44: Entering the secret realm, irresponsible teacher, no explanation, just start fighting
It was another sleepless night.
Han Lie was also a little nervous, because the Mystic Realm was, after all, unknown, mysterious, and even somewhat terrifying.
For a transmigator like him with a cheat, it was safer to honestly kill chickens to increase strength, but eventually, this step had to be taken.
He hadn't forgotten that the testing ground for the Martial Exam,
was the Mystic Realm before his eyes.
The night passed without a word.
The next day, all the students were ready to go. Unlike the chattering when they first arrived, everyone's words were noticeably fewer.
"Let's go!"
Old Ge gave the command, his body suddenly shooting forward several meters. Seeing this, everyone quickly followed.
Only at this moment did everyone realize that their homeroom Teacher was also a Martial Artist of considerable strength.
While moving,
everyone's attention was on the front, afraid of losing the Teacher. As for the scenery they passed, they had no mind to appreciate it.
Only Han Lie was frantically shaking his head,
What was he looking at? Of course, it was the entries.
Don't mention it,
He actually found a few entry bugs. For example, an unknown wild dog was displayed as a third-grade fierce wolf, but there was no corresponding task trigger. Killing it alone was meaningless.
—Might as well kill chickens.
The journey was silent,
Old Ge's speed was very fast, and no creatures dared to come forward to block the way. Everyone climbed over mountains and crossed plains. After about two hours, they suddenly stopped.
They saw,
a white, visible, standing giant vortex appeared before their eyes. This vortex seemed like a magical force, stirring this small world.
"The Mystic Realm passage has arrived!"
Old Ge said.
"!!!"
Everyone looked over curiously. Two days were not enough for them to explore every corner of these dozens of square miles, so most of them did not know about this place.
Just looking at it made their hearts pound.
"Let's go!"
"Ahhh, what the f*ck!!"
Old Ge didn't give everyone a chance to react. He grabbed two students next to him and directly threw them in. This was a huge contrast to his usual teaching style.
Seeing this, the other students quickly stepped forward. Being thrown in by the Teacher was not a pleasant feeling. Han Lie was in the middle-to-back position, and like everyone else, he honestly lifted his leg and stepped in.
Only for a moment,
it felt like a long time had passed.
There was no feeling of the world spinning as imagined, nor did he feel anything inside the tunnel. It was as if the rules of the two worlds had blinded his perception.
The next second, when he opened his eyes, he was in another small world.
If he hadn't been on a plain the previous second, and now what met his eyes was a vast, boundless forest.
He might even suspect,
—He hadn't moved from his spot.
"Holy sh*t!!"
"We're here already?!"
"Is this the Mystic Realm?!"
Everyone else found it novel. They felt that this was indeed the Mystic Realm they had imagined, but also a little different.
"It's too big!"
Han Lie had only this one feeling. In his impression, the Mystic Realm should be a small world.
But after stepping in, he felt that the height of the sky seemed to be several times that of Blue Star, and the width was immeasurable...
Take the big tree not far away, for example. It felt like it would take at least five people with outstretched arms to embrace it.
This... must be at least a thousand years old, but even such a large tree, under this heaven and earth, was like a piece of duckweed.
"Let's go!"
Old Ge spoke surprisingly little. After determining a direction, he urged everyone to set off, as if staying for too long would be dangerous.
"—Bang bang!"
Their feet pressed against the soil with force, and the group moved through the dense forest. Another half hour passed, and suddenly, the area ahead opened up.
Looking again,
a small-to-medium-sized station appeared before their eyes. Upon reaching this point, Old Ge slowed his pace and signaled everyone to follow.
At the same time, he said:
"Entering the Mystic Realm through the Mystic Realm tunnel, the landing point is different each time. These two days, I will teach you how to distinguish directions, and then I will give you a map. This map clearly records dozens of landing points, large and small, within the Mystic Realm, just like the one in front of you!"
