Chapter 11: The Enormous Phantom Beasts Fighting Over Resources

Boom boom boom!

In a valley some distance from Holy Dragon Village.

The sound of enormous explosions kept coming.

"Roar!"

A massive monster's roar, like that of a primordial beast.

That voice was filled with frenzy and cruelty.

The tremendous sound was deafening.

As if the God of Thunder had descended.

Even under the vibration of that voice, the entire valley was trembling slightly.

From the tremendous sound it let out, one could tell just how enormous that phantom beast's body was.

That gigantic frame — ordinary people who saw it could only run.

"Ao!"

At the same moment that enormous roar rang out.

Off to one side, another equally tremendous sound, brimming with raw power, rang out.

The two voices answered each other.

Indistinguishable from one another.

Both tremendous sounds were filled with explosive force.

These were the cries of two different phantom beasts.

And judging from their voices, their strength was probably on par with each other.

This place was Wind Wolf Valley.

The young hunters from Holy Dragon Village often came here to hunt prey.

Wind Wolf Valley.

Just as its name suggested.

This place had many of these strange phantom beasts called wind wolves.

Unlike ordinary wolf-type phantom beasts.

Wind wolves did not like to live in packs.

Instead, once they reached adulthood, they would leave their parents.

Then dig out a nest of their own on the cliff face.

And adult wind wolves.

After normal growth, their level would at most reach around Black Iron Tier 3.

It was their racial bloodline that decided their level cap was right here.

Ordinary phantom beasts each had their own growth level.

Once they reached adulthood, it was fixed there.

To raise their level, one way was to devour evolution resources and evolve into another kind of phantom beast.

Another way was to swallow spiritual herbs and spiritual fruits to level up.

Black Iron Tier 3 level.

Their combat power was very ordinary, which meant many common people could deal with them through experience alone.

In fact, even phantom beasts around Black Iron Tier 9 level could be hunted down by experienced hunters.

So!

This Wind Wolf Valley, with its large number of solitary wind wolves, had become a favorite spot for Holy Dragon Village's hunters.

"Damn, Congzi, looks like we probably can't run this time!"

"Never thought we'd run into such terrifying phantom beasts here!"

Inside the valley, Deng Xiuwen pressed himself against the cliff face; not far away, the sounds of the enormous battle kept coming.

In his pupils, two gigantic behemoths were reflected.

One was a monster that looked like a giant Godzilla.

It was fighting another enormous ape.

Both their bodies reached a height of seven or eight meters.

Boom boom boom!

Enormous footsteps stomped on the ground, setting off a tremor.

Thud thud!

The ape threw a punch that collided with the fist of the Godzilla-like phantom beast, erupting in tremendous shock.

Making even space tremble slightly.

Every time they clashed.

They could send dirt flying dozens of meters into the air.

Observing from such close range.

The tremendous shaking was like an earthquake hitting the surroundings.

"We're done for — never thought there'd be a place like this inside this valley!"

Beside Deng Xiuwen, Li Cong was also staring in terror at the two enormous phantom beasts battling not far away.

Deng Xiuwen and Li Cong were precisely the Congzi and Wenzi the old man and old woman back in Holy Dragon Village had mentioned.

The two were hunters who often came to Wind Wolf Valley to hunt wind wolves and bring them back for everyone to eat.

All along, everything had been safe and sound.

They had come to this valley many times before; those solitary Wind Wolves they could take down with ease.

But!

They never expected that, two days ago, they had touched the mountain wall at the far end of the valley.

And it had actually let them pass through.

Then, they witnessed a scene of two enormous Phantom Beasts locked in combat.

By the time they came to their senses,

escape was already impossible.

Because below them, they were already surrounded by a pack of Wind Wolves.

"Speaking of which!"

"What on earth are those two things fighting over?"

Li Cong asked, somewhat puzzled.

Hearing his words, Deng Xiuwen looked toward the middle of the valley.

There stood a massive stone shaped like an enormous lingzhi mushroom; atop its peak sat a fist-sized stone radiating a dense, black light.

Around the stone, a vast energy barrier roughly five meters across had formed, shielding the stone itself.

"It must be that thing!"

"Didn't you see that even those Wind Wolves, as if not afraid of death, have gathered over there too!"

Deng Xiuwen said, staring at that strange stone.

"What is that thing, that it could spark their battle!"

"Even those solitary Wind Wolves have banded together to fight those creatures!"

Li Cong watched the two enormous Phantom Beasts, his heart still uneasy.

And beneath that stone platform, countless corpses littered the ground.
