“Hmm? That exotic beast also wants to eat the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon?”
It was only now that Zhang Che realized something was amiss.
-Could it be that because these two guys are both of the cold attribute, and so they could raise their level or quality by eating one another?- Zhang Che immediately grew excited the moment he thought of this possibility.
If that was true, he only had to get his babies to wound that strange exotic beast badly and the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon’s wish could be realized. Perhaps his strength would increase greatly as a result!
When he thought of this, Zhang Che directly gave the Purple Crystal Tortoise the order to attack.
As it ran, the Purple Crystal Tortoise opened its mouth and aimed at the strange exotic beast about two hundred meters away, shooting a scarlet-gold bone spike invisible to the naked eye.
“Zi...!” An ear-piercing cry rang out. That exotic beast’s sense for danger was actually unexpectedly strong. It managed to dodge the Purple Crystal Tortoise’s supersonic bone spike attack at the crucial moment, receiving only a minor scratch from it, resulting in a few of its blue scales falling off. There basically wasn’t any damage done to it.
“Damn, is this guy an exotic beast beyond legend-quality!?”
Zhang Che suddenly felt that he should let his subdued beasts kill it and get a beast card out of it.
However, he immediately thought that it was already enough to have one cold-attribute subdued beast or pet, which the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon already fulfilled. If the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon could consume this exotic beast, his strength would definitely soar; there was no need to get another beast card.
The Cold Abyss Flood Dragon was an A-Rank potential beast; there was a lot more room for it to grow. How could ordinary exotic beasts compare to it?
While Zhang Che made up his mind to kill this exotic beast to feed the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon, the strange fellow on the other side also realized the Purple Crystal Tortoise was no pushover. It suddenly dove into the lake, disappearing from sight.
“It ran?” Zhang Che stared wide-eyed. Afterwards, he realized the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon was also intent on diving into the water.
historical
He hurriedly gave the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon the order to return to his side first.
That exotic beast’s strength was obviously higher than the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon. Giving chase just like that, without any plan, was just asking to be killed.
Although the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon was extremely unwilling, he didn’t dare disobey Zhang Che’s order, and could only emerge from the water and fly back to him.
When Zhang Che arrived at the lakeside with his babies and scouted around, the exotic beast was already nowhere to be found.
Zhang Che furrowed his brow. Since the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon wanted to eat that exotic beast so much, it was definitely greatly beneficial to him. How could he just let it go? The lake wasn’t too big, either, though it was unknown how deep it was.
Zhang Che suddenly thought of a solution. He instructed the Purple Crystal Tortoise at his side, “Give it a try. See if you can suck away all the water here.”
The Purple Crystal Tortoise immediately crawled up to the lake side and opened its mouth, sucking in fiercely. Afterwards, the water swirled up and flowed into the Purple Crystal Tortoise’s little mouth.
In no time, the remaining space in the Purple Crystal Tortoise’s unique dimension was filled with water, and the water level of the lake in front of them was visibly lowered.
“Good, continue!”
Since the animal-drawn water pump could come in useful in this situation, Zhang Che waved his hand wide and ordered it to continue with renewed effort, drawing out the water from the lake as quickly as possible. -We’ll see where that exotic beast could hide to now!-
In order to ensure the Purple Crystal Tortoise’s efficiency, Zhang Che had the Purple Jade Condor hold the Purple Crystal Tortoise with its talons and fly away to dispose of the water and immediately fly back.
Just like that, they flew back and forth, and the water level quickly fell. Soon, some shallow areas started to reveal the mud and rocks underneath.
“Soon! We’re getting close!” Zhang Che revealed a faint smile on his face. The Cold Abyss Flood Dragon at the side couldn’t hold himself back. He nearly dove right into the water.
“Why are you being so anxious for? This place will be sucked dry soon.” Zhang Che turned his head and scolded him in jest.
It was likely that the exotic beast sensed danger approaching. As the Purple Crystal Tortoise brought itself closer to the lake side and opened its mouth, about to suck in the water again, a blue silhouette suddenly shot out from deep in the lake; a mass of dark blue vapor flew in the Purple Crystal Tortoise’s direction.
However, Zhang Che had long been expecting this. The Scarlet Flame Drake, who had been standing by in silence at the side, suddenly opened its mouth and shot out a column of flames at the dark blue vapor.
The column of flames disappeared, and the dark blue vapor disintegrated, too.
The Purple Crystal Tortoise quickly stopped its sucking actions and aimed at the blue silhouette, shooting another bone spike at it.
A soft “chi” rang out. The exotic beast was unable to dodge this attack. A bowl-sized hole was punched through its waist-thick body. Blue blood flowed out from the wound, dripping into the lake. It instantly froze the water it touched, forming a thin layer of ice.
“What the heck, really!?” Zhang Che was shocked at the sight. He couldn’t help but take a few steps back, taking cover behind the Scarlet Flame Drake, afraid that the exotic beast would turn its head and breathe out a cloud of cold air his way.
During this short exchange, Zhang Che had finally seen this strange exotic beast’s attributes.

========
After seeing the Darkice Horned Python’s attributes, Zhang Che’s eyes nearly popped out from their sockets.
Its attributes were totally different from his prior understanding.
Let alone the fact that this fellow had a growing phase caption behind its name, it actually didn’t have a skill despite being a dark gold-quality exotic beast!
More importantly, this was the first time Zhang Che had ever seen a big question mark on an exotic beast’s Potential Attribute!
What did that mean? Could it be that the Darkice Horned Python had yet to fully mature and thus its potential was still unknown?
Zhang Che simply couldn’t make sense of it.
In order to understand what that actually meant, he probably had to wait until he encountered a second exotic beast in its growing phase.
For now, he’d better slay it as soon as possible and let the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon benefit from it. Didn’t it have a characteristic that specified it as being “a great tonic for cold-attributed beasts”?
Once he let the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon consume it, he would truly own a powerful ice-attributed pet. When partnered with the Scarlet Flame Drake in the future, they could truly unleash the devastating might of ice and fire.
After being struck by the Purple Crystal Tortoise with a bone spike and getting a hole punched through its body, the Darkice Horned Python was astonished. It quickly tried to dive back into the lake.
Alas, under Zhang Che’s orders, the Purple Crystal Tortoise was already aiming at the Darkice Horned Python’s core and unleashed its skill without hesitation. Close to half of the remaining hundred and six bone spikes shot out.
Just as the Darkice Horned Python tried to make its way into the water, the entire core of its body directly ruptured with a loud explosion. Large amounts of blue blood spattered everywhere.
