Soon, a large area of black and green camouflage buildings appeared in the suburbs of Mengyuan City. They were all low-rise, high-strength concrete buildings, stretching for several kilometers.
Looking at this scene, Qin Xiao felt a greater sense of caution regarding the status of the Diamond-level Secret Realm.
With such a level of defense and protective measures, Hua Wuguo is not short of money to burn.
I really don't know how helpless those small countries must feel in the face of such a hidden place. Should they give up and leave it to fate, or fight back tenaciously?
When Qin Xiao arrived in this world, he even looked around online and found it rather strange that those tiny, godforsaken countries could still exist in this world.
However, there are also many countries where people have been wiped out, perhaps due to the survival of the survivors?
Stepping into this dark-colored building, a somewhat oppressive and serious atmosphere permeates the air.
Qin Xiao's first impression was that there was almost no commercialization. Most of the people he saw were soldiers from the Dimensional Army and the Torch Army on duty and patrol, and a very small number of people from the general public.
After going through three layers of review and filling out several forms, Qin Xiao and Ye Qingya finally arrived at the portal in the lobby.
Even as the mayor of Qingzhou City, Ye Qingya showed no impatience in the face of such a complicated review process.
Qin Xiao looked at the diamond-tiered portal in front of him. The slightly transparent frame reflected a dreamy array of colors, and the light radiated and changed slightly as the secret realm rotated.
What a nice view.
"Xiao Qin, are you ready?"
Ye Qingya said somewhat shyly.
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao withdrew his gaze from the teleportation portal.
He knew what the other person was asking, and his expression was somewhat amused and exasperated.
Once they arrived in the lobby, the staff provided them with the latest detailed information.
Currently, the secret realm portal on the other side is located in Swan City, which is the royal city of the Beast Spirit World. Moreover, Huawu Kingdom has reached some basic mutual assistance agreements with the Swan Clan, the royal family of the Beast Spirit World.
After all, it's almost impossible to hide a portal to a diamond-tier secret realm, especially since the portal is located in the imperial city, and the Huawu Kingdom has to set up defensive measures there.
Currently, it seems that communication with the Swan tribe is still possible, but there are some requirements that must be followed.
For example, given the other party's society and ideology, all those who enter Huawu Kingdom must be in a half-orc form.
For example, male orcs must abide by specific servant regulations in the royal city and settlements.
For example, it is forbidden to slaughter the people ruled by the Swan Clan in urban settlements.
Qin Xiao touched his nose, feeling somewhat embarrassed, and silently activated the symbiotic skill of the Jianmu tree.
His body gradually turned woody, and some leaves and saplings grew on it.
Finally, he lagged half a step behind Ye Qingya and jokingly made a gesture of invitation.
Ye Qingya's face flushed red as she silently summoned the Crimson Lotus Fire Fox and activated the Beast Tamer's innate skill of Spirit Symbiosis.
Fiery red fox ears, a long golden-red fox tail, even more slender and alluring eyes, and an even more perfect body proportion.
The two entered the portal one after the other.
In the Beast Spirit Realm.
In a simple hall, the portal rippled, and a staff member with a notebook came forward to wait. Qin Xiao and Ye Qingya appeared.
This area is much more spacious, with only a dozen or so staff members operating the equipment. However, these dozen or so people are all in half-orc form, and it's unclear how they manage to do it.
After registering, the two checked the secret realm rules and information again before setting off.
At that moment, a hearty laugh rang out.
"Haha, Qingya?"
Qin Xiao looked over curiously, and a tiger-headed man who was three meters tall walked over. Ye Qingya nodded respectfully.
"General Hu, it's been a long time."
The tiger-headed man scratched his head. "Haha, long time no see, long time no see. It's been ten years since you left the Heavenly Flame Fire Domain, hasn't it?"
Ye Qingya thought for a moment, "That's about right, it's been more than nine years. General Hu, have you been transferred here yet?"
General Hu said somewhat displeased.
"Hey, what can I do? I have the beast transformation skill. This bird-themed secret realm is perfect for that. I'm practically going to get moldy staying here. Judging from your appearance, you're about to enter the secret realm. Is this your husband?"
Because Qin Xiao is a tree-human, his exact age is unknown. However, even if it were possible to tell, there wouldn't be much difference between him and Ye Qingya on the surface, since the mayor's face is excessively youthful.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingya blushed deeply. "General, what are you saying? This is...this is my friend."
General Hu was taken aback, then gave a knowing look. Who would bring a male friend into such a secret place? What friend would be willing to do that?
The low status of men in this secret realm is no joke; at least within the imperial court, they still have to follow the rules.
"Haha, I understand, I understand. Be careful, this secret realm has not been fully explored yet, and according to the Swan Clan's intelligence, this secret realm has been invaded by a cult."
General Hu said a few words, and the three parted ways.
Qin Xiao followed Ye Qingya toward the gate, asking curiously as he did so.
"Mayor, who is this person?"
Ye Qingya replied somewhat absentmindedly, "His name is Hu Lai, he's a Diamond-rank general in the Dimensional Army, and this Diamond-rank secret realm should be under his command."
Qin Xiao seemed to be deep in thought, so, roughly equivalent to the garrison commander of the Beast Taming Hall?
That's true. With so few people here and no skilled personnel stationed here, things could easily go wrong.
As they spoke, the two exited through the gate of the fortifications.
The fortifications were disguised as a residential house, and as soon as you stepped outside, you were greeted by an otherworldly atmosphere.
A variety of haphazard buildings came into view, with square, round, and strangely shaped structures blending together in a bizarre yet harmonious way.
There were quite a few pedestrians on the street.
Qin Xiao and his companion pushed open the door and stepped out, attracting the attention of pedestrians on the stone-paved street.
Good heavens! Qin Xiao was shocked; demons and monsters were dancing wildly.
Pig-headed man, horse-headed man, minotaur...
There were even a bunch of indistinguishable orcs, all of them with human bodies and animal heads, their fur, horns, hooves, and claws still intact.
However, they all have one thing in common: they all have amazing figures, and each of them has large breasts.
Because all the people walking on the street are female.
There were males too, lying on the ground like his mother's pet.
Only a few of them were standing; they were male orcs with relatively few bestial features.
Qin Xiao swallowed hard and looked at Ye Qingya.
Ye Qingya blushed and dared not meet Qin Xiao's gaze.
"Ahem, Xiao Qin, it is said that people in this secret realm who are purely humanoid will be attacked and captured, but the closer a half-orc is to being purely humanoid, the higher their status."
Damn it!
Mayor, your conscience is utterly wicked!
I thought it would be a thrilling and exciting otherworldly adventure, but it turns out to be forced pet-playing, huh?!
Look at me, dressed like a tree-man, I don't look human at all, I'm just a lowly beast of burden in the lowest rung of society!
