43: Chapter 43 Departure into a Medium-Sized Secret Realm

After obtaining the Gold-tier beast blood, Chu Xiu went to purchase a batch of dark-attribute Beast Taming resources, throwing them into the Beast Taming Space to provide for the Dark Blade Mantis to cultivate.

Counting the expenses for the batch of evolution resources for the Snow Crystal Silver Lion's evolution, one-third of Chu Xiu's bank card balance vanished in the blink of an eye.

"Raising a beast is truly a money-burning endeavor!"

Looking at the bank card balance reduced by one-third, Chu Xiu couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Afterward, he returned to his routine lifestyle of going back and forth between two points.

Every day, aside from making intermediate mana nutrient solution in the City Defense Research Institute, he stayed at home to cultivate.

Through his almost sleep-depriving and forgetting-to-eat efforts, three days later, the Snow Shadow Battle Lion successfully advanced to a Silver Grade beast, and his own level also rose from Bronze 3-Star to Bronze 4-Star.

At the same time, the Dark Blade Mantis, which had been staying in the Beast Taming Space, successfully increased by 1-star through absorbing a large amount of dark-attribute Beast Taming resources, coupled with the growth acceleration effect of the SS-grade Beast Space, reaching the level of Silver 5-Star.

"The Silver 5-Star Dark Blade Mantis and the Silver 1-Star Snow Shadow Battle Lion are both beasts of exceptional quality. With my current beast combat strength, even among all Beastmasters in Linjiang City, I should be able to rank near the top."

"Now it is time to set out to hunt Silver Grade fierce beasts and let Xiaodao swallow the hearts to complete the second stage of evolution."

Chu Xiu glanced at the two major beasts in his Beast Taming Space and muttered to himself with a gratified smile.

After speaking, Chu Xiu placed the long-prepared letter on the living room table, weighed it down with a teacup, and then walked out of the house.

During these three days, apart from making intermediate mana nutrient solution to raise the Snow Shadow Battle Lion's strength and level, he also inquired about much of the situation outside the city and clarified his target for leaving the city this time.

That was the newly emerged spatial rift three hundred kilometers northwest of Linjiang City that was broadcasted on the news a while ago.

Now, one month has passed, and the Demon Suppression Bureau inspector has completed the secret realm level assessment behind that spatial rift, confirming that the secret realm behind that spatial rift is a sizable medium-sized secret realm.

The surroundings of Linjiang City are basically some Weimang Secret Realms and small secret realms.

If Chu Xiu wants to kill Silver Grade fierce beasts, he must enter small secret realms and above to hunt them.

In small secret realms, the strongest fierce beasts are only Silver Grade, and most fierce beasts are Black Iron Tier and Bronze Tier existences.

Silver Grade fierce beasts are rare in small secret realms, and they are almost overlord-level existences in their own right.

Chu Xiu needs 100 fresh Silver Grade fierce beast hearts, and the Silver Grade fierce beasts in these small secret realms might not be able to meet his demand.

Therefore, Chu Xiu chose the recently newly emerged medium-sized secret realm.

Although there are quite a few Gold-tier fierce beasts and even powerful Platinum-tier fierce beasts in the medium-sized secret realm, and the degree of danger far exceeds that of small secret realms, the number of Silver Grade fierce beasts in the medium-sized secret realm is very considerable, which can easily meet his demand.

...

"Dabai, head in this direction."

After leaving the city, Chu Xiu walked to an open area and summoned the Snow Shadow Battle Lion. Looking at the map in his hand, he pointed towards the northwest direction, and then flipped over to sit on the back of the Snow Shadow Battle Lion.

"Roar!"

Receiving Chu Xiu's command, the Snow Shadow Battle Lion roared and started running towards the northwest direction.

Sitting on the back of the Snow Shadow Battle Lion, Chu Xiu's head of black hair was blown backward by the oncoming fierce wind, and his ears were filled with the sound of howling wind.

After the Snow Shadow Battle Lion reached the Silver 1-Star level, its running speed was completely no weaker than a car driving fast on a highway.

