Examiners, dressed in formal attire and sporting purple armbands, stood around the 600 examinees. Space-based exotic beasts sat or stood beside them. Behind them lay the boundless red earth continent and the vast entrance to a secret realm, gleaming with white light.
"Attention, candidates!"
"This assessment will last for one month. Task 1: Find the mission balls!... Before the exam began, the assessment team placed 5,000 red, black, and white balls throughout the exam room. You need to collect mission balls of each color. Red balls add 100 points, black balls 50 points, and white balls 10 points. However, red balls are the least numerous, while white balls are the most. I hope you will work hard to collect them!"
"Next, Mission 2: Hunting Exotic Beasts! According to our preliminary investigation, the highest level of Exotic Beasts in this five-star secret realm is Level 8! The timer starts the moment you enter the Tundra Secret Realm. The more Exotic Beasts you hunt, the higher your points! Once you begin hunting Exotic Beasts, you can activate your points bracelet to live stream your hunt. The points bracelet has a 360-degree, 20-meter live broadcast function. We will use the battle videos to score your results! Level 4 Exotic Beasts are 5 points, Level 5 Exotic Beasts are 25 points, and each level of Exotic Beasts above that multiply your points by 5!"
"That is to say!"
"If anyone of you can kill an eighth-level monster in one go, you can directly earn 3125 points!"
"Also! Every candidate who stays in the Five-Star Secret Realm for a full month will receive an additional 5,000 points!"
The examiner, dressed in black, sat on the back of a flying bird, looking down from above and speaking loudly to all the contestants below.
It was obvious that the opponent was flying at a high altitude. Song Yu, standing on the red soil road below, could not even see the opponent's facial features clearly, but through the special ability of the contracted beast, his deep and powerful voice could be heard by every candidate.
"..." Song Yu raised his eyelids and subconsciously looked at the examiner above his head.
The other party was clearly speaking a language from another country, but to her it sounded like a built-in translation effect.
Although Song Yu still couldn't accurately call out the names of all his contracted beasts, judging by the examiner's flying beast, it was likely a dual-type flying and spiritual beast. Only spiritual beasts could communicate through telepathy, accurately conveying their meaning without needing to understand the words spoken, a feat even more impressive than simultaneous interpretation.
However, spiritual beasts that can achieve this usually need to reach the sixth level or possess special skills.
Therefore, capable diplomats nowadays usually bring high-level spiritual contracted beasts instead of translators.
Song Yu's eyelashes moved slightly, and she continued to listen to the examiner while sighing at the differences between the other world and the earth.
At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh subconsciously at the cruelty of the test. He was afraid that for the next period of time, all the fourth-level and above secret beasts in the Red Earth Tundra Secret Realm would be in trouble. Thinking of the four little creatures living in the Beast Taming Space, Song Yu couldn't help but frown.
The examiner had a serious look in his eyes, his dark pupils were like the abyss, and his muscular build made him look both burly and murderous.
"I hope each of you can hunt enough exotic beasts and find the three-colored balls hidden in every corner of the secret realm!"
"But there are a few points that all candidates must pay attention to!"
The examiner had a stern face and said in a cold voice, "1. You are not allowed to kill other candidates without reason! Especially high-level beastmasters like those at level 8 and level 9. You are not allowed to kill other candidates without reason. Otherwise, you will be hunted down by the members of the Global Professional Beastmaster Guild!"
"2. In this exam, if you defeat your opponent and render them incapable of fighting, or force them to surrender, you will receive half of their points! However, this assessment does not allow candidates to exploit loopholes and challenge the same candidate repeatedly! This means that a candidate can only gain points from a competitor once at most! And the opponent cannot be a candidate from your own country!"
"3. The seven days before the assessment competition are the preliminary round. Unless seriously injured, candidates are not allowed to leave the examination room! After seven days, if any candidate feels that they are not strong enough, they may request assistance and leave the examination room!"
The examiner's normally tanned skin now resembled a cold, dark face. He spoke seriously and earnestly, "For this assessment competition, we've deployed 20,000 tracking cameras throughout this five-star secret realm! We'll also be using the points bracelets for constant video surveillance! We can access the videos captured by your points bracelets anytime, anywhere."
