Chapter 106: Scorching Desert

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Yang and Ning Xing came to the reception hall on time.

At this time, the reception hall was already surrounded by 25 students who participated in the summer camp.

Except for Ning Xing, the rest of the people are all amateur sixth-dan.

Chu Yao moved two large round tables from nowhere and placed them in the hall.

The round table was filled with a variety of dishes in disposable plastic boxes.

"Everyone is here, please sit down, the conditions are poor, overcome it." Chu Yao stood between the two tables, holding a bottle of fresh orange, filling the cup with juice, and said,

"In the past, the summer camps of your seniors were either to go abroad for exchanges, or to go to some secret places that were relatively old and well-developed."

"Our session is different, everyone comes to the new secret realm this time, although the conditions are difficult, but it can be said to be very rare."

"First, a new secret realm, representing the emergence of new varieties of spirit beasts and spiritual materials, the scientific research value in this, I don't need to say more."

"Second, because the activities of this summer camp are dangerous, in order to make up for everyone, the school leaders will add a small lottery between the two teams under the condition of ensuring everyone's safety."

"What lottery?" A classmate asked curiously.

"An opportunity to go abroad for exchange and study and a 10w yuan scholarship."

Exchange abroad!

The student at the table made a sound of surprise.

The exchange abroad that Chu Yao said was not as simple as people from the two schools sitting down and talking, but the exchange of high-quality spirit beasts cultivated between the two schools.

These spirit beasts are all above level C.

The spirit animals that come back from the exchange are often handed over to the exchange students themselves for cultivation.

You can even learn a special spiritual skill and spiritual skill from the other school.

Therefore, the number of exchange places allocated to each department is very scarce every year.

This is a rare opportunity!

"You also saw on the way here, the disaster brought by the arrival of the secret realm, I think, each of you has a lot of energy in your heart, and you want to go to the secret realm to punish those barbaric and brutal spirit beasts, but don't be impatient."

"There are some precautions that I still have to explain to you clearly."

"After entering the secret realm, you will be broken up into a three-person team, led by a teacher from our school."

"Remember, these teachers are not babysitters, but will ask you to complete the quest with him."

"The teacher will score you according to your performance in the exploration process, and finally summarize it after two months, and the top 4 with the highest scores will have an exchange place."

"There is a huge difference in temperature between morning and evening in the secret realm, wait for each of you to go to the back warehouse to get a warm suit."

"Remember, you must listen to the teacher in the secret realm, don't run around, this is a secret realm that has not yet been fully explored, and there will be great dangers at all times."

"Although I said that the school will try its best to ensure your safety, accidents can happen at any time, and at that time, you must not leave the teacher, and saving your life is the most important thing."

"That's all that needs to be said, come on, let's fill up the drink and have a drink together." Chu Yao lifted the quilt full of oranges and said loudly,

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

Because of the special environment, it is not suitable for drinking, let alone laughing.

After everyone had eaten, everyone briefly introduced themselves, and after Chu Yao talked about some interesting things about Mizuki's life, they disbanded and returned to the dormitory to rest.

……

At half past eight the next morning, 25 people from the second team of the battle department assembled at the door of the space crack.

To make it easier to distinguish them, they all changed into costumes with the Mizuki logo on them, wore goggles to prevent glare from the light, and carried luggage.

"Are you ready?" Chu Yao shouted.

"Ready!" 25 people said in unison.

"Enter!" Chu Yao waved his hand and took the lead in stepping into the secret realm.

This is the third time Yu Yang has entered the secret realm.

Unlike the previous two secret realms, the light that filled the cracks in the scorching desert space was yellow, and the size of the cracks was also a little larger than the previous misty valley.

Yu Yang followed the previous classmate and stepped into the spatial rift.

The next second,

A breeze is blowing.

In the distance, thick tree trunks obscured the view.

He looked up at the heavens.

Above the head, it is covered by huge branches and leaves that obscure the sky and the sun.

