It must be said that the beasts in the Secret Realm were very powerful. Because of their bone armor, their defensive capabilities were very strong. Besides their bone armor, their strength was also very high. Most importantly, they could also transform into nothingness, which was very extraordinary.
Moreover, Zhao Hai also discovered that the beasts here were very intelligent, their wisdom was no less than that of humans. When they fought, they would advance and retreat in an orderly manner. It was obvious that someone was commanding them, this was very strong.
However, there were also some things that surprised Zhao Hai. In the Secret Realm, he could communicate with plants. The plants here were just like the plants in the Soul Realm, they had their own soul source. This made Zhao Hai very surprised.
While sleeping on the stone bed and thinking about these things, Zhao Hai unknowingly fell asleep. Just as he was sleeping soundly, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis. Zhao Hai stared, then he opened his eyes. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a snake opening its mouth and biting towards his throat.
Zhao Hai's eyes flashed with a cold light, then he stretched out his hand and grabbed the snake's seven inches. But at this time, he suddenly felt that his hand was empty, it was as if he had only grabbed a shadow.
Zhao Hai snorted, then he stretched out his other hand. This time, his hand was covered in a layer of green light. Although the snake's body had also turned into nothingness, it was still caught by Zhao Hai. Then with the strength of his hand, the snake's body stiffened, it was finally dead.
Zhao Hai looked at the snake. It was a very long snake, about five meters long. It was as thick as an arm, and its body was covered in black scales. There were also golden cloud-like patterns on its body. It had a triangular head, a long tongue, and two sharp fangs. Zhao Hai was sure that this snake was highly poisonous.
Zhao Hai stood up, then he opened the door and walked outside. When he arrived at the door, he saw a tree growing in the camp. Then he took a wooden root and took out his long sword. Then he nailed the snake's head to the tree with the wooden root. Then he cut open the snake's belly and took out the bone bead. The bone bead was located at the snake's seven inches. This bone bead was only the size of a fingernail, but it looked just like the other bone beads, crystal clear like jade.
Zhao Hai received the bone bead, then he peeled off the snake's skin and took out the snake's meat. Then he gathered the snake's gallbladder and stored it away. After that, he went back to his room and found a basin. Then he cut the snake's meat and soaked it in water.
After all of this was done, he looked at the sky and saw that it was still early. Zhao Hai took the basin and returned to his room. After putting down the basin, Zhao Hai went back to his bed and took a nap. It wasn't until he heard a burst of noise outside that he woke up.
When Zhao Hai opened the door, he saw Wen Wenhai walking towards his room. Zhao Hai cupped his fist towards Wen Wenhai and said, "Brother Wen, good morning. What is everyone doing?" Then he looked at the camp and saw that a lot of people were surrounding the tree where he peeled off the snake's skin last night. They were looking at the snake's skin on the tree.
Wen Wenhai quickly arrived at Zhao Hai's side and said, "Brother Tian, what's the matter with the snake on the tree? Do you know about it? "
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I know. Tomorrow night, there will be a snake that I don't know how it got into my room. After I killed it, I skinned it. Oh, right, the snake meat is still in my room. Hmm, I think I should make a snake stew with it, it should taste good." Zhao Hai nodded.
When Wen Wenhai heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but let out a long breath and said, "Sure enough, it was you. You're really amazing. Do you know what kind of snake it is? You're actually in the mood to make snake stew. I really admire you. "
Zhao Hai looked at Wen Wenhai and said, "What snake? This kind of snake can't be made into snake stew. "
When Wen Wenhai heard this, he had a defeated expression on his face. Then he said, "You're still talking about snake stew at this time. Let me tell you, this snake is called the Shadow Snake. It's a very powerful Ethereal Snake. After this snake's Ethereal Transformation, it's immune to almost all attacks. Dozens of people in the camp have already died to this snake, yet you're still thinking about making snake stew."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Yes, this snake is very powerful. It killed a lot of people. But what does this have to do with me making snake stew? In any case, he's already dead. "
When Wen Wenhai heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but stare. Then he thought for a moment before he nodded and said, "You're right. This snake killing people has nothing to do with you. In any case, he's already dead."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and didn't say anything. Wen Wenhai looked at him and said, "Right, how did you kill this snake?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "It's nothing. I was sleeping when I suddenly felt danger. When I woke up, I saw that the snake was already rushing towards me. I reached out to grab it. The first time I tried to grab it, it's Ethereal Transformation. But the second time, I managed to grab it. At that time, my hand was wrapped in a layer of energy, so I was able to grab the snake."
