Chapter 57

A small purple figure was drifting about within this valley.

It was a phantom beast that looked like a sable.

A pair of bright, lively eyes were looking around for something.

It seemed to be a phantom beast that had come out to forage.

Boom boom boom!

Suddenly, a tremendous explosion rang out.

"Squeak!"

That sable-like phantom beast.

Was startled at once.

Its body shot up like a flash, leaping seven or eight meters into the air.

It fled in terror into a nearby cave.

Leaving behind only a pair of dark, round eyes.

Watching uneasily the source of that enormous figure.

Boom boom boom!

The sound of heavy, ponderous footsteps rang out.

Only to see the back gate of a massive stone.

A huge figure was moving within.

…

"Who would have thought, actually this powerful!"

"Puh!"

A graceful figure, along with her phantom beast, was sent flying by the strike.

This person was none other than Zhu Zhu Yanhua, who had come to Purple Fire Valley!

"Ah!"

Fresh blood spurted from her mouth.

At the same time!

An expression of agony surfaced on her face.

Purple patterns emerged across her face.

Even!

Slowly, a purple glow actually began to radiate from her body.

Then!

It was just like the burning purple flames within the valley.

Clusters of purple flowers were actually coiling around and burning upon Zhu Zhu Yanhua's body as well.

Accompanied by the fresh blood overflowing from the corner of her mouth.

There was a beauty of an altogether different flavor.

A kind of tragic beauty.

Ink Spirit Fire!

This was a special kind of flame.

It was something produced by a phantom beast called Banyula.

Several months ago!

Zhu Zhu Yanhua had ventured deep into a valley to gather spirit fruits.

She never expected to encounter Banyula.

She then drove off her phantom beast and engaged that phantom beast in battle.

However!

She had inadvertently been struck by Banyula's special innate skill.

Ink Spirit Fire Curse!

This was a terrifying flame.

It lodged itself within the host's body.

It would continuously sear away the host's life force.

The flame could not harm anyone else.

Yet it could slowly drain the host's life.

Until all of the host's life force had been completely absorbed.

And the thing that could lift Banyula's innate skill curse.

Was only Ink Spirit Grass!

Ink Spirit Grass was a kind of spiritual herb.

Zhu Zhu Yanhua had come here precisely to search for Ink Spirit Grass.

To remove the Ink Spirit Fire poison from her own body.

However!

Anywhere within the Azure Dragon Mountain Range.

Was brimming with tremendous danger!

Within this place!

Possessing many powerful phantom beasts!

Roar!

A tremendous roar rang out in front of Zhu Zhu Yanhua.

A giant phantom beast five or six meters tall shifted over.

It was actually a giant lizard phantom beast!

A thick layer of armor covered its body, emanating a chilling, bone-piercing gleam.

No one would doubt its defense.

Its enormous claws lightly scraped against the stone.

And turned that massive boulder to powder.

"I never expected to run into an Iron Armor Lizard here!"

Zhu Zhu Yanhua gazed at the lizard phantom beast approaching him and said with a touch of self-mockery.

This was a phantom beast with an extremely powerful innate ability!

Both its defense and its attack power were top-tier existences.

It could generally grow to Gold rank.

Even Platinum rank or above.

Rumble rumble!

The Iron Armor Lizard walked toward Zhu Zhu Yanhua.

A greedy, drooling look appeared in its eyes.

Saliva even dripped from its mouth.

For a carnivorous phantom beast like it,

Zhu Zhu Yanhua was its prey.

Whoosh whoosh!

Suddenly two figures blocked themselves in front of Zhu Zhu Yanhua.

One was a giant butterfly — a Prismatic Butterfly.

The other was an adorable pink phantom beast with great big ears.

They stood before the Iron Armor Lizard.

Their gazes were resolute.

But the very next moment!

Contempt flashed in the Iron Armor Lizard's eyes, and then its tail swept across.

Rumble rumble!
