any fear. He was barely out of the safe zone. As such, he wouldn’t encounter any powerful beasts here under normal circumstances. Furthermore, he had a bronze and a silver-tiered beast with him. There was no need to be afraid at all.
However, just to be safe, Zhang Che willed the Large Tusk Boar to stand guard in front of him, while the stronger beast, the Fiery Scorpion, was put on standby.
Soon, several dark red millipedes came crawling out of the bushes, each of them about a meter long. It seemed they caught the scent of fresh meat on Zhang Che and were crawling straight toward him.
These millipedes had cylindrical bodies, with yellow rings spaced equally apart along them. Upon close inspection, those yellow rings were located where each individual section of its body was connected.
Zhang Che’s scalp went numb at the sight of these millipedes crawling toward him, raising goosebumps all over his body.
-These damn worms look so freaking disgusting!-

“Hmm? I can even see the exotic beasts’ attributes!”
Zhang Che blanked out for a moment after the information flashed before his eyes. Immediately afterwards, he couldn’t help but feel overjoyed.
With that, didn’t that mean that he’d be able to determine the strength of the beasts he encountered in the future, before actually fighting them? With such an ability, he would be in a much safer position!
While Zhang Che was distracted by his thoughts, the Mutated Dark Carapaced Millipedes were nearly upon him, causing him to hurriedly hide behind the Large Tusk Boar in fear.
This was no joke! They could spit out corrosive fluid! He could really die if he was careless and got himself sprayed in the face!
The Fiery Scorpion received Zhang Che’s orders at the same time and moved in the terrifying bugs’ direction like a war chariot, its pincers waving about.
The millipedes weren’t afraid in the least. All Zhang Che heard was chittering sounds, and saw wave upon wave of fog-like acid spraying out of the leg-glands of the bugs, dousing the Fiery Scorpion right ahead of them.
Zhang Che’s heart jumped into his throat after seeing that.
The Fiery Scorpion wouldn’t be hurt by this acid… right?
As it turned out, the silver-tiered Fiery Scorpion was pretty strong in its own right. The millipedes’ toxin only caused some discomfort on the scorpion’s end, and were unable to truly harm it.
Even so, the Fiery Scorpion was enraged by their attacks. It rushed up to a millipede in front, waving its huge pincers.
Kacha! Kacha!
The millipede was snipped cleanly into three as the sound rang out.
“What powerful attack this bastard has! As expected of a silver-tiered beast!”
Zhang Che was unusually excited watching this. From the looks of it, these ferocious-looking millipedes were slices of cake in the face of the Fiery Scorpion, awaiting its consumption.
However, what was with that trisected millipede still spraying acid at the Fiery Scorpion? It was just as described in the information flashed to Zhang Che; it had some really tenacious vitality!
“Crush it!”
Zhang Che gave a new order to attack.
The Fiery Scorpion reacted quickly to this order. It immediately raised its pincers and smashed them down at the millipede’s severed parts.
Papapa! A crisp wave of sound rang out. The three sections of the millipede’s bodies were crushed like crispy egg rolls by the Fiery Scorpion’s pincers, and finally died.
==[You Killed a Mutated Dark Carapaced Millipede. Obtained 1 Point of Soul Force.]==
As the millipede’s unrecognizable corpse turned into a streak of light and disappeared, Zhang Che suddenly received a strange notification. Immediately after, a tiny bit of white light separated from the streak of light and flew towards him, melding into the center of his brow.
Zhang Che blinked several times in surprise. There is actually a function like this! Why does it feel like I’m playing a game, receiving notice about gaining experience?
It had to be noted that the beast world was truly filled with mysteries!
What a pity. I didn’t manage to obtain a beast card from the first exotic beast I ever hunted. However, there are still six millipedes remaining. I should be able to obtain at least one card no matter how unlucky I am, right?
Following which, the powerful Fiery Scorpion transformed into a demolisher. It waved its pincers around, chasing down the millipedes and crushing them. Smashing sounds rang out constantly, turning the bugs into streaks of light and dissipating.
==[You Killed a Mutated Dark Carapaced Millipede. Obtained 1 Point of Soul Force.]==
==[You Killed a Mutated Dark Carapaced Millipede. Obtained 1 Point of Soul Force.]==
==[You Killed a Mutated Dark Carapaced Millipede. Obtained 1 Point of Soul Force.]==
…..
The same notification rang out five more times in Zhang Che’s mind. He obtained another five points of soul force. To his dismay, he didn’t get even a single beast card!
-Could it be that the drop rates are actually that low? Or is it that I’m just so unlucky that a thick odor is oozing out of me?-
Pa-pa-pa!
The last millipede was crushed by the Fiery Scorpion in the end, as well. Its crushed body turned into a streak of light.
However, the light didn’t dissipate this time around. Instead, it gathered together and transformed into a metallic gray card, falling to the ground.
==[You Killed a Mutated Dark Carapaced Millipede. Obtained 1 Point of Soul Force. Obtained Mutated Dark Carapaced Millipede Card.]==
Zhang Che waved his fist triumphantly, saying, “I knew it! How could my luck be that bad?!”
He immediately ran out from behind the Large Tusk Boar. He picked up the metallic gray card from the ground, revealing an excited smile.
Although the Mutated Dark Carapaced Millipede was really weak, this was the first beast card he had obtained by himself, after all. Its sentimental value was way higher than than its practical value!
Zhang Che swept his gaze across the card, and its data was revealed to him.

-Tsk, an original combat body type. Doesn’t that mean I just got another poison freak? I’m really curious about the other types of beast cards…-
Zhang Che couldn’t help but wonder in anticipation.
