Boss Hou looked at Zhao sympathetically. After a while, he sighed and said, "The twelfth stronghold is called the Hell's Gate by the people here. It's because it's been attacked the most by wild beasts. In fact, we only have twelve strongholds in the outside world. And because the twelfth stronghold is the deepest in the Mystic Realm, it's also the most dangerous. I heard that the number of casualties there is also the highest. Now, it's hard to say how many people are still alive in the twelfth stronghold. It's been a long time since anyone came back from the twelfth stronghold. We can only send things there through the transmission formation, but there should still be people living there. Because when we send things through the transmission formation, there will always be people receiving them. But I don't know how many people are still alive there."
So how many people are still alive? "Zhao Hai looked at Boss Hou and asked," What's wrong? Can't the people from the other strongholds come back here at will? "
If there are less than 50 people left in a stronghold, then all of them can withdraw here. If there are more than 50 people left in a stronghold, then they have to stay in the stronghold. Therefore, nobody knows how many people are left in the strongholds outside. Every once in a while, we will send something to them through the transmission formation. If the people in the stronghold want to come back, then they have to write a report and use the transmission formation to get the approval of the eight elders. At the beginning, we also stayed in the stronghold, but after three years of service, we can return to the camp. Compared to the other strongholds, the camp is much safer. The stronghold we served in is the 8th stronghold. Although we have been fighting for a long time, we haven't been reduced to less than 300 people. However, the 12th stronghold has been reduced to less than 50 people and had to return to the camp several times. The last time this happened was two months ago. Nobody knows how many people are left in that stronghold. "
Zhao Hai looked at Boss Hou and said, "I don't understand. Aside from dealing with those beasts, what else can we get in the Secret Realm?"
Boss Hou replied, "We can get a lot of things. Beasts' hides and their bone beads."
Zhao Hai stared, then he asked, "Bone beads? What are those? "
Boss Hou took out a round ball from his body. This ball didn't look like it was made of bone. Instead, it looked like it was carved out of white jade. It was perfectly round and very beautiful.
Boss Hou said in a deep voice, "These are bone pearls. They're very useful. If you carry them with you when you cultivate, it can calm your mind and speed up your cultivation. It can also increase your strength and toughen your bones. If you soul transform, your attack power will also increase."
Zhao Hai knew that Boss Hou's soul transformation was actually turning into one's own soul. This was what Zhao Hai saw before. A person suddenly turned into a sword and attacked.
Zhao Hai didn't think that the bone beads would have this kind of use. Boss Hou looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Every year, we have to hand over 50 bone beads. If we can't provide the corresponding amount, then we have to use other things to replace it. For example, medicinal herbs. There are a lot of medicinal herbs in the Secret Realm. But at the same time, picking medicinal herbs is also very dangerous. This is because there are too many beasts in the Secret Realm."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he looked at Old Hou and asked, "How powerful are the beasts here?"
Boss Hou thought for a moment before he said, "The beasts here are very powerful. They have some innate ability, ossification. This ossification allows them to cover their bodies with an exoskeleton during battle. This exoskeleton is very hard and can increase their offensive strength. Aside from the exoskeleton, they can also transform into the void, just like the animals in the Spirit Weapon Realm. Aside from this, the animals here also seem to be able to cultivate. They can become more powerful and more intelligent, and they even have their own territories. Remember, don't go to those territories that are occupied by animals. Those places are forbidden areas. Nobody who goes there can come back alive. Even Broken River Realm experts can't guarantee that they can come back alive. But right now, we know that there are 23 territories where animals are fighting, three of which are near the twelfth foothold, and they're very close to the twelfth foothold."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "In other words, as long as I hand over 50 bone beads every year, I can return to the base after three years? Then after I return to the base, when can I leave the Secret Realm? "
Boss Hou looked at Zhao Hai and sighed, "It's not that easy to leave the Secret Realm. Before you enter the Secret Realm, you'll have to serve for three to five years. But after five years, if they don't want you to leave, then they'll say that your performance was very good and let you serve for a few more years. We've seen this kind of situation before. In other words, when you can leave the Secret Realm is completely up to the eight Supreme Elders to decide. Looking at your situation, I'm afraid it's impossible for you to leave this place alive."
Zhao Hai stared, but he still looked panicked. In fact, this situation was already within his expectations. Zhao Hai looked at Boss Hou and said, "Then if I stay here, will the Lost Soul City be attacked? You said that once I enter the Secret Realm, you'll protect the Lost Soul City. Is this true? "
Boss Hou nodded and said, "That's true. As long as you're alive and you're still in the Secret Realm, then the Secret Realm will protect the people you want it to protect. If it can't do this, then no one will feel safe in the Secret Realm. Although there are several River Breaking Realm experts here, if no one wants to stay here, then the Secret Realm will be finished. Therefore, you don't have to worry about this."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "So that's how it is. Then it's easy. Right, how do I get to the 12th stronghold? Do I use the transmission formation? "
Boss Hou nodded and said, "Right, use the transmission formation. You can use the transmission formation to go to the 12th stronghold. Right, let me remind you, when you fight here, use your weapon as much as possible. This is because you can last longer with a weapon. Every time you fight a beast, you need to be prepared for a long battle. You don't know how many beasts will attack you. In the Secret Realm, the beasts seem to be endless."
Zhao Hai nodded. Then he pointed at his flail and saber and said, "I've already thought of this, so I brought my weapons. Right, do I have to go to the 12th stronghold now?"
