Divine Beast Adventures Chapter 195 - Double Skill!

Edited by Aelryinth

“Tsk, tsk. I didn’t expect those purple spiritual fruits to have such an effect. The Rock Tortoise looks much prettier than before!” After praising it a little, Zhang Che couldn’t help but rejoice. Luckily he wasn’t greedy enough to eat the three spiritual fruits himself during the intense situation earlier. Otherwise, if he became like the Rock Tortoise, wouldn’t Miss Tienan kill him?

Thinking of her, Zhang Che felt slightly down.

-Ai, I’ve already gone missing for some time. Who knows if she got the news already? If she did, who knows how worried she’d be…

-Luckily, I already have two legend-quality babies. As long as I walk out of this dangerous area, I’ll probably encounter other beastmasters very quickly, and I can then ask about where the safety zone is. It shouldn’t be long before I can return to Jin City.-

-Heh, I wonder if I can still take part in the test when I get back? Also, after I return, how should I explain my disappearance?

-That’s simple; I’ll just say I don’t know anything. I fainted and found myself extremely deep in the beast world when I woke up. Who cares if they don’t believe me? Even if they don’t, they have no way of proving it.-

“Mmm, I’ll say just that. I really can’t explain it otherwise!”

After getting his story straight for when he returned, Zhang Che peered into the Rock Tortoise’s spatial pocket via their spiritual link. He wondered if this fellow’s spatial pocket expanded, and if yes, by how much?

However, in the next moment, Zhang Che froze on the spot, his eyes filled with shock.

“My money…!”

The Rock Tortoise’s spatial pocket had indeed expanded by quite a bit, and far exceeded Zhang Che’s expectations. It increased from the original twenty cubic meters or so to a small-sized warehouse about ten meters in dimension all around, or a thousand cubic meters.

There was now a thousand cubic meters worth of s.p.a.ce; Zhang Che didn’t have to worry about running out of s.p.a.ce in the future.

However, this s.p.a.ce was currently empty…

Close to ten cubic meters worth of purple-gold crystal vanished; the huge pile of t.i.tan Python meat was gone. His two strong bows, and the complementary arrows were also missing; a few dozen kilograms worth of compressed biscuits and some miscellaneous items were all lost…

Zhang Che felt his vision turning black and he nearly collapsed on the ground.

The other stuff didn’t matter as much. What was important was the ten-cubic-meters, a few dozen tons worth of purple-gold crystal. There wasn’t even a speck of it remaining! It truly was like having toiled for decades and reduced to square one again.

-b.l.o.o.d.y h.e.l.l, what exactly is going on…

-Could it be that when the Rock Tortoise was advancing, the items stored in its spatial pocket would disappear following its expansion?

-If I knew that earlier, I would have poured out everything first!-

Now, the joy brought about by the Rock Tortoise’s advancement was washed away. Zhang Che even felt so sorrowful, as if life no longer had any meaning.

Looking at the severely compressed Rock Tortoise before him, Zhang Che mumbled sorrowfully, “Say, why did I choose to let you advance in the first place? Why didn’t I think that there would be an accident when the spatial pocket expanded and poured out my items beforehand? I’m so silly, really…”

The Rock Tortoise stuck out its small purple head, looking at Zhang Che with its rounded eyes, not expressing any opinions.

“Forget it; whatever happened, happened. There’s no way to fix it. Let’s see what your attributes are like after reaching legend-quality.”

Zhang Che’s mouth slowly widened, and widened some more. His jaw nearly dislocated!

-It’s strong. Super strong. Super super super…

-Purple Crystal Tortoise… Purple Crystal Tortoise!-

Zhang Che finally understood what happened. It turned out that the invaluable mountain of purple-gold crystals didn’t vanish from the secondary dimension out of nowhere. Instead, they were mixed into the Rock Tortoise for some unknown reason when it advanced in quality, turning it into what it was now.

From now on, this fellow had simply become an unkillable c.o.c.kroach!

Non-G.o.d-tier physical attacks wouldn’t be able to penetrate its defense; what kind of supreme physical defense was this? Zhang Che simply couldn’t imagine it.

Not only that, this fellow also provided very strong defenses against energy attacks. It was actually able to directly absorb and nullify energy attacks by half, in addition to its originally decent energy attack defenses. Perhaps all energy attacks below divine-tier wouldn’t be able to deal much damage to it!

Although Zhang Che didn’t know how many tier differences were there between divine and legend quality, they were definitely extremely rare existences. It was likely that he wouldn’t come across such powerful exotic beast for a very long time.

Other than its untouchable supreme defenses, the Rock Tortoise’s attack strength wasn’t to be underestimated, either.

It could compress the rocks in its body, shaping them into spears, then accelerate them within the secondary dimension and shoot them at supersonic speed!

Although he didn’t know exactly how much faster than the speed of sound could they reach, its might would surely be very satisfactory. Perhaps it was as destructive as a medium caliber cannon’s armor-piercing sh.e.l.l.

What surprised Zhang Che most was the Rock Tortoise… no, it should be called Purple Crystal Tortoise now! The Purple Crystal Tortoise actually had a super strong skill that transformed it into an armor, providing the beastmaster with excellent defenses, lasting for a whole hour!

Of course, its cooldown time wasn’t short, requiring a full day…

Even so, this was sufficient to leave Zhang Che overwhelmed with emotions.

Now that Zhang Che possessed impressive strength, he could display exceptional close combat prowess if he was equipped with a complementing weapon. The only thing he lacked was a good defense.

And now that he had the Purple Crystal Tortoise’s Purple Crystal Armor skill, Zhang Che was confident that he could even fight against dark gold-quality exotic beasts, given that they weren’t too big for him.

“In that case, although I lost the valuable purple-gold crystal, I gained even better defensive and attacking strength in exchange. In addition, my storage s.p.a.ce also increased explosively… All in all, I still gained!”

As for why such a phenomenon occur when the Rock Tortoise was advancing, Zhang Che could realize the underlying reason why even if he was thinking with his toes. Other than the rainbow crystal, what else could be the cause?

Although Zhang Che was already used to all kinds of wonder made possible by the rainbow crystal, he still couldn’t help but sigh repeatedly, -What exactly is this miraculous prism-shaped crystal?-
