After Favorability Is Maxed

184 It’s Gotta Be You! Chuichui!

“Alright, let’s go take a look first, then explore the interior of the palace.”

Liu Yuan muttered to himself and looked at the thicket. There were indeed traces of broken trees. Combined with her injuries, it seemed that she had fallen all the way here.

For this delicate beauty, this kidnapping trip could really be considered a difficult and dangerous one.

Liu Yuan had He Qingmeng walk in the middle with him, the injured one. In front of them was Chuichui, who had her head raised, and the two little foxes that were jumping around. Behind them were Zhiying and Hong Luan.

Of course, she did not have any ulterior motives, because she could be said to be the weakest in the entire team. However, he was also the most crucial. Although Hong Luan’s ‘blood’ was useful, He Qingmeng was still a legitimate descendant of the Martial Emperor.

Since the descendants of Martial Emperor were needed to enter this Secret Realm, perhaps other than using their blood to activate the mechanism, there might be other uses for it. There was no harm in protecting her well.

Liu Yuan felt that this setup was almost good enough for instance dungeons.

Now, there were two more little foxes in the team. They were also from the demon race, and like Chuichui, they had power far beyond that of ordinary Immortal cultivators in this Secret Realm. Moreover, these two little foxes also had a highly sensitive sense of smell.

To be able to track Liu Yuan from so far away in the tomb, he could also easily distinguish the smell that was left on Liu Yuan’s body half a month ago.

There were experts in scouting.

Chuichui was the shield, Zhiying and Hong Luan were the main damage dealers, Zhizhi was the healer, the little foxes were the scouts, Liu Yuan was the commander, and He Qingmeng was the NPC required for the mission. It was the perfect configuration for a dungeon.

Although pure physical damage output or pure physical monk teams were popular in the Martial Emperor’s Tomb instance dungeon, this kind of relatively balanced configuration was also considered mainstream. After all, it was not easy to gather a team of pure physical damage output above the standard. In comparison, players actually preferred to use a balanced configuration, but not magic classes.

If one’s level was higher and they were more familiar with the dungeon process, they would be able to pass it by looking at the guide.

It was like this in the Martial Emperor’s Tomb, and it was the same for this Secret Realm, which was similar in nature.

“Although we’re basically exploring a new dungeon right now, we’re still far better than player teams in terms of level and quality.” Liu Yuan criticized silently.

They followed He Qingmeng’s directions and came to the forest behind the white jade palace.

They were surrounded by towering trees with lush branches and leaves wrapped in all kinds of dark green vines, but it was quiet all around, without the sound of insects or birds, which was particularly strange.

This island had a sense of desolation.

“Where’s the corpse?” The two little foxes stopped and looked at the bloodstains on the ground with their big round eyes.

The ground was covered with blood, and the flowers and plants were splattered with a very glaring red. The fallen trees were full of potholes, and the traces of breaking were very rough. One look and one could tell that they had suffered a huge impact, and the intensity of the battle was evident.

It was just as He Qingmeng had said. Whether it was in the tomb or in this Secret Realm, they hadn’t gained any benefits. Instead, they had been in a difficult situation.

“The Bi Luo Mansion’s wooden token!” The little foxes sniffed the air and then looked at a small wooden tablet on the ground.

As employees of the Green Centipede, they were extremely sensitive to Bi Luo Mansion. They ran over to pick up the wooden token and handed it to Liu Yuan as if they were presenting a treasure.

Liu Yuan took the wooden token and touched the heads of the two little foxes. He looked at the two lolis rubbing their heads against his palm with a satisfied expression. It felt like he was playing a frisbee game with two dogs.

He looked at it and confirmed that it was the wooden token of Bi Luo Mansion. He guessed that the two remaining leaders had also died here, but now he was in a daze.

Not only were the corpses gone, but the half-dead monsters that He Qingmeng had mentioned were also gone.

“There are traces of being dragged,” Zhiying suddenly pushed aside a bush of grass and said calmly.

Liu Yuan went over and saw a long bloody mark.

The blood had already seeped into the soil, and some parts that had to be covered with mosaic could still be vaguely seen. It meandered all the way to a small slope, still pointing to the white jade palace.

In the silence of the surroundings, the blood marks immediately reminded people of the scene of the half-dead monster dragging the body down.

As expected of the only dungeon in the game with a terrifying atmosphere.

It was really a cultivation version of Resident Evil.

He Qingmeng was so frightened that she closed her eyes and hid behind Liu Yuan. She held onto his arm tightly and pressed her soft and delicate body against his. It was enough to make one’s imagination run wild.

Liu Yuan patted the back of her hand to comfort her. This feeling of being relied on was very novel. Although he had many women now, there were not many who needed his protection. Most of the time, he was the one being protected.

It didn’t seem appropriate to put it this way, but generally speaking, because they were all Immortal cultivators with high martial strength, the women in this world all had a strong side to their characters, and it was rare to see a woman such a really weak character.

Liu Yuan consoled her, “Don’t be afraid. Just follow me closely. You’ll hide wherever I hide. I’m most afraid of death anyway. I’m 80 percent sure I can find the safest place.”

This was not a lie. His intuition had always been quite accurate. When trying to figure out a conquering strategy, there were many times when it required a little luck.

“Yes, thank you, Young Master, ” He Qingmeng replied timidly.

Everyone followed the trail of blood to the vicinity of the white jade Palace. They saw a black, square-shaped doorway. It was also covered with vines and looked like it had been sealed for a long time.

Now that it was opened again, it was already stained with blood.

Liu Yuan observed carefully for a while and realized that this was the entrance. The building he had seen earlier should have been the building behind, but it had now become a real pile of ruins because of the spider.

Half of the entire palace was buried in the soil, so the doorway was somewhat slanted. Everyone carefully approached it, but Zhiying’s expression became serious, and said, “There’s something not far from the door.”

Liu Yuan’s scalp tingled. He tried his best to calm down and say, “Retreat first.”

“It’s too late. It’s coming,” Zhiying said calmly.

“!!!”

F*cking [ beep-] calm my *ss!

Liu Yuan’s eyes widened as he saw two devilish purple eyes emerge from the pitch-black door, as if they were burning.

Then, a hoarse scream came.

It sounded like the shrieks of apes and monkeys, very mournful.

Whoosh!

From the doorway, a huge black shadow suddenly jumped out, carrying a shocking aura and pressure, as well as an extremely foul stench of decay. It was as if it could topple mountains and overturn the seas as it rushed over.

“Chuichui!”

Liu Yuan shouted and let go of Chuichui.

Chuichui jumped down and immediately changed from cat form to fully released dragon form.

Her cute and harmless appearance instantly turned into a huge demon beast. Her vertical pupils were red like boiling lava-and its ferocious scales were burning with raging flames. She had-slender body, towering horns, and sharp claws-the four claws of-flood dragon slammed onto the ground. Her huge body blocked everyone, and its tail swept across the ground, immediately plowing a mark.

“Roar-!!” The demon dragon opened her bloody mouth, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth and a long tongue. It roared angrily at the black shadow that had scuttled out, setting off a gust of wind.

The black shadow paused for a moment, as if it was stunned.

Then, it could not help but take half a step back.
