With three supreme masters, they were invincible upon descending the mountain.

A flash of light.

When Ye Yaocheng and Wang Shiyu opened their eyes and saw the scene in the secret realm, they were both stunned.

Before me was a world so bright it was almost unbelievable.

Sunlight filters through the dense foliage, casting dappled shadows on the ground. The air is so fresh it's intoxicating; taking a breath feels like a spiritual uplift.

There are waterfalls in the mountains, and the flowers are in full bloom.

It's like entering a secluded paradise where no one can disturb you, allowing you to forget all your troubles and pain.

"this……"

Ye Yaocheng was stunned for several seconds before he reacted: "This is a small world?!"

He muttered to himself, "This secret realm seems to be a complete small world."

And it's not an ordinary small world.

With spiritual energy so concentrated, the creator of this world must have possessed power far beyond his comprehension.

His three masters had mentioned the situation of the small world to him, but that level was probably already beyond the realm of mortals and had reached the realm of gods.

But the world before me is too big, so big that it makes me feel uneasy, like a dream.

"You brat!" Wang Shiyu turned her head, glaring at him angrily. "Didn't you say this place was scary? Didn't you say there was a big demon here?"

She pointed around: "What's going on here?"

"You're not lying to your sister, are you?"

As he spoke, his hand reached out, ready to pinch Ye Yaocheng's ear.

Ye Yaocheng quickly dodged to the side, explaining as he did so, "No, no, no! I really didn't lie to you!"

"Master Huijiang said it himself, and I also felt that heart-palpitating sensation when I entered the mouth. I'm innocent, Lao Di."

"And now?" Wang Shiyu stopped and looked around. "Where is the demon? Where is the danger?"

Ye Yaocheng was speechless.

He was puzzled. He clearly felt it at the entrance, and his intuition was definitely right, but now everything he was seeing felt very real.

"Forget it." Wang Shiyu turned around, too lazy to argue with him. "Let's look for something good first. If we keep chatting, all the treasures will be snatched up."

Ye Yaocheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, but many doubts remained in his mind.

Huijiang had no reason to lie to him, and her own intuition wouldn't be wrong.

Then why is everything I see before me so different?

He shook his head, stopping himself from thinking about it; what was meant to happen would happen.

Now, let's gather resources.

It has to be said that the resources here are frighteningly abundant.

The area is rich in spiritual energy, and because no one has set foot there for many years, all kinds of vegetation grow large and lush.

Ye Yaocheng walked for less than ten minutes before he spotted a bright green plant.

The leaves are slender with clear veins and emit a faint fluorescent glow.

"Rejuvenating Herb!"

His eyes lit up.

This is a wonderful thing; it has miraculous effects on repairing injuries and restoring one's vital essence.

Although it has limited effect on his fundamental loss caused by the absence of the Supreme Bone, every little bit helps.

Moreover, this thing has almost disappeared outside.

"Little brother, do you recognize this herb?"

Wang Shiyu leaned closer and asked curiously.

"certainly."

Ye Yaocheng puffed out his chest with a hint of pride: "You forgot, I know how to make medicine."

Wang Shiyu nodded in sudden realization, then a happy smile appeared on her lips.

That smile made Ye Yaocheng's heart tremble.

"I know you understand," she winked, then said coquettishly, "but have you ever thought about why I even asked?"

Ye Yaocheng swallowed hard: "Why...why?"

Wang Shiyu smiled even more sweetly: "Of course, it's because my dear brother will definitely help me find it."

Ye Yaocheng sighed, realizing he'd been tricked again.

What can we do now?

Go ahead and look for it.

Ye Yaocheng resigned himself to his fate and began working like a beast of burden, though the resources here were indeed abundant.

In less than half an hour, the two found seven or eight precious medicinal herbs and more than a dozen rare medicinal plants.

These items are almost extinct outside, and once they are taken out, they will definitely be snapped up instantly.

Wang Shiyu smiled so hard her eyes curved into crescent moons. She held the medicinal herbs, looking as happy as a little girl.

"Great! With these medicinal herbs, plus my brat's alchemy skills, I can totally start my own company!"

"Then we won't have to put up with the attitudes of those stubborn old men in the family anymore!"

She became happier and happier as she thought about it, completely unaware that Ye Yaocheng's face had darkened beside her.

I said…

He muttered a complaint under his breath, "I'm the one doing all the work, can't you at least address me nicely?"

Wang Shiyu glanced at him and waved her hand: "It's not like I'm not going to reward you."

"Hurry up and get to work!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ye Yaocheng sighed and continued searching.

"Hehehe!"

Just then, a strange laugh suddenly rang out.

A disheveled, burly man emerged from behind a tree.

He had a full beard, his clothes were tattered, and his eyes were cloudy.

