Several people headed toward the secret realm location provided by the official account.
Along the way, the male student began introducing himself:
"Haha, beautiful, you're really lucky today to run into us!"
"Otherwise, other teams lacking combat power would never let you join just to slack off."
He cleared his throat lightly, "My name is Su Hang, and this beside me is Su Yun, sort of my cousin. We're both students at Chongyang Spirit Tamer Academy, currently in our third year of high school!"
Out of politeness, Mo Shiyu also gave her name, "Chuanbei Spirit Tamer Academy, Mo Shiyu, first year of high school."
She truly hadn't expected these two wouldn't mind her bringing Xia Yuan, a level 38 contracted spirit, and had let them join the team without any explanation needed.
Su Hang showed a moment of slight surprise, "Huh? For some reason, I feel like I've heard your name somewhere before, but I can't recall..."
Su Yun rolled her eyes nearby and muttered, "Such a cliché pickup line, just ignore him, Classmate Mo."
She secretly glanced at Xia Yuan a few times, envy showing in her eyes, "Classmate Mo's contracted spirit is human? That's great, I've always wanted a human contracted spirit too..."
Su Hang exclaimed beside her:
"Hey hey, Su Yun, your contracted spirit is A-tier, and a really powerful one at that, with combat power almost approaching SR level, and you're still envious of others?"
Su Yun snorted coldly, "What do you know."
She just wanted a companion she could be with day and night.
But her contracted spirit, while strong, was simply too large in size!
Apart from being able to summon it during battles, it wasn't suitable to appear at other times at all...
Xia Yuan placed his hands behind his head and lazily asked:
"I'm level 38, and you just let us join the team? Aren't you really worried about insufficient combat power?"
The Lion Contracted Spirit crossed its arms, replying with full confidence:
"Not worried, because... I'm strong!"
"And Su Yun's A-tier contracted spirit is even stronger!"
Xia Yuan: "Pfft!"
The Lion Contracted Spirit pointed at him angrily, "Hey, you're definitely laughing at me again, aren't you! Keep laughing and I won't take you dungeon crawling anymore!"
Xia Yuan put on a pleading expression, pitching his voice exaggeratedly:
"Ah... Great Lion, don't abandon us, please take us with you!"
The Lion snorted coldly, nodding with satisfaction, "That's more like it. Since you're here to slack off, you should act like slackers."
Su Hang looked speechless and couldn't help reminding, "Blade God, he's clearly still mocking you, can't you tell..."
Xia Yuan: "Blade God... so that's your name, pfft haha...!"
Lion: "Hey!"
Su Yun stopped walking, interrupting their conversation:
"We're here."
The teleportation gate to the four-star secret realm was already right before their eyes.
In front of the gate stood an official staff member.
Only after Su Yun showed him her phone did he signal that everyone could enter to clear the dungeon, also advising:
"Each spirit tamer opening a room for scheduled team play can clear dungeons up to three times consecutively per day,"
"The four-star secret realm contains elite monsters above level 60, with the BOSS at level 80. There's a chance of second-phase monsters appearing, and an extremely small chance of level 90 red-name BOSSes appearing."
"Please act according to your capabilities!"
"If you encounter an unbeatable situation, don't push yourselves, immediately escape using teleport crystals!"
"If any accidents occur to you in the secret realm, our Chongyang City Monster Dungeons Service Area assumes no legal responsibility..."
Su Yun took the lead, stepping into the secret realm teleportation gate first.
The others followed.
The surroundings transformed.
They entered a deep, ancient forest where the plants around them emitted an eerie blue glow.
In the distance stood a massive, darkly glowing giant tree!
Mysterious glowing inscriptions floated and coiled around the various winding, twisting tree trunks, indescribably sacred.
Beneath the tree was a wide, flat ancient altar ruin, carved with many peculiar texts and murals.
"This is... the Inscription Divine Tree!"
"Contracted Spirit inscriptions are created by it!"
