Chapter 464 Inside the Secret Realm 8
Xuan Bing unleashed the Xuanhuang Spear without hesitation, each strike capable of sending a sixth-tier rare beast flying—not all rare beasts could be killed by his blows, some were broken in two but still able to move, some had broken bones, some had limbs dislocated... and some were even completely unharmed.
However, his bold and unrestrained style, combined with Wu Dongxiao's excellent teamwork, created a very harmonious synergy.
Although the two brothers are now a whole realm apart and their combat power has also changed, Wu Dongxiao is, after all, the protagonist of the original book. He is the type who gets stronger the more he fights. Whenever there is a life-or-death battle, the more dangerous the situation, the stronger his strength will be.
So, the two of them actually managed to survive in such an encirclement and fight against numerous rare beasts.
During this time, they were temporarily protected by defensive equipment and were not injured, while many of the orcs were killed...
But so what?
The true seventh-tier beings are about to enter the fray.
Wu Xuan and his companion had made preparations in advance, each carrying a level-seven puppet, which they released at this moment.
There were four puppets in total, which quickly blocked the seventh-tier beastman disciples under the instructions of the two brothers.
However, there are far more than just four seventh-tier rare beasts here.
Even when the four puppets worked together to block more rare beasts, it was still insufficient.
As for the two brothers... they have no way to deal with a level seven beastman.
The two of them did their best to deal with those "minor soldiers and generals".
The seventh-tier beastmen showed no fear.
While the puppets were indeed quite capable of resisting, they still had to spare some attention for their two vulnerable masters, protecting them from time to time. Furthermore, the seventh-tier beastmen were very quick to react, so the puppets were unable to kill any of the beastmen, as they were all evaded – they were only able to barely protect Wu Xuan and his companion.
However, the other fifth and sixth-tier beastmen, who were of lower rank, gradually calmed down due to the significant casualties they had suffered.
The seventh-tier beastmen's charge was even stronger.
The pressure felt by Wu Dongxiao and Xuan Bing was increasing every moment!
Sudden!
A giant lizard at the peak of the seventh rank slithered over from the side, opened its blood-red maw, and swiftly lunged at Wu Dongxiao!
Xuan Bing swiftly threw out the Xuanhuang Spear, which directly blocked the giant lizard's gaping maw.
However, the angle was wrong. At this critical moment, it was already quite difficult for Xuan Bing to throw the gun in time. In fact, it was not very accurate, so the monitor lizard was only blocked and was not injured.
Wu Dongxiao seized the opportunity, rolled on the spot, and quickly escaped to the rear.
After spitting out the Xuanhuang Spear, the giant lizard chased after it and bit it several times, but Wu Dongxiao narrowly dodged each bite.
Xuan Bing waved his hand, and the Xuanhuang Spear returned to his hand.
Just as the monitor lizard was about to bite Wu Dongxiao again, Xuan Bing threw the spear once more—
The Xuanhuang Spear managed to block it.
It was quite a coincidence.
Indeed, Wu Dongxiao always managed to escape with Xuan Bing's timely assistance.
It's just that... each time it's only by a hair's breadth, which is extremely dangerous.
However, the monitor lizard was still too powerful. It learned from its mistakes and, after several unsuccessful attempts to subdue Wu Xuan and his companion, suddenly flicked its long tail, causing its speed to increase several times over!
No matter how Xuan Bing attacked, the giant lizard could easily dodge, and the two brothers were always within the range of the giant lizard's attack aura!
The monitor lizard's sharp teeth were already right in front of me.
Seeing that his two fellow disciples were about to die in the giant lizard's mouth, Wu Dongxiao had already activated his trump card defensive items, and he had also put on his high-level treasure armor... The number of usable treasures was not more than when he first entered, but there were still quite a few.
At that moment, the space itself seemed to ripple.
A large, dark green python swung its tail and came over, wrapping it around the giant lizard and throwing it far away in an instant.
Before Wu Dongxiao could even catch his breath, the dark green python had already used its tail to wrap around him and Xuan Bing again, and tossed them together in another direction.
The python hissed, clearly saying "Run!"
