Chapter 129: Returning to Cerulean Planet
“Roar!”
A frightening roar came from afar.
Above ground, as the ocean of white skeletons continued to spread, a gigantic skeleton dragon with a wingspan of over 30 to 40 meters suddenly rushed out from the horde of white skeletons.
Upon seeing Ye Xuan’s group, it immediately moved its gigantic dragon wings and charged headfirst.
At the same time, at the edges of the ocean of white skeletons, tons of White Dried Skeletons had crawled out from the ground.
Gazing at the sight, one could see a densely packed horde of white.
Mixed within the horde of White Dried Skeletons were Dried Skeleton Soldiers and Dried Skeleton Generals.
There was even a five to six meters tall Dried Skeleton King within the horde of White Dried Skeletons that stood up and was looking around its surroundings.
It was as if they were also confused, confused why they had suddenly appeared there.
“Sh*t! Sh*t! F*cking hell!!”
Riding his Frost Ember Dragon Blood Centipede beside Ye Xuan, Zhu Wen’s heart thumped.
He was a mere Dark Iron beast tamer.
It was the first time he entered a secret realm.
And in his first visit to the secret realm, he had to encounter something like this. He really did not know what to say.
To him, an anomaly like this was the same as a natural disaster.
Lin Zhibai and the others had a similar expression on their faces.
[Frost Wing Skeleton Dragon: One Star
Level: Low-level Gold
Abilities: Frost Breath, Flight, Damage Reduction, Dragon’s Might]
In the meantime, upon seeing the mountain-sized giant skeleton dragon that had a wingspan of 30 to 40 meters from far away fly towards them, Ye Xuan had already confirmed the dragon’s attributes with a glance.
However, after confirming the attributes of the skeleton dragon, Ye Xuan’s face turned pale.
The Frost Wing Skeleton Dragon’s grade was shallow.
It was only one star.
It had already grown to its peak.
However, it had already reached the Gold level.
To Ye Xuan and the others, this was overwhelming.
Completely and utterly overwhelming.
Normally, a three-star Bronze level beast would have the potential to advance to the Gold level.
However, one’s potential and actual strength were two completely different things.
“Vuong!”
However, just as Ye Xuan was feeling a chill at the bottom of his heart and was prepared to start escaping…
Accompanied by a buzzing sound, multiple constantly twirling spatial vortexes suddenly appeared above their heads.
“What’s this?”
Upon seeing the spatial vortexes, Ye Xuan and the others’ eyes lit up.
Before entering the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm, they already knew that they would not have to go through the White Bone Plains when returning to the Cerulean Planet.
Instead, when the time had come, each university’s teachers would create multiple spatial channels near their bodies to use the spatial channels to leave the place quickly.
Clearly, the spatial vortexes in front of their eyes were exactly that channel.
“Let’s go!”
Upon seeing the spatial vortexes, Ye Xuan did not hesitate. He issued a simple command and quickly led Lin Zhibai and the others to charge into the spatial vortexes.
Whoosh!
From far away, the Frost Wing Skeleton Dragon flew at high speed. Every time it flapped its wings, powerful gusts would surround the area below it. Who knew how many White Dried Skeletons were destroyed in an instant.
However, the distance between the skeleton dragon and Ye Xuan’s group was over a thousand meters.
Meanwhile, the distance between Ye Xuan’s group and the spatial vortexes was only a dozen or so meters.
By the time it reached Ye Xuan’s group’s location, Ye Xuan and the other students had long gone into the spatial vortex channels and left the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm to return to the Cerulean Planet.
“Roar!”
The Frost Wing Skeleton Dragon raised its head and roared; it spread its Dragon’s Might violently around the area while flapping its wings.
In an instant, numerous white skeletons within a radius of a few hundred meters were sent flying all around, creating a harrowing scene.
Beasts that had reached the Gold level and those below the Gold level were on completely different planes.
“F*ck, what the heck is going on!?”
“What’s wrong with the White Bone Plains? How did it suddenly spread to reach the Ancient Corpse Forest?”
“What Ancient Corpse Forest, even the Soul Burial Mountain that we were at, was completely overwhelmed.”
The moment Ye Xuan and the others exited the Secret Realm; they saw multiple students discussing fervently among themselves with horrified expressions on their faces.
Clearly, they had also encountered the same thing that Ye Xuan’s group encountered.
“Quickly check if anyone from your group is missing.”
As the students were engaged in intense discussions, the universities’ teachers walked over from somewhere and said to them quietly.
It was obvious, the expressions of the teachers were not that great.
“Teacher, we’re all here; no one is missing.”
“Teacher, no one is missing among us as well.”
After hearing the teachers’ questions, the students answered one after another.
“Teacher, Xie Hui did not come out; when the secret realm began to mutate, we encountered a Dried Skeleton King, Xie Hui… He…”
However, some students turned completely pale after hearing the inquiry.
In the end, after a brief examination, it was discovered that due to the anomaly of the secret realm, five of the students who entered the realm would forever remain within it.
Moreover, it was due to the university teachers’ quick reaction and response that only five would remain in the secret realm forever after the secret realm’s anomaly.
If they were just a little bit slower, who knew how many students would actually make it out of there.
Ren Ya, who walked over with the other teachers, examined Ye Xuan’s group. Upon finding out everyone from Ye Xuan’s group had made it out safely, her face relaxed slightly.
