Chapter 2368: Chapter 2347: Is This the Secret Realm?

After about a cup of tea’s time, Tangyuan carefully confirmed the surrounding terrain repeatedly, then descended from the sky.

"Boss, I haven’t been here before..." Tangyuan said very awkwardly. It had been sleeping all the way and didn’t pay attention to how Lin Feng and Tao Tao were walking, so now it didn’t even know its location.

"Aren’t you claiming to know everything?" Lin Feng looked at Tangyuan and asked in a very peculiar tone.

"Well... Boss, I only said I know everything about the places I’ve been to, but I really haven’t been here..." Tangyuan immediately felt a bad premonition when it heard Lin Feng’s voice and quickly explained.

"Don’t you also have treasure hunting abilities?" Tao Tao chimed in from the side, giving Tangyuan a particular look as if to say that if it didn’t work diligently, she, Miss Tao Tao, wouldn’t be polite either.

Seeing Lin Feng and Tao Tao’s expressions, Tangyuan instantly became dejected, using an extremely pitiful gaze at Lin Feng and Tao Tao. However, Lin Feng and Tao Tao were not influenced by Tangyuan’s pitiful act, knowing full well what kind of fellow Tangyuan was—lazy! If they’re not pressured, this guy wouldn’t work!

Seeing Lin Feng and Tao Tao completely unaffected, Tangyuan immediately started crying, complaining miserably, "You guys are exploiting beasts like this!"

After saying that, it twisted its chubby body, floating in mid-air, its demon energy bursting out, as if brewing some ultimate move...

Lin Feng and Tao Tao watched Tangyuan intently. They both knew Tangyuan had the ability to treasure hunt, which was something Tangyuan boasted about, but neither of them had seen it in action. So, when Tangyuan used its ability this time, they wanted to see how exactly Tangyuan would explore for treasures.

In an instant, the demon energy on Tangyuan intensified. What surprised Lin Feng and Tao Tao immensely was that the demon energy formed a white eye in the sky, with Tangyuan at its center. As time passed, the white eye became more solid, resembling an eye that could see through everything between heaven and earth, making even Lin Feng and Tao Tao feel a chill, as if they were being seen through by this eye.

A full half-hour later, this white eye became completely solid. Suddenly, Tangyuan’s body changed, turning into a mass of black mist, making the white eye appear even more eerie. Just as Lin Feng and Tao Tao were unaware of what would happen next, an unexpected event occurred.

The white eye seemed to come alive, blinking a few times, then looking around. A seemingly transparent space fluctuation twisted the surrounding area, as everything the white eye glanced over seemed to vanish, and then reappear. The covered area spanned over a hundred miles...

After the white eye surveyed the area, it gradually blurred and then suddenly vanished. Tangyuan then fell from the sky.

Seeing this situation, Lin Feng suddenly moved and caught Tangyuan instantly. Looking at Tangyuan in his arms, Lin Feng felt heartache because Tangyuan’s fur was dry and its spirit was extremely weak, as if it had gone through a severe illness!

"Tangyuan..." Tao Tao quickly grabbed Tangyuan from Lin Feng, her eyes teary. She now realized why Tangyuan was so unwilling before. Apparently, using its power caused such severe damage to Tangyuan. Had she known, she wouldn’t have forced Tangyuan to do it.

Tangyuan struggled to open its eyes, pointing a small paw in one direction, and said to Lin Feng, "Boss, I checked it. Thirty miles away, there’s a cave, the only special place. If there’s a Secret Realm, it’s probably there."

Just after saying this, Tangyuan couldn’t keep its eyes open, closed them with a yawn, and muttered, "So sleepy, need to sleep first."

After simply saying this, Tangyuan fell asleep directly in Tao Tao’s arms, so fast asleep, reflecting how much energy it consumed using its treasure hunting abilities, making Tao Tao’s eyes red, holding Tangyuan tightly in her arms, fearing something might happen to Tangyuan again.

"Let’s go have a look."

Lin Feng spoke gently to Tao Tao, and after speaking, he headed in the direction Tangyuan indicated. It’s not that he didn’t care for Tangyuan, but he had to become stronger now, and if there was a chance to enhance Tangyuan’s strength, he’d certainly want Tangyuan to grow stronger as well.

