Chapter 630 Someone’s Coming (Part 2)

” This is… Shala, the mythical beast of Yantian Star?!” The three of them immediately perked up, their gazes turning eagerly towards it.

Although they had seen many rare pets as instructors at the Imperial Beast Taming Academy, this was the first time they had ever seen a mythical beast.

“Shala can communicate with plants?” Laufey was the first to react, asking.

Josang hummed in agreement: “Shala has the ability to communicate with plants. This secret realm is full of plants. With their help, we should be able to find the Myriad Source Fruit soon.”

“Even plants that aren’t native to Yantian Star will work?” Bjorn followed up.

This… Josang paused for 0.1 seconds, then, as if remembering something, nodded slightly:

“Yes, it communicated with plants when it was on Tianyuan Star.”

“What an amazing ability,” Laufey remarked.

Bjorn couldn’t help but say, “If this ability were in our Journalism Academy…”

Before he could finish, Michaela interrupted with a smile:

“Let Shala begin.”

Bjorn keenly sensed that Senior Michaela didn’t like what he was saying, and immediately shut up.

“Xia Bao.”

Qiao Sang nodded to Xia Bao.

“Xia Xia.”

Xia Bao called sweetly, then flew down, flitting happily above the flower-covered plain.

Small grass-type pets emerged from among them, turning their heads to follow Xia Bao’s movements.

All the flowers and plants swayed without wind.

The scene was beautiful and comforting.

“I really can’t believe this is an A-level secret realm,” Qiao Sang remarked, looking down.

“The more beautiful the place in the secret realm, the more terrifying the danger it often hides.” Bjorn said with a serious expression, “Secret Realm No. 2 contains unknown high-level pet beasts. An A-level professional beast tamer once entered, but lost contact completely in less than two days.”

“Later, the Dragon Kingdom immediately sent a search and rescue team into the secret realm to search, but in the end only one person came out successfully.”

“There are also many cases of high-level beast tamers going missing inside. In short, we can’t be careless.”

“What about S-level professional beast tamers?” Josang asked curiously, “Are there any cases of them going missing or getting injured?”

Bjorn was silent for two seconds, then said, “No…”

Laufey smiled, “With you and Senior Michaela here, we can feel much more at ease.”

“That’s right.” Bjorn also smiled, “Our safety may still need to rely on you.”

Josang was about to speak when Stein said coldly,

“Don’t forget our mission. We didn’t come here to cause trouble.”

Bjorn frowned, “Don’t be the one causing trouble later.”

“Don’t worry, I can take care of myself. I will never trouble Senior Michaela and Josang.” Stein said coldly.

Laufey sneered, “You’re just a healer. Without us, you probably wouldn’t even be able to get deep into the secret realm. How dare you say such a thing?”

“And you,” Stein retorted, “a guy who only knows how to fight. Without me, if you got injured, you probably wouldn’t even be able to leave the secret realm.”

Why did they suddenly start arguing? I thought that mentors who could cooperate to enter the secret realm must be good-tempered, able to communicate and coordinate well… Jo Sang thought to herself as she smelled a strange odor and sniffed the air.

Then she sensed something and looked up.

Above, three bird-like pets flew leisurely by, and on their backs stood three grass-type pets, mostly rose-red in color, with green flower buds on their heads.

As the three bird-like pets moved, almost invisible powder drifted down from the grass-type pets with green flower buds on their heads.

Noticing the gaze, one of the grass-type pets, with a green flower bud on its head, looked over with a displeased expression, as if to say, “What are you looking at?” It slashed downwards with its paw, sending dozens of glowing green leaves hurtling towards it like sharp blades.

However, the glowing green leaves only traveled a few meters before a sudden gust of wind blew them away, sending dozens of glowing green leaves, along with three flying-type pets and three grass-type pets on its back, screaming as they were swept into the sky.

The dust was also scattered by the wind.

“Qingqing,”

Qingbao appeared where the six wild pets had been blown away, its expression showing displeasure.

The clouds beneath it were noticeably darker than before.

The three pets, who had been arguing amongst themselves, froze, as if snapping out of their negative emotions.

“You’ve inhaled the irritability powder,” Michaela said calmly. “There are many grass-type pets in Secret Realm 2. You need to be constantly aware of the air around you, or you might accidentally inhale some powder.”

Irritability powder is a high-level grass-type skill. Once inhaled, it intensifies negative emotions, causing irritability. It looks almost like dust in the air, very inconspicuous, making it difficult to guard against.

