47: Save yourself!

Chu Yuan felt a sense of irritation in his heart. A feeling of losing control emerged, just like that time in Chenyang City.

Previously, seeing that giant beast in the sinkhole and that strange Martial Artist, he was only seventy or eighty percent certain that something had happened in the Secret Realm. But the failure of the Secret Realm passage made him one hundred percent certain that a major problem had occurred within the Secret Realm!

But he did not understand. This trial had gathered all the martial arts Geniuses of Great Qin for this year! For a trial of this level, why was the protection so weak? How could it be so easily infiltrated?

The experts outside, the military, the Zhenwu Bureau... what exactly were they doing!?

Chu Yuan did not pin his hopes on the outside world suddenly discovering the anomaly in the Secret Realm and sending high-level Martial Artists to open the passage. Ever since the Blood Sacrifice Grand Array incident in Chenyang City, he had discovered that the enemies of Great Qin were not low-intelligence fools. They were capable of formulating rigorous plans and knew how to endure and lie in wait...

Since the opponent had decided to cause trouble in the Secret Realm, they must have made corresponding arrangements! Chu Yuan also did not think that the giant beast and that Martial Artist in the sinkhole would just stay there doing nothing. Now, the only way was to find a way to save himself!

But this situation was different from Chenyang City. The Blood Sacrifice Grand Array in Chenyang City could be converted via the System once he touched it! But this time, there was no grand array for him to convert. Could it be that if he touched that giant beast, the System could convert it into a spirit pet? Chu Yuan shook his head, throwing this absurd thought out of his mind.

A way to break the situation... With his current Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation, there was absolutely no way. To break the situation, he had to improve his cultivation! But another problem was that although he had cultivation resources, he lacked the subsequent Cultivation Technique... otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to come to this Secret Realm at all!

How about... finding a place to hide and waiting for the experts outside to discover the anomaly in the Secret Realm? Once the trial ended and no one came out, they should notice something was wrong, right... Anyway, Secret Realm No. 7 was not too big and not too small. If he was determined to hide... it wouldn't be that easy to find him, right?

But before that, he still had to find where Yang Yi was. If he could save him, he would... No, he still had one backup plan! Chu Yuan remembered the strongest means he currently mastered: the Blood Sea Soul Locking Formation!

If he could set up this Formation, even if he couldn't resolve all the enemies immediately, at least he could hold out until outside reinforcements arrived! As long as there were sufficient Materials, with his Foundation Establishment Middle Stage spiritual power reserves, he could barely manage to get this grand array running!

Materials... Chu Yuan looked at the girl who had spoken to him earlier. At this moment, she had already returned to the middle of her original small group. Two boys seemed to be comforting her about something...

He certainly couldn't collect the Materials by himself. Back then, Yan Xuan and the others had no idea how long they had lurked in Chenyang City to set up the Blood Sacrifice Grand Array. Although Chu Yuan's mastery of the Blood Sea Soul Locking Formation was superb, and he had no external interference, allowing him to focus on setting up the Formation; he still needed complete Materials, even if some things not available in Secret Realm No. 7 could be replaced...

The problem was, how to make these students willingly help him collect Materials? He couldn't just say directly: "You are about to die, but I can save you, as long as you go and find..." It would be a wonder if he wasn't treated as a lunatic. These people were hiding on the stone platform precisely because they were afraid of the danger brought by the Blood Beasts, so how could they risk danger to go searching for Materials everywhere? And he didn't have any organizational or agitation skills.

"Tian Tian? Can we talk for a moment?" Chu Yuan approached and said. A boy looked at Chu Yuan with hostility: "What are you doing? Didn't you say you didn't want to team up with us?" Chu Yuan knew the mind of such a little sycophant like the back of his hand and couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him, just looking at Tian Tian quietly. Tian Tian was silent for a moment: "Okay."

Actually, she wasn't a green tea. Her bad complexion when she came back just now wasn't because of Chu Yuan's refusal; it was because of what Chu Yuan said... How could the information left by the military in the terminal be wrong? If it said that one could leave the trial through the vortex, then it must be possible to leave! Their guesses were very likely just wishful thinking! They were just unwilling to face reality...

