Listen, Tick, we're here to explore the secret realm, not to have a picnic. Put away your damn cooking utensils, it's not time for steak and red wine!
My dear Ms. Jessie, I understand what you mean, but this demon beef, after Douglas's energy conversion, has become very firm, and it's B-grade. The taste is incomparable to those artificially raised D-grade bulls. If you don't try it, you'll regret it for the rest of your life!
Oh, Tick, I understand Jessie. You don't need to explain so much. You just need to give her more steak later. Yes, that's right. I suggest you add more pepper, and a little cumin too. Jessie likes that flavor.
Archie, turn down the fire. Are you going to serve everyone charcoal? As a late B-grade fire-attribute esper, your fire control is worse than my neighbor Mrs. Lucy's daughter, who just awakened her fire ability!
Captain Pete, the smell of the grilled meat inside the air shield is too strong. If we smell too much, we'll lose our appetite. Compress them quickly!
In a clearing in the forest, six men and women of various skin tones and exotic appearances gathered. Not far from them was a demon bull the size of an elephant, and the best parts of its meat had already been cut into several large pieces.
Among the six, the space-attribute esper called Tick was grilling steak, and the fire-attribute esper named Archie was stoking the fire. The others were gathered around, watching with interest.
Soon, the grilled steak was ready, divided into six large portions, and placed on a table. Besides that, there was also a large plate of vegetable salad.
Cheers~
After the dishes were prepared, the six people sat around, holding their wine glasses, and after a lively toast, they began to elegantly enjoy their steak.
Oh, my dear Mr. Tick, thank you for your hospitality. It's getting late, and I should rest. Good night! After eating, Jessie elegantly wiped her lips with a handkerchief and turned to leave.
Listen, Jessie, the secret realm space only has night and no day. If you continue to be so passive about exploring the secret realm, don't blame me for being impolite! A man with gold-rimmed glasses and disheveled hair said coldly.
He was the highest-ranked among the six, the temporary captain of the team, peak B-grade, with the ability to control air.
Don't be angry, my dear Captain Pete. I just saw everyone was a bit bored after eating and wanted to liven up the atmosphere! Jessie shrugged.
What a boring joke! The black man Douglas sneered.
We're lucky. I can feel fresh, recently emitted dark spirit energy mixed in the air. This means that within fifty miles, there might be a spirit energy vein. I just don't know how far away it is. We need to rush over and find it. If we're lucky, we might even get extra spirit energy metal. That would be a huge profit!
Pete said with a smile, which was the reason he was in such a hurry.
As soon as he said this, everyone was immediately excited.
This is really good news!
If we find it, then my new weapon will have a source!
Upon hearing about the spirit energy vein, everyone except Jessie, who had already finished eating, sped up their eating. Soon, they finished their food and were ready to go.
Then, Pete cast an air shield on each of them, isolating their aura. Afterward, they took to the sky and began to fly in the direction of the spirit energy vein.
However, after flying for more than twenty miles and entering the swamp area, dozens of black arrows suddenly shot out from the swamp towards the six people flying. Three of them, Jessie, Louis, and the black man Douglas, who had lower cultivation, narrowly avoided vital hits but were directly pierced and spat blood on the spot.
Damn it, they're black snakes! Their penetration power is too strong, my air wall can't block them. Retreat quickly!
Fly higher, fly higher!
Fuck! A pterosaur has found us and is flying towards us. Fly low, let the black snakes deal with it, run!
I told you we should rest first, damn it!
Time passed quietly.
Why can't I summon? Yu Zhibo stayed in his space, feeling the information transmitted after the clone on his mother's side dissipated, with a confused expression.
In his arms, Mo Yu was lazily curled up into a cat ball, sleeping comfortably.
What Yu Zhibo didn't know was that secret realm spaces were formed by at least A-grade or higher demon beasts breaking through wormholes. The moment they formed, the space barrier was completely sealed. Entry and exit could only be through secret realm passages, and spatial teleportation was impossible.
The reason he could enter the World Heart fragment space was mainly because the World Heart fragment had merged with him, equivalent to a part of his body, so he was able to escape spatial restrictions and enter and exit at will.
After racking his brain, Yu Zhibo pondered for a moment and decided to test it himself. He immediately bit his finger and slapped it on the ground.
The ground was empty, and Temo didn't come.
Although I don't know why, my plan to relax in the real world while exploring the secret realm has fallen through! Yu Zhibo said with a sigh, he had even put his clone in Mo Yu's space.
Looking at the incomplete summoning runes on the ground slowly dissipating, Yu Zhibo no longer dwelled on it. He patted Mo Yu awake and asked it to spit out the clone from the space.
It's been 8 hours since the last clone died. The demon bats outside should have left by now, right? Yu Zhibo rubbed his chin and muttered.