"So! I hope you won't harbor any luck in this assessment!"
"If you violate the above rules, not only will all your points in this assessment be reset to zero, but you will also be severely punished!"
The black-faced examiner's sharp eagle eyes, like blades, swept over the numerous students present. His voice, like a frosted glass, finally said sternly: "After all! ... Only fools think they are smart, and everyone else is fools!"
The powerful aura carried endless pressure, and the words seemed to be filled with murderous intent, which immediately caused many candidates present to whisper.
Students from various countries talked in low voices, looking at candidates from other countries with vigilance and seriousness.
There were also quite a few students with relatively strong abilities, who looked at the other candidates as if they were scoring tools, with a slight smile on their lips and murderous intent in their eyes.
Song Yu didn't say anything, but subconsciously followed the people around him and looked at the candidates from other countries.
She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled the foul air in her lungs. She looked at the tall strange beasts around her and the other candidates who were full of murderous intent. She couldn't help but get nervous and take it seriously. Her hands at her sides clenched into fists involuntarily.
Feeling the hostile glances from all around...
And that scrutinizing gaze that fell directly on me.
"Gurgle..." Song Yu swallowed his saliva, and his eyelids twitched involuntarily.
presumably!
Now, all candidates not only regard the strange beasts in the secret realm as targets for hunting and fighting, but also candidates from other countries have been added as hunting targets.
In the next month or so, these candidates will probably have to team up with each other, be wary of each other, and fight each other!
Song Yu took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the tension and anxiety in his heart. The panic spread in his heart and all over his body.
Although the organizers repeatedly reminded candidates not to kill other candidates without reason during the examination, they did not prohibit candidates from fighting.
But since there is a battle, there will naturally be casualties.
Presumably, if the students died or were injured in the battle for the red, black, white balls, or for natural treasures, exotic beasts, etc., the organizers would not take it seriously. Otherwise, there would not be a mortality rate of about 20% in the annual secret league assessments in various countries.
"Don't be nervous...take the test well later."
Bai Yuhan stood beside Song Yu and saw that the girl's eyes were filled with suppressed panic and uneasiness. He could only sigh helplessly in his heart.
He took two steps forward, approaching Song Yu, and lowered his voice carefully, saying, "If it really doesn't work, you can choose a safe cave for the first seven days. After seven days, just click the "Request for Assistance" button and leave the secret realm. You have the protection of the Space Beast, so there won't be any problems."
"..." Song Yu pursed her lips and said nothing. She tilted her head slightly and looked at Bai Yuhan pitifully.
As someone who has lived in a peaceful environment for many years, she has indeed never encountered such a brutal combat test.
Bai Yuhan's cold eyes focused intently on the girl's misty, confused eyes. He slowly adjusted the wrist communication device and finally spoke in a deep voice, "Don't worry about the exam ranking. All the high school students have only been contracting with the beasts for half a year... Even if you can't make it into the top 200, the training camp instructor won't blame you."
Unlike him, the girl before him didn't enjoy fighting, much less searching for rare treasures or high-level exotic beast cubs. If it weren't for the incredibly rapid evolution of her contracted beasts, and the fact that the spots for this competition were directly determined by the training camp instructors, Bai Yuhan had no idea she wouldn't have chosen to participate in the assessment competition at such a five-star secret realm.
"But my contracted beasts seem to be eager to improve their strength... If I find a place to hide after entering the secret realm, wouldn't that be bad for them?" Song Yu looked up, feeling a little conflicted and undecided. This was the thing that had been bothering her most recently.
"Things like this...you can discuss it with them."
Bai Yuhan lowered his head, narrowed his eyes, and spoke in a cold voice without any fluctuation, but with an extremely serious tone: "This Six Nations Secret Realm Assessment Tournament is obviously much more dangerous than a normal professional Beastmaster of the same level entering the Wilderness Secret Realm."
"If your contracted beast wants to fight, you can prioritize the city training grounds after you return. The Beast Tamer Gyms in first-tier cities and super-first-tier capitals are more than enough to meet their level requirements. If all else fails, you can wait until college to participate in the campus circuit battle tournaments and challenge seniors from your school or other colleges."
