New Humans of the Secret Land

We were just talking about the possibility of a humanoid intelligent race deep within the secret realm, and here they are? Wang Xuan walked closer.

The group of people were dressed in unusual clothes, unlike people from ancient times, with elaborate protective gear on their heads and faces.

It wasn't a bulky helmet, but rather Protective Gear with cutouts of patterns, birds, and other designs, almost like a decorative item. It was worn on the head, both breathable and aesthetically pleasing.

Wang Xuan was astonished. This was no simple craft; it was quite intricate and layered, and even by modern standards, it was stunning.

"Gripping... Ora!" someone shouted from the other side.

He said a lot, but only the last word was clear, making it seem like it represented something.

Zhao Qinghan whispered, "They suddenly appeared from the mountains and forests. They were very hostile when they saw us, but they hesitated and didn't make a move."

Are these beings from the depths of the secret realm? Their hostility upon first meeting is not good news.

Wang Xuan released his spiritual domain to observe and scrutinize the area. His first impression was that these people were all extremely strong; there were no weaklings among them.

If a conflict were to break out, they would most likely suffer a tragic outcome.

Although some of them kept their auras concealed, they definitely possessed the strength of Great Grandmaster!

His heart sank, and he unconsciously reached for his short sword. If a conflict was unavoidable, then he would have no choice but to fight.

A man opposite him seemed to sense something and looked at him. Light Mist flowed from his forehead, which was enough to show that his spiritual power was extremely strong.

Wang Xuan was moved. This group included Great Grandmaster and people with abnormal mental strength. None of them were easy to deal with.

He was very worried that if a conflict broke out, how many of them would survive?

The people opposite them all looked very young, about the same age as the people on their side, and some were even more immature, not even twenty years old.

However, he was not surprised.

If these people are beings from the depths of the secret realm, it's normal for them to have such strength.

What is this place? A Supernatural Planet, teeming with all sorts of wonders.

In a strange realm where the extraordinary is the general direction, it is not surprising that beings of any level appear.

Wang Xuan dismounted, stroked the white colt's mane, and pushed it toward Zhao Qinghan.

He gestured to Zhao, telling him to immediately mount the white horse and escape if things went wrong.

Zhao Qinghan saw the seriousness in his glance, and her heart sank. These ten people were not friendly and would be difficult to deal with!

Even Zhong Cheng didn't dare to speak carelessly. He showed goodwill by saying that everyone is human and may have a common ancestor, perhaps even originating from the same ancestral land.

The group of men and women opposite them all turned their attention to Wang Xuan.

He made no attempt to conceal it, releasing his spiritual domain to scan the ten people opposite him.

Upon closer observation, his heart grew heavier. Each of these people had their own unique characteristics and was an extremely capable individual.

Some people possess a strange power that flows slowly within them, like volcanic magma lying dormant, ready to erupt violently at any moment.

Some people have a metallic sheen on their bodies, which is a protective technique similar to the Golden Body Art.

However, some people on the other side were also surprised and stared at Wang Xuan.

Meanwhile, several people were whispering about the people on the New Star's side.

Wang Xuan's mental domain played its due role, and based on their mental fluctuations, he intermittently heard some key words.

It's not about understanding the words, but about gaining a profound understanding of the mind.

"A bunch of natives!"

The fact that the other side looked down on them so much made Wang Xuan's eyelids twitch.

The creature, seemingly emerging from a hidden realm, appears to possess an incredibly arrogant mindset.

"The person riding the Pegasus descendant has extraordinary mental power, seemingly stronger than my senses. Could it be that they've formed a domain?"

One of them, with a serious expression, warned his companion; it was he who had been staring at Wang Xuan the whole time.

"No way, a domain... isn't that related to the extraordinary?"

"Keep quiet, I'm afraid he'll be able to read our thoughts."

Then, the ten people opposite him fell silent, all staring at Wang Xuan. They had also silenced their own Mental Power, clearly using a secret technique.

Their understanding of spiritual practice and the extraordinary far surpasses that of the New Star.

The ten men exchanged hand gestures, then glanced at Wang Xuan before slowly retreating and disappearing into the forest.

"What kind of primitives are these? They're so backward. Not only are their protective suits fragile, but their aesthetic sense is also so outdated and low. Their clothes are so ugly."

