70: They all escaped?

At this moment, all the Secret Realms were being subjected to a massacre.

Of course, there was one exception, and that was Lu Chen's location.

It had to be said that Lu Chen was a massive bug in the system.

Because of Lu Chen, those Demonic Beasts actually didn't dare to act rashly, even though Lu Chen's Rank Aura couldn't affect this group of Demonic Beasts as it did those in the outer regions.

However, it was worth mentioning that while he couldn't intimidate these already Tier 5 and Tier 6 Demonic Beasts, an Aura comparable to a Skeleton King—or at the very least a Skeleton General—was still present, making the Demonic Beasts feel a pressure that kept them from moving recklessly.

And this wave of pressure happened to save the young girl Ning Xiwei.

Ning Xiwei had been extremely nervous at first, but after so much time had passed, nothing had happened.

At this time, Lu Chen directly used his Incarnation to grow massive, turning into a large skeleton like a small giant, standing and gazing at the surroundings.

Ning Xiwei also breathed a sigh of relief, leaning against Lu Chen's feet as if snuggling at the foot of a small mountain, taking a moment to rest.

She looked around boredly; even with a pack of wolves eyeing them from all sides, she wasn't worried in the slightest.

“Do you think they are actually afraid and running away?”

Ning Xiwei asked aloud.

“It looks that way. They are already very far away now. It seems they aren't just avoiding me because of my presence; it also looks like those trial-takers have all fled. Perhaps these Devouring Water Wolves are going after that group of trial-takers instead of looking for trouble with us.”

Lu Chen gazed at the dust in the distance.

He spoke thus.

Ning Xiwei sighed, “Then what should we do? In this situation, we can't just wait here, right?”

“No need. This place looks to be several thousand kilometers in size; if we want to run, we can still be very fast!” Lu Chen let out a silent laugh.

Several thousand kilometers in size?

When Ning Xiwei heard this, her forehead broke out in a cold sweat.

Only someone as capable as Little Skeleton could say such a thing.

Ning Xiwei looked up at the currently tall 'Ultraman.'

She couldn't help but swallow hard.

“Well, for a Little Skeleton like you, I suppose it really is just a few thousand kilometers. Kua Fu Chasing the Sun... he seemed to be a giant too...”

Soon, in the deep layer of the Secret Realm.

The Secret Realm fell into silence once more.

Ning Xiwei sized up her surroundings.

She observed some subtle changes; although the desert here looked no different from the deserts in the outside world, there were still some fine differences.

All she could see was endless yellow sand without a single trace of any other color—there weren't even any desert cacti. This was abnormal for a desert; even the so-called oases only had a pool of lake water but no green vegetation.

An oasis without green vegetation? How was that possible!

“It's hard to imagine that such a place can actually support so many living beings. These are all magical creatures; if any one of them went outside, it would be enough to cause a riot in a city!”

Ning Xiwei recalled everything here and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Rather than a forbidden zone, a place like this was more like a cage, where they lived and where all the creatures here were imprisoned.

No matter how Advanced a magical creature you were, you could only live here—an infinitely vast cage imprisoned by Law.

It was said to be infinitely vast, but it did have an end; at the very least, this sky was a place with an end, and the sun in the sky looked more like a simulation.

There must be an impassable barrier at the very top.

Blocking the creatures here from leaving.

And also preventing outside creatures from entering.

Lu Chen sensed the creatures around them and said, “To be precise, there are 13,800 of them, all Devouring Water Wolves. Below this place is a bottomless, vast ocean; they live down there and survive around a magic source.”

Ning Xiwei was somewhat shocked to hear this.

She hadn't expected her Little Skeleton to be able to sense even these details.

However, Ning Xiwei was also very curious—why could Little Skeleton sense things so clearly and in such detail?

Logically, Little Skeleton should be at a lower stage than her, the master.

She, the master, only had the strength of Tier 3.

Little Skeleton should only be Tier 2.

Lu Chen also fell silent; he had come here for a purpose, but the current situation was at a standstill, which wasn't good news—at least for his current self.

Leveling up was the most urgent matter.

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Chen spoke up, “We need to have a clear idea in our hearts. My idea is to know exactly how many enemies we have.”

“Little Skeleton, you are my backbone. Even at a time like this, you still have a plan in your head. Thank you!” A tender smile was hard to hide in Ning Xiwei's eyes. She trusted Little Skeleton more and more, to the point where it had almost reversed—she treated Little Skeleton as her 'master,' a 'person' who could make decisions for her, lead her, and take care of her.

Ning Xiwei just lay there by Lu Chen's feet, feeling an inexplicable sense of security.

It was as if Lu Chen was protecting her at all times.

While that was indeed the case, the psychological comfort it provided was very evident.

Girls sometimes really enjoy that kind of psychological comfort.

A gentle breeze blew past.

It blew through Ning Xiwei's hair, and the young girl's thoughts became somewhat complex.

The girl's watery eyes quietly stole a glance at the giant skeleton beside her head.

In that instant, all was quiet and beautiful.

The girl felt that if the world were to end like this, it would be quite nice to just stay with Little Skeleton—with nothing else and nothing happening.

Everything was so peaceful; she wouldn't even care about the passage of time or the changing of the world.

She only had a heart that wished for these quiet, beautiful years.

This was more important than anything else.

Whatever happened in the outside world had nothing to do with her and Little Skeleton.

Just staying like this was very good.

Living without any exhaustion, without any need for hard work or struggle.

She didn't even have much of an obsession with Cultivating well anymore.

No matter how the world looked at them.

Just staying with her Little Skeleton and ignoring everything else—that would be the best outcome.

Her entire body was in a very relaxed state.

If people from the outside could see this place right now,

They would surely be shocked beyond belief.

In other parts of the Secret Realm, and even here, the other trial-takers were already crying out in despair, caught between life and death. How could it be so peaceful and beautiful where you are?

Are we really all taking the trial in the same place?

This is truly haunting.

What on earth is going on with this world?

Everything is different!
