Chapter 318 - Mysterious World
He actually saw the names of many people from the Rabbit Kingdom.
It seemed that several royal families knew the mystery here. He Yu should have found out about this, too; did she not investigate it in detail?
If so, it would be impossible not to find this out with Yulong Gymnasium's strength.
If the royal families knew of this, how could their gymnasium not know?
Su Bai was silent for a while. Could there be something in this that he did not know of?
"Do you require other information or want people to go with you into the Vatican maelstrom?" asked Heidi Flynn at this moment.
"No, that's it for now." He returned to his senses and shook his head.
Afterward, he got up and opened the door, ready to leave. Now that he had the basic information, he was ready to enter the Hidden Realm.
"Sir, don't you need other services? For example, I can massage you for free."
At this time, Heidi Flynn stopped him from leaving.
He turned to look at her and shook his head. "No need."
He then took his pets out of the private room without looking backward.
I can read that woman's thoughts. She wants to seduce someone strong and escape from her current life, Mewling Fox said telepathically once they were outside.
"We don't have this idle time. Who knows what she really thinks?" He shook his head.
Su Bai soon arrived at the gate of the town and walked out unimpeded.
When he left the town, five people with emperor pets followed after.
The leader was Bei Sen, a dark-skinned, brawny man with a height of 2.5 meters and weight of more than three hundred kilograms. He walked over to Su Bai and said, "Hey, friend, do you need a team to go to the Vatican maelstrom? I've been there. I understand the situation inside very well."
Su Bai glanced at the five people and shook his head indifferently. "I'm not going to the Vatican. If you have a token to sell to me, I'm willing to try it."
"Tokens are rare; we don't have any." Bei Sen shrugged and backed away.
He glanced at the group and at the small town behind him. He released Planet Eye and flew straight ahead.
After a distance of more than ten kilometers, the holographic projection screen in front of Su Bai showed that the five powerful beings were quickly following him.
Ah Bai, that's the group before. Mewling Fox also raised its head in alert.
"I know. 1314, stop here." He nodded.
Planet Eye stopped and slowly turned around. At this moment, the five people had chased and surrounded him.
"Friend, you said that you're not going to the Vatican. You're clearly lying!"
Bei Sen looked at him with a kind smile on his face. "How about exchanging a token with a slave monster crystal nucleus?"
"It's not good enough," he stared at these five and said slowly. "Do you know that you're looking for your own deaths?"
"Hahahaha!"
Hearing this, the five people burst into laughter. Five contract books flew out, and each of them released three high-level emperor pets.
There were fifteen powerful and terrifying monsters in total; each of which was more than one hundred meters long. Their powerful aura spread, like fifteen small suns, making one's head dizzy.
"Hahaha! What did you say? Please say it again!"
Bei Sen touched a Six-winged Ghost Fire Demon Lion beside him and laughed at Su Bai. He seemed to have heard a big joke.
The others could not help laughing as well. "Friend, now we won't even give you the slave crystal nucleus. We much prefer shopping for free—"
However, before they finished speaking, they suddenly felt a scorching heat. In a moment or two, the sky went ablaze, the earth turned into magma, and a large Lava Purgatory enveloped them. As if they had been transported to the sun, they had to employ all their defenses.
However, they were just about to move when an existence of over ten kilometers appeared in the domain and exuded infernal flames of the undead attribute. A pair of blazing eyes glared at the five people with anger.
"…Friend, we were just joking with you. Don't take it so seriously; we'll get lost right away—"
Bei Sen looked at the terrifying existence in front of him and his face instantly blanched. The smile on his face stretched thinly, looking uglier than a crying face, as he stammered that.
The other four people were even more stunned, not knowing how to face this terrifying existence before them for a while.
"It's too late!"
Su Bai shook his head indifferently. He had given them a chance, but it was a pity that they did not understand how precious that chance was.
"Roar!" The dino roared to the sky and burst forth with fiery flames with a pale white stroke.
The temperature of this flame was so hot that it made them feel as if the sun was falling down. Not only did it carry the power of the undead attribute, which could rob them of their vitality, it also contained the nearly perfected fire law. Once the world's fire element appeared, it surged wildly, its power having increased more than ten times.
"…Oh, no!"
Seeing this terrifying attack like the sun, all five people yelled in horror. The powerful fluctuations of the law made them have no desire to resist, and they fled back desperately, releasing life-saving pets one after another to block the flames chasing them.
Everything was in vain, though, for amid their desperate screams and horrified cries, the five, including their pets, were all engulfed in flames.
When everything dissipated, all traces belonging to the five people had completely disappeared.
"Roar!" It's so satisfying! Little Tyrant swaggered to him and said.
Su Bai: "…"
He originally wanted the dino to kill the opponents directly, but it had to put up an act on purpose, scaring the five people before their death.
Nonetheless, it had indeed done a great job in scaring those five people to death.
Who could have imagined that an emperor pet would be able to comprehend a law to completion? This was simply unheard of. Generally speaking, only high-level sovereign monsters could reach this level.
Ah Bai, more people are coming! At this time, Mewling Fox pointed in a direction.
He looked up, having felt their presence with his mental power as well.
Clap clap clap!
With a series of loud applause, a white-haired man appeared from a distance. "Your pet is too strong. Are you interested in making friends? How about exploring the secrets of the Vatican together?"
"Do you want to end up like them?" Su Bai gazed at the white-haired young man, who looked like a swordsman with that thin sword on his waist.
"Hahaha! You misunderstood me. I really want to explore that place with you; I'm not here to snatch your tokens away. I know many secrets about the Hidden Realm, and I may share them with you."