Xuan Bing immediately said, "I will not thank you for your great kindness, but I will repay you in the future."
Then, he pulled Wu Dongxiao along and used his fastest movement technique to run away.
The giant python glanced back at them, and then, like a mountain, blocked the vast majority of the seventh-tier rare beasts.
Even when life and death were at stake, the giant python couldn't stop too many. There were still quite a few seventh-tier beastmen that it simply couldn't stop. So it could only do its best and block as many as it could—of course, there were bound to be some that slipped through the net.
So several puppets were also left behind, and they worked together with the dark green python to hold off the beastmen as much as possible.
But to be honest, seeing that Wu Xuan and his fellow disciples were running away so fast, the other beastmen, who were after their family fortune, were determined not to let them go.
therefore……
In this surrounding area, every single beast that wasn't restricted—and had to be of some strength—headed straight for the two brothers.
Having already invested so much effort, the beastmen would be unwilling to give up.
So, a huge, swarming expanse.
It almost looked like a beast tide was about to form in this secret realm.
With a seventh-tier disciple following closely behind, Wu Xuan and his brother couldn't outrun them. So Wu Dongxiao suddenly remembered the Crimson Fire Phoenix that he had kept in his beast scabbard, grabbed his senior brother and jumped on it, then fled at the Crimson Fire Phoenix's extreme speed.
The Crimson Fire Phoenix's strength has been steadily improving. Although it hasn't reached the seventh rank yet, it's quite close and could break through at any time.
The essence of the Golden Fire Phoenix within its body was constantly enhancing its potential, and the energy contained within was abundant—so the Crimson Fire Phoenix might even suddenly break through during this escape.
At this moment, the Crimson Fire Phoenix was like a golden-red fireball, or a shooting star, as it "threw" across the sky, breaking through the quiet "universe" and making the space seem restless and busy.
Wu Dongxiao let out a slight breath, and his wildly beating heart calmed down a bit.
Xuan Bing remained vigilant, watching the pursuing troops behind him.
Because of their previous slow speed, they had been overtaken, but now the "beast tide" was only a few dozen feet away from the Crimson Fire Phoenix.
In addition, those rare beasts were extremely large... such a distance meant that if the Crimson Fire Phoenix were not careful, it could immediately "reunite" with the beast herd.
The Crimson Fire Phoenix maintained its top speed, but it was gradually becoming exhausted.
As long as the herd of beasts behind them refuses to give up, there will eventually come a time when the Crimson Fire Phoenix can no longer withstand the onslaught and will inevitably be overtaken.
Wu Dongxiao quickly calmed down and searched his collection for rare and precious materials that could provide energy to the Crimson Fire Phoenix and allow it to last longer. He quickly wrapped them in his Xuan power and brought them to the Crimson Fire Phoenix's mouth for it to swallow, constantly replenishing its energy.
The Crimson Fire Phoenix also knew that the situation was urgent, and whenever it noticed that the energy consumption was too high, it would cry out as a reminder.
Wu Dongxiao and it complement each other very well.
The Crimson Fire Phoenix persisted... but the beast horde was also very stubborn. Unless they were exhausted and had to be abandoned, the other beasts ran very fast and refused to give up.
The size of the beast tide is indeed shrinking, but its terrifying aura has not diminished in the slightest.
Not a single high-level rare beast disciple left, and none of them were willing to give up.
The Crimson Fire Phoenix ultimately failed to break through its limits, and as it could no longer maintain its top speed, the distance between them gradually closed.
Both Wu Dongxiao and Xuan Bing were prepared for a fight to the death.
Xuan Bing, in particular, felt that he was of a higher level and older, and it was only right that he should protect his junior brother. He was also prepared to use his life to hold off the pursuers so that Wu Dongxiao could escape.
The two brothers were both helpless.
The restrictions of the secret realm are too great. In fact, they carried many defensive and even offensive items that exceeded their level, but they were all suppressed by the secret realm and were limited to the seventh level.
So, Wu Dongxiao's bad luck has led him to this predicament...
·
Eighteen zhang, ten zhang, five zhang...