Boss Hou nodded and said, "You have to go now because you received your token. After receiving your token, you must arrive at your stronghold within a day. Otherwise, you will be punished."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll go now. Right, where is the transmission formation?"
Boss Hou looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Look at you, you don't seem to be worried at all. What's wrong? Aren't you worried about yourself at all? "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "What's there to be worried about? When you were inquiring about my strength, didn't you hear about it? Three Breaking River Experts died in my hands. I don't believe that those beasts would pose any threat to me. "
Boss Hou looked at Zhao Hai and sighed, then he said, "You still need to be careful. Let me tell you, although there are only eight Elders in the Mystic Realm, a lot of them have died. Moreover, there are more than eight Elders in the Mystic Realm. It's just that these eight Elders are permanently stationed in the Mystic Realm. There are also some Elders who have left the Mystic Realm. In other words, if you want to open the Mystic Realm, in addition to obtaining the approval of the Elders, there is another way. That is to reach Breaking River Level and become an Elder.
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I understand. Don't worry, I'll be careful. Send me to the 12th stronghold. I don't want to be punished for being late. You should know about my situation, I was tricked into coming here."
Boss Hou nodded, then he sighed and said, "Brother, you seem to be a good person. Let me remind you, before you came here, there were a lot of people who were tricked into coming here, but none of them were able to leave the Secret Territory alive. You have to be careful, I hope you can become a Breaking River expert. If you really become a Breaking River expert, then you will become an elder. I can see that you don't like the Sacred Institute, so when the time comes, you will be on our side. If we have the support of a Breaking River elder, then we will be able to speak more boldly."
Zhao Hai understood what Boss Hou meant. If he became a Breaking River Level Expert and had enmity with the Holy Court, then he would naturally become a member of the Anti-Holy Academy Faction. The reason why the Anti-Holy Academy Faction was suppressed by the Pro-Holy Academy Faction was because they didn't have a Breaking River Level Expert backing them. As for the other Elders, it seems like they didn't want to stay in the Secret Realm. Moreover, they also didn't want to offend the Holy Court. Otherwise, the Anti-Holy Academy Faction wouldn't have been suppressed.
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, if I can become a Breaking River Level Expert one day, then I'll certainly speak up for you. You can rest assured." Boss Hou nodded, then he led Zhao Hai towards the camp. Before long, they arrived in front of a transmission formation. On the side of the formation was a stone stele with the word '12' written on it.
Boss Hou pointed at the transmission formation and said, "This is the transmission formation that leads to the 12th stronghold. You can go up. Remember, be careful when you get there. I hope you can become a Breaking River Level Expert." Zhao Hai nodded, then he stood on the transmission formation. Then Boss Hou activated the formation. A white light flashed as Zhao Hai disappeared from the formation.
Before long, Zhao Hai felt the white light in front of him slowly disappear. He could finally see and hear what was going on outside. But when he saw the situation outside, Zhao Hai couldn't help but stare. This was because he was standing on a transmission formation. Not far from the formation, some people were holding weapons as they fought with wild beasts.
These wild beasts were very strange. Their bodies were covered in a layer of white bone armor. Moreover, the attacks of these beasts were very methodical. Zhao Hai can see that these people weren't weak. However, they weren't able to gain the upper hand against these beasts. On the contrary, they were in a very dangerous situation.
Zhao Hai roughly calculated that there were about 200 people in the 12th stronghold. As for how many beasts were attacking the stronghold, nobody knew. In any case, there were a lot of them. And now, these 200 people were guarding the transmission formation. The other places in the camp had already been occupied by the beasts.
Zhao Hai was very clear about why these people were guarding the transmission formation. This was because this was their life channel. If the transmission formation was destroyed, then they could only wait for death. Therefore, the other places can be abandoned, but the transmission formation can't be destroyed. If the transmission formation is destroyed, then all of them would die here.
However, Zhao Hai wasn't in the mood to think about this. The current situation was very dangerous. If he didn't participate in the battle, then it wouldn't be justifiable. Therefore, Zhao Hai's figure moved as he went straight towards the beasts.
What made Zhao Hai feel strange was that although there were a lot of people in the camp, they didn't fly. Instead, they were on the ground dealing with the attacks of the beasts. This made Zhao Hai very curious.
However, Zhao Hai didn't have time to think about these things. These people had already surrounded the transmission formation. If he wants to participate in the battle, then he would have to either squeeze out of their formation or attack the beasts from the sky. However, it was clear that if he squeezed out of their formation, then they would immediately fall into chaos. Then it wouldn't be easy to block the attacks of the beasts. Therefore, he could only use the second method, which was to attack the beasts from the sky.
Without thinking, Zhao Hai's figure moved and flew into the air. At the same time, he waved his hand and a watermelon-sized hammer flew towards a wolf-like beast.
The wolf-like beast was currently attacking a Blade Soul. However, the Blade Soul's attention was attracted by a monkey-like beast next to him. Therefore, he didn't notice that the wolf-like beast was attacking him. It can be said that the wolf-like beast was very cunning. It chose to attack the Blade Soul's blind spot. Moreover, it was about to succeed. After all, the Blade Soul was entangled by another beast, and the people around him couldn't support him.
Just as the wolf's eyes flashed with a trace of pride, he heard a gust of wind, and then a black shadow covered him. When the wolf wanted to see what it was, he felt his vision turn black, and then he didn't know what happened.
The flail that Zhao Hai threw hit the wolf's head. Although the wolf's head was very hard and was protected by bone armor, it was still smashed by Zhao Hai's hammer. At the same time, the people and beasts that were fighting discovered Zhao Hai's existence.
