The perception of time became extremely chaotic, as if only a moment had passed, and yet it seemed as if an extremely long time had passed.

Mu Huoyue was tossed up and down in the waves of her subconsciousness. After drifting for an unknown period of time, she finally regained most of her senses and felt control over her body again.

I slowly opened my eyes, and all I saw were vast expanses of wild grass.

She was sitting on the muddy ground, supporting herself with her hands. Her arms were bruised, and there were a few stains of mud and dust on her cuffs and trouser legs, as if she had fallen from a great height and was instinctively stabilizing her body.

Mu Liuyue rubbed his aching brows, and it took him a while to recover his last memory before he lost consciousness.

Jing Heng asked her to leave Phoenix Mountain with Xiang Xun, report the current situation to the Affairs Bureau, and prepare to enter the super S-level secret realm which was inferred to be the "Outer Star Sea" alone.

She wanted to ask Jing Heng whether this was his judgment as an A-level investigator or advice from King Xia Jing Heng, but before she opened her mouth, she saw the connection point expanding into Xingxuan, and then she completely lost consciousness.

Judging from her body's reactions, her condition was very similar to that of someone who had passed through the Flash Period Secret Realm without protection. After all, the incident happened suddenly, and she had no chance to activate the [Mind Calibration Mode] on the investigator's bracelet.

Mu Huoyue looked forward. She was in a place that looked like the wilderness. Half-human-high weeds covered her vision in patches. The sky was blue and clear, and the air was fresh, just like any ordinary wilderness in reality.

She looked at the reading on the investigator's bracelet again. Even after adjusting it to the detection mode within the secret realm, there was nothing abnormal in the bracelet reading.

The hidden energy of the region here stops at below 300wP, the lowest range. Not to mention an E-level secret realm, it's not even an area in the late fusion period. This is an ordinary area that has not yet been affected by the advent of the secret realm.

Mu Chuyue couldn't understand why she was in an ordinary area?

Judging from the situation before she lost consciousness, it is most likely that she was sucked into the "Outer Star Sea". The sequelae of headache and dizziness now also prove that she had just passed through a secret realm in the flash period not long ago.

However, she came to an ordinary area.

His clothes were exactly the same as before. Mu Huiyue took out his cell phone from his pocket, but as expected, there was no signal.

She checked the condition of the investigator's bracelet again. Most of the functions could be used as usual, but the contact function turned gray, the forum could not be entered, and the time display turned into a string of garbled characters.

Mu Chuyue thought for a moment, closed his eyes, and sank his consciousness into the beast taming space.

Life here is still peaceful and tranquil. The lush World Tree stands in the center of the ranch. The farmland is thriving under Harvey's care. White Fang lies in the rest hut, resting his head on his bones with his eyes closed.

After sensing the breath of the beastmaster, both pets reacted. Bai Ya quickly ran over and rubbed Mu Chuyue's cheek intimately with a wolf kiss. Harvey's crow also flew onto her shoulder.

The shadow under her feet extended forward, and Eren emerged from the shadow and walked to Mu Shuyue's side.

The pets seemed to be in normal condition. Mu Liuyue asked the three companions about their feelings one by one. They seemed to be completely unaware of the previous changes and were still preparing for the possible battle in Phoenix Mountain.

"Even Eren didn't notice it..." Mu Huoyue frowned slightly.

The shadow space is very sensitive to changes in the external world. If even Ellen didn't notice anything abnormal, was she really experiencing "abnormality"?

Thinking of this, Mu Liuyue pinched her face hard.

The pain is clear and my thinking is not affected at all, so the possibility of being in a dream can basically be ruled out.

Mu Chuyue also thought that it was not a dream. Entering a dream targets the mental power of a single individual. Since everything in her beast-controlling space was normal and her pets were all around her, she couldn't be dreaming.

Judging from the situations of her companions and herself, she was sucked in here in the same state.

It’s neither a secret place nor a dreamland, so where on earth did she come to…?

Mu Chuyue's heart suddenly moved, and she seemed to sense something, and noticed a slight movement in the beast-taming space.

She found an extraordinary resource stored in the Beast Taming Space, which was a reward from the Beast Tamer Association. Xiao Meng appeared secretly and strongly recommended that she choose the S-level resource [Phoenix Tail Feather] with both dark and fire attributes.

This dark purple feather, which was half a meter long and emitted little sparks, was burning for no reason at this moment. It seemed as if it had exhausted all its energy and was turning into ashes bit by bit in Mu Chuyue's hand.

The pets all gathered around, not understanding why the [Phoenix Tail Feathers] were suddenly consumed.

This S-level extraordinary resource has enormous hidden energy. Since its purpose is unclear, it has been stored in Mu Liuyue's beast taming space since it was brought back from the Beast Tamer Association headquarters.

She had never taken the [Phoenix Tail Feather] out of the Beast Taming Space, so it was impossible for any external force to consume it.

Unless it is about Mu Huiyue herself... Could it be that the energy of this tail feather brought her here?

After staring at the dissipating ashes in his hand for a while, Mu Huoyue opened his eyes in reality.

Ellen returned along with her consciousness, once again merging into the Beastmaster's shadow.

There's no point in thinking so much by yourself, let's see if we can find any clues nearby.