Sunlight shines through the dense foliage, casting large patches of light on the sandy floor.

Nearby, there are houses made of composite materials, large and small.

There are more beast masters than the Misty Valleys, walking between houses and roads.

The temperature, which is only slightly higher than the outside, is still in the acceptable range.

Chu Yao saw everyone's doubts and explained, "Is it different from the scene you imagined?" ”

He pointed to the staggered branches and leaves above and the thick brown and yellow trunks in the distance, and said proudly:

"Our latest technology in Huaxia, combined with the spiritual materials of the secret realm and the research of psionic technology, is suitable for growing in the secret realm of giant fast-growing trees!"

"We gave it a mythical name - Jianmu!"

The ancients said: "Under the building wood, there is no shadow in the sun, and there is no sound in the breath, covering the heaven and the earth." ”

"It's simply breathtaking......

Yu Yang's eyes widened.

He had never seen the legendary Jianmu, but the huge trees in front of him, which were more magnificent than the tall buildings, left a deep impression on his mind.

"Because of the existence of Jianmu, we can resist the violent sandstorm outside!"

From the arrival of the secret realm to the present, it is only a few months for humans to be able to construct such a huge group of building trees near the spatial rift, which has to be amazing.

"Everybody come with me." Chu Yao waved the flag in his hand and led them to the vicinity of the camp belonging to Shuimu.

At the gate of Shuimu's camp, everyone lined up, Chu Yao held a piece of paper, stood in front, and said to everyone: "Next, I will announce everyone's leading teacher." ”

"The classmates who read their names came to me."

"Xu Yinghua, Wei Jun, Ran Yuanyuan......"

“……”

Chu Yao read more than a dozen names in a row, and finally read Yu Yang's name.

"Sun Lulu, Ning Xing, Yu Yang, Li Qiaoyun, ......"

The four people whose names were read walked up to Chu Yao.

Because Ning Xing was the only non-sixth-stage beast master in the team, his strength would be slightly weaker, so Chu Yao assigned him to Yu Yang's group.

Sun Lulu is a petite and ordinary-looking girl.

Li Qiaoyun is tall, and there is a heroic aura similar to Ouyang Lingyu between her eyebrows.

"Chu Yao and Sun Lulu's strength will be relatively weak, so I will divide the four of you into a group, which is fair to everyone." Chu Zhenyao explained to the four of them, as well as the rest.

"Your leading teacher is in Area B, Building 6, Room 3, just follow the signs in the camp, his name is Wu Zhenyao, go ahead."

"Yes."

Yu Yang and the others thanked Chu Yao, walked into Shuimu's camp, and came to Building B-6 according to the signs inserted on the road.

It is a small three-story building made of creamy white composite materials, and room 6 is on the second floor.

The four of them glanced at each other, all a little hesitant, Yu Yang shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, I'll go ahead." ”

Pedaling up to the second floor, Yu Yang stood in front of Room 6 and knocked on the door.

Knock knock knock~

"Enter."

Behind the door, a man's soft voice was heard.

Pushing the door in, the furnishings in the room were similar to the dormitory where Yu Yang lived in the Misty Valley.

A heavily armed man, standing in front of them.

Goggles, sun-protective clothing, sand masks......

The man is about 1.8 meters tall, he can't see his face clearly, and his voice is very young.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, so I'll briefly introduce myself."

"My name is Wu Zhenyao, and I am currently a teacher in the battle department of Mizuki University, and I am a professional seventh-dan, so it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Next, tell me your name, age, mental power level, and contract beast strength."

"Hello Mr. Wu, my name is Yu Yang, 19 years old, amateur sixth stage, the contract beast is a warrior-level silver moon cat and a reserve-level fog ape."

“…… My name is Ning Xing, 18 years old, amateur seventh-stage, contract beast is a special spiritual weapon, and the strength of the reserve level. ”

Ning Xing took out the silver phoenix from his arms.

