Chapter 352: The right to control puppets, the fourth entry into the Xunfa Secret Realm!

Su Yu, who had been resurrected after death, felt something completely different from before when he breathed.

He sighed:

"It's different after dying. Now that I've come back, I feel the air here is much fresher."

Su Yu twisted his neck and kicked his feet. Although his joints were still a bit stiff, Su Yu felt he was lucky enough to have such an encounter.

Then he suddenly remembered something, stopped his steps, looked around at the row of trees, and said:

"Where is my starship? It wouldn't be damaged, would it?"

Jifeng Jifeng Xunlei felt it carefully. The starship itself had no soul, but after being used for a long time, it would gradually have a connection with its owner.

The starship was a gift from Jifeng Jifeng Xunlei and Diluoluo to Su Yu, which was why Su Yu hadn't established a connection with it.

"I felt it; the starship is still intact... However, its interior is a bit dirty, all your blood. You need to clean it up."

Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Cleaning is not a trouble; what I'm afraid of is the starship being damaged."

Su Yu was just about to continue walking forward when he suddenly felt a gust of wind pass by him. He immediately became alert, only to see a white shadow flash before his eyes.

Su Yu looked closely and saw it was the man in white. His face was still hidden under the mask, making it impossible to see clearly.

The man in white watched Su Yu very seriously.

"You haven't finished the Xunfa Secret Realm yet, right?"

Hearing him ask this, Su Yu nodded very honestly.

"Great...!" Noticing Su Yu's gaze, the man in white quickly added, "It's good that you haven't finished it yet. If I'm not mistaken, your progress should only be at the second notebook, right?"

Su Yu marveled at the man in white's high insight and also at his cultivation being so high, even being able to come and go without a trace.

Su Yu nodded and said:

"Yes... and because I felt that the deeper I went into the secret realm, the more dangerous it became, I always wanted to clear it after seeing the ruins. I didn't expect that I wouldn't see the ruins, but I would die first. But fortunately, there's you. It would be a waste of a treasure to be lost on me."

The man in white didn't commit himself. He was very receptive to the subtle trust in Su Yu's words, so he nodded.

"Resurrecting you is my main responsibility. And even if you died, the Xunfa Secret Realm would be buried underground again, waiting for the next person chosen by it... These things have traces to follow."

"Oh?" Su Yu raised an eyebrow, showing an interested smile. "Who is the next person to take over the Xunfa Secret Realm? Does it have to wait until I die to inherit the Xunfa Secret Realm?"

The man in white lowered his head.

"I can tell you anything, but not this one thing. This needs to be kept strictly confidential... It doesn't necessarily have to wait for you to die to let the next person take over. Actually, when the time comes, the Xunfa Secret Realm will detach from you on its own. It's just that it won't detach until you clear the secret realm."

Su Yu touched his chin and thought.

Although the Xunfa Secret Realm is precious, carrying it is no different from carrying a time bomb. Although those people don't know where the Xunfa Secret Realm is, if the news leaks, Su Yu will only be able to live in endless fighting and killing for the rest of his life.

So Su Yu quickly waved his hand.

"Forget it, forget it. I'd better find a time to clear the secret realm... I don't have the ability to protect it yet."

After hearing this, the man in white's eyes flashed...

"I was just rejoicing that you hadn't finished clearing the Xunfa Secret Realm, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to resurrect you... After you clear the secret realm in the Giant Rhinoceros ruins, you will also gain the right to control puppets."

"Control puppets?" Su Yu was a bit interested, and he urgently needed to learn new abilities now, otherwise, he would easily be defeated if he only used those old-fashioned moves.

"Yes, you can also learn how to make puppets. Those puppets loyal to you will do anything for you. They will obey you completely. And I, currently the master here, will have our roles reversed after you clear the Xunfa Secret Realm," the man in white said.

"So magical?"

Su Yu began to be a bit curious, and such opportunities were rare, plus the Giant Rhinoceros was full of treasures.

"Yes, if you are ready, tell me. After entering the Xunfa Secret Realm, I will fully assist you until you clear the Xunfa Secret Realm."

Su Yu hesitated: "Actually, I could completely clear it myself. The first few levels were just close calls."

"No—" the man in white shook his head, "In the following levels, it will be hell-level difficulty... If you are slightly careless, you will die inside. And I absolutely will not allow such a thing to happen... Please allow me to go in with you, okay?"

Su Yu heard the pleading tone in the other party's words, and since Su Yu didn't want to die either, it would be best to have someone accompany him.

So Su Yu nodded and asked him:

"Then when do we go in?"

The man in white turned his head, scanned the surrounding environment, and said:

"If you are rested, we will go in now. This kind of thing cannot be delayed."