Wen Wenhai nodded and said, "So that's how it is. Your reaction is quite fast. Fortunately, you weren't bitten by the snake. If you were, then you'd be finished. This snake's poison is incomparable. Even a Sky Dance Expert wouldn't be able to save themselves if they were bitten."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and didn't say anything. Wen Wenhai looked at Zhao Hai and let out a long breath, "You need to be careful in the future. These Shadow Snakes live in groups. Moreover, wherever they go, they would leave behind their scent. Once they find out that you killed a Shadow Snake, then you would become the enemy of all of them. Therefore, you need to be careful."
Zhao Hai nodded. Right now, he was hoping that a Shadow Snake would attack him. Tomorrow night, he would be woken up by a Shadow Snake. One must know that at that time, he was meeting Laura and the others in his dream. When he was woken up, his murderous aura surged. Therefore, he immediately killed the Shadow Snake. If there were more Shadow Snakes, then he would definitely catch them and throw them into the Space.
Zhao Hai's room had a small kitchen with all kinds of kitchen utensils. Zhao Hai used the kitchen utensils to make a pot of snake soup and then invited Wen Wenhai to have breakfast there.
Wen Wenhai wasn't polite. After eating the snake soup, Wen Wenhai followed Zhao Hai out of his room. The two walked around the camp. The camp wasn't very big, it only had 500 stone houses. Some of the houses were broken, but because no one lived in them, they weren't repaired.
Before long, the two arrived at the edge of the camp. Looking at the woods outside the camp, Wen Wenhai sighed and said, "I heard that Stronghold 12 was originally established by a Breaking River expert. This place is very deep inside the Secret Realm. Whether it's harvesting herbs or hunting beasts, it's very convenient. But after the Breaking River expert left, the Elders didn't want to give up on the stronghold, so they sent some people to take over the stronghold. Unfortunately, we don't have the strength of a Breaking River expert. Let's not talk about harvesting herbs or hunting beasts. Being able to keep the stronghold in our hands is already good enough. Although we went out to harvest herbs, we didn't dare to go out of the five li radius of the camp. Because of this, we were often attacked by beasts."
Speaking up to this point, Wen Wenhai couldn't help but sigh. Then he couldn't help but angrily say, "But the Sacred Court only gave us a small amount of supplies and made us fight to the death here. We also have to hand over the bone beads that we get. Fifty a year. Do they think that fifty bone beads are easy to get? The strength of the beasts here is very strong, and they often move in groups. The people in other strongholds are better, the danger there is much less compared to here. They can go to the woods to hunt beasts, and it wouldn't be difficult for them to get 50 beasts a year. But what about here? We are adjacent to three forbidden areas, and the beasts here are very powerful. We don't dare to go out of the five li radius of the camp, so how can we hunt beasts? We can only wait for the wild beasts to come knocking on our door. Fortunately, those wild beasts also give us face. At most ten days, at least five days, they will attack once. Every time, we will have some gains, but these gains are exchanged with human lives. Every time the wild beasts attack, people in the camp will die. Fortunately, people die, otherwise, we won't be able to gather fifty bone pearls in a year. "
Zhao Hai could hear the anger in Wen Wenhai's words. However, he didn't say anything. He knew that Wen Wenhai couldn't be blamed for this matter. Wen Wenhai should be angry, but he didn't want to add fuel to the fire at this time.
However, Zhao Hai was also very clear that if people like Wen Wenhai were to increase, then sooner or later a war would break out in the Secret Realm. When that time comes, it would be hard to say what would happen to the Secret Realm. However, looking at the Sacred Court and the Elders of the Secret Realm, it seems like they weren't worried about this happening. This made Zhao Hai curious.