“…… My name is Sun Lulu, 18 years old, amateur sixth-stage, contract beast is a warrior-level forest spirit, a reserve-level jade butterfly. ”

“…… My name is Li Qiaoyun, 18 years old, amateur sixth-stage, contract beast is a warrior-level dark owl, a reserve-level shadow cat. ”

When Yu Yang heard this, he was also slightly shocked in his heart.

These two girls, the initial qualifications of the contract beast are all C-level.

To a certain extent, it means that the elders in their families cannot be ordinary people.

"Hmm...... Understand. Wu Zhenyao nodded, did not make an evaluation, but said, "Let's go, take you to the dormitory." ”

He took the four of them to the upper floor, pointed to the two rooms, and said, "The two-person room is in poor condition, so it's hard work." ”

"Don't get in the way...... don't get in the way" Yu Yang went in to observe, and the layout was similar to Wu Zhenyao's room, but it was squeezed a little and two beds were placed.

"If you have anything you want to put in, you can put it in first, and we'll leave right away." Wu Zhenyao glanced at his watch.

"Immediately?!" Sun Lulu was taken aback.

"I've been waiting for you for a day, and now I have to go." Wu Zhenyao said lightly.

Except for a few sets of clothes that Yu Yang had in the suitcase, the other spiritual materials for the spirit beasts to eat and drink were all placed in the subspace, but there was nothing to put in them.

A few minutes later, the two girls also put away their luggage, which they didn't need for the time being.

Each person carried a large travel bag containing some clothing, water, dry food and some emergency supplies.

Just in case, Yu Yang stuffed a lot of food in the subspace bag before leaving.

"Let's go!"

After the four of them assembled, Wu Zhenyao waved his hand and walked outside the camp.

When I walked to the gate of the camp, a girl with a delicate appearance, an intellectual temperament, and a ball head tied came over.

Wu Zhenyao gestured to her and said to Yu Yang and the others, "She is my deputy." ”

"Hello students, my name is Li Yan'er, I am a first-year doctoral student in the Department of Spiritual Materials Research of our school, and I am a nine-stage professional student."

"Hello senior sister!"

After getting to know each other, everyone walked on the road to the exit of Jianmu Forest, and Wu Zhenyao began to explain the itinerary planning of this exploration to the students.

"This time, our goal is to explore the area north of the spatial rift and deep in the desert, in order to find out if there are new varieties of spirit beasts, spirit materials, relics, landforms, and biological population distribution, and if possible, try to explore the extreme area of the secret realm."

"Li Yan'er is responsible for the collection and identification of samples of spiritual materials."

"You are responsible for drawing a topographic map and removing miscellaneous fish and spirit animals."

"I'm in charge of cleaning up lord-level creatures and keeping you safe."

"The estimated exploration time is tentatively set for one month, subject to the progress of exploration."

"I'll score you based on the completion of the terrain map you finally sketched and the level of the battle you played along the way to explore."

"Got it?"

"Got it!" The crowd shouted.

"Teacher Wu, do you mean the relics of spirit beasts, or do you refer to ...... Remnants of human activity? Ning Xing asked coldly.

"Remnants of human activity?!" Yu Yang raised his eyebrows.

"Looks like you know a lot, all of them."

Yu Yang guessed that Ning Xing knew the information from his aunt, and couldn't help but ask:

"In the newly descended secret realm, there are also remnants of human activity?"

"Yes."

"Thirty years ago, two secret realms descended on Huaxia, and when the beast masters explored one of them, they found traces of human activity."

"It is speculated that the humans who came to that secret place were about tens of thousands of years old."

Wu Zhenyao said slowly, word by word: "We call that secret realm - mountains and seas. ”

"Mountains and seas ......," Yu Yang muttered to himself.

In the encyclopedia of secret realms, the secret realm of mountains and seas is listed as one of the few friendly secret realms in China.

"Moreover, people have found that secret realms are not immobile, and some secret realms will disappear into the main world over time, and then appear again at a certain time, repeatedly, showing periodic changes."

