But you absolutely cannot relax your guard like you do in other secret realms. Remember, you must come back alive and safe!”
“You haven’t even finished teaching me the Breathing Method and Drawing Spirit!”
Before Mingxi entered Shadow Abyss, Chu Kuangsheng was more long-winded than her own father, constantly nagging her.
He was even more boisterous than Shirai Kuroko.
Mingxi almost swore an oath, begging the heavens for another five hundred years, promising to bring herself and Golden Yuanbao’s lives back safely, before Chu Kuangsheng finally agreed to let her enter.
It was clear he was genuinely worried.
Even when Mingxi ventured alone to Green Field Star, he wasn't this anxious.
This showed that Shadow Abyss was indeed extraordinary.
No wonder he stubbornly refused to tell her about Shadow Abyss back then.
Entering Shadow Abyss doesn't require a secret realm passage; although it remains isolated from the real world, preventing Transcendent creatures from escaping, it's not difficult for human Beast Tamers to enter.
As long as you have the ability to pass through the low basin area where hundreds of Saint-level Transcendent creatures are active!
Most of these Saint-level Transcendent creatures are not native species of the area but were specially placed there by high-level officials from various countries for Shadow Abyss.
Humans signed cooperation agreements with these Transcendent creatures: humans provide resources for their evolution and advancement, and they act as the second line of defense for the Shadow Abyss restricted zone on behalf of humans.
Of course, these agreements have a time limit, usually one hundred years.
Therefore, these Transcendent creatures in the low basin area are often rotated.
Because of Shadow Abyss, various countries invest billions of star coins and resources annually, which has prevented the secrets of Shadow Abyss from being exposed to the public and causing unnecessary panic.
Not only that, but to resolve the threat of Shadow Abyss, over the past three hundred years, countless Beast Tamers and researchers have been dispatched by various countries to explore the interior of Shadow Abyss, hoping to solve its continuous encroachment on Blue Star.
However, people and pet beasts have sacrificed themselves batch after batch, but a solution to the problem has not yet been found.
The core of Shadow Abyss, which is the Land of Birth and Death of the original Secret Realm No. 0, has never been found; it's as if it doesn't exist.
According to various data, Golden Yuanbao's hometown is most likely Shadow Abyss.
“Are you ready?” Mingxi looked at the seven beside her—Gold, Silver, and Blue, Bright Crystal, Emerald Green, and Black and White—as part of their routine mobilization.
War intent blazed in the eyes of all seven.
There was a perverted sense that the more difficult the path ahead and the greater the challenge, the more excited and thrilled they became.
Their fearless aura was comparable to Lu Bu acknowledging a father!
They were currently standing in the innermost part of the low basin area, with the Boundary River, Reverse Cold, the last line of defense outside Shadow Abyss, just a hundred meters away, completely isolating Shadow Abyss from the surrounding land.
This river was built solely by their Dragonflower Country, with a total length of 4326 kilometers, an average width of 144 kilometers, a total cost exceeding three hundred billion star coins, and a total construction time of twenty-two years.
This river blocked off wave after wave of Beast Tamers seeking death.
It prevented them from easily overstepping the bounds.
Most importantly, two of the Dragonflower Country's former National Pillars' pet beasts, the Water-type Venerable-level Transcendent creature Water Lotus and the Ice-type Venerable-level Transcendent creature Cold Night Frost, were sleeping in this river.
After their former National Pillar sacrificed himself, they voluntarily became the guardian beasts of Reverse Cold, staying there for nearly three hundred years.
“Depart!”
Mingxi leaped onto Lan Yue Bright’s back. Golden Yuanbao and the other six, who wished to shrink, shrank, and those who didn't, displayed their respective divine abilities, squeezing onto the fluffy tail throne like a girl’s winter quilt.
Waving farewell once again to Chu Kuangsheng and his pet beasts in the distance, Lan Yue Bright stepped onto the only bridge over Reverse Cold.
Mo Wangui.
This was both the name of the bridge and the name of that former Dragonflower Country prodigy, who silently guarded Dragonflower Country for centuries and ultimately fell in Shadow Abyss, the ‘Spine of the Nation’.
Abbreviated as Mo Bridge.
But more people privately called it the Devil’s Bridge.
The moment they stepped onto Mo Bridge, the originally clear river surface suddenly boiled, and countless black crystal chains shot out from the river, emitting a grating, teeth-aching sound.
The bridge body also changed from its original dark white texture to a dark gold, as if solidified lava was slowly awakening and beginning to flow.
“Boom—”
A wave of scorching heat assailed them.
Mingxi felt her eyebrows singe.
At this moment, Lan Yue Bright took a step forward, and an overwhelmingly domineering icy aura spread out, instantly suppressing the surging heat wave.
It continued forward.
An extreme chill swept over...
Goodness!
This was truly going from a fire pit straight into an ice cave; if their bodies were a little more fragile, they would have become shattered porcelain.
But it wasn't over yet.
Every step Lan Yue Bright took, an exceptionally powerful attack struck them, and it kept getting stronger.
Mingxi analyzed it roughly.
The first wave of fire was probably just a high-level skill of a King-level Transcendent creature, but after ten steps, the attack intensity was already a ground-level skill of an Emperor-level Transcendent creature.
With this intensity increase, Mingxi couldn't even imagine what great terror the later stages would hold.
“Lan Yue Bright, can you still hold on?”
Lan Yue Bright had been blocking all «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» the attacks so far; none of the six, including Golden Yuanbao, had made a move.
“Ling.”
No problem.
Lan Yue Bright’s tone was certain, without any hesitation.
“Don’t push yourself too hard. Remember, our plan is to conserve energy as much as possible and maintain the best condition, so it’s best if we take turns.”
“Ling.”
Understood.
Lan Yue Bright also understood Mingxi’s plan. It was very rational and not one to compete fiercely, so when its energy level dropped to half, it voluntarily gave up the defensive position.
Red Jade took its place.
Red Jade held on for another ten steps, then Emerald Green took over.
After that was Bright Crystal, Mingxi with Qianshan Path, and Golden Yuanbao.
Then the rotation began again.
Little Silver Flower and Black Pearl were not assigned to defense; the former needed to ensure sufficient energy and maintain sunbathing to be able to heal others at any time, while the latter served as support, ready to assist everyone at any moment.
“Boom—”
A world-destroying ‘airstrike’ descended, charring Mingxi and the seven beasts outside and tenderizing them inside. The air was filled with the scent of roasted meat.
The smell of roasted fish, roasted cat, roasted bird...
“Gurgle.”
Seven charcoal-black faces turned in unison to look at Bright Crystal.
Goodness, you’re really hungry! freeweɓnøvel.com
“Zhen Gua! Zhen Gua?”
What are you looking at! I didn’t eat enough when I left this morning, so can’t I be hungry?
Bright Crystal was a little embarrassed for the first time; its stomach growled as it smelled the air.
Annoying.
Mingxi stuffed a piece of secret recipe dried fish into its mouth.
Knowing it got hungry quickly, Mingxi had stored many custom-made snacks in her spatial tool and Time Realm.
Secret recipe dried fish was a snack all seven loved.
“Hoo—”
After feeding the growling Bright Crystal, Mingxi finally exhaled a puff of smoky turbid air and raised a hand to wipe her sooty face.
“Refreshing!”