"You have only contracted with them for half a year, there is no need to be so anxious," Bai Yuhan stood beside Song Yu and whispered with his warm breath blowing on the girl's head.
I could hear the boy's breathing overhead, and his gentle comfort and concern in my ears.
Song Yu blinked subconsciously, and her dark eyelashes curled slightly and trembled slightly.
She scratched the slightly itchy tip of her ear, feeling the rhythm of her hair being blown slightly by the wind. Her original panic and nervousness subsided a lot in an instant.
Even the various pressures previously brought about by the daily hard work of the circles and balls seemed to have dissipated for the most part at this moment.
"...Thank you." Song Yu raised his head and looked at Bai Yuhan with some gratitude.
The sunlight hit the girl's profile, gently casting shadows. Her black hair was tied into a high ponytail, and her wet eyes seemed to be stained with tiny starlight. The two looked at each other, and Bai Yuhan's eyes happened to meet the girl's clear and bright eyes.
Bai Yuhan's heart sank, and his hands tucked into his coat involuntarily clenched into fists.
The air seemed to stagnate at this moment.
Bai Yuhan took a deep breath, was silent for a moment, and finally said slowly: "You're welcome."
Bai Yuhan's voice was cold and steady: "Song Yu, protect yourself well in the examination room."
…
"This way! This way!"
"Here, one over here!"
With the order from the chief examiner in the air, the test began, and the students around ran towards the examiner closest to them one by one.
These examiners had already brought their space-type monsters with them, either squatting or standing, waiting on the side.
Song Yu stood at the entrance of the secret realm, waiting for the examiners to quickly jump through the space gate.
As the number of candidates at the entrance of the Red Soil Tundra Secret Realm gradually decreased, it was soon Song Yu's turn.
"Come on, come in with me!" Waiting next to Song Yu was a woman with brown hair and blue eyes, whose hair reached about the waist. The crow's feet at the corners of her eyes made her look about 50 years old, but her actual age should be over 60. She spoke Mandarin which was not very fluent but could be heard clearly, and took Song Yu to the entrance of the secret realm.
Traveling through space and flowing through secret realms.
Entering the Red Tundra Secret Realm directly from the secret realm's entrance, Song Yu saw patches of tundra, varying in shades of green. A dense carpet of moss formed a carpet. Unlike the tiny mosses on the Blue Star tundra, the mosses here were clustered in clumps as tall as an adult's calf. Rather than moss, they actually looked more like an endless grassland.
But moss is moss…
Even though the mosses in this secret realm have grown from tiny individuals to knee-high, they are still spore plants and reproduce asexually.
The whole area is covered with dense moss, and there is only the green color of moss, without any other colors of flowers.
I could feel a slightly damp scent at the tip of my nose. There was no sunshine in the sky above my head. Instead, it was gray and gloomy, as if it was about to rain.
However, the air in the entire secret realm is unusually clear and vibrant, a rare good environment in the vast city.
"Come on!" The brown-haired woman patted her fifth-level space-type white wolf. The snow-white space-type and frost-type wolf roared to the sky. A space gate large enough to accommodate three people suddenly opened!
at the same time--
Like Song Yu, other students and examiners who entered the secret realm at the same time also opened random space gates one by one. These space gates with huge energy fluctuations were like special scenes in special effects movies, grand yet shocking.
After these examiners opened the space gate, they brought the examinees from other countries into the space gate one by one!
Song Yu took a deep breath and followed the brown-haired woman into the door of this unknown space!
Without top-tier spatial abilities, ordinary space-based beasts can only travel back and forth within the secret realm, or between the wilderness and various cities. After all, each secret realm is an independent dimension, while the wilderness and various cities are on the same spatial plane. Only when a space-based contracted beast reaches a certain level of strength... reaching the eighth or ninth level, can it learn to jump from one independent dimension to another.
Song Yu looked at the back of the brown-haired woman's head as she walked into the pitch-black space gate. However, she soon passed through the space gate with the brown-haired woman and arrived at another place in the tundra secret realm...
