“Don’t explain, I understand!” Seeing that Wang Ye was about to explain himself, Xu Hu immediately smiled and waved his hand, “Get ready and let’s go. Cheng Zhi, how are things on your side?”

“I’m quite lucky!” Cheng Zhi took out a strange black bone, “My rock rat dug out a skeleton from somewhere. It looks like the remains of a fierce beast. It should be able to sell for quite a sum as a material. Big brother Xu, do you think this thing is valuable?”

Xu Hu glanced at it and touched it, then said, “Yes, it’s very hard. It should be at least the remains of a level 2 fierce beast. As for what it is, I’m not too sure. When we get back, the Investigation Corps has a resource department. You can just go and ask. If you can get something out of it, this trip will be worthwhile.”

“Okay, okay!” Cheng Zhi excitedly put it away.

With that, the three of them continued heading to their destination. Xu Hu led the team while Xiao Jiu flew and began to patrol the surroundings.

“Wang Ye, don’t let your green sparrow fly too far. The little fellow is still young,” Xu Hu instructed, “Fierce beasts don’t even recognize their own kin. They are all monsters that have been corroded by the dark fog and have completely lost their spirituality as pets. Their attack power is very high.”

“If we encounter more than three fierce beasts, even if they are only level 1 fierce beasts, we will have to take a detour.”

“Yes, yes…” Wang Ye nodded.

The journey was relatively calm, but the sky was getting darker and darker.

Along the way, they did encounter two or three small packs of fierce beasts. As long as Xu Hu them, he would avoid them from afar.

He prevented making a move by all means.

Along the way, Xu Hu introduced all kinds of fierce beasts to the two. He was quite responsible.

At the same time, Wang Ye slowly took the mind-waking pills to recover his spiritual power.

Six hours later, they were very close to the secret realm.

Suddenly, Wang Ye had a vague feeling as if Xiao Jiu was engaged in some kind of battle.

“Looks like Xiao Jiu has encountered the fierce beasts!” Wang Ye’s heart pounded.

He wondered what the result of the battle was.

In the reality simulation yesterday, the green sparrow had escaped.

Since it had learned a new skill today, would the outcome be different?

“Chirp!” From afar, Xiao Jiu flew back. The feathers on its body seemed to be a little less, though the rest didn’t seem to have changed much.

Of course, only Wang Ye noticed this detail.

Xu Hu and Cheng Zhi didn’t pay too much attention to it.

“What happened?” Xu Hu immediately asked.

Wang Ye’s heart moved, and he immediately said, “It said that there are traces of a battle ahead. It felt that the scenes ahead were very dangerous, so it escaped back.”

“Traces of a battle? I’ll go and take a look. You guys set up your tents here and rest for a while. We’re about to enter the secret realm,” Xu Hu’s expression turned solemn.

As he spoke, he rode on his fierce-flame tiger and quickly disappeared from Wang Ye’s sight.

Cheng Zhi set up a tent on the side while Wang Ye took Xiao Jiu to the other side.

“Chirp…” Xiao Jiu suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a fiery red lotus-like flower stamen that was the size of a palm.

Wang Ye sensed that dense spiritual energy was constantly being emitted from the flower, along with a sense of purity and heat.

“You really took care of it?” Wang Ye first took a photo of the flower and immediately inquired about it in the Dongli Pet Forum.

Soon, he obtained information about the item.

The Sacred Flame Nether Lotus was a rare high-level resource in the wild. If it was matured, it was worth millions. The pure aura it emitted could purify filth and evil, and it had a fatal attraction to fierce beasts.

It was the core material for the second and third evolution of many flame-type pets.

“This should be in its infancy stage, but will probably still rake me a fortune!” Wang Ye immediately wrapped the fiery red Nether Lotus up and put it away in his backpack.

He got the treasure!

The simulator was indeed awesome!

“Not bad, not bad!” Wang Ye patted Xiao Jiu’s head. “A great contribution!”

“Chirp!” Xiao Jiu was very satisfied after receiving the praise.

After a while, Xu Hu returned.

His expression was extremely grave.

“Big brother Xu, how’s the situation?” Cheng Zhi asked upon seeing this.

“There are indeed traces of battle,” Xu Hid with a solemn expression, “Three fierce beasts, namely the shadow loach, demonic flame snake, and blood eagle. They’re all six-star level-one fierce beasts. When the three of them join forces, they’re comparable to a seven-star level-one pet. But what’s scary is that the battle was extremely fast. They had all been killed in one fatal move. According to the aura left behind, it seems to be a move from a pet with a soul-type skill!”