Although it’s a powder-type skill and appears inconspicuous, it’s precisely because of its inconspicuousness and the fact that almost any creature that inhales it will be affected that it’s classified as a high-level skill. “

I knew it when those three teachers suddenly started arguing…” Qiao Sang thought to herself.

“It’s my fault,” Stein said, having calmed down. Then, as if remembering something, he pulled three gas masks from his backpack and said,

“Like the senior said, the air here isn’t safe. We’d better all wear these.”

Laufey and Bjorn had no objections and quickly put them on.

Stein held the last gas mask in his hand, hesitating to speak.

“You can wear it yourself, we don’t need it,” Michaela said calmly, noticing his hesitation.

“Yes, teacher, you can wear it yourself. I’ve received Lu Bao’s help, so I’m unlikely to get poisoned,” Josang added.

“Then I won’t be polite,” Stein said, putting on the gas mask.

“Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao watched this scene thoughtfully, then seemed to remember something, took off its ring, quickly pulled out a scarf, covered its lower face, and tied it on.

Bjorn glanced down and suggested,

“Why don’t we search simultaneously? If the location of the Myriad Source Fruit is too far from here, the plants here might not be…”

Before he could finish, Xia Bao teleported to the side, a happy expression on her face, and called out,

“Xia Xia.”

Everyone told me the location of the Myriad Source Fruit.

Josang was overjoyed and quickly said:

“Let’s go now.”

“Xiaxia.”

Xia Bao nodded and began to lead the way.

“Let’s go, Xia Bao already knows where the Myriad Source Fruit is.” Qiao Sang said.

So fast… The three looked at each other, their eyes showing astonishment.

“Summon your flying-type pet.” Michaela looked at Laufey and said.

“Okay.”

Laufey formed a hand seal.

A dazzling crimson star array lit up, and a bird-type pet about forty meters tall, mostly blue, appeared from it.

The Light Sky Bird, a royal-level flying-type pet, even though it looks huge, its body is incredibly light. It likes to fly with the wind, and its speed is definitely top-tier among flying-type pets of the same level… Qiao Sang looked at the pet that appeared, and related information about it surfaced in her mind.

The group quickly got on.

“Follow Xia Lala.” Laufey said.

The Light Sky Bird didn’t know who Xia Lala was, but there was only one pet moving ahead. With a gentle flap of its wings, it was like a streak of blue light, chasing after it.

She even controlled her speed to avoid flying ahead of Xia Bao.

Sitting on the back of the Light Sky Bird, Qiao Sang’s brain worked unconsciously.

The forces wanting the Myriad Source Fruit should all be inside Secret Realm 2 by now. Even if some forces entered with them today, they’re still searching for the Myriad Source Fruit’s location. The seven forces that entered earlier should have already found it.

Finding the Myriad Source Fruit’s location is just the minimum; next, there will definitely be conflict with the forces already guarding it. How to obtain the Myriad Source Fruit from so many forces is the most important thing…

“Xunxun…”

Just then, Little Xunbao called out beside her, indicating that it felt this secret realm was dangerous. Shouldn’t it summon Brother Ya Bao and the others?

Qiao Sang felt the voice was muffled and turned to look. When she saw Little Xunbao’s appearance, she was stunned:

“Why are you wearing a scarf around your face?”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao called out, indicating that the air here was unsafe, and it felt safer this way.

Qiao Sang chuckled, “You’re quite cautious.”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao called out, indicating that caution was necessary when entering the secret realm.

Hearing this, Qiao Sang was immediately impressed, “You’re right.” Then

, as if remembering something, she said, “We should also put one on Qingbao’s face. It often transforms into wind, making it easier to inhale air containing powder.”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao gave a “you’re right” look, then quickly removed the ring, took out a scarf from it, and handed it to the air beside it, calling out.

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao appeared where it had been handed, showing a rather disgusted expression, calling out, indicating that it didn’t want this on its face; it was ugly.

“Xunxun?”

Little Xunbao was taken aback.

Ugly?

Saying this, it reached into the ring again, wanting to get a mirror to check its appearance.

But just then, the Sky-Light Bird suddenly tilted at a 90-degree angle.

The ring fell from its claws.

“Xunxun!”

Little Xunbao was startled and quickly teleported to the side of the falling ring, catching it and letting out a huge sigh of relief.

“Bang!”