The white-haired man slowly approached Su Bai as he held up his hands. "I know a way to quickly enter the Hidden Realm and gain the inheritance within, but we're still short of people. You're a very suitable candidate. I can promise before a Void Oath that I have no ill intentions."
Su Bai eyed the middle-aged man, pondered for a moment, and then nodded. "Okay, I accept your invitation."
"Great! You can call me Dick. Let's go meet up with the other three teammates now. I promise you that they're all very kind people."
This guy actually approached Planet Eye as if unafraid of being disadvantageous against Su Bai.
"My name is Fontaine Bell; you can call me Bell." Su Bai kept his eyes trained on the man.
The alias he had decided to use this time was the name of the man who had once stood at the top of the food chain.
"Hello, Bell. Let's leave right away. Head in that direction. By the way, your next mount is really cool."
Dick glanced at Planet Eye appreciatively and pointed in a direction. "Along the way, I'll tell you some secrets that I know."
They conversed on their way to the beach, and Su Bai found out from Dick that he was actually from the Adolf family.
That family was much stronger than Chelsea's Louis family with its hundreds of years' history.
Before the aura rejuvenation, it was already the world's top family and the master of a famous consortium. After the aura recovered, it continued to rise.
It was said that they had secretly transformed a planet, and their headquarters was now located on that planet. Rumor had it that they were ready to flee from Blue Planet at any time.
"Bell, do you want to go back to my family with me? If we have time, we can explore the infinite void together. Blue Planet is too small and it's almost impossible to hold it," Dick said with a smile.
"I don't want to make that choice yet. Blue Planet hasn't completely collapsed, has it?" Su Bai shook his head.
Unlike in the Rabbit Kingdom, escapism was not concealed in other parts of the world; even a whole country had fled.
Most people who knew the truth had already given up. Defending Blue Planet was fighting against the entire endless void. It was impossible for a small Blue Planet to resist, and its final outcome was doomed.
The reason why they could resist was that a really terrifying existence had not started to act.
"Do you think the east can support it? No, they're also preparing to flee," Dick smiled. His voice was very low and he seemed to be rejoicing in the others' misfortune.
"Let's just go to the Hidden Realm first; I'm more interested in that." He shook his head.
"Haha! You're right. Let's wait until we come out of the Hidden Realm alive." The middle-aged man laughed at that.
Before long, they arrived at the beach. Su Bai looked at the endless North Atlantia with deep eyes.
From his location, he could see a black fog shrouding the left side ahead. That side originally had land, but it had gotten submerged a hundred years ago.
"Wait, let me call them."
Dick took out his phone to contact the three other people.
Not long after, two men and one woman riding their pets flew out of a distant dark fog.
When the blonde woman saw Su Bai, she showed a doubtful look. "Is this the new teammate?"
"Yes, his strength is equal to mine and he is called Bell," Dick introduced him.
When the three heard Dick say that Su Bai's strength was comparable to his, the doubts on their faces disappeared, and they quickly introduced themselves.
From their brief introduction of themselves, Su Bai learned that the woman was called Nora, while the other two men were called John and Senna respectively.
"Now that you all know each other, please tell me the specific situation, John," Dick said.
John was a tall man with white skin and a big beard. He also had a tattoo on his neck.
He glanced at them, nodded, and said, "The three of us have just been to the misty vortex to check out the situation. The light wave in the central area is on, so we can enter any time.
"The dark mist has the effect of hindering perception, though. Dark monsters, especially a really scary transparent jellyfish, float in it.
"Once touched, the jellyfish will explode, split into countless small transparent jellyfish, and suck you of your spiritual power.
"There are other monsters. In truth, it's not particularly dangerous to us. I suggest that we start immediately. Many people have entered in advance these past few days."
"Bell, what do you think?" Dick looked at Su Bai after listening to John's report.
"Let's go in. I'm very curious about the specific situation inside." He nodded.
"Alright. In that case, let's set off on Bell's metal planet." The middle-aged man nodded.
He did not hide Planet Eye's function and turned on its radar detection as they flew toward the dark vortex in the distance.
Soon after entering the whirlpool, they encountered a group of transparent jellyfish.
"Be careful!" John reminded everyone.
"It's alright."
Su Bai shook his head. When the transparent jellyfish exploded, Planet Eye opened a metal shield. Since the jellyfishes were not composed of spiritual power, they could not be destroyed.
Immediately afterward, 1314 condensed several cannons and killed some hidden monsters on its way forward.
"This base is really good." John nodded, looking at Planet Eye a little admiringly.
Dick and Senna, as well as the blonde Nora, did not expect that Su Bai's transportation tool would actually be a high-tech machine and were also quite shocked.
"What's the name of your pet?" Nora could not help but ask.
"It's a variant of a planet's core, but it's not as powerful as you think." Su Bai shook his head.
"It's not an ordinary metal life; ordinary mechanical life can't do so much," Dick looked ahead and said.
In less than ten minutes, Planet Eye had directly shuttled through the dark mist and arrived at the eye of the vortex, where a black stream could be seen.
"Take out the token and hold it in the palm of your hand." Dick reminded Su Bai.
"Okay, let's go."
Su Bai took out the token that Fang Laoba had given him outside the White Lotus Wilderness.
Planet Eye turned into a stream and plunged directly into the vortex; it stayed as a stream for a while as it shuttled through.
At the same time, the token in Su Bai's hand turned into a stream of light, which plunged into his wrist, forming a white pattern there.
Once he got accustomed to this feeling, he understood that this was normal and did not make a fuss.
He raised his head and looked at the Hidden Realm within this maelstrom.
In the dimness, he saw monsters and a world full of mysterious and strange colors.
