When It Rains, It Pours. There Was No Way Out!
"Broken!"
As the low growl sounded, everyone on the flying boat felt a chill run down their spines.
A chill ran from the soles of my feet straight to my head.
"Hurry, hurry!"
Someone shouted in a panic, their voice urgent.
Everything became clear in an instant.
Why does this place look so safe?
Because there are even more powerful spirit beasts!
However, a reaction is still just a reaction, and it is still much slower than a spirit beast that has already taken action.
Brush.
With a flash of light and shadow, the attack suddenly pounced on the flying boat just as it made a move.
The figure was none other than a dark-bodied, cheetah-like spirit beast.
Its movements were swift and agile; instead of crashing directly into the airship, it stopped abruptly and raised its claws to strike the airship.
Between his fingers, sharp barbs gleamed with a chilling light.
Boom!
The airship's defenses weren't bad.
However, under this claw, it shattered with a deafening roar.
Some people were still in a state of panic and were unprepared when they swayed and fell downwards.
Ah!
A scream rang out, but then it stopped abruptly.
Sharp teeth pierced the throat, and a bloody maw clamped the head between its teeth. With just a slight exertion, the head, as large as a human head, exploded.
Between the cracking of bones, red and white splattered.
This scene nearly scared the souls out of everyone who stared at it.
Run!
In an instant, everyone scattered like birds and beasts.
The spirit beast's hunting interest seemed to be aroused as well. It landed on the city wall, let out a soft roar, and leaped out to attack again.
Hunting, either for food or for pleasure.
This spirit beast is clearly the latter.
They didn't eat it; it seemed they were just biting it for fun, taking one bite and then letting the person go.
But for most people, this was a risky game; one mistake could be fatal.
And what's even more deadly is...
It seems there is more than one spirit beast in the city.
"Don't come looking for me, don't come looking for me... Ah!!--"
"Damn it, damn it, I don't want to continue, but they don't even offer a way to quit! Don't they care about the lives of our elite disciples?!"
"Damn it, wasn't he supposed to be incredibly lucky? It's only the first day, and this is already happening. What kind of luck is this?"
In the ensuing chaos, everyone was thrown into disarray.
In mid-air, Luo Zhen's face was extremely ugly, but he dared not stop moving for a moment.
The array plate was activated, and a powerful force immediately surrounded him.
Then, Luo Zhen retrieved himself from the flying boat.
"Senior Brother Luo, wait for us!"
Those nearby, witnessing this scene, rushed over.
Luo Zhen glanced at them and paused for the moment.
We need to get some people, so we don't end up with no one to rely on.
At the same time, a talisman flew out from his hand, which he activated and blasted towards the approaching spirit beast.
Soon, the airship accelerated, leaving the city and heading into the distance.
This situation occurs in many areas of the secret realm.
Besides the threat from the monsters, there was another threat.
State of mind.
As time went on, an irresistible urge became increasingly apparent.
To put it simply, they want to fight.
Some are warlike and quite powerful. They fight against spirit beasts and demon beasts, gaining a great deal of light, and become even more courageous in battle.
However, the feverish belligerence masked the unsustainability of their power.
In the midst of the fierce battle, a sudden lack of follow-up attacks shattered the balance, leading to the team being swallowed up by the beast tide.
However, many more people were constantly changing positions, being chased by spirit beasts and demon beasts, until they were exhausted.
Or, unfortunately, they might be overtaken by the Beast Race and their flesh and bones would be torn to shreds.
Another group of people, in their frantic efforts, finally found a way to cope with this crisis.
While it's not perfect, it at least helps relieve stress.
The solution is to go up higher.
The proportion of Beast Race and birds in the secret realm is relatively limited.
Once you reach a certain altitude, you can avoid being attacked by most of the Beast Race on the ground and only need to face the birds.
The higher the altitude, the less likely it is to be detected.
Many people finally breathed a sigh of relief amidst the chaos because of this.
Even though the threat of the monsters was gone, it still didn't put people at ease.
The reason is simple: doing this consumes too much energy, and the higher the altitude, the greater the energy consumption.
Without the help of powerful restorative pills, it would be difficult for a person to sustain themselves for long using only their cultivation techniques.
"No, this place can't stay like this any longer."
"Hopefully, these spirit beasts will become calm again by dawn, otherwise our resources probably won't last long."
"Fortunately, we haven't gone too far. Once these beasts behave themselves, we must hurry back to the entrance. This damned secret realm is better left untouched!"
That night was incredibly long.
Countless people endured this torment.
As night fades, sunlight reappears between heaven and earth.
The Beast Race's uprising subsided.
These incredibly frenzied spirit beasts and demonic creatures, just like the name "Beast Tide," surged in and receded like a tide.
Countless people breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thankfully, it's not this noisy during the day."
But some people, following their vague memories, still headed towards the place where they first entered this secret realm.
I'm withdrawing; I'm no longer participating!
Scattered, people began to gather in one place.
When there were only a few people, each of them wore an expression of uncertainty.
But when the number of people reaches a certain level, this uncertainty suddenly turns into panic.
They themselves couldn't believe it when they heard it.
The entrance and exit of the secret realm.
That's all!
Indeed, the entrance that should have been in mid-air had vanished without a trace.
As if things couldn't get any worse, now that I'm about to leave, this just happens...
We can't get out!
This news spread rapidly in all directions.
Based on the principle that such a bad thing should not be borne by oneself alone, countless people have dragged their acquaintances into the abyss of fear.
It would be a lie to say I'm not worried.
In just one night, they had exhausted a great deal of their resources and those of their companions.
If we can't get out again, wouldn't that be...?
Ironically, when they entered the country, the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty did not mention anything about not being able to withdraw midway.
Some people were lucky enough to encounter some outstanding younger generations of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty who questioned them about the matter and the rampage caused by the ferocious beasts.
No answer was received, but judging from the actions and reactions of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty...
It seems that they are simply unable to leave midway, rather than being trapped here.
This allowed those who still had some confidence to breathe a sigh of relief for the time being.
When it comes to matters of safety, everyone feels insecure.
The least concerned among the younger generation are undoubtedly the Five Symbols Sect's main sect members and their students.
As soon as the news began to circulate, authoritative disciples used communication stones to relay it to all the other disciples.
The entrance and exit did not disappear; they were simply obscured by a high-level illusion array.
Although it wasn't done by anyone from the sect, getting out of there shouldn't be a problem.
Knowing and believing this makes the panic of others seem insignificant.
As for going out, I have absolutely no intention of doing so.
While everyone else was still panicking because of their predicament, a group of the Five Symbols Sect disciples were doing something that brought them immense joy.
It's free.