Two zhang, one zhang!
The seventh-tier rare beast's sharp claws, huge mouth, and imposing aura were already close to touching the Crimson Fire Phoenix!
Suddenly, a large amount of flames erupted from the Crimson Fire Phoenix's body, transforming into a wall of fire that blocked the pursuers behind it.
However, this wall of fire was still too fragile for those disciples of rare beasts.
The lead bear suddenly extended its paw, plunged it into the wall of fire, and then tore it apart to both sides—
In an instant, the wall of fire was torn apart, instantly turning into rolling flames and disappearing without a trace.
When the bear reached out its paw again, it grabbed the tail feathers of the Crimson Fire Phoenix.
The Crimson Fire Phoenix let out a sharp cry, clearly in pain!
Xuan Bing swiftly raised the Xuanhuang Spear and thrust it straight at the bear's eyes!
The bear was at the seventh level, but Xuan Bing was only at the early stage of the Palace Building stage. He couldn't kill the bear with a single shot, so he could only attack its weakest point, either blinding the bear or forcing it to defend itself.
Driven by instinct, the bear returned to defend.
The Crimson Fire Phoenix quickly broke free and leaped forward a great distance again.
However, the pursuers behind them were just as fast.
A giant elephant suddenly lashed out with its trunk, which resembled a huge whip and quickly extended, attacking Wu Xuan and his companion.
Wu Dongxiao quickly used his Black Dragon Halberd to defend, but the difference in their levels meant that the power of the elephant's trunk was far too great for him. Even though he managed to reach it, he felt a terrifying force strike him, almost causing him to drop his Black Dragon Halberd.
The reason he didn't get rid of it was because Wu Dongxiao was holding onto his companion treasure so tightly that his palm was torn open, revealing his white bones.
The giant elephant continued its attack, and Wu Dongxiao dared not take it head-on. He could only use his fastest movement to dart around on the back of the Crimson Fire Phoenix, preventing the elephant's trunk from attacking him immediately.
Xuan Bingze angered the bear and was constantly being grabbed and clawed by its paws. He dodged quickly, but he couldn't free his hands to help Wu Dongxiao.
Moreover, the other rare beasts wouldn't let the bears and elephants monopolize the prey. They also used their own methods to try and seriously injure Wu Xuan and his companion from various nooks and crannies—as long as they couldn't run around anymore, they could easily devour them.
Thus, the battle became one-sided.
Wu Dongxiao was not yet in despair, but a sense of frustration welled up in his heart.
His strength is still too weak!
If he had built his palace earlier, how could he be in such a sorry state now? Even if he couldn't defeat a seventh-ranked opponent alone, if he and his senior brother cooperated sincerely, they might be able to defeat them one by one!
Integration at the district level is far from sufficient.
Wu Dongxiao was already thinking that he had gained a lot of resources this time. If he could return smoothly, he would definitely go into seclusion for a period of time and pull his senior brother to go into seclusion together to hone their skills. He hoped that when they reached the sixth level, he could work together with his senior brother to fight two against one whenever they encountered a powerful creature, or even work together to wear it down!
He believed that his senior brother would agree...
Suddenly, Wu Dongxiao heard a muffled thud and smelled a strong stench of blood.
While still dodging, Wu Dongxiao quickly glanced over.
"Senior brother!"
Wu Dongxiao blurted out, his eyes bulging with rage.
He witnessed firsthand that when a ball of foxfire came hurtling towards him, his senior brother, not daring to let the fire touch him, dodged at an awkward angle and failed to completely evade the bear's paw attack.
A small portion of the bear paw struck Xuan Bing's chest, instantly causing him to vomit a mouthful of blood.
Xuan Bing was naturally unable to bear it, and his face turned ashen instantly.
At that moment, Wu Dongxiao disregarded the elephant trunk's fierce blows and, with a strength he didn't know where he got from, instinctively dodged several attacks. He appeared beside Xuan Bing in a very fast manner, almost rolling and crawling.
Xuan Bing had almost no strength left, but he still managed to dodge slightly, preventing himself from being seriously injured a second time.
