Guo Shier sighed in his heart. He didn't ask for the kids' names. He knew that once they left this continent, they might never come back in this lifetime. There was no need to know too much. This world was strange. He couldn't figure out the mysteries behind it. He didn't want to have too many worries.
Watching the two children gobble down the meat, everyone felt very relaxed. With the kids around, the murderous aura would subconsciously lessen.
Guo Shier was very satisfied with the meal, and the kids were also very happy. When the sky was getting dark, Zhou Xiaoling sent the kids back to the village. Guo Shier said, "We can't stay here for long. When Juehu Miluo returns to the Miluo Continent, they might know about us. If they find us, we won't be able to leave."
Falconer nodded and said, "We have at least ten days as a buffer. As long as we leave this place, it will be very difficult to find us."
Guo Shier said, "I'm going to put away the talisman house. Everyone, get ready to leave."
When Zhou Xiaoling came back, Guo Shier immediately activated the Trans-Boundary Talisman. The four of them entered a secret realm.
One secret realm after another was left behind. Continents after continents were crossed. They didn't know how long they had been walking. When most of the talisman house's coordinates could not be used, they arrived at a continent.
Guo Shier said, "Uncle Falconer, we seem to have nowhere to go. This is the Hundred Layers Continent. It shouldn't be the Miluo Clan's territory."
Luo Zhan looked around and said, "This seems to be a very ordinary continent. The weather is not bad. I wonder if there are any talisman sects in this continent. We can find the coordinates of some nearby secret realms. It would be best if we can find the Hidden Secret Realm. "
Falconer smiled bitterly, "It's easy for you to say. The Hidden Secret Realm … is very rare. If we can get the coordinates of a Hidden Secret Realm, I think our way home will be much easier."
Guo Shier nodded. He also knew that it was hard to find a Hidden Secret Realm. Actually, it would be great if there was a place like the Star Continent. There were countless secret realms to choose from. He said, "There are no other continents in the vicinity. This is the last recorded continent, and the coordinates of the secret realms are all around it. Because … if we enter the secret realm and don't want to turn back, we have to find the exit and enter another continent or secret realm."
Zhou Xiaoling said heroically, "Shier, let's go! If we don't go, how will we know there is a way? "
Guo Shier nodded and said, "At this point, we have no choice but to try. We have been out for a long time, so we have to be prepared that we won't be able to go back for a while. We can't waste time.
Eagle Demon asked, "Are there any recorded sects in the Hundred Layers Continent?"
Guo Shi 'er said, "Even if there is, it must be a sect from many years ago. The inheritance we obtained is the real inheritance of the ancient Miluo Clan. At that time, no matter what was recorded on the Hundred Levels Continent, it might have disappeared."
Hawk Demon said, "Then we'll find it ourselves!"
Then. Falconer said.
…
There were no sects in the Hundred Layers Continent, but there were a few famous cities. One of them was called Ascending Birch City. It was named after a precious tree – Ascending Birch Tree.
Ascending Birch City did not produce any Ascending Birch Trees. Due to thousands of years of logging, the Ascending Birch Tree had gone extinct, leaving only the name Ascending Birch City.
Ascending Birch City was not a first-class city in the Hundred Layers Continent, but the people here were tough. There were eight Charm Spell Families competing with each other. The eight families took turns to control the city with a population of more than two million.
The city was divided into inner and outer city. The inner city was inhabited by eight families, professionals, and merchants. The outer city was inhabited by ordinary people, vagrant professionals, and foreign merchants. The outer city was surrounded by fortresses. A fortress covered an area of about ten acres, and was built with thick blue stone strips. Moreover, a charm master had been invited to cast a charm on it. A fortress was a small family, and they lived by hunting and farming.
There were countless fortresses like this outside Ascending Birch City. Countless small families lived in them. If a Charm Beast or a mutated Charm Beast appeared, these ordinary people would hide in the fortresses. They usually lived in the fortresses.
Guo Shier and the others found out about Ascending Birch City because they found the fortresses.
Following the directions of the residents in the fortresses, Guo Shier and the others soon reached the outskirts of Ascending Birch City. This time, they did not fly into the city. Instead, they walked along the main road to the city gate.
There were a few low-level professionals and a small group of soldiers standing at the gate. They were only guarding the gate. They would not interfere with people going in and out of the city. Their main role was to guard against wild beasts. Therefore, Guo Shier and the others were not stopped from entering the city.
Guo Shier said, "This place is strange. It doesn't seem to be a high-level continent. It feels like a mid-level continent. I don't see any Saint Master or higher … Is it a low-level continent? That shouldn't be the case. The coordinates of this continent were obtained from the inheritance … "He shook his head in confusion.
Zhou Xiaoling said, "Maybe it was a high-level continent in the past, but it has declined now."
