Gao Ying and Pei You were injured, and although they had recovered somewhat over this period of time, they were not suitable for high-intensity combat, so they were left with the Crown Prince.

Of course, Bi Linglong was also cunning, so she had Pu Duandiao and Jiao Sigun guard the Eastern Palace's guards here.

She and Zuan, along with experts from various families, headed towards the bottom of the waterfall.

"Go Linglong! Go Linglong!" The prince, with his fat body, sat on a rock, eating the fruits prepared by the guards while cheerfully shouting slogans. To him, this trip was just a sightseeing tour. He was completely unaware of the dangers that were about to come, treating it as just watching an animal show.

Bi Linglong sighed softly, quickly composed herself, and led the group to the pool below the waterfall.

The pool was filled with misty steam, and with the ripples on the water, it was impossible to see what was inside.

Soon, someone threw the bait they had prepared into the pool. Blood gradually stained the water red, and soon a furious roar rang out: "Who dares to pollute my cave!"

The water in the pool seemed to boil instantly, and then a figure tens of feet tall rushed out of the water, hovering in mid-air, its lantern-sized eyes glaring angrily at the people on the pool's edge.

His brown vertical pupils were particularly intimidating, sending chills down everyone's spines.

"Are you sure this thing is a seventh-grade?" Liu Xian's voice trembled slightly as he looked at the enormous object in the sky.

Zhao Xi swallowed hard: "How come it's so big? It's much bigger than the size described in the intelligence report."

Meng Pan couldn't help but take a step back: "The pressure is much stronger than the intelligence reports."

Bi Linglong's voice turned cold: "No, it can speak human language, which is a sign of being above the eighth rank..."

Zu An corrected, "It's not the eighth rank, it's the ninth rank."

Bi Linglong's expression changed, and she hurriedly ordered, "Retreat quickly!"

As everyone knows, ferocious beasts of the same level are far more powerful than humans. Zuan can deal with peak eighth-rank beasts, but it is almost impossible for him to deal with ninth-rank beasts.

Retreating quickly, Bi Linglong was filled with doubt: "How can he be so much stronger than the intelligence reports?"

Her first thought was that it was a conspiracy between King Qi and the Grand Master of Ceremonies. However, she suddenly remembered that the ferocious beasts she had encountered along the way were much stronger than those in the intelligence reports. This secret realm was not only accessible to people from the academy. Her family had also entered it three years ago and had a general idea of ​​its strength. King Qi could not possibly have the power to make so many powerful ferocious beasts advance to the next level.

"You think you can leave? You think you can!" The dragon roared in mid-air, and waves of water shot out, forming a semi-transparent dome that blocked everyone's path.