However, Zhao Hai didn't voice out his guess. After all, he had only been in the Secret Realm for two days. He didn't know much about the situation here. Therefore, he didn't express his opinion casually.
Seeing that Zhao Hai didn't speak, Wen Wenhai lowered his voice and said, "Brother Tian, you must be careful. Don't leave the five li radius of the camp. Outside the five li radius is relatively safe. Outside the five li radius is the territory of the wild beasts, which is very dangerous. Also, the southeast, the west, and the north, try not to go to these three directions as much as possible. These three directions are the three forbidden areas adjacent to our camp. One of these forbidden areas is Iron Tree Mountain, which is located in the southeast of the camp. There are some iron trees growing there. These iron trees cannot move, but their strength is very formidable. Moreover, these iron trees are very strict in guarding their own territory. If you enter their territory, you will be attacked. Don't think that you'll be fine just because you can fly. Iron Tree Mountain has some flying birds. These birds live on the trees and feed on the fruits of the iron trees. They are called iron birds. These iron birds aren't big, but their bodies are very hard and their attack power is very formidable. If you fly over the mountain, these iron birds will attack you without mercy. Ordinary Sky Dance Experts simply can't block the iron birds' attack. Even if you block the iron birds' attack, there are still some iron trees on the mountain. These iron trees can fly and can even transform into human form to attack you. As for those iron trees that can transform into human form, even Broken River Experts wouldn't be a match for them."
Speaking up to here, Wen Wenhai paused for a moment before continuing, "In the west of the camp is the Spirit Snake Valley. It is a very gloomy valley. There are countless snakes there, all kinds of snakes. The Shadow Snake comes from the Spirit Snake Valley. There is also a poisonous gas in the Spirit Snake Valley. People who go there will be poisoned. I heard that those who went to the Spirit Snake Valley have never come back alive. Only a Broken River Expert managed to escape, but when he came back from the Spirit Snake Valley, he was poisoned and his strength was greatly reduced."
"In the north of the camp is the Tiger Roar Peak, also known as the Hundred Beasts Peak. There are a lot of beasts living there. These beasts have a very strict hierarchy. I heard that the strongest beast in the Tiger Roar Peak is a White Tiger. Its strength is incomparable. Even a Broken River Expert isn't its opponent. The Tiger Roar Peak is the closest forbidden area to us. Most of the beasts that attack our camp are from the Tiger Roar Peak."
After he finished speaking, Wen Wenhai turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Now you know, our stronghold is a dead zone. If we go out of the stronghold, no matter where we go, we will encounter a forbidden zone. These three forbidden zones form a triangle, surrounding our stronghold. If we want to develop our stronghold, it would be very difficult." Zhao Hai nodded, then he looked at Wen Wenhai.
Zhao Hai replied, "Aside from these three forbidden areas, what else is there? Are there any other places that are dangerous? "
Wen Wenhai smiled bitterly and said, "Didn't I tell you? It's best if we don't go more than five li away from the camp. Going outside would be dangerous. I don't know what's going on with the beasts in the Secret Realm. Each one is stronger than the other, and each one is smarter than the other. When I was here, I discovered that we were just fools compared to those beasts. Alright, let's just wait in the stronghold. After three years, we can openly return to the headquarters. At that time, we will be safe. "
Zhao Hai nodded. Then he looked at the forest in front of him. He kept communicating with the trees in the forest, he wanted to know if it was safe or not. And these trees were very close to him. They told Zhao Hai that the area around them was very safe. Aside from some small insects and beasts, there were no other dangerous things.
However, this information wasn't very useful to Zhao Hai. He couldn't leave the stronghold right now, he didn't want to be too independent. He wanted to wait for a while, after the beasts attacked, the people in the camp should have an understanding of his strength. At that time, he would leave the camp and enter the forest. At that time, no one would suspect him.
Wen Wenhai seemed to be unhappy because of the conversation. His mood was very low, he stared blankly at the forest for a while before he turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Let's go back. There's nothing to see here, this place is just like a prison." Then he sighed and turned around to head back to the camp. Zhao Hai looked at Wen Wenhai and didn't say anything. He just followed Wen Wenhai back to the camp. He knew that it was useless to say anything right now.
