By the time Baiyi and the rest returned to the campsite, the battle had already ended. The ground was littered with the bodies of the Steppe Cavalrymen but there were no horses in sight. The rescue team was still in good shape. The Zhang Brothers and the Shield Warrior were seriously injured and were receiving treatment from the Clerics.
Mia was sitting alone on the grass outside the campsite with the hammerhead shark plushie on her lap. She was stroking the wound on the plushie's white belly with a distressed look on her face. The plushie seemed to be enjoying the treatment very much. Its tail was wagging leisurely and it would even rub the back of Mia's hand from time to time, giving the impression that a young owner was comforting her pet.
Before Huskar could even get close to Mia, he suddenly leaped down from the goat's back and took out a spear from Zar'Zar's back. Gripping it tightly, he stood in front of everyone and shouted, "Watch out!" At the same time, the shadow that they had seen on the battlefield appeared behind him once again.
The other two Divine Warriors seemed to have sensed something as well. They jumped down from the goat's back and cast a secret technique to summon their ancestors. They held their spears in their hands and stared at Huskar's line of sight. Even Attie frowned. She bent her waist slightly, ready to fight.
However, the place that they were staring at was an empty field near Mia. With the naked eye, there was nothing but blue sky and green grass.
Waving his hand, Baiyi said, "Calm down, calm down. It's here to help." He whistled, and the hammerhead shark plushie broke free from Mia's embrace and swam to Baiyi's side, rubbing itself against his visor.
Are you a dog?
Only then did the little girl notice that Huskar had returned. Immediately, a joyful smile appeared on her face. Just as she was about to pounce on him, she heard Huskar shouting in the barbarian language, "Don't move!" Even though Mia did not understand what he said, she was still frightened to the point that she froze on the spot.
"I told you not to be nervous. It's really nothing..." Baiyi quickly tried to smooth things over. Then, he knocked on the head of the plushie that was on his stomach, hinting for it to quickly deal with it.
Suddenly, a giant white beast that was more than ten meters tall appeared out of thin air beside Mia. Looking at the hammerhead shark plushie on Baiyi's body, it slowly took a few steps back and disappeared into thin air.
Sensing that the beast had left, Huskar dispersed the golden light on his body and let out a sigh of relief. He said in a low voice, "It's gone..." Saying that, he handed the spear back to Zar'Zar.
In the previous fierce battle with the grassland barbarians, he had been fighting with only his fists while facing an enemy that was a few hundred times larger than his own. But now, he had taken the initiative to take out a weapon. One could imagine how terrifying the giant beast he had been facing was.
Zar 'Zar took the spear and turned around to look at Cuckoo, the snow eagle that was paralyzed on the goat's back. It was so frightened that it looked like a pigeon. It lowered its head in shame and said, "That thing … was really scary … I actually felt a long-lost fear in my heart just now."
"Fortunately, it's full, or else …" Huskar said as he turned around to look at the others. He did not continue speaking. Based on his judgment, there were only four people on his side, so they probably could not defeat that gigantic beast.
Naturally, the beast that could force the invincible Divine Warriors to bow down had caused a heated discussion in the Void.
"I've met it before. Both sides chose to retreat and did not fight," the Caveman said in the Void. Man 'zi said in the void, "Later on, I also asked my ancestors. They said that I wasn't being cowardly but was being rational."
"In Gouve, there are some records of this kind of Phantom Behemoth. The Dragon Knights encountered it when they were exploring the realm. They sent out hundreds of Dragon Knights but only a dozen of them returned. Three centurions died in the battle and their opponents were only three of these behemoths... This was written in a diary that I found in the grave of a centurion. That was probably the biggest loss the Dragon Knights had ever suffered," the Explorer added.
"No wonder when Isythre started to explore the realm, there was no movement in Gouve... Now I finally understand why," the youngest Apprentice said. "It is said that this kind of Behemoth is not the same as the ordinary Behemoth. It seems that they have some kind of strange ability to travel between planes. They can hide in some invisible cracks between planes, or move quickly through these cracks?" "That's right," said the Apprentice.
"It's similar to what you said. This kind of Phantom Behemoth must have a unique ability in this aspect. It can appear and disappear like a ghost. That's how it got its name," Baiyi replied. "That's why it could rush here from the depths of the Eol Mountains to protect Mia in such a short period of time."
The reason why this kind of Phantom Behemoth could give Huskar a headache was because of its strange ability. It was easy to sneak attack and dodge. A Behemoth that could sneak and hide, coupled with its sturdy body and strong strength, was like a Divine Warrior who had mastered the secret skills of an assassin. Just the thought of it was enough to give one a headache.
