Avoid Their Edge, Strike at Their Weakness-It'd Be a Shame Not to Squeeze a Soft Persimmon

"What's this?"

The group, who had just finished eating, didn't immediately react by watching; instead...

Run.

Their movements were remarkably synchronized; they withdrew directly from the city, which was shrouded in light, and came outside the city.

The light did not hinder the group, and they could come and go freely.

After they had created some distance between themselves, the group began to study the effect of the light beam.

There was no specific aura or power emanating from it.

There were no fluctuations in the formation's operation.

"Master, what is this?"

Gu Chen looked at it for a while, but couldn't figure it out.

In such a situation, the obvious choice would be to consult one's master, a man who has returned to simplicity and enlightenment.

He is a powerful, long-lived, and experienced man; he must know the specific purpose of this pillar of light.

Upon hearing Gu Chen's question, Mu Fan and the others also looked over.

As expected of the senior disciple.

Lu Changzhi pondered for a moment, gazing at the towering pillar of light.

To be honest, he really didn't know what this thing was good for.

But now, Gu Chen has already asked.

So.

Brush.

Lu Changzhi felt something flash past his eyes.

It seems that the Master Not Inferior to Disciple are trying to outdo each other in terms of Erudite.

In an instant, Lu Changzhi suddenly understood.

I understand.

At that moment, Lu Changzhi waved his hand and said:

"It's nothing serious. The main purpose of this pillar of light is to guide the trial participants in the secret realm into the city."

"It's not just here; other cities and palaces also have this kind of light as a guide."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked around.

Sure enough, even from a distance, we could still see beams of light of varying thicknesses.

"So, it's just good-looking?"

Mu Fan tried to summarize it.

Lu Changzhi shook his head and looked towards the city:

"In cities bathed in light, the spiritual energy level is much higher than during the day, and one will not be affected by the darkness of night while staying within the city."

"The effect of nighttime?" Gu Chen looked surprised.

At this moment, Qin Li spoke up, saying:

"The surrounding spirit beasts and demon beasts began to become more active."

After her reminder, everyone's attention shifted.

Sure enough, the previously relatively quiet monsters became somewhat restless.

Throughout the jungle, the roars of spirit beasts or demon beasts could be heard everywhere, along with the circling of birds.

At this moment, Qin Li put away the token, closed her eyes slightly, as if sensing something.

Lu Changzhi didn't speak, but looked at Qin Li, and when she opened her eyes, he asked:

"Any discoveries?"

Qin Li nodded. "Without the token, this world would affect the state of humans and Beast Race, making them more impulsive and irritable."

"The impact isn't too strong right now, but it might grow stronger over time."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi's heart stirred slightly.

As expected of someone who has lived an extra life, he is knowledgeable and his deductions are almost entirely accurate.

At that moment, Lu Changzhi spoke up:

"That's right, exactly. Also, at night, spirit beasts and demon beasts, after being hunted, will receive more light under the same circumstances."

Qin Li was not surprised by this.

She had encountered this type of trial in her previous life.

Nighttime is the domain of the Beast Race. Hunting outside will yield greater rewards, but with it come greater risks, such as exhaustion, loss of mental control, and being surrounded by packs of beasts.

Of course, judging from the resources prepared for this trip, there's no need to worry about these aspects.

If nothing unexpected happens, accumulating this light will surely yield corresponding uses and rewards within the secret realm.

Of course, she wasn't particularly concerned about these things.

Completing the tasks assigned to me by my master is the most important thing.

After Lu Changzhi explained, everyone understood the logic behind it.

"Master really knew," Gu Chen thought to himself, unable to suppress his own thoughts.

Could this secret realm have been created by our master?

You know what, thinking about it that way...

Their master was a powerful figure, and with his familiarity with the light and the situation, plus these tokens, they could draw upon the power of this world.

Hmm, the more I think about it, the more likely it seems.

After learning the details, the group returned to the city.

Indeed, after the light appeared, the concentration of spiritual energy in the city became even more concentrated.

The place where the Two-Horned Giant Rhino had previously nested was the area with the most concentrated spiritual energy in the entire city.

However, compared to the Origin Spirit Liquid...

It's all just a drop in the ocean.

"The designer of this secret realm truly put a lot of thought into it."

Having found a good spot, Lu Changzhi placed the recliner there.

Besides being aesthetically pleasing, this light has another function.

Prevent the Beast Race from entering.

In other words, at night, if there is no threat from other people, it can be said to be the safest place in the entire secret realm.

What does that mean?

Restore strength and enhance power?

Neither.

For him, this would obviously allow him to sleep peacefully.

That's enough.

In the city, Gu Chen and his group held a brief meeting.

We need to reflect on and summarize the various situations that occurred this afternoon when hunting spirit beasts and demon beasts, try to identify and address our shortcomings, analyze the specific circumstances of this secret realm, and explore targeted strategies.

Ten thousand spirit beasts is no small number; only by being methodical and well-planned can efficiency be maximized.

As for whether or not to hunt the ferocious beast at night, this was not considered after discussion.

According to Qin Li, being affected by the darkness at night would be a significant drain on their energy, and these spirit beasts and demon beasts would definitely need to recover during the day.

Avoid their strengths and attack their weaknesses; it would be a waste not to take advantage of an easy target.

In this way, their evening practice will not be affected.

Under this plan, the city is quiet and peaceful under the cover of night.

In contrast, there was the chaos of the Beast Race outside, and the misery of most people.

The matter of demonic beasts and spirit beasts going mad at night has never been mentioned by any party.

Faced with the Beast Race's sudden "I don't provoke them, but they chase me away" situation, all sorts of unique greetings to the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty filled the secret realm.

This is absolutely a deliberate cover-up!

In fact, the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty was completely unaware of such a change.

Perhaps it's because the number of people coming in has reached a certain level, or perhaps there's something else.

In short, even the younger generation of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty is surprised by these changes.

On their first night in the secret realm, countless people of average strength and limited abilities faced a crushing defeat.

Some people did not persevere for long before leaving behind painful memories.

Others, however, left no memory, but can only exist in the memories of others.

To describe this night in two words:

Confusion.

And this seems to be just the beginning.

"What's going on with these monsters? How have they been able to detect us all this time?!"

Beneath the illusion array, gazing at the once again gathered demonic beasts and mixed spirit beasts, a young man spoke angrily, his displeasure evident.

Beside him, another boy turned to look at Luo Zhen and said:

"Senior Brother Luo, should we continue to move to another location, or should we take action to clean it up?"
