Chapter 851: Secret Realm No. 88 (two in one)

Suddenly, the clouds above stirred eerily.

Following that, a colossal teal figure, large enough to obscure half the sky, suddenly shot down from above the clouds.

At the same time, the white clouds on both sides of the aerial passage surged, completely obscuring the teal figure.

When the white clouds dispersed, the teal Pet with the massive figure was already hovering in the aerial passage, with some white clouds forming steps beside the teal Pet.

The person sitting above, whose hairstyle remained perfectly neat, descended the white cloud steps, immaculately dressed.

“Steel Slash…”

Steel Treasure looked at the quietly resting teal Pet and the white cloud steps beside it, feeling quite amazed.

It had never seen such a scene while Flying in the air.

“You should put Flame Qilu and the others into the yu beast codex.” Seeing that the person from above had almost finished descending, Mi Jiala suddenly remembered something and said.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: “Why?”

Mi Jiala said indifferently: “If Pets go on this aerial passage, you also need to buy a ticket, and I only bought tickets for the two of us.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang, without another word, waved her hand and put Ya! and the others into the yu beast codex.

At this moment, a sweet voice, amplified, descended from the sky:

“Hello, dear passengers, this is the front stop of the aerial passage, Pan Tian City. Passengers wishing to proceed, please board in an orderly manner. The stopping time for this trip is ten minutes.”

As soon as the voice fell, flight attendants in uniform appeared next to the white cloud steps.

After Mi Jiala handed the tickets to the flight attendant for inspection, she led Qiao Sang to the teal bird-like Pet and found their respective seats.

During this time, the teal bird-like Pet remained motionless, as if it wasn’t even breathing.

“I didn’t expect this Pet to have specifically practiced Breath Concealment.” Mi Jiala sat for a while, then suddenly remarked.

Breath Concealment, a Beginner-level skill of the General type, allows one to conceal their aura. When mastered, one can even suspend their breathing. Many weak wild Pets generally know this move.

However, this teal bird-like Pet practicing this move was clearly for the purpose of giving passengers a more stable experience while on it.

“They are all professionally trained before being put into service,” Qiao Sang said.

After she spoke, the sweet voice descending from the sky sounded again:

“Dear passengers, we are about to take off. Please pay attention to safety, do not leave your seats at will, and during this brief journey, we wish you to relax and fully enjoy an efficient and comfortable travel experience.”

Five seconds later, the teal bird-like Pet spread its enormous wings and flew to a higher altitude.

This position was level with the aerial passage.

At the same time, a transparent protective shield enveloped the teal bird-like Pet, preventing airflow from rushing in.

…

An hour and a half later.

Pan Tian City.

Yu Beast Center.

Third floor.

The Judge’s office, specifically responsible for assessment matters.

The tall, thin Middle-aged Man stared at the data on the computer screen for several minutes before turning his head and asking:

“You are from the Yuhua region, why aren’t you participating in the Regional Competition there, and instead came to our Zhongkong region?”

Because my opportunity is here… Qiao Sang did not speak her mind, saying: “My teacher brought me here for training.”

Upon hearing this, the Middle-aged Man’s gaze changed again.

The girl in front of him was clearly of school age, yet she wasn’t in school, and was even brought out by her teacher for training, and this training directly involved a Regional Competition.

Truly, it’s too extraordinary… The Middle-aged Man made a decision in his heart and began searching through the assessment tasks.

Since it was training, he naturally had to give a difficult one, otherwise, the other party might think that the official competition qualification for their Zhongkong region’s Regional Competition was easy to obtain…

With this mindset, the Middle-aged Man made his selection and looked up, saying:

“A 31-year-old young man went missing in the 88th Secret Realm a week ago. Go find him.”

He paused, then added: “If that young man is already gone, I hope you can bring out his remains. He sent a distress signal before he disappeared. I will send the location and his information to your Yu Beast Center app’s backend shortly.”

The mission location is actually inside a Secret Realm, the difficulty has directly skyrocketed… Qiao Sang suddenly thought of something and asked: “What if his entire body was swallowed by a wild Pet?”

Wild Pets in Secret Realms have not been domesticated and have not seen humans. Among them, there are not a few that directly treat humans as food.

When she was learning about Secret Realms in Qiao Sang’s Old Home in the Yuhua region, she often saw people who came out of Secret Realms on the internet recounting being chased by wild Pets inside.

