For all the candidates participating in the Six Nations Secret Realm Assessment Tournament, the Five-Star Red Soil Tundra Secret Realm was an unfamiliar and fraught place. Finding a suitable place to stay before sunset within just three or four hours was no easy task.
Even though Song Yu had the help of the little ones like Quanquan and Qiuqiu, it still took her a long time to find a more secluded place to live.
If only on a safer Earth.
When camping outdoors, you should naturally try to choose cliffs or slopes where there will be no sudden incidents such as landslides and mudslides.
At the same time, people camping outdoors will deliberately avoid mountain tops or under large trees to prevent being struck by lightning.
In order to make camping more convenient and quick, most people will even choose to camp in a place close to clean water sources!
For example...the relatively flat and wide lawns on both sides of the river bank.
Or perhaps near the small rocky area beside the stream...
In a secret realm, which is a relatively dangerous place, there are high-level wild beasts coming in and out at any time and anywhere.
Except for replenishing water resources or hunting some exotic beasts, most of these beast masters choose to avoid water sources.
Because even flying monsters must replenish a large amount of fresh water resources every day.
If you accidentally encounter multiple strange beasts near a water source, it is easy to be besieged by other strange beasts.
in addition……
In order to avoid being discovered by flying monsters, places with less cover from trees and rocks, such as mountain tops... are not suitable for building safe shelters.
On the contrary, caves in the mountains and forests that are farther away from water sources are more suitable.
only…
This kind of cave is indeed hard to find. Song Yu and Qiuqiu searched for a long time but still couldn't find a suitable cave.
Finally, Song Yu and Qiuqiu watched the sky gradually darken. If they couldn't find a place to stay, they might have a miserable night...
Song Yu finally came up with a solution!
Speaking of which, this is thanks to the blond young man from Country L. The other party's pangolin beast gave her inspiration.
then……
In a place with lush grass and extremely dense bushes!
Song Yu asked the four little ones, Qiuqiu, Quanquan, to help her dig a hole!
The four little ones dug out the dry yellow hard soil from the ground bit by bit. Some of the dry, yellow hard soil even contained a few ice crystals.
This is because of the extreme weather conditions in the tundra environment, where even the surface soil is frozen by ice and snow.
Fortunately, Qiuqiu and Tengteng are very strong. As seventh-level monsters, they don’t care about such a small amount of ice at all. As the main force of this excavation team, one digs and the other drills. It took about half an hour to help Song Yu dig a cave of about 30 square meters with stairs for going up and down 10 meters underground!
To maintain the secrecy of the cave's perimeter and minimize the damage to the dense undergrowth, Quanquan had also designated a small area within a dimensional space bag to store the excavated soil. As for the bushes and moss areas previously destroyed by Qiuqiu and Tengteng, they were now lushly regrown thanks to the wood energy released by Tengteng.
If Song Yu had not taken the initiative to remind him, the plants at the entrance of this cave might even be more lush than the other plants around it.
But in this way...
Song Yu had to be extra careful when entering and exiting the cave to avoid stepping on the fresh plants that had grown back.
then……
After an hour and a half, Song Yu finally found a safe and secluded rest area before the forest plunged into complete darkness.
Thinking that this secret area would most likely be her residence for the next month, Song Yu was busy all night. She first made a small wooden door for her underground cave, and then took out the various foam pads that had been placed in the circle dimension empty bag.
Square foam mats of various colors are placed on the puzzle floor of the children's playground to prevent children from falling.
Song Yu pieced these foam pads together one by one, which took him nearly 20 minutes. He covered most of the cave space with them. Song Yu then wiped the sweat from his forehead and slowly stopped.
"Meow~?" Xiao Yu, is it necessary to be so troublesome?
After shrinking in size, Qiuqiu now looks like an ordinary Earth rural lion cat, weighing seven or eight kilograms, small and cute.
The fluffy snow-white fur, coupled with a pair of light golden, slightly cute round cat eyes, does not look like a powerful seventh-level monster at all. Instead, it looks soft and particularly easy to suck.
It trembled its beard slightly, not quite understanding Song Yu's actions.
Qiuqiu: Yeah! I'm like a lazy fish on weekdays, always wanting to slack off during training... Why do you insist on doing something like putting together foam mats?
The cat tilted its head, the cat didn't understand.
"Tsk! You don't understand this!"
Song Yu looked at the cave he had assembled, which had an obvious comfort level of +10, and sat down on the foam cushion he had just assembled. He took a few sips of mineral water and said, "It's so hard to find a place to stay in the secret realm. I guess for the next month, we will most likely live in this kind of earthen cave that we dug ourselves..."