This was still under normal sprinting conditions; if the Snow Shadow Battle Lion sprinted with all its might, its speed could be doubled.

Along the way, the Snow Shadow Battle Lion did not hide its aura, but instead fully displayed its Silver Grade aura.

Before the Snow Shadow Battle Lion even approached, the fierce beasts outside the city perceived the domineering aura on the Snow Shadow Battle Lion from afar, and one after another they avoided it in advance.

Although the number of fierce beasts in the wild is not small, most of them are ordinary-grade and Black Iron Tier fierce beasts, and Bronze Tier fierce beasts are few and far between.

Encountering the Silver Grade Snow Shadow Battle Lion, these fierce beasts were all terrified of not being able to avoid it in time, which also allowed Chu Xiu not to encounter the slightest obstruction wherever he passed.

After the Snow Shadow Battle Lion sprinted for an hour and a half, the two finally arrived at the destination of this trip.

"This is the recently appeared secret realm entrance. This scale is indeed incomparable to the Weimang Secret Realm."

Looking at the huge spatial portal in front of him, which was over a hundred zhang in height and over fifty zhang in width, Chu Xiu exclaimed in admiration.

Compared to the Weimang Secret Realm entrance of Linjiang No. 1 High School, how could the medium-sized secret realm entrance before his eyes be merely a hundred times larger?

"This is a Silver 1-Star aura. This kid's beast actually reached the Silver Grade, and he is still so young. Where on earth did this genius pop out from?"

"That ice lion sitting beneath him is one I have never seen before, but just looking at it, it is mighty and extraordinary, obviously a beast of extremely high quality."

"To possess such a high-quality Silver Grade beast at such a young age, this kid's identity is definitely unusual; he should be a talented disciple of some major power."

...

Every newly emerged secret realm, because it has never been developed by people, contains a large amount of natural treasures inside.

Therefore, every newly emerged secret realm will attract a large number of Beastmasters to enter and search for treasures.

The secret realm in front of him is also the case; besides Chu Xiu, many other Beastmasters gathered at the entrance of the secret realm, and the lowest strength of these people is Bronze Tier.

When Chu Xiu gazed at the spatial portal ahead, the surrounding Beastmasters also sensed the Silver Grade aura released from the Snow Shadow Battle Lion's body.

Seeing that Chu Xiu possessed a Silver Grade beast at such a young age, these Beastmasters all perked up and guessed where Chu Xiu came from.

This place is more than three hundred kilometers away from Linjiang City, and those gathered here are not only Beastmasters from Linjiang City, but also powerhouses from several nearby base cities.

But without exception, none of these people knew Chu Xiu.

At the entrance of the secret realm, an old man sitting leisurely in front of a small wooden house drinking tea also noticed Chu Xiu at this moment.

He only glanced indifferently at Chu Xiu and the Snow Shadow Battle Lion beneath Chu Xiu, and he knew the strength and level of Chu Xiu and the Snow Shadow Battle Lion.

"A Bronze 4-Star little fellow actually cultivated a Silver 1-Star beast, and it's also a variant that I have never seen before. This little fellow is a bit interesting."

After seeing through the levels of Chu Xiu and the Snow Shadow Battle Lion, a bright flash crossed the old man's turbid eyes.

At the same time, Chu Xiu also noticed his existence.

"This old man should be the powerhouse sent by the Demon Suppression Bureau to guard this secret realm."

Seeing that the surrounding incoming and outgoing Beastmasters were extremely respectful to him, Chu Xiu immediately guessed the other party's identity.

The Demon Suppression Bureau is a department specially established by the Shenxia Empire to suppress secret realms all over the country, and there are countless powerhouses among them.

Whenever a new secret realm appears in the wild, the powerhouses of the Demon Suppression Bureau will take the lead in assessing the secret realm level, and then dispatch corresponding powerhouses to garrison the entrance of the secret realm.

Simply to prevent the fierce beasts in the secret realm from rushing out and wreaking havoc everywhere.
