Chapter 17

The traveling merchants of Saint Dragon Village go to this city every month to purchase goods.

At the same time, they bring back information about the cities in the outside world.

This is what keeps Saint Dragon Village from being completely isolated from the human world.

"Maybe I should go see the big city when I have time!"

Looking at the distant Ancient Boat City.

Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes.

Awoo!

The Nine Heavens Wind and Rain Dragon let out a howl.

It flew off in the direction Chen Xuan pointed.

That was the direction of the Purple Fire Valley.

…

"Wha, what!"

"What is going on here!"

On the side of the Green Dragon Mountain Range near Ancient Boat City.

This area is called the Deep Mountain Bend.

At this moment!

The lush, dense forest had vanished!

A radius of several kilometers was actually shrouded in a black mist.

"Come on, come play with me!"

A terrifying voice came from within.

"Ah, ah!"

Accompanied by the screams of humans.

Their voices were filled with deep fear.

The beast tamer who had previously driven the Iron-Beak Birds.

Had long since fallen to the ground.

And right now!

The environment before them had undergone a massive change.

From the forest it was before, it had now turned into a giant playground.

Only!

The entire playground was cast in a grayish-white atmosphere.

Many beast tamers wore expressions of terror.

"Hee hee ha ha, come play!"

"Come play!"

In front of a group of beast tamers.

Over a dozen figures were constantly laughing as they approached the group.

And that group of beast tamers, along with their phantom beasts, kept retreating.

"Damn it, what on earth are these things!"

"Ghosts? How is that possible? How could such things exist in this world?"

In front of them!

Those dozen or so figures were actually a group of half-human-sized dolls.

But the dolls looked extremely creepy.

Their bodies were tattered and stained with blood.

Their eye sockets had no eyeballs.

They stared at the crowd, laughing hee hee ha ha.

A thick black aura radiated from their bodies.

It looked just like resentment.

A closer look!

Those beast tamers who had fallen to the ground.

Had pale faces and white-rimmed eyes.

A faint black aura was also radiating from their terrified faces.

"You bastards, don't panic!"

"These aren't ghosts, they are a type of phantom beast!"

Just as everyone was afraid.

A burly beast tamer stepped forward.

His upper body revealed knotted muscles.

Roar roar!

Beside him, a three-meter-tall giant golden lion let out a low growl.

It seemed to be warning the approaching dolls.

"It's him, Gao Gao Baigong!"

"A Gold-rank beast tamer, that's his Gold-rank phantom beast, the Golden Lion!"

Seeing the muscular middle-aged man.

The crowd suddenly exclaimed.

"Lord Gao Gao Baigong, what is going on here?"

"Are these all phantom beasts?"

Hearing his words, the crowd calmed down a little.

After all, there was a Gold-rank beast tamer here to hold the line.

"That's right, this is a peculiar type of phantom beast!"

"It should be a domain-type phantom beast; it has turned this place into its playground!"

As expected of a Gold-rank beast tamer, his experience was far richer than the others.

And his mindset was very steady.

"Furthermore, this might also be a curse-type phantom beast!"

"Those beast tamers have all been cursed by its ability!"

"Let's not be afraid, let's work together to defeat it!"

"Otherwise, we will be devoured in this domain and become food for it to level up."

Gao Gao Baigong's expression was serious.

Some phantom beasts do not need to rely on consuming spirit herbs or spirit fruits to level up.

For example, functional phantom beasts can even level up by cooking or sweeping.

And the phantom beast before them was likely a peculiar one that leveled up by inducing fear in surrounding creatures.

"I'm afraid that phantom beast is called a Terror Doll!"

Gao Gao Baigong looked serious, his eyes filled with vigilance.

A Terror Doll can reach Platinum rank once it reaches adulthood.

And its abilities are extremely troublesome.

If they don't find its true form, they will be trapped in this domain forever.

"Damn it, these dolls!"

"Even the weakest ones have the strength of a Silver seventh-tier!"

Inside the dim, grayish-white domain playground.

A group of beast tamers were panting.

