Zhang Che naturally wouldn't let that exotic beast eat away his hope of leaving the beast world . The Purple Jade Condor flew forth at full speed . The wind a.s.saulted Zhang Che head on, making it hard for him to even breathe .

After close to a minute, they covered the distance of several kilometers . The Purple Jade Condor was already in the skies above the mountain .

“Hmm? Why are there two foreign girls… no, there's three!” What surprised Zhang Che was that the group helping each other forward on the mountain was actually composed of four women, three of which were freaking Caucasians!

After that, he overheard the conversation between them . They were speaking some foreign language, which he couldn't understand half of even if he tried .

More accurately speaking, if it wasn't for the memories left behind by his predecessors, Zhang Che wouldn't understand any of it . Speaking of which, his previous self worked really hard . In order to better research the minerals from the beast world, a student with poor grades like him actually learned English to a decent level, all for the sake of understanding the mountains of information in English .

“Strange… are these three Caucasian girls from some super rich families from the Ou Lu or Bei Mei regions, and came all this way to Hua Xia region to play?”¹ Zhang Che felt suspicious . Since the arrival of the new age over three decades ago, travels between the continents were almost severed unless they took the Sky Shuttle airplanes, which were able to shake off the powerful flying beasts living in the vast, uninhabited lands .

Even though the Sky Shuttle airplane services were mature and could be used to transport pa.s.sengers between countries, the expensive fare was definitely not something ordinary citizens could afford .

As for the possibility of these three women being the descendents of foreigners stranded in the Hua Xia region and unable to return to their home country, Zhang Che thought it unlikely .

If that was the case, they should be conversing in Mandarin with that Hua Xia woman .

As such, Zhang Che guessed that the three women were rich ladies from other regions who specially came to Hua Xia for vacation .

However, they even came deep into the beast world, and from the looks of it, didn't even bring a bodyguard with them . It seemed like their brains were a little flooded with water .

Just as Zhang Che was feeling doubtful of the situation, the four women saw him on the Purple Jade Condor's back . Each of them revealed looks of surprise on their faces . They waved at him, yelling, “Please! Help! Help!”

Zhang Che understood this sentence .

At this moment, the lion-like large exotic beast with tiny scales on its body had caught up to them, less than a hundred meters between it and its prey .

However, it suddenly stopped in place warily . It looked up at the approaching Purple Jade Condor, thinking that it was here to s.n.a.t.c.h its prey .

It let out a furious roar, warning the Purple Jade Condor . The mane on the scaly lion's neck was standing on end .

While he was looking through the Copper-Scaled Lion's attributes, that fellow suddenly let out a loud roar, nearly causing Zhang Che to fall off the Purple Jade Condor's back from fright .

“s.h.i.+t, is this the legendary Lion's Roar!?”² Zhang Che was a little enraged . He directly jumped off the Purple Jade Condor's back . During his descent, a huge two-meter-long sword suddenly appeared in his hand .

Zhang Che couldn't be bothered to let the Purple Jade Condor take care of a mere three-star gold-quality exotic beast . He alone was enough!

However, Zhang Che's actions were no different from looking for death in the eyes of the four women . He clearly had a powerful subdued beast, and yet he chose not to use it and had to go himself!

“Oh, d.a.m.n! Is that guy's brain damaged?!”

-Was he trying to play the hero in front of us?-

-But we don't fancy this type of brainless guy…-

In the next moment, however, their faces froze .

A scarlet-black streak of light flashed . The Copper-Scaled Lion couldn't escape in time . Its large, savage head flew in the sky, and it turned into a glow of light along with the headless corpse below .

The two ma.s.ses of light quickly gathered, and finally condensed into a s.h.i.+ny golden beast card . The four women were so shocked their jaws were gaping, not believing what they just saw .

At this moment, Zhang Che was like a celestial being, wearing full-bodied silver armor, and wielding the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword . He suddenly barged his way into the four ladies' heart… As it turned out, a human's strength could actually be this powerful, killing a powerful exotic beast with a single swing of his arm!

“Oh, my G.o.d, this is the perfect hero in my heart!” Monica couldn't help but blurt out, looking at Zhang Che, her eyes dazzling with light .

“Stop dreaming, you b.i.t.c.h . What if he was only interested in the exotic beast?” Jenny looked at Zhang Che warily .

-We're in the wild, and this man was so strong; what if he wanted to do something unspeakable to us? Should we give in, or resist?- Thinking of this, Jenny hurriedly pulled at her three sisters stealthily, signalling them to be careful with her gaze .

“Forget it, Jenny!” Monica instantly understood Jenny's intentions . Her eyes were filled with radiance, giggling softly, “This guy is so powerful . If he really wanted to do something to us, do you think we can escape?”

Jenny gritted her teeth in anger, “d.a.m.n it . Monica you b.i.t.c.h, aren't you afraid he'll rape us before killing us off?”

Who would've imagined, Monica shot a glance at her seductively, chuckling, “Then we'll just try our best to cooperate with him . If he's happy with our services, perhaps he couldn't bear to kill us then?”

Jenny could no longer be bothered with this p.u.s.s.y in heat . She took two light steps towards the approaching Zhang Che and said, “Thank you so much for saving us, mister . We'll definitely thank you properly when we get back to San Diego!”

In the next moment, Zhang Che's silver helmet fell apart, quickly melding into the shoulders of his armor, revealing his confused face .

“I'm sorry, can you speak Mandarin?” {TLN: Speaking in Mandarin}

Jenny and the other two Caucasian women were stunned . They turned to look at Chen Lishan in unison .

Chen Lishan looked at Zhang Che with a strange gaze . She used her rusty Mandarin and asked in return, “Excuse me, uhm, you… can't you speak English?”

Zhang Che was immediately baffled .  -Why do I have to know how to speak English?- However, he immediately felt something amiss . Although this black-haired woman was speaking Mandarin, her accent was very strange . It was like a foreigner who just started learning Mandarin not long ago was speaking the language, sounding very unnatural .

-Surely not…- A frightening thought flashed in Zhang Che's head .

Just as he was about to ask the question that was bugging him, he suddenly stopped himself, then said to the woman of Chinese descent, “Right, my English is pretty bad . I can't really understand you . ”

A hint of doubt flashed across Chen Lishan's eyes . Afterwards, she nodded, saying, “Then you must have come to the Bei Mei region from the Hua Xia region not long ago, right? Mmm, as time goes on, you'll slowly be able to socialize with the locals . ”

Zhang Che felt an explosion in his head .

-The Bei Mei region? The Bei Mei region!-

-You must be kidding me…-