“We should have encountered an expert! I only found some burnt feather remains at the scene. I don’t know what the pet is, but it should belong to a professional beastmaster who came to explore the wild. They’re very strong!” Xu Hu finished his words with a serious expression.

Wang Ye was shocked, and he glanced at Xiao Jiu discreetly.

Good Lord, the Skyful of Feathers was that strong?

Did it kill the three beasts in one move?

Though, Xiao Jiu’s six-dimensional growth was no longer the same as before. It also had the boost from the Sky-dance, where all it had to do was dance a few rounds in the sky and boost its state.

Added to the power-increase effect that the Skyful of Feathers had, even if the green sparrow was just a beginner, if it launched a sneak attack while already knowing that the opponents were three fierce beasts, it was indeed possible for Xiao Jiu to kill them in an instant!

Unknowingly, Xiao Jiu was already so strong.

To have such a battle record in its first battle, Wang Ye was very gratified.

It had only been a little over a week.

“So strong?” Cheng Zhi asked in surprise.

“Professional beastmasters are all very powerful,” Xu Hu nodded. “Although I have a level two pet, I’m too old. I can’t even pass the fighter profession sequence’s beastmaster examination. Anyone who can become a professional beastmaster must have some skills. The world will belong to you youngsters in the future. Of course, you’re still a long way off. Get ready. We’ll enter the secret realm after we rest.”

“The Baisen Secret Realm has just opened, and its area isn’t too big. According to experience, there won’t be any fierce beasts that exceed level 2. We only need to investigate the reason for the appearance of the secret realm, as well as the general environment and actual situation inside. We probably won’t need to go through too many battles. Of course, there are many treasures in the secret realm, but it’s also very dangerous. There are even secret treasures with special attributes. If we can find them and feed them to our pets, they can greatly increase the pet’s six-dimensional growth. Any one of the secret treasures with special attributes would be worth at least several millions.”

…

On the way, Xu Hu had already told them a lot about the situation in the Baisen Secret Realm, so Wang Ye was more or less clear about it.

Naturally, Wang Ye did not mention anything about the Sacred Flame Nether Lotus.

After all, these two people had attacked him for no reason and killed him in the simulation. Although he hadn’t felt anything wrong with them on the way here, he still had to be careful.

“Should I run another reality simulation? I wonder if there will be any changes this time.”

Reality simulation was different from script simulation, and his mental state was still pretty good now.

“Let’s give it a try! Just to be safe!”

Wang Ye instructed Xiao Jiu to immediately do a reality simulation.

[Reality simulation commencing. Loading information…]

[In the evening, you and your beastmaster who are on high alert, entered the Baisen Secret Realm with the two companions.]

[As soon as you entered, you and your beastmaster suddenly heard an evil cry. In the next moment, the two companions lost control and immediately attacked your beastmaster together with their pets. At the critical moment, you, who had been waiting for the danger in secret, immediately made a move and killed the two companions.]

[You and your beastmaster continued to move forward! Vaguely, you felt as if you were being watched.]

[You and your beastmaster started wandering in the Baisen Secret Realm. At the bottom of a pond, you found a shimmering golden fruit. At the top of a dark green tree, you found a strange leaf shimmering with moonlight.]

[On the way, you relied on your extraordinary strength to kill one fierce beast after another, recording the situation in the Baisen Secret Realm. Your beastmaster is proud of you.]

[Very soon, you arrived at the depths of the Baisen Secret Realm’s core. You and your beastmaster saw a white silkworm that was surrounded by a glowing blood-like cocoon. Just as you were surprised, a shadow enveloped everything. The darkness devoured you, and you died.]

[The simulation has ended. Because the duration of survival is too short, there are no rewards.]

Wang Ye began to ponder.

So this was the reality simulation?

It was indeed dangerous, but death was not inevitable.

Before the simulation, Wang Ye had told Xiao Jiu to wander around the secret realm as much as possible to find more fortuitous encounters.

One had to be more reckless in the reality, or else one would not learn anything.

Naturally, it was even more dangerous.

For example, if he let Xiao Jiu be cowardly, they could’ve just left the secret realm after getting some treasures.

“This simulation has provided me with a lot of information! It seems that the Baisen Secret Realm is not simple!”
