A small purple figure moved through this valley.
It was a Phantom Beast that looked like a purple sable.
A pair of lively eyes were looking around at something.
It seemed to be a Phantom Beast that had come out to forage.
Rumble!
Suddenly, a huge explosion sounded.
"Chu-mi!"
That sable-like Phantom Beast.
Was instantly startled.
Its body shot up, leaping seven or eight meters into the air.
It fled in terror into a nearby cave.
Leaving only a pair of jet-black eyes.
Staring uneasily at the source of that massive figure.
Rumble!
The sound of heavy, ponderous footsteps rang out.
Only to see, behind the massive stone gate.
A huge figure was moving.
"Who would have thought, it's actually this powerful!"
"Pfft!"
A graceful figure, along with her Phantom Beast, was sent flying backward.
This person was none other than Zhu Yan Hua, who had come to Violet Volcano Valley!
"Ah!"
Blood spilled from her mouth.
At the same time!
A pained expression appeared on her face.
Purple patterns surfaced on her cheeks.
Even!
Slowly, a purple glow began to emanate from her body.
Then!
It was just like the burning violet flames within the valley.
Zhu Yan Hua's body was also entwined and burning with clusters of purple flowers.
Accompanied by the blood seeping from the corners of her mouth.
It carried a unique kind of beauty.
A beauty of desolation.
Ink Spirit Fire!
This was a special kind of flame.
A thing caused by a Phantom Beast called Banyoula.
Several months ago!
Zhu Yan Hua had ventured deep into a valley to gather spirit fruits.
Unexpectedly, she encountered Banyoula.
She then drove off her Phantom Beast and engaged that Phantom Beast in battle.
However!
She carelessly fell victim to Banyoula's special innate skill.
The Ink Spirit Fire Curse!
This was a terrifying flame.
It lodged itself within its host.
It would continuously burn away the host's life force.
The flame could not harm others.
But it could slowly consume the host's life.
Until all of its life force had been completely absorbed.
And the only thing that could break Banyoula's innate skill curse—
Was Ink Spirit Grass!
Ink Spirit Grass was a type of spiritual herb.
Zhu Yan Hua had come here precisely to find Ink Spirit Grass.
To dispel the Ink Spirit Fire poison on her body.
However!
Every corner of the Azure Dragon Mountains—
Was filled with immense danger!
Within here—
Dwelled many powerful Phantom Beasts!
Roar!
A massive roar sounded ahead of Zhu Yan Hua.
A giant Phantom Beast, five or six meters tall, shifted closer.
It turned out to be a gigantic lizard Phantom Beast!
A thick layer of armor covered its body, radiating a chilling gleam.
No one would doubt its defensive power.
Its enormous claws lightly scraped against a rock.
Reducing that massive stone to powder.
"Who would've thought I'd run into an Ironclad Lizard here!"
Zhu Yan Hua looked at the lizard Phantom Beast approaching her and said with some self-mockery.
This was a Phantom Beast with incredibly powerful innate abilities!
Both its defense and attack were top-tier.
It could generally grow to Gold Rank.
Or even Platinum Rank and above.
Rumble!
The Ironclad Lizard strode toward Zhu Yan Hua.
Its eyes gleamed with a covetous gaze.
Saliva even dripped from its mouth.
For a carnivorous Phantom Beast like it—
Zhu Yan Hua was its prey.
Whoosh whoosh!
Suddenly, two figures blocked Zhu Yan Hua's path.
One was a giant butterfly, a Prismatic Butterfly.
The other was an adorable pink Phantom Beast with large ears.
They stood before the Ironclad Lizard.
Their gazes firm.
But the next moment!
The Ironclad Lizard's eyes showed disdain, and it swept its tail.
Rumble!