How could someone so young speak such terrifying words so calmly… The Middle-aged Man’s expression was momentarily stunned, but he quickly recovered and said in a normal tone:

“Then find evidence that he has died. As long as you find it, your assessment will be considered passed.”

This task is too difficult… Qiao Sang nodded and said:

“I understand.”

…

“Ya! Ya!”

Walking out of the office, Ya! excitedly pointed its paw forward, indicating to set off now!

Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched: “No rush, let me understand the situation inside the Secret Realm first.”

This task is clearly different from the previous one.

A Secret Realm, a place regarded as a dragon’s den by ordinary Yu Beast Masters.

Unlike a warehouse, where you can go in, check if there’s nothing, and come right back out.

Once you enter a Secret Realm, you must be fully prepared, otherwise, you might not return.

However, Qiao Sang wasn’t too flustered, after all, she had an S-Class Beast Master accompanying her.

Regardless of whether the mission was completed or not, safety was absolutely guaranteed.

…

“What? You’re not coming in with me?!” Qiao Sang’s eyes widened, confirming in disbelief.

She never expected that after she explained this task, Teacher Mi Jiala would actually say she wasn’t going with her!

Mi Jiala calmly said: “I said I would not interfere with any assessment tasks you undertake.”

Qiao Sang quickly said: “You don’t have to help me when doing the task, just follow me in.”

Mi Jiala looked at her:

“I have been to the Secret Realms of the Dragon Kingdom and know the situation there. Absolute vigilance is required. If I accompany you in, will you still have a sense of crisis? Will you still remain vigilant at all times?”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment and couldn’t answer.

To be honest, she would remain vigilant, but not at all times.

With an S-Class Beast Master accompanying her, who could still have a sense of crisis!

Mi Jiala saw Qiao Sang’s silence, knowing that she understood her meaning, and said seriously:

“This task will be a very good training opportunity. You need to solve the problems in front of you by yourself. No Yu Beast Master participating in the Interstellar Cup grew up in a greenhouse.”

Qiao Sang was silent, then nodded:

“I understand.”

…

Yu Beast Center, Accommodation Area.

Room 907.

Qiao Sang opened her computer, clicked on the search bar, and planned to look up information about the 88th Secret Realm.

For safety reasons and information compilation, almost every Secret Realm has a dedicated forum.

People who have been in and those preparing to go in will discuss there.

I wonder if there’s a post about that young man’s disappearance… Qiao Sang’s gaze shifted downwards, and she quickly saw the content she was looking for:

ChapterMy companion went missing in the 88th Secret Realm# Chapter

Qiao Sang clicked to browse.

[I advise everyone, when entering the 88th Secret Realm, you must find a Yu Beast Master whose Pet doesn’t sleep as a companion. Half a month ago, I found three companions to go in together: a Professional Beast Tamer, a Trainer, a Healing Master, and an explorer—all were present. But we only stayed one night, and when we woke up in the morning, the Trainer was gone. Yet, we heard absolutely no sound during the night.]

There were many comments below, and Qiao Sang saw one of them:

[The four of you, didn’t you take turns keeping watch at night?]

The楼主 replied:

[The missing Trainer was the one on watch that night.]

[Then that’s the Trainer’s problem. If you ask me, finding a Pet that doesn’t sleep is useless. Even if you wake up, can you definitely defeat the wild Pets that see you? You should find a Yu Beast Master with a Pet capable of Space Movement as a companion.]

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Just as Qiao Sang was about to continue browsing, Xiao Xunbao’s voice sounded beside her.

She turned her head and found that Xiao Xunbao had come over at some point, staring at the comments on the computer screen with a serious expression.

Its gaze fell on the sentence “You should find a Yu Beast Master with a Pet capable of Space Movement as a companion,” and it nodded, indicating agreement.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Seeing that the computer screen wasn’t moving, Xiao Xunbao then looked at its Yu Beast Master, called out, indicating to continue looking down.

Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched. She didn’t continue browsing but exited the post and checked other posts.

The young man to be found in the assessment task went missing a week ago, not half a month ago. The people in this post didn’t wake up when their companion went missing, either the missing person was taken away by a wild Pet before they could even make a sound, or those people that night were affected by hypnotic skills or something similar.

If she encountered such a situation, for the former, she could have Xiao Xunbao use Space Movement. For the latter, hypnotic moves mostly don’t succeed immediately; there are a few seconds when drowsiness sets in. At that time, Lu Bao could use Healing Light or Xiao Xunbao could use Tongue Lick.

