Holy Dragon Egg

"Hopefully, the holy dragon really is protecting them!"

Inside the meeting room!

The voices gradually faded.

Dragon-type Phantasmal Beasts!

They were legendary beings everywhere.

Proud dragon-type phantasmal beasts, even if their grade was lower than the Beast Master's.

Were not easily tamed.

Because their bloodlines were all King-Grade and above.

And the holy dragon!

Was a healing-type phantasmal beast.

If it truly existed.

Perhaps it could really save them from this crisis.

But!

That was a legend from a thousand years ago in Holy Dragon Village.

What the holy dragon looked like.

They had even forgotten by now.

Whether this thing actually existed or not.

Was still unknown.

It might just be an ethereal legend left behind by their ancestors a thousand years ago.

"Sigh!"

Inside the meeting room.

Only sighs remained.

Then, slowly, silence fell.

And at this moment!

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

Coughing rang out without pause.

Low groans.

The entire village was shrouded in a black mist.

Lamplight was dim.

Every villager's face was sallow.

But more terrifying than the sallow complexions was the despair written on every face.

In the dark corners.

Pair after pair of deep red eyes lit up.

They were little rats.

Their gazes fierce.

Almost human-like in their malice.

Chapter 39: Thermal Imaging Snowy Owl

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

"The plan was a great success!"

On a mountaintop far from the villages.

Watching the villagers sink into despair.

Zhang Beiting laughed heartily.

Beside him were a giant rat and Zhao Yifeng.

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

"First, we use these villages as experiments. Soon, we'll prove our strength to the organization!"

Zhao Yifeng's eyes gleamed.

"I heard Jiangyuan City has already sent stronger Beast Masters to cause trouble over there!"

"They're planning something big!"

"Damn it, it's just because we're not strong enough yet that we can't go show off in the bigger cities!"

Zhao Yifeng said somewhat unconvinced.

"Hehe, Brother Zhao, rest assured, once we finish this job, the organization will recognize our worth!"

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

"The plague produced can't be undone by anyone else's Phantom Beasts!"

"Soon, once the organization knows our value, they'll reward us handsomely!"

"Then, with our strength even greater, won't we be able to show off our skills even more!"

Zhang Beiting, on the other hand, appeared full of confidence.

"You're right, as long as we coordinate well, there's no problem!"

Hearing Zhang Beiting's words.

Zhao Yifeng felt much more at ease.

Just then, he noticed Zhang Beiting's expression turn strange.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Zhao Yifeng saw Zhang Beiting's brow furrow.

"Nothing, just strange—the Plague Rat spawn over at that village called Holy Dragon Village isn't reacting!"

"How odd, all these other villages have already fallen victim!"

"That village seems to have nothing wrong?"

"What? That's actually the case!"

Hearing Zhang Beiting's words, Zhao Yifeng was somewhat surprised.

After all, the other villages had all gone according to their plan.

Only one village was different.

This made him sense something unusual.

"Could it be that there's something in that village that can counter the Plague Rat spawn?"

"Possible, but these villages are mostly ordinary people!"

"There shouldn't be any Beast Masters around!"

"Hard to say—it doesn't necessarily require a Beast Master. Some Phantom Beasts naturally enjoy being around humans!"

"For example, cat-type Phantom Beasts like to stay close to people. Maybe this time there's one like that!"

"Let's go, we'll take a look!"

"Alright!"

The two of them, along with their Phantom Beasts, rushed swiftly toward Holy Dragon Village.

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

High in the sky!

A figure flew under the moonlight.

If you didn't look closely.

You wouldn't even make out the figure.

Sitting atop the Holy Light Dragon was none other than Chen Xuan.

And beside him.

Fluttered a strange Phantom Beast.

It looked somewhat like an owl.
