“Hmm? What’s this thing?”

Zhang Che immediately told Hanxue to stop. He turned around and scanned the area. His expression froze for a moment before revealing a joyous look.

========

Although the exotic beast was buried under the debris, and almost its entire body was submerged in the muddy water, Zhang Che immediately saw the exotic beast’s attributes despite only seeing a sharp claw exposed, its surface seemingly burnt.

In that instant, Zhang Che felt as if he struck the jackpot on the lottery. His heart pumped violently, his smile reaching from ear to ear.

This Scarlet Flame Drake’s attributes were truly too powerful!

It was so strong that even though this fellow was on the brink of death, Zhang Che didn’t dare to act recklessly.

It turned out that the tier above gold was dark gold!

Compared to the attributes of a gold-quality beast, a dark gold-quality beast’s attributes were like the difference between an ordinary exotic beast to the animals native to Mercury. The difference between the two was truly too great.

Just look at the overall attributes of the Scarlet Flame Drake. Leaving its innate attribute of fire mastery aside, that skill, Liquifying Scarlet Flames, was even more terrifying. It was actually able to melt steel instantaneously; how high of a temperature was required to achieve that?!

What made Zhang Che even more surprised was that the dark gold-quality Scarlet Flame Drake actually had a halo attribute!

Although there was no detailed explanation of the fire resistance halo, Zhang Che could roughly guess that the Scarlet Flame Drake would probably be unaffected by ordinary fire attribute attacks, unless it was a mythical-level beast like a phoenix that controlled fire. Only then would there be a chance of it being hurt by flames.

This was the true strength of the tier above gold-quality!

It was no wonder that Zhang Che had never seen an exotic beast above gold-quality. If there were more of such exotic beasts, it would be impossible for the humans on Mercury to withstand the invasion of exotic beasts thrice. They would directly go extinct.

Even so, this was only a dark gold-quality exotic beast.

What was the tier above dark gold, then?

From the potential of the Scarlet Flame Drake, it could be seen that its level and quality could be enhanced two more times. This also meant that there are at least two tiers above dark gold-quality.

No matter how low level an exotic beast was, at such a quality, it should possess devastating abilities, right?

Those were still very far from Zhang Che’s reach. Currently he was facing two very tough choices.

One, to pretend that he didn’t see this Scarlet Flame Drake buried under this mudslide, and turn around to look for an exit out of this mountain range.

After all, this fellow’s strength was truly too horrifying. Even though it was on the brink of death, it still had the power to kill Zhang Che in an instant.

Two, for Zhang Che to muster his courage and risk his life to kill the Scarlet Flame Drake. There was a certain probability of obtaining a beast card that he could only get in his dreams, and he would have a shockingly powerful subdued beast when his beastmaster tier rose to Tier Four.

If he chose to leave immediately, Zhang Che naturally didn’t have to bear any risks. However, he would also miss out on the chance to obtain a powerful subdued beast. On the other hand, choosing to kill the Scarlet Flame Drake that was already on the verge of dying, there was a high chance of him losing his life instead, though there was also a chance of obtaining an invaluable reward.

For a short while, Zhang Che’s expression experienced rapid changes, unable to make up his mind.

As for emulating the time when he tamed Hanxue, letting the rainbow crystal heal that Scarlet Flame Drake’s injuries in hopes of winning its favor and get it to become his pet, Zhang Che didn’t even dare to think of that.

Zhang Che would be tired of living if he really did that.

The Golden Elephorse King was a tamable, herbivorous exotic beast. That was why he had luckily succeeded. The Scarlet Flame Drake was a ferocious beast by all measures. Once it recovered a little of its strength and got a taste of the rainbow fog, it would surely gobble up Zhang Che without even spitting out his bones at the first opportunity it got!

After thinking for a long while, Zhang Che finally grit his teeth and decided to take his chances. “Damn it, I’m going all in! My life will change completely if I succeed in my gamble here!”

This Scarlet Flame Drake was already on the brink of death, anyway. With such grave injuries, it definitely wouldn’t be able to use its Liquifying Scarlet Flames skill.

Moreover, this exotic beast was almost buried under the mudslide entirely, and it didn’t even have the strength to crawl out. Even if it made its final retaliation, how devastating could it be?

-As long as I pay more attention, I will surely be able to kill it successfully!-

For safety’s sake, Zhang Che retreated far away and summoned the Fiery Scorpion, ordering it to crawl toward the exposed claw of the Scarlet Flame Drake.

Under such circumstances, the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly and Wind Shadow Wolf weren’t of any use at all. Zhang Che could only hope that the Fiery Scorpion’s stinger was effective.

The Fiery Scorpion followed Zhang Che’s command loyally. It quickly crawled over, crossing a puddle of water and went up the Scarlet Flame Drake’s exposed claw, stinging at its flesh.

“Pa!” The Fiery Scorpion’s sharp stinger directly snapped in two, yellowish brown fluid flowing out of it.

-It snapped? It snapped!? Snapped...- Zhang Che’s eyes went wide, nearly falling off from Hanxue’s back.

This was the so-called unparalleled defense in the Scarlet Flame Drake’s freaking attributes!

Zhang Che really wanted to curse out loud!

He couldn’t even penetrate its defense; what else could he do?

One had to know that the penetrative strength of the Fiery Scorpion’s stinger was exceptional. It could penetrate even a thin steel plate, and yet it snapped at the resistance of the Scarlet Flame Drake’s skin!

Exactly how strong was the defensive strength of this ferocious beast!?

Although the Fiery Scorpion failed to penetrate the Scarlet Flame Drake’s defense, the dying beast’s exposed claw twitched for a moment after being attacked, as if it wanted to climb out of the mudslide, but failed in the end.

Ah, that frustration in Zhang Che’s heart!

The Scarlet Flame Drake’s injuries were obviously so severe that it could barely move a muscle at all, yet he couldn’t do a thing to it. It really left one wanting to smash their head against the wall.

“What should I do? Do I make an attempt myself using the Mutated Puffersword to see if it can penetrate its defense?” Zhang Che was conflicted, not daring to take a step forward after hesitating for some time.

If the Scarlet Flame Drake were to gain a second wind for even a second, he would surely be killed.

The only solution was to see if the Mutated Puffersword’s Sonic Wave attack worked against it.

This was the only way Zhang Che could think of. If it failed, then he really had no choice but to give up.

Zhang Che summoned both Mutated Pufferswords, wielding one in each hand. He pointed them at the mudslide where the Scarlet Flame Drake was buried, activating both of their skills at the same time.

Two waves of invisible sound containing different levels of might burst forth, carrying Zhang Che’s hope with them!
