Someone else is here?

"Roar~"

Another Velociraptor stepped out.

Except for Zhou Yuan and the Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix, no one else knew there were two Velociraptors here.

Seeing the second Velociraptor suddenly appear, everyone couldn't help but be shocked; there were actually two of them!

Although the Velociraptor was only a level-seven Magic Beast, they were very rare. It was hard to see even one, let alone two.

For a moment, many people felt a sense of relief in their hearts. If they had rashly barged in earlier and encountered two Velociraptors, they likely would have never returned.

However, many also felt confused; where did these two Velociraptors come from?

Facing the Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix and Zhou Yuan, the two Velociraptors felt an innate fear. But with Fang Yun as their "backing," the state the two Velociraptors displayed was not much different from usual.

They even seemed a bit more arrogant than usual.

"Roar~"

The slightly larger Velociraptor suddenly let out a furious roar.

The behemoth before them opened its blood-stained maw, and a scent of blood even wafted out.

Following that, the roar of the Velociraptor spread throughout the surroundings, accompanied by a trace of dragon might that made many people tremble.

Zhou Yuan watched the state of the Velociraptors and sensed something different.

When low-level Magic Beasts encounter high-level ones, even if they don't submit, they are usually extremely cautious. Especially when facing a Saint-level Magic Beast, even a level-nine Magic Beast would be in a state of submission.

But these two level-seven Velociraptors were barely affected?

The Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix naturally noticed this as well.

Usually, Magic Beasts couldn't even stand steadily when facing her; how could these two little things resist her pressure? Not only that, but they could even actively release their own meager dragon might?

It seemed this place was truly extraordinary.

Before the Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix could speak further, the Velociraptors chirped a few times, stating the conditions for entering the small valley.

Afterward, the two Velociraptors blocked the entrance to the valley like small mountains, their blood-red eyes scanning everyone, white smoke constantly puffing from their nostrils.

Everyone watched the behavior of the two Velociraptors, completely baffled; only the Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix could understand what the Velociraptors were saying.

Zhou Yuan naturally guessed what the Velociraptors might have said, but since he couldn't understand them, his brows furrowed.

"Hehehe, interesting."

The Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix was not angered by the "disrespect" of the Velociraptors; instead, she was quite interested in what they had to say.

They had to be defeated to enter?

This couldn't be a rule they set themselves, otherwise, they would be courting death.

Beyond that possibility, the most likely scenario was that someone had given them orders.

Could it be the master of this place?

The intelligence of the Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix was far higher than that of humans, and it was easy for her to deduce many things.

Coupled with the previous anomalies and the existence of the light barrier, it was easy to guess that if there was a master here, it must be an existence beyond the Saint-level.

Thinking of this, some ripples appeared in the heart of the Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix; what could be above the Saint-level?

Fang Yun was in mid-air.

Watching this scene, he felt there had been a slight oversight.

Since these Velociraptors weren't at the Saint-level, they couldn't speak human language, and the human experts wouldn't know the rules, which would inevitably lead to some trouble later.

However, Fang Yun wouldn't intervene again; even if some fighting broke out because of this, it didn't matter.

He would just consider it adding to the fun.

Hearing the rules from the Velociraptors and wary of the potential "master," the Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix didn't ask why such rules existed and flew straight toward the valley.

Her speed was so fast that even Zhou Yuan's eyes narrowed; what a terrifying speed.

Even the Velociraptors guarding the valley didn't react in time before the Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix had already entered the interior.

Panic rose in Zhou Yuan's heart; he couldn't let this creature seize the opportunity.

Following that, Zhou Yuan also rushed directly toward the valley.

As for the two Velociraptors, he didn't take them seriously.

He had even prepared himself for the two Velociraptors to block his path. But to his surprise, when he flew past, the Velociraptors didn't move an inch.

Could it be that these Velociraptors wouldn't stop those who entered?

A doubt flashed through Zhou Yuan's mind.

But soon, he had no time to think about it.

Right before his eyes, the Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix flew onto the "platform," and then the platform suddenly lit up with light before disappearing without a trace.

Gone?!

Zhou Yuan's eyes narrowed, and his figure came to a sudden halt.

Faced with this sudden, bizarre scene, he couldn't help but feel a surge of suspicion and a chill run down his spine. What was going on?

A Saint-level Magic Beast, just gone like that?

How could this be possible?

He simply could not comprehend the sight before him.

Outside the small valley.

Seeing that both Zhou Yuan and the Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix had entered the small valley.

The remaining people immediately grew nervous.

With a Saint-level powerhouse present, they naturally hadn't worried about the two level-seven Velociraptors. But now, facing these two Velociraptors themselves, they were naturally terrified.

"Mayor, this..."

A warrior couldn't help but speak in a low voice.

"Don't worry, since these Velociraptors didn't stop Lord Fire Saint, it means they won't stop those entering the valley."

The mayor forcibly suppressed his own nervousness and analyzed the situation cautiously, "Perhaps they won't do anything to us."

"Then..."

The warrior looked at the Velociraptors' blood-red eyes, sweat beading on his forehead, his voice trembling, "...should we still enter the valley?"

"Since Lord Fire Saint has already gone in, we don't need to go. We'll just wait here for the other lords to arrive."

The mayor spoke directly.

Enter the valley?

He would have to be insane to go over there. If a Saint-level powerhouse were leading them, he wouldn't mind, but now, he'd rather not.

"Carefully back away first..."

The mayor watched as the Velociraptors lowered their heads to look at them, swallowing hard as he whispered.

Whoosh!

Seeing the group carefully retreating, one of the Velociraptors seemed to show a hint of disdain, suddenly exhaling sharply as white smoke instantly billowed from its nostrils.

Everyone caught the scent, and even though their expressions changed, they still dared not act rashly.

Anyone would have weak knees when facing two such behemoths.

However, seeing that the group had no intention of foolishly trying to enter, the Velociraptors couldn't be bothered to pay them any more mind.

Under normal circumstances, if they encountered these humans, they would certainly have ended up as their rations.

But now, they had a higher task, so they didn't care much about these rations.

The Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix naturally didn't know that her sudden "disappearance" had made Zhou Yuan hesitate.

She only knew that a burst of light had suddenly appeared on the platform beneath her feet. Just as a sense of vigilance rose in her heart, a wave of dizziness washed over her mind. By the time her vision cleared, the surrounding scenery had already changed.

The Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix was instantly stunned.

However, perhaps due to her vigilance, her figure instantly expanded, eventually becoming a giant bird the size of a house.

Her dark golden eyes were filled with caution as she carefully surveyed the endless ocean surrounding her.

In the Dark Forest, within the Metal Castle.

Beirut suddenly raised his head, looking toward the South Sea, somewhat surprised, "Someone came again?"

He knew from the previous few people that this magic array led to a Material Plane called "Blue Star." But he hadn't expected the visitors to be so frequent. It had only been ten days since the last five people arrived.

Could it be that on "Blue Star," this magic teleportation channel was used at will?

"Eh? It's actually a Saint-level Magic Beast?"

Beirut was somewhat surprised, "A Magic Beast with a trace of Phoenix bloodline?"

Although the Phoenix was not as powerful as the Vermilion Bird of the Four Divine Beasts, it was still a very formidable existence, and true divine Phoenixes were extremely rare.

With Beirut's discernment and strength, he could tell a thing or two just from the characteristics of the Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix.

"Interesting."

As the words fell, Beirut's figure instantly vanished.

Perhaps he could obtain more information from a Magic Beast of this level.
