According to Ellen's feedback, Fang Xuyang and his group are still about 2 hours away from Mu Chuyue.
Considering the speed of movement in the shadow space, both parties are currently within a safe range where they will not encounter each other unexpectedly.
Mu Huoyue asked Ellen to return to the [Rest Hut] to rest, and he entered a meditative state to recover his mental and physical energy.
By daybreak, the beastmaster and her contracted pets had recovered to their best condition.
On the second day of the wilderness survival competition, Mu Chuyue planned to take a look at the inaccessible area in the middle of the secret realm.
She was very concerned about the information Ellen brought back. The Lord of the Secret Realm was the points ceiling in this assessment. Understanding the situation first would also help in subsequent challenges.
What's more, as an official investigator of the Affairs Bureau, since I have entered the secret realm, there is no reason not to meet the master of the secret realm who is the core.
The closer you get to the center of the secret realm, the more lush the vegetation becomes.
The huge tropical plants blocked out the sun. Their leaves were thick and broad, each one was over two meters long. Vines of varying thickness were intertwined between the plants, almost blocking out the sunlight.
The ground was covered with soft bushes. The dark and humid environment was more suitable for the growth of ferns. Large patches of curled plants occupied the field of vision. Every step was slippery, and more effort was required to walk normally.
It became difficult to move forward. Even with the enhanced physique of the Beastmaster, he would feel tired after walking for a long time on such a road.
They also encountered many wild supernatural creatures along the way, all of which were defeated by White Fang, earning points.
After finally arriving at a relatively open area, Mu Huiyue prepared to stop and rest for a while, and at the same time replenish some of Bai Ya's energy.
She took out the energy cube from her backpack and turned around to see the little cloud dog squatting on the ground, looking up at the fruits growing on a thick vine.
It was an oval fruit with a gradient of green and red, and its shape was a bit like a round guava. It was hanging abruptly on a vine that shouldn't have borne fruit, exuding an extremely tempting scent.
Even though she was so far away, Mu Chuyue was a little bewitched by the fruit. She wanted to get closer and smell its sweet scent, and pick one to have a taste.
Not to mention White Fang, who made a greedy gurgling sound in his throat, his tail shaking behind him unconsciously, and looked like he was filled with desire for the fruit.
However, the Beastmaster had specifically emphasized before the assessment that the food could only be given by her personally, and that other foods could not be eaten casually.
Although he was extremely greedy, White Fang still suppressed his aroused appetite and stayed where he was without moving.
"No, you can't eat that kind of fruit..."
A weak voice came from behind. Mu Huiyue turned around and saw a girl with a bitter face appearing behind the thick palm tree. She looked like a contestant of the same age as her.
A pet the size of a black panther was following the girl vigilantly, with a fiery red flame burning at the end of its tail and a circle of thick fur around its neck that was like ash and sparks floating on it.
The girl was extremely beautiful. Even though she was wearing a gray training uniform, it was difficult to hide her bright appearance. Just a slight frown could move the hearts of those around her.
Mu Huoyue remembered this face, Wen Li, a popular contestant from the capital's Beast Master High School and the daughter of the famous performing master Wen Chuanqi.
In Kumasi's inventory video, she is accompanied by the Flametail Cat, which has now completed its evolution.
[Name]: Flame Attack Cat
[Attribute]: Fire
[Racial Level]: High-level warrior
[Growth Level]: Growth Stage 1
[Talent Core]: Flame Wheel (Fire Element C Level)
[Race Introduction]: The evolved form of the Flametail Cat. The high-temperature flame burning on its tail represents vitality. He is good at increasing the internal temperature to break through the limit and use powerful offensive skills.
[Normal hidden energy value]: 12688P
Wen Li pinched her neck painfully, as if she wanted to spit out something she had swallowed, but after trying for a long time, she still failed.
"Those fruits are very strange... They seem to cause hallucinations and disrupt perception, cough cough..."
"Meow..." Yan Xi Miao nudged the beastmaster's waist with some concern.
"I know." Mu Shuyue was slightly stunned, then replied, "Guava flowers are a high-level elite species of the wood element. Their characteristic is that they produce fruits with a sweet smell. After eating them, extraordinary creatures will hallucinate and become puppets controlled by guava flowers."
The representative pet of Lizhou Lishang Beastmaster High School. Almost every graduate from that school has a guava flower. This is information known to all contestants.
Although he didn't know how they made the guava fruits grow on the vines of Nowhere Man, the moment he saw these fruits, Mu Chuyue had guessed their source.
She paused after saying this. The illustrated book only mentioned the effect of the guava fruit on supernatural creatures, but had not seen the reaction of humans after eating it...
Wen Li was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something, "It was actually the people from Lizhou who did this?!"
Even with such a slightly exaggerated expression, the beauty's expression is still pleasing to the eye.
Mu Huoyue took out the antidote for beastmasters from her bag and walked towards the competitor who had kindly reminded her but was unable to protect himself.
She didn't know if the antidote would work, and this was the only remedy she could think of now.
Flame Raider's fur stood on end as she approached him, but when it sensed that Mu Shuyue had no hostility, the panther-like cat turned back to the beastmaster.
"I don't need an antidote." Wen Li shook her head, one hand still on her throat, looking a little embarrassed. "Compared to this, do you have anything to eat? High-energy food is best..."
Mu Huoyue thought about it and took out a compressed energy block from his backpack.
This is a special compressed food for Beastmasters. It uses different kinds of extraordinary resources. It is difficult for ordinary people to digest and the taste is not very good, but it can quickly restore the Beastmaster's strength.
When Wen Li saw the energy cube handed over by Mu Liuyue, her eyes lit up and she took it while thanking him.
