“Is it an earthquake?” 

“That’s not right. The frequency of this earthquake is very fast. It doesn’t seem like an earthquake at all!” 

The rapid tremors caused the students to panic. 

They used their defensive powers one after another to stabilize their bodies. 

However, the deafening explosions grew louder and louder! 

Even the tremors became clearer and clearer. 

“It’s not an earthquake, it’s the footsteps of the Hunter Elephants!” 

The bald teacher stood on a tall tree and said with a frown. 

“The… The Hunter Elephants?” 

“Why is there such a big movement?” 

“Aren’t they very gentle?” 

Several students immediately became nervous and began to find a place to hide. 

The bald teacher looked at the group of fleeing Hunter Elephants in shock. 

He muttered to himself in bewilderment, “Just what kind of powerful existence is able to make the Hunter Elephants flee in groups?” 

As a teacher, he knew the Mirage Beasts around here very well. 

Although the Hunter Elephants were a type of Mirage Beast with a gentle personality… 

Once they went on a rampage, they were nearly invincible among those of the same level! 

There was once a Silver-Rank Hunter Elephant. 

In order to protect its young from being captured by humans… 

It directly killed several Silver-Rank Beastmasters! 

The bald teacher saw a few rampaging Hunter Elephants. 

They were charging in his direction. 

He hurriedly urged, “Hide as soon as possible!” 

At this moment, the students had already found their own shelter. 

Rumble… 

A few Hunter Elephants sped past at high speed. 

Leaving behind billowing smoke and dust. 

Seeing the Hunter Elephants leave, the students and their teacher finally heaved a sigh of relief. 

The adult Hunter Elephants possessed immense strength! 

There were even some who had reached Gold Rank. 

They, a bunch of bronze and silver Beastmasters… had no way of dealing with them at all! 

At this moment, the students were all very glad that the Hunter Elephants didn’t attack them. 

Otherwise, their lives might have ended here. 

“This event is over!” 

“Evacuate as soon as possible and return to school as soon as possible.” 

The bald teacher said solemnly. 

He was already a Gold-Rank 5 Beastmaster. 

Although he was able to fight against the giant roaming elephant… 

He didn’t dare to let his guard down while leading the students. 

The students were no longer as noisy as before. 

They followed the bald teacher and hurried to the outskirts of the forest. 

A moment later. 

A trembling student pointed at a spot not far away. 

He said in fear, “Teacher, look at the corpses over there!” 

Everyone’s gaze gathered over. 

Not far away! 

Several corpses were lying in a pool of blood. 

There was even a portion of the corpses that were charred as if they had been burned by flames. 

“Hiss!” 

Many students took a deep breath when they saw this. 

As students, this was the first time they had seen such a bloody scene. 

The corpses and pools of blood were filled with a suffocating pressure! 

“Are they the corpses of Hunter Elephants?” 

“Look at that body, there are several Gold Rank Hunter Elephants?” 

“What kind of existence is capable of killing them like this?” 

The teacher was secretly shocked. 

A portion of the corpses in the distance were burnt to a crisp, and a portion seemed to have been dismembered! 

However, based on his understanding of Mirage Beasts, he was very certain that they were the corpses of Hunter Elephants! 

And looking at the numbers, there were actually close to sixty to seventy of them! 

The teacher could not help but tremble as he looked at the students behind him. 

He hurriedly took out the signal flare in his arms. 

It shot out like the sky! 

He was getting ready to get the other teachers of the school to come and receive him. 

“This area is too dangerous. Everyone must be on guard!” 

“I’ve already contacted the other teachers of the school to come and receive you.” 

“We’ll try our best to evacuate as quickly as possible while keeping ourselves safe!” 

The bald teacher looked around and shouted vigilantly. 

As a Gold-Rank Beastmaster, he… He still had the strength to fight against a Gold-Rank Hunter Elephant! 

But looking at the scene below, it was like hell. 

He was very sure of it! 

To be able to kill a Hunter Elephant in such a manner, the other party’s strength must have reached Platinum-Rank. 

It might even exceed that level! 

“How terrifying. Could it be caused by that Black Dragon Mirage Beast just now?” 

“Stop guessing. I’m afraid we won’t be able to reach that kind of terrifying strength for the rest of our lives…” 

“This Star Dou Forest is too mysterious. We’ve only just entered the shallow layer and we’ve already encountered such a terrifying existence!” 

The students were extremely shocked, and their faces turned deathly pale… 

Their hearts were filled with respect and yearning for such a powerful power! 

The bald-headed teacher brought his students and left quietly… 

They didn’t dare to move too quickly, afraid that they would wake up the powerful existences in the surroundings! 

.., 

[I predict that there is a white Gold Rank 5 Ice Bear in the Frost Snow Domain. The degree of success is extremely difficult. Do you want to plan a Route?] 

Zhou Ming returned to the small courtyard. 

The system notification sounded in his mind again. 

“Frost Snow Domain?” 

“It’s at least tens of thousands of miles away from here. I’d better forget about it!” 

Zhou Ming muttered. 

He had already obtained a large number of spirit cores. 

He planned to level up his Mirage Beast. 

Looking at Xiao Ling who was sleeping soundly, Zhou Ming shook his head helplessly. 

On the way back earlier. 

Xiao Ling had swallowed three gold Hunter Elephant spirit cores. 

At this moment, she was in the process of digesting them. 

Following that, Zhou Ming distributed the remaining spirit cores to the Steel Mechanical Beast, the Mad Giant. 

And the Flower Fairy who had been working hard. 

It would take them some time to digest the spirit core. 

Then, he put it into the system. 

Then, he summoned the Armored Black Dragon. 

After the Armored Black Dragon came out, it bowed respectfully in front of Zhou Ming. 

Zhou Ming played with the dark shining spirit core in his hand. 

“It should be able to let you evolve.” 

Then, he threw the dark shining spirit core out. 

The Armored Black Dragon swallowed it without hesitation. 

In a flash. 

The Armored Black Dragon’s entire body was covered in black light. 

It was like a cocoon! 

Black light shot out in all directions! 

Accompanied by a dragon’s roar, the Armored Black Dragon broke through the black light. 

It evolved into the dark radiant form. 

At this time, all of the Armored Black Dragon’s flesh and blood disappeared. 

Only a pitch-black skeleton was left. 

Moreover, there was an incomparably hot black flame attached to the skeleton. 

However, its eyes were emitting blood-red flames. 

It looked incomparably terrifying! 

The Armored Black Dragon System interface also appeared in Zhou Ming’s mind. 

[Dark Radiant Black Dragon.] 

[Stage: Youth.] 

[Bloodline level: Epic!] 

[Level: Gold-Rank 9!] 

[Number of evolutions: one!] 

[Type: armed/Dragon attribute.] 

[Innate skill: Dark radiant possession, black flame roar.] 

“Even my bloodline and level have evolved!” 

Zhou Ming remembered that the armed black dragon was originally a king bloodline. 

It had suddenly broken through to epic rank! 

He was also extremely happy.