"In that case, we naturally have to make our living quarters for the next month more comfortable." Song Yu shook his head and said something he had heard from the Internet in his previous life: "As the saying goes, a house can be dug, but life is our own!"
Song Yu looked down at Qiuqiu, who had shrunk and was standing beside him, and asked, "Do you like sleeping on this frozen loess?"
Song Yu stepped on the frozen yellow soil on the ground.
As a tundra terrain, one of its major characteristics is its poor soil.
The deeper you go underground, the harder the soil becomes.
Even though the winter snow melts in spring and the plants in the entire secret realm seem to be full of vitality, it still cannot cover up the fact that the lower layer of soil in this area is frozen.
If the four little Qiuqiu were not exotic beasts, their physiques would be much stronger than those of ordinary animals.
Maybe, as a little white cat, Qiuqiu should be wagging his tail and shaking his legs wildly at this moment.
After all - frozen feet!
Looking down at the dirty frozen soil under his feet, Qiuqiu raised his little paws with some disgust.
Song Yu raised his hand and took out a wet tissue, helped the little Qiuqiu Tengteng to wipe clean, and then took out today's dinner from the circle's dimensional space bag again.
Unlike the mouth-watering barbecue during the day, Song Yu's meals at night were exceptionally simple, especially with only a battery-powered light. Song Yu didn't dare use an open flame in the cave, so she resorted to using the simplest of small appliances to heat the food. The already cooked takeout had been reprocessed, so while it might not have tasted as fresh as it did when it was fresh from the oven, it was still quite nice to be able to enjoy takeout in a place like the Tundra Secret Realm.
The little white cat lay on the foam mat in a farmer's posture.
Feel the soft touch of the foam pad, and the clean foam pad, which gives you a refreshing feeling that the white hair will not turn yellow even if you lie on it.
Qiuqiu compared it again and saw the passive, hard layer of soil next to it, which looked a little bumpy.
"Meow~" You're right~
Qiuqiu nodded. Although they had come to the Five-Star Secret Realm for the Six-Nation Assessment Tournament, there was no reason to give up on the opportunity to improve their living conditions. The dodder vine rolled over on the foam mat, curling up into a small ball... and for a moment, it looked a bit like a brown sea urchin.
After the four little ones finished their dinner...
Take out the hot pack and put away a thick sleeping bag.
As Song Yu crawled into his sleeping bag, he took out his mobile phone, which he hadn't touched for a long time due to physical combat, and quickly opened the familiar game interface!
no way……
In this kind of forest, 10 meters below the ground, in a small and quiet cave space.
Song Yu's long-standing internet addiction resurfaces!
Song Yu (rubbing his hands together with excitement): Although my phone can’t connect to the internet right now, I can play online games in a duo with Teng Teng!
At the same time, Qiuqiu felt that there was indeed no major danger around him, and his cat face showed a calm expression as if he had long been accustomed to it.
The cat narrowed its eyes slightly, pretending to rest... It had to think carefully about what happened during the day with the Sky-Swallowing Poison Dragon Python and the red scoring ball.
As the saying goes, people's joys and sorrows are not shared.
then.
The first night in this five-star secret place.
Some candidates are currently being hunted down by a large number of ninth- and eighth-level beastmasters, while some are being hunted down by mysterious beasts that suddenly appeared at night... Other candidates finished their dinner early, put on a heat pad, and happily nestled in their warm sleeping bags, playing games with their contracted beasts while eating melon seeds and chatting in low voices!
Ever since Qiuqiu and the other four kids worked so hard to level her up, she felt ashamed of being just a useless person.
Song Yu felt that the pressure in his life suddenly dropped, and he returned to his original lazy state.
As long as I can get through this month!
I guess even if she didn't go to kill the monsters and look for the mission ball, Teacher Qin wouldn't bother her again, right?
As far as she knew... as long as the points reached 5,000, one could usually get into the top 100 of the points ranking in the six-nation assessment competition in the five-star secret realm.
As a fifth-rank beastmaster, it would be amazing for her to be able to make it into the top 100 of the overall points ranking!
Therefore.
After figuring out the ranking issue of the entire Six Nations Secret Realm Assessment Competition.
Song Yu no longer had any enthusiasm for the secret realm assessment competition, and he felt even more relaxed.
She didn't want to be a top beastmaster, nor did she need any rare treasures, and she didn't want to gain points by slaughtering other exotic beasts in the secret realm.
She had neither hatred nor conflict with the strange beasts in the secret realm... She felt guilty for inexplicably slaughtering those strange beasts that had the same intelligence as humans!
Of course, there is one more thing...
Killing strange beasts to earn points is so tiring!
