*Holy Dragon Egg*

However, in Chen Xuan's place, they were everywhere.

Having so many spirit herbs and fruits would inevitably attract the covetous attention of other phantom beasts.

Of course, Chen Xuan had already considered this.

So he used the Shapeshifting Tanuki to disguise them.

From the outside, not even a trace of the aura emitted by these spirit herbs and fruits could be sensed.

Moreover, within the entire courtyard, Chen Xuan had tamed many phantom beasts to guard the place.

The lowest-level phantom beasts had already reached Gold Fifth-Order.

Among them, there were over a dozen Platinum Rank phantom beasts.

Chen Xuan believed that even if a Diamond Grade phantom beast arrived, it could be easily detained.

Of course!

In this area, such high-level phantom beasts generally wouldn't appear.

And with the Shapeshifting Tanuki's disguise, other phantom beasts simply couldn't detect anything here.

"Woo ah, woo ah!"

The phantom beasts cried out, crowding toward Chen Xuan.

"Everyone, don't rush! There's enough for all!"

Smiling, he distributed the spirit fruits to the phantom beasts.

They ate with relish.

Even the Nine Heavens Wind-Rain Dragon obediently stayed put.

It hadn't expected that there would be so many treasures in this courtyard.

Of course!

These phantom beasts were all under Chen Xuan's command.

Unless Chen Xuan actively fed them those things, they wouldn't dare steal a bite.

"Good, eat more so you can grow faster!"

And Chen Xuan was never stingy.

A faint light emanated from the phantom beasts' bodies.

Their forms were continuously growing.

Their auras were also rising.

"Rumor has it that the evolution resource Ink Spirit Heart has appeared in Violet Volcano Valley. Difficulty of acquisition: hard. Proceed immediately?"

"Ink Spirit Heart? That's a high-grade evolution resource. It can be used to evolve many phantom beasts!"

"Looks like I'll have to make a trip."

Looking at the system prompt, Chen Xuan grew excited.

Chapter 21: The Strange Child's Voice in the Mountains

"Azure Bamboo Sprite?"

"To actually see such a rare phantom beast!"

On the outskirts of Gu Zhou City, near the edge of the Azure Dragon Mountains, many Beast Masters were advancing toward the Azure Dragon Mountains.

Among them, a girl dressed in purple robes was also mixed in.

Staring at the strange phantom beast before her, whose entire body seemed made of bamboo, Zhu Yan Hua's phoenix-like eyes were filled with astonishment.

They say there are tens of thousands of phantom beasts in the world, but this kind was still very unique.

Azure Bamboo Sprite!

Its whole body grew like emerald bamboo, resembling a stick figure pieced together from bamboo.

Beneath the green bamboo leaves were a pair of bright eyes.

If it were mixed into a bamboo grove, it would indeed be hard to spot.

"They say this Phantasmal Beast is a Domain-type, capable of turning the surrounding area into a bamboo grove!"

"So it seems this entire bamboo forest is created by its energy!"

Gazing at the grove filled with verdant bamboo.

Zhu Yan Hua narrowed her beautiful eyes.

A purple light flickered faintly across her face.

"Pity, this Phantasmal Beast isn't what I need!"

"Ink Spirit Grass, I must find Ink Spirit Grass!"

A pained expression crossed Zhu Yan Hua's face.

Even so, leading her own Phantasmal Beast, she pressed deeper into the Azure Dragon Mountains.

"Holy crap, a Spiked-Back Tiger!"

"Run! It's a Silver Rank Five or higher Phantasmal Beast!"

"We're no match for it!"

In another area.

A group of people was being chased by a tiger whose back bristled with sharp spikes.

The tiger stood two meters tall and stretched several meters in length.

Roar!

Its massive jaws opened wide, biting down and killing a Beast Master's summoned Phantasmal Beast in one crunch.

"Gulding! Damn you, you bastard, you killed my Gulding! I'll fight you to the death!"

"Idiot, don't! You're no match for it!"

"Ah!"

The next moment!

A scream rang out.

A Beast Master's body was left in only two pieces.

"Hahaha, a Bright Sun Flower Fruit! I found a Bright Sun Flower Fruit! This is a second-rank spirit fruit—I'm rich!"

A Beast Master laughed heartily, spotting a bright red fruit with a fiery hue growing on a hillside.

But the next moment!

A cluster of heads surged forward.

Woo woo woo!

A pack of Phantasmal Beasts let out low, rumbling growls.

Their fierce eyes locked onto the Beast Master.

"Ah!"

The next moment!

That Beast Master's scream tore through the sky.

In the distance!

Other Beast Masters who heard the scream.

All stared in terror toward the direction of the sound.

Deep within the mountains.
