Although the air temperature wasn't low, with her personal terminal showing 21℃, the chill from the ground was enough to kill invisibly.

Yet, there were no signs of frost or ice on the ground or stone walls, and so many beautiful flowers and plants could still grow around. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Birds chirped, flowers bloomed, and spring was in full swing.

Everything looked incredibly natural and harmonious.

Indeed, this world couldn't be judged by common sense, especially since this was a magical secret realm.

She had to be even more careful and cautious.

“Lei Lei.”

“Luo Luo.”

Golden Yuanbao and Little Silver Flower both nodded upon hearing this. With their own Beast Tamers as a cautionary tale, they also understood the unusual nature of this place.

Even the delicate Little Silver Flower perked up, carefully observing its surroundings.

What should they do next?

Directly retreating from the canyon was certainly not a good idea, but Mingxi also didn't intend to go deeper into the ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) canyon; she always felt it was more unsafe inside.

Otherwise, why wouldn't that group of large bees follow them in, since they were also Flight-type pet beasts?

Mingxi guessed that either there was a more fearsome existence in the canyon that they dreaded, or their natural enemies grew nearby.

She thought for a moment, and the loud pet beast identifier once again made its appearance, aimed at the largest bee outside the canyon—

“Honey Wine Blue-Winged Bee: Flight-type Shi-level Transcendent creature, evolved from the primary Transcendent creature Honey Wine Winged Bee.

The Honey Wine Winged Bee clan is one of the relatively rare Transcendent creatures that cannot be contracted by Beast Tamers, because they only pledge loyalty to their queen.

Even if a forced contract succeeds, it will immediately backfire on the Beast Tamers, even at the cost of their lives.”

Transcendent creatures that only pledge loyalty to the sole female of their species are indeed quite rare.

However, this situation usually only occurs in bee-type and ant-type Transcendent creatures.

“Furthermore, Honey Wine Winged Bees only collect nectar from the Moonlit Wine Immortal Flower, and the honey they brew is called wine immortal honey.

It is said that long-term consumption of wine immortal honey brewed by Honey Wine Winged Bees can prolong life and grant eternal blessings, oh.”

Mingxi: “...”

What the heck is “eternal blessings”?

Which company produced this pet beast identifier? She would complain when she got back.

It was spouting nonsense and disturbing her mind.

However, Mingxi believed that wine immortal honey was definitely a good thing.

Otherwise, Little Silver Flower wouldn't keep wanting to eat it; even while fleeing for its life, it didn't stop happily gnawing on the honey block.

Thinking of the huge beehive she had just put into the Time Realm, Mingxi's heart felt like it was soaking in a honey pot, so sweet!

At this moment, the pet beast identifier continued to play: “The wing color of Honey Wine Winged Bees will continuously deepen with evolution; the higher the level, the darker the wing color.

The Honey Wine Black-Winged Bee is the peak evolution of this species, reaching the Emperor-level.”

Although this pet beast identifier was hard to describe, its explanations were very detailed.

Overall, the good outweighed the bad.

Putting away the pet beast identifier, Mingxi did nothing else.

She just sat quietly on Golden Yuanbao’s back, looking like an old monk in meditation.

Little Silver Flower, on the other hand, simply occupied Golden Yuanbao’s throne—Mingxi’s left shoulder, holding a honey block with its short toes and elegantly enjoying it.

From time to time, it would even bring it to Mingxi’s mouth, acting spoiled and wanting to share with its older sister.

Mingxi didn't mind that the honey block had been gnawed by it; each time, she carefully bit off a small piece and held it in her mouth.

Not to mention, the taste was indeed excellent, sweet but not cloying, melting in her mouth, better than any candy she had ever eaten before.

Moreover, after eating it, she felt refreshed.

The fatigue in her body was gradually disappearing.

“Golden Yuanbao, you also eat some honey blocks. This thing seems to replenish stamina.”

She quickly stuffed several pieces into Golden Yuanbao’s mouth.

Golden Yuanbao’s reaction to eating it was extraordinary.

Compared to the zhuangdan fruit that made it question its existence with its bitterness, the honey block was simply a divine product.

It let out two low calls, expressing its approval of the honey block.

Its gluttonous little sister was still good.

After a long while, it couldn't help but call out again, asking Mingxi what to do next.

Mingxi: “Wait.”

Wait for what?

Wait for the secret realm to close?

Or wait for that group of Honey Wine Winged Bees to disperse on their own?

But they had taken their nest; would they really give up chasing them?

Golden Yuanbao became even more confused.

However, its curiosity wasn't strong, and knowing that its own Beast Tamers had her own considerations, it quieted down.

About half an hour passed.

The Honey Wine Winged Bees outside the canyon did not decrease but increased. Looking out, there were dense, massive compound eyes everywhere.

This scene had the imposing momentum of Bai Qi encircling and annihilating the Zhao army during the Battle of Changping.

It was quite intimidating.

Mingxi then spoke, “Little Silver Flower, can your Barrier block poisonous gas?”

“Luo Luo.” Of course, no problem.

Upon receiving its affirmative answer, Mingxi gained three more points of confidence in her plan.

“Good, then later we will do this and that...”

One person and two beasts, three heads, huddled together again, then let out strange cackling sounds.

The Honey Wine Winged Bees outside the canyon did not know what kind of disaster they were about to face.

Two minutes later, thick black smoke rose within the canyon. The black smoke, carried by the wind, drifted out of the valley in wisps.

Soon, those Honey Wine Winged Bees started to cry out, their voices filled with panic and unease.

Although Mingxi didn't understand what they were shouting, she still smiled.

It seemed she had made the right gamble.

It was known that the Honey Wine Winged Bees hated them to the core, not hesitating to mobilize the entire clan to besiege them.

But they were also very wary of this canyon.

Even though the entire clan had been mobilized, not a single Honey Wine Winged Bee dared to enter the canyon.

Was this reasonable?

Mingxi thought it was unreasonable.

Even if there were other Transcendent creatures in the valley that the Honey Wine Winged Bees feared, they wouldn't be so afraid as to not even dare to get a little closer.

Mingxi’s purpose in using the pet beast identifier just now was not entirely to identify the Honey Wine Winged Bees, but also to confirm something.

The pet beast identifier at maximum volume had an effect comparable to a motorcycle gang revving their engines in the street.

But half an hour passed, and the canyon remained peaceful and serene.

This proved that even if there was a very powerful Transcendent creature inside the canyon, it would not easily appear.

So Mingxi was certain that there was something else inside this canyon that the Honey Wine Winged Bees feared or that would cause damage to their bodies.

For example.

The exceptionally beautiful flowers and plants growing on both sides of the stone path.

So she lit a patch of flowers.

The effect was immediate; the Honey Wine Winged Bee swarm quickly became chaotic. Mingxi noticed their wings were fading.

Blue faded to light green.

Dark green faded to goose yellow.

Wings are a symbol of the Honey Wine Winged Bee clan’s strength, so this fading phenomenon could only mean that their strength was rapidly regressing.

Mingxi looked at the burning flower patch, not knowing what kind of flowers these were, that they could pose such a great threat to the Honey Wine Winged Bee clan.

No wonder they didn't dare to enter the valley.

It turned out their natural enemies were here.

Mingxi patted the Golden Yuanbao beneath her: “Let’s begin.”