"How much further do we need to go?" There was a hint of vigilance in Tian Tian's tone, and her pace slowed down. Just for a 'quick talk', did it require leaving the stone platform and even walking further and further into the remote areas? She had a clear understanding of her appearance and figure, knowing well that many perverts liked her type... Don't think that Martial Artists were so noble, only aspiring to the Dao; in fact, Martial Artists were also people, and they had all the desires they should have! They couldn't do without eating, drinking, and having fun either!

Chu Yuan looked at the stone platform. Actually, there was no need to go this far; he was just organizing his words and had walked here unconsciously. "The Secret Realm has had an incident." Tian Tian asked doubtfully: "Isn't that obvious?" "It's not as simple as you think." Chu Yuan shook his head: "I am a bit stronger than you all, so I followed the direction the Blood Beasts were running to investigate. In the 'Blood Abyss' marked on the military map, I discovered a giant Blood Beast that is constantly devouring ordinary Blood Beasts to get stronger! Besides that, there is also a high-level Martial Artist guarding it... Guess what it will do after it stops devouring?"

Tian Tian imagined the scene Chu Yuan described, her face paled, and she said unnaturally: "It should... be fine, right? There are many children from big Families in this trial, as well as Geniuses from super-large cities! It is said that many of them have reached the Inner Breath Realm. They... should be able to deal with the giant beast and Martial Artist you mentioned, right?"

Chu Yuan sighed softly, then invoked his spiritual power and struck a palm at the open space beside him! A muffled explosion came, and soil and stones flew everywhere! A huge pit with a diameter of several meters appeared in front of Tian Tian; "Is this the kind of Inner Breath Realm you are talking about? They are not even as strong as me... If the giant beast really starts moving, they can only wait to be slaughtered."

Tian Tian opened her mouth slightly, looking at the big pit Chu Yuan had struck out in shock; "This..." "You..." "I..." After a moment, she finally regained her sanity, her voice trembling slightly, seemingly with a crying tone: "Then you... then why are you telling me this? I just entered the Qi and Blood Realm, I can't help..."

The heavy reality almost made her unable to breathe. She had originally thought that even if the sky fell, the tall ones would hold it up. But at this moment, Tian Tian suddenly realized that the tall ones couldn't hold it up either... Then wouldn't they, these small fries in the Qi and Blood Realm, die even more miserably? If only she had known... she wouldn't have participated in this trial!

Chu Yuan looked at her and said in a deep voice: "I have mastered a Formation that might help the situation; but... I need you to mobilize people to help me search for Materials to set up the Formation! Before the collection of Materials is complete, do not reveal this news for the time being." "Why me?" Chu Yuan said quietly: "Because I discovered that you seem to have a way with boys..." Tian Tian's face turned red, somewhat embarrassed and angry: "It's not what you think..." "I didn't think anything. In short, do you agree?" "I don't seem to have a choice... However, why not choose those experts to collect the Materials? Since you are stronger than them, you should be able to suppress and persuade them, right?" Tian Tian asked in confusion.

The speed at which Inner Breath Realm Martial Artists collected Materials was naturally countless times higher than that of Qi and Blood Realm Martial Artists. "Them? They probably all went to their deaths... Who knows how many can come back alive..." Chu Yuan's tone was unreadable. Overconfidence was the common failing of Geniuses; especially those with good talent and strong Family backgrounds. To them, in a place like Secret Realm No. 7 which had been managed by Great Qin for many years, all dangers were controllable and would not exceed the limits of their abilities! Therefore, facing the abnormal movement of the Blood Beasts, their first reaction, just like Chu Yuan's, was to go and investigate! But Chu Yuan felt lucky even about how he escaped, so for those Inner Breath Realm Martial Artists who were mostly forcibly promoted through special means... it was really uncertain how many could run back alive! But there would always be some who survived;

... "Chu Yuan!" An angry shout rang out on the stone platform. Chu Yuan, who was rehearsing the setup method of the Blood Sea Soul Locking Formation in his heart, opened his eyes and saw a flash of cold light piercing his eyes! A girl with disheveled clothes was holding a dagger and stabbing towards his brow: "How dare you scam us!?" Chu Yuan thought, and the wind slasher placed by his leg was instantly in his hand, and he smashed it out with the scabbard! A figure flew backward, hit the stone platform and bounced a few times, finally being caught in someone's arms. Li Ji held the girl, his eyes full of anger: "How dare you strike so heavily!?" "I hit her, not you, right?" ...
