"Thanks to my brothers, Right Hand and Sima, for their 588, and to Qianmu and other brothers and sisters, thank you all."
Afo was being carried, accompanied by the two hunting team leaders and Miya, participating in this operation.
Clearly, they still felt a bit uneasy about Ye Zhongming.
"Is this the crop you planted?"
Upon exiting the passage, there were unfamiliar plants growing on the clearly cultivated land.
"Yes, we often eat meat, which can make us sick, so we must eat these. However, the soil of the Blue Continent is quite barren and has been cursed by the heartbroken witch. The earth is now poisoned."
Heartbroken witch?
Ye Zhongming's interest in this secret realm grew. It felt like a whole new world, of course... Ye Zhongming glanced at the sky, a new broken world.
Along the way, Afo shared a lot of information about the Blue Secret Realm. For instance, the area where Ye Zhongming appeared is called the Night Demon Plain, a place teeming with monsters, bordering the Starlight Mountain Region where posthumous children live, separated by the Necropolis Hill.
It is said that on the other side of the Starlight Mountain Region lies the territory of the Temple of Dawn. The people there possess formidable skills but are extremely xenophobic, considering posthumous children as inferior people, even denying their kinship.
Taking the opportunity to travel, Ye Zhongming naturally inquired about how to leave the Blue Secret Realm, albeit subtly. However, Afo didn’t provide much information. For someone who had never left the Starlight Mountain Region in his life, Ye Zhongming's question was too profound.
Nevertheless, Afo’s words were not without help for Ye Zhongming. At least he understood what kind of place this secret realm was, who the people were, and that monsters were rampant, dominating the area while humans barely survived, facing the danger of extinction.
He also learned that earthquakes frequently occurred in this area, varying in size and time, but happening very often. Afo’s statement left a strong impression on Ye Zhongming.
Afo said that every time there was a major earthquake, he felt the earth being torn apart, wailing, as if it were the desperate cries of humans before death.
This statement, while seemingly inconsequential, resonated deeply with Ye Zhongming.
He knew that Afo had extremely strong spiritual power, comparable to a Level Six Evil Dragon, and what concerned Ye Zhongming were those seemingly useless words.
The earth wailing, like the desperate cries before death.
Frequent earthquakes meant that the crust was unstable, and continental plates were frequently colliding. Looking at the drifting sky...
Ye Zhongming suddenly realized—was this secret realm on the verge of collapse?
This hypothesis made Ye Zhongming feel as if he were sitting on pins and needles; his desire to leave grew more urgent.
The journey encountered no danger. After all, this was the border area. The monsters of the Night Demon Plain could not cross the Necropolis Hill, seemingly fearing it greatly, while the monsters of the Starlight Mountain Region preferred to head deeper into the mountains where food was easier to find. Thus, there were not many monsters in this area.
Of course, this was relative, as the accumulated experiences of posthumous children over the years allowed them to know when to venture out, and now was the days of falling sand when monster activity had weakened.
Several hours later, the group arrived at the Necropolis Hill. Ye Zhongming now realized how fortunate he was to have crossed this desolate land without incident. According to Afo, entering the Necropolis Hill would provoke attacks from undead lifeforms, and as time passed, more undead would appear until they overwhelmed you.
Ye Zhongming's decision to instantly kill those undead with three low-level ice type natural gems was indeed wise; otherwise, as more undead appeared with higher levels, leaving would become increasingly difficult.
The people of the Afo Tribe had never dared to set foot here before and were trembling this time.
