Chapter Thirty-Nine: Thermal Imaging Snowy Owl

"Hopefully, the Holy Dragon really is protecting them!"

Inside the meeting room!

The voices gradually grew softer.

Dragon-type Phantasmal Beasts!

They were legendary existences everywhere.

The proud Dragon-type Phantasmal Beasts, even if their levels were lower than those of Beast Tamers,

were still not creatures that could be subdued easily.

That was because their bloodlines were all King-Grade or higher.

And the Holy Dragon!

It was a healing-type Phantom Beast.

If it truly existed,

perhaps it really could save them from this crisis.

But!

That was a thousand-year-old legend from Holy Dragon Village.

As for what the Holy Dragon looked like,

they had even forgotten that already.

Whether this thing truly existed

was still unknown.

It might also have been nothing more than an ethereal legend left behind by their ancestors a thousand years ago.

"Ah!"

Inside the meeting room,

there was nothing but sigh after sigh.

After that, it slowly fell silent.

Meanwhile!

In several villages—Bu Xin Village, Lotus Well Village, Niu Wa Village, and others—

coughing could be heard without end.

Low, suppressed moans echoed through the air.

The entire village was shrouded in black mist.

The lamplight was dim.

Every villager had a sallow complexion.

But even more terrifying than their sallowness was the despair written across every face.

In the dark corners,

pair after pair of deep-red eyes lit up.

They belonged to tiny rats.

Their eyes were ferocious,

as if they possessed human emotions.

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Thermal Imaging Snowy Owl

"Hahaha, Big Brother Zhao, this time, everyone in these villages is going to die!"

"The plan was a complete success!"

On a mountaintop in the distance from the villages,

watching the villagers of several villages sink into despair,

Zhang Beiting burst into loud laughter.

Beside him stood a gigantic rat and Zhao Yifeng.

"That's right. This time, it's our counterattack against the Federation!"

"We'll use these villages as experiments first. Very soon, we'll prove our strength to the organization!"

Zhao Yifeng's eyes gleamed.

"I heard that Jiangyuan City has already sent even more powerful Beast Tamers over there to cause trouble!"

"They're preparing to make a big move!"

"Damn it, it's only because our strength isn't sufficient yet that we can't go to a larger city and show off our abilities!"

Zhao Yifeng spoke with some indignation.

"Hehe, Big Brother Zhao, don't worry. Once we finish this job, the organization will discover our value!"

"Your Plague Source combined with my Plague Rat is simply a flawless combination!"

"The plague we produce isn't something other people's Phantom Beasts can cure!"

"Once the organization realizes our value, they'll reward us handsomely!"

"By then, our strength will be even greater. Wouldn't that let us show off our abilities even more?"

Zhang Beiting looked completely confident.

"You're right. As long as we cooperate well, there won't be any problems!"

Hearing Zhang Beiting's words,

Zhao Yifeng felt much more at ease.

But just then, he noticed that something was off with Zhang Beiting's expression.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Zhao Yifeng saw Zhang Beiting's brows draw together.

"Nothing. It's just strange. The Plague Rat whelps over in that place called Holy Dragon Village actually haven't reacted!"

"How strange. Clearly, all these villages have already been infected!"

"How come nothing has happened in that village?"

"What? Such a situation actually exists?"

Hearing Zhang Beiting's words, Zhao Yifeng was startled.

After all, the other villages had already developed exactly as they had planned.

Only one village was different.

That made him sense that something was not simple.

"Could there be something in that village capable of restraining the Plague Rat whelps?"

"It's possible, but these villages are basically full of ordinary people!"

"There shouldn't be any Beast Tamers there!"

"That's hard to say. It isn't necessary for a Beast Tamer to be present. Some Phantom Beasts naturally like living alongside humans!"

"For example, some feline Phantom Beasts enjoy being around humans. Perhaps there really is such an existence this time!"

"Let's go take a look!"

"Good!"

The two of them brought their Phantom Beasts and raced swiftly toward Holy Dragon Village.

"Snowy Owl, transmit the images you see to me!"

High in the sky!

A figure flew beneath the moonlight.

If one did not look carefully,

it was impossible to make out that figure at all.

The person sitting atop the Holy Light Dragon was Chen Xuan.

Beside him,

a strange Phantom Beast was fluttering.

It looked rather like an owl.
