Chapter Thirty-Four: Is This a Village Where Monsters Gather?

Thud, thud!

Meanwhile, the Ironclad Lizard wore a smug, triumphant smile.

It looked utterly high-spirited.

Like a petty man drunk on sudden success, it leisurely advanced toward the village, taunting them.

"It actually came to this? The Ironclad Lizard drove me to the brink twice!"

Zhu Yan Hua gave a bitter smile.

"No one's coming to save me again, are they?"

For some reason, Zhu Yan Hua thought of the figure in black armor.

Just then!

Whoosh!

The sound of something piercing through the air rang out.

The Ironclad Lizard's body abruptly stopped.

A scarlet tongue pierced straight through its entire head.

Rumble!

Then its enormous body collapsed.

"Croak, croak!"

And nearby!

A huge frog wore an utterly calm expression.

Then!

Thud, thud!

With enormous leaps, it bounded toward the fields.

Leaving behind only the dumbfounded Zhu Yan Hua and the people of Holy Dragon Village.

Chapter Thirty-Four: Is This a Village Where Monsters Gather?

"Wow!"

A sudden uproar erupted from the crowd.

"It's a Field King Frog!"

"Good stuff! Way to go, little frog's mom!"

"Damn, is this Field King Frog really that powerful?"

"It took down that giant lizard in one move!"

"If not, what did you think? That it only knew how to eat bugs?"

"The village chief and the elders praise it to the skies. It's practically the guardian deity of our village!"

The villagers began exclaiming in amazement.

As for Zhu Yan Hua, she was completely dumbfounded!

A Field King Frog!

This Phantom Beast, which had often appeared around the village in the past.

She had naturally heard of it.

A King-Grade Phantom Beast!

The Field King Frog!

A Phantom Beast with a King-Grade bloodline.

It was two grades stronger than her Elite-Grade Phantom Beast.

"Croak, croak!"

What shocked Zhu Yan Hua even more was this!

Far away, beside that enormous Field King Frog,

two smaller frogs were hopping about merrily.

A Phantom Beast with a King-Grade bloodline!

And a nearly extinct Phantom Beast like the Field King Frog at that.

In this plain, unremarkable village,

there were actually three of them?

Looking at the way they behaved,

they seemed to be creatures guarding the village.

Clearly, they had already learned to live harmoniously with its people.

"Did you see that? After my Bingo was eaten back then, I didn't hold a grudge at all!"

"I even risked my life to protect it. See? This is my reward now!"

"Quit bragging. You were the one screaming the loudest back then!"

"Xiao Xuan really had foresight when he decided to keep the Field King Frog!"

"Damn it, Old Deng, you're exposing my embarrassing past! I'll fight you!"

"All right, all right, stop arguing. Hurry and carry this giant lizard's corpse back!"

"We'll have plenty of meat to eat now!"

"I heard that eating the meat of high-level Phantom Beasts can also increase Beast Mastery Power. Maybe we'll even have a chance to become advanced Beast Tamers!"

"That's right. I have to feed more of it to my Hu'er. Maybe he'll be able to go study in the city someday!"

"Study my ass. Why not have him study under Xiao Xuan? I think he's pretty capable!"

"Girl, the injuries you suffered just now don't look quite right to me!"

While everyone was cheering,

only Uncle Zheng helped Zhu Yan Hua to her feet.

He had clearly observed the strange condition of Zhu Yan Hua's body just now.

It was quite similar to what had happened when he was cursed by Dirui Ji.

"I'm fine. It's just a minor problem!"

"My guess is that you were affected by something belonging to a powerful Phantom Beast, which caused you to end up like that just now, right?"

Uncle Zheng smiled.

"How do you know?"

Zhu Yan Hua was somewhat surprised.

She was amazed that Uncle Zheng had instantly guessed that the Ink Spirit Fire was the cause of her condition.

"What is the deal with this village?"

"It has King-Grade Phantom Beasts guarding its fields, while an ordinary old man immediately recognized that my injuries were caused by a Phantom Beast!"

On the surface, Zhu Yan Hua was only slightly surprised.

But inside, her thoughts were already surging like stormy seas.

"That's right. My injuries were caused by a Phantom Beast!"

"It's an old problem!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Yan Hua felt somewhat sorrowful.

The Ink Spirit Fire had hollowed out her body.

She probably wouldn't last more than three months at most.

No, perhaps not even a month.

"Didn't you seek treatment from a Beast Tamer physician?"

"I did, but it didn't help!"

Naturally, Zhu Yan Hua had sought out many physicians over this matter.

But every one of them had been helpless.

In the end, one physician identified the Ink Spirit Fire Affliction caused by this Banyoula.

Only the sap of Ink Spirit Grass could dispel it.
