189: Enter the Secret Realm

Yang Yi and the others exchanged glances.

They were not in a hurry.

They waited until most people had entered.

Only then did they go in.

Before their eyes stretched an endless, lush green grassland.

The sky was clear for thousands of miles.

It was similar to the outside world.

Only the environment was different.

The Tian Yuan Secret Realm contained numerous illusions.

Or rather, it was composed of many Small Worlds.

The environment within each Small World was unique.

The environment Yang Yi and his group found themselves in was quite pleasant.

Birds sang and flowers bloomed.

It made people feel very comfortable.

It seemed to hold no danger.

Star Moon Elder, who had previously visited the Tian Yuan Secret Realm, reminded everyone,

“Everyone, be careful.”

“Don’t let this beautiful and peaceful scenery deceive you.”

“Crises lurk everywhere.”

Some people had been here before.

Some had not.

For example, Yang Yi.

Yang Yi surveyed his surroundings.

He didn’t feel there was any danger.

He happened to be standing beside Star Moon Elder.

He then said with a smile,

“There shouldn’t be any danger right now, should there?”

“As long as we don’t encounter people.”

As for other dangers,

“We are the safest.”

Only their own kind were the greatest enemies.

Yang Yi completely disregarded this.

Star Moon Elder shook his head.

A hint of helplessness appeared in his expression.

“I understand what you mean.”

“But don’t underestimate the dangers here either.”

Just as he was speaking,

a scream suddenly came from afar.

Everyone was startled.

They followed the sound.

Before long,

they arrived at the place where the scream had just come from.

A corpse lay there.

The corpse was already riddled with holes.

There were countless wounds on its body.

They looked like knife cuts.

But they didn’t quite look like it.

Because if they were knife cuts,

the wounds on the body should have been largely consistent.

However, the wounds on this person’s body appeared very strange.

Every single wound was different.

It wasn’t that the depth was different.

Rather, the cuts themselves were not uniform.

Some looked like scratches.

Some looked like they had been pierced through.

Moreover, the wounds were all extremely small.

Just as everyone was stunned,

Star Moon Elder reminded everyone,

“Be careful.”

“There’s danger ahead.”

Naturally, no one dared to step forward.

But they were also very curious.

Because as far as they knew,

the Tian Yuan Secret Realm was full of treasures, and the more dangerous the place,

the more treasures it contained.

The danger before them now also represented an opportunity.

It was impossible to simply bypass it.

Besides,

they also needed to move forward.

They couldn’t stop just because of this small danger.

“So, are we still going?”

A Disciple asked.

Star Moon Elder frowned slightly.

He looked at Yang Yi and said, “Yang Yi.”

“You go ahead and scout the way first.”

Yang Yi rolled his eyes.

He had said he didn’t want to come in the first place.

Coming here never led to anything good.

Sure enough,

with so many people, they insisted on him scouting the way.

Even if he was strong,

they shouldn’t just think of him.

The other Disciples looked at Yang Yi with anticipation.

Yang Yi had no choice.

Just as he was about to go explore alone,

Yue Lingxin, who was beside him, grabbed him.

“I’ll go with you.”

Star Moon Elder did not object.

Yang Yi and Yue Lingxin came before the corpse.

Just as they were about to bend down to check on the corpse’s condition,

a tiny, needle-like object suddenly shot towards Yang Yi’s back.

Yang Yi was startled.

He quickly pulled Yue Lingxin and moved to the right.

A cold glint flashed before their eyes.

After they dodged,

that cold glint transformed into a wisp of green smoke in the air.

It vanished without a trace.

“What was that?”

Yang Yi looked in the direction from which the light had shot.

He found nothing.

Just lush green grass.

“Strange.”

Yang Yi pondered in his heart.

Star Moon Elder shouted from not far away, “Be careful of those grasses.”

Yang Yi trembled slightly.

He looked at the grass beneath his feet.

The grass was no different from what he had seen before.

It was green.

It grew very lushly.

It possessed vitality. Suddenly,

Yue Lingxin tugged at Yang Yi.

Pointing to her feet, she said,

“Look.”

Yang Yi followed the direction of her finger.

He saw Yue Lingxin stepping on a blade of grass.

This blade of grass was somewhat special compared to the others.

The color was consistent.

But this blade of grass had many tiny hairs growing on it.

If one didn’t look carefully, it was impossible to notice.

Just as Yang Yi was in a daze,

that small blade of grass suddenly trembled.

Then, a dozen cold glints shot directly towards Yang Yi and Yue Lingxin.

They shot directly towards Yang Yi and Yue Lingxin.

Both of them were startled.

They quickly dodged.

Just as they dodged the attack from this small blade of grass,

many other small blades of grass around them began to sway.

As they swayed,

the tiny needles on the grass blades were like rays of light.

They shot from all directions.

Fortunately, the attack range of these small thorns was not very far.

It was only five or six meters.

But their attack power was astonishing.

The two of them dodged left and right.

They finally managed to avoid the first wave of attacks.

At this moment,

everyone also understood why that person had died.

But why did he come alone?

Yang Yi was lost in thought,

while a sword condensed in his hand.

He swept the sword forward.

The surrounding grass, along with the soil, was swept up.

After a cloud of dust,

with Yang Yi at the center,

an area of one hundred meters had been shaved off by his sword.

As for the grass,

it had vanished without a trace.

Yang Yi stood in place and waited for a while.

Seeing that the grass in the distance showed no movement,

he waved his hand.

He motioned for Star Moon Elder and the others to come over.

Everyone carefully approached.

Star Moon Elder and the others praised Yang Yi without reservation.

Yang Yi pouted.

He didn’t say anything.

He thought to himself:

If you really think highly of me,

then next time there’s trouble, don’t actively make me act.

You should also help me solve some difficulties.

Although Yang Yi had created a hundred-meter safe zone,

they still had to continue moving forward.

They couldn’t possibly hack with a sword every hundred meters they walked.

That would be too troublesome.

Moreover,

Yang Yi’s energy would also be depleted.

The distance stretched endlessly into the horizon.

Who knew how far they had to walk in this place?

They had to find a method.

Because the grass’s attack range was relatively short,

everyone prepared to fly through the air.

However, there was also danger in the sky.

This was what Star Moon Elder had said.

What specific dangers there were, everyone did not yet know.

Subsequently,

everyone flew through the air.

They had a safe journey.

Everyone flew away from this grassland and stopped.

When they landed,

each person had some beads of sweat on their forehead.

The same was true for Yang Yi.

The flight just now had exhausted him.

Although nothing attacked them,

they didn’t know why.

In this world,

once a person flew,

their internal energy would be consumed rapidly.

It was several times faster than usual.

Yang Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said,

“It seems we can’t fly anymore.”

“Flying like this won’t do.”

“If someone ambushes us,”

“we won’t have any power to resist.”

Everyone nodded.

With this lesson,

everyone stopped flying.

Instead, they walked slowly.

And also recovered some stamina.

As they walked,

everyone noticed figures moving in the distance.