"Keep quiet, that person might still be able to sense it."

"Are you really not going to take action against them?"

"No rush!"

The ten people vanished, as if they had never existed.

They are all extremely powerful, far more powerful than the Moonlight Bodhisattva!

Wang Xuan stared in the direction they left, letting out a soft sigh. He had actually encountered such a group of people; he had almost told Zhao Qinghan and the others to escape first.

"It's understandable. He has been cultivating since childhood and has persisted for many years. He must be very strong," he murmured.

However, he also couldn't stand it; those people were too narcissistic and extremely arrogant.

They not only look down on us based on our strength, but they also despise us based on our aesthetics.

The most outrageous people were those ten who actually believed they were natives from an uncivilized planet.

However, relatively speaking, the New Star stars are indeed very weak.

Wang Xuan was a self-taught practitioner, having only been involved in Old Arts for a few years.

The others weren't ascetics either; for example, some people practiced the Old Arts to maintain a good physique!

A group of explorers were all in an uproar; they had actually encountered a new kind of human, and their recent discussions had come true.

This was the first time the people of New Star had seen humanoid creatures in the Secret Realm; indeed, there was a highly intelligent race here.

"It's a pity we can't bring the news back; it was a groundbreaking discovery," Zheng Rui sighed.

"I feel like they're hostile towards us. Could something bad happen?" Zhong Qing asked.

Wang Xuan discovered that Little Zhong also had a tendency to become a jinx.

He stated a fact directly. "Those ten young men and women are likely all at the Great Grandmaster level!"

In an instant, everyone present fell silent. They were all deeply disturbed by the vast difference in their social standing.

Most importantly, those people were filled with murderous intent; I can't even imagine what would happen if they actually made a move.

These past few days, they've been teetering on the brink of life and death, finding even encountering master-level monsters difficult.

There are now ten terrifying humanoid monsters. Who can stop them? If they make their move, everyone present will probably die.

Zhao Qinghan said, "Leave quickly. If we can get in touch with Old Zhong and Old Song, that would be great. If possible, find their whereabouts."

Now, Old Zhong and Old Song may be their only protection, both possessing extraordinary combat power.

Zheng Rui nodded and said, "Let's follow the battle tracks left by Senior Zhong Yong and the others."

But doing so is extremely dangerous; if you encounter a superhuman rat, the death would be even more gruesome.

People agreed to follow on one side, but to maintain a reasonable distance.

Everyone present felt that since those ten people were hostile, they would make a move sooner or later.

A group of people entered the mountains and ran quickly.

They've been on the run for their lives these past few days, their hearts constantly on edge, unable to find peace for even a moment.

At this moment, everyone missed New Star immensely—the bustling metropolis, the fine wine, the delicious delicacies, the comfortable and soft bed...

People in dire straits especially miss the good old days.

Zhou Yun thought about more: the bright lights, luxury cars, beautiful women, and the dazzling world. He often took pretty girls for a ride in a small spaceship.

"I miss my three girlfriends!" He wanted to cry, sighing and reminiscing as he fled.

Zhong Qing was slender and ran very fast. She was not far away from him and immediately looked down on him after hearing those words.

Zhao Qinghan strode forward, faster than many others, and followed beside Wang Xuan.

At this moment, Great Grandmaster Horse was not carrying anyone. As the "number one expert" in the team, he was expected by everyone and was ready to fight the enemy at any time.

Finally, the group of people couldn't run anymore.

We traversed mountains and valleys, escaping for who knows how many miles; our lungs felt like they were about to burst.

They were panting heavily, slowed their pace, gradually adapted, and eventually many of them simply lay down on the ground.

"Eat spirit fruits to replenish your strength!" Wang Xuan said, opening the collection bag and distributing the blue fruits, which smelled delicious and looked very appetizing.

Many people's eyes changed. This was a rare and precious elixir, and very few people had ever tasted it. In terms of New Star Coin, it was absolutely priceless.

When Wang Xuan distributed the food, many people were too embarrassed to take it.

Because these were picked by Wang Xuan and Great Grandmaster Horse.

Wang Xuan handed one to Zhao Qinghan, then took a bite himself. It was quite sweet and crunchy, but to him, it was just so-so.

His physical body is too strong; ordinary elixirs have little effect on him.