That look gave Mu Chuyue a sense of familiarity. It was not until the girl began to wolf down the food that Mu Chuyue recalled that this was exactly the same expression that Bai Ya had when he saw her serving the special food!
She lowered her head and touched the little cloud dog that came to her side.
White Fang was still very greedy for the guava fruit. He whined and looked towards the vines, his tail wagging gently but his body did not move at all.
Mu Huoyue was very pleased that it was able to restrain its instincts and was not directly tempted by the guava fruit.
Well... in terms of this performance, Bai Ya might be even better than Wen Li.
Wen Li ate all the energy cubes Mu Huoyue gave her in one breath, let out a long sigh, and felt that she was finally alive.
A ray of golden light like a high-temperature flame ignited in her eyes, and the light then spread to her entire body. She seemed to be burned by the flames in her body.
Inherited beast taming talent: burning blood.
It is rumored that the Blood-Burning Talent is inextricably linked to the power of the Sun Phoenix, and can burn all unclean things, including various diseases and toxins in the body. It is not only effective in pet battles and training, but can also change the physique of the Beastmaster himself.
No wonder Wen Li dared to eat the strange fruits in the wild. The usual toxins and negative effects were useless against the Blood Burning Talent.
Finally dispelling the strange hallucination, Wen Li released the hand that was around her neck, and her complexion returned to normal.
"Thank you!" The beautiful girl looked over with shining eyes, a look of lingering fear on her face.
"I thought I was in trouble this time. Luckily I met you. Um... what's your name?"
"Mu Shuyue."
The surname sounded familiar. Wen Li looked at the white-haired puppy squatting beside the other person. It was a relatively rare pet of the medium-level warrior race in the capital area, the Little Cloud Dog.
"I remember now, you are the daughter of Mu Chuanqi?" Wen Li understood, then realized that what she said was inappropriate, shook her head and changed her words, "I should call you the beastmaster of Little Cloud Dog."
"I'm Wen Li, if possible, I hope you can..."
"Yes, the beastmaster of Flame Raider." Mu Liuyue nodded and called Wen Li that.
The girl in front of him inherited the appearance and blood talent from her parents, but she did not contract a pet in the initial form of the Vermilion Flame Bird, nor did she become a beast taming performer, which was enough to explain her thoughts.
It just so happened that Mu Huoyue didn't want to be forever associated with her father when she was mentioned.
"Meow!" When Yan Ximiao heard someone talking about him, he cried out happily and wagged his tail behind him.
Wen Li's eyes lit up again. Although she was a Great Flame person with black hair and black eyes, her eyes were extremely bright, as if there was a faint flame burning in them, and filled with vivid emotions.
She walked up to Mu Shuyue and held her hand, "I knew you would understand! From now on we are good friends, Shuyue!"
Mu Chuyue couldn't help but be stunned, but she didn't pull her hand away.
In her experiences in both worlds, she was not considered an outgoing and cheerful person. After coming to this world, she had few human friends. This was the first time that she was treated so intimately by a peer.
"Woof?" White Fang looked at the two of them. Since it was friends with its own beastmaster, it should also get familiar with the other's pet, right?
The little cloud dog walked slowly forward and wagged its tail at the Flame Attack Meow. The black and red big cat looked down at the white-haired little dog, but did not show its arrogant side. It also wagged its tail in response.
Compared to the slightly jumpy Beast Tamer, Flame Attack Cat appears to be much more stable.
Mu Shuyue stroked Baiya's fluffy head, looked at Wenli who was teaching Yanxi Miao to respond more enthusiastically, and asked, "Wenli, why did you eat the guava fruit?"
The students who entered the qualifying round assessment were all the best from the Beast Taming High Schools in various places. Wen Li's ranking was "26th", and this was when she was with Flametail Cat. It would only be higher now. There was no reason for her not to remember the information about Guava Flower.
"On the first day, I lost my backpack containing dry food..."
Wen Li scratched her cheek shyly. "I didn't think it was a big problem at the time. There was no shortage of food sources in the dense forest anyway. I wasn't afraid of eating something weird, and Ah Miao could help me roast it."
"Meow..." Yan Ximiao couldn't help but sigh. His own beastmaster was such an unreliable person.
"In the end, I didn't find anything edible along the way. I was so hungry that I lost my mind. Finally, I saw a very tempting fruit..."
Wen Li also sighed, with the same expression and posture as Yan Xi Miao, "Before the assessment began, the teacher showed us the information of outstanding players from other regions, but how could we have thought of so much at that time."
"I didn't realize something was wrong until I started hallucinating. It turned out I was so hungry that I couldn't even activate my Beast Taming talent."
She turned her head and smiled brightly: "I'm glad I met you, Hiiragi."
Mu Yuyue paused. Occasionally, among beastmasters, there are people like Wen Li who rely purely on their talent and toughness...
The two talked for a while, and when Wen Li had almost recovered, Mu Liuyue left some food for her.
Anyway, I brought enough energy cubes, and Ellen still had a lot of them in the shadow, so it wouldn't hurt to use some of them to help the classmates in trouble.
It's definitely not because I want to see the cute expression of a beautiful girl with white teeth and bright eyes.
As he spoke, the nearby bushes moved, and wild supernatural creatures popped up one after another.
These extraordinary creatures come from the sky, the woods, the swamps, the ground...
They shouldn't appear in a crowded environment at the same time, and the vital places are empty, without crystals representing points.
As expected, it appeared... the puppet of Guava Flower.
Mu Chuyue turned around and saw that the little cloud dog beside him had already entered combat mode, baring its fangs and letting out a threatening growl from its throat.
