The world inside the dimensional rift is actually not much different from Earth.

Just as the Heavenly Dao has carved out a region in another world and set rules prohibiting native creatures from entering or leaving, the rift will not close until all the native creatures within it have perished, and it will exist indefinitely.

However, once the rift remains open for a certain period of time, the rules will weaken, the rift will upgrade, and stronger beings will be allowed to enter and exit through the rift, whether they are humans or ferocious beasts.

Herds of ferocious beasts roam this area.

A student from a prestigious university in Shanghai, skilled at concealing her presence, nimbly moved through the woods. After picking a certain amount of fruit, she turned around and returned in the direction she had come from, eventually arriving at a dark cave.

She went inside.

Inside the cave, a dozen men and women were resting. They were startled awake by the sound of footsteps and assumed an attack stance. They only relaxed when they saw that it was their companions returning.

Yuan Ying distributed the fruit she had picked to everyone, and then walked to the innermost part of the cave.

A pretty young girl lay on a pile of grass, but her face was extremely pale, her eyes were closed, and there were bite marks left by a ferocious snake on her bare white hands.

A boy with medical knowledge shook his head and said, "Jiang Hanhan's condition is getting worse and worse. In at most one more day, the snake venom will invade her heart and lungs. Even if cracks appear by then, it will probably be too late to save her."

They were all students from a prestigious university in Shanghai. They met while fleeing for their lives and have been traveling together ever since.

Five days ago, the interdimensional rift suddenly changed, and some ferocious beasts that were originally at the peak of the second tier broke through to the third tier, and not only that, they also discovered that as time went by, the strength of these ferocious beasts was steadily increasing.

Three days ago, most ferocious beasts were only at the second tier, but now, three days later, second-tier ferocious beasts have become rare, while third-tier ferocious beasts are everywhere.

They are indeed freshmen at the Magic City Academy, but they have only just entered the academy, and their combat strength is at most comparable to the early stage of the Spirit Sea realm.

Two days ago, Jiang Hanhan, who had the highest combat power, was bitten by a third-tier Thousand Poison Python while covering their retreat, and the snake venom entered her body.

In other words, her physique was strengthened with spiritual medicines and fruits from a young age; if it were anyone else, they would probably have already died.

Some of the more emotionally vulnerable girls couldn't help but hug their knees and start crying.

"So many days have passed, why hasn't the academy sent anyone to rescue us yet? Have we been abandoned? Waaah..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could the principal and teachers possibly abandon us? They're definitely trying to find a solution right now."

"That's right!"

Some were on the verge of collapse, while others remained calm, but the severity of their despair was palpable.

Even if the academy does send people to rescue them, without knowing the details, it will likely only increase casualties.

They were alright; as long as they didn't encounter any ferocious beasts, they could barely survive. But Jiang Hanhan's injuries couldn't wait that long...

hiss~

At that moment, a rustling sound suddenly came from outside the cave.

This sudden change immediately alerted everyone. They drew their weapons and watched the cave entrance warily, their hearts pounding and cold sweat pouring down their backs.

For a long time, there was no movement.

Just as they thought it was just a rumor and breathed a sigh of relief, a huge python's head suddenly darted into the cave, and its tongue snatched away the boy closest to the outside of the cave with lightning speed.

"No! Help me..."

The cries for help abruptly ceased.

The remaining people were so frightened that they quickly hid at the innermost part of the cave, and they also recognized the python's head.

"It's...it's the same Ten Thousand Poison Python from before! This place is more than ten kilometers away from its territory, how did it find its way here?!"

"Everyone, calm down! There are so many of us, and the cave is narrow; it won't be able to devour us all in a short time!"

"But...it spits snake venom! By the time it realizes what's happening, we'll all be dead here... Waaah, Mom..."

"Damn it! We're going to die either way, might as well go out and fight it to the death!"

"Our highest level is only the seventh level of Spirit Induction, while this beast is at least at the mid-stage of the third tier. How can we possibly fight it?!"

At this critical juncture of life and death, humanity is fully revealed.

Even at this point, some people were still thinking of hiding, hoping that if the beast got full, it would stop attacking them.

The venomous python was still trying to breach the cave. Under its onslaught, the cave was teetering on the brink of collapse, seemingly on the verge of crumbling at any moment.

The students inside the cave were preparing to fight for their lives.

The venomous python, which had just stuck its head into the cave, seemed to have been struck by a heavy blow, letting out a painful scream that was sharp and piercing!

It was knocked away.

Several slashes struck its vital spot in succession. Without scales to block them, the slashes easily severed its body, and blood rained down on the trees below. There was no chance of survival!

The tree, stained with the blood of beasts, was visibly corroded until only a withered trunk remained.

"That beast...is it dead?"

"Could it be reinforcements arriving!"

As they were speculating, a figure suddenly appeared at the cave entrance, dressed in black robes with dragon patterns, with a sharply defined face and a somewhat indifferent gaze, like a god looking down upon the mortal world.

Jiang Qin looked at the students covered in wounds, frowned slightly, and asked:

Do you know where Jiang Hanhan is?

Was he here specifically to see Jiang Hanhan?

Yuan Ying paused for a moment, then quickly pointed into the cave, "She...she's inside, but she's been poisoned by snake venom and isn't in good condition."

Jiang Qin entered the cave, ignoring the curious gazes of the people, and knelt down in front of the unconscious girl, using his spiritual power to sense her.

The snake venom had been in his body for quite some time; if he had arrived any later, he would have had no choice but to take the body back with him.

He took out a fifth-tier antidote pill from his spatial ring and fed it to the girl, along with some spirit wine.

The elixir dissolved upon contact with the wine, spreading through the girl's body along her esophagus. The medicinal effects began to take hold, rapidly clearing away the toxins and soon eliminating all the snake venom from her body.

At this point, one of the boys finally couldn't help but ask:

"Excuse me... senior, did you come here specifically to rescue us?"

Jiang Qin pointed to the girl who was about to wake up and answered truthfully, "I came to save her. As for you... you were just incidental."

As he spoke, he looked at the girl who had been the first to answer.

"Do you still have the strength?"

Yuan Ying nodded subconsciously.

Jiang Qin tossed her a bottle of pills to replenish her spiritual energy and instructed her:

"This beast's corpse will soon attract all the ferocious beasts in the vicinity. Carry her on your back and follow behind me, and I'll keep you safe."

"Ah... Oh!"

Yuan Ying first took a pill to restore her spiritual power, then carried Jiang Hanhan on her back and followed behind Jiang Qin, not forgetting to signal her companions to hurry up and catch up.

The group packed their things and followed closely behind Jiang Qin.

When they emerged from the cave and saw the giant python's corpse, they were still filled with fear; they had almost died at the hands of that beast.

Dozens of ferocious beasts, drawn by the scent of blood, had already surrounded the entire hillside, all at the third rank, with two even at the peak of the third rank, comparable to the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm.

This is like escaping from the jaws of a wolf only to fall into the den of a tiger!

Yuan Ying couldn't help but ask, "Senior, what should we do now?"

These ferocious beasts have already set their sights on them, and they won't be able to shake them off anytime soon.

Jiang Qin remained calm. "What else can we do? We fight our way out! If there's no road, we'll carve one!"
