Stop pretending, the seemingly useless junior sister is the real boss.

When Bai Xiaobai woke up again, the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Xuanhu's big head.

She blinked, and only after confirming several times that the head above her was indeed Xuanhu's somewhat silly-looking head did she feel relieved.

Then, remembering that he seemed to have heard something about a secret realm or a ferocious beast, he belatedly asked Xuanhu.

"Little Tiger, where are we? Were you also sucked in by that glowing spring?"

Xuanhu was also frustrated. It had originally planned to leave immediately after dealing with the Xuantian Python.

But during its fight with the Xuan Tian Python, a glowing spring appeared under a boulder that had been shattered inside the cave.

It had never seen a spring that glowed before, and driven by curiosity, it wanted to see what was going on with the glowing spring.

But as soon as it got close, it was sucked here by the enormous suction force.

Moreover, the aura within this "Secret Realm of Ferocious Beasts" is truly terrifying and powerful.

Therefore, it dared not make any rash moves and lingered near the spot where it had regained consciousness, trying to see if there was a way out.

But instead of finding a way out, they encountered Bai Xiaobai.

You know, the ancestor of the Qingxiao Sect is really special. The trial ground that makes all the disciples tremble with fear—the "Ferocious Beast Secret Realm"—is actually hidden in a cave in the Monster Forest.

Moreover, as far as he knew, apart from Ling Tian, ​​the genius disciple of Xiaoyao Peak, very few disciples who entered this "Ferocious Beast Secret Realm" had managed to come out alive.

Just hearing the words "Secret Realm of Ferocious Beasts" is enough to tell you that this place is not a good one.

Moreover, leaving this "beast's secret realm" is by no means easy.

However, the guardian spirit beast that he was originally going to leave the sect accidentally wandered in.

And now there's an extra burden on my side.

Xuanhu was very depressed.

So there's something it doesn't know whether it should say or not: it seems that ever since it met Bai Xiaobai, the little princess of the spirit world, it has had a lot of bad luck.

First, she broke into Lingxiao Peak at night and poisoned Li Qingshan, the sect leader, which caused Li Qingshan, who had nowhere to vent his anger, to beat her up in a fit of rage.

Later, she wanted to leave the sect, but unexpectedly, she accidentally entered the "Secret Realm of Ferocious Beasts" because of her.

Seeing that Xuanhu had its head drooping and looked like it wanted to say something but couldn't, Bai Xiaobai tilted its head and asked it.

"Little Tiger, what's wrong? I heard voices saying this place is some kind of ferocious beast or secret realm. Do you know where we are?"

Xuanhu sighed helplessly in his heart.

Where else can we go? We've reached dangerous territory.

Well, we've come this far. Now, if we want to get out, we can only complete the task according to the rules.

So it explained to Bai Xiaobai what exactly this "Secret Realm of Ferocious Beasts" was.

"We accidentally stumbled into the 'Beast Realm,' which was originally a trial realm prepared by the sect for Golden Core Realm disciples who urgently needed to break through. It is full of extremely ferocious beasts. Most of these beasts attacked mortal tribes and slaughtered and devoured many mortals. Moreover, there are also many fourth-order demonic beasts in this realm."

"To leave this place, we must kill ten ferocious beasts imprisoned here before we can use the demon core to escape. Now that you and I have entered this secret realm, it means we need to kill twenty ferocious beasts to leave this place completely."

"Most importantly, once you enter the secret realm, you are responsible for your own life and death. Therefore, only late-stage Golden Core disciples who have encountered obstacles in their cultivation will voluntarily come to the secret realm to cultivate. But as far as I know, since the establishment of this secret realm, no more than twenty people have entered it on their own, but only one person has come out alive."

Bai Xiaobai felt like the sky had fallen when she heard this.

That survival rate is way too low.

Moreover, there was even a fourth-tier ferocious beast, which meant it was about as strong as the Xuanhu.

They want to kill twenty more? How is that possible?

So all she's doing is cultivating immortality, can't we just not be so dramatic?

Why are crises coming at her one after another?

Damn it, she was just planning to use the fourth-tier spirit beast Xuanhu to her advantage and move freely through the demon beast forest.

Now that we've reached the "Mysterious Realm of Ferocious Beasts," even Xuanhu himself isn't necessarily safe.

Both the snake and the tiger fell silent.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Xiaobai had a sudden inspiration.

Instead of passively waiting for a crisis to strike, it's better to take the initiative to resolve it.

Twenty ferocious beasts is a bit too many. But there's no requirement that they have to be fourth-tier; any ferocious beast from this beast-infested secret realm should count.

Since the fourth-tier ones are difficult to deal with, we might as well start with the weaker ones.

So she said to Xuanhu, "Brother Hu, how about we try a sting operation?"

Xuanhu scratched its large head with its big paw in confusion. "Entrapment? What's entrapment?"

Bai Xiaobai beckoned it to shrink its body a little, then moved closer and continued.

"We'll set traps and snares to lure out some weaker ferocious beasts and kill them. As long as we gather twenty, we can get out."

After hearing Bai Xiaobai's explanation, Xuanhu suddenly understood.

"I see, that makes sense. We can give it a try."

The snake and the tiger hit it off immediately.

"Alright, Brother Tiger, quickly release your divine sense to explore the surroundings. See where there are any weaker ferocious beasts so we can prepare."

Although his voice was still a soft, sweet baby voice, Xuanhu felt that calling the other person a burden was a bit too much.

It immediately released its divine sense and quickly obtained results.

"Thirty miles away, there are several ferocious beasts with strength around the third tier. They should be rock-armored wild boars, about five in total."

Bai Xiaobai has climbed back onto Xuanhu's back.

She whispered to Xuanhu, "Little Tiger, I'll distract them later. You hide and conceal your presence. Once they're within your attack range, then make your move. Also, make sure to keep a low profile and don't attract other ferocious beasts."

Xuanhu was surprised that Bai Xiaobai would actually take the initiative to act as bait, and immediately retracted his thought that Bai Xiaobai was a burden.

The snake and tiger concealed their presence and quietly made their way towards the rock-armored wild boar.

Before long, they arrived near the rock-armored wild boar.

Bai Xiaobai's vision has improved a lot now. Even from a distance of nearly ten zhang, he can see the true appearance of those rock-armored wild boars.

She thought they were just a few wild boars; even if they were ferocious beasts, they shouldn't be too scary.

But when she saw the rock-armored wild boar, with its body as large as a small mountain and tusks several meters long, she was completely stunned.

They were several times larger than the giant bears she had seen before. Most importantly, these rock-armored boars were actually sharing a ferocious beast that was even larger than themselves.

The scene was too bloody and horrific for Bai Xiaobai to bear watching any longer.

So she volunteered to be the bait, but she overestimated herself and underestimated her opponent.