——There was no sunshine either, only a foggy, gloomy sky, and waves of cold and damp air, as well as the unique smell of moss at the tip of the nose.
The towering ancient trees blocked out the sun, and only a few rays of light were cast down through the dark branches.
at the same time……
Song Yu discovered that this place was filled with countless strange mushrooms of various colors, densely packed!
The mushrooms that usually look extremely lovely in the wild forest are now like a bunch of secret sores here, dense and weird, and the bright red, gray, green, yellow, black... spotted, horned mushrooms are particularly creepy.
Some of these mushrooms are small, as big as a fingernail, while some are taller and bigger than the trees!
Through the little white lights that filtered through the gaps between the trees, Song Yu could even see the clusters of mushrooms spraying densely packed tiny spores! It made one's hair stand on end and covered in goose bumps.
"Alright, that's all. Good luck to the Chinese candidates."
The brown-haired woman narrowed her eyes, raised an eyebrow, and smiled at Song Yu. She casually pulled out a red and yellow armband from her space bag and tossed it to Song Yu. "This is your armband. You are not allowed to discard it during the assessment period... If it's lost, you can retrieve it from the bodies of other students from your country. Otherwise, without the armband, the points bracelet won't add any points."
The brown-haired woman chuckled and said teasingly, "Also, all students in this assessment are not allowed to carry armbands from other countries to mislead others... If anyone uses an armband from another country to infiltrate the team of candidates from another country, all of that student's points will be immediately allocated through the system to the country that owns the armband."
After saying this, the brown-haired woman didn't wait for Song Yu to digest it, and turned around and left with the giant white wolf.
“Whoosh!——”
The door of space suddenly closed with the other party's footsteps. Song Yu came back to his senses and looked down at the red and yellow armband in his hand.
This is the color of the Chinese national flag. Although the national flag is not embroidered on the armband, this color allows candidates to easily distinguish between friends and enemies during the assessment.
"It seems that for this Six Nations Secret Realm Assessment Tournament, the organizers hope that all students will confront each other directly and look at the problem from the perspective of a beastmaster... rather than using other unconventional methods." Song Yu muttered softly, but after thinking carefully for a moment, he also understood the necessity of this.
after all……
What if a student, armed with poison, donned the armband of another country's candidate, infiltrated another country's team, drugged their food, and gained points from the other candidates? Then, was this Six Nations Secret Realm Assessment a Beastmaster Assessment or a Spy Agent Assessment? Wouldn't this assessment be putting the cart before the horse?
After all... as long as you defeat the candidates from other countries, you can get half of that candidate's points.
Beastmasters all have ordinary human bodies. Except for the two special families, the Jin family and the Yan family, ordinary people can be knocked down by just a little sleeping pill.
"...Hmm~" Song Yu looked up and surveyed her surroundings. The quiet mushroom forest was filled only by the occasional chirping of insects and the faint roar of distant beasts. Song Yu looked at the strange, densely packed mushrooms beside her and subconsciously rubbed her arms, carefully avoiding any that were spewing spores. She didn't dare move at all and summoned circles from space.
Although she didn't know whether these mushrooms were poisonous or not, she didn't have a healing contract beast, so it was better for her to stay away from such a weird place.
As the space door suddenly opened, Song Yu instantly left this place full of mushrooms, moss and ancient trees!
However, less than five minutes after Song Yu left...
“Crash!——”
Another space door suddenly appeared!
A strong fluctuation of spatial energy appeared less than two hundred meters away from where Song Yu left. A young man with platinum hair, a crew cut and muscular body, wearing his own red and blue armband, stepped out of the space door.
at the same time…
An examiner with slightly graying hair and a purple armband leaned halfway out of the spatial portal and said to the crew-haired boy, "Did you understand the rules I explained just now inside the spatial portal? The different colored armbands represent your respective countries. Candidates are not allowed to casually wear armbands from other countries in this assessment competition... If you choose to voluntarily wear an armband from another country, your score bracelet will directly reset your assessment score to zero!"