Mu Chuyue looked ahead and there seemed to be something else beyond the wilderness covered with weeds.

Eren acted as a scout, sneaking through the shadows to explore the situation in the distance, while Mu Huoyue continued to move forward.

Not long after, the soldiers brought back information from the front. Outside the wilderness, they saw large tracts of cultivated fields and livestock. It looked like a small and lively village.

Mu Huoyue planned to go to the village to check out the situation. When she was close enough to see the houses in the village, she met a young man who was carrying firewood and walking towards the village.

The other party also saw her, put down the two bundles of firewood that were taller than him, and asked with concern: "Miss, are you hurt? Do you need my help...?"

Next to him was a supernatural creature that looked like a coyote. It was a member of the wood-type medium-level warrior race, the Bamboo Wolf. At this moment, it tilted its head and looked at Mu Chuyue, with no intention of being alert at all.

The young man's voice was a little hesitant. He just realized that the person in front of him was dressed very strangely, and there was surprise in his expression when he looked at him, which was very unusual.

Mu Chuyue almost couldn't hold back her expression. This young man looked at least very similar to Jing Heng!

It cannot be said that they are exactly the same. After all, the Jing Heng she knew looked like a young man in his early thirties, while the boy in front of her was more like the young Jing Heng.

She calmed herself down and told the boy in a gentle voice that she was indeed injured and hoped to get his help.

The boy, who was similar to Jing Heng, was kind-hearted. He took Mu Chuyue back to his home, helped her clean and bandage her wounds, and changed her into clean and suitable clothes.

The only injuries on Mu Huoyue's body were suspected to be minor scratches during the landing, which was really nothing serious. The person who took care of her cleaning and changing clothes was the boy's mother, a capable and strong woman.

When the two of them packed up and came out, Mu Huoyue heard the boy's father educating him.

"Jing Erliang, how many times have I told you not to bring back random things from outside, such as injured beasts and lost mushrooms? You are almost squandering all my wealth!"

Before the man could finish his words, his wife slapped him on the back of his head, "Why do you say that the little girl was picked up randomly?"

The woman smiled at Mu Yuyue, then looked at her son and said, "It's a good thing to help others. When you have the energy to spare, you should do your best to help those in need."

She looked at the bamboo wolf squatting on the ground with a look of despair, and added, "The same goes for beasts in trouble."

"I know, mother." The boy obviously liked her statement more, and seeing his father was about to take action, he quickly hid behind the woman.

"Besides, we are not the only ones who are paying. The lost mushroom brought back a big deer that was stunned by its spores after returning to the forest. It is enough for my family to eat for the whole winter." said the woman.

"That's the Shy Mushroom, mother." The boy replied with a smile.

"Woo." The bamboo wolf that shrank to the boy's feet swung its tail in agreement. It was also rescued by the boy.

The family's topic then turned to the story of mushrooms and deer, but Mu Huoyue's heart was in turmoil.

Because of Ruoming, she once learned about Jing Heng's life in detail in the database of the Affairs Bureau.

He was the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, but was born in a village in the southern part of Dayan. He awakened as a beastmaster at the age of fifteen. Except for his good talent in beastmastering, his other qualifications were ordinary. It was not until he emerged as a rising star in the beast chaos and fought against natural disasters together with the Sun Phoenix that he showed his potential to be an emperor.

Jing Heng was not originally called Jing Heng. Heng means measurement, equality and balance of things. It is an instrument for kings to correct astronomy. Ordinary people would not give their children such a name.

Heng was the name he gave himself when he ascended the throne. Before that, there were many different opinions about what Jing Heng's real name was, and there were also a large number of discussion posts on this topic on the forum of the Affairs Bureau.

Mu Shuyue remembered that there was a reply saying that his parents named him [Jing Erliang], and his forum avatar was a otaku using the icon of a warm idol fan club.

This reply was ridiculed at the time, and some people complained that it was so unsophisticated, right? It would be better to call it [Jing Gou Sheng], which sounds more down-to-earth.

After meeting Jing Heng in person, Mu Chuyue felt that the credibility of that reply increased a lot, and it might be that it was left by Jing Heng himself.

And now, she heard this name again, and it belonged to a young man who looked extremely similar to Jing Heng, almost a younger version of Jing Heng.

Looking back, the style of the houses in this village, the villagers’ clothing, the tools used in the fields, and the structure of the houses are all very... old-fashioned.

The most remote and poorest mountain villages in Dayan have also been modernized. Even film crews rarely find such ancient and primitive old houses, let alone live here.

There is also the bamboo wolf, which has a short snout and a long tail. It was the bamboo wolf when it was just born from the secret realm hundreds of years ago.

After that, the season in the southern part of Da Yan suddenly changed due to natural disasters. The bamboo wolves that merged with the local area also evolved new physical features in order to survive. They became the long snouts and long tails that were later known to humans, and the middle of their bodies were split into two sections, like the shape of a bamboo joint.

Combining all the information and inferring, Mu Huoyue couldn't help but have an absurd idea in his mind.

Could it be that she was brought back to the Great Yan where Jing Heng was more than six hundred years ago by the expanding star wheel and the melting phoenix tail feathers... ?
