Chapter 676 Treasure-hunting Quest

As there was still a significant strength gap between the Blazing Roc and the Thunder Water Beast, the roc was hit by a water bomb, and its right wing was seriously injured. It fell to the ground heavily. Zachary had to put it into the system first. Zachary had no other choice but to use the Beast Transformation Skill to borrow the Thunder Dragon Horse's power. The moment he activated the skill, the horse passed out and fell to the ground. Instantly, excitement coursed through him. As there was a time limit to use the Beast Transformation Skill, he couldn't merge the power of the Thunder Dragon Horse for a long time. Otherwise, it would not be good for both him and the horse.

Then, he activated the Shadow Pace. Together with the function of the thunder element, he almost turned into a thunder shadow. In an instant, he rushed toward the Thunder Water Beast that was about to return to the lake. He threw a punch and hit the beast's shield.

Bolts of lightning snaked through the water as the two forces collided. The sound released during the clash was as deafening as thunder.

As Zachary had merged with the thunder power of the Thunder Dragon Horse, his strength had improved temporarily. The power with thunder element released by him was more potent as well. As a result, his single punch destroyed the Thunder Water Beast's shield, and its transparent body became defenseless.

In the next moment, Zachary materialized an ice sword in his left hand. All of a sudden, Gisele appeared behind him, brandishing her sword in accordance with Lady Swordsmanship. Now, the Thunder Water Beast was surrounded by dazzling sword light.

A while later, the Thunder Water Beast fell to the ground.

"I will take your core," Zachary stated as he landed on the ground beside the Thunder Water Beast. Without hesitation, he cut the beast's body with his sword and removed the Thunder Water Beast Core.

The moment the Thunder Water Beast Core was extracted, the Thunder Water Beast released a weak howl. Then, its body suddenly brightened like the last radiance of the setting sun before withering into a dark corpse.

Then, Zachary reappeared before the Thunder Dragon Horse. He stopped the Beast Transformation Skill and returned power to the horse. Soon, the horse woke. It raised its head and glanced at him before slowly standing. It rubbed its head against his body as if it were asking for something.

"Well, I know what you want," Zachary said with a smile. He knew that the Thunder Dragon Horse must be eager for the Thunder Water Beast Core. So he put it in front of the horse.

The Thunder Dragon Horse immediately let out a cry of excitement and bit the Thunder Water Beast Core. However, as soon as it swallowed the core, it became irritable. Very soon, thunder began to surge around its body. As if out of control, the surging en

ary had found many treasures and herbs of Imperial Level, as well as casting materials. The trip had been fruitful indeed. But he still hadn't seen the Dawn Beast. This left Zachary feeling restless.

Three days passed by quickly.

After defeating a martial beast at the fourth grade of Imperial Level, Zachary and the Thunder Dragon Horse marched forward. Not long after, they saw a very strange forest. The entire forest was shrouded in wispy mist, which made it appear mysterious. Moreover, Zachary could see the faint outline of the top of a tower somewhere in the depth of the forest.

"You've found an unknown relic! Your discovery has triggered a random treasure-hunting quest. You must enter the unknown relic to hunt for treasures." Mimi's sweet voice filled Zachary's ears.

"A random treasure-hunting quest has been triggered now? Wow! Good timing!" Zachary didn't know whether he should laugh or cry. However, as the random treasure-hunting quests didn't often appear in the system, and the rewards were usually quite generous, so he didn't want to miss the opportunity.

Excited, Zachary entered the forest. As the forest was lush and dense, the mysterious white mist added to the sense of danger it emanated. Zachary was further on edge because of the strong auras of martial beasts that emerged from the forest covered in the white fog.

"I hope I won't die before I find the Dawn Beast," Zachary teased himself. Despite the humor in his words, seriousness reflected in his expression.

While the white mist in the forest was not too thick, visibility was only a few meters. In addition, the dense trees and plants and their intertwined leaves made it harder to see dangers. Fortunately, Zachary possessed the unique skills of the Dog Soul Ring and the Energy Perception Technique. Therefore, he could guard against any unexpected situation even though he couldn't see too well.