Falconer also said, "It is a bit strange. Until now, the highest profession I have seen is a Master. It is similar to our Northern Fu Men."
Guo Shier said, "Low-level Charm Continent … It shouldn't be. Maybe the family that controls this city is not strong enough. I think this continent should at least have the strength of a mid-level Charm Continent. But it is strange … The Hundred Layer Continent is so close to the Ancient Miluo Family's territory. Why hasn't it been annexed?"
Falconer said, "I don't know … Forget it, Shier. It is useless to think about this. Let's buy some food first."
Guo Shier nodded. "Yes, there is still a lot of meat, but there is not much food. We need to buy some." Everyone was very familiar with this kind of purchasing. They first went to a big shop and exchanged the materials of the mutated rune beasts for local money. Then, they went to buy the food and necessities they needed.
Guo Shier led Falconer and the others to a shop. This was a shop that was run by a family in Shenghua City. The four of them walked in.
The shop was hung with a rune signboard. It was written that they were buying all kinds of rune beast materials.
The front hall was very large. There was a very long table. The table was made very crudely. It was made by sawing logs together. The surface of the table had not been treated in any way. It was already smooth and glossy. A few shop assistants were busy. There were also some professionals selling the hides and bones that they had hunted.
Guo Shier glanced at them and found that the highest level of these professionals was only a Master. Most of them were selling the materials of level 2 or 3 mutated rune beasts. Falconer said, "Come, we want to sell materials."
A shop assistant came forward and looked at the crowd. He smiled and said, "You are not from this city, right?"
Falconer said, "We are not from this city. Is there a rule that we don't accept materials from outsiders?" He asked curiously.
The shop assistant hurriedly said, "No, we don't care if you are a foreigner or a local. As long as it is valuable, we will accept it."
Guo Shier threw a talisman bag and said, "There is a level 5 mutated brown bear here." Falconer took it. Guo Shier had collected a lot of these level 5 and 6 mutated rune beasts. He dissected them and put them in a talisman bag. It was specially used to exchange for things from different continents.
Level 5 and 6 mutated rune beasts were no longer useful to him. But they were very suitable to exchange for things. He couldn't take out a pile of level 7 or 8 mutated rune beast materials every time. That would be too scary.
But this level 5 mutated rune beast was enough to scare everyone in the shop.
Falconer took out a huge brown bear skin from the talisman bag and threw it on the ground. This bundle of mutated brown bear skin was like a small hill. If it was thrown on a table, it would probably collapse.
A mutated brown bear was about seven or eight meters tall. It was not hard to imagine how big this skin was.
Falconer pulled out the leather rope, and the mutated brown bear skin stretched out.
Several local professionals stepped back in horror. This mutated rune beast skin almost covered the whole front hall. A shop assistant quickly ran to the back hall. This kind of business was not something that a small shop assistant like him could decide.
Another shop assistant politely brought a low stool and said with a smile, "Please … please sit!"
Guo Shier waved his hand and said, "No need. You can appraise it."
The shop assistant said with a smile, "This … this is not something we can decide. We have already invited the shopkeeper and the appraiser."
News of what happened in the small town spread very quickly, and Professionists immediately rushed over. The owner of the shop also came out with a group of professionals. Guo Shier looked around and found that the most powerful among them was a Rune Maniac. Moreover, he was a beginner Rune Maniac. He was probably the master of the shop.
The shopkeeper was a Rune Master. When he saw the mutated brown bear skin on the ground, he was surprised. He didn't expect that someone would sell such a precious material.
Falconer was impatient with so many people watching. He said, "Those who have nothing to do with it, please leave!" A violent soul pressure was suddenly released. But he didn't intend to hurt anyone. He just released it a little and then withdrew the frightening pressure.
All the low-level professionals present felt extreme fear at that moment. Whether it was the shopkeeper or the Maniac Maniac, they were all scared to the point of cold sweat. They suddenly understood that these people were high-level professionals. As for how high they were, they didn't know.
The beginner Rune Maniac said, "Everyone, please leave."
All the professionals left the shop. The soul pressure just now made them feel like their souls were about to fly away. That was a signal of extreme danger. No one dared to complain. After leaving the shop, many professionals quickly ran back to their families.
The shopkeeper said, "Seniors, please go to the inner hall to talk."
Guo Shier nodded. He needed someone to help him buy things. He said, "Okay, let's go." They didn't care about the mutated brown bear skin on the ground.
The shopkeeper ordered the shop assistant to carry the mutated brown bear skin to the inner hall. Then, he politely invited the four of them to the inner hall.
In just a moment, the eight families in the entire Shenghua City received the shocking news that foreign high-level professionals had entered the city. The patriarchs of each family were personally dispatched and quickly rushed to the shop.
The tranquil Ascending Birch City was suddenly thrown into chaos, and it felt as if chickens were flying and dogs were jumping.
