"No, it’s still too dangerous. It’s better to be safe than sorry. No one can say for certain what lies within the Secret Realm. I suggest you better play it safe. With the firepower of our defense line, you can ensure maximum safety here."
Ye Anu still firmly refused.
Xiao Zhan looked at him, his resolute deanor, knowing well that persuasion would be futile.
After all, his role was indeed unique.
But he still had to go, for he had his reasons that made it necessary.
He had no choice but to outwardly agree with Ye Anu, "Alright then, let’s discuss other thods."
Not directly reversing his stance, this would lower Ye Anu’s guard.
And sure enough, upon hearing him say this, Ye Anu’s mood softened significantly.
Afterwards, everyone continued to ponder and discuss other thods.
In the afternoon, Xiao Zhan returned to the Xiao residence.
He went to the back garden.
Looking at the tree he had not seen for several months, Xiao Zhan couldn’t help but express surprise.
In just a few short months, the tree had again grown several tis larger; it was about ten ters tall initially, but now it had reached several tens of ters.
Xiao Zhan had seen this tree from a great distance away from his ho.
Furthermore, the tree had beco unusually thick, giving off the feel of a giant tree in a subtropical forest.
But then, a sowhat headache-inducing issue arose: the Original Soil taken out from the Secret Realm had now turned into ordinary soil.
Good gracious.
It hasn’t been that long.
All the energy of the entire Secret Realm has been absorbed by this one tree, and so thoroughly at that.
Xiao Zhan looked at the giant tree before him, truly more and more curious about what kind of tree this was.
Patting the tree trunk, Xiao Zhan said, "Don’t worry, I’ll bring you sothing to eat soon."
He then returned to his room.
The next day.
Xiao Zhan still managed to sneak past Ye Anu’s notice, along with Ye Youlong, and slipped out of the defense line.
Releasing his Perception.
Xiao Zhan quickly locked onto the location of the Secret Realm’s descent.
Perhaps because it had just descended, no mutant beasts had yet co out from the Secret Realm.
Xiao Zhan rushed to the entrance of the Secret Realm and without hesitation, entered.
Once inside, chaos reigned, a myriad of mutant beasts appeared before his eyes, dazzling, making Xiao Zhan sigh at the realization that he had indeed co to the right place.
He looked towards Ye Youlong, who imdiately transford into the Death Demon Scythe in his hand. Xiao Zhan gave a wicked smile and rushed towards these mutant beasts.
Whoever sees it gets a share, no fighting over it.
Xiao Zhan would slay all the mutant beasts that appeared before him.
...
anwhile.
On the defense line of Northern City.
Ye Anu detected the arrival of the Secret Realm and imdiately ordered, preparing the entire army for battle.
At the sa ti, he sent word to Xiao Zhan to hurry over.
He himself was the first to get to the defense line, watching the situation in the Secret Realm with high tension.
After a while, he noticed that there seed to be no activity coming from the direction of the Secret Realm.
He was puzzled, but did not let his guard down.
Because it is common for the Secret Realm’s entrance to be small when it first descends, slowly opening up, with the mutant beasts coming out gradually from small to large.
"Where is Xiao Zhan? Why haven’t they arrived?"
Ye Anu asked the adjutant beside him.
The adjutant replied, "We’ve already notified them. They said they will be here soon."
"Uh-huh, I got it."
Afterwards, Ye Anu refocused his attention on the Secret Realm.
Within the Secret Realm.
At this very mont, Xiao Zhan was slaying beasts in an exhilaratingly liberating manner. The mutant beasts appearing before him were barely lasting a second before he rendered them lifeless.
The corpses of the beasts fell to the ground, and within less than three seconds of their last breath, they directly transford into a mass of shapeless energy that surged into Xiao Zhan’s body.
Xiao Zhan beca more and more invigorated as he killed. This state of killing while simultaneously being replenished made him feel like he had popped a piece of Orbit gum, unable to stop himself.
In a short while, his surroundings were littered with puddles of blood.
As for the corpses, they had already been absorbed.
Roar!
Just then, at a distance from Xiao Zhan, a massive roar suddenly thundered through.
It was a Seventh Grade mutant beast.
It had discovered Xiao Zhan’s presence.
With just a mighty roar, it charged towards Xiao Zhan without hesitation.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhan showed no courtesy in return and lifted his Demon Scythe to et its advance.
These lower-level mutant beasts could only offer him minimal replenishnt, trivial to the point of being negligible for Xiao Zhan—he hardly thought anything of it. If it weren’t for the need to protect Northern City, Xiao Zhan wouldn’t even bother killing them.
Only mutant beasts like this Seventh Grade one before him counted as a substantial boost.
A cold sneer twisted at the corners of Xiao Zhan’s mouth as he charged towards the mutant beast.
...
On the defensive front of Northern City.
The warriors were all on high alert, each at the utmost readiness awaiting the appearance of mutant beasts.
However, they waited and waited, and yet, the mutant beasts that should have appeared by now were nowhere to be seen, causing them montary confusion.
Could it be that this Secret Realm was not a Mutant Beast Secret Realm, but a blessing-filled one?
Ye Anu, standing on the defensive line, was also puzzled by this abnormal scene,
Based on their previous experiences, shortly after the arrival of the Secret Realm, mutant beasts would gradually erge from inside. So why now, after such a long ti since the Secret Realm appeared, had not a single beast shown up?
He thought for a mont, then imdiately summoned his aide-de-camp.
"Go, send an unmanned drone to scout the area."
"Yes."
Following orders, the aide-de-camp imdiately dispatched an unmanned drone towards the Secret Realm.
Ye Anu watched the live feed from the drone’s cara, and suddenly thinking of sothing else, he asked the soldier beside him, "Has Xiao Zhan not arrived yet?"
The soldier was taken aback, then quickly responded, "I’ll go and check right away."
Inside the Secret Realm.
With one strike of his blade, the Seventh Grade mutant beast before Xiao Zhan collapsed thunderously, turning into a corpse.
He released Death Aura, instantaneously dissolving the corpse, which then transford into pure energy, entering his body.
Xiao Zhan’s complexion grew even more vibrant.
"Sustenance from slaughter, with this rate of progress, not only can we sustain life, but also accelerate our cultivation speed."
Xiao Zhan noted.
Just two battles in, the strength Xiao Zhan gained was comparable to about ten days of cultivation in the Cultivation Room. If this kept up, reaching Eighth Grade would not be far off!
Xiao Zhan swept his Perception around the vicinity, noting that within its range the mutant beasts had been eradicated.
But the Secret Realm was still vast. For his own needs, Xiao Zhan would have to clear out all these mutant beasts!
In a flash, he vanished from his spot.
At the sa ti.
The unmanned drone sent out by Ye Anu had also entered the Secret Realm.
Cautiously poking around, it moved with nimble alertness, quite spirited in its actions.
