In a crossover anime, the only way to become stronger is by marrying a wife.

Yui Yuigahama's physique was still that of an ordinary person. After walking intimately for a while, Tsukikawa Shu carried her up the stone steps.

Moreover, it was done in a princess carry.

This time, Yui Yuigahama wasn't as embarrassed. Perhaps it was because Shizuka Hiratsuka said, "You'll get used to it," that she actually felt quite comfortable.

Unlike the previous dilapidated houses that simply floated in mid-air, this area is more like a disorderly floating forest.

Large trees grow on the broken buildings, their broad and towering canopies reaching into the sky.

These trees are not haphazardly arranged like the houses, but grow straight like ordinary trees, with roots at the bottom and leaves at the top, looking no different from the trees we know. The houses below are like nutrient-providing growth packages.

“It appears that these trees are later additions, that they grew out of this Sky Isle, rather than being absorbed into the Sky Islands along with these houses.”

After observing for a while, Hiratsuka Shizuka spoke.

Compared to the previous bare houses, these clusters of houses covered with shrubs are much more dangerous, as the view is often obstructed.

"It seems the first area is just a trial version, not very difficult yet. Now is the real beginning of the exploration," Tsukikawa Shuu pondered.

The road ahead was obscured by dense bushes, so Tsukikawa Shuu simply raised his katana and slashed out.

A crescent-shaped blade of light burst forth from the blade, cleaving in half all the trees that blocked the road, clearing them completely.

At the same time, some monsters hiding inside were also cleared out. Many worms that had been cut in half were still wriggling. Each worm was about the length of an arm and had sharp mouthparts.

"It seems quite dangerous."

Tsukikawa Shu sheathed her katana and continued walking forward.

The deeper you go, the thicker the vegetation becomes, and you often need to use skills to clear a path to pass.

Along the way, the group encountered many tall shrubs, each leaf the size of a laptop monitor, but they didn't know what kind they were. Countless leaves stretched out, blocking out the sun.

"There are some black fruits on it, and some insects living there, hiding in the tree holes and under the leaves... and a treasure chest!"

Fujiwara Chika used the scope on her sniper rifle as a telescope, observing the situation on the treetops with great delight.

It was another instance of triggering a lucky value with an extremely low probability.

Tsukikawa Shu estimated that there would be one or two purple chests in each secret realm area, but like the previous area, he picked up all the purple chests himself.

"I'll go up and have a look."

As Tsukikawa Shuu spoke, relying on her exceptionally strong physique, she quickly climbed up the towering tree.

The tree's branches are so thick that people can stand on them as if walking on flat ground, like a straight road.

Looking around, Tsukikawa Shuu also noticed traces of the insects.

It's a monster that looks like an ant, hiding on the back of those leaves, each leaf just big enough to hold one ant.

Clusters of black fruit hung from the tree trunk, looking somewhat like grapes, but rounder and smoother, and even reflective.

At the end of the branch, a purple treasure chest sat quietly.

However, the treasure chest is half hidden inside those leaves, and the backs of the leaves are infested with ants. If players try to open the treasure chest without seeing these monsters, they are usually the ones who are most likely to die.

Tsukikawa Shu looked at the insects hiding behind the leaves and estimated their number.

"The treasure chest in the secret realm shouldn't break, right?" Tsukikawa Shu thought to herself.

Cleaning them up one by one was too troublesome, so Tsukikawa Shu raised his katana and slashed straight down, unleashing a sword aura.

The sword energy easily severed the tree trunk.

The entire thick tree trunk, along with the giant ants hiding behind the leaves, fell down, and the ants rained down on the ground.

Goto Ichiri plucked the strings of his koto, his eyes dimming and indifferent, as a purple mist spread out.

These monsters were not high-level, and they were all controlled by Goto Ichiri, lying motionless on the ground.

For Goto Ichiri and his companions, killing these monsters was an easy task.

Goto Ichiri was in charge of controlling the monsters, while Hiratsuka Shizuka and Fujiwara Chika were responsible for killing them all.

