208: Uncle He Wu, the Beast General Reappears

The Seventeenth Secret Realm was battered by snow and wind, with a biting, bone-chilling cold.

As far as the eye could see, it was a vast expanse of white, silver covering the land, lending a touch of desolation.

As soon as Su Yuan entered, he found the surrounding environment incredibly familiar.

The peak of the snowy mountain during the Martial Arts Examination training camp was similar to the scene here, but the temperature was much lower than there.

Ordinary Fourth Realm and Fifth Realm Martial Artists entering here would likely be shivering and covered in frost in no time.

For Su Yuan and Qin Xuexin now, the low temperature here was naturally nothing.

The surging Qi and blood within their bodies were enough to maintain a normal body temperature on their skin.

It was just that the two of them, dressed in thin short-sleeved shirts, looked a bit out of place in the icy, snowy landscape.

"Which way should we go?"

Qin Xuexin scanned the surroundings and asked Su Yuan.

"Let's go straight first and see. Didn't the two professors say that the Seventeenth Secret Realm is very chaotic? Maybe we'll run into Primal Chaos Beasts soon."

"Mm, I hope we encounter Primal Chaos Beasts as soon as possible."

The two determined their direction, and Protective Aura burst forth from their bodies, pushing open a path as they both stepped through the snow, moving forward.

The path they had walked, now devoid of Protective Aura, was quickly covered again by the falling snow and wind.

Their purpose in entering was to find and kill Hunyuan Beasts; if it were anyone else, most people would probably want to stay far away from Primal Chaos Beasts.

Unfamiliar with the environment of the Seventeenth Secret Realm, encountering one or two Primal Chaos Beasts would be fine, but if they ran into a small Primal Chaos Beast pack, they'd be finished.

"Cough, cough..."

"Help..."

"Save me..."

As they walked, Su Yuan suddenly frowned and stopped.

"Xuexin, is someone calling for help?"

At this point, the only sound in their ears was the loud howling of the wind, but Su Yuan faintly heard a very weak voice.

"It seems like someone is calling for help."

Qin Xuexin's eyes scanned the surroundings, locking onto a certain direction.

At the same time, Su Yuan's gaze also turned there.

"The voice sounds quite old."

"Let's go, we'll check it out."

Su Yuan hesitated for a moment, then decided to head towards the direction of the cry for help.

"Okay."

Qin Xuexin nodded and walked with Su Yuan towards the front right.

A dozen seconds later, the two stood around an area where the snow cover was slightly thicker.

Looking down, a pale, purplish, cracked lip was slowly blowing away the snow covering its mouth.

Weak words of distress were coming from its mouth.

Aside from the cracked lips, the rest of its body was covered by heavy snow.

What a powerful will to live.

Su Yuan thought to himself.

After a moment's hesitation, Su Yuan gently pushed aside the snow with his Protective Aura.

A man of about fifty years old with half-white hair lay in a pool of blood; he had no left arm, only a solitary right arm remaining, but thankfully both feet were intact.

There was a clear tear mark on the man's clothes over his abdomen, and his entire abdomen was caved in, a gruesome sight.

Two figures appeared vaguely in his vision, and the man's eyes widened in disbelief, his will to survive instantly ignited.

He spoke rapidly, as if experiencing a final burst of energy.

"Please save me, both of you. I need a high-grade recovery supplement."

After saying this, the man's spirit quickly withered, and his eyes lost their luster.

Su Yuan was stunned by the words; he didn't have that stuff!

Let alone high-grade recovery supplements, he didn't even have the most basic recovery fluid.

He didn't need that stuff.

Qin Xuexin quickly took out five bottles of high-grade recovery supplement, a faint blue Protective Aura slowly flowing from her hand, opened the man's cracked mouth, and then opened a bottle of high-grade recovery supplement for him to drink.

After one bottle of high-grade recovery supplement, the man's condition slowly improved, and his eyes gradually regained their color.

After several more bottles of high-grade recovery supplement, the man's caved-in abdomen visibly swelled back to normal.

His aura was strengthening, no longer as listless as before.

This was the power of high-grade recovery supplements, capable of treating the injuries of any Sixth Realm Martial Artist.

The price, well, it was three hundred thousand xia country currency per bottle.

Which meant that with Qin Xuexin's five bottles, one and a half million xia country currency was gone.

Seeing the man recovering, Su Yuan and Qin Xuexin moved a little further away from him.

Gazing at the man, Su Yuan thought to himself that this person was a Peak Sixth Realm Martial Artist, and among Peak Sixth Realm Martial Artists, he was considered one of the stronger ones.

To inflict such severe injuries on him, nearly costing him his life, combined with the torn claw marks on his abdomen, the opponent must have been a Primal Chaos Beast.

A few minutes later, the man finally recovered.

He propped himself up with his only remaining right hand and slowly stood up from the ground.

Swaying unsteadily, the man quickly thanked Su Yuan and Qin Xuexin.

"Thank you both..."

At this sight, the man immediately froze in place.

The two people in front of him were a man and a woman, which was normal, but what wasn't normal was their excessively young appearance.

They didn't look over twenty years old, no matter how he looked at them.

Suppressing his inner shock, He Wu continued, "Thank you, two young friends, for saving me."

"My name is He Wu, a second-generation disciple of the He family from Qingshu City, Jing Province."

After speaking, He Wu wanted to continue by saying that if the two ever had any difficulties in the future, they could mention the name of the He family from Qingshu City.

But seeing their composed and extraordinary demeanor, did those words seem a bit redundant?

For a moment, He Wu was at a loss for words.

Even he was bewildered by the scene before him.

Hmm?

Wait a minute!

He Wu stared at Su Yuan and Qin Xuexin, finding their appearances very familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before.

"Su Yuan."

"Qin Xuexin."

Seeing He Wu had no further words, Su Yuan and Qin Xuexin also stated their names.

Suddenly, He Wu gasped, the cold air entering his abdomen almost worsening his injuries.

"You two are Su Yuan and Qin Xuexin, the first and second place winners of the National Martial Arts Examination?"

He Wu clutched his abdomen and recovered for a while before speaking to Su Yuan and Qin Xuexin with a look of astonishment.

"Yes."

Su Yuan and the other smiled slightly, not hiding their identities.

"My goodness..."

He Wu almost cursed; his recently calmed emotions were showing signs of excitement again.

What a joke, this was the Seventeenth Secret Realm, a Secret Realm that only Peak Sixth Realm strength could enter.

According to their Realm during the Martial Arts Examination, shouldn't they be in the Twenty-Fourth Secret Realm?

How did they suddenly jump to the Seventeenth Secret Realm?

At this moment, He Wu's heart trembled violently.

"Since Uncle He is alright, we'll be leaving now."

Su Yuan saw that He Wu was recovering in all aspects except for his left arm, which could not be reattached, so he said to him.

He Wu had a look of wanting to speak but then forcefully held his words back, watching the two about to leave.

He was content enough to have saved his life, but he was powerless to get the gift he promised his grandson.

Damn it, when did that guy 'Explosion' have to Break through? He just had to Break through a few days ago.

His grandson's birthday was the day after tomorrow, and he had originally planned to give that item as his grandson's birthday gift.

He Wu sighed softly, having no choice but to make plans upon returning to the He family.

Just then, a teasing voice rang out from the surroundings.

"Leaving?"

"Where do three xia country ants think they're going?"

One, two, three... Eight Hunyuan Beasts instantly appeared from all directions, all using teleportation to arrive around Su Yuan and the other two.

The scent of blood emanating from He Wu's body had been detected by the Primal Chaos Beasts, who immediately rushed over.