When Wu Dongxiao arrived, Xuan Bing looked anxious. He opened his mouth but his mouth was full of blood, so he couldn't speak for the time being. He urgently urged his junior brother with his eyes not to come closer!
However, Wu Dongxiao refused to listen at all.
After he got there, he quickly picked up Xuanbing and carried him on his back. In the blink of an eye, a rope appeared in his hand and he tied him and Xuanbing together tightly.
Xuan Bing could only move his arm.
However, it must be said that although Wu Dongxiao's movements were not fast enough, his combat strength was so strong that he could predict the attack routes of many rare beasts—if he couldn't predict them, he would just guess on instinct—and he still managed to escape in great danger every time.
They actually persisted like that...
However, Wu Dongxiao had no time to take the pills, and Xuan Bing also had to constantly harass the attackers, so he had no time to search for them either.
The two brothers had no choice but to tough it out.
But they also knew that they couldn't hold out for much longer.
Just as the several seventh-tier rare beasts, already enraged, were about to crush the two to death, sharp claws were about to tear the Crimson Fire Phoenix's body apart—
Suddenly, a clear and melodious cry rapidly approached.
In an instant, it appeared right in front of them, and another extremely terrifying claw tore through the space and quickly grabbed the bear's paw!
The bear let out a scream!
It turned out that its paw had been torn off by these claws.
At the same time, a ferocious roar shattered the void, followed by a dazzling silver light that suddenly slammed the giant elephant away, biting off the side of its trunk.
Wu Dongxiao and Xuan Bing, who were originally in a life-or-death crisis, were both stunned at this moment.
At the same time, the Crimson Fire Phoenix let out a joyful cry.
Wu Dongxiao understood what he heard and saw it as well.
The blue and silver light darted swiftly through the beast horde. It was so fast that he couldn't see clearly what it was... but at this moment he could deduce that it was none other than Qingyu and Qinghui!
They came to rescue them!
Wu Dongxiao subconsciously looked around.
I didn't see the two uncles.
He suddenly realized that his two uncles must have let Qingyu and Qinghui roam freely so they could have some alone time. Coincidentally, the two of them ran into him after wandering around here and rescued him.
Wu Dongxiao's heart was beating very fast, but it is now slowly calming down.
At the same time, he quickly found a suitable healing item and brought it to Xuan Bing's lips, and then healed the Chi Huo Luan.
Xuan Bing had been clinging to life to continue supporting his junior brother, and now he was increasingly unable to hold on. Fortunately, his junior brother reacted quickly and brought him the appropriate medicine. He quickly took the medicine to heal his injuries, and as expected, the medicine was extremely effective, and he recovered rapidly.
Among the herd of beasts, there are such extremely fast and powerful rare beasts attacking together; whether flying or running, none can escape their attacks.
Thus, the situation reversed.
Many of the rare beast disciples, assessing the situation, quickly escaped before Qingyu and Qinghui could find them.
Those that couldn't be caught in time naturally became food for Qinghui and Qingyu.
They hadn't eaten for a long time, so although they weren't hungry, they were very tempted.
Qingyu carefully selected and tore off some of the best flesh and blood, putting it into its mustard seed bag, intending to present it to its two masters when it returned.
Qinghui also helped by pawing at it with its claws.
Having rescued the person and obtained two delicious contracted rare beasts, they hadn't had time to think of Wu Xuan and the other person.
After a while, both rare beasts were ready and then came to their senses.
Then, their size rapidly shrank considerably, landing on the back of the Crimson Fire Phoenix like a streak of light.
Wu Dongxiao and Xuan Bing had almost recovered. At this moment, they cupped their hands and smiled at Qing Yu and Qing Hui, saying, "Thank you both for saving us from the beasts."
Qinghui let out a few wolf howls, in a very good mood.
"When I get back, I'll ask my master for a reward. He'll be very happy!"
Qingyu was more composed, and it said frankly, "Dongxiao, be careful."
Wu Dongxiao: "..."
Xuan Bing was injured earlier, and even though he has recovered, he is still a little weak, but he couldn't help but smile.
Helpless, Wu Dongxiao honestly replied, "I will be careful."
