On this day, three aircraft bearing special markings arrived at the edge of the Cold Rain Forest and landed at the gate of the guardhouse. The aircraft were engraved with simple emblems derived from the dragon veins of the Central Plains, which were the school emblems of Kyushu Academy.
Three hunting teams from Kyushu Academy, along with three instructors, walked down together.
As for the Guardhouse, it is the basic organization responsible for guarding and monitoring the status of the secret realm within each major secret realm area.
"Ugh~"
A sudden sound of retching drew everyone's attention.
Hua Changle covered her mouth, her face pale and her eyes glazed, extremely embarrassed.
She never expected that she would get motion sickness in a flying vehicle instead of a hovercar!
That's incredibly fast!
Her fragile body was already feeling unwell, and that sudden stop at the door just now completely ruined it! Her stomach and head were starting to churn.
Apart from Kulei who was keeping a close eye on things, the rest of Goubuli remained indifferent. On the contrary, the members of the Crimson Flame Team and the Infinite Team glanced in their direction a couple more times.
Hua Wuyan stood next to Chi Feng, the captain of the Crimson Flame Team. Hearing the noise, he glanced at him, but seeing that it was just motion sickness, he looked away with disdain.
Meng Yu from the Infinite Team, however, turned back after seeing that she was alright.
The three teachers leading the team stood at the front of the group and repeated the precautions for the secret realm mission. Then they asked everyone to check their equipment one last time.
"Attention everyone, make sure you wear your miniature respirators. The humidity in the Cold Rain Forest is extremely high, especially for those with fire attributes. Be sure to adjust your respirator settings properly to prevent any supernatural outbursts."
A chubby teacher said, "Also, wear waterproof clothing. The Cold Rain Forest occasionally experiences rainfall mixed with strange energy, and the waterproof clothing will provide some protection!"
The teacher's name is Chu Zi, which sounds like "cook".
His original profession was indeed a chef. Later, through continuous exploration of cooking skills and food, he unexpectedly awakened a superpower and became a rare food-type support-type superpower user.
The miniature respirator he mentioned is something resembling a crescent-shaped Bluetooth headset. It clips onto the bridge of the nose and automatically adheres to the skin. It is waterproof and sweatproof and filters the air we breathe.
A waterproof garment is similar to a raincoat, but it is a more fitted and convenient piece of clothing.
After getting ready, the group set off together towards the entrance to the secret realm deep in the forest.
The three teams each formed a small group, with the combat team on the outside and the support team on the inside, and the three teachers positioned in front, behind, and in the middle.
The deeper we went into the forest, the heavier the moisture became. After walking for a short while, everyone's waterproof clothing was covered with water droplets.
This environment is comfortable for wood-type, especially ice and water-type ability users, but it is very uncomfortable for fire-type ability users.
Captain Chi Feng and Hua Wuyan of the Crimson Flame Clan were clearly in a bad mood.
Xunfeng, the captain of the Infinite Team, has the ability to transform into beasts. Although his ability was not affected, he was in a bad mood because he was at the back of his team, with Bai Xie of Goubuli right behind him.
The two were mortal enemies with both old and new grudges.
Xunfeng suppressed the urge to roll her eyes at him.
But Bai Xie was still restless, tugging at flowers and snagging at grass, and occasionally using them to tease "Little Dog"—Xunfeng.
Xunfeng was furious, but he couldn't vent his anger because of the place, so he just kept glaring at him.
The rest of the crowd noticed and glared angrily at Goubuli.
The people from Goubuli not only ignored it, but their attitude became even more unrestrained, just like their captain Bai Xie's smug and obnoxious manner.
Kulei suddenly said to Hua Changle, "Little Lele, do you know why we call ourselves 'Goubuli' (meaning 'dogs won't eat it')?"
She didn't lower her voice at all; everyone present could hear her. Upon hearing this, the atmosphere inexplicably became three degrees more dangerous.
Hua Changle was oblivious; she had been curious for a long time: "Why?"
Kulei chuckled twice and said, "Because the captain of Infinite, the handsome Swiftwind, doesn't like us!"
"Huh?" Hua Changle's mind raced, and he suddenly realized.
"Oh! Senior Xunfeng's superpower is related to dogs!"
"Ku, Lai, Yi!"
Xunfeng's voice came through gritted teeth, his sharp eyes flashing like knives: "If you dare to say the word 'dog' again, I will definitely not let you off in the secret realm!"
Kulei, fearless, covered her mouth and chuckled, "Oh dear~ I'm so scared~"
The crow next to her shivered and turned its head away.
I can't stand his brother making that kind of noise!
Yes, Kulei is their brother! The brother who's always stealing their little girls!
Most of the girls that the team members finally managed to meet were snatched away by this guy!
But when asked, they all fluttered with infatuation: "Oh my, who doesn't like a pretty lady?"
I'm so angry!
Xunfeng bared his sharp teeth, but his deputy, Qiu Niao, coughed twice, which calmed Xunfeng down and made him back down.
The silver-rimmed glasses on one side of the caged bird's eyes reflected a faint light, revealing a pair of slightly narrow eyes that were as gentle as jade. He turned his head and smiled at the members of Goubuli, easily defusing a potential fight.
In the Infinite Team, Captain Swiftwind is the main damage dealer, while the heart of the team is Vice Captain Prisoner Bird.
Among the generally accepted assessments of the Infinite Team, everyone unanimously agrees that—
If Swiftwind is a mad wolf, then the caged bird is the rope that tethers him.
After a brief interlude, everyone arrived at the entrance to the newly discovered secret realm.
A towering ancient tree, over a hundred years old, appeared before everyone's eyes.
The ancient tree has an extremely thick trunk, with its tangled roots deeply embedded in the earth, and its branches extending in all directions, occupying a territory of tens of meters.
The tree canopy was shrouded in mist, as if piercing through the ethereal clouds and soaring straight up into the azure sky.
The entrance to the secret realm is right under this ancient tree.
Chu Zi stepped forward and took out a source energy stone, placing it under the ancient tree.
Source stones are aliens that appear along with the arrival of alien species. They are stone-like objects that contain energy of the same nature as alien abilities.
Later, this energy stone was also found inside the alien species. The higher the level of the alien species, the more energy the energy stone contained, the purer it was, and the higher its quality.
Chu Zi took two steps back, and the energy stone immediately melted like ice, seeping into the roots of the ancient tree.
Then, as if the ancient tree had come to life, two thick and resilient branches bent down from above and joined together to form a round door as tall as a person.
After the "gate" was formed, the space in the middle began to distort, revealing a secret realm, which was their destination.
The Secret Realm of Chuihu.
"This is the entrance to the Hanging Pot Secret Realm. Each team should bring their connecting tokens and ensure that all team members start from the same point. Alright, now enter the secret realm. The rest is up to you."
The Crimson Flame Team took the lead, with Hua Wuyan leading Meng Danruo into the secret realm. Next came the Infinite Team, and finally, Goubuli.
The moment he stepped through the door, Kulei grabbed Hua Changle.
The moment she stepped into the entrance to the secret realm, it felt like she had been put on a drop tower. The feeling of weightlessness rushed to her heart, but then she felt suffocated. She choked on her scream and knew something was wrong!