Tao Tao obediently nodded and followed Lin Feng, but kept an eye on Tangyuan in her arms, feeling concerned for Tangyuan.

Thirty miles was only a flash for Lin Feng and Tao Tao.

When the two arrived outside a cave, Lin Feng’s eyes lit up because he saw blood traces at the cave entrance, signs of demon beasts’ battle, and few places even showed sword marks. From this, it could be deduced that there had once been a fight between a demon beast and a human here, otherwise, such a scene couldn’t have occurred.

"Be careful."

Lin Feng said softly to Tao Tao and stepped into the cave. Seeing this, Tao Tao didn’t speak but raised her vigilance as she followed Lin Feng into the cave.

What shocked Lin Feng was that once they entered the cave, it seemed very deep, and for some reason, this cave could block Divine Sense’s detection. They could only use sight and hearing to perceive everything within the cave.

"Snap!"

Lin Feng snapped his fingers, and a flame appeared in his hand. Using the light of the flame, they proceeded deeper into the cave.

Perhaps because that young man in a green robe and red sword had already cleared the path, they encountered nothing along the way, except for occasional spots of demon beast blood on the ground and nothing else.

Having traveled nearly several miles, Lin Feng and Tao Tao stopped because they had arrived in a hall where a suffocatingly bloody scent filled the air. Scanning the distance, they immediately noticed a demon beast’s corpse spanning over a hundred feet in the hall. The body bore hundreds of deep sword marks reaching the bone, evidencing how miserably it was abused during its lifetime.

"Brother Lin, the opponent seems very strong!" Tao Tao remarked, frowning as well, noting from the demon beast’s aura that it was close to transforming, yet now it was so tragically dead. This showed how exaggerated the strength of the person the Dong Brothers mentioned, who wielded a green robe and red sword.

"Very strong indeed, let’s search around." Lin Feng nodded at her words, then began surveying the hall.

The hall was naturally formed, with stalactite-like crystals on the surrounding rock walls, whose many years of existence were unknown. But that’s not the focus; the focus is that these stalactite-like crystals seem to have a particular use. Gaze upon them, and they create a drifting effect, making it seem like the vision is skewed.

Seeing this, Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly. Now he noticed some differences here because while these stalactites appear ordinary, they’re anything but. If his guess was right, perhaps sometime countless years ago, a Super Powerhouse used the structure of these stalactites to open a Secret Realm here, leveraging the terrain to make it easier and more stable.

"Brother Lin, I haven’t found anything unusual?" Tao Tao circled around, returning to Lin Feng and speaking. The ground was covered with the giant demon beast’s blood, and she found nothing unique in the surrounding space, making her curious about where exactly the Secret Realm entrance was.

At this time, Lin Feng didn’t respond but closed his eyes, then unleashed his Divine Sense to examine everything in the hall. Though Divine Sense was obstructed, he mobilized it fully to scrutinize everything inside the hall.

Inspecting inch by inch, leaving no stone unturned, Lin Feng opened his eyes only after a cup of tea time passed, striding towards a rock wall in the hall. This rock wall appeared ordinary, no difference from elsewhere. If there was anything different, it was the patterns on it, resembling tree rings.

At the edge of the rock wall, Lin Feng’s eyes abruptly widened. He unleashed Yuangang from his body, and a pale white Yuangang appeared on his fingertip. Then he pointed this finger at the rock wall.

Tao Tao silently watched beside, still confused about Lin Feng’s actions even after he extended that finger. Then, something unexpected happened.

"Bang!"

Lin Feng’s finger didn’t touch the rock wall. Instead, it seemed to strike a transparent membrane, producing a low booming sound throughout the hall. From her angle, she could clearly see a transparent membrane blocking Lin Feng’s finger from advancing further.

"Is this... a Secret Realm?"

Tao Tao exclaimed in surprise, watching. She never expected a Secret Realm to appear like this, thinking to herself that this was quite different from her expectation.

"This isn’t a Secret Realm, just its entrance." Lin Feng explained to Tao Tao, gazing at the transparent membrane. He felt immensely curious about why the creator of the Secret Realm chose to construct one here and what exactly was hidden within it or if it housed a unique world altogether.