Beside him, the clone's mouth twitched. Sharing Yu Zhibo's memories, it knew what was outside.
Go out and check if there's any danger around. If not, go find the captain and the others! After giving the order, Yu Zhibo sent out the clone and closed his eyes, preparing to endure the coming pain.
But there was no abnormality.
Have they already run away? Yu Zhibo's expression was a little surprised, but fearing a trap, he observed his spiritual power for a while. Finding that it hadn't fully recovered, he decided to play it safe and make a decision after the clone dissipated.
Then, he hugged Mo Yu and lay down in the space, falling into a deep sleep.
He didn't know how long passed before he was awakened by a sharp pain.
Then he began to process the information brought by the clone.
During this time, the clone had explored the surroundings except for the vein. Finally, when its lifespan was about to end, it was ambushed and killed by a low-grade B demon scorpion.
No matter what, let's leave this place first! Yu Zhibo remembered the feeling of eight clones dying simultaneously not long ago and wanted to get away from this painful place.
Then, he created another clone to explore the surroundings and instructed it to dissipate on its own after 10 minutes to bring back information.
Ten minutes later, Yu Zhibo, confirming his safety again, moved his mind, left the black cat in the space, and left the pure land space himself.
As soon as he appeared in the outside world, Yu Zhibo realized that his feet were no longer on the ground but on a lake.
However, because he had received information from the clone, he was prepared. He adjusted his body and stepped onto the surface of the lake below.
Yu Zhibo knew how this lake was formed.
After his mysterious disappearance, the chaotic demon bats, after waiting for him for a long time with no results, went berserk and directly caused massive destruction at the spot where he disappeared. The terrifying attacks directly gouged out a large pit in the ground, even affecting an underground water vein, and then this lake gradually formed.
Around the lake, there were countless collapsed trees and some small wild beasts that had been killed by the demon bats' mental energy, which showed how terrifying the demon bats' destructive power was.
Worried that there might be unknown creatures hidden in the lake, Yu Zhibo did not delay. He ran on the surface of the lake along the route previously taken by the shadow clone, and soon returned to the dense forest.
In this dark secret realm where B-grades were as common as dogs and C-grades were everywhere, Yu Zhibo dared not be careless. He followed the route previously explored by the clone, carefully avoiding the demon scorpion that had killed the clone, and walked and leaped alone in the dense forest, cautiously, as if walking on thin ice.
After reaching the end of the safe zone detected by the clone, Yu Zhibo created another clone to scout ahead, while he cautiously followed behind.
As for Mo Yu, he didn't release it at all, because Mo Yu was even weaker than him.
This time, the scout ahead was the steady clone.
The steady clone's expression was solemn. With his scarlet Sharingan activated, he leaped among the huge overgrown tree trunks. As he leaped, he suddenly noticed traces of blood on a tree trunk that had grown horizontally.
Blood? Is it the captain's? The steady clone frowned. After looking for a while, he found more bloodstains ahead, so he continued to leap forward.
Following the bloodstains, the further he chased, the more he felt something was wrong: the captain shouldn't be this stupid, or perhaps their injuries were too severe, so they couldn't handle the traces?
He had a vague feeling that something was wrong. After thinking for a moment, he channeled his spirit energy to his fingers and wrote the word "stop" on several conspicuous trees, then continued to chase forward.
After another ten miles, he suddenly felt the air become turbid, and an invisible air cage suddenly appeared, trapping him and rendering him unable to move.
The next moment, his vision blurred, and a blond, blue-eyed man wearing gold-rimmed glasses appeared in front of him, looking at him with surprise: Who are you?
Along with the appearance of the blond man, five more figures appeared vaguely behind him, three men and two women. Three of them were extremely disheveled, with blood dripping from their bodies, all injured to varying degrees.
At this moment, they were all looking at him with surprise. Upon noticing the golden dragon emblem on his combat suit collar, their faces began to show playful expressions.
Sensing the malice from these people, the steady clone pondered for a few seconds. The red light in his scarlet Sharingan flashed, and he said, Look into my eyes. In my eyes, you will find all the answers you seek.
Interesting. Do you think your C-grade mental power can harm me?
The blond man said a sentence in Chinese, then a cold smile appeared on his lips. He then separated a wisp of his spirit and integrated it into the mental vortex created by his Sharingan.
He didn't believe Yu Zhibo would really tell him the so-called answers, but he wanted to use his B-grade mental power to hypnotize Yu Zhibo and obtain all the information he wanted.
Then, he saw an endless sea of feces surging towards him, with all sorts of excrement clearly visible, infinitely magnified before his eyes.
The next moment, the illusion of the sea of feces completely collapsed.
Undoubtedly, the illusion of the sea of feces was instantly broken by his immense mental power. However, some things, you don't need to look for long. Just a glance is enough to cause harm.
Ugh~
