Chapter 23

The same reason is that they move in swarms.

Other phantom beasts generally don't dare to provoke them either.

After all, they have no sharp claws or teeth.

But their strength is boundless, and their defense is extremely high.

Ordinary phantom beasts attacking them can only stare helplessly, unable to break through their defense.

Conversely!

A casual strike from them could shatter one into pieces.

Rumble rumble rumble!

At this moment!

Over a hundred Forest Giant Rhinos moved.

Instantly, the rumbling of footsteps shook heaven and earth.

Like a landslide splitting the ground.

Among their herd.

A black figure kept flickering.

Like a shadow in the dark night.

Every time it appeared!

A streak of blood would fly over a dozen meters.

Rumble rumble rumble!

Whenever that phantom beast, like a mechanical leopard, appeared.

A massive body would also fall.

The body of a Forest Giant Rhino weighing over a dozen tons fell.

Instantly causing the ground to shudder.

Swish swish swish!

Thud thud thud!

Obsidian Shadow Gamma was like the Grim Reaper.

Every appearance signified the death of a Forest Giant Rhino.

These thick-skinned, fleshy phantom beasts.

At this moment.

Were being harvested of their lives so easily.

That was truly terrifying.

Thud thud thud!

As their companions died.

Those Forest Giant Rhinos even began to panic.

Then!

They began to flee.

In the blink of an eye.

Over a hundred Forest Giant Rhinos had been hunted down by more than half.

The rest all fled.

One Forest Giant Rhino, in its panic.

Charged straight at Chen Xuan.

Yet Chen Xuan showed not the slightest panic.

Instead, his face was utterly calm.

The next moment!

He, clad in black armor.

Leaped up.

The next moment!

Rumble rumble rumble!

Chen Xuan kicked that Forest Giant Rhino.

He actually kicked the dozen-ton Forest Giant Rhino flying over a dozen meters away.

The massive body crashed down, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Then that Forest Giant Rhino fled in terror.

Armored Dragon!

A type of armored phantom beast.

It can armor itself onto a phantom beast or a beast-tamer.

Not only can it form a set of highly defensive armor around the host's body.

It will also increase the armored host's strength according to its own power.

In other words, Chen Xuan, armored by the Armored Dragon, possessed the Armored Dragon's powerful defense and strength.

Of course!

He just couldn't unleash the Armored Dragon's innate skills, that's all.

Then!

Chen Xuan dispelled the Armed effect.

A flash of light streaked past, and a phantom beast appeared — wrapped in black armor, its eyes glowing blood-red.

It was the Armed Dragon.

Armed-type phantom beasts consume stamina when they activate Armed.

Even an Armed Dragon that had reached Gold Tier 3 could only provide Chen Xuan with one hour of Armed effect.

Of course!

If the Armed output were lowered, the duration of the possession Armed effect could be extended.

"Not a bad effect!"

"Looks like this evolution was a great success!"

He gazed at the forest giant rhinoceros corpses strewn across the ground.

Chen Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

The mission he had come out for this time was to test the abilities of his evolved Obsidian Shadow Gamma.

And its performance had not disappointed Chen Xuan.

When facing so many Gold-rank forest giant rhinoceroses,

it handled them with ease.

It shattered their defenses effortlessly.

Some of them had even reached Gold Tier 7.

They were still hunted down by the Obsidian Shadow Gamma.

"Hmm, this place is too far from Holy Dragon Village!"

"There's no way to haul all this forest giant rhinoceros meat back!"

"What a pity, though!"

He sighed with a touch of regret.

Chen Xuan summoned the Radiant Holy Dragon.

Roar!

With a tremendous howl,

a white figure streaked at top speed toward Holy Dragon Village.

…

"What was that sound just now!"

"It sounded like a dragon's roar."

Deep in the forest of the Azure Dragon Mountain Range!
