Mingxi once again clearly recognized the dangers of this Mystic Ground.

The Resentful Horned Crocodiles were General-level Pet Beasts, and among them was a King-level Vicious Resentful Horned Crocodile.

The Ice Lump Turtles were also General-level Pet Beasts, and their leader was likewise King-level, the King-level Ice Lump River Turtle.

With two clans fighting, and two King-level Transcendent creatures participating, Mingxi and Golden Yuanbao naturally didn't have the courage to rush in and invite trouble. As soon as she noticed the unusual color of the water, she told Golden Yuanbao to stop.

Another hundred meters forward, and the abnormal sounds from ahead could be clearly heard.

The clash of weapons resonated, filled with a murderous aura.

The various sonic booms from familiar skills colliding were mixed with the shrill or angry cries of Transcendent creatures.

Various—

“Grudge, grudge!”

“Lump, lump!”

Sounds that were neither cute nor fierce overlapped, creating quite a commotion.

Golden Yuanbao said they were swearing very crudely, seemingly two different clans fighting over territory.

Yielding to curiosity, one person and one beast couldn't resist sneaking to the outermost edge to peek from afar, then quickly retracted their necks into their knees like turtles, without stopping.

They were all big shots.

Couldn't afford to provoke them.

Any single skill could send them away.

Daring not to linger, nor harboring any naive thoughts of profiting as a third party, one person and one beast acted as if that place was a dragon's den or a tiger's lair, wishing they could bypass it by a somersault cloud's distance.

They changed direction.

This time, they didn't encounter any other Transcendent creatures, but they did collect many good things.

There were the main ingredients for healing potions, Elk-style and Three-Business, and they also unexpectedly discovered a millennium-old Fused Ice Tree.

The sap of the Fused Ice Tree is a material that is almost always used in the production of most energy pellets, serving to fuse the effects of other materials and prevent medicinal properties from conflicting or being lost.

It's equivalent to a binder or a harmonizer.

The older the Fused Ice Tree, the more perfect the fusing effect, and the higher the quality of the energy pellets produced.

Currently, most Fused Ice Sap on the market is extracted from artificially cultivated Fused Ice Trees, which are not very old.

Like the Fused Ice Tree in front of them, which clearly looked at least a thousand years old, its sap was of inestimable value.

“Although this Mystic Ground is indeed a bit dangerous, its resources are truly abundant.”

It was no exaggeration to say that gold was everywhere here.

Thinking this, Mingxi felt that cross-server login wasn't such a bad thing after all.

As long as she wasn't made to meet her great-grandmother, a slightly longer lifespan was fine; she could handle it!

Extracting the Fused Ice Tree sap would take time. Given the thickness of this tree's trunk, it would probably take two or three days to finish.

Of course, she could also try to saw down the entire tree and # Nоvеlight # take it away, then have professionals extract the sap back home.

But Mingxi was unwilling to do something as exhaustive as draining the pond to catch all the fish.

Fortunately, Mingxi found a natural cave not far from the Fused Ice Tree.

The cave was not large, shaped like an inverted pear, with a narrow entrance and a more spacious interior.

Looking out from inside the cave, the view was wide and unobstructed. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Moreover, the size and height of this cave were just right for her and Golden Yuanbao to enter and exit.

There were no obvious traces of wild beasts or Transcendent creatures having lived in the cave, so this place should have been unoccupied recently, avoiding the awkwardness of a cuckoo occupying a magpie's nest.

After determining that the cave was suitable for resting at night, Mingxi began to take things out from her Time Realm.

Since they weren't sleeping under the open sky, there was no need to set up a tent.

First, she inflated the paper-thin mattress, then placed a sleeping bag on top of it.

Dinner was a bottle of water, two bananas, and a compressed biscuit.

The compressed biscuits in this world were made smaller; typically, a thumb-sized piece could keep one full for half a day.

They were nutritious, easy to carry, and didn't take up much space, but the taste was indescribable, somewhat like playdough.

Mingxi swallowed half a piece as if taking poison, then wrapped the remaining half and put it back.

She didn't know how long she would stay in this Mystic Ground. Typically, a Mystic Ground opens for a short period of two or three days, or as long as half a month.

When the Mystic Ground is about to close, the Mystic Ground's laws will automatically sense the presence of external creatures and open a spatial channel beside them.

Only by stepping into the channel can one leave the Mystic Ground.

If one doesn't enter before the channel disappears, then the only way to leave is to wait for the next opening of the Mystic Ground.

So Mingxi had to be mentally prepared to stay in this Mystic Ground for ten days to half a month.

However, she had only prepared four days' worth of food.

Therefore, to be safe, all food could only be eaten sparingly, and she also had to collect some edible wild fruits and vegetables along the way.

Night arrived late.

The unfamiliar Mystic Ground, which seemed no different from the outside world during the day, finally revealed its uniqueness at night.

Two moons hung in the sky.

One, a silver disc like jade, clear and frosty.

The other, a vibrant red like blood, eerie and dreamlike.

The two large discs hung high in the sky, one in the east and one in the west, vying for supremacy, splitting the entire night sky as if into two worlds.

It gave a sense of déjà vu, like watching a low-quality horror movie.

Eerie with a hint of gloom.

And within the gloom, a touch of absurdity.

“Chacha!”

“Guagua.”

“Kaka!”

“Zuoooo!”

“...”

When the moons rose, various sounds echoed from near and far.

Mingxi's head ached a bit from the noise.

These Transcendent creatures weren't this noisy during the day, were they? Why were they so loud after nightfall?

Was it related to those two moons?

As a poor student who had transmigrated less than a month ago, Mingxi's understanding of this world was very limited.

At least she had never heard of a Mystic Ground with two moons.

But she had heard of a Mystic Ground related to the moon, which was their Dragonflower Country's Moon Mirror Mystic Ground.

That's right, it was the Moon Mirror Mystic Ground where the ghost thunder flowers grew.

Because of the ghost thunder flowers, Mingxi had specifically learned about the Moon Mirror Mystic Ground in detail.

The Moon Mirror Mystic Ground, originally Mystic Ground No. 11, was solidified in X011. It was initially managed by the Longhua Country's Secret Realm Management Department, and in X098, the state authorized the Moon Mirror Mystic Ground to be managed by Wanling Beast University.

The Moon Mirror Mystic Ground only opened once every three years.

Its danger level was as high as 6 stars.

Wanling Beast University generally used it as a training and assessment ground for excellent students.

It was said that the Moon Mirror Mystic Ground had a mirror lake, and every night, a crimson blood moon would be reflected on the lake's surface.

It would gaze remotely at the moon in the sky, which changed normally through its phases.

The name Moon Mirror also came from this.

With a blood moon as well, could this Mystic Ground be related to the Moon Mirror Mystic Ground?

“Golden Yuanbao.”

Ever since the two moons appeared, Golden Yuanbao had been squatting at the entrance of the stone cave, looking up at the red moon with a profound expression.

Hearing her call it, it turned its head blankly.

“Lei?” What's wrong?

Mingxi looked at it: “You've been staring at the blood moon. Is there something wrong with it?”

Golden Yuanbao was silent for a while before nodding.

“Lei Lei.”

It said that where Xiao Ye used to live, the moon was also like this.

Mingxi was both delighted and startled, subconsciously holding her breath.

She was delighted because this was the first time Golden Yuanbao had mentioned its homeland. Did this mean it had lowered its guard against her?

She was startled because Golden Yuanbao's homeland also had a blood moon!

Could this be the place?
