"Eek eek!"
The big rat beside them squeaked.
Then!
The man and the beast walked toward the village.
"Human village... Have we finally escaped this damned mountain range?!"
At that moment!
In the forest not far from Holy Dragon Village.
A purple figure walked out from within.
She had two Phantom Beasts guarding her.
Her clothes were tattered.
She looked utterly disheveled.
She looked just like a beggar.
This woman was Zhu Yan Hua, the very same person from Violet Volcano Valley!
After Chen Xuan had rescued her!
She had planned to return.
However!
When she tried to go back, she discovered!
The communicator and directional marker she had brought had already been destroyed during the earlier battle.
They had been smashed by the Ironclad Lizard.
She had lost her way home.
Stumbling along!
Finally, after walking for two days!
She saw a human village.
Chen Xuan had left her several Spirit Fruits, which was the only reason she had managed to hold on until now.
However, the moment she saw the human village.
The last of her endurance finally snapped, and her body could no longer bear it.
She collapsed onto the ground.
"Eh?"
"Girl!"
"Hey, girl, are you all right?"
Those were the last voices Zhu Yan Hua heard.
"Girl, you're awake. Are you all right?"
When Zhu Yan Hua opened her eyes and regained consciousness, the voice she heard was an old man's.
"Old man, move farther away. Don't frighten the young lady!"
"Hey, old woman, the curse of Dirui Ji on me has already disappeared. I'm not scary anymore, am I?"
"You still have the nerve to say that? You ought to go thank Xiao Xuan!"
"I know, I've already gone to thank him six times!"
"Six times in one day! I feel like Xiao Xuan is about to chase me out with a broom!"
"The last time I went, Xiao Xuan was even mumbling and grunting, unwilling to speak to me!"
In truth, Uncle Zheng did not know that the one mumbling and refusing to speak had been the Shapeshifting Tanuki disguised as Chen Xuan.
"Maybe you're just too annoying, so he doesn't want to bother with you anymore!"
"You..."
The two voices seemed to be arguing.
Zhu Yan Hua looked up.
It was an elderly couple.
Their faces were kind.
"Where is this?"
"This is Holy Dragon Village, girl. You're safe now!"
Uncle Zheng explained everything to Zhu Yan Hua.
Only then did Zhu Yan Hua understand!
This was a village near Gu Zhou City.
Of course, Gu Zhou City was merely the nearest city.
The village was surrounded by mountains on all sides, and it was several hundred kilometers from Gu Zhou City.
Chapter Thirty-Three: I'm Just a Passing Frog
"Holy Dragon Village!"
Listening to Uncle Zheng's explanation.
Zhu Yan Hua!
Also understood the situation here.
"Girl, stay here for now and recover your strength!"
"I'm sure you ran into some powerful Phantom Beast in the forest, or you wouldn't have ended up like this!"
"Yes, then thank you, Uncle Zheng!"
Hearing what Uncle Zheng and Auntie He said.
Zhu Yan Hua answered obediently.
She was indeed in a sorry state, and after exhausting herself, she needed some time to recover.
"Woooooo!"
A tremendous sound rang out across Holy Dragon Village!
It sounded like a horn.
The moment they heard it!
Uncle Zheng and Auntie He's expressions changed dramatically.
"Oh no! A powerful Phantom Beast is attacking our village!"
"How could this happen? Nothing like this has happened in ages!"
"What's going on?"
"Uncle Zheng, what happened?"
Zhu Yan Hua, who had been recuperating in the room, also heard the commotion outside.
She walked out of the room and asked.
"An enemy attack. A Phantom Beast has come to attack the village."
Uncle Zheng explained it to Zhu Yan Hua.
"A Phantom Beast?"
"Take me there and let me have a look. I'm a Beast Tamer. I should be able to help you!"
Zhu Yan Hua said.
"How can you do that? Girl, you haven't recovered your strength yet!"
Before Uncle Zheng could say anything, Auntie He stopped her.
"Auntie He, I've almost recovered my strength!"
"It's no problem. Don't let my appearance fool you—I'm a Gold Rank Beast Tamer!"
Zhu Yan Hua blinked!
At her age.
