Chapter 113: A Different Kind of Secret Realm
Zeng Ningdie sat powerlessly on the ground. She had only been in the Secret Realm for five days, and judging by when she was drugged, the Beast Luring Agent would take at least a month to metabolize.
“Xiao Die, there is actually a method. It depends on whether you are willing or not?”
“Really!”
Zeng Ningdie looked up, her eyes shining with astonishing light. No one wanted to die.
With hope, she naturally didn’t want to give up.
“Bloodletting. I have some blood replenishment here, but it will still be somewhat dangerous. The medicinal effect is mainly in your blood. Only by releasing enough blood can you metabolize those drugs.”
Zeng Ningdie picked up the knife without hesitation and cut her own hand. Blood gushed out.
The Hell Ghost Vine flew up directly, greedily sucking the blood on the ground.
It was better to let it benefit than to waste it.
This blood was truly fragrant. It wasn’t greedy and was content to just drink the blood flowing on the ground.
At this moment, Lin Song quickly took the pill from Song Tiantian’s hand, opened the bottle cap, and stuffed it into Zeng Ningdie’s mouth.
“Miss, eat quickly.”
Although modern times no longer have slavery.
However, their family had worked for the Zeng family for generations. A fresh university graduate could earn at most three thousand a month, without social security, with constant overtime, and holding multiple positions. Not only did they have to work for the boss every day, do chores, and housework, but they also had to tutor the boss’s son. Even with such a job, many students from key undergraduate programs competed for it.
But working for the Zeng family required no overtime and offered good benefits and treatment, with a minimum starting salary of ten thousand a month.
Someone like him, who had attended university and possessed a skill, started at one hundred thousand a month. Now that he had become a Beast Tamer, his income was even higher.
Therefore, he had long been accustomed to calling Zeng Ningdie “Miss.”
Working elsewhere and working here were the same; it was all just going to work.
Moreover, Zeng Ningdie treated him extremely well, and he had grown accustomed to working here and this kind of job.
He also genuinely cared about Zeng Ningdie.
Zeng Ningdie swallowed the pills in large gulps. Although the medicine was a bit bitter, after taking Cold Fragrance Number Two, she no longer found any other medicine unpalatable.
Her complexion grew paler and paler. As the blood flowing from the wound on her wrist lessened.
She prepared to cut herself again.
Song Tiantian stopped her.
“If you cut yourself again and the bleeding doesn’t stop, you could lose your life. I can try to have my Pet Beast see if it can absorb the medicine from your body.”
“Thank you for your trouble.”
Song Tiantian commanded the Hell Ghost Vine to entwine Zeng Ningdie’s wrist.
Song Tiantian could clearly sense that the Hell Ghost Vine’s Strength was indeed increasing.
However, Dr. Bai’s book clearly stated that the potion would cause Fierce Beasts to hallucinate, making them mistakenly believe they had become stronger when they actually hadn’t.
Just as the Hell Ghost Vine was losing control and about to forcefully drain Zeng Ningdie’s blood, Song Tiantian forcefully interrupted and sent the Hell Ghost Vine back into its Pet Beast Space to rest.
The Hell Ghost Vine was also close to a Breakthrough.
The Hell Ghost Vine had not broken through to Five-star before. It was only after absorbing Zeng Ningdie’s blood this time that it was able to successfully break through.
Now, Song Tiantian’s three Pet Beasts were: Big White had reached Four-star, the Hell Ghost Vine was close to breaking through to Five-star, and the Illusion Grass had reached Six-star. Her own Strength was currently Five-star, slightly holding back the Illusion Grass.
As for the System, its Strength was unknown.
Song Tiantian sprinkled a scent-hiding powder on both Zeng Ningdie and Lin Song. She didn’t know if it would be useful or help Zeng Ningdie, but Zeng Ningdie and Lin Song truly survived a night safely in the Secret Realm.
There were no Fierce Beast attacks that night.
Due to excessive blood loss, Zeng Ningdie could only fall into a deep sleep.
Lin Song watched over her carefully the entire time, and he supplied Spiritual Power to Zeng Ningdie to maintain her life signs.
It wasn’t until the latter half of the night, when Song Tiantian said she would take over the watch, that Lin Song finally couldn’t hold on and fell asleep.
He was simply too tired, incredibly tired.
Song Tiantian was fine.
Because she had contracted the Illusion Grass, this resting spot was a safe location that the Illusion Grass had told Song Tiantian about.
There were few Fierce Beasts nearby.
The terrain of the Misty Illusion Realm truly changed every day because the Misty Illusion Realm was different from other Secret Realms.
Other Secret Realms were a passage between the Beast Realm and the human world.
Humans could go to these Secret Realms, and Fierce Beasts could also enter these Secret Realms and travel to the human world through them.
However, those were one-way; they could only exit, not enter.
In other words, the Wish Bird could not return to the Beast Realm through the Secret Realm that Song Tiantian had taken him to.
The scene of the Wish Bird leaving back then was an illusion.
It was the Wish Bird deceiving Song Tiantian.
Song Tiantian felt she relied too much on her Pet Beasts’ Inner Voices. She hadn’t detected the slightest problem back then.
Inner Voices were real, but they could be partially hidden.
Just like the System, Song Tiantian had never heard the System’s Inner Voice, which was why Song Tiantian had never suspected the System.
However, the Misty Illusion Realm was different. The Misty Illusion Realm was two-way. Fierce Beasts could enter the Misty Illusion Realm from the Beast Realm and also return to the Beast Realm. This was also the main reason why the Spiritual Energy in this illusion was exceptionally dense.
Song Tiantian had not yet ventured into the core depths of the Misty Illusion Realm because she dared not approach. There were Nine-star Fierce Beasts in the core area of this illusion.
It was strange, but under normal circumstances, some powerful Fierce Beasts, after entering a Secret Realm, would generally choose to claim territory, occupy an area, make it their Territory, and then wait for prey to come to them.
Not all High Level Fierce Beasts yearned for the human world.
However, Low Level Fierce Beasts were uncontrollable, rushing into the human world one after another.
The reasons for this were currently unknown to anyone.
The night passed quickly.
As soon as it was dawn the next day, Lin Song woke up. In a place like this, just having something to lean on was enough to wake him up.
Zeng Ningdie also woke up, but she was still quite weak.
She was overjoyed to learn that no Fierce Beasts had surrounded them.
She naively thought her poison had been cured.
However, as soon as she parted ways with Song Tiantian, she encountered Fierce Beast attacks again. There was no choice but to follow Song Tiantian.
Originally, Song Tiantian had wanted to continue staying in the Secret Realm.
Zeng Ningdie only wanted to leave this Secret Realm with all her heart; she had no intention of staying in this Secret Realm for long.
However, by following Song Tiantian, she discovered that it was very safe in the Secret Realm. There were basically no Fierce Beasts attacking Song Tiantian, and even if there were, Song Tiantian always knew in advance and prepared accordingly.
Song Tiantian’s explanation was that she had contracted a rather Useless Person of a Pet Beast with no combat ability, but it would give early warnings when it sensed danger.
She felt a pang of envy.
If only she had such a Pet Beast.
As for why Fierce Beasts rarely attacked Song Tiantian, Song Tiantian herself could not explain it clearly.