"Got it, examiner... I will return from the secret realm with points and glory in 720 hours!" The young man's eyebrows were stern and confident. He raised the corners of his mouth and rubbed his short, coarse hair that was like steel needles. His smile was unrestrained and ostentatious.
The examiner with the purple armband nodded, put his hands behind his back, and left the place with his space-type beast - a little monkey whose whole body was fiery red but interspersed with silver-gray space-type regular patterns.
The blond, crew-cut youth raised his eyelids and surveyed his surroundings. Using the faint white light streaming through the trees overhead, he carefully observed each mushroom. The densely packed, bizarre mushrooms caught his eye, causing him to frown subconsciously.
"Devil's poisonous mushroom, parasitic spore mushroom, green-capped devil's needle mushroom..."
"Why are there so many different kinds of poisonous mushrooms in this damn place?"
"What kind of a name is this place called the Red Soil Tundra Secret Realm? Why not just change the name to the Mysterious Poisonous Mushroom Secret Realm?"
When he was talking to the examiner before, the young man with a crew cut didn't pay attention, but now when he looked up, he was subconsciously frightened. His originally nonchalant expression became not only serious, but also extremely solemn.
The blond young man with a crew cut had his brows furrowed, and his blue eyes were fixed on the mushrooms around him.
He licked his upper jaw, looked at the numerous poisonous mushrooms around him, and grumbled softly: "Tsk! I don't know if I'm the most unlucky one in this Six Kingdoms Secret Realm assessment. I was actually teleported to this damn place as soon as I appeared!"
"Fortunately, I have made preparations in advance!" The young man with blond hair and a crew cut raised his hand and summoned a second-level Void Rabbit that was in the Beast Taming Space.
The silver-gray mouse was the size of a palm, with two pink, tender little ears standing up. It looked very sweet and adorable. However, it was obvious that this Void Rabbit was very timid. As soon as it emerged from the Beast Taming Space, it immediately pressed its body tightly against the palm of the crew-haired young man.
"Come on! Get me a gas mask! And a set of rubber gloves."
Unable to contract a mid-level contracted beast capable of using the Space Gate, the blond, crew-haired youth had previously settled for the most common, low-level Void Rabbit at school. A second-level Void Rabbit possessed a vast 1,000-square-meter space. The crew-haired youth had already prepared various tools to handle the various harsh environments of the wilderness and secret realms.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak~~”
The Void Rabbit squeaked and waved its two small front paws forward. A large gas mask that was just right for the young man with a crew cut suddenly appeared, along with a pair of white plastic gloves that reached as far as his elbows.
The young man with a crew cut casually put on his gas mask, put on his gloves neatly, and put the hat on the back of his sportswear onto his head. He zipped up the hat and neck, took back the Void Pika, and summoned a sixth-level flying monster.
This flying beast is relatively small in size. You can tell at first glance that it is a swallow-like beast that has shrunk in size in advance. Its black and white feathers make it look inconspicuous, even a little gray and not very pretty. However, its smooth body lines and a pair of powerful wings flapping at high speed all indicate that this flying beast is powerful and good at flying.
"Let's go!" The blond, crew-haired young man raised his lips slightly and leaped up, as if he had experienced this jump and grab a thousand times before. He firmly grasped the claws of the sixth-level flying beast.
"Yo!——" The flying beast let out a long cry, and its two sharp claws tightly grasped the hands of the young man with a crew cut.
It directly took the crew-haired young man up in a sky-high posture! It aimed directly at the narrow gap between the dense ancient trees above his head!
“Hoohoo!—”
“Clatter!—”
The roaring sound of the strange beast spreading its wings and flying brought up gusts of wind, and the other leaves rustled in the wind, and it only lasted for two short breaths.
This flying beast, covered in black and white feathers, rushed out of the mushroom forest and the dense ancient trees, carrying the young man with a crew cut. Like a small helicopter, it flew high into the sky with the young man with a crew cut.
Chilly air, tinged with gusts of dampness, swirled in the wind. A young man with a crew cut, wearing a gas mask, looked down at the endless green jungle below, and the giant mushroom forest faintly hidden within it.
