Although he lamented that it wouldn’t be easy to cross the mountain range, Zhang Che still let out a light sigh of relief.
At the very least, those large, terrifying beasts wouldn’t appear in this rough terrain.
As such, Zhang Che summoned the Scarlet Flame Drake and the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander with a wave of his hand.
The Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus was too big; he wouldn’t be able to display his full potential here.
As for the Purple Jade Condor, Zhang Che didn’t dare to guarantee no abnormally powerful flying beasts would appear. It was better to not let it take the risk.
With a legendary and two dark gold-quality beasts, if even they were unable to ensure his safety, there was no need for Zhang Che to continue making this journey. He should just find a rock and knock himself out.
Truthfully speaking, being equipped with that level of beasts was sufficient to shock anyone.
Leaving the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander aside, other than its Earth Elemental Armor halo which increased its party’s defenses by a little, there was no other unique points to it. It was an existence that belonged in the bottom rung of dark gold-quality beasts.
The Scarlet Flame Drake, on the other hand, was different. With the Liquifying Scarlet Flame skill, it definitely warranted a spot as a top-tier beast within dark gold-quality. It could even contest against some legend-quality exotic beasts!
What made Zhang Che feel the most safe was the Purple Crystal Tortoise.
This fellow’s attacking strength was simply off the charts. If it wasn’t an exotic beast whose strength was absurdly high, they probably wouldn’t be able to last a second under the Rock Spear Gatling skill before being turned into powder.
Most importantly, this fellow could also turn into a purple crystal armor during crucial moments, shielding him with unparalleled defensive strength!

In the mountains, the vegetation wasn’t as rich as the area by the sea. It was probably due to the thinner layer of soil. The largest trees were only around two meters in diameter.
There were more bushes around here, however, covering most of the surface area.
This opened up his range of vision countless times. At least he could see dangers earlier and not walk into them unknowingly.
“Say, can I summon the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon later and roast an exotic beast or two to eat?”
It’d been a few days since he had any meat for food. Zhang Che was so hungry that his eyes were starting to turn green.
This was especially true in the most recent days, after he lost his compressed biscuits as well. Since yesterday night, all he had for food were the fruits picked by the frisky monkey. They were delicious, nonetheless, but they didn’t fill his stomach.
However, for safety’s sake, Zhang Che decided to wait until he was deeper into the mountains before considering the matter of eating meat.
He still remembered vividly his first day here, when he saw that huge winged dragon in the sky. It was simply a savage existence. It would not be fun if the fragrance of roasted meat attracted such ferocious beasts to him!

After descending the first mountain and climbing to the waist of the second, all kinds of fruits suddenly rained down upon Zhang Che from an extremely high place, aiming for his head.
Zhang Che fumed!
Without even having to think, he knew they must have ran into the weirdos of the animal kingdom: monkeys!
He hurriedly found a rock and hid behind it, then summoned the frisky monkey.
“Frisky monkey, are those guys up there your fellow townsman? Go tell them; if they continue to act so naughtily, watch out for their butts, because I’m coming for them!”
The frisky monkey was depressed! – Since when did those ordinary folks become my townsmen? I’m the one and only, who trampled upon the heavens…-
&123;TLN: Reference to Sun Wukong.&125;
-Ugh, okay, I’m slightly worse than that senior monkey master always talks about.-
Although Zhang Che was messing around with the frisky monkey with his words, he wasn’t just idling around; he directly ordered the Purple Crystal Tortoise to launch a chain cannon attack above him!
Mmm, the might of the rock spears were definitely comparable to cannon fire!
In the next moment, the Purple Crystal Tortoise stuck out its head, aiming at where the countless fruits were coming from. Its mouth widened, countless blurry silhouettes shot out.
Bang bang bang bang!…
Of course, this wasn’t the sound of the rock spears being shot, but the explosions that were produced after they were shot and struck the rocks above, ringing out continuously.
At the same time, there was also a wave of tragic cries.
It went without saying that the bunch of the frisky monkey’s townsmen went through some bad times.
Zhang Che was ecstatic! -I’m no longer the greenhorn that I was. You want to mess me up with just a few fruits? No way!-
He turned his head to look at the frisky monkey, asking, “Say, would you blame me if I killed your fellow townsmen?”
Mmm, those monkeys were definitely the frisky monkey’s townsmen. From the notifications ringing in his mind, Zhang Che learned of their names; they were actually called Mischievous Monkeys. They truly were like different tunes played by the same musician!
The frisky monkey turned his head away, ignoring this flippant master of his.
Zhang Che immediately lost all enthusiasm. Gods knew how long more to go before he walked out of this mountain range. There wasn’t anyone to talk to; if he couldn’t even tease his pet a little for fun, how boring would it be?
On the other front, the Purple Crystal Tortoise’s attack finally stopped.
Speaking of which, after the space in this fellow’s unique dimension expanded to a thousand cubic meters, the Rock Spear Gatling skill was like an overpowered, bugged skill. Although these rocks would be miraculously compressed and there was still a limit to the number of rock spears shot out, they were still terrifying, nonetheless.
It went without saying that the mountain ridge above was punched full of holes. You might not even find a complete blade of grass there.
“Come on, let’s go take a look. Hopefully there’s a female monkey or two remaining for you to take as your wife,” Zhang Che patted the frisky monkey. He stood up from behind the rock and looked up, his face frozen.
The sight before him was in ruins… well, that wasn’t even enough to describe the scene he saw.
On the mountain ridge, there truly weren’t any healthy plants remaining in a circular area close to a thousand meters square. Even the protruding rocks were turned to powder, countless smashed bits of rocks covered the ground.
Not a perfect plant or rock remained, not to mention the detestable Mischievous Monkeys. It didn’t have to be said that they were all reduced to streaks of light and dissipated, or turned into beast cards and were buried under the debris.
“Crap, now there’s no hope of finding you a wife anymore…”
It took some time before Zhang Che could shut his widened mouth. He was so shocked by the Purple Crystal Tortoise’s skill that he couldn’t utter a word. The area was in such a tragic state that it looked like it was bombarded by highly concentrated cannon fire.
The frisky monkey continued ignoring this silly master.
“Hmm? I’m giving you face and you’re rejecting it. Go, help me find all the beast cards. Although they are only four-star bronze-quality, they can be used to help me increase my fusion skill experience,” Zhang Che said, sending the frisky monkey to find the beast cards as he slapped the back of the latter’s head. Suddenly, Zhang Che noticed the flames on the Scarlet Flame Drake’s body rising, its aura growing in intensity. The Scarlet Flame Drake raised its head, looking up the sky to the distance.
On the other side, the Purple Crystal Tortoise emerged from the ground, its “stomach” half-filled, similarly looking in that direction warily.
Afterwards, the weakest of them, the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander, raised its neck and look to the sky.
“There’s danger!”