Qiao Sang roughly clicked into each post to glance, finally clicking on the pinned post # Chapter88th Secret Realm Information Overview# Chapter.

[88th Secret Realm, Location: JInwu Mountain, Level: C]

[There is only one entrance to the 88th Secret Realm. Upon entering, you will encounter a group of Beginner-level Bug and Poison dual-attribute Pets, Poison Fang Worms. They are numerous, quite bold, and already know that humans will enter at any time. So everyone, be careful, you might face an attack from a group of Poison Fang Worms as soon as you enter.]

[Remember, you must bring a Yu Beast Master with a Pet that has Healing-type skills. If conditions permit, it’s best to bring a Healing Master who specializes in detoxification, because there are quite a few Poison-type Pets in this Secret Realm.]

[To get deeper into the Secret Realm, you can go southwest. There’s a group of Poison-type Pets, Wonderful Hair Scorpion, nesting there. They like to eat hair. You just need to bring a few boxes of wigs and scatter them along the way. Their attention will be on the wigs, and they won’t be interested in you anymore.]

[If you don’t have money to buy so many wigs, then shave your head before going in, and the Wonderful Hair Scorpion won’t be interested in you either.]

[The least recommended direction is northwest. There’s a group of Swamp Mud People on the ground there who will unexpectedly drag you into the swamp, and a group of Qi Qi Birds often circle in the air. If you take the aerial route and they call out, you will be overwhelmed with sorrow and cry bitterly, and your Pets too. Then you will be attacked, and the outcome will most likely be falling from the air and being dragged into the mud by the Swamp Mud People.]

[Also, remember to leave one person on watch at night and not sleep. In recent years, quite a few people have suddenly gone missing while resting at night.]

[Anyway, if you’re going to the 88th Secret Realm, you need at least three people to go together…]

Qiao Sang carefully read this post, noting down all the relevant content one by one. When she saw the part about needing at least three people, she couldn’t help but seriously ponder:

Although Ya! and the others have attack, escape, and Healing skills, this is her first time entering a Secret Realm. To be safe, should she find two people to go in with her…

“Xiao Xunbao…”

At this moment, Xiao Xunbao called out from beside her, interrupting her thoughts.

Qiao Sang turned to look at it.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao showed a “so scary” expression.

This place is too dangerous. How about we find two powerful humans to go in with us instead?

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Do you understand all the words?” Qiao Sang asked with a complex expression.

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao was first startled, then quickly waved its paws, indicating that it didn’t understand many words at all and was not suitable for studying!

Qiao Sang: “…”

…

At the same time.

The next room.

Bathroom.

Mi Jiala looked at the mud-like Pet beside her, which was largely off-white, had hands but no feet, and said:

“Spit one out.”

“Nienienie.”

The mud-like Pet made a sound, then opened its mouth and sprayed a slightly viscous white mud onto Mi Jiala’s face.

Mi Jiala didn’t dodge, letting the white mud spray onto her face.

She looked in the mirror, reached out her hand, and rubbed her face.

The white mud permeated her skin and disappeared.

Mi Jiala pressed her nose, and her originally high nose instantly flattened quite a bit.

She then squeezed both sides of her cheeks.

Her cheeks immediately became sunken, changing from an oval face to a melon seed face.

She then adjusted her eyebrow shape, eyes, and chin in turn.

Three minutes later, Mi Jiala looked at the thin, even somewhat sunken cheeks, small and sharp eyes, protruding brow bones, and completely unfamiliar face in the mirror, and smiled contentedly.

As Qiao Sang’s mentor for the next few decades, she certainly had to ensure her safety. She naturally couldn’t let her go into such a dangerous place as a Secret Realm alone.

However, if she stayed by her side, Qiao Sang’s mindset towards the Secret Realm would definitely be different, and it wouldn’t achieve a good training effect.

But this problem was easy to solve, as long as she didn’t recognize her…

…

On the other side.

Qiao Sang looked at the information about the assessment task sent via the Yu Beast Center app.

[Missing Person Information: Liu Bo, male, 31 years old, C-Class Healing Master, went missing a week ago. When entering the Secret Realm, he was part of a three-person team. The other two were Zhai Yang, contact: 18…0765, and Yuan Jiewen, contact: 18…3443.]

The people who were part of the team at the time would know the situation best. It would be best for me to bring one of them in with me… Qiao Sang thought, while dialing Zhai Yang’s number based on the information displayed.