This was Mo Shiyu's first time entering a secret realm, and she couldn't help exclaiming in awe.
Hearing this, Su Hang said with an embarrassed expression:
"So you really are first-timers in monster dungeons..."
"Coming to challenge a four-star on your first try, you've got some guts!"
Su Yun took a deep breath, "Get ready..."
Suddenly.
A massive shadow materialized beside her!
A titan beast clad in armor, carrying dual axes and a giant cannon on its shoulders, emerged from space!
It was enormous, with a nearly 5-meter-tall body like a giant.
Standing at its feet, Su Yun appeared particularly small.
A-tier!
Level 78!
Armored Titan Beast!
Seeing the giant titan before her, Mo Shiyu finally understood why Su Yun had said those things...
This kind of titan beast was definitely powerful, but it really wasn't suitable for day-and-night companionship...
Its size was too large, and its appearance was quite frightening. It could only stay in the contracted spirit space for convenience in daily life.
Mo Shiyu glanced a few times at Xia Yuan beside her, suddenly finding him much more pleasing to the eye.
Although he was always unserious, sloppy-mouthed, particularly fond of being annoying, reeked of scumbag energy, and rode roughshod over her...
Compared to a titan beast, these personality flaws were completely insignificant!
Xia Yuan keenly noticed her gaze, "Fatty Yu... were you just insulting me?"
Mo Shiyu blinked her beautiful eyes, "Huh? How did you know!"
Xia Yuan: "......"
"Let's go."
"Let's see what variety the BOSS of this secret realm is."
Su Yun led the way toward the ancient altar ruins, and the titan beast beside her moved as well, each step causing the ground to tremble.
Everyone followed along.
The moment they stepped onto the ancient altar ruins, the secret realm BOSS finally appeared!
Buzz buzz buzz...
The air barrier around the ancient altar activated.
In the center, three profound gates materialized!
From the left gate emerged a skeletal monster holding a long spear, clad in blood-red black armor, slowly speaking:
"This body may decay, but this spear remains!"
[Level 70, Bone-Corroding Spear Guardian, elite monster!]
From the right gate stepped out a skeletal monster holding a giant shield, dressed in sacred white armor.
It slammed its giant shield into the ground, roaring:
"Those who cross this shield shall only see the Yellow Springs!"
[Level 70, Ten-Thousand-Bones Unbreakable Iron Shield, elite monster!]
From the middle gate emerged a corpse-dissolving monarch wearing a cloak and crown.
Bathed entirely in eerie blue flames, with red light flickering in its skull's pupils, it raised the long sword in its hand and shouted:
"The Yellow Springs remain, the Death God is eternal!"
[Level 80, Yellow Springs Monarch, BOSS!]
This entrance was quite impressive.
Full of presence!
It left Xia Yuan and the others utterly stunned.
With just a glance from Su Yun, the titan beast beside her moved, striding forward as the ground continuously trembled.
The three skeletal monsters seemed like raw recruits before its size.
Xia Yuan couldn't help commenting:
"This titan beast looks more like a BOSS than the actual secret realm BOSS!"
Blade God stepped forward, shoulder-bumping Xia Yuan aside, grinning widely as he declared domineeringly:
"Step aside, human contracted spirit, we'll take the front lines, don't steal our experience."
"You just stay behind and cheer us on!"
Huh?
There's such a good deal?
Xia Yuan raised an eyebrow, retreated behind them, cupped his hands like a megaphone, and started cheering them on:
"Cowboy lion, so handsome, go get 'em, chop it up with your blade!"
"Titan beast, so huge, you go get 'em too, just crush it with Mount Tai pressure!"
He was perfectly happy to take it easy.
If he could obtain inscriptions without lifting a finger, why not go for it?
He could save his spiritual energy for clearing other dungeons too.
In their eyes, a level 38 Xia Yuan really didn't count as combat power, just filling a slot.
One more person meant one more inscription reward.
That way, there was also one more chance to get the desired inscription type.