"Hey, Teacher!!"
Someone's mind worked quickly, thinking, if they were all different, why did they land at the same spot!
"I know what you want to ask!"
Old Ge smiled and explained, "That's why I urged you to enter quickly. Within a short period, people entering in the same batch will land at the same point. Of course, this is not absolute..."
"Huh?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's hair stood on end.
What did that mean?
When they just came in, they could have been teleported to an unknown landing point, and alone? Wouldn't that make them orphans?
"It seems everyone's luck is good!"
Old Ge said with a smile.
"???"
"When you step into the Mystic Realm, luck is sometimes very important," Old Ge only said this last sentence. "Alright, let's go!"
Everyone quickly followed.
This was a small landing point. Everyone felt everything was novel, like Granny Liu visiting the Grand View Garden.
The setup was actually quite ordinary.
Just some wooden blockhouses, accommodating the army, Martial Artists, and some liaison official staff, especially the latter group, whose numbers were pitifully small.
This temporary landing point was truly temporary.
"Teacher Ge!"
Someone walked up with a smile.
"Lao Zhao, long time no see!"
"Hahaha, it really has been a long time. The last time I saw you was three years ago. I don't know if it's the teleportation point acting up or what, but I keep not running into you all these years!"
"Exactly, I finally ran into you. Having you here makes me feel very at ease!"
The two chatted for a while.
They left the group aside.
On this side,
Cui Dazhi and others were also carefully whispering, "Are we sleeping here tonight? It looks like we'll have to pitch tents, but with this weather, it won't feel very cold even sleeping outdoors!"
"I wonder what the arrangements are for tomorrow. What do you think we'll eat tonight? I just saw a few Martial Artists carrying a huge wild boar, it looked like a second-grade fierce beast. Will we be feasting tonight, hehehe!"
"I heard that the Experiment Classes from other schools have also entered the Mystic Realm one after another. Do you think we'll run into them tomorrow!"
Everyone had too many questions.
Unfortunately, no one would answer.
And what they couldn't imagine was that Old Ge, who was chatting and laughing over there, and that Lao Zhao, whom they met for the first time but felt very approachable, let's call him that for now.
Suddenly stopped talking.
The one called Lao Zhao, with a smile on his face, walked straight towards the group.
"Hello, children!"
"For the next two days, I will lead you to get a preliminary understanding of the Mystic Realm. Today, right now, we will have our first lesson: combat with fierce beasts!"
Hearing this,
everyone somewhat doubted their ears.
Now?
Combat with fierce beasts?
Huh?
Just arrived at the Mystic Realm, couldn't even tell directions, and now they had to fight?
Although Lao Zhao was smiling, he didn't seem like someone who would explain things to them, and his smile now, upon closer inspection, didn't seem like a good smile either.
And so, and so.
The bewildered students, saying they were heading there wasn't quite accurate, it was more like they were being herded to the boundary between a lake and a forest.
Then they heard Lao Zhao say:
"In about ten minutes, a group of first-grade fierce beasts, Black Horned Horses, the ones you learned about in your textbooks, you know? They will pass by here. Your task is to rush up and fight them. Simple, right?"
"Simple... right?"
Simple my foot.
The students in the Experimental Class weren't fools. "Teacher, how large is the Black Horned Horse herd? Has the leader reached the second tier in strength? Will there be other creatures interfering nearby?"
Clearly,
this was a top student who had thoroughly studied the books, but Lao Zhao was clearly not a good Teacher.
"I don't know!"
He answered so self-righteously, and when he finished speaking, his ear twitched slightly, and then he said very calmly:
"Congratulations, children!"
"The Black Horned Horse herd has arrived early!"
"You don't need to waste ten minutes waiting, prepare to meet the enemy now!!"
"???"
Everyone had a phrase they wanted to say, not knowing if they should say it or not, and what was running over wasn't Black Horned Horses at all, it was the 'grass mud horses' in their hearts.