He had a premonition that the spiritual fruit might be far less valuable than the insects on his body.

Many people didn't go to get the spirit fruit because they felt they hadn't really contributed anything.

Wang Xuan said, "It might not be enough. There's not enough for everyone. Let's share it. If those ten people really come after us, we'll most likely be wiped out. Let's take advantage of this time to replenish our strength and improve our power."

A group of people silently consumed the spiritual fruit.

Some people felt bad and suggested giving Great Grandmaster Horse and Wang Xuan a few more spiritual fruits.

"Brother Ma said he doesn't like this kind of fruit, one is enough," Wang Xuan said.

Great Grandmaster Horse glared at him, genuinely indignant. Who said it didn't like it? It was sweet, crisp, and delicious; it would eat it all if given to it.

Wang Xuan mainly felt that since it was at the Great Grandmaster level, it wouldn't have much of an effect if consumed, so it was better to leave it for someone else.

Wang Xuan didn't stand on ceremony and picked up another spiritual fruit, but instead of eating it himself, he handed it to Zhao Qinghan.

Analogous to the Spirit Nurturing Lotus, the effects of consuming two medicinal plants will be greatly reduced.

The group of people were resting and waiting for the medicine to take effect.

Wang Xuan didn't look at anyone else. He sat next to Zhao Qinghan, watching the pale blue halo appear on her fair face as she closed her beautiful eyes and remained motionless.

He knew that Zhao Qinghan was now capable of establishing herself in the realm of near-Grandmaster.

Because she herself was already close to that threshold.

Then, he got up, went to Great Grandmaster Horse, and took out a worm that looked like a blue agate, intending to feed it.

Great Grandmaster Horse's eyes widened in fury, feeling that he had been bullied too much!

When Wang Xuan slightly tore open a corner of the insect's skin, Great Grandmaster Horse immediately narrowed his eyes, opened his mouth and almost bit Wang Xuan's finger, swallowing the insect in one gulp.

Then, it wagged its tail and rubbed against Wang Xuan, meaning it wanted more food!

"Let's wait a bit, just in case it's poisonous, and see if it takes effect." Wang Xuan pushed its enormous head aside, not wanting to see it dangling in front of him.

Great Grandmaster Horse is becoming more and more spiritually aware. Upon hearing these words, he almost stood up and stamped the man's body with his horse's hooves. He was so angry that he was furious.

"It's alright, you're so big, you can survive even if it's poisonous!" Wang Xuan said nonchalantly.

Great Grandmaster Horse really wanted to fight him, but Wang Xuan grabbed the horse's neck and squeezed it hard, which finally calmed it down indignantly.

Others thought he was communicating with the horse, and their relationship was getting better and better.

Zhou Yun sighed and said, "Little Wang is really capable. He actually got so close to a spirit horse at the Great Grandmaster level. It's enviable."

"I will subdue the horse with virtue," Wang Xuan replied calmly.

Great Grandmaster Horse's nose was emitting white light as he looked down on him, showing particular dislike for the person in front of him.

Soon after, they prepared to set off again, not daring to linger, for this was a matter of life and death.

Everyone started running for their lives.

Suddenly, Wang Xuan slowed down and looked back.

Then, he came to Zhao Qinghan's side, looked at her carefully, and led her to the white horse.

"Great Grandmaster Horse, did you see that? A whole bunch of bugs. If you can protect this girl, you can eat them all."

As Wang Xuan spoke, he grabbed a handful of blue insects, then pointed at Zhao Qinghan and helped her onto the horse.

"Wang Xuan!" Zhao Qinghan's expression changed, filled with worry. She and Wang Xuan had a tacit understanding and sensed what was about to happen.

"I know what I'm doing!" Wang Xuan whispered, urging Great Grandmaster Horse to hurry up, and then he drew his short sword!

Wang Xuan hid behind the trees, waiting for the enemy to arrive.

Soon after, people began to appear and were talking in whispers.

"These natives are really strange. What planet did they come from? Why are they so weak?"

"Do you think they might be the natives of this planet? Is it possible that a group of people from back then failed to leave and produced some uncivilized descendants?"

After Wang Xuan sensed these things through his spiritual realm, he was extremely surprised. The origins of these people deviated from his earlier guesses!
