Chapter 218

Or perhaps various flying-type birds.

They merely listened to the footsteps with curiosity.

Some small-animal-like phantom beasts, meanwhile, were a little frightened and had hidden themselves inside their own caves.

A pair of black, glossy eyeballs peeked out from the cave entrance, looking toward the place from which the sound had come in the distance.

A massive footprint appeared.

That single footprint alone was several meters long.

It looked utterly terrifying.

Thud, thud, thud!

The heavy sound of footsteps rang out once again.

Finally!

A towering figure, dozens of meters tall, appeared.

It was a colossal body, sharp-edged and angular.

Its body was clad in thick hide armor.

A pair of eyes, majestic and unyielding.

On its back, what seemed to be glowing enormous spines.

The sharp spines emanated a cold, icy light.

Under the sun's illumination, they appeared almost translucent.

On closer inspection, at this moment—

Clutched in its mouth was a purple crystal stone of unknown origin.

At this moment!

This strange beast, holding that purple crystal stone of unknown origin in its mouth, was walking toward an enormous valley.

Thud, thud, thud!

As its footsteps moved along.

Inside that valley was a massive nest.

Numerous footprints appeared here.

They were its own footprints.

Obviously!

This was its nest.

It walked toward the nest with a doting smile.

Thud, thud!

It placed the crystal stone at the entrance.

Then!

It poked its head in to look at the nest.

But the next instant!

Its doting smile froze.

It stared at the nest in shock.

The inside was utterly empty. "Roar!" Rage!

Frenzy!

All of its violent, savage emotions poured out at once.

Roar, roar, roar!

The entire valley shook and trembled.

Every phantom beast in the vicinity fled in panic.

The flying-type birds, in a fright, flew off to other mountaintops, watching in terror that strange beast howling toward the sky.

The next instant!

Roar!

That enormous strange beast opened its mouth.

A beam of purple light shot out from its mouth.

A mountaintop a thousand meters away was struck directly.

Yet after being struck, no explosion occurred.

Instead, it transformed into a mountain of purple ice crystal.

As if it had been sealed away by the purple crystal stone.

Terrifying!

Every phantom beast witnessed this scene.

They fled in terror.

The flying-type phantom beasts had already flown several kilometers away.

Dodging that enormous strange beast as if it were a plague-bringer. "Roar, roar, roar!" The enormous strange beast bellowed.

The spines on its back also emitted a startling radiance.

Its pupils were filled with bloodshot veins.

It wrinkled its nose.

As if searching for something.

Then!

It raised its head and looked in one direction.

Filled with fury.

Its roar shook heaven and earth.

Boom, boom, boom!

A strange beast!

It was charging relentlessly in that direction.

Wherever it passed, trees were smashed apart.

Rocks flew in all directions.

At this moment!

A lone figure was walking along the mountain path.

He was holding up a communication device, filming something. Clearly—

This person was none other than Li Chaoran, who had come toward Holy Dragon Village.

"Banzi, Lizi, Holy Dragon Village is just up ahead!" "Next, I'm going to reveal a huge secret to you!"

"Does the Holy Dragon actually exist or not!" "Let's wait and see!"

After all, the livestream only had a few of his own friends in it.

Li Chaoran simply called his buddies by their nicknames. "Holy Dragon? What Holy Dragon?" "Is there really a phantom beast like that?"

"Hahaha, it might just be a name for a phantom beast called the Holy Dragon!" "Like a chameleon — you can't really call it a dragon, right?"

"There are countless phantom beasts in the world, and plenty we don't even know the names of!" "Hahaha, true — like the longhorn beetle, it's not really a bull either!" "Haha, exactly!"

"Let's just see what amazing thing Chaoran's going to show us!" The livestream was buzzing with chatter.

And Li Chaoran, wearing a confident smile, walked toward the village.

Boom, boom, boom!

Just at that moment!

The sound of enormous footsteps came through.

It made Li Chaoran stop in his tracks.

"Chaoran, something seems off up ahead — stop!"

In the livestream, Li Chaoran's friends also paused.

Boom—!

Just at that moment!

From the grass by the road, a blur shot out at top speed. "Blaze-Tusked Boar!"
