"What lies ahead should be the deepest part of the Fire Forest Secret Realm—the Endless Sea of Fire."
Following Lu Yuan's gaze, Luo Yueyi saw that not far ahead, the gray-black withered trees gradually decreased, and were replaced by raging flames.
Just as its name suggests.
There were endless flames everywhere.
Just standing at a distance and looking at it, you can almost feel the intense heat emanating from it.
"The environment and monsters ahead will become more dangerous. If you're only focused on exam results, hunting monsters or gathering herbs and ores in this area will suffice."
Lu Yuan sensed through the aura that there were only a few Xuanzhen-level demonic beasts around, which Luo Yueyi could easily handle with her strength.
"And what about you?"
Luo Yueyi ignored the implication in Lu Yuan's words and asked a question in return.
"I want to continue forward into the endless sea of fire," Lu Yuan replied without hesitation.
"Enter the endless sea of fire?" Luo Yueyi frowned slightly. "Do we really have to go? It seems very dangerous inside. Can you handle it?"
This wasn't because Luo Yueyi doubted Lu Yuan's abilities.
Rather, it was the elemental fluctuations emanating from the endless sea of fire that were simply too strong.
Even though they were still some distance from the endless sea of fire, she could feel the scorching heat of the flames hitting her face, making it easy to guess how high the temperature inside the endless sea of fire must be!
But Lu Yuan had already made up his mind; his main purpose in participating in the secret realm exam was to obtain the Phoenix Blood.
As the most precious treasure in the secret realm, Phoenix Blood is likely hidden in the most difficult-to-find location within the realm, so he must go to the Endless Sea of Fire, the most dangerous area.
Seeing that Lu Yuan was determined to leave, Luo Yueyi clenched her hands.
"I'll go with you to the endless sea of fire!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but frown.
"It's very dangerous inside."
He was willing to bring Luo Yueyi along entirely because of their previous relationship, but that was all he could bring her to.
After all, even he didn't know what the situation was inside the endless sea of fire. If he rashly brought Luo Yueyi in, the girl might become a burden to him.
He didn't want to have to take care of others while searching for the Phoenix Blood.
As if guessing what Lu Yuan was thinking, Luo Yueyi said firmly, "Don't worry, if the conditions of the Endless Sea of Fire exceed my tolerance, I will withdraw on my own without you having to say anything more!"
Lu Yuan stared intently at Luo Yueyi, remaining silent for a long time.
Under his gaze, Luo Yueyi couldn't help but swallow hard.
She really wanted to ask Lu Yuan why he insisted on going to the Endless Sea of Fire.
Lu Yuan wasn't the only one who had investigated the Fire Forest Secret Realm beforehand. As it was a freshman exam that concerned class placement scores, Luo Yueyi had already mastered all the basic information about the Fire Forest Secret Realm. Naturally, she also knew that the Endless Sea of Fire was the most dangerous area in the Fire Forest Secret Realm, and almost no candidates were willing to set foot there.
But why was Lu Yuan so determined to go to the Endless Sea of Fire?
However, she felt that even if she asked, Lu Yuan would definitely not answer her, so even though the question was on the tip of her tongue, she swallowed it back.
Lu Yuan's gaze remained fixed on her head, and Luo Yueyi lowered her head guiltily.
It seems Lu Yuan won't be taking me to the endless sea of fire.
never mind!
Anyway, as long as she can maintain a ranking in the top fifty, that's fine. She wants to follow Lu Yuan because there are some situations he can't handle on his own. But then she thinks about their experiences along the way, and even if she were to come along, she probably wouldn't be of much help, so she'd better not cause any trouble!
Just as she was about to give up the idea and leave, Lu Yuan unexpectedly nodded.
"Then come along, but let me make this clear beforehand: I have more important things to do and may not have time to take care of you!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Yueyi was overjoyed.
"Don't worry! I have a clear understanding of my own abilities and I will never force myself or hold you back!"
"That's fine then."
Lu Yuan glanced at her one last time, then turned and headed towards the endless sea of fire.
The closer you get to the endless sea of fire, the hotter the air becomes.
Luo Yueyi was already sweating profusely, her sportswear was soaked with sweat and clung tightly to her body, highlighting her exquisite curves.
In comparison.
This temperature seemed to have no effect on Lu Yuan.
"Ah Yuan, aren't you hot?"
Luo Yueyi tugged at the collar of her clothes, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin.
Lu Yuan glanced at it and quickly looked away, replying in a nonchalant tone, "It's not hot."
Even though he's not a fire-type beast tamer, don't forget that Crimson Phosphorus is still coiled around his wrist!
The heat in the surrounding area was absorbed directly by the red phosphorus and posed no threat to Lu Yuan.
Luo Yueyi didn't know how Lu Yuan could say the words "not hot," but her mind was already numb from the burning, and she didn't want to guess what was going on at all. She just nodded dryly.
Lu Yuan looked up at the sea of fire visible to the naked eye in the distance. It was already very close, probably only about ten kilometers away.
If we continue at this speed, we should arrive in about an hour and a half.
Lu Yuan mentally estimated the time.
If he can successfully obtain the Phoenix Blood in the Endless Sea of Fire, then he will still have some time left to go back and pick the Radiant White Fruit. Hopefully, no other knowledgeable people will pass by the Radiant White Forest!
Thinking this, Lu Yuan quickened his pace.
Luo Yueyi hurriedly followed, but inwardly she was filled with dread.
Brother!
Is Lu Yuan made of iron?
Such a harsh environment couldn't slow him down; it's simply insane!
Ultimately, it was she who insisted on following Lu Yuan, so despite her inner turmoil, she dared not show it on her face and could only grit her teeth and follow behind.
After walking for another half hour, Lu Yuan, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.
"Hmm!"
Luo Yueyi, who was following behind without paying attention, bumped into Lu Yuan's back. She immediately felt a lump in her throat and almost burst into tears.
"What's wrong?"
Confused, Luo Yueyi asked a question, only to find that Lu Yuan's expression suddenly became serious, and his face also became solemn.
"What did you find?"
Luo Yueyi leaned against Lu Yuan and asked in a low voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yuan's usual cold voice rang out.
"It seems we've stumbled into the territory of something else."