Yui Yuigahama had grown a bit bolder at this point, and she took a twig and tried to rub the giant ants from a distance.

These giant ants were not dead, but they lay limp and lifeless on the ground like salted fish.

Looking at Goto Ichiri on the other side, he was squatting to one side, randomly plucking the strings of his koto, muttering to himself:

"I'm a parasite on society, a piece of useless trash nobody wants... ten pieces of useless trash..."

The intense negative emotions made it impossible for anyone to get close to them.

"Goto's control is indeed outstanding," Yui Yuigahama said.

“Well, after all, Goto-san has a natural talent for influencing others,” Fujiwara Chika said with a smile.

I didn't gain much experience from these little bugs; I just eliminated them as a side effect.

Hiratsuka Shizuka picked up a black fruit from the ground, blew off the dust, and took a bite.

The delicious, sweet juice bursts in your mouth.

"It's non-toxic, nutritious, and can also replenish fluids."

Hiratsuka Shizuka was surprised. "This is a very nice fruit."

"Then let's collect more."

Tsukikawa Shuya jumped down from the tree trunk and, with the help of his skills, landed gently on the ground.

The purple box that fell to the ground was completely undamaged, without even a trace of damage.

Tsukikawa Shuu opened the purple box.

You have opened an epic-level treasure chest.

You have received 50 Large Experience Cards and 10000 Refined Ore.

The group successfully obtained an epic treasure chest, along with a number of black, juicy fruits.

……

……

Congratulations to player "月川柊" for opening an Epic-level treasure chest and receiving 50 Experience Cards and 10000 Refined Ore!

When Tsukikawa Shuu opened the treasure chest, the other players also received the message from the secret realm.

Similarly, Yu Sheng and the others were in the same situation.

Chapter 126 The Student Council on the Verge of Collapse

They were already at a disadvantage. After Tsukikawa Shu climbed the stone steps, the veteran players behind him rushed up and began exploring.

Yu Sheng and the others dragged their weak and hungry bodies, needing to rest for a while after walking only a short distance. By the time they reached the top of the stone steps, they were all so exhausted that they could barely stand.

The negative effects of not eating or drinking for two days, coupled with extreme fatigue, have already taken their toll on everyone!

"This guy got another epic treasure chest..."

Yu Sheng was furious.

However, at this moment, no one responded. They were all lifeless, their energy completely depleted by hunger and exhaustion.

"Can you still walk?" Makijima stamped his foot, looking anxiously at the group of people who could no longer move.

"Just a little rest, just a little more," Yu Sheng said weakly. "Let's discuss this some more..."

"What do you still want to discuss at a time like this?" Makijima was very angry.

“We’re too tired to walk anyway, what’s wrong with discussing it?” Yu Sheng retorted.

However, Yu Sheng and the others simply stayed put and wouldn't budge, and Makijima was powerless to do anything about it.

As planned, Yu Sheng and the others continued to discuss countermeasures, while it was Makijima and another black guy's turn to keep watch.

"What should we do?" The black guy looked at the group of people sitting together behind him.

"What else can be done?"

Makijima now truly regrets joining this group.

If this continues, even he won't be able to hold on any longer.

He has only managed to hold on this long thanks to his stronger physique and his previous experience in the inner world, but the situation is only going to get worse.

He now regrets joining such a group and regrets not leaving sooner.

I originally thought that Yu Sheng and the others would be able to change their behavior after realizing the current situation, but now it seems that old habits die hard, and these people are simply impossible to change their own minds.

"Let's get out of here, what else can we do?" Makijima didn't want to stay any longer.

Even though no one is teaming up with them now, they still want to leave these damn guys.

It's one thing to waste time on irrelevant meetings, but the real problem is that he also offended Tsukikawa Shu.

This is the undisputed strongest player right now!

While Yu Sheng and his group were sitting together discussing something, the two of them left without saying a word.

In reality, Yu Sheng and the others couldn't come to any conclusions at this point.

Everyone was exhausted, and soon after the meeting started, no one spoke.
