Chapter 278
"Oh no, Chen Yu has entered the Red Earth Arcane Realm!"
The long-bearded elder blurted out as he thought of something.
"What did you say? Chen Yu has entered the Red Earth Arcane Realm? "
The instructors who were present were all surprised.
Chen Yu was the champion of this year's competition. Not only was he talented, but he was also favored by the Vice Principal.
A student like him would be famous in Yunzhao Nation in the future.
But now, Chen Yu had entered the Red Earth Arcane Realm, a realm with a sudden increase in the death rate!
"Moreover, he entered it alone."
The long-bearded elder added.
If he had known earlier, he would have stopped Chen Yu. That way, he could have closed the Red Earth Arcane Realm before Chen Yu entered.
"How could this be!"
"Sigh, we should have started the meeting earlier and closed the Red Earth Arcane Realm!"
The people in the meeting could not help but sigh.
The death rate in the Red Earth Arcane Realm had suddenly increased, and Chen Yu had entered alone. The risk had increased again, and the chances of survival were extremely low.
"Close the Red Earth Arcane Realm immediately!"
The white-haired elder said solemnly, and then disappeared.
After the meeting, the long-bearded elder and two Array Masters came to the teleportation point.
"You're back!"
A young teacher looked at the long-bearded elder and said respectfully.
When the long-bearded elder was not around, he was temporarily in charge of the place.
"Did anyone enter the Red Earth Arcane Realm just now?"
The long-bearded elder asked.
"Unfortunately, six people entered the Red Earth Arcane Realm just now."
The young teacher was surprised, but he still answered truthfully.
"What? Six students? "
The long-bearded elder was shocked. This was another piece of bad news.
But on second thought, six students together should be very strong, and the possibility of survival was slightly higher.
If Chen Yu could meet these six students, he might be able to return safely.
"Immediately stop the teleportation to the Red Earth Arcane Realm, and only receive the returning students!"
The long-bearded elder immediately ordered.
...
The sun was high up in the sky, and the ground was a yellowish brown.
"What the hell is this place!"
Chen Yu could not help but grumble.
All around him was the Gobi Desert, and the wind and sand billowed.
Moreover, he had been walking for nearly four hours, and the scenery around him had not changed much. Apart from the occasional volcanoes, he did not see a single person.
This made Chen Yu wonder if the entire Scarlet Earth Mystic Realm was a desert.
Roar!
The Fire Qilin followed behind, hooting happily.
It had been trapped in the cave for a long time, and now that it was out for the first time, it was very excited.
Plus, as a fire-type ancient beast, this place was extremely comfortable for it.
"Hmm?"
Chen Yu's keen senses detected a trace of abnormality.
Whoosh!
Not far away, the ground suddenly exploded, sand and stones flew everywhere.
Suddenly, a huge dark red figure leaped out. It was a huge lizard covered in red scales, and there was even a ball of flame on its tail.
The lizard quickly closed in on the Firescale Beast. It opened its huge mouth, which was filled with sharp teeth. It was ferocious and terrifying, and its mouth was emitting a scorching heat.
According to the lizard's judgment, the Fire Scale Beast possessed a precious fire bloodline. If it could eat it, its strength would definitely skyrocket.
"Courting death!"
Chen Yu let out a cold harrumph.
This lizard only possessed a cultivation of the Intermediate Houtian Realm. How stupid of it to attack him.
Chen Yu swung his arm and threw a punch forward.
The punch landed accurately on the lizard's head at an incredible speed. BANG!
BANG!
Following a loud explosion, the lizard's head exploded, and its body was sent flying a few zhang away.
Roar!
The Firescale Beast ran toward the lizard and started tearing it apart, devouring the fire-type beast core inside the lizard's body.
It took a few more bites of the lizard's flesh, before continuing to follow Chen Yu.
After traveling for a short distance, the scenery in front of Chen Yu finally changed.
In the distance, it was no longer a desert. He could occasionally see a few thick trees and a barren grassland.
Chen Yu took a break after entering the wasteland.
"Hmm? The aura of a beast! "
As a cultivator who cultivated the Art of Evil, Chen Yu was extremely sensitive to the ferocious aura of beasts.
As soon as he entered the wasteland, he immediately sensed that a beast was approaching.
However, the aura wasn't strong, so Chen Yu wasn't worried at all. If the beast attacked him first, he would kill it with a single punch.
However, all of a sudden, Chen Yu sensed something.
"Someone is approaching …"
Chen Yu grabbed the Firescale Beast and threw it into the pet bag.
The Firescale Beast was an ancient beast, and it even had the bloodline of a Qilin. It was better not to expose such a precious ancient beast.
Besides, it was his first time coming to the Red Earth Mystic Realm, so he wasn't familiar with the local people.
…
At the edge of the wasteland, a group of people was moving forward.
"Yan Qin, how was it? Was it fun outside? "
At the front of the group, a well-built young man holding a huge bow looked at a woman behind him with a smile.
"It wasn't fun at all. All the beasts were killed by Brother Chang Mu. The next time I see one, I'll kill it myself!"
The woman was wearing a flowery dress. Her expression and actions were cute and playful.
"There's a beast!"
In the group, a middle-aged man with a long spear in his hand said with a glint in his eyes.
"Where, where?"
The flowery dress girl looked nervous and excited. She took out an arrow, put it on the bow, and pulled the bowstring.