Qingyu seemed satisfied, and then hopped over, raised its right wing, and patted Wu Dongxiao's head.
Qinghui followed suit, raising his wolf paw and rubbing Wu Dongxiao's head as well.
Wu Dongxiao, sporting a head of messy hair: "..."
Alright, since I've saved his life, I can give him a little squeeze.
Qingyu and Qinghui spoke a few more words with Wu Dongxiao. Then, they learned that there was a lake in the direction from which the group of rare beast disciples were heading that could yield many treasures and resources, so they prepared to go there.
Next, Wu Xuan and his companion bid farewell to the two contracted rare beasts.
After exchanging greetings, Qingyu and Qinghui, one flying and the other running, headed straight in that direction.
Wu Dongxiao and Xuan Bing, who remained, exchanged a glance and both breathed a sigh of relief.
We survived a disaster.
After that, they gave the Crimson Fire Phoenix a few instructions and then went in a different direction.
Continue searching for resources.
We can't just give up "scraping the land" just because we've been attacked before, can we?
There should be many more great resources in this secret realm, just waiting for them to find them.
Don't miss it.
·
Before long, Qingyu and Qinghui arrived safely at Wanbao Lake.
At this moment, some of the beastmen disciples who had escaped also returned, and upon seeing the roc and the wolf, they couldn't help but feel a strong sense of vigilance.
This aura attracted the attention of many beastmen by the lake.
However, Qingyu and Qinghui did not show any malice. Instead, they found a spot, picked up their fishing rods, and began to fish.
Seeing this, the other beastmen slowly withdrew their aura.
After the roc and the wolf settled in, they fished while also looking around.
They learned from Wu Dongxiao that Xuan Bing's beastmen friends had helped them hold off many pursuing beastmen, and they hoped that their friend was alright.
Qingyu and Qinghui then searched for it.
Before long, they found the large, dark green python.
The python had many wounds on its body, but its overall condition was not bad.
The other beastmen who were mentioned or blocked from being pursued were also identified by the roc and the wolf.
They are all still alive.
That must mean they saw the situation was hopeless and the two sides called a truce after a few rounds.
Good.
Qingyu and Qinghui took out some healing items and threw them at the dark green python.
The dark green python seemed puzzled.
Qingyu cried out a few times before the python finally accepted it with peace of mind and responded with a few words—mainly to inform the two contracted beasts that the puppets that had fought alongside it had now been destroyed.
The other beastmen overheard the exchange between the two sides.
They hadn't learned anything from the beastmen who had fled back earlier, and only now did they know the specifics of what had happened.
...So that's how it failed.
It's a pity, and I'm very unwilling to accept it.
But the beastmen all realized that even with all their efforts, they could not fulfill their wish...
That means those two seemingly weak human cultivators are also quite strange!
They are so unlucky!
Having fulfilled Wu Dongxiao's request, Qingyu and Qinghui remained silent while fishing.
Not long after, about half an hour later, they started pulling the fishing rod back and forth.
The orcs: "..."
Damn it! The previous two groups of humans were so good at fishing, and now these two orcs are also good at fishing!
They also knew that these two rare beasts were the contracted rare beasts of the first group of lucky and powerful disciples.
So, after a rare beast forms a contract with a human, can its luck still be this good?
That's outrageous!
Qingyu and Qinghui didn't care what the beastmen thought.
After they pull up the fishing line, they take the beast blood essence from the hook, which is very suitable for nourishing their bloodline.
It's unclear which beast race it came from, but it was contained in a small, transparent bottle.
Without hesitation, Qingyu and Qinghui threw the small bottle into their mouths and crunched it to pieces.
At the same time, their aura also rapidly increased.
It's really good stuff!
·
While Wu Dongxiao and Xuan Bing were in dire straits, the Zhong-Wu couple continued their journey, encountering many star beasts that emerged from the bulges along the way.
Kill them all and obtain the Star Stone.
They had been in this secret realm for quite some time and had gained a great deal.
But is this all there is to this secret realm?
Are there any other changes?
Despite their doubts, Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan were quick to gather resources.
