Volume 1 Out of the Ring Chapter 10 The Depths of the Secret Realm
In the secret realm, in front of the exit star gate, a black figure walked out of the ancient forest, followed by more than a dozen young men and women in sky blue uniforms.
Yan Zong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the Star Gate in front of him, but he sped up his speed and led the team to the Star Gate.
He turned to face the surviving students and said to the older young man among them, "Qinghe, you take everyone out of the secret realm, go back to the academy directly, and inform Master Song of the situation in the secret realm. ”
The young man who had stood up to encourage everyone under the siege of the Blood Star Swarm before stepped forward and said, "Yes, Master Yan. I'm going to bring everyone back to the academy safely. ”
The young man named Qinghe was one of the most outstanding students of the Blue Academy this year, and he was already an eighth-level star scholar before he was twenty years old. He is humble, suave, and is embraced by his students. Yan Zong was very relieved of him.
After seeing all the students enter the Star Gate and leave the secret realm, Yan Zong recovered his star power in situ and prepared to enter again to support the dean and Old Man Hong.
Yan Zong, who was sitting on the ground with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the jungle with a sharp gaze.
I saw four teams in different costumes walking out of different directions in the forest, and they were all shocked when they saw Yan Zong sitting in front of the Star Gate. The leader of the four families stepped forward and asked with a hug, "Master Yan, why are you here, why haven't you seen Dean Gu and the students of the academy?"
Seeing that it was the team of the four families, Yan Shi breathed a sigh of relief, let down his vigilance, looked at the four team leaders, and said in a deep voice: "We have encountered a swarm of blood star bees. The dean and Master Hong are procrastinating, and I just sent the rescued students out. ”
"Blood Star Swarm!" The leaders of the four families changed color, "There is actually a Blood Star Swarm in this secret realm?" While they were shocked, they were secretly glad that their team had not encountered it.
"We saw the flames in the sky above the direction of the academy, and thought something had happened, so we rushed back immediately. Dean Gu and Master Hong are fine, right?"
"The Dean and Master Hong are so strong that the swarm can't stop them. They are also looking for other students who have strayed. Yan Zong thought of those scattered students and sighed secretly.
The leader of the Su family stepped forward quite eagerly and asked, "Master Yan, has my Su family's Su Lingyu just come out of the secret realm?"
"There is no Su Lingyu in the team I sent away just now. Seeing the change in the face of the leader of the Su family, Yan Zong immediately reassured: "But don't worry, Su Lingyu didn't go all the way with us, she followed Master Hong." Master Hong will definitely put her in a safe place before supporting us. ”
The Su family leader's face only improved slightly, but he was still worried: "If something happens to the Lingyu girl, I won't have the face to go back." ”
"When I regain some star power, I'll go in with you to find it. Yan Zong could only say like this.
"Good!"
Yan Zong suddenly asked, "Didn't you encounter the Blood Star Bee in the secret realm?"
"Nope. Although there are some second-level star beasts encountered, they are not as dangerous as the Blood Star Bee. The four team leaders shook their heads and said.
Yan Zong was silent for a long time, and a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes the moment he lowered his head. He raised his head and looked at the other three team leaders: "What are your plans next?" Among the fifty students who entered the secret realm this time, there were many young children from the four families.
The two team leaders of Zhou Qi shook their heads, "Since the Blood Star Bee has appeared, then we can only go back to avoid unnecessary casualties." I also ask Master Yan, as well as Dean Gu and Master Hong, to meet the disciples of our two families and bring them back safely. ”
Yan Zong nodded: "Yes, this is our responsibility." ”
After saying goodbye to the teams of the two Zhou Qi families, they walked into the Star Gate and exited the secret realm.
The leader of the Xie family sent the team away, stayed behind by himself, looked at Yan Zong and said, "Xie Yunzhi of my Xie family is still inside, I will go in with you." ”
Yan Zong clenched his fist to him: "Thank you!"
The leader of the Su family ordered the Su family's team: "After entering, find Miss Lingyu at all costs and bring her back safely." ”
"Yes!"
After resting for a while, Yan Zong, the single leader of the Xie family, and the leader of the Su family with the team entered the secret jungle again.
