One has to admit, the endurance of a half-dragon is quite impressive.
Carrying Long Ren while running for over ten minutes, he was panting, but his speed did not decrease at all.
Of course, the horned elephant chasing behind was even stronger.
It even had a fight with the giant frog and still didn’t fall behind.
In fact, it’s been three and a half days since the second round began, and Li Pu had only been to two domains.
When stepping into the Wood Realm, he felt like entering a new world.
The environnt here was like a tropical rainforest.
The atmosphere gave him a feeling that it wouldn’t be surprising to see ancient relics appear at any mont.
Crash! Crash!
The sound of trees being knocked over behind them was unceasing.
"Are you sure that valley can really impede it?"
Hearing this, Li Pu couldn’t help but doubt.
What if that horned elephant flattens the valley too?
"I don’t know, we have no choice but to try."
"Almost there, less than 2 kiloters ahead."
In reality, Long Ren wasn’t very confident.
Li Pu: "Alright, let’s go."
kiloters at their current speed was just a matter of minutes.
If it still doesn’t work, then he might have to rely on endurance, carrying Long Ren and running if necessary as the Scorpion Silk Technique wears off.
Soon, the Secluded Valley Entrance shrouded in thorns appeared in front of them.
"Charge through."
Li Pu instructed the straw man who maintained a distance of ten paces ahead.
[Grass!]
The straw man raised both arms to show acknowledgent and then quickened its pace.
Buzz...!
However, the expected scene of thorns breaking did not occur.
Upon contact with the straw man, they discovered the valley’s entrance was full of hidden tricks.
Like an air wall, a large hole automatically opened where it was touched, allowing passage through.
The two exchanged a glance, and Long Ren showed a puzzled look: "Illusion Technique?"
Previously, he thought this Wood Realm was strange, randomly transported here along with his seniors, only to lose track of them shortly after.
Li Pu had also heard Wu Guinan and others ntion this about the Wood Realm.
They said that without extra precautions or ways to connect with teammates and recognize the terrain, one could easily get lost.
"No, it’s not Illusion Technique."
However, Li Pu was very certain at this mont.
Because if it were an Illusion Technique, he and the straw man would have seen through it instantly.
"Perhaps it’s sothing like a disguised protective barrier."
He provided his own explanation.
"Is that so?"
Long Ren was noncommittal.
After all, he previously never had the opportunity to get close enough to understand the situation.
While talking, they quickly passed through the rging hole that the straw man opened, which was gradually shrinking.
Barely a few steps after they entered, the hole closed and restored itself.
BAM!!!
[Baa painful!]
Soon after, a loud noise ca from behind.
The two felt the surrounding mountain walls and ground shake, turning back to see the horned elephant sitting on the ground, its long trunk dripping with blue light fluid.
The senior and the onion man looked as if they were stuck to the air wall, slowly sliding down from their perspective.
"It’s indeed a protective barrier! And it’s quite sturdy!"
Long Ren exclaid.
Due to the horned elephant being blocked, they subconsciously stopped in their tracks.
"Why can we enter, but it can’t?"
Li Pu was more focused on this point.
Under their gaze, the horned elephant got back up.
It charged the barrier again, this ti using its huge horns, more prepared.
BAM!!!
[Baa baa baa?!]
The result remained unchanged, and it fell over again.
"What’s going on?!"
The senior’s face turned pale in shock, having clearly seen the two slipping into the valley earlier.
Moreover, what on earth was this barrier?!
[Baa!!]
Under his command, the horned elephant’s horns started rotating like a turbo, preparing to use a skill.
BOOM!!!
[Baa roar!!!]
Yet the barrier remained unshaken; instead, the horned elephant was sent rolling several tis.
Getting up, it felt heavy-headed and dizzy, taking a while to recover.
[Baa not doing this!]
Ultimately, it was the first to give up.
"You’re lucky this ti, don’t let see you in the next tournant round!"
At this, the senior could only throw in a threat before leaving.
"Phew..."
Seeing the situation, Long Ren couldn’t help but sigh in relief: "Was it really that simple to shake him off?"
Although he didn’t know why they could pass through the barrier while the horned elephant couldn’t, thinking back to when he was so close but didn’t enter, he felt a sense of regret.
It felt as if they had been chased by this madman for days for nothing.
"Since we’re here, let’s explore a bit."
Li Pu suggested.
Given the current circumstance, they dared not venture out imdiately, uncertain if others were lying in ambush.
Moreover, that peculiar barrier sparked curiosity about the valley.
It was just the right ti as he tugged at the insect silk on his back and managed to pull it off.
Perfect, this way, they could move more freely.
"Alright, let’s go."
Seeing this, Long Ren also untied the insect silk binding him to the half-dragon.
As for their attitude towards the valley, the summoned creatures had a totally different perspective.
