Holy Dragon Egg

Their bodies were covered in bruises.

Their spirits had already begun to wilt.

Worse still, on some Phantom Beasts and Beast Masters alike, wisps of black mist had appeared.

That was the result of infection.

If they didn't leave this place soon, and find a Phantom Beast capable of dispelling this source of fear to cleanse what clung to them, it would affect their Beast Mastery Power, and could even become life-threatening.

"Damn it, we can't even beat these puppets!"

This group of Beast Masters

were all Silver Rank for the most part.

Their Phantom Beasts only had one or two that matched their own Beast Mastery Power level.

In one-on-one fights, their Phantom Beasts couldn't even overcome those puppets.

And these puppets

weren't even the original bodies.

"Are we all going to die here?"

Some people began to show signs of despair.

At the same time, the black mist on them grew even thicker.

A light invisible to ordinary people flew out from him, seeming to head deep into the amusement park.

"What are you saying? Hold on!"

"Senior Gao Baigong has already gone to find its main body—we have to endure!"

"As long as we hold out until Senior Gao Baigong defeats the main body, we'll be freed!"

"That's right, we can't give up!"

"If we work together, we can hold off these puppets!"

Some of them regained their confidence, urging on those who had lost heart.

And at the sound of Gao Baigong's name, their eyes lit up again.

The mist on their bodies also dimmed slightly.

"That's right, as long as Senior Gao Baigong is here, we have hope!"

"Kill!"

"Ironback Turtle, show them what you've got!"

"Candy Clown, have some fun with them!"

"Biber Bird, take them down!"

The crowd suddenly surged with fighting spirit, charging at the puppets that were shambling toward them with a jeering, carefree gait.

Boom!

Just then, a thunderous sound rang out.

Then!

Right after that deafening noise, two figures came flying into their midst.

Rumble!

Massive bodies crashed down, bringing the crowd charging at the puppets to an abrupt halt.

"Th-the Golden Lion!"

"And... Senior Gao Baigong!"

When they saw the two massive figures crash to the ground...

Their eyes were already splitting at the corners.

Pupils contracted as they stared in disbelief at the battered silhouette.

Wasn't that Gao Baigong and the Golden Lion, who had gone to seek out the Terror Puppet?

"Cough, cough!"

Gao Baigong struggled up in a sorry state.

Leaning against the Golden Lion's back.

Blood spilled from his mouth.

"Everyone, I've let you down. Flee quickly—I'm no match for it!"

Gao Baigong said between coughs.

"Damn it, I never thought this thing would reach Platinum Rank!"

"That's not the Terror Puppet—what kind of Phantom Beast is that?!"

Gao Baigong stared in terror at the distance.

"Haha, fun, fun!"

A pleasant voice rang out, yet it sent chills down everyone's spine.

Within the thick mist.

A small figure gradually emerged.

Then!

What appeared before them was a cute little girl holding a doll.

The little girl had a pair of tiny wings on her back.

And atop her head grew two black horns.

Clearly, she was not human.

"Big brother, get up! Let's keep playing!"

"There are so many big brothers here—let's all play together!"

The little girl looked at the other Beast Masters.

Instantly, the other Beast Masters couldn't help but step back a few paces.

Fear etched across their faces.

A creature that could render a Gold Fifth-Order Beast Master helpless.

No matter how cute it looked, it was still a terrifying being.

"Wh-what are you saying, you monster? You're just a Phantom Beast, and you dare toy with us?!"

"Let's all attack together—kill it!"

"That's right, together—kill it!"

With someone taking the lead, the crowd found the courage to fight to the death.

They drove their Phantom Beasts forward to attack.

"Giggle, yay, yay! All the big brothers are coming to play with me!"

Seeing the Beast Masters charging their Phantom Beasts at her.

The little girl wasn't angry at all—instead, she clapped her hands in delight.

But the next moment!

Her expression turned stern, revealing a pair of terrifying eyes.

Rumble!