In the jungle, Ye Xing and Su Lingyu were running at full speed. Behind them, more than two dozen Blood Star Bees were in hot pursuit.
The blue light surging under Su Lingyu's feet, and he ran lightly and flutteringly, as if he was flying on the ground. Ye Xing is a completely different posture. His legs were strong and explosive, and he ran like a wild beast, making footprints two inches deep on the ground.
Su Lingyu turned his head to look at Ye Xing, and found that he was still carrying the somewhat heavy wooden box, and hurriedly said, "You throw away the wooden box, it will consume a lot of your physical strength." ”
Ye Xing nodded, and was about to throw away the wooden box. He seemed to remember something, and after taking off the wooden box, he didn't rush to throw it away, but took out the two-foot-long, dark cyan azure wood from it, and then threw the remaining wooden box directly behind him. He held Azure wood in his left hand and a long knife in his right hand, maintaining his running speed.
Su Lingyu saw that he was still holding an azure tree, and immediately laughed and said, "Didn't you tell you to throw it away, why are you still holding an azure tree?"
"This azure wood is for you to make a star scepter. ”
Su Lingyu was stunned for a moment, a little happy and a little annoyed: "When are you still thinking about making a star scepter, you can throw it away, and lose the knife too." ”
Ye Xing didn't agree, "It's okay, I have a lot of physical strength, don't be in a hurry to take it first." It's never too late to throw it away. ”
Su Lingyu said that he couldn't move him, so he had to concentrate on running away.
I don't know how long I ran, but the ancient trees in front of me became scarcer and rarer, and gradually entered an open area. Both of them were breathing a little, and they didn't speak again in order to save their strength.
Ye Xing had already lost the piece of azure wood, but he still had the long knife in his hand.
Suddenly, they heard the sound of rushing water, and when the two of them ran closer, they saw a river meandering forward.
Ye Xing's eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "Let's jump into the river, the blood star bee will definitely not know water." ”
"No, don't jump into the river!" Su Lingyu hurriedly stopped him, "This is already the depths of the secret realm, there will definitely be more dangerous star beasts, and there may be danger hidden in the river." ”
The two ran down the riverbank, the Blood Star swarm still following closely behind. Ye Xing's perception found that although the group of blood star bees was walking in the same direction as the two of them, they were quite far away from the river bank, as if there was something in the river that could threaten them. Only then did Ye Xing believe in Su Lingyu's judgment.
A blood star bee close to the river bank was flying forward with the swarm, and suddenly a crimson thing more than ten zhang long, the thickness of a python, and covered with flesh thorns flew out of the river, instantly entangled the blood star bee and dragged it into the river. The rest of the Blood Star Bees suddenly moved some distance away from the river bank again, but they did not stop pursuing.
Ye Xing was suddenly startled, and couldn't help asking, "What is that?"
"Some kind of star beast's tongue. Su Lingyu said with a shocked face.
The two of them hurriedly moved away from the river bank and ran towards the road on the right.
The road on the right was barren, full of sand and gravel, there was not a single plant or tree, and there was not a single insect or beast in sight. The ground was rugged, which slightly affected the speed of Ye Xing and the others. It only took a stick of incense, and because of this effect, the distance between the Blood Star Swarm and the two of them was shortened by a few feet. The two had to increase their speed to avoid being overtaken by the swarm.
A downward slope suddenly appeared in front of them, and Ye Xing and the others hurriedly ran towards the slope. Although the slope is also full of rocks, the descent is always easier. The speed of the two immediately increased, and they distanced themselves from the swarm again.
This downhill road was very long, and Ye Xing and the others ran for two quarters of an hour without seeing the end. The distance between them and the bee colony was getting farther and farther, which made Ye Xing and Su Lingyu can't help but show joy, if this continues, they should be able to get rid of the bee colony.
The slope gradually flattened, and it seemed that it was coming to an end, and the two looked at it, and there seemed to be a valley mouth in front of them. The two of them were about to rush in one go, when they suddenly heard a sharp buzz from behind, and saw that the blood star bee swarm behind them seemed to be stimulated by something, and they flapped their wings hard, and with a quick increase in speed, the distance between them and Ye Xing and the two quickly narrowed.
Ye Xing and the others didn't know why, so they secretly complained to themselves, and hurriedly used their exhausted physical strength to increase their speed and rushed to the mouth of the valley.