"Not only will the phenomenon of the advent of the secret realm and the main world of mankind occur, but there will also be this phenomenon between the secret realm and the secret realm."

"Therefore, when the Beast Masters explore the secret realm, there is a small chance that they will find a spatial crack leading to other secret realms and leave traces there."

"You have learned the knowledge of secret realms, you should know that in our country, there are some ancient secret realms, which have a history of thousands of years from their advent to the present."

"In the long river of history, some people hid in secret places in order to escape the war, multiplied in it, and gave birth to offspring."

"The descendants of the spirit beasts continue to explore the secret realm, here, you may encounter the spatial rift between the secret realms I just mentioned."

"No one knows how many people are scattered in the secret realm, and how many people run into the spatial cracks."

"Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Wu Zhenyao walked to Jianmu's huge trunk and stood still.

"Teacher, are you saying that the secret realm that we are coming to now is very likely to be a secret realm that appeared and disappeared in ancient times, so there will be traces of human activities? The same is true of mountains and seas? Yu Yang seems to understand whether he understands or not.

Yu Yang looked at the expressions of the others, and they all looked very calm, only he didn't know this knowledge.

He couldn't help but sigh at the importance of circles.

"That's right!" Wu Zhenyao looked at the yellow sand in the distance through Jianmu's torso, and said with a serious expression,

"The three secret realms that have come this time are most likely of this type, and our exploration mission is very meaningful."

As they spoke, they walked around Jianmu's massive torso, and through the gap between them, stepped out of the confines of the human station.

Fang Yi stepped out.

A strong storm swept in with heat and yellow sand.

Whew~Whew~Whew~

As far as the eye can see, there is rolling yellow sand.

He looked up at the sky.

A round of stars in the sky emitted a dazzling white light, scorching the earth wildly.

Thanks to Yu Yang wearing goggles, otherwise his eyes would have fallen into a temporary blindness with a slight glance.

It was too big, too bright, a quarter larger than the Sun as seen on the Blue Star.

Yu Yang felt that the temperature of his body surface had risen sharply, and the current temperature had reached 45°C through the multi-function watch display on his wrist.

It is no wonder that the selection line for the summer camp is set at the amateur sixth dan, and ordinary people come here with a very low survival rate.

As for Ning Xing, he is because of the special spirit beast, he can protect himself at all times.

Only when he goes outside can he appreciate the current development speed of human beings, and even China.

In the middle of the desert wasteland, a sprawling camp oasis has been built to block the endless yellow sand storms.

"You don't seem to have a contract beast that can walk, sit on mine."

As a beast master, exploring the secret realm will naturally not be stupid to measure the earth with your feet.

Naturally, it is necessary to give full play to the ability of the beast.

It's a pity that Yu Yang's two contract beasts can't travel now.

Xi Xi can be bigger, but it is not an endurance-type spirit beast that has been running for a long time at all, and its speed will slow down when it grows larger.

Endless sandstorms blow the earth all the time, and flying into the sky is definitely not enough.

The visual field affects too much.

Moreover, if you fly at low altitude, you are simply a live target for the spirit beast on the ground, if you don't have the strength to stand out from the crowd, it's best not to fly.

Flying at high altitude, there will be flying spirit beast activities at high altitude, there is a risk of being attacked, and if you are at high altitude and can't see the ground clearly, then you can't explore the biological population.

Wu Zhenyao's side, two spirit beasts suddenly appeared.

One is a desert lizard dragon that is bigger than two buses side by side.

The scales on the desert lihzahrd's body are similar in color to their surroundings, showing a sandy color.

It has four stout legs like pillars, a long tail, and several sharp horns crisscrossing its head.

Dozens of spikes, from the center of the back of its head to its tail.

"Go up, release all your contract beasts, and keep up with the changes in the surrounding environment."

This desert lizard dragon was lying on its stomach, the distance from the ground to its back was three meters high, and it was quite difficult to climb, and Teacher Wu Zhenyao seemed to be testing them.