At the same time, a white beam of light shot straight down from the sky, passing through the spot where the Sky Bird was tilting. With a loud bang, a terrifying shockwave exploded on the ground.

“Be careful, it’s the Wood Sleeping Sparrow King.” Bjorn looked up and said seriously.

The Wood Sleeping Sparrow King is a royal-level flying pet. It loves to sleep and is usually gentle, but if anyone disturbs its sleep, it will become extremely irritable and attack indiscriminately… Qiao Sang looked at the pet above, recalling relevant information in her mind, and quickly said:

“Little Xunbao, protect Xia Bao.”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao quickly put the ring back on, called out, and then teleported to Xia Bao’s side.

“Qing…” Qiao Sang spoke, wanting Qingbao to attack.

Just as she spoke, the Wood Sleeping Sparrow King above opened its mouth, and another terrifying white beam of light shot straight down.

A semi-transparent barrier suddenly unfolded in the direction from which the beam of light had struck.

“Bang!”

A deafening crash echoed as the blinding beam slammed into the barrier, scattering intense light. Yet, the barrier remained unmoved, showing no sign of breaking.

Penjami appeared above the barrier, her aura radiating outwards, an unimaginably powerful pressure descending upon the Wood-Sleeping Sparrow King.

“Wood-Sleeping!”

The Wood-Sleeping Sparrow King’s rage vanished instantly, replaced by fear and terror. It cried out and flapped its wings, fleeing as if for its life.

This was the power of Senior Michaela… The three felt a chill run down their spines.

“Let’s continue,” Michaela said without wasting time.

The Light Sky Bird didn’t act immediately, instead keeping its eyes fixed on Xia Bao not far away.

“Xia Bao,” Qiao Sang called out.

“Xia Xia…”

Xia Bao finally snapped out of its daze and floated forward.

Little Treasure Hunter followed beside it, protecting it.

The entire Secret Realm No. 2 was almost entirely covered in vegetation, teeming with grass-type pets. For ordinary beast tamers, traversing the ground amidst the plants and wild beasts was a hellish task.

However, traveling through the air significantly reduced the difficulty.

Although numerous wild flying-type pets launched sudden attacks from the sky, causing them to suffer many assaults, under the protection of Qingbao and Penjiamei, the Sky Bird and the people riding on its back remained unharmed, successfully traversing the Secret Realm.

Little Treasure Hunter stayed by Xia Bao’s side the entire time, and miraculously, almost no wild pets attacked them.

After more than half an hour, Xia Bao, who had been floating in the air, suddenly began to descend.

“Stop for a moment,” Bjorn keenly noticed Xia Bao’s movement and called out.

Xia Bao didn’t stop.

“Xia Bao,” Qiao Sang called out.

“Xia Xia?”

Xia Bao stopped what she was doing and turned to look at them with a puzzled expression.

“Is the Myriad Source Fruit down there?” Bjorn asked.

“Xia Xia,” Xia Bao nodded.

Upon hearing this, Bjorn looked down and then around, his brows furrowing slightly. He said in a deep voice,

“Something’s not right.” Something

was wrong. If the Myriad Source Fruit was down there, it meant there should be many forces around, and besides the ground, there should also be pets monitoring them from the air… Qiao Sang looked around but didn’t see any high-level flying or ghost-type pets.

In a flash of thought, Bjorn said,

“Everyone, don’t rush. Let me check first.”

After saying that, he formed a hand seal, and a dazzling crimson star array lit up in the air.

After a short while, a small purple butterfly-like pet appeared in it.

The Hundred Illusion Butterfly, a king-level pet with dual flying and psychic attributes, skilled in various illusion-type skills… Qiao Sang looked at the pet in the star array, and related information subconsciously surfaced in her mind.

“Don’t use your true form. Go down and take a look,” Bjorn said.

“Hundred Illusions,” the Hundred Illusions Butterfly cried out, its body flashing with blue light.

The next second, hundreds of Hundred Illusions Butterflies, identical to it, flew downwards in unison.

Below, the thick canopy of trees blocked all view.

Just as the Hundred Illusions Butterflies approached the canopy, a hemispherical barrier inexplicably appeared.

The moment they touched the barrier, their bodies suddenly burst into flames and vanished.

At the same time, in the dense forest, a middle-aged man with red curly hair, a cigarette dangling from his lips, leaned against a tree, glanced upwards, and said,

“Someone’s coming.”
