56: The aliens are coming

After Shen Yi took the treasure bead of special power, he no longer paid attention to those geniuses, not knowing what they had been beaten into.

Lin Hong and the others acted like rats every day, hiding everywhere.

They had no choice but to hide; they weren't the ones who took the treasure bead of special power, and they had explained it many times.

But every time they were about to explain, they were met with countless Abilities, and even rocks.

No matter how they explained, no one believed them, and in the end, they had no choice but to hide.

The students in the secret realm no longer hunted fierce beasts; they began searching for the few of them in the secret realm.

Just as things had calmed down, suddenly one day, a student with a bruised and swollen face appeared before everyone.

He claimed that the treasure bead of special power was taken by them, that he had seen it with his own eyes; the five of them were holding the treasure bead of special power, hiding in a certain location, studying it, and waiting until they had learned it to come and deal with them.

He said they claimed this was a god-tier Ability Technique, and learning it could directly raise one to S-Class Talent, while those already S-Class could be promoted to SS-Class.

As a result, he was discovered by them, caught, and severely beaten, and they even threatened and enticed him with money not to reveal this matter, otherwise they would kill his whole family.

That day, he almost met his great-grandmother, and he even swore on his great-grandmother that everything he said was true.

He spoke with such tears and sorrow that even Dou E would have to call him 'Big Brother'.

At this, the emotions of the people in the secret realm were ignited once more, and they shouted loudly, demanding justice for him, proclaiming that the Ability Technique belonged to everyone and could not be monopolized.

Now, Lin Hong and the others were like bosses in a game; everyone wanted to get the first kill.

"Hahaha~ You're too devious, Shen Yi, but I like it," Su Lanqing laughed loudly, looking at Huang Ren, whose face was bruised and swollen.

"How did you come up with this? This makeup is comparable to plastic surgery!" Xie Pengyu circled Huang Ren, not recognizing him at all.

Shen Yi waved his hand and said, "Basic operation, nothing special."

"Next, we'll also go out and find them, join the boss-hunting army, and occasionally show our faces when there are many people."

This was simply taking all the bamboo shoots from the mountain.

Aside from occasionally going out to show his face and complete capture missions, Shen Yi was researching the Ability Technique that the system had previously rewarded him with.

Just as everyone was immersed in the race for the first kill, a group of foreign races quietly approached.

In just one night, many students had already been captured by them.

On this day, as Shen Yi and the others were normally checking in and showing their faces, a student ran out from a nearby forest.

He was covered in wounds, with a particularly large gash on his arm, so deep that his bones were faintly visible.

The student stumbled to the front of the crowd and said, "Foreign... race..."

Before he could finish, he fainted.

Upon hearing 'foreign race', everyone became alert. How could there be foreign races here?

Shen Yi and the others lifted the student and returned to their dwelling, giving him a simple first aid for his wounds.

After a long while, the person gradually woke up.

"What happened?" Shen Yi asked anxiously when he saw the person wake up.

"Foreign races, many foreign race individuals are capturing our students, asking for the whereabouts of the treasure bead of special power," the person said weakly.

"They are all very powerful; we had no strength to resist at all."

"A few classmates and I fought desperately, and I was lucky enough to escape."

"You all quickly find a way to inform the instructors outside. These foreign races, for the students they capture who can't answer, even if they aren't beaten to death, they might be crippled for life."

The student's face showed terror as he thought of the foreign races' cruelty.

Hearing the student's words, everyone's expressions darkened. This was the first time they had heard of the foreign races' cruelty.

"We should gather everyone as quickly as possible. Don't go out alone, lest they defeat us one by one," Shen Yi said after a long period of contemplation.

"I'll go contact the other students and have them all gather here," Su Lanqing volunteered.

"I'll go too," Huang Ren followed.

"Leave two people to look after him. The rest, try your best to notify. If you encounter foreign races, run as fast as you can; don't fall into their hands."

After Shen Yi gave his instructions, he also walked outside.

"Human, you had best honestly confess who has the treasure bead of special power, otherwise you will experience what it means to wish for death," a foreign race individual said fiercely, grabbing a student.

"Karl, why are you wasting words with him? As long as we kill all the humans in the entire secret realm, the treasure bead of special power will naturally be found," another foreign race individual said.

"Before coming, the King had instructed that if possible, we should try not to slaughter humans, as this would provoke a war between the two races," the one named Karl said slowly.

"What's there to be afraid of? Our ancestors treated humans as food," this foreign race individual said disdainfully, not showing any regard for humans.

With a 'swish', the student's face still held an expression of terror as his head fell to the ground.

"Hiro! You!" Karl hadn't expected Hiro to act so quickly.

"Let's go, continue to catch the next one." He waved his hand indifferently regarding what had just happened.

Not long after they left, Shen Yi arrived at the location and saw his classmate lying on the ground, decapitated. His face stiffened, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

Similar scenes were playing out in various parts of the secret realm.

These foreign races could even command fierce beasts to attack students. The originally scattered fierce beasts, for some unknown summons, were frantically converging towards the center of the secret realm.

Most of the students converged towards where Shen Yi was staying. More and more students gathered there.

Even Lin Hong and the others arrived here.

"Let's head towards the entrance of the trial. There will be instructors there to meet us, and we'll be saved," someone suggested.

"Let's do that. Everyone stay together and don't run off alone. That way, we can look out for each other."

Shen Yi also followed the group towards the exit of the trial.

Everyone was very silent. Witnessing their classmates being killed by the foreign races was an immense blow to them.

As everyone was on their way, they heard a rumbling sound behind them, and the ground was shaking.

Looking back, a large number of fierce beasts were rushing towards them.

"Everyone, run!" Someone shouted.

Upon hearing this, the students in the back desperately ran forward, while those in front who couldn't move were pushed down.

Facing the dense swarm of fierce beasts, they had no will to resist, only caring about escaping for their lives.

And behind the fierce beasts, a group of foreign race individuals watched the fleeing humans with amusement.
