Divine Beast Adventures - Chapter 504: Unexpected Ambush

Edited by Aelryinth

The taxi drove along the road. It didn’t come across any ambushes from exotic beasts.

Of course, with Zhang Che in the car, nothing would happen even if exotic beasts ambushed them. Not only that, Zhang Che didn’t even have to make a move. The elemental queen could easily turn the exotic beasts to ash with a casual wave of her hand.

Exotic beasts that lived near cities wouldn’t be too powerful. Otherwise, experts among the beastmasters would have discovered them long ago and would have either killed them or driven them away.

Perhaps the taxi driver was feeling a little bored. He couldn’t help but strike up conversation, “Young bro, I see you have an imposing appearance and a contained aura around you. You’re probably a mid-tier beastmaster already, huh?”

Zhang Che chuckled. -This guy is funny. What imposing appearance, what contained aura? You think you’re telling a story here?-

Since the driver wanted to chat, naturally Zhang Che wouldn’t deny him and casually replied, “I barely made it into mid-tier. But I’m still too weak and I don’t even dare to go around saying that I’m a beastmaster. I’m afraid of embarrassing myself.”

“Aiya, young bro you’re too humble. Let me tell you. Although I’m really weak, only a Tier One beastmaster, I have ferried many big figures; my eyes are really sharp.

“With your aura, you have to be a Tier Five beastmaster at the very least, maybe even at Tier Six already.”

Zhang Che grew a little curious. -Can this guy really judge by appearance? He actually got a rather accurate tell on my strength!-

Screeeeech!

All of a sudden, the driver stepped on the brakes as he was boasting about himself and parked the car by the roadside. He pulled the door opened and ran off, holding onto his stomach. “Aiya, I’m really sorry, young bro! I might have eaten something wrong today at lunch. Please wait for a while; I’ll charge you fifty dollars less later!”

Zhang Che couldn’t help but find it funny. Luckily they weren’t on the highway, or they’d surely be rear-ended by the cars behind him seeing how this driver parked the car.

As Zhang Che watched the driver running into the woods at the side of the road holding his belly with his body bent, he wasn’t feeling impatient. He was going to rest a night in Yuanshan City anyway. Returning to the city a little later was no big deal.

“Hmm? Not right… That guy is only having a stomachache. Did he have to run that far?”

Zhang Che’s senses were much sharper than ordinary people. Although he had no interest in listening to others’ pooping sounds, he could clearly tell that the driver’s footstep sounds have gotten far away with no signs of stopping.

Something must be wrong!

Zhang Che immediately creased his brow. He focused his senses and scanned his surroundings.

In the next moment, his expression changed greatly. A five-colored light rushed out from his brow, turning into a dark golden armor and covering him from head to toe.

“Be careful!” Zhang Che warned the elemental queen at his side. He suddenly swung his arms, directly tearing the car roof apart and jumping out of the car.

At almost the same time, a mass of powerful energy suddenly erupted from the ground.

Intense flames, along with deafening explosion sounds, instantly engulfed the taxi on the road, as well as Zhang Che and the elemental queen, who had just jumped out of the car.

The explosion was incredibly violent. All of a sudden, the road surface was blown apart. Terrifying shockwaves spread in all directions. The taxi was immediately torn to pieces like paper. Spurred on by the shockwave, the debris slammed onto Zhang Che and the elemental queen.

The elemental queen wasn’t afraid of such attacks, however. She immediately used her abilities, turning herself incorporeal and allowing the blown bits to pass through her.

As for the violent shockwave, it didn’t cause much harm to her, either. On the other hand, Zhang Che was in a much worse state.

Although the Dark Gold Demonic Armored Worm was a six-star legend-quality armor with astonishing defense, shielding its wearer from an explosion like this perfectly, Zhang Che was only a mid-tier beastmster, after all. Despite having a much stronger physique than ordinary people, he was thrown over a dozen meters into the air by the shockwave regardless. He let out a low grunt, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Under the sudden ambush, Zhang Che didn’t consider which party had ambushed him. Instead, what he immediately thought of was nuclear warheads. -Damn it. Luckily they weren’t using nuclear warheads. If not…-

After all, during his recent trip to the secret plane, General Mihill had sent a group of beastmasters after him with a huge present prepared. Fortunately, thanks to the unique characteristics of the secret plane, they had no chance to use the miniature nuclear warheads against him, and had ended up as Zhang Che’s spoils of war instead.

However, this incident had left a dark trauma on Zhang Che. As a result, the first thought he had in his mind when the explosion went off on this ambush was nuclear weapons!

Thinking about it, if the ones who ambushed him this time had really buried a miniature nuclear warhead here, Zhang Che would have been severely injured even if he didn’t die on the spot. It would be impossible for him to recover without recuperating for a long time.

If it was really a nuclear explosion, even if it was a warhead with the smallest yield, it was highly likely that Zhang Che would have been instantly blown to bits during the explosion and directly vaporized by the terrifyingly high temperature.

Facing nuclear warheads, a beast card armor at only legend-quality was most likely not enough.

“Damn it, who is it that’s trying to take my life this time?”

Although the sudden ambush didn’t injure him much, if at all, Zhang Che grew furious regardless. He swore to himself that if he ever found out who it was behind this, he’d definitely make them pay ten times, or even a hundred times the price!

In mid air, after Zhang Che regained his balance with much difficulty, his expression changed greatly again!

The explosion earlier was only the start of the ambush!

A sharp whistle suddenly rang out from a tall hill to the right of the road. A few medium-sized missiles flew at him at high speed. A breath or two later, the missiles penetrated into the road Zhang Che was on.

Even more violent explosions rang out continuously!

Zhang Che felt as if he was like a broken ball, thrown around by the shockwaves in different directions after every explosion.

“Wah!” He finally couldn’t hold it in any more and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

The ambush wasn’t over yet! Zhang Che was still flying around from the shockwaves when a wave of cannons firing rang out from the hills on both sides of the road. Large caliber cannons fired at the same time, enveloping the area in concentrated cannon fire.

-Damn it! Did the military in Yuanshan City defect or what?!- Zhang Che thought, depressedly. He no longer cared about the falling cannon rounds and summoned all his powerful combat forces with a wave of his hand. Afterwards, he mounted the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon and directly flew towards where the cannon fire came from.

Passively taking a beating had never been Zhang Che’s style!

However, before the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon flew out, several powerful auras suddenly appeared around them and quickly converged on his location.

Zhang Che’s expression finally changed completely…