A large number of parasitic spores and poisonous mushrooms are spewing out indiscriminately.
The blond young man with a crew cut had sharp eyes. He even saw a lot of densely packed and disgusting poisonous mushrooms growing wildly on the ancient tree.
"Tsk! Fortunately, I have a flying monster! If someone has neither a space monster nor a flying monster, he would probably die in a place like this without knowing how he died!" The blond young man with a crew cut complained in a low voice.
This poisonous mushroom forest is incredibly vast. While exotic beasts have a certain resistance to poison, and the higher their level, the stronger their resistance is. However, no matter how strong this resistance is, there's a limit...
"This poisonous mushroom forest is so large that even a seventh-level monster would suffer a great loss if it runs in it! You never know when it might be parasitized by the parasitic spores of these poisonous mushrooms and turned into nutrients for the mushrooms." The blond young man with a crew cut raised his eyebrows, reached out and patted the strong claws of his contracted beast, signaling the other party to change the way of grabbing.
As the saying goes, the more skilled you are, the bolder you are!
After the contracted beast received the signal from its contractor, it immediately let out a long cry!
“Crash—”
The flying beast waved its claws and threw the blond young man with a crew cut into the air. Then its body grew larger and instantly turned into a black and white lightning. It caught the blond young man with a crew cut who was falling from the sky with its back!
The man was thrown into the air and caught again. The gas mask on the face of the blond and crew cut young man was blown away by the strong wind and fell into the mushroom forest below.
The blond, crew-haired young man patted his contracted beast with a grin. "Very good! If it weren't for you this time, I might have been in real trouble! Although gas masks and gloves and clothing can protect against some parasitic spores and poisonous gases for a short period of time, they definitely can't last long."
"Let's go! Let's fly towards the headwind!" The blond young man looked at the poisonous mushroom forest below and raised his hand to command his flying contracted beast.
He felt sick just looking at these mushrooms and decided to leave this damn place as soon as possible!
However, at this moment!
Something strange happened suddenly!
Suddenly, a small black umbrella-shaped mushroom with red spots grew out from the originally clean black sportswear trouser leg.
At first, the mushroom was only a tiny thing, as big as the little fingernail, and it didn't even open its umbrella. It curled up like a ball of dead grass. But as time went by, the tiny mushroom expanded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"Hmm...?" The blond young man was just patting the back fur of his contracted beast and chattering, when he suddenly found that his right calf, which was casually placed aside, had become numb. At first he didn't feel much, until two or three minutes later, he subconsciously lowered his head to look at his right leg.
but……
At this time, the black and red mushroom on the right leg has grown to the size of an apple, and it looks like it is about to open!
"Damn it!" The blond young man with a crew cut cursed subconsciously when he saw the black and red parasitic mushroom. Then he quickly took out the dagger on his waist, cut open the thick sportswear trouser leg, and cut off the umbrella-shaped part of the parasitic mushroom.
The previously normal calf was now covered in clusters of white mycelium, which enveloped the upper half of the calf. The mycelium, whose upper half had been cut off, seemed to have momentarily lost its ability to move and stopped expanding. However, the disgusting, sticky mycelium still enveloped the calf, as if trying to absorb nutrients from the young man and grow a new parasitic mushroom from the adjacent mycelium.
"Fuck!" The blond young man with a crew cut cursed in a low voice, gritted his teeth, raised his knife and directly dug out the flesh around the calf that was infested with mycelium!
"hiss--!"
The strong smell of blood and the spurting blood made the young man with a crew cut gasp for air and grimace in pain.
Even though this parasitic mushroom releases a paralyzing venom into its host, the pain of skinning and flesh digging still made the blond, crew-haired youth pale! To prevent excessive bleeding, he immediately summoned his space-based contracted beast and quickly pulled out various healing remedies from its dimensional space.
Although he lacked a healing contracted beast capable of instantly healing him, the shaved-headed young man was extremely well-prepared, including a variety of expensive medicines, hemostatic sprays, and surgical tools. He quickly sprayed anesthetic on his injured calf and bandaged it to stop the bleeding, his movements extremely smooth and swift. After the young man had finished treating the wound on his leg, he looked down with trepidation at the terrifying poisonous mushroom forest below, which had still not yet reached its edge!