His gaze lingered on the medicinal herbs in Ye Yaocheng's hand for a few seconds.

Then his gaze fell on Wang Shiyu, scanning her from head to toe. His eyes instantly turned greedy and fiery, like a hungry wolf eyeing meat.

The slovenly burly man grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth: "Kid, hand over the medicinal herbs in your hand, and the woman behind you."

"If I'm having a good time, I might spare your life."

Ye Yaocheng looked at the other person as if he were an idiot. He had long since noticed that someone was following him, but he was too lazy to care.

I didn't expect this guy to jump out on his own.

"Feed".

Wang Shiyu was immediately displeased: "I'm from the Wang family in the provincial capital. Are you sure you want to make a move?"

Although she disliked the Wang family, she figured she might as well use them now.

Sure enough, the disheveled man's expression changed for a moment, but he quickly regained his greed.

"The Wang family?"

He sneered, his face contorted with malice: "This is a secret realm, there are no surveillance cameras, no witnesses!"

"Once I'm done having fun, I'll kill you all here. Who'll know it was me?"

Ye Yaocheng and Wang Shiyu exchanged a glance, communicating with their eyes.

The meaning is simple: who would take on this idiot?

The slovenly burly man was completely oblivious to the exchange of glances between the two and continued talking to himself.

"Heaven has been kind to me."

His eyes were unfocused, as if recalling something: "I never expected that I would run into such a rare gem right after escaping from the fasting place."

He stared at Wang Shiyu, his mouth practically watering: "After being locked up inside for so many years, I've almost forgotten what a woman tastes like."

"Today, we must try something new."

Wang Shiyu couldn't take it anymore. She was about to make a move when Ye Yaocheng stopped her.

He looked at the disheveled man and suddenly asked, "A fasting place? What's that?"

"Good question!"

The disheveled burly man perked up, straightening his tattered collar: "The Fasting Quarter, the only place in Great Xia where criminals and serious offenders are imprisoned!"

His eyes gleamed with excitement, as if he were sharing a secret:

"When I was arrested back then, I thought my life was over, but unexpectedly, there was an explosion there recently!"

"Guess what?"

"I'm out!"

"Once I find enough resources in the secret realm, I'll soar to the heavens and see who can capture me then!"

Ye Yaocheng couldn't stand this guy anymore and asked calmly, "So, what realm are you at now?"

"Foundation Building!"

The slovenly burly man puffed out his chest, his face beaming with pride: "Just broke through! How about that? Impressive, right?"

"It's too late to beg for mercy now!"

Ye Yaocheng couldn't stand this annoying guy any longer, and unleashed his Golden Core realm aura without reservation!

The pressure of the Nine-Patterned Golden Elixir was like a mountain, pressing down hard on the disheveled giant!

The slovenly man's smile froze instantly, then turned into terror.

"Golden...Golden Core?!"

He screamed and turned to run!

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Ye Yaocheng's calm voice rang out: "In the next life, before you act arrogantly, ask the other party what their strength is."

As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his finger, and a silver needle shot out as a silver ray!

"Whoosh!"

A sharp, piercing sound rang out. The disheveled man tried to dodge, but his body seemed to be nailed to the spot, unable to move at all.

He really wanted to escape, but he couldn't.

He could only watch helplessly as the silver needles magnified in his pupils.

"puff!"

A hole pierced through his forehead, and blood splattered out.

His eyes widened, and he fell straight down.

Ye Yaocheng spat in disgust.

He looked at Wang Shiyu and asked curiously, "Sister Shiyu, do you know anything about fasting?"

Wang Shiyu thought for a moment.

"I've heard it before, but it's similar to what that idiot said, but there's one thing that seems different from what I've heard."

"What?"

Wang Shiyu's eyes were solemn: "The fasting place is heavily guarded, and the facilities are the highest level in the Great Xia Dynasty."

"How could it suddenly explode? How could this kind of trash escape?"

Ye Yaocheng also frowned.

But before he could figure it out, something unexpected happened!

Suddenly, the dense vegetation around us came to life!

Countless thick roots sprouted from the ground, like tentacles, and frantically pounced on the slovenly man's corpse!

"Pfft!"

The roots pierce the corpse, then wrap around it, entangle it, and drag it away!

The whole process took less than three seconds.

The body was dragged into the soil and disappeared without a trace, not even a drop of blood was left.

The ground was restored to its original smoothness, as if nothing had happened.

Ye Yaocheng and Wang Shiyu stood there, feeling cold all over.

They looked at the peaceful ground, and then at the bright world around them.

The sun still shines, the birds still sing.

But in their hearts, only a chill remained.

This world is not some paradise at all.

It is a predator's trap disguised in sunlight.
