Under the moonlight.
Luo Yueyi ran frantically.
Behind her, a highly venomous python of Earth Spirit level was hot on her heels, clearly not wanting to miss such a delicious prey.
"Damn it! Why is that highly venomous python still chasing us?!"
Luo Yueyi couldn't help but mutter angry curses under her breath.
She only picked a poisonous flower seed, is it really worth chasing her for so long?
She had been running for almost half an hour, and the highly venomous python was still chasing her!
If she had known that picking a poisonous flower would provoke a demonic beast of the Earth Spirit level, she definitely wouldn't have been so impulsive. After all, half an hour would have been enough time for her to pick several other herbs!
Luo Yueyi's current level is only at the ninth level of Xuanzhen, and she hasn't even broken through to the Earth Spirit level. She has no chance of winning against a venomous python of this level, so she can only try to escape.
She had been running at full speed for more than half an hour, and her spiritual energy was almost exhausted. If she could not shake off the venomous python within ten minutes, she would most likely perish here!
"Tsk!"
Thinking of this, Luo Yueyi gritted her teeth.
"Is withdrawing early the only option?"
She raised her hand and touched the bracelet on her wrist.
Although quitting now would mean she would be completely out of the top 50 in her exams, it's still better than losing her life because of greed.
Just as she was about to press the button on her wristband to exit the exam early, she noticed a faint light not far ahead.
"Strange, I haven't sensed any presence around here, so why did a light suddenly appear?"
Confused, Luo Yueyi instinctively ran towards the light.
result.
When she saw the area emitting the light, she couldn't help but stare in shock.
tent?!
With only three days for the exam, which student isn't racing against time to gather resources, afraid of having too few points when it's time to settle the score? Why would anyone bring a tent, something meant for resting?
wrong!
The real question is, why would anyone set up a tent in such a dangerous place as the secret realm?!
Aren't you afraid of being attacked by monsters while you're sleeping at night, and not even having time to escape?!
Which idiot is it?
Luo Yueyi cursed inwardly.
She glanced at the venomous python still chasing her, gritted her teeth, and prepared to turn around and continue her escape.
But just then, she suddenly saw someone come out of the tent.
"Oh dear! I completely forgot to put this lamp away. If it accidentally attracts a monster, I won't be able to sleep!"
"Ah Yuan?!"
Upon seeing the figure standing in front of the tent with a nonchalant expression, Luo Yueyi exclaimed in surprise.
Isn't that Lu Yuan?
How did he end up in this secret realm?
at the same time.
Lu Yuan, who came out to retrieve the lamp, also noticed Luo Yueyi not far away, as well as the highly venomous python following behind her.
"Holy crap! Yueyi, we've already met, why did you bring me such a huge gift?!"
Luo Yueyi was exhausted from escaping and had no time for joking with Lu Yuan. She immediately shouted, "I'll take this venomous python with me. You should take this opportunity to escape to another place!"
However.
No sooner had she finished speaking than a dark shadow darted past her and swallowed the venomous python that was chasing after it whole in one gulp.
"Hiccup~"
Red Phosphorus let out a satisfied burp, then slowly wagged its tail and walked back to Lu Yuan's side. Its nearly five-meter-long body gradually shrank until it was only the thickness of a thumb, wrapping around Lu Yuan's wrist.
"..."
Luo Yueyi fell silent.
A demonic beast of Earth Spirit level was swallowed up by that little snake?!
Faced with this almost fantastical turn of events, she had absolutely no idea how to react!
Instead, Lu Yuan spoke first, appearing nonchalant and irresponsible.
"Hey! What are you standing there for? Hurry up and come over, another monster is about to appear!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Yueyi, who was already traumatized by the venomous python, disregarded everything else and quickly walked to Lu Yuan's side. It wasn't until she stood at the tent entrance that she came to her senses.
"Ah Yuan, what are you doing here?"
Without even looking up, Lu Yuan used the cover of walking into the tent to take out a self-heating hot pot from his spatial storage.
"Are you hungry? Let's eat something first!"
"I don't……"
"Gurgle~!"
Before Luo Yueyi could finish speaking, a rumbling sound came from her stomach, making her blush instantly.
"Alright, hurry up and eat!"
Seeing this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but chuckle and handed the self-heating hot pot forward again.
Luo Yueyi no longer cared about her image and simply gave up, taking the self-heating hot pot and squatting down to start eating.
Lu Yuan kindly handed over a small stool, smiling as he instructed, "Eat slowly, it's still hot!"
"hiss!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Yueyi gasped as she was burned by the beef slices in the self-heating hot pot.
Then, turning her head, she saw Lu Yuan trying hard to suppress his laughter and blushed again.
"Laugh if you want to, don't hold it in!"
Luo Yueyi puffed out her cheeks and said angrily.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan touched his nose somewhat embarrassedly, then handed her a bottle of iced cola and even thoughtfully unscrewed the cap.
Luo Yueyi's eyes lit up when she saw the iced cola.
It was unbearably hot inside this secret realm. Heaven knows how much she wanted a sip of cool water, let alone an ice-cold cola!
Without any pretense, Luo Yueyi reached out and took the drink, taking a large gulp.
"call!"
Only after finishing the cola did Luo Yueyi finally let out a long, comfortable sigh, feeling as if she had come back to life.
Thank you!
After sincerely thanking Lu Yuan, she stared at the seemingly indifferent Lu Yuan for a long time before finally speaking softly.
"You're the student who was specially admitted to the academy this year, right? When I found out that the name of the specially admitted student was also Lu Yuan, I guessed it must be you. But when I mentioned this to you subtly last time we met, you acted like you didn't know anything, which made me lose confidence in my judgment!"
Lu Yuan didn't speak upon hearing this, but just smiled softly.
Seeing his expression, Luo Yueyi pouted and remained silent.
She knew Lu Yuan would never admit it, but it didn't matter, as long as she knew what was going on in her heart!
but……
"This is an exam!" Luo Yueyi glanced at the complete set of facilities around her, which looked like something out of a professional camping trip. "You don't actually think this is a good place for camping, and you're just here to relax and have some fun, do you?!"
Lu Yuan glanced at her, somewhat speechless.
Do I look like the kind of person who would have that kind of free time?
"..."
Luo Yueyi shrank her neck and did not answer.
But to be honest, she thinks it looks quite similar.
After all, she had never seen anyone bring a whole set of camping equipment to the Secret Realm Exam, not even self-heating hot pot and iced cola!
However, she certainly wouldn't dare say these words aloud, so she could only grumble to herself.
"So what are you going to do next?" Luo Yueyi asked softly.
She really wanted to ask Lu Yuan if he wanted to go further into the secret realm and if she could go with him, but recalling that he had always been alone when she met him before, she guessed that he was probably used to being alone. If she made a request rashly, he might dislike her, so she could only change her mind.
But she didn't know.
Her little thoughts were written all over her face; Lu Yuan could tell what she was thinking with just one glance.
"Let's rest tonight and talk about it tomorrow morning after we wake up."
After saying that.
Lu Yuan pulled out another tent from his spatial storage and quickly set it up while Luo Yueyi stared in disbelief.
"You can sleep in here."
After giving Luo Yueyi a final instruction, Lu Yuan turned and returned to his tent, making no further sound.
Seeing this, Luo Yueyi didn't say anything more. She glanced thoughtfully at the empty surroundings and then turned and went into the tent.
