Chapter 203: The Veneration of Small Creatures

"Not good, they have encountered trouble!"

Zhang Yi's heart sank, and he immediately understood the scene before him.

These black shadows were not physical entities, but residual phantoms of the Dark God-Demon, possessing a portion of the original's power, and were extremely difficult to deal with.

Jubiao Mama's fire attacks had very little effect on these phantoms.

The speed advantage of the Pterosaur could not be fully utilized either, and although Nudi was powerful, she was gradually feeling overwhelmed when faced with the endless phantoms.

"I must rush over to save them as quickly as possible!"

Zhang Yi no longer hesitated and placed the Space Mirror on the ground; the mirror surface rippled, forming a portal shimmering with silver light.

The other end of the portal was the valley where Nudi and the others were located.

Although the teleportation distance of the Space Mirror was limited, fortunately, the location of the previous battle with the Dark God-Demon was not too far from the valley and was still within the teleportation range.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Yi resolutely stepped into the portal.

With a flash of silver light, his figure disappeared from the spot, leaving only the Space Mirror lying quietly in the ruins.

The scene on the mirror surface also gradually dissipated, returning to calm.

The silver light flashed and vanished; Zhang Yi stumbled out of the portal, and a cold, gloomy aura instantly enveloped him.

In the dim valley, the thick dark aura flowed like viscous liquid, so oppressive it was suffocating.

"Damn it, this hellhole..."

Zhang Yi cursed in a low voice and his gaze swept rapidly across his surroundings.

He saw Jubiao Mama, the Pterosaur, and Nudi being besieged by countless black shadows in the center of the valley.

These black shadows had twisted forms and were viciously pouncing toward them.

Jubiao Mama let out a deafening cry, and scorching flames surged from its mouth, burning the surrounding black shadows to nothingness.

However, these black shadows seemed to possess immortal bodies; after letting out shrill screams in the flames, they quickly regenerated from the darkness and pounced toward Jubiao Mama one after another.

Relying on its speed advantage, the Pterosaur shuttled freely among the black shadows, its sharp claws and beak constantly tearing at the bodies of the black shadows.

However, the number of these black shadows was simply too great, surging in like a tide; even with the Pterosaur's speed, it was difficult to avoid them completely.

Several wounds had already appeared on its body, and fresh blood dripped continuously.

Nudi's situation was even worse.

She brandished her long sword, and sharp sword Qi crisscrossed, hacking the surrounding black shadows into fragments.

However, these black shadows were like maggots on rotting bones, surging in endlessly and surrounding her completely.

Yaodi was by her side, blocking for her.

"Damn it, these persistent things!"

Seeing this, Zhang Yi cursed angrily and no longer hesitated.

The Jinwu power within his body erupted instantly, transforming into a golden flame storm that swept across the entire valley.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, everything in the valley was engulfed by the golden flames.

These golden flames were not ordinary flames, but World-Extinguishing Black Flame containing the Divine Power of the Jinwu, which had a powerful restraining effect on dark power.

The black shadows let out shrill screams in the golden flames, melting rapidly like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun, turning into ashes.

"Good chance!"

Seeing this, Jubiao Mama felt its spirits lift, let out a sharp cry, and spat out flames even more fiercely.

The Pterosaur also seized the opportunity, shuttling among the black shadows and tearing them into fragments one by one.

Nudi took the opportunity to break out of the encirclement, brandishing her long sword to hack the surrounding black shadows to death.

Although the wounds on her body remained, her aura was even sharper, like a phoenix reborn from the flames.

With Zhang Yi's forceful intervention, the battle situation was instantly reversed. The number of black shadows decreased sharply and was eventually completely wiped out.

"Phew..." Zhang Yi let out a long breath, and the golden flames on his body gradually dissipated.

"Son, you finally came!" Jubiao Mama walked in front of Zhang Yi, a look of relief on its face.

"It's a good thing I arrived in time, otherwise you would have been in danger."

Zhang Yi smiled, his gaze falling on Nudi, a trace of concern flashing in his eyes, "Are you hurt?"

"Some minor injuries, it's nothing."

Nudi shook her head.

"Thanks to you, we were able to escape danger," Yaodi said.

"Indeed, these black shadows were truly too difficult to deal with," the Pterosaur also said with lingering fear.

Zhang Yi smiled and said, "These black shadows should be residual phantoms of the Dark God-Demon, possessing a portion of the original's power, which is why they were so difficult to deal with. However, they are ultimately just phantoms and cannot be compared to the real Dark God-Demon."

"By the way, why would these black shadows appear here?" Nudi asked, her brows slightly furrowed.

"I don't know either."

Zhang Yi shook his head, "Perhaps after the Dark God-Demon fell, its power scattered in this area, forming these phantoms."

"Regardless, we must be careful and cautious."

Jubiao Mama said, "Although the Dark God-Demon has been eliminated, its residual power is still not to be underestimated."

After the black shadows dissipated, the valley was silent, with only a few wisps of blue smoke rising, and the smell of burning permeated the air.

Zhang Yi withdrew his Jinwu power and looked around, confirming there was no residual dark aura before slightly relaxing.

A rustling sound broke the silence of the valley.

From behind a bush, a small, furry head poked out, two ruby-like eyes spinning around.

"Wow! That person is too strong! He burned those scary black shadows to ash in one move!"

The Velvet Rabbit said in an exaggerated tone, covering its mouth with its small paws, afraid that its voice would be too loud and disturb Zhang Yi.

"Isn't that the truth," the mini dragon flapped its colorful wings, the fluorescence on its tail flickering, "I thought for sure we were dead this time! He was practically a god descended to earth!"

"Shh, keep it down!" a strange plant emitted a melodious bell-like sound, "He is a descendant of the Sun God; be careful he doesn't hear you!"

"A descendant of the Sun God? Really?" the fluffy rabbit widened its eyes, "No wonder he's so powerful!"

"Of course it's true!" the mini dragon puffed out its chest proudly, "My grandfather's grandfather's grandfather once saw the Sun God, and it's said that he, just like this big brother here, radiated golden light all over!"

"Then shouldn't we go and thank him?"

"Of course we should thank him!"

The mini dragon flew in front of the fluffy rabbit and said mysteriously, "I heard that descendants of the Sun God love eating rainbow fruit the most; let's go pick some to give to him!"

And so, the little creatures all began to take action.

Before long, the little creatures came before Zhang Yi, carefully holding various gifts.

"Respected descendant of the Sun God," the fluffy rabbit spoke first, holding a rainbow fruit high up, "This is a small token of our appreciation, please accept it!"

"This is the nectar we brewed, please have a taste!" the strange plant held a drop of crystal-clear dew out in front of Zhang Yi.

The other little creatures also presented their own gifts one after another, expressing their gratitude toward Zhang Yi.
