After Chase met up with Scott, both of them rushed to the entrance of the secret realm. There was already a crowd there.A few of Capital City's influential families had sent men there, and Chase recognized a few of them. There was Everett Cooper, Kingston Salvatore, and many others. Most of those in the crowd were independent cultivators, although all of them were marquises of martial arts. There was no true master of martial arts present, and everyone looked to be in their 30s.No one reacted when Scott and Chase appeared.Chase had put on the mask that Kingston had given him. It was able to hide him from being sensed by other practitioners, and his face was changed to look common.No one knew who he was except for Kingston, who seemed to recognize Chase. He nodded at Chase while Chase responded covertly.There was peace until the sun began to rise.Four figures suddenly appeared in the sky without warning. Four mysterious men floated mid-air, and the auras on them revealed the
Work together? Chase wanted to laugh. What were they doing waiting only until now to ask everyone to work together?It was probably more than enough that they did not kill each other inside the secret realm.Most of them began to dilly-dally when it was announced that they could enter the secret realm.Chase did not hesitate and was the first to step into the black hole. The four powerhouses had opened the secret realm at the same time. Chase believed that there was nothing to worry about when it was opened in this manner.He felt the world spin around him. When Chase opened his eyes, he was in a whole new world.It was barren and quiet. Sand was flying in the wind, and the sky was about to turn dark. Chase was looking around him when Scott suddenly appeared behind him. It looked like he had come into the black hole right after Chase. Scott gave him a nod, and both of them began to inspect their surroundings.The place was immensely vast and different from every secret realm Chas
Huh?There really was another species?Chase reached out his senses carefully.He looked similar to humans but had sharper ears. He was extremely good-looking, and his clothes looked extravagant. He was surrounded by everyone else, but they were dressed like refugees compared to him. Behind the group of people was a cart that contained a few different types of wild beasts.Chase hid his aura and acted like an ordinary man as he waited at the roadside.It was not long before the group of men came near to Chase. They whispered among each other when they saw him. After a while, one of them who looked like the leader approached Chase to ask some questions. He was speaking in Bactrian."Hey, my friend, what are you doing here? Monsters roam this place at night. You don't look like a powerful person. I'd suggest that you return to your tribe as soon as possible," he advised Chase kindly.This place had a tribal system!Could this place still be stuck in the agricultural era?Chase
It was the same with this tribe. It was rare to see formidable human powerhouses. Tribes without anyone strong watching over them end up serving stronger tribes to gain protection. However, even those who served other tribes had a mix of strong and weak people."I'm impressed, Chase. You're out here hunting with your tribe at such a young age," the man was convinced that Chase was really as ordinary as he looked. He thought that Chase was one of those people who had joined the powerhouses of his tribe to go hunting because he wanted to see the world.Chase went along with him and said, "I have no choice, Becker. My tribe is very small, and we have to do this to feed ourselves." From their conversation, Chase found out his name was Becker Conlay.They chatted all the way, and Chase found out that the people living in this secret realm mainly hunted monsters in the wild. These monsters also fed on humans in turn.The group finally walked through the forest, and Chase saw the biggest
A dark elf was watching him from that big tree. It was the dark elf that Chase had seen, and he was paying attention to everything Chase did. Even though the elf said nothing about Chase coming to this tribe, he was watching Chase covertly.For some reason, he felt his consciousness being suppressed, and his range of sense was half of what he was used to in Bactria. When Chase reached out his consciousness up into the tree, he realized that there was a part of the tree up there that he could not sense at all.This was truly an unusual place.Chase said good night to Becker with a troubled heart. He went to sleep like a normal person. Since he had decided to be an ordinary person here, he had to be convincing even though this place was rich with spiritual energy.It was late after midnight when Chase finally sensed the elf gradually stop watching him. That elf was quite patient. That was when Chase also finally felt relieved.He had some questions for Lucas."Sir, can you try to h
Everyone was slightly relieved to hear that Chase knew this man.However, Becker continued asking, "Are you two really from the same tribe? Did we bump into another one of you so coincidentally?""Yes, what a coincidence, isn't it? It's all thanks to you, Becker. If you hadn't brought me here, I would never have been able to find Rufus," Chase returned to showing off his acting chops."You're my lucky star, Becker. If you hadn't brought me here, I wouldn't have known what to do. Without Rufus protecting me, it'd be difficult for me to go back to my tribe…" Chase kept on explaining how their group had split up during hunting.Chase told this story passionately, and it almost sounded like it was true. Even Chase almost convinced himself of it.In the end, he managed to quell the dark elf's suspicion temporarily, and the elf disappeared into the big tree. Chase knew that they had managed to get through the most difficult part of the night.As Chase and the man he called Rufus had n
"There are two or three of us. Why aren't you with your clan?" Chase had no idea how many of the Salvatores were here and just gave a vague answer."You probably have no idea about this, Chase, but everyone inside here wants an opportunity of their own. No one would be willing to share such a resource. What about you, Chase? Why are you not with the others?" Bo asked."That's because I'm on another mission," Chase replied mysteriously."I see. May I know what news you've found out about this place?" Bo could tell that Chase was much more powerful than he was and would be better at Bo at getting information, so he decided to ask Chase the question."It's embarrassing to tell you this, but I've been here almost a day, and I haven't found out much yet. I have no idea where opportunity lies in this place much less complete my mission. By the way, do you have the same mission?" Chase asked."Finding the crystal?" they said in unison."What exactly is that crystal?" Chase thought that
Chase knew that Bo had agreed so readily because he had revealed his power in front of Bo by suppressing him. If they were both equivalent in strength, Bo would not have even considered Chase's offer."By the way, I've hidden my real power here. Be careful not to reveal this. I'll follow your lead tomorrow, and we'll leave after saying goodbye to them. Try to find out more about this place," Chase instructed Bo before going to sleep.Bo did not object to the plan and agreed. It was not often that he would have the chance to order around someone more powerful than he was.After they were done discussing this, Chase retracted his consciousness, and there was silence until the next day.Not long after the sun rose, Chase pushed Bo to say goodbye to Becker and inform him that they were going off to find their lost friends.Even though Becker tried his best to convince them to stay, Bo was adamant about his decision. Rather, it was Chase who was adamant about this.Becker had no choic
