“Stout, what is that?” White Tiger asked.


    “If I guess correctly, it should be a Proto-Drake fruit!” Stout responded.Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “What’s its use?” Vermilion Bird asked.


    “The Proto-Drake fruit is one of the main ingredients for refining high-grade Elemental Pills!” Stout smacked his lips.


    “Of course, it can also be consumed directly. Although it cannot directly enhance cultivation, it can y a role in consolidating foundation and nurturing vitality!”


    “Sounds good!” Vermilion Bird nodded.


    “Boss, I’ll go get it!” Stout couldn’t wait any longer and said to Billy before heading towards the middle of the pool.


    “Wait!” Billy spoke in a deep voice.


    “Boss, what’s wrong?” Stout stopped in his tracks.


    “There should be something in the water!” Billy furrowed his brows slightly.


    “Really?” Stout was surprised. “Why can’t I sense it?”


    “I didn’t sense it either!” Billy shook his head and added, “I guessed!”


    “Uh…” Stout’s mouth twitched.


    “Your Highness, if I’m not mistaken, that should be a Proto-Drake fruit. I’ll pick it for you to taste. It’s very helpful.” At this moment, a man beside Christopher Morris seemed to recognize the fruit.


    “Okay!” Christopher Morris replied.


    Then, the man flew towards the middle of the grasnd.


    Just as the man flew halfway, a huge disturbance came from the calm water surface.


    The next moment, a monster resembling a crocodile but four to five timesrger leaped out from under the water, then opened its huge mouth and directly bit towards the man.


    “Be careful!” a woman eximed.


    The man naturally felt the danger too. His pupils contracted rapidly, and he hurriedly dodged to the side.


    Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and narrowly avoided the creature’s attack.


    However, before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, another, evenrger creature emerged from the water, over ten meters away, and then swallowed the man in one gulp.


    The man didn’t even have time to scream before his body was bitten into two pieces by the creature’s teeth, blood spraying everywhere.


    Thud!


    Then, the creature carried the man’s body and sank into the pool.


    The whole process happened in the blink of an eye. Those on the shore didn’t even have time to react before the creature disappeared without a trace.


    “Damn!” Seeing this scene, Stout cursed and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.


    If it weren’t for the Boss calling him back, he would probably have ended up in the creature’s belly by now.


    “What is that thing that can evade mental detection?” Azure Dragon frowned and spoke.


    “Many fierce beasts in the Forbidden Phantom Valley can hide their own aura. I don’t know if it’s their own ability or because of the array here,” Nelson Morris exined.


    “Beast, you shall pay with your life!” At this time, only Christopher Morris’s roar was heard.


    Then, he flew to a height of over ten meters above the water pool and then exerted his full force, sting out a violent gust of wind towards the water surface.


    Ssh!


    The next moment, the entire water pool turned upside down, and over a dozen water columns sprayed into the air.


    At the same time, the tworge crocodiles appeared again, swiftly darting out from under the water surface, simultaneously spewing two high-pressure water columns towards Christopher Morris.


    “Die!” Christopher Morris shouted loudly. After dodging the water columns, he sent out an even more powerful palm strike towards thergest creature.


    At the same time, someone on the shore also took action, and several gusts of wind rushed towards the other one like a hurricane.


    Bang!


    Then, two muffled sounds were heard.


    The smaller one, under the joint attack of several people on the shore, had its head burst into a mist of blood, and its body heavily fell onto the water surface, causing a ssh of water.


    The other one, after being sted by Christopher Morris’s palm strike for two to three hundred meters, plunged into the water.


    Christopher Morris was obviously not going to let it go so easily. After stabilizing his breath, he once again smashed a palm strike towards the water surface.


    However, the creature never surfaced again.


    Christopher Morris was furious, but because he couldn’t see what was happening underwater, after trying for a few more minutes, he had to give up.


    Afternding in the middle of the pond on the grassy field, they directly uprooted the fruit tree and brought it back to the shore.


    A few minutester, the group continued forward.


    “Prince Nelson, are you sure there are inheritances from cultivators above thete stage Divine Realm in the Forbidden Phantom Valley?” Judge asked as they walked.


    “Absolutely!” Nelson Morris nodded. “Those who have entered the Forbidden Phantom Valley before have already confirmed this.”


    “But why do I feel like it’s just a deste mountainous area, nothing like a ce with inheritances from powerful cultivators?” Judge continued.


    “That’s because we’re still just at the periphery of the Forbidden Phantom Valley. We’re still far from the core area,” Nelson Morris replied.


    “How big is it inside?” White Tiger asked.


    “No one can say for sure,” Nelson Morris shook his head. “The Forbidden Phantom Valley is only open for one month, and no one who entered has been able to explore the entire space.”


    “Not even in a month?” ck Tortoise eximed.


    “Yes,” Nelson Morris nodded. “Because everyone rushes towards the core area upon entering, and by the time they reach it, it’s usually been five or six days.”


    “Then they stay in the core area for more than ten days before they start returning, so many ces remain unexplored.”


    “It takes five or six days to reach the core area from here?” White Tiger was stunned.


    “That’s an optimistic estimate,” Nelson Morris replied. “Because there are many unpredictable situations along the way that can dy us.”


    “Based on past experiences, some people spent over half a month just finding the core area. If they don’t start returning, they’ll never get out.”


    “Understood,” White Tiger replied.


    “Prince Nelson, what is the core area like? Is it simr terrain?” Ivy asked.


    “No,” Nelson Morris shook his head. “The real core area is an abandonedrge-scale city. Where we are now can only be considered the outskirts of the outskirts.”


    “Have the people who entered before drawn maps or anything, so we can choose the closest route to the core area?” Frostde asked.


    “No,” Nelson Morris shook his head again. “The terrain inside isplex and pitch ck, making it difficult to even distinguish directions.”


    “People who enter only know a rough direction, and no one can be sure that the path they’ve taken is the closest.”


    “Furthermore, the Forbidden Phantom Valley opens only once every fifty years, and the scenery inside also undergoes significant changes. So even if you can roughly estimate the route, it’s not of much use.”


    “Understood,” Frostde nodded.


    After walking for two or three hours, they were blocked by an underground river. On the other side of the river was arge area of slightly damp grasnd.


    The riverbed was three to four hundred meters wide, the water flowed rapidly, and the water quality was equally murky, making one unable to see anything or know how deep the river was.


    “Could there be thoserge monsters in the river again?” a woman asked with lingering fear.