The phantom beasts beside them were also in a sorry state.

Covered in bruises.

Their spirits were already somewhat withered.

Even on some of the phantom beasts and beast tamers.

Black mist had appeared.

That was the result of being infected.

If they didn't leave here soon.

And find a phantom beast capable of dispelling this source of fear to clear the things from their bodies.

Then their own beast-taming power would be affected.

There might even be a danger to their lives.

"Damn it, we aren't even a match for these dolls!"

This group of beast tamers.

Were basically all Silver-rank beast tamers.

Their phantom beasts only had one or two that matched their own beast-taming rank.

In a one-on-one situation.

Their phantom beasts were actually no match for those dolls.

And these dolls.

Weren't even the true form.

"Could it be that we are all going to die here?"

Some people began to show expressions of despair.

And at the same time, the black mist on their bodies grew a bit thicker.

A light invisible to ordinary people flew out from their bodies.

It seemed to be flying toward the depths of the playground.

"What are you saying, hold on!"

"Big Brother Gao Gao Baigong has already gone to find its true form, we must hold on!"

"As long as we hold out until Big Brother Gao Gao Baigong defeats its true form, we can be free!"

"That's right, we can't give up!"

"As long as we work together, we can hold off these dolls!"

Some of them regained their confidence.

Persuading those who were disheartened.

And upon hearing the name Gao Gao Baigong.

Their eyes regained their luster.

The mist on their bodies also dimmed a bit.

"That's right, as long as Big Brother Gao Gao Baigong is here, we have hope!"

"Kill!"

"Iron-Back Turtle, show them your power!"

"Candy Clown, you go play with them!"

"Biber Bird, take them out!"

The crowd suddenly became impassioned.

They charged toward the group of dolls that were advancing toward them while laughing.

Bang!

Just at this moment.

A loud sound rang out.

Afterward!

Accompanied by that loud noise.

Two figures flew into their midst.

Rumble!

The giant bodies fell.

Causing the crowd that was charging toward the dolls to stop.

"Go, Golden Lion!"

"And, Big Brother Gao Gao Baigong!"

When they waited to see those two fallen behemoths.

Their eyes were already splitting with rage.

Their pupils contracted as they looked in disbelief at the battered figure.

Who else could it be but Gao Gao Baigong and the Golden Lion who had gone to find the Terror Doll?

"Cough, cough!"

Gao Gao Baigong struggled to get up.

Leaning against the back of the Golden Lion.

Fresh blood spilled from his mouth.

"Everyone, I have disappointed you all, everyone run, I am no match for it!"

Gao Gao Baigong said, coughing.

"Damn it, I didn't expect this guy to have reached Platinum rank!"

"That's not a Terror Doll, what kind of phantom beast is that!"

Gao Gao Baigong looked at the distance in terror.

"Hahaha, fun, so fun!"

A pleasant voice came, yet it made one's hair stand on end.

Amidst the thick mist.

A small figure kept appearing.

Afterward!

Appearing before the crowd was actually a cute little girl holding a doll.

Behind the little girl were a pair of small wings.

On top of her head grew two black horns.

Clearly, she was not human.

"Big Brother, stand up, let's keep playing!"

"There are still so many Big Brothers here, let's play together!"

The little girl looked at the other beast tamers.

Immediately causing the other beast tamers to involuntarily take a few steps back.

Expressions of fear appeared on their faces.

A creature capable of rendering a Gold fifth-tier beast tamer helpless.

Even if it looks cute, it is a terrifying creature.

"Wha, what kind of joke is this, you monster, you're just a phantom beast, how dare you toy with us!"

"Let's attack together and kill it!"

"That's right, attack together, kill it!"

With someone leading, the crowd gained the courage to fight to the death.

They drove their phantom beasts to attack.

"Giggle, yay, yay, Big Brothers are all coming to play with me!"

Seeing those beast tamers driving their phantom beasts to attack her.

The little girl was not angry; instead, she clapped her hands happily.

However, the next moment!

Her expression turned solemn, revealing a pair of terrifying eyes.

Rumble!