Su Yu hesitated but nodded.

Just as the man in white said, the longer the Xunfa Secret Realm was on him, the more dangerous he would be. There were so many people wanting to snatch the secret realm; as long as they knew the secret realm was on him, he would never have peace in his life.

In the next second, Su Yu flashed into the secret realm, and the man in white followed immediately.

This time, Su Yu's scene was still at the bottom of the lake, with the opened treasure chest in front of him.

He could breathe and speak underwater, but it was pitch black in front of him. Su Yu could vaguely hear the gurgling sound of water coming from the side, so he asked tentatively:

"Is that you?"

A response came quickly from that side.

"It's me. Please reach out now, hold my hand, and we will swim forward together. The exit is ahead."

Su Yu responded and grabbed the sleeve of the man in white.

The man in white took the lead, guiding Su Yu to swim forward. Su Yu, following behind, didn't even need to exert effort.

Gradually, Su Yu saw a small light spot, and just needed to follow by moving his feet.

The light spot got closer and closer to the two. As they gradually approached it, he could feel his cold body gradually warming up. Su Yu tightened his grip on the man in white's sleeve.

The man in white looked back at him and asked with concern:

"What's wrong?"

Su Yu shook his head, a flash of fear in his eyes.

He didn't know why, but the closer he got to the light spot, the warmer his body became, but the feeling of fear that rose up immediately became stronger and stronger.

It was as if it was telling him that the light spot was not an exit, but a passage to hell.

But Su Yu resisted saying this thought out loud. Although his body was warm, his heart was ice cold.

It was getting closer and closer.

Su Yu could only feel a strong light in front of him. After the man in white swam in first, Su Yu was dragged in, having no choice but to follow.

The fear that rose in his heart in an instant was beyond words.

In the gap of the white light transition, Su Yu heard the man in white say softly:

"Get ready."

Before Su Yu could think about it, he had already passed to the other side.

After a strong white light flashed, the surrounding environment slowly darkened. The scene that appeared before his eyes was as terrifying as hell.

Su Yu stopped at the entrance, looking at everything in front of him.

On both sides of the corridor were locked cages, and in each narrow cage was something that didn't look human... If one had to describe it, it could only be described as an evil ghost.

Some evil ghosts even had extremely terrifying and miserable appearances... some were maggot-ridden, some were headless, and there were too many types of appearances.

And the road under his feet had peculiar patterns, poured with some dark red things, like dried bloodstains, or like blood-red paint. On both sides of the corridor, a lamp with a blue flame was installed every other cage, but it was very dim, making the whole scene even more terrifying.

Su Yu stopped at the entrance. He heard the shrill screams coming from the evil ghosts inside, so he asked the man in white:

"Here, what is my condition for clearing the level?"

The man in white walked forward as if nothing had happened, seemingly accustomed to this kind of scene. Hearing Su Yu's voice, he quickly turned back and said:

"Just follow me through this corridor... but on the other side of the corridor, there may be even more terrifying things waiting for you. I can escort you to the end, but some of the tests must be attempted by you alone."

Hearing this, Su Yu's mouth twitched.

"So is this place hell?"

"Yes, and no. This is the scene you consider most terrifying in your heart. At this moment, as your nightmare-like existence, it is sending you an invitation to a trial." When the man in white said this, he laughed shortly, "And this is only the first level."

Su Yu was indeed afraid of such things, but as he became stronger, he gradually didn't feel that ghosts and monsters were very terrifying. Besides, he had a life-bound beast, which could solve everything for him.

So Su Yu said:

"Let's go."

The man in white looked at him deeply. In the next second, he stepped out.

Su Yu followed behind the man in white.

From the first second he stepped onto that corridor, the evil ghost in the first cage seemed to have smelled some delicious food that made it drool, rushing from the darkest corner to the front of the cage, shaking the iron bars, and even trying to reach out a mutilated hand to grab him.

The corridor was already narrow. When the evil ghost stretched out both hands, Su Yu was forced to lean to the other side, but when he realized there was still a cage on the other side, he stopped in place.

The evil ghost opposite the first cage was obviously a bit slow. When Su Yu stopped outside the cage, it seemed to feel something and walked slowly to the front of the cage. It didn't rush like its neighbor opposite, but opened its bloody mouth, grinning with a mouthful of sharp teeth, trying to break through the iron cage.

Su Yu realized that if this continued, he would likely be dragged in, so he didn't hesitate anymore, grabbed the man in white's sleeve, and rushed forward.

But Su Yu's scent was like a fine delicacy to these evil ghosts; no evil ghost could escape the meat fragrance belonging to a living person that Su Yu emitted.
