Something must be up when an anomaly occurs!
The croakings were too sudden. Zhang Che had no choice but to stay alert, ready for any attacks that might come at any moment.
At the same time, he had the Purple Jade Condor give up on scouting the situation in the area and lower its altitude, circling about three hundred meters above him.
If any danger arose, the Purple Jade Condor could cover that much distance in just two breaths' time to provide reinforcement.
Zhang Che decided to keep the frisky monkey in his spiritual sea. The fellow didn't have much combat ability except for his archery skills. In such a complicated situation, where bow and arrows were unable to provide much help, he might even become a burden.
As such, Zhang Che only had one Original Combat Body type beast left other than the Purple Jade Condor, which was the Fiery Scorpion, whose strength was already falling behind the others.
Zhang Che had no choice but to face this issue. Before he reached Tier Four and was able to wield the Scarlet Flame Drake, the strength he could rely on was a little too weak.
His personal safety would become a problem if he got into a situation where flying beasts were rendered useless.
Although he had the Swamp Crocodile King armor now and a qualitative increase in his defenses, he couldn't possibly just act passively as a punching bag.
"No matter what, I have to get myself a few decent Original Combat Body-type beast cards before I return!" Zhang Che resolved inwardly. There was still about half a month's time until the universities' beastmaster examination. He might as well give up on doing this for a living if he couldn't even get his hands on a few decent Original Combat Body-type cards.
Let alone the fact that he already had the three-star dark gold-quality Purple Jade Condor, he also had the terrifying Scarlet Flame Drake waiting to contribute to his cause when he rose to Tier Four. If he still couldn't go on a rampage as he wished around the safety zone, he would simply be losing the face of every Qi Dian protagonist.
{TL: Yes, the author is breaking the Fourth Wall.}
The croaking sounds around him grew increasingly louder, and more concentrated.
However, Zhang Che still hadn't discovered where the strange croaking came from. He only felt like they were everywhere, but he couldn't pinpoint their location despite listening carefully.
"Could these be the powerful exotic beasts Wang Dong discovered? Impossible. If that was the case, given his strength, Wang Dong wouldn't be able to leave this swamp alive."
Zhang Che was suspicious. He had the Mutated Puffersword ready in his hand, and once any danger arose, he'd use the Sonic Wave attack to force open a path and return the way he came.
If all else failed, he could still get the Purple Jade Condor to ferry him away from this area if necessary.
Of course, Zhang Che didn't dare to ride on the Purple Jade Condor's back. If there happened to be a strong wind, he would likely fall into the water and drown.
His plan was to use the Rotten Ent Prowler whip to hang onto the Purple Jade Condor's leg if needed, allowing it to fly him out of here. As long as he held onto the whip tightly, it was unlikely that he'll fall during a short flight.
Gugu, gua!… A croak that was obviously different from the others suddenly belched out. Zhang Che's expression immediately changed.
After that, a wave of soft sizzling sounds rang out in all directions. Pale green water arrows shot out from the surrounding grasses, bushes, and even the lotus-like huge leaves at the same time, all of them flying in Zhang Che's direction.
The water arrows weren't fast; their trajectories could be clearly seen with the eye. There shouldn't be much force behind them, but Zhang Che complexion changed, nonetheless.
He could feel a strong threat coming from those arrows!
Zhang Che's quick wits came into effect in this dangerous situation. He snapped the lotus leaves around him and squatted down, holding these huge leaves over his head as cover.
Despite the water arrows' unimpressive speed, they were nearly upon him just as Zhang Che squat down.
The water arrows struck the wide lotus leaves, letting out a wave of crisp, concentrated splattering sounds.
The water arrows lost their strength as they struck the leaves, turning into ordinary pale green water. Some of the water flowed down, while most of it became water droplets, splashing in all directions, onto the bushes, grasses, or hitting other lotus leaves.
Zhang Che's complexion changed greatly, as he watched the plants' vitality flowing away as the water droplets struck them. The plants became increasing dry, their colors shifting towards a purplish black, leaving Zhang Che trembling from the shock.
-The water arrows are poisonous! And it's the kind that contains strong corrosive properties!-
Zhang Che immediately gave an order to the Purple Jade Condor without pausing to think. Afterwards, he tossed the withered huge lotus leaves away and turned to leave with quick steps.
The bushes rustled for a brief moment. The Fiery Scorpion emerged, its whole body plastered with faint green water droplets. Its carapace was gradually changing color, evidently suffering from serious corrosion!
Zhang Che hurriedly recalled it back to his spiritual sea with a wave of his hand, preventing this fellow from dying to the corrosive water.
The powerful exotic beasts Wang Dong discovered were definitely not these unknown mysterious toads. Not only that, he probably hadn't entered their territory at all. How could he still be alive otherwise?
Zhang Che lurched forward in the mud, nearly falling down a few times.
Actually, he wasn't worried that these water arrows would corrode his armor. In fact, what worried him the most was that unique croak from earlier.
It was obvious that there was a powerful king-figure among the toads, and it had yet to launch an attack on Zhang Che. It was most likely waiting for an opportunity to deal a fatal strike.
After receiving Zhang Che's order, the Purple Jade Condor's huge figure immediately swooped down, ready to rescue its owner from this area.
A fierce-looking long whip appeared in Zhang Che's armor-covered hand. Seeing the Purple Jade Condor closing in at high speed, he prepared himself to lash it at the bird's talons, coiling around them.
However, a sudden situation occurred right at this moment.
A red and black figure suddenly jumped out from a bush, leaping over twenty meters into the air, pouncing towards the descending Purple Jade Condor.
Zhang Che could vaguely tell that it was a toad as big as a bull, its entire body filled with red and black stripes, and concentrated pimple-like bumps on its skin. The bumps had a strange color, leaving anyone who saw them feeling uncomfortable.
What shocked Zhang Che the most was that there was a strange pattern on the toad's back, just below its head. It looked like a slightly narrowed demon's eye, ready to pick its prey.
"Exactly what level and quality is this Demon Eye Toad? It actually dared to challenge the Purple Jade Condor head-on!"
Zhang Che stopped in place. Under the cover of the Swamp Crocodile King armor, his face showed his astonishment...
