The demonic beast army behind them pursued relentlessly. The demonic beasts running on land were a little slower, but the flying demonic beasts in the air were all extremely fast and were constantly releasing ranged attacks to hunt down the human cultivators ahead.

These human trial participants were desperately trying to escape while also dodging attacks from behind, and they were all suffering terribly.

Despite their strength, any of them was confident they could kill a demon king in a one-on-one fight.

At this moment, no one dares to be slower than others.

Once you fall behind, you will be vulnerable to all attacks.

Lu Chen and Leng Yue quickly arrived at the location of the second stone tablet. A little further ahead, they entered a desolate place. Once they entered this desolate place, they would also be subjected to the powerful pressure of the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm, which would greatly reduce their speed.

But at this point, no one had any other choice.

"We can only pray that these monsters will also be oppressed, so that we might be able to escape this Hidden Dragon Realm alive."

Lu Chen thought to himself, then suddenly grabbed Leng Yue's hand and said, "We have to hurry, otherwise if we get stuck in this desolate place and these monsters catch up with us, we're doomed."

Even Lu Chen himself wouldn't dare take that risk.

The army of monsters I just saw was simply too many; even I wasn't entirely confident I could handle them with ease.

Of course, Lu Chen could enter the Demon Suppression Tower to avoid the attacks of these demonic beasts.

However, once the Demon-Suppressing Tower is exposed, the people of the Xuanwu Academy will likely find out very quickly.

Lu Chen didn't want things to turn out this way.

Moreover, Lu Chen was certain that since the people of Xuanwu Academy had set up the place this way, there must be a glimmer of hope. It was absolutely impossible for them to kill all the trial participants in the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm. If they did, what would be the point? Sure enough, as soon as Lu Chen and Leng Yue entered the desolate place, they were immediately subjected to this powerful pressure, and their speed suddenly decreased by more than ten times.

However, the two of them were already used to it.

Their speed decreased, and the other trial participants behind them quickly caught up. However, after passing through the second stone tablet, they, like Lu Chen and his companion, were also subjected to the pressure of the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm, and their speed suddenly decreased.

At this moment, a large number of demonic beasts rushed into this desolate land.

A large number of monsters flying rapidly through the air couldn't withstand the terrifying pressure and fell to the ground one by one.

In this Hidden Dragon Secret Realm, the only person who could barely manage to fly under such pressure was Lu Chen.

Even these demonic beasts were unable to maintain their original state under this powerful oppressive force.

Bird-like monsters are no exception.

These enormous birds landed one by one, still flapping their wings frantically, using their claws to run across the desolate land, continuing to hunt down all the test subjects.

Even demonic beasts slow down considerably once they enter this desolate place.

However, after glancing at it, Lu Chen still showed a hint of worry in his expression.

"These demonic beasts are indeed affected far less than us human cultivators."

Lu Chen saw that the other trainees behind him were being caught up one by one.

After all, their speed was much slower than Lu Chen's own.

Those enormous monsters that were born were known for their powerful physical bodies, so they could easily withstand this oppressive force.

Of course, this ease only applies to human cultivators.

"Help!"

A panicked cry came from behind, but no one paid any attention. At this critical moment, who would dare to turn around and save someone else? They might accidentally get themselves caught in the crossfire.

Lu Chen and Leng Yue were the fastest, constantly widening the gap between them, and were now only four hundred miles away from the first stone tablet.

The two of them easily left behind all the people behind them.

These people struggled desperately, constantly trying to escape forward.

Some people eventually exhausted their inner energy and could no longer hold on, resulting in them being completely overwhelmed by the endless army of demonic beasts behind them.

This time, it took Lu Chen and Leng Yue most of the day to reach the location of the first stone tablet.

Once you get here, just a little further ahead is the entrance to the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm. However, the entrance to the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm is still closed at this moment. The expert from the Xuanwu Academy has not opened the entrance.

Lu Chen's expression changed, and he stared intently at the entrance, feeling a growing anxiety in his heart.

If those monster armies really catch up to this place, and the entrance hasn't been opened yet, we're doomed.

Behind them, the deafening roar of the demonic beast army gradually rose, the earth was still trembling violently, and endless demonic energy swept in.

Leng Yue's expression was also solemn, but she remained calm and composed, without the slightest hint of panic.

At this moment, her hand was still being held tightly by Lu Chen, who seemed to have no intention of letting go.

Leng Yue lowered her head and glanced at him secretly, but pretended that she hadn't realized it either. She let Lu Chen hold her hand, but felt very safe in her heart.

Lu Chen wasn't intentionally taking advantage of Leng Yue; he had just been pulling Leng Yue along at breakneck speed, and hadn't quite caught his breath yet.

"Wait a moment. If the demon beast army comes here and the exit is still closed, we'll charge straight into the demon beast army."