This time, no one from Ye Xuan’s group encountered any accidents while inside the secret realm. Walking out of the realm safely was the best one could hope for.
Otherwise, if Ye Xuan and Lin Zhibai were both stuck inside the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm, she would not know how to explain it to Lin Shiru.
“Hmm?”
However, just as a smile began to appear on her face, her gaze fell on the ball-shaped object wrapped in the Golden Net secret treasure that sat in front of Lin Zhibai’s White Flame Bronze Bird.
Upon seeing the item wrapped by the Golden Net secret treasure, Ren Ya, who was usually very calm and not easily agitated, could not help but open her mouth at that moment.
“You guys!”
She examined the item wrapped inside the Golden Net secret treasure in detail. Finally, she looked at Ye Xuan and the others and subconsciously rubbed her forehead. It was a headache.
“Ms. Ren.”
At that moment, seeing Ren Ya walk over before Ye Xuan could say anything, Lin Zhibai spoke first. “We went looking for evolution materials after entering the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm. However, these seniors came to cause trouble with us more than once. We had no choice but to retaliate.”
As he spoke, he turned to signal at Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan understood his meaning.
He moved his thoughts and took back the Golden Net secret treasure that bound Ye Luoqing and others from afar.
Then, he silently put it back into his beast ring.
The Golden Net secret treasure was a Dark Iron Peak level secret treasure.
However, if used well, even a Bronze level beast bound by it would find it hard to escape.
Ye Xuan already possessed the Treasure Affinity talent, and if the students from Wanshan University did not ask for the Golden Net later, he would keep it for himself.
“Plop!”
Just as Ye Xuan took back the Golden Net secret treasure, amidst the plopping sound, Ye Luoqing’s group fell on the ground one by one.
After that, under numerous gazes, their faces flushed red as they stood up with their heads lowered. They did not dare face the gazes around them.
“What’s going on here?”
Upon seeing this, the teacher leading the Wanshan University group immediately walked over, the expression on his face changed.
This teacher was the elder who had a loud voice and commanded the Mountain Eagle that brought Wanshan University students over.
He had been the teacher-in-charge numerous times, bringing students of his university into different secret realms to train.
However, never had he encountered a situation like this before.
“Dear sir.”
Faced with the question of the Wanshan University teacher, Ye Xuan raised his head, and with a bright smile on his face, said, “I have already explained what happened earlier to our Ms. Ren.”
“I am the special enrolment student of Jiangzhou University for this cohort. I entered the secret realm this time with other students from several Jiangzhou University’s affiliate high schools.”
“We know that our strengths are limited. So, after we entered the secret realm, we had no intention of causing any problems and only wanted to look for treasures.”
“However, for some unknown reasons, the senior brothers and sisters from Wanshan University began to follow us immediately after they entered the secret realm.”
“After we managed to shake them off, they separated into teams, and these few Eternal Night Clan senior sisters and brothers of Wanshan University found us again and even told us that they would kill us or something.”
“We had no choice but to beat them up, pack them up and bring them back. I hope you don’t mind.”
“You!”
After hearing Ye Xuan’s explanation, the eyes of the teacher-in-charge of Wanshan University widened.
“We went causing problems for you? Kid, do you dare say that you did not rob the treasure that we had our eyes on for a very long time at the Tens of Thousands Corpse Lake?”
At the same time, Xu Feng’s group from Wanshan University also walked over from afar.
The dozen or so people around Xu Feng were all looking at Ye Xuan. Anger filled their eyes.
They saw and knew clearly. After the lightning element beast flew away, it had landed on Ye Xuan’s shoulder.
“Yes, that was me.”
Ye Xuan answered with a smile, “I, robbing you of your treasure, isn’t that fair competition?”
“You!”
Upon hearing that, the expressions on the faces of Xu Feng’s group became even more distorted.
“Li Hong.”
Then, at that moment, after seeing the glare of the Wanshan University elder, Ren Ya raised her eyebrow and said, “If you do not believe the words of our Jiangzhou University students, you can ask the lot of them what happened right here, right now.”
As she spoke, she pointed at the Eternal Night Clan students. Then, she said, “If they say no, then we can discuss further. There’s no need to glare at my students like that.”
After hearing that, the elder whom Ren Ya addressed as Li Hong, took a deep breath. He turned around to look at the beast tamers of the Eternal Night Clan.
However, the seven Eternal Night Clan beast tamers lowered their heads even lower after seeing the arrival of Li Hong’s gaze.
“Rubbish! Let’s go!”
Upon seeing that, there was no way Li Hong did not know what had happened.
He snorted coldly and immediately summoned the Mountain Eagle. Then, using his mental energy, he picked up his university students and directly departed.
This time, they had been completely humiliated.
In particular, when Ye Xuan spoke to him, he kept using the words ‘senior sisters’ and ‘senior brothers’; even if he wanted to argue with Ye Xuan, he could not bear to do it.
“You lot did well.”
Upon seeing Wanshan University’s elder leave with his students, Ren Ya’s gaze fell on Ye Xuan’s group. A smile appeared on her face.
Immediately after that, she waved her hand and summoned her Iron Walled Chariot. Then, she led Ye Xuan’s group back to Jiangzhou University.
As for the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm’s anomaly, it would only be dealt with after discussions between the universities.