She was a useless person, so instead of begging for help, she asked Qiuqiu and the others to help her hunt the strange beasts.
It would be better to stay in the cave quietly and low-key!
From the ground to the cave, it is ten meters deep.
In such a place, only the burrowing beasts might discover the traces of her and the other four little ones.
Most of the strange beasts would never be able to find her trace unless they searched the carpet carefully.
Eating strong-smelling food can make Quanquan open the door to space and take her outside.
If you want to eat the simplest milk bread, you can put it directly into the hole.
Apart from the fact that washing and hygiene were a little troublesome, Song Yu felt that this cave was simply perfect!
Song Yu was delighted: "This underground cave is tailor-made for a lazy person like me!"
then……
Last night, after Song Yu and Teng Teng finished playing games online together, they manually closed the last gap in their sleeping bags, happily turned off the lights and closed their eyes to rest.
…
And at this moment.
The other side.
In the northwest of the Tundra Secret Realm, there is a valley cave relatively close to the Mushroom Secret Realm.
Bai Yuhan leaned against the wall and was just about to take a rest when he suddenly heard an unusual sound.
It was pitch black outside the cave and there was no campfire inside.
Logically speaking, with the vision of ordinary people, it is impossible to see clearly what is outside the pitch-black deep cave in such a dark environment.
However……
Bai Yuhan is not an ordinary person!
He calmly grabbed the long knife beside him, lifted up the thick down jacket covering his body, and stood up silently but with extraordinary calmness.
The young man stared coldly outside the cave...
All I saw was the originally pitch-black cave outside.
Suddenly, white characters lit up!
Bai Yuhan instantly saw the message of the visitor!

----【Name:……
The names and information of these lurkers in the darkness are like the brightest stars in the night. The white data and information move with the movements of the lurkers!
Bai Yuhan frowned slightly, his sharp eyes calmly looking at the number of people reminded by the Eye of Rules...
The vast majority of these people are from the Jin family and the Yan family.
Bai Yuhan remained calm, but licked his lips slightly. He had thought that even if he had killed the Jin family's twin brothers and Yan Jiao and the other two with his own hands, it would take at least a week for the two families to receive the news.
"But I didn't expect... they'd find me so quickly." Bai Yuhan thought to himself, thinking back to his earlier battle with the twins. He wondered if he'd missed any crucial information... After pondering for a long time, Bai Yuhan couldn't figure out where he'd given himself away.
It was not until Bai Yuhan found Shi Yuniao's message among a large pile of personnel messages that he finally realized it.
————[Name: Feiyu]
[Race: Rainbird]
[Attribute: Water]
[Combat Power: 218.31 million]

[Current Level: Level 8]
Description: This beast is a rare creature, possessing the unique 'Time Rewind' skill. Time Rewind: This skill allows the creature to rewind a portion of its previous life (e.g., what happened before a corpse died).
"Presumably, this strange beast must have used its time-rewinding skill to find the flaw in the corpse!" Bai Yuhan licked his palate, and a young boy laughed, with a hint of madness hidden in his deep eyes.
Bai Yuhan licked the back of his teeth and thought to himself, "It seems... my information collection this time wasn't accurate enough. I didn't know in advance that the Yan and Jin families had such a method to find out that I was the murderer..." However, he also had a backup plan...
It seems that I have to trouble Qicai again.
Bai Yuhan lowered his eyes slightly, not being attached to his current appearance.
The boy pondered for a moment!
When Bai Yuhan opened his eyelids again, holding a long knife, his eyes were as bright as lightning.
Bai Yuhan raised his right hand slightly, and a huge dragon suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave!
"roar!--"
The silver-white void dragon roared, instantly stirring up flocks of birds in the air.
Bai Yuhan took a deep breath and suddenly jumped onto the back of the Void Dragon...
"Bai Yuhan! It's that brat Bai Yuhan! That brat actually wanted to escape?!... It must be him, it must be him who killed my daughter!"
Upon seeing the Void Dragon, whose entire body was covered in silver and whose outline could still be seen even in the darkness, Yan Jiao's mother roared in anger, "If he hadn't killed my daughter, how could he have suddenly escaped?!"
The long roar of the Void Dragon was like a drop of water suddenly falling into a hot oil pan!
This space instantly erupted with the might of high-level exotic beasts.
All the people from the Yan and Jin families released their main battle pets at the same time!
Bai Yuhan's eyes were cold, and his hands and feet were tightly lying on the back of the Void Dragon.
The Void Dragon opened the door of space and plunged into it.
A white kitten was lying on the treetop, the tip of its tail trembling, and the word "comfortable" was almost written on its face.
