After listening to Jiang Yuenu's account of her experiences in the secret realm, Lu Jing and Huang Prison went to meet Kui and Wu Mu.
Their stories were similar to Jiang Yuenu's. They both went relatively smoothly in the early stages of entering the secret realm, but they were attacked not long after setting up the formation.
However, Aoi and his team had slightly better luck. They did not encounter the turbulent flow of secret power, but they did run into four secret realm guards.
The secret realm guardian is the name given by practitioners to a monster that looks like a bear but not a bear, and looks like a tiger but not a tiger that appears in the secret realm, because this kind of monster just wanders around slowly and aimlessly in the secret realm most of the time. There is no hostility towards other monsters in the secret realm. However, once a living creature appears in the secret realm, the secret realm guards will immediately show aggression.
It seems as if it was born to guard the secret realm.
Secret realm guards are something that all secret realm explorers do not want to encounter. They are very difficult to deal with. Unlike secret realm golems, only secret power attacks can have an effect on them.
However, the spell damage they can withstand is astonishing. To kill a secret realm guard, at least two Third Palace monks need to join forces, and during this period, the secret realm guard will also attract other monsters in the secret realm.
Aoi and Ebony's team paid a huge price to deal with the four secret realm guards. .
In the end, the two of them escaped from the secret realm with the help of a strange object on Wu Mu's body.
"You said those monsters suddenly appeared in front of you after you set up the formation?" Huang Supervisor asked.
"That's right." Wu Mu nodded. He had been treated for injuries by those weasels not long ago, and now his waist was still wrapped in a thick layer of fine cloth.
But I have regained some energy after the break.
As for Kui, she closed her eyes and rested. In addition to several injuries on her back and legs, the most important thing was that the secret power in her upper Dantian was somewhat overdrawn, and she had hurt her soul by using a secret technique before.
Fortunately, none of these injuries were fatal or permanent.
"I heard that two people escaped from other secret realms," Wu Mu then asked, "Have you visited them in the Huang Prison?"
"That's where we came from," Lu Jing said, "Supervisor Jiang, Supervisor Li, and Young Supervisor Guo were the team. They were attacked after setting up the formation."
Ebony's expression changed, "So it's not a coincidence that those monsters will show up at that time. Could it be that they know what we want to do?"
"This is impossible." Aoi opened her eyes and said, "The monsters in the secret realm only have fighting instincts and no intelligence. This has been confirmed by practitioners who have gone deep into the secret realm thousands of years ago."
"But at that time, the thing inside hadn't found a way to escape." Ebony looked serious.
At this time, Huang Jianyuan spoke again, "How much time do we have?"
"Um?"
"You have penetrated deep into the center of the secret realm and opened a hole in its cage, but you have not had time to arrange follow-up countermeasures as planned. According to your estimation, how long will it take for the things inside to be destroyed? Out."
Huang Supervisor finally asked the most critical question.
Wu Mu thought for a while and gave a shocking answer, "About half a year..."
"Three months." Kui had a different opinion, "And during these three months, the secret power concentration will not stop declining as we had expected, or even return to the previous level."
"Why, if that dragon wants to get out of trouble, shouldn't it try to regain its strength?" Huang Supervisor frowned.
"It actually has another option, which is to continue to suppress its own vitality until it is enough to escape from that small opening." Aoi said, "Actually, when we escaped from the secret realm, there was no need to revive the secret power. Signs, this is the best proof. And I just wanted to check out the agency’s observation records at the entrance to the secret realm in recent days.
"The secret power is indeed still decreasing, and the speed is faster than before. Soon, we will have to rely on the golden-scaled secret carp to cast spells."
Wu Mu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to refute Aoi's speculation, but in the end he could only sigh.
"Three months...at least we don't have to worry about those weird things anymore."
The always prim and serious Huang Supervisor rarely told a bad joke, but no one in the room could laugh out loud.
Wu Mu said, "I still don't understand why Guo Shaojian would harm everyone. If the world is really gone, what good will it do to him?"
"I have arranged for personnel to keep an eye on his whereabouts and movements." Huang Jianyuan said, "But based on his familiarity with Si Tianjian, if he doesn't want to be found by us, it will be difficult for us to see him in three months. "
After a pause, he said, "Okay, you have just experienced a narrow escape from the secret realm and finally escaped. Don't think so much for the time being. Let your injuries heal first, and then we will study how to deal with that dragon. "
Both Wu Mu and Aoi knew that Huang Jianyuan's last words were just to comfort them.
Because no one in this world has ever seen that dragon, naturally no one knows how to slay a dragon.
Moreover, the dragon was cut into twelve parts and survived. The vitality emanating from its body penetrated from the secret realm into the human world, allowing practitioners in the human world to practice. Who in the world can do such a terrifying existence? Can you kill it?
But neither of them said anything else.
They know that Huang Jianyuan has tried his best and suddenly took over the current mess from the hands of the previous young supervisor.
It was not easy for him to temporarily stabilize the situation without causing Si Tianjian to collapse immediately. It was also unrealistic to force him to come up with a way to deal with the dragon right now.
Seeing that both of them had no other problems, Huang Jianyuan turned around and left. He had just taken over Si Tianjian, and now he had a lot of affairs waiting for him to deal with. He was the busiest person, and he didn't even have time to eat.
Lu Jing, however, did not follow him. He walked up to Kui and wanted to see if there was anything he could do to help with Kui's injuries, but the latter declined.
However, at this time, Wu Mu on the other side said, "Inspector Lu, I have something to inquire about."
"Wu Supervisor, please tell me what's going on. Whatever I know, I will definitely not hide it." Lu Jing said.
"I heard that you also signed up for this trip to the secret realm. With your ability, you should have been easily selected. Why did you withdraw in the end?"
"Oh, I didn't quit on my own. It was Shaojian Guo who removed me from the list at the last moment." Lu Jing said truthfully.
"Why? Do you have a good relationship with him?" Wu Mu wondered.
"Well, that's not really true...Compared to other disciples in the academy, I have seen him more often, but we can't say we have any friendship," Lu Jingdao, "We basically talk every time we meet. It’s all business.”
"That's strange. Why doesn't he let you go to the secret realm?"