"Fuck! Such a vast poisonous mushroom forest! I wonder how many exotic beasts have died here." The blond, crew-haired young man frowned. He looked down at the forest below, his lips pale. "This time, I was seriously injured the moment I entered the secret realm... This Red Earth Tundra Secret Realm is indeed a five-star secret realm! It's only slightly worse than the highest level six-star secret realm."
"So many poisonous mushrooms, and they're so aggressive... It's very likely that these poisonous mushrooms are actually controlled by a group of plant-based mushroom-like monsters..."
"And these released poisonous gases and parasitic spores should be the skills they usually release..."
Unlike ordinary monsters, plant-type monsters want to reproduce just like other ordinary plants.
Either it is hermaphroditic, or it is a plant that splits directly from another plant.
Or it will bloom and bear fruit, producing plant-like exotic animal cubs.
As for mushroom-like beasts... to reproduce, they naturally need to spit out spores, just like ordinary mushrooms. But beasts are still beasts after all. Unlike ordinary mushrooms, mushroom-like beasts can spit out many spores at a time, but the spores that can truly become mushroom beasts probably only spit out twice a year, and the number each time is not large. However, these mushroom beasts can use these spores to absorb nutrients and energy to grow.
"There's probably a powerful mycelium network beneath the mushrooms in this mushroom forest..."
"Mycelium can absorb various nutrients and energy. At the same time, it can also transfer nutrients and energy to the main body of this mushroom monster through this powerful mycelium network." The plant-like monster dug its roots into the ground, and it was like the soft dodder suddenly had support, and it suddenly became stronger and more powerful.
At the same time, there were many other candidates in the same predicament as the young man with blond hair and a crew cut.
They encountered various poisonous plants or other powerful beasts. Of course, some lucky candidates, upon exiting the dimensional portal, spotted the red, black, and white balls hidden in various locations, and happily stowed them away in their backpacks or the dimensional space of the dimensional beasts. The balls were small, each about the size of a tennis ball, easily held in the palm of one's hand.
As contestants selected by various countries to participate in the Six Nations Secret Realm Assessment Tournament, they were almost all prepared before coming. At the very least, they had a first-level low-level space-type monster that could help prepare various materials. Among the 600 candidates, it was likely that only a few of them would encounter accidents.
…
As a Void Rabbit, Quanquan came to this tundra secret realm for the first time, so naturally he had no idea what the place was like.
Even though Quanquan was now at the sixth level and could perform simple positioning, without a map, he still had to lead Master Kang to perform three consecutive space jumps before finding a mountaintop that looked extremely spacious and bright.
Song Yu stepped out of the space door, stood on the top of the mountain, and looked down.
Below the towering mountain top, there are patches of white clouds, and bright light shines through the clouds, like a dream!
It looked cold and gloomy at the entrance to the secret realm, and there seemed to be signs of rain. However, standing on the top of this mountain, one could see all the other mountains as small, and comprehend the feeling of the ethereal fairy palace. Not only was there not a single dark cloud, but the clouds were even exceptionally white.
only……
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!!!" Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, look at your shoulder! !
“Squeak! Squeak!” Parasitic mushroom! It’s a parasitic mushroom!!
Quanquan was standing on Song Yu's shoulder, suddenly jumping around excitedly, pointing her little paws at a black and red mushroom on Song Yu's shoulder. The mushroom was not very big, but not small either, and was as big as half the girl's fist.
They left so quickly just now, why is there still a parasitic mushroom on Xiao Yu?
The long-eared little mouse couldn't figure it out, but jumped and screamed excitedly. This excited scream caught Song Yu's attention, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at his shoulder.
Song Yu was shocked:!!!
Song Yu's eyes widened. "No way, so unlucky?! I was so careful, but I still got parasitized by this thing?"
As if sensing Song Yu's strong emotional fluctuations, the three little creatures, Qiuqiu and Tengteng, who had just been quietly staying in the beast-controlling space, suddenly appeared with serious faces, as if facing a great enemy!
