Chapter 169: The Tomb of the Skull General

Boom—boom!

Massive footsteps echoed within the mountains.

Each step caused the earth to shake and the mountains to tremble.

Clearly, some enormous predator was moving here.

Boom—boom!

The massive footsteps sounded again.

A figure slowly emerged from a corner of the mountain.

It was a giant figure dozens of meters tall.

Upon appearing, it blocked out the sun.

Casting a vast shadow.

Its massive body had sharp, angular contours.

Its body was clad in thick hide armor.

Its eyes were fierce and unyielding.

Such a colossal creature.

It truly looked terrifying.

"My lord, are we really going to do this?"

"Legends say it can lock onto a target's aura and pursue them endlessly, until death!" Near the giant phantom beast.

Beneath a massive tree.

Several beast-tamers were discussing something there.

"Hurry! If you complete the mission, I guarantee your families will never lack food or clothing for the rest of their lives!" "If you fail, you know the consequences, right?"

"Even if you run or fail, I can still find others to do this!" "Do you understand your own situation now?"

A tall, thin man, clad in a black robe.

It completely concealed his body.

His face could not be seen.

But!

If someone from the Heavenly Dao Sect heard it, they would surely recognize it.

That voice was the same one from the meeting room earlier.

The voice sounded like a duck's.

"Yes, my lord! We—we will complete the mission!" The beast-tamers trembled.

Hearing the black-robed man's words, they could only answer in fear.

Heavenly Dao Sect!

After joining this organization, they had already doomed themselves to serve it with their lives.

If they betrayed the organization,

they knew full well the consequences.

Sometimes, death was better than living.

At least!

Heavenly Dao Sect, if you devote yourself wholeheartedly to the organization,

they never break their promises.

They will never harm your family.

This is why they swear absolute loyalty to the Heavenly Dao Sect. "Enough, don't be so pessimistic!"

"If you die here, the mission still fails!" "These phantom beasts are what your superiors prepared for you!" "With them, your safety will greatly increase!" said the black-robed man with the duck-like voice. Several flashes of light appeared.

They flew out from his body.

They were several round, plump phantom beasts.

Their bodies were clad in thick armor.

The armor had sharp edges, radiating an aura of solidity.

"These are Golden Armor Beasts!"

"Thank you, my lord!"

The beast-tamers brightened up.

These were phantom beasts with extremely strong defense!

They could even withstand attacks from phantom beasts many levels higher.

Extremely rare.

"Alright, go!"

The black-robed, duck-voiced beast-tamer broke the contracts on the phantom beasts.

And commanded them to follow the beast-tamers before them.

After re-contracting,

the beast-tamers eagerly advanced forward.

And their target? That towering, mountain-like terrifying phantom beast.

That towering, mountain-like terrifying phantom beast.

"This Beast God Blessing has enhanced my defense, stamina, and speed!"

"Truly powerful!"

In the forest!

A black shadow was sprinting at high speed.

That speed was even greater than that of many phantom beasts!

The black shadow, still running.

It was Chen Xuan, who had received the Beast God's Blessing.

At this moment!

He had fused together with the Dark Armed Dragon.

Combined with the effect of the Beast God's Blessing.

He raced through the forest at high speed.

Rumble rumble!
