"Think again," Yuan Jiewen said. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
The man pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "I remember now, I was there battling a few Pet Beasts, using Poisonous Flower, and its venom might have sprayed into that creek."
He paused and continued, "I always thought it was because of those Pet Beasts that I was being targeted for revenge..."
Suddenly, there was a quietness around.
The group fell silent, finding it hard to accept that such a simple matter led them into such a dire situation.
Suddenly, one of them spoke up:
"Every Secret Realm has untouchable rules. The last time I entered Secret Realm No. 108, you couldn’t laugh there, or wild beasts would swarm out and attack. It was really bizarre."
"But there’s never been a mention that you can’t relieve yourself in this Secret Realm, destroying the water source," Liu Bo said.
"That’s because not every wild Pet Beast in this realm follows the same rule, or it might only apply to a certain area," someone next to him said. "Or perhaps the wild Pet Beast that set the rule isn’t strong enough to capture everyone who breaks it."
In the Secret Realm, disappearances are common.
As long as the number of disappeared people isn’t too high, no one pays special attention, ventures in to explore, or searches for the cause of the disappearances, and thus they remain unaware of the untouchable rules.
"Do you remember where we regained consciousness?" said the middle-aged man, who was the only one not treated and still lucid.
"I remember," the person next to him nodded.
"That place is called the Guardian River," the middle-aged man said. "Many Secret Realms have a place called Guardian River, supposedly the source of all water in the realm, usually guarded by the most powerful Water-type Pet Beast."
"At first, the Guardian River was so polluted, estimating it was caused by people entering the Secret Realm, so they took us for water transformation."
The others heard this and twitched their mouths, some even inwardly cursing.
The Guardian River being so filthy, how is that their business?
All they did was relieve themselves, take a bath, dip their feet.
But with the wild Pet Beasts escorting them nearby, they refrained from voicing their profanities.
So it’s the source of the realm’s water. No wonder the location is so concealed... Qiao Sang silently listened to the conversation behind without turning back.
With an escort of wild Pet Beasts, the group reached the Secret Realm’s exit with almost unobstructed access.
Exit was also the entry.
The Poison Fang Rush they encountered earlier observed quietly from the shadows, without making a move.
The escorting wild Pet Beasts each let out a call.
"Thank you for your hard work." Qiao Sang dismounted from Yaobao, seeing them looking at her, she expressed her gratitude.
The escorting wild Pet Beasts continued staring.
Qiao Sang felt something was off.
