Chapter 80, Entering the Secret Realm, Perilous Land: Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain

Beyond the secret realm,

boom!

With a loud bang, the four third-tier fighters separated, each in disarray, with no clear victor.

The third-tier member of the Feather Clan had a gloomy expression as he stared intently at the two humans, his killing intent surging.

The third-tier Soul Clan member's body had noticeably faded, but it was impossible to tell whether it was due to injury or excessive power consumption.

A third-tier human wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a bright smile spreading across his face.

"You scruffy bird, is that all the strength you've got? Kneel down before me now, and I might spare your life!"

The winged race member sneered, "You so-called human! I am just an ordinary member of the winged race. You are so proud of yourself because you can't even defeat me. You are just an ignorant clown."

"Then why don't you send your teammates over? We've been fighting for so long, why hasn't anyone come to help you?"

The higher-ranking humans continued their taunts.

The Feather Clan and the Soul Clan looked grim, and it seemed they were about to fight again.

Suddenly, a joyful voice rang out.

"The secret realm is about to open!"

Immediately, four pairs of eyes looked over and found that the shield outside the crack had almost completely lost its light, as if it would shatter at any moment.

"Hmph! I'll let you off this time."

"You scruffy bird! Keep going if you dare!"

The four Tier 3 fighters each uttered harsh words and returned to their respective teams.

Thousands of eyes were fixed on the disappearing cracked shield, and even the fighting stopped abruptly.

Not long after, transparent cracks suddenly appeared around the crack at the entrance to the secret realm.

boom!

Those who looked at the crack felt a dull, shattering sound in their hearts.

The shield shattered, and the entrance to the secret realm appeared before them.

"Charge!"

Someone shouted, igniting the tense atmosphere.

In an instant, hundreds or even thousands of figures rushed toward the crack, only to be sucked in and disappear upon contact.

More creatures rushed over, eager to get inside.

Lin Ran looked at the crack but didn't move.

"Captain, when do we set off?"

Yan Lingfei asked, holding Mengyu in her arms.

Mengyu's tail wagged back and forth, expressing her dissatisfaction at being suffocated against Yan Lingfei's chest, yet also enjoying it.

Lin Ran looked at the entrance to the secret realm: "No rush, let's wait until most of the others have entered before we go."

He stared at the crack, trying to analyze the forces within it, but failed.

His pupil technique could only allow him to see that there were fluctuations in the rules that differed from those of time, but it could not analyze the rules themselves.

A dozen minutes later.

The density of people has decreased significantly, and it is no longer so crowded.

Other teams that were still observing also began to set off.

Lin Ran waved his hand dismissively: "Let's go!"

The group traveled together through the air.

When other teams saw Lin Ran's team set off, they immediately followed suit, creating another wave of enthusiasm.

As Lin Ran's group passed by, other groups made way for them, smiling and greeting them as they went.

Lin Ran was not indifferent; she waved in response to them and then smoothly made her way to the entrance, disappearing the moment she touched the crack.

……

A familiar teleportation sensation came through.

Lin Ran was prepared and remained conscious, observing the situation outside the teleportation power that enveloped him.

Countless streaks of light filled the eye; their speed was so immense that everything outside was obscured, leaving only the endless stream of light visible.

Lin Ran took out her terminal to time the first few seconds. The teleportation process lasted forty-odd seconds, which was a relatively long time.

The moment their feet touched solid ground, a wave of heat rushed towards them, and the air was filled with restless fire elemental energy, with other types of elemental energy almost non-existent.

Lin Ran raised her spiritual shield, closed her eyes, and used her mental energy to survey the surroundings.

After adjusting for a while, Lin Ran opened her eyes.

What came into view was a crimson expanse, and a dozen meters ahead was a lake, but it was not filled with water, only boiling lava.

The bursting bubbles released wisps of miasma that drifted into the air, filling it with a pungent odor.

Within the restless fire elemental energy, there also existed a power that was difficult for Xiong Rong to comprehend.

If the fire elemental energy is not refined thoroughly, this power will accumulate in the body and become a toxin that hinders the advancement of one's cultivation level.

Lin Ran frowned slightly, using earth spiritual energy to block the restless fire spiritual energy outside her body, and then grabbed a wisp of fire spiritual energy to try to refine it.

After some refining,

Lin Ran concluded that although this fire spirit energy was toxic, the improvement gained after complete refinement was greater than that of the fire spirit energy in the battlefield of the heavens!

The extracted fire poison dissipated. Lin Ran then looked around and found that he had been teleported to the inside of a cave.

Leave the underground area through the cave passage.

Lin Ran couldn't help but squint her eyes and discovered that the world outside was also crimson!

In the distance is an erupting volcano, with reddish-gold lava flowing slowly down the crater and into the giant lake below.

The entire lake is also composed entirely of lava, but it is cooler than the interior of the cave and has a dull golden color.

Lin Ran recalled that this should be one of the dangerous places recorded in the notes.

The secret realm is vast, and within it are several areas shrouded in the aura of rules, forming a unique environment.

This should be one of them.

Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain!

Wind and fire are the primary attributes here; other attributes of spiritual energy are almost non-existent.

Lin Ran released wind spiritual energy and immediately sensed the turbulent and chaotic wind spiritual energy about ten meters above the ground. It was more difficult to refine than fire spiritual energy, but it would not produce toxins after being refined.

Communicate the team's spirit and identify other members.

They found no one within their contact range and could only sense the general direction.

They were teleported to different locations within the secret realm.

Lin Ran turned her attention back to the wind, forest, fire, and mountain.

This place is rich in a type of crystal, which contains a rather volatile fire elemental energy. However, for the same volume, the content of fire elemental energy is dozens to hundreds of times that of a fire crystal!

Moreover, it is absorbed faster, provided that one can withstand the violent fire spirit energy.

Lin Ran flew into the air, and after reaching a height of more than ten meters, she immediately felt the violent and chaotic wind spirit energy.

Ten meters below, the water was completely calm, without even a breath of wind!

As they flew into the air, Lin Ran looked around.

As far as the eye can see, there are volcanoes erupting, with golden lava flowing down to the foot of the mountains, forming a long, giant river of lava!

Lin Ran selected a spiritual imprint from the team and set off in the direction of the imprint.

Before long, he noticed several unfamiliar creatures appearing in the long river of lava below!

With focused attention, he made out the creature's appearance.

It looks a bit like a salamander, but it has two heads and a very long tail, almost three times the length of its body!

They are extremely sensitive to sight, and when Lin Ran saw them, they also noticed her.

boom!

Suddenly, a stream of lava burst forth from the long river and flew into the air.

A glint flashed in Lin Ran's eyes as he activated his pupil technique with his mental power, using the ability of Instant Slash.

Puff puff……

The lava flew halfway before collapsing powerlessly into the lake. Several lava creatures floated belly up on the lava, their spirits annihilated.

Lin Ran made a grabbing motion in the air, and the corpses of several magma creatures flew up. But halfway through, a huge black shadow suddenly jumped out of the magma river and pounced into the air.