Only to see.
From the hillside not far away, a huge rat covered in red scales suddenly rushed out.
"I see it, a Fire Rat!"
The flowery dress girl aimed the arrow at the huge rat and then released it.
"No!"
The middle-aged man was about to stop her, but the flowery dress girl had already shot the arrow.
Swoosh!
Accompanied by the sound of the wind, the arrow flew out and suddenly turned red, emitting a burst of heat.
However.
Ding!
The fiery red arrow hit the Fire Rat's scales, but it only created a spark, left a trace, and bounced off.
Suddenly, the Fire Rat glanced at the group fiercely and let out a low, ear-piercing hiss.
"How could this be?"
The flowery dress girl's face turned pale, and she was somewhat at a loss.
Previously, when her brother killed the beasts, he killed them with one arrow, and the more powerful beasts were killed with three arrows at most.
But her arrow couldn't even break the defense of the beast.
"Be careful, this Fire Rat's strength has reached the late-stage of the Hou Tian Realm!"
The middle-aged man suddenly shouted, holding the spear in his hand tightly.
In their group, only the strong young man's strength had reached the late-stage of the Hou Tian Realm.
"Bastard, you're courting death!"
The strong young man shouted, picked up the big bow, and instantly shot a huge arrow.
The moment the arrow was shot, it became incomparably fiery red and flashed with flames.
Bang!
The thick arrow fell and bombarded the Fire Rat's body, exploding and releasing a ball of raging fire.
At the same time, the other people in the group shot arrows and threw spears, besieging the Fire Rat.
Hiss!
The Fire Rat kept hissing, its scales were broken, and blood was flowing out.
Its eyes were blood red, and it stared at the strong young man and the others.
"Go to hell!"
The strong young man took out a few thinner arrows and shot them all. Swoosh!
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The arrows were like red rays of light that shot out with shocking penetrative power, piercing through the Fire Rat Beast's body.
Finally, the Fire Rat fell to the ground, motionless.
Not far away, Chen Yu quietly watched this scene.
"Brother Chang Mu is so powerful!"
The girl in the flowery dress was excited, and then she looked at Chen Yu, who was not far from the Fire Rat's body.
"Who are you? Why are you here? "
The girl in the flowery dress slowly approached and asked.
Later, the whole group walked over, and some of them went to dissect the Fire Rat and collect materials.
"You are here alone? I think your group encountered a powerful demonic beast, and you got separated from them! "
The strong young man looked at Chen Yu and said calmly.
The middle-aged man looked at Chen Yu a few more times. He had noticed the demonic beast first, and then he noticed Chen Yu. Maybe this young man was too inconspicuous.
"Yes, and you are?"
In order not to arouse the suspicion of the natives of the Red Earth Secret Realm, Chen Yu did not refute the strong young man's words.
"We are from the Black Iron Tribe!"
The strong young man replied, and there was some arrogance between his eyebrows.
After all, the Black Iron Tribe was considered a strong tribe among the many tribes nearby.
And this young man who got separated from the team must be from a small tribe.
"If we didn't help you just now, I'm afraid you would have been eaten by that Fire Rat!"
The sturdy young man added.
In his opinion, Chen Yu did not move just now because he was scared silly by the Fire Rat at the advanced stage of the Houtian Realm.
Chen Yu was really lucky. When he was in danger, he happened to meet them. Otherwise, Chen Yu would have become food in the stomach of the Fire Rat.
"Thank you!"
Chen Yu smiled.
With his strength, he did not need to worry about the Fire Rat. As long as the Fire Rat dared to come, he could kill it with one punch.
However, compared to this, it was more important to contact the natives here and understand the situation in this world.
"It's okay. It's too dangerous for you to be alone outside. Why don't you go to the Black Iron Tribe first, and then contact your tribe to take you back!"
The girl in the flowery dress said with a smile.
It was the first time that she had left the tribe to hunt in such a distant place and saved someone. This made her a little happy.
The strong young man was a little annoyed. Why did they help this outsider? But in front of the girl in the flowery dress, he could not refute.
"Just follow behind us!"
The strong young man glanced at Chen Yu.
"This hunt has reached the standard. Let's go back!"
On the other side, the middle-aged man had finished dealing with the Fire Rat.
"Go back so soon?"
The girl in the flowery dress was obviously a little unwilling.
"It's very dangerous around here. Not only are there dangerous places, but there are also powerful Demonic Beasts. I even heard that the people of the Green Mountain Tribe encountered bandits some time ago. We were lucky today and did not encounter any accidents. Let's go back quickly! "
The middle-aged man advised.
"Yes, Yan Qin, there have been a few bandits here recently. We'd better go back quickly!"
The strong young man also said.
The girl in the flowery dress nodded, and then they were ready to return to the Black Iron Tribe.
In the team, many people looked at Chen Yu.
"This kid is really lucky. Ordinary people are destined to become the food of the Demonic Beasts if they are separated from the team!"
"It's all because Yan Qin is kind and willing to take him with her. If it were me, I would not care about this kid!"
At the back of the team, several people were chatting in a low voice.
But at this moment …
Woo woo ~
A burst of chilling Demonic Beasts roared, accompanied by the sound of iron hooves.
Immediately, the whole ground trembled slightly. The whole team showed a vigilant look, and many people were panicking.
"Oh no, it's the bandits!"
The middle-aged man's heart sank and his face became solemn.
