-I knew it!- Zhang Che cursed inwardly. He hurriedly had the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon accelerate to his maximum speed, diving straight down.

However, that group of black dots was even faster!

Originally, they were only about the size of sesame seeds in Zhang Che’s eyes. Before long, they were already at the size of peanuts and were quickly expanding to the size of a fist!

-What the hell is that? It’s so fast!- Zhang Che was astonished. He could only pray that those black dots wouldn’t catch up to him before the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon reached the ground.

Alas, his wish was destined to come to nothing.

When that spread of black dots came closing in at the speed of lightning, Zhang Che finally got a clear look at them. It was a bunch of strange grayish birds with appearances resembling bats. They had savage-looking heads, and their bodies were covered in a layer of grey fur.

What was more shocking was that those fellows had a long, slim tail, and at the tip of their tail was a sharp stinger, giving him chills when he saw it.

Zhang Che quickly summoned the Purple Crystal Tortoise and Scarlet Flame Drake without any delay. Among his subdued beasts and pets, only these two had sustained long distance attacks.

Forget about the Unicorn; that fellow only had a one-time use attack, and would turn into a pure nanny afterwards. It wouldn’t be very useful in this situation.

Of course, if he was really in such a desperate situation, Zhang Che wouldn’t just leave it idling in his spiritual sea.

What was left was only the frisky monkey.

In the current situation, the frisky monkey’s aim would surely be greatly affected. It was hard to say if he could hit his targets accurately.

Moreover, the frisky monkey had almost no means of self-preservation. Once those extremely fast strange birds got close, he wouldn’t be able to put up any resistance at all.

Zhang Che didn’t dare risk losing the frisky monkey by summoning him out. The monkey was his super biological spiritual herb searching tool. Finding spiritual herbs all depended on him; how could Zhang Che let him take such a risk?

The flock of strange birds had a lot of them. Zhang Che roughly estimated that there were several dozen of them.

After Zhang Che summoned the Scarlet Flame Drake and Purple Crystal Tortoise, the bunch of strange birds were finally upon them.

Zhang Che’s complexion changed slightly.

He couldn’t see their attributes!

This reminded him of the strange black wolf slain by the Scarlet Flame Drake last night. Could it be that the creatures in the secret world were entirely different from the beast world?

Not being able to see their attributes meant that Zhang Che was unable to determine his enemies’ strength. This left him feeling a little flustered.

All this while, he had avoided many dangers thanks to his data eyes, and also obtained many powerful subdued beasts that could incite envy in others.

Now that his data eyes were ineffective, how could he not be scared?

Although he was shaken, Zhang Che wouldn’t do nothing and wait for his death.

Under his command, the Purple Crystal Tortoise was the first to strike.

Of course, since he didn’t know the true strength of those strange birds, Zhang Che didn’t have it directly shoot out the bone spikes. They were high up in the sky right now; how was he supposed to find and retrieve the bone spikes if they were shot out? He would be devastated if even one of those precious treasures was lost!

The Purple Crystal Tortoise opened its mouth and shot out a rock spear at the strange bird at the fore.

A soft sound rang out. The rock spear shot by the Purple Crystal Tortoise directly punched a hole through the strange bird’s head and body. The latter suddenly froze and fell from the sky.

“Eh? They’re actually a bunch of weaklings!” Zhang Che was overjoyed. He immediately ordered the Purple Crystal Tortoise to use its rock spear gatling skill, turning all the rocks stored in its body, despite the small amount, into spears and shooting them like a M61 Vulcan, hemorrhaging a huge amount of bullets for a short period of time.

A wave of pitter-patter noises rang out. The several dozen strange birds were turned into sieves almost at the same time, and fell from the sky like dumplings dropped into a pot.

“They’re really a bunch of weaklings, with no redeeming features! So bad!”

Now, Zhang Che was finally sure that these creatures were completely different from those found in the beast world. After their deaths, they would neither drop beast cards, nor would they turn into streaks of light and dissipate away.

This sudden encounter didn’t yield Zhang Che any rewards at all, giving him an unfamiliar feeling. However, to keep himself safe in this strange world was the greatest reward he could ever hope for. Zhang Che, too, knew that he mustn’t be too greedy.

After experiencing the ambush, Zhang Che understood that the skies of the secret world were too dangerous. Perhaps the next flying creatures he encountered would be so strong that he couldn’t put up any resistance.

The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon continued descending, his speed faster than the corpses of those strange birds falling. Zhang Che swept his gaze across those tattered corpses, shaking his head regretfully.

“Hmm? Something feels off…”

Zhang Che’s face suddenly stiffened. He finally remembered what was amiss.

Those strange birds were turned into sieves from the stone projectiles, but not a drop of blood had fallen!

Perhaps… they weren’t dead!

Just as he realized that, Zhang Che discovered that the wounds on those strange birds’ corpses were quickly closing, and were showing signs of life, mysteriously regaining consciousness.

“Damn it, they’re still alive!” Zhang Che furrowed his brows deeply. Powerful enemies were nothing to be scared of. It was only scary when they couldn’t be killed! No matter how weak they were, they would tire you to death, reviving again and again after killing them!

Zhang Che had no answer to this. He could only have the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon continue descending.

They were getting closer and closer to the ground.

The strange birds over his head regained consciousness one after another. They gathered together and dove down towards Zhang Che.

“Damn it, I really don’t believe you can’t be killed!” Zhang Che gritted his teeth, and ordered the Scarlet Flame Drake to activate the new skill it gained after advancing, Rain of Fire.

-Physical attacks might not kill you, let’s see if you can keep reviving after I burn all of you to ash!-

In an instant, the fire elements in the surrounding kilometer of space were quickly gathered to the Scarlet Flame Drake. Afterwards, they materialized into countless drops of scarlet rain in the air fifty meters around the Scarlet Flame Drake, shrouding the bunch of strange birds.

The fiery rain drops immediately burned and spread upon contact with the strange birds, enveloping their whole bodies.

Soundless miserable screeches rang out, penetrating Zhang Che’s spiritual sea, reminding him of the black wolf from last night.

-Could it be…-

As he expected, traces of mysterious energy directly seeped into Zhang Che’s spiritual sea in the next moment, repeating the events after the black wolf’s death, nourishing his soul through some unknown means.

After all the strange birds were burned to ashes, and several dozen traces of mysterious energy entered Zhang Che’s spiritual sea, he felt that his soul had become clearer, and his spiritual sense had improved considerably.

Everything around him seemed to become clearer, but it wasn’t in the sense that he could notice with his naked eye.

That fascinating feeling was inexplicable. Zhang Che almost moaned in pleasure. Without a doubt, the mysterious energy left behind after those strange creatures’ death was something greatly beneficial!

Even though Zhang Che had yet to realize what exact benefits that mysterious energy gave him, he knew that as long as he continued hunting those creatures and absorbing more of that energy, the changes would become clearer.

When a quantitative change led to a qualitative change, the energy’s real use would be brought forth.

-Could it be that this energy will allow one to attain the legendary divine sense?-Zhang Che guessed randomly. Due to the lack of references, he wasn’t able to make heads or tails of it. All of it could only be clarified in the future.

However, when he saw the black dots moving in the sparse mountain forest below, his eyes revealed hints of greed.

Zhang Che knew that he had already found out what benefits those strange creatures provided!
