Holy Dragon Egg

In the village, there was a single official Beast Master.

This was extremely important for the safety of the village.

Although there were no powerful Phantom Beasts around Holy Dragon Village, occasionally one or two Silver Rank or even Bronze Rank Phantom Beasts would wander in.

The villagers could only take shelter, waiting for the Phantom Beast to leave before daring to return.

For ordinary people, even the stronger ones, dealing with an Iron Rank Phantom Beast was already quite strenuous.

If they encountered a Bronze Rank or higher, they would be helpless.

Their village was far from any human city.

They had no way to learn the art of taming Phantom Beasts.

So when Chen Xuan reopened his dojo, they sent their children to learn from him.

"Xiao Xuan, you have to get justice for us!"

"Our cattle and sheep are gone. I suspect the neighboring village did it!"

Seeing Chen Xuan, the crowd acted as if they had found their pillar of strength.

With a proper Beast Master on their side, they would have much more confidence when confronting others.

"Everyone, don't rush. The cattle might not have been stolen!"

"They could have run away in danger!"

"Or maybe another Phantom Beast..."

Chen Xuan stopped the villagers who were about to charge into the neighboring village.

Hearing Chen Xuan's words, the crowd calmed down.

"That's right, Xiao Xuan is right!"

"Maybe they ran off when they encountered danger!"

"As expected of an experienced Beast Master, he analyzed a different possibility at a glance!"

After hearing Chen Xuan, they thought it over and realized it made sense.

Holy Dragon Village was surrounded by mountains.

Dangerous Phantom Beasts might be lurking nearby.

Their cattle and sheep might have indeed run off when threatened.

"Alright, everyone, first take me to your cattle sheds!"

Seeing the crowd settle down, Chen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed the villagers were reasonable.

"Good, my place is closest. Let's go to mine first!"

And so, the group marched in a bustling procession toward the middle-aged man's cattle shed.

After a while!

Chen Xuan had already visited several cattle sheds.

"Everyone, it seems I've found the thief!"

A mysterious and confident smile appeared on Chen Xuan's face.

"Thief? Where?"

"Find him quick! I'll make him plow ten acres for me!"

"That's right, my sweet potato field needs his work too!"

"Exactly, my..."

Hearing Chen Xuan mention a thief, the crowd grew angry.

"Everyone, follow me!"

Hearing their shouts, Chen Xuan didn't stop them. He just smiled lightly

and led the crowd out of the village.

Along the way, only Chen Xuan noticed a smooth trail on the ground.

There was a layer of mucus on the surface.

"It should be a frog-type Phantom Beast!"

Seeing that trail, Chen Xuan murmured to himself.

"Alright, we're here!"

"The thief is right here!"

After a moment, Chen Xuan led the group to a patch of abandoned muddy field.

"The thief? Where?"

"Xiao Xuan, you're not joking with us, are you?"

"Yeah, am I blind? I don't see anything at all!"

"Could it be the Emperor's Thief? Only smart people can see it?"

The crowd grew puzzled.

"Melody Butterfly!"

Hearing their doubts, Chen Xuan smiled.

Suddenly, a flash of light burst forth.

A beautiful butterfly with multicolored radiance fluttered in midair.

"A Phantom Beast, the Melody Butterfly!"

"I've heard of it—it's a rare Phantom Beast found in the mountains!"

"I never thought Xiao Xuan would tame one. Looks like he's already got some real strength!"

Though the crowd weren't official Beast Masters, they could still recognize certain Phantom Beasts.

"Melody Butterfly—I've heard that once it matures, it's at least Silver Rank. Could Xiao Xuan already be a Silver Rank Beast Master?"

The crowd was stunned!

"And that's not all. Since the Melody Butterfly is a sound-wave type Phantom Beast, it's extremely hard to tame. I can't believe Xiao Xuan actually caught one!"

"As expected of the Holy Dragon Dojo's descendant—truly accomplished at such a young age!"

"But what is Xiao Xuan summoning the Melody Butterfly for?"

The crowd marveled!

"Melody Butterfly, sound-wave attack!"

Just as they were wondering what Chen Xuan was up to, they saw him command the Melody Butterfly to launch an attack.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The sound-wave assault continuously struck toward the muddy field.

The entire field trembled.

"Croak!"

Suddenly, a deep, loud cry rang out as mud burst into the air.

A massive figure appeared before them.

It was a frog as huge as a small house, crouching there at five or six meters tall.

Its eyes were enormous, and it stared at the crowd with a somewhat timid look.
