Chapter 254

As the sole S-rank secret realm among the nearby hundred areas, outside the spacetime rift corresponding to the Black and White Dragon Nest, there are many onlookers.

Even with their strength, they could never conquer such a secret realm, but witnessing a spacetime rift of this scale is still a great experience.

Many players also treat this as a good opportunity to meet other players, gathering in small groups to chat, and if they have a chance to recruit a lone player into their guild, they will never let it pass.

However, the sounds of discussion and chatter disappeared after a giant bird's Descent.

Seeing the distinctive azure giant bird and the two figures on its back, the players present instantly grew excited.

It's Luo and Yueli!

If anyone at this stage is qualified to conquer an S-rank secret realm, the players worldwide would undoubtedly think of these two first.

Even though they are no longer the only two Hall Tier players in Dream World, other Hall Tier players have not yet experienced conquering an A-rank secret realm, so in everyone's eyes they naturally fall short of Luo and Yueli.

Moreover, Luo already has a Spirit Beast that has broken through to Epic Tier.

The S-rank secret realm appeared precisely because of his breakthrough.

Merely their arrival caused the countless players present to instantly become excited.

"Luo! Yueli! Go for it!" a Yanhuang Nation player couldn't help shouting.

Yueli gave that player a kind smile, then signaled Xiaoqing to enter the secret realm.

In the rising gale, the two vanished within the spacetime rift.

In the next instant, the players present began sending messages on the global channel and guild channel.

The news that Luo and Yueli had begun conquering the S-rank secret realm swept across Dream World.

——

At a certain location in Area 5149, three players and their respective Contract Spirit Beasts were instantly transported outside the spacetime rift; watching the rift disappear, all three wore smiles.

"We succeeded!" Hongye exclaimed happily, "Although it's only a B-rank 1-star secret realm, it's still a B-rank!"

"Perhaps next time we can try the 2-star difficulty?" Leonhart chuckled, glanced at the global channel, and clicked his tongue, "The Guild President and Vice President have already gone to conquer the S-rank secret realm; we can't fall too far behind."

"Has the Guild President awakened?" Hongye's face involuntarily showed surprise, "That's really great."

"Are we going to conquer the next B-rank secret realm?" Evelyn tilted her head and asked.

With Leonhart, who is fluent in both Russian and Chinese, the two women's communication became much smoother.

"Let's stop here for today." Hongye looked at the Spirit Beasts already showing fatigue, shook her head, "Our strength isn't enough to continuously conquer B-rank secret realms."

"What Miss Hongye said is correct." Leonhart nodded in deep agreement, "Then, ladies, we may need to part ways for a while."

"Mr. Leonhart, do you have something else to do?" Hongye asked curiously.

"Um… I need to challenge the area spirit beast of Zone 5148 to obtain the Advanced Resource my Contract Spirit Beast requires; it's not far, so I plan to give it a try." Leonhart said with a smile.

"We can go together!" Hongye puffed out her chest confidently, "We're all guild members; we should help each other."

"You can use player talents when challenging zone spirit beasts, and mine and Evelyn's talents are quite formidable; we two previously succeeded in challenging this zone's spirit beast together!"

"You agree, right? Evelyn."

"Hmm." Evelyn nodded, glanced at Leonhart then crossed her arms, "If you need help, I don't mind assisting you."

"Well then… I won't stand on ceremony." Leonhart pondered a moment, then laughed heartily, "Being aided by two lovely ladies is my honor."

Ng~

Behind him, a three-meter-long lizard-like Spirit Beast raised its head and let out a roar.

"Please get on."

"The Unicorn Earth Dragon excels in speed; riding it will let us reach our destination faster."

Soon after, the Unicorn Earth Dragon strode forth with its sturdy limbs, carrying the three of them as it galloped toward Zone 5148.

After more than an hour, the three arrived at a valley.

"The zone spirit beast of Zone 5148 is right in here." Leonhart wore a solemn expression, "This zone spirit beast is very strong; its rank has already reached Hall Tier Lv39."

"No problem, I can halve its strength!" Hongye forcefully swung her arm in the air, "The rest is up to you and Evelyn."

"The Spirit Scale is truly a miraculous talent." Leonhart, who already knew Hongye's talent from the road, smiled slightly and led the two women into the valley.

Inside the valley, a gigantic scorpion covered in rocky armor bristling with stone spikes burst from the ground, unleashing the terrifying aura of Hall Tier while its icy eyes mercilessly swept over the three challengers, its venomous tail quivering, poised to strike.

【Trigger Zone Spirit Beast Challenge, Opponent: Hall Tier Lv39 Spiked Armor Rock Scorpion】

【Number of Challengers: 3/10】

【…】

【Challenge Start】

"Suppress!" Hongye shouted, and among the three Spirit Beasts following her, the sole one that had not reached Elite Tier burst forth with light.

The Spiked Armor Rock Scorpion, which had just entered the challenge state, also burst forth with light at the same time.

Seeing the Spiked Armor Rock Scorpion's aura plummet and its strength halved in an instant, Leonhart gave Hongye a thumbs-up; behind him, his three Elite Tier Spirit Beasts, with their racial values increasing, lunged swiftly at the scorpion.

But someone was faster than him.

The three Elite Tier Spirit Beasts surged with golden light, their momentum climbing beyond what Elite Tier ought to have, and they lunged at the Spiked Armor Rock Scorpion with even greater speed.

Before Leonhart's three Spirit Beasts could act, the Spiked Armor Rock Scorpion was instantly dealt heavy damage, moments later turning into a shower of light points that vanished, leaving only a single Advanced Resource lying quietly on the ground.

Witnessing this, Leonhart froze for a moment, then unexpectedly turned his gaze to the side, to the little girl with twin tails chewing on a grass stalk.

"Don't underestimate Evelyn just because she's young; she's very capable." Seeing Leonhart's surprise, Hongye chuckled lightly.

"When we previously defeated that zone spirit beast together, I was still an Official Player; after I used Spirit Scale to suppress the zone spirit beast, Evelyn struck and the battle ended swiftly."

"Yeah, she really is." Leonhart came to, couldn't help but smile, gave Evelyn a thumbs-up as well, then turned and walked toward the resource on the ground.

Evelyn lifted her chin a bit higher, a hint of pride appearing on her delicate face.

"It's getting late; we should head back." After stowing the Advanced Resource, Leonhart glanced at the time, "To thank the two lovely ladies for their help, once we return to the guild, let me treat you to my cooking."

"As for cooking, I'm still quite confident."
