The staff left chatting and laughing, as if the tense atmosphere just moments before was an illusion.

On the platform, Koizumi Seiryu patted his belly and touched his bald head with some confusion.

"Damn it, this event is a complete failure! How can I possibly showcase my heroism in such a confined space!"

He stood up, followed by two delicate young girls.

"Master, you have no new schedule this afternoon. Do you have any further instructions?"

Koizumi Seiryu was a little impatient. "In any case, let's arrange for someone to dismantle this teleportation device first. It's such a waste, it's completely useless."

“Yes, Master!” the two girls bowed in response.

At the lakeside cottage, Ye Qinghuan sat by the pool in the courtyard, wearing a bikini that she would never normally wear.

"Oh my, Qinghuan, you've finally come to terms with it? Are you brave enough to wear it out now?"

Lu Chengxiao walked out of the room, completely naked.

Ye Qinghuan looked at her and said, "What's there to be afraid of? There's no one else here."

Lu Chengxiao nodded. "That's true. Anyway, you're all women, so come here and let me hug you."

As he spoke, Lu Chengxiao's expression turned somewhat malicious.

Ye Qinghuan sat on the recliner and said subconsciously, "I don't want to, I just want... eh?"

As she was speaking, Ye Qinghuan suddenly blushed and froze, but then made a sound of some confusion.

"Who...who was that person again?"

...

The Fookie Islands, a hidden paradise.

An invisible wave emanated from the secret realm gate, then dissipated into the world, silently...changing everything.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Xiao regained his senses and found himself at the bottom of a deep blue sea.

Yes, beneath the deep blue sea...

Qin Xiao couldn't help but exclaim in amazement; this world was so beautiful and strange.

The sky is no longer just the sky, but an ocean that stretches across the entire field of vision!

Like jelly, the ocean was frozen and suspended above his head, with countless creatures swimming above him.

In the sky between the ocean and the sea, countless luminous objects floated and moved.

Like the sun, it moves slowly and rhythmically.

Qin Xiao looked with his True Sight Eye.

Atmospheric Light Mother, Diamond Rank 10, Red Talent, Skill: Unknown

Jellyfish mutation variant, unknown lineage, current status: None.

this...

Qin Xiao was stunned. This was too damn strange! A group of 'jellyfish' had mutated into the sun of this world...

After gazing at the ocean in the sky for a while, Qin Xiao finally came to his senses and began to observe other directions.

To be honest, apart from the ocean floating overhead instead of the sky, the ground is pretty much the same.

It's just that there's very little vegetation and the scenery is rather desolate.

Qin Xiao rode on Youyou and flew up. From high above, he could hardly find any visible water sources.

The water and the land are clearly separated.

Just as he was observing, a whooshing sound suddenly rang out.

However, it did not pose any threat, as it was blocked by Youyou's solid ice several meters away.

This is a long spear, carrying swirling air currents.

A minute later, a thin, girlish-looking woman walked over, riding a six-legged demon wolf.

"Wow, my luck is amazing! I've actually encountered the weakest player first..."

The woman looked on with delight, her eyes glued to Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao smiled. These small fry weren't even worth interrogating.

With a wave of his hand, Qin Xiao ignored him. Ilya appeared beside him and stomped down with her gigantic body.

The tendrils wrapped around Ilya's neck and chest snaked downwards, while the woman, desperately resisting Ilya's stomping foot, looked horrified.

Before they could react, a burst of dragon breath erupted from them.

Ten seconds later, it was stomped on by Ilya and shattered.

An ordinary Diamond-tier Pokémon would have almost no chance of fighting back against the attacks of two legendary Pokémon.

Ilya took out a spatial bracelet and held it in front of Qin Xiao.

"It's hard to say how strong these people are, but they should all be quite wealthy." This spatial bracelet is much more expensive than a spatial bead.

Some high-end bracelets can even create small secret realms to store tamed beasts.

However, at that price, it was destined to be unavailable to the general public.

I looked at the bracelet, put away some diamond-grade spirit crystals, and examined the rest, but they weren't of much value.

We can keep the bracelet for Qingya; these things are quite hard to find.

Moreover, since both Ye Qinghuan and her daughter Ye Qingya already had beast-taming spaces, they didn't have much need for this feature, so Qin Xiao didn't consider it.

Qin Xiao put away the bracelet and looked around at his surroundings.

"Forget it, let's just walk in any direction first and find out where the exit is. Then we can just block the door and be the sixth one."

This is Qin Xiao's current plan. After all, this secret realm is so vast that searching for each one would be exhausting.

Since these people are going to leave eventually anyway, it's better to guard the exit, deal with them one by one as they come, and still control the situation and assess the scores of the others.

However, I estimate that many others share his thoughts, and then it will come down to who has the stronger fist.

Sitting on Youyou's back, Qin Xiao didn't fly very high, mainly because he was numb from being harassed along the way.

From time to time, things would jump out of the 'sea' and rush towards them.

Fortunately, Qin Xiaofei was a bit too humble; he wasn't particularly interested in these small fry.

He held the blood-red teardrop in his hand.

"Speaking of which, didn't this girl say she wanted to collaborate with me? It's been almost half a day, what does that mean? Could she be dead?"

Qin Xiao sensed the teardrop but didn't react in any special way.

Qin Xiao put it away, shook his head, and lay back down. Ilya hugged his head and placed it against her chest.

"Master, don't worry, no matter how powerful the enemy ahead, we will surely kill them all!"

Qin Xiao shook his head and adjusted the angle of his brainwave.

"I'm not worried about that. I'm just wondering what the problem is with this secret realm?"

At this moment, in the very place where they first appeared, the place where that woman was killed by Ilya.

Tiny red pigments gradually seeped from the fragments of the corpse, slowly gathering together and heading towards the ocean.

Beyond the seemingly endless ocean lies a boundless starry sky.

A massive stone altar stood amidst the starry sky, and the bloodstain flew here and surged into the altar.

At the highest point, a blood-red, spiked crystal began to pulsate slightly.

Meanwhile, beneath the surface, in an unknown underground base.

"Watanabe-kun, the ceremony is now officially beginning!"

A Japanese man was reporting to a man next to him on a screen, which was showing surveillance footage of the altar in the starry sky.

The man's expression was cold. "The plan is about to begin. Let's squeeze the last drop of value out of these geniuses!"

"Operation Blood Tide has been launched!"