He walked over to the desert dragon's tail, stroked its tail gently, and apologized to the giant beast.

Then he jumped on the desert dragon's tail and stabilized himself with a bone spur in one hand, while climbing onto its broad back and sitting down on its long spikes.

The others drew scoops on gourds and sat on the backs of the desert lizards.

Wu Zhenyao was riding his other spirit beast alone.

A tall horse covered in pitch black, more than two meters tall, with dark red flames burning on its tail and four hooves.

"You're so handsome." Seeing this handsome black horse, Yu Yang's eyes showed envy.

Hell Wuqi, a precious spirit beast with an initial qualification of B.

Like Yu Yang and the others, Li Yan'er climbed onto the back of the desert lizard dragon.

"First stop, Outpost 18, let's go!"

Wu Zhenyao let out a soft snort, and the desert lizard dragon moved its thick limbs and crawled quickly on the desert.

There is always a phased target location for exploration.

The first stop on their trip was Outpost 18, the northeast of humanity's current exploration, at the forefront of human exploration of the scorching desert.

Estimated time of arrival, 3 days.

Sitting on the desert lizard dragon, Yu Yang and the others were not idle, and released their respective contract beasts one after another.

The desert lizard dragon was running at a fast speed, he estimated that it must be seventy miles, and Wu Zhenyao did not order it to release its shield to avoid the sandstorm.

The howling wind slapped wildly on Yu Yang's face, and if he hadn't grabbed the desert dragon bone spurs, he would have been blown away by the storm long ago.

Obviously, Wu Zhenyao is testing the students again.

"Phew!" Yu Yang spit out a mouthful of sand through the sand mask, and communicated with Xi Xi with his spiritual power, "Xi Xi, try to build a barrier in front of me to block the wind." ”

Meow~

Xi Xi hung on Yu Yang's clothes with her paws, and her whole body fluttered in the wind like a flag.

Its meow was blown away by the wind, and its body lit up with a silvery-white brilliance, and it stabilized its body and came to the front of Yu Yang.

Within a few seconds, a light white light curtain as thin as a cicada's wings appeared in front of Yu Yang, blocking the oncoming wind and sand.

Xi Xi hadn't learned a special protective spirit technique, it was just a simple use of star power.

Ning Xing held the silver phoenix in his hand, and several criss-crossing silver threads appeared in front of him, blocking the storm.

Sun Lulu released his forest spirit, and a faint green light enveloped her.

Li Qiaoyun's contract beast is more interesting, it is a fat dark owl, simply put, a round-faced fat chicken-owl.

Unlike ordinary owls, its coat is pitch black, with only a pair of brass pupils of a different color.

The round-faced fat chicken flapped its wings, and suddenly the black fog around Li Qiaoyun lingered.

"Oops! Chubby, you've interfered with my vision like this! Li Qiaoyun said angrily.

Goomi~

The round-faced fat chicken squealed aggrievedly, indicating that his shadow energy was like this.

Senior Sister Li Yan'er behaved the most relaxed, her contract beast was an aura elf with initial C-level qualifications.

The small one of the Spiritual Elves, the size of a palm, with skin as white as jade, and two pairs of translucent, fluorescent wings growing, and the appearance is nine points similar to that of humans.

It sat on Li Yan'er's shoulder, and there was no movement, and as soon as the oncoming storm blew beside her, it disappeared into invisibility.

On the other side, without the interference of the storm, Yu Yang immediately began to observe the surrounding environment, took out a special pen and paper, and imprinted the terrain and landforms of the place he passed in his mind.

The sand and gravel were everywhere, and the vision was very poor, and Yu Yang could only look and guess.

Although it was said that the exploration work would not start until after the outpost, Wu Zhenyao did not say that the assessment started at that time, maybe now.

Yu Yang, just in case, when the desert lizard dragon traveled every ten kilometers, he would scale out and record everything he saw on a piece of paper.

And with the attack of the desert lizard dragon, Yu Yang began to see traces of biological activity at the end of his sight......
