109: Chapter 109 First Entry into the Vast Mystic Realm

A vast, illusory expanse swallowed everyone up.

A blinding flash of white light, so bright one could not see their own hand, swept past, and it felt as if everyone had entered another dimension.

Gentle sunlight shone down from the sky, and the scene revealed before their eyes shook their spirits, instantly making them much more alert.

"This is the Cangyuan Secret Realm!"

Bu Zhengjing's friendly voice rang out.

Everyone's restless hearts quickly calmed down. Under his leadership, they walked out of the heavily fortified Military Fortress and personally experienced the primitive wilderness of the Cangyuan Secret Realm.

"Although we have already taken control of the Cangyuan Secret Realm, we haven't interfered too much with its interior. It still maintains its original ecological environment, so there is still a certain level of danger."

Pan Xuan explained to everyone in Beast Taming Class 1.

As he spoke, several avian Pet Beasts swept over their heads, their fierce gazes scanning across them.

"Summon your Pet Beasts!"

Pan Xuan raised his hand to signal everyone to follow.

A golden Pet Beast contract flashed violently, and a massive black bear nearly two meters tall appeared beside Pan Xuan. The gilded armor it wore shimmered in the sunlight, making it very conspicuous.

The Great Strength Bear had evolved into a Gangshan Bear amidst the raging gales, refining the wild mountain winds and the power of the earth's veins into its body, forging a terrifying strength that was impervious to weapons and immune to all magic!

As soon as the Gangshan Bear appeared, its terrifying aura suddenly drove away the fierce birds circling in the sky, frightening them into scattering and fleeing.

The other students also summoned their Pet Beasts.

In a Secret Realm fraught with crises, one's Pet Beast partner is the greatest guarantee of survival, even surpassing artillery and firearms.

Of course, Yue Yun was an exception.

Xue Qin looked at Miao Sang, who was sprawled on top of Yue Yun's head, her tone tinged with hesitation: "Are you sure it's the one protecting you?"

Miao Sang forced one eye open to glance at Xue Qin.

The Heart-Confusing Fox at Xue Qin's feet was also sizing up this fat cat, its foxy eyes full of mockery, without the slightest bit of fear.

"Meow—!"

Miao Sang let out a dissatisfied meow.

After grumbling, it didn't continue, instead lazily lying back on Yue Yun's head and falling fast asleep.

The group followed Pan Xuan deeper inside.

Warm sunlight filtered through the canopy of the towering trees, the chirping of insects and birds was endless, and from time to time, fearless Pet Beasts would dart out and run through the ranks of Beast Taming Class 1.

These Pet Beasts were like celebrities; every time they brazenly walked through the group, they would elicit cheers from everyone.

Pan Xuan stopped at the base of a towering tree.

Following Pan Xuan's gaze, everyone noticed a group of Pet Beasts resembling giant beavers working frantically, trying to gnaw through this massive tree that couldn't be encircled by ten people.

Pan Xuan unceremoniously grabbed a giant beaver beside him, ignoring its dissatisfied struggling, and asked the students a question.

"What kind of Pet Beast is this?"

"Iron-Toothed Giant Beaver!"

Someone quickly answered the question.

Pan Xuan nodded, lifted the sturdy Iron-Toothed Giant Beaver with its shiny brown fur, and showed the students its exceptionally wide, iron-hard incisors.

"The Iron-Toothed Giant Beaver is not only adept at gnawing, but its flat, powerful, oar-shaped tail also possesses lethality, making it the best Pet Beast for unleashing the Tail Whip skill!"

Pan Xuan put the Iron-Toothed Giant Beaver down.

The Iron-Toothed Giant Beaver glared at him in dissatisfaction, wiggled its hemispherical body back to its workstation, and continued gnawing on that towering tree.

The other giant beavers in the colony continued to gnaw tirelessly at the tree trunk, as if they hadn't noticed one Pet Beast was missing.

"Use the skill, Tail Whip!"

Pan Xuan shouted at the Iron-Toothed Giant Beaver.

The Iron-Toothed Giant Beaver ignored him completely, leaving Pan Xuan standing there while it continued to diligently gnaw on the tree trunk.

Everyone in Beast Taming Class 1 burst into laughter.

Pan Xuan poked the Iron-Toothed Giant Beaver's butt, causing it to wiggle its body in annoyance and turn around to glare at him.