Ye Xing's speed dropped, and they almost stopped, staring blankly into the valley.
The valley is so vast that you can't see the horizon. The most bizarre thing is that there are countless potholes in this vast land. Looking inside, it seems that there is no bottom, and I don't know where it leads.
Thinking of the strange reaction of the Blood Star Swarm just now, Su Lingyu's face turned pale and said in a trembling voice: "This ...... This can't be a nest for the Blood Star Bee, right?"
Ye Xing swallowed his saliva, looked at the dense pits, and forced a smile: "We won't be so unlucky, right?
A buzz sounded behind him, and the Blood Star Swarm had caught up. The two had no way out, so they had to rush to the pothole-ridden valley ahead.
There was still a not-so-narrow gap between the wide potholes, which allowed the two of them to walk through the potholes and rush forward.
It's just that the distribution of these potholes is irregular, very irregular, and the path formed by the gaps left is crooked, staggered and horizontal, so that the speed of the two has to be reduced. When Su Lingyu encountered a hole in front of him, he could also use his star power to jump lightly. Ye Xing didn't dare to jump, he couldn't help but consume his physical strength, in case he missed a little or jumped too much, he could only find a gap path and speed up.
"Why don't these blood star bees have any plan to build a nest, digging a hole here and digging a hole there, it's a mess, if I am the queen bee, I will have to scold those bees who build the nest to death. Ye Xing complained as he ran.
At the moment of life and death, he was still in the mood to joke, Su Lingyu hooked a smile on the corner of his mouth, and replied: "People use flying, and they don't have to run and jump like us." ”
As he spoke, Su Lingyu saw that the two Blood Star Bees had already chased after each other, and they were flying rapidly towards Ye Xing, who was left behind. She exclaimed, "Watch out for the back!"
Without Su Lingyu saying anything, Ye Xing heard a very close buzzing sound from behind. He was nervous, but he kept running at a constant pace, listening intently to the buzzing behind him to determine the location of the Blood Star Bee.
When the humming sound almost sounded in the back of his head, Ye Xing, who was running, fell down on the spot extremely quickly. A gust of wind swept over his head, and he quickly stood up, seeing a Blood Star Bee fly in front of him, turning around, and preparing to rush towards him.
A cyan beam of light struck the Blood Star Bee as it was gaining momentum, knocking its body crooked, and it almost fell. I saw that the blood star bee shook a few times and flew again. Another cyan beam of light that was thicker than just now hit the same spot just now, and this time the cyan light directly pierced through the body of the Blood Star Bee, gushing out bright red blood, and the body of the Blood Star Bee fell to the ground.
I saw that Su Lingyu in front of him was holding a cyan star scepter in his right hand, pointing in the direction of the blood star bee, and there was still blue light surging on it.
Ye Xing breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to say thank you, but he heard Su Lingyu shouting, "Be careful!
A blast of wind suddenly hit behind him, accompanied by a buzzing sound. Ye Xing completely relied on instinct to lie down, and at the same time reversed his body, and with the help of rotation, he slashed upwards with the long knife in his right hand. There was a strong anti-shock force from Ye Xing's hand, almost shaking his palm holding the hilt.
Above it, a blood star bee hissed and struggled in pain, and most of the blade of the long knife was submerged in its abdomen, and a large amount of blood gushed out from the wound, flowing down the blade, staining Ye Xing's knife-wielding hand red.
The Blood Star Bee felt the passage of life in its body, and frantically flapped its wings, trying to get rid of the blade in its body. Ye Xing, who held the long knife and didn't let go, was dragged to the ground by the struggle of the blood star bee, and the sharp pain of rubbing on the ground made Ye Xing grit his teeth and endure it. The last of the Blood Star Bee's strength vibrated its wings, and it finally flew up, bringing Ye Xing off the ground as well. Less than a breath after flying, the Blood Star Bee had already died, and fell into a pit next to Ye Xing with Ye Xing.
"Ye Xing!"
Su Lingyu let out a scream as he watched Ye Xing and the dead Blood Star Bee fall into the pit together. She glanced at the swarm of bees that were about to catch up behind her, and without hesitation, she ran over and jumped into the hole.
