I Picked Up a Holy Dragon Egg at the Start of Beast Taming

"Squeak, squeak!"

The large rat beside him called out.

Then!

One person and one beast walked toward the village.

"A human village... I've finally made it out of this damned mountain range!"

At this moment!

In the forest not far from Holy Dragon Village.

A purple figure emerged from within.

She had two Phantom Beasts guarding her.

Her clothes were tattered.

She looked utterly disheveled.

Like a beggar.

This woman was none other than Zhu Yan Hua, who had been in Violet Volcano Valley!

After being saved by Chen Xuan!

She had intended to return.

However!

When she tried to go back, she realized!

The communicator and direction markers she carried had already been destroyed in the earlier battle.

By the Ironclad Lizard.

She had lost her sense of direction.

Stumbling along!

After walking for two days!

She finally saw a human village.

Chen Xuan had left her a few Spirit Fruits, which was the only reason she had managed to hold on until now.

But the moment she laid eyes on the human village.

Her last shred of resolve finally crumbled, and her body could no longer hold up.

She collapsed to the ground.

"Hey?"

"Girl!"

"Are you alright, girl!"

That was the last sound Zhu Yan Hua heard.

"Girl, you're awake! Are you alright!"

When Zhu Yan Hua opened her eyes and regained consciousness, the voice she heard was an old, weathered one.

"Old man, move aside, don't scare the young lady!"

"Hey now, old woman, the Dirui Ji's curse on me is already gone—I'm not scary anymore!"

"You still say that? You should go thank young Xiao Xuan!"

"I know, I've already thanked him six times!"

"Thanked him six times in one day—I feel like Xiao Xuan is about to grab a broom and chase me out!"

"The last time I went, Xiao Xuan was already going 'ugh ugh' and didn't want to talk to me!"

In truth, Uncle Zheng didn't know that the one going "ugh ugh" and not speaking was the Shapeshifting Tanuki disguised as Chen Xuan.

"Maybe you're just too annoying, and he doesn't want to deal with you!"

"You..."

The two voices seemed to be bickering.

Zhu Yan Hua looked up.

She saw an elderly couple.

Their faces were kind.

"Where is this?"

"This is Holy Dragon Village, girl—you're safe now."

Uncle Zheng began explaining things to Zhu Yan Hua.

Only then did she understand!

This was a village close to Gu Zhou City.

Well, it was only that the nearest city was Gu Zhou City.

Because the village was surrounded by mountains on all sides, even several hundred kilometers away from Gu Zhou City.

Chapter 33: I'm Just a Passing Frog

"Holy Dragon Village!"

Listening to Uncle Zheng's introduction.

And Zhu Yan Hua!

Also understood the situation here.

"Girl, stay for now and recover your strength!"

"I can tell you must have run into other powerful Phantom Beasts in the forest and ended up like this!"

"Yes, then thank you very much, Uncle Zheng!"

Hearing Uncle Zheng and his wife's words.

Zhu Yan Hua replied obediently.

She was completely disheveled, truly exhausted and needing time to recover.

"Woo—woo—woo!"

A loud sound rang out in Holy Dragon Village!

It was like the sound of a horn.

After hearing that sound!

Uncle Zheng and Auntie He's expressions changed drastically.

"Bad news, a powerful Phantom Beast is attacking our village!"

"How could this be, nothing like this has happened for a long time!"

"What's going on?"

"Uncle Zheng, what happened!"

Zhu Yan Hua, who was resting in her room, also heard the commotion outside.

She came out of the room and asked in confusion.

"Enemy attack, a Phantom Beast has come to attack the village."

Uncle Zheng explained to Zhu Yan Hua.

"Phantom Beast?"

"Take me to see it, I'm a Beast Master, I should be able to help you!"

Zhu Yan Hua said.

"How can that be, girl, your strength hasn't recovered yet!"

Before Uncle Zheng could say anything, Auntie He stopped her.

"Auntie He, my strength has mostly recovered!"

"There's no problem, don't let my appearance fool you, I'm a Gold Rank Beast Master!"

Zhu Yan Hua blinked!

At her age.