He said again: "Tail Whip!"

The Iron-Toothed Giant Beaver understood this time; its flat, oar-shaped tail glowed, and it swept horizontally toward the thick tree trunk.

The Tail Whip skill made the Iron-Toothed Giant Beaver's tail hard and sharp, striking the tree trunk and causing it to splinter, with shattered wood chips flying everywhere.

The other Iron-Toothed Giant Beavers were hit by the wood chips and roared at this one in dissatisfaction, voicing strong protests.

This Iron-Toothed Giant Beaver was even more dissatisfied with Pan Xuan.

"Chi-chi-chi—!"

It angrily complained about Pan Xuan.

Pan Xuan gave an awkward laugh and led the students of Beast Taming Class 1 in a hasty retreat, looking rather disheveled.

Not until they were far away from the territory of the Iron-Toothed Giant Beavers did the group slowly stop and listen to Pan Xuan's explanation.

"Most Pet Beasts have their own way of life and do not specifically reject humans, so we try our best not to harm these little guys unless necessary. However, that does not rule out some dangerous Pet Beasts that attack humans!"

Pan Xuan's demonstration was the best proof.

Mo Yu suddenly squatted down, struggled to move a huge rock, and grabbed a palm-sized baby Steel-Toothed Rat.

The Steel-Toothed Rat was startled awake from its sleep. Seeing the overturned rock and Mo Yu holding it, it was immediately furious.

"Ouch!"

The Steel-Toothed Rat bit down hard on Mo Yu's hand, causing him so much pain that he hurriedly flung the Steel-Toothed Rat away and jumped a meter high on the spot.

Seeing its Beast Tamer jumping in pain, the Nether Horse had not a shred of sympathy in its mismatched eyes, only naked mockery.

The flung Steel-Toothed Rat crawled back, stood up, and roared at Mo Yu, as if to say the matter wasn't over yet.

Pan Xuan shook his head helplessly.

"Look, this is the consequence of destroying a Pet Beast's nest!"

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Mo Yu's palm had been bitten open by the Steel-Toothed Rat. While firmly pinching the bleeding wound, he was chased all over the place by the Steel-Toothed Rat.

There was no helping it; he was indeed in the wrong!

Every time he hid behind a classmate, that classmate would hurriedly move out of the way, making it easier for the Steel-Toothed Rat to continue chasing Mo Yu.

The Steel-Toothed Rat was not timid at all.

The human and the rat engaged in a chase around the group.

Xu Qingfang and Yue Yun stood on the side, enjoying the sight of Mo Yu's disheveled state, and didn't forget to chatter away.

"It's a good thing it's a baby Steel-Toothed Rat. If it were an adult Fire Rat or Lightning Rat, he would be done for!"

"Disturbing someone's sleep and then overturning their house—he deserves it!"

That was what they said.

As brothers who had been through life and death together, the two still chose to extend a helping hand to Mo Yu, deploying the nemesis of rodent Pet Beasts.

"I choose you, Miao Sang!"

Yue Yun shouted and threw Miao Sang out.

Forced to wake up, Miao Sang was still a bit dazed, but when it caught a glimpse of the Steel-Toothed Rat, it instantly sobered up. Like a furry orange meteor streaking across the sky, it accurately pounced on and pinned down the Steel-Toothed Rat.

The pinned-down Steel-Toothed Rat saw Miao Sang and was instantly dominated by instinctive fear, trembling with fright.

"Wow, that substitute fighter is awesome!"

Mo Yu was finally able to catch his breath.

A female student walked out from the group. Her Pet Beast, which looked like a large goose, spread its wings, and a pure aura of life quickly spread, healing Mo Yu's bitten palm as if it had never been injured.

Mo Yu forgot the pain once the wound healed and started acting cocky again.

"Hehe, little rat, you're not up to the task!"

The Steel-Toothed Rat ignored him; the fear brought by Miao Sang was far stronger than its anger, filling its tiny rat brain.

"Let it go!"

Yue Yun casually moved the rock back to its original place and laughingly scooped up the spirited Miao Sang: "We still have to continue our journey!"

The Steel-Toothed Rat felt as if it had received a pardon, hurriedly crawling under the rock to hide, with no spare time to continue chasing Mo Yu.

The group walked deeper into the Secret Realm, laughing and joking.