"I can't believe it actually has such an innate ability. What a wonderful creature! But then again, why is the 27th Walker able to command it? Could it be that... it's the one that... "The Apprentice seemed to have recalled something and quickly asked.
"Yes, it's the horrifying magical beast that you guys called the Realm Disaster," Baiyi finally revealed the true identity of the 27th Walker. At that moment, Baiyi revealed the true identity of the 27th Walker, "That's why it doesn't communicate with you guys. It's because it doesn't know how to communicate with humans."
"Is that really it?" The Warrior who rarely spoke spoke up, "I heard that even the Northern Land had sent out a lot of warriors to encircle it. Unfortunately, I was too young at that time so I couldn't make it in time. I could only read about it in the books at the end. The Northern Land called it the King of the Wasteland."
"You should be glad that you didn't make it in time." It was rare for the Engineer to participate in the discussion in a normal manner, "According to the records of our guild, they sent out a lot of craftsmen and even a lot of large marionettes. In the end, neither the people nor the marionettes returned. It was said that there were a total of ten Holy Level and countless Immortal Level powerhouses. All the major guilds were involved. In the end, three Holy Level powerhouses were sacrificed and the Church was also involved. Now that I think about it, it's really scary..."
"It's even more than the number of people who encircled me that time? I can't believe that there's an existence that's even more despicable than me! "The Lich said in a self-deprecating manner.
"Actually, it's not as good at fighting as you. It's just better at escaping and ambushing than you," Baiyi explained. "In the beginning, it was just a normal looking worm that had been living in the Eol Mountains for a long time. It didn't even know what it was. When it was hungry, it would just find some worms that were easier to bully and eat them. Slowly, it gained some of those worms' abilities and became stronger. The more it ate, the stronger the food it ate. By the time it started to eat dragons and behemoths, it was already unbelievably strong."
"Towards the end, the food in the Eol Mountains was no longer to its liking. So, it started to look for other food and caused a lot of trouble for the humans. In the end, it was surrounded by humans. This is its story. Isn't it very simple and boring?" Baiyi explained the experience of the 27th Walker in a light tone.
"From another perspective, it was also constantly pursuing the path of strength. It's a shame that I didn't get to communicate with it," the Warrior said regretfully.
"No, no, no. Don't think of it as such a noble person. It was just a glutton that wanted to eat more delicious food. It's more accurate to say that it was pursuing the path of gourmet food. In the end, after eating for a long time, it still couldn't figure out anything. After exchanging memories with me to understand the things on Earth, it wanted to become a panda …" Baiyi continued.
"Why would it want to become a panda?" Someone asked curiously.
"Because when it rolled around, someone would feed it. It didn't have to worry about starvation or being hunted down. Plus, many people like it," Baiyi said, feeling amused. "It's very lazy. If it wasn't for the fact that it had to stay in such a dangerous place like the Eol Mountains and was forced to become stronger, it wouldn't have become like that. As for now, since it can't eat anything in the Void, it's just sleeping. "
"Then why did it bark like a dog?" Another Walker asked curiously.
"Because it suddenly realized that with its appearance, it would not be able to become a panda. So, it decided to just be a pet. Well, it's not that bad anyway. The reason why it clung to me is because Earthlings keep everything, so it thought that I wouldn't mind its ugly appearance," Baiyi continued, "Not only can it bark like a dog, it can also meow like a cat."
"Speaking of the last time it was exiled, it kind of looked like an oversized bee, but it had two forelimbs with two very sharp thorns on them. That was why it could fly very fast, very agile, and very lethal," Baiyi continued to explain.
"Yes! I remember when I was still alive, there was a batch of divine weapons that were made from its remains, "the Apprentice added.
"Anyway, because it grew there and had two sharp thorns, I initially wanted to call it the Two-spined Salamander. But, it didn't like that name very much. Instead, it liked the name Taotie, so I just called it the Monster," Baiyi introduced the 27 Walker's code name. Baiyi introduced the code name of the 27th Walker before adding, "But don't be fooled by its stupidity and lack of ambition, it's actually very strong. The reason why that Spectre Behemoth was so obedient was because it couldn't defeat it. The moment it sensed the fluctuation of its breath, it immediately rushed over to help."
"As expected of the legendary King of the Wasteland. Even after such a long time, there are still people who remember it," the Warrior said.
While the conversation was going on in the Void, not much time had passed in the real world. Mia seemed to have realized that her temporary protector had left. Looking at the direction of the grove with a hint of regret, she said in a low voice, "Mr. Snowman is leaving already?" As she said that, she waved her hand towards the distance and shouted in a crisp voice, "Thank you! Mr. Snowman! "
