Chapter 139: A Mysterious Alternate Space

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Zhou Mingrui pondered. “Then, what’s our current situation? Should we leave this place or not?”

Yan Wuyue thought for two seconds. “We’ll explore this place first. If we encounter any danger, we’ll go back directly. Didn’t I ask you to leave an item with your energy?”

“With that, we can use it as an energy coordinate. We can leave this place at any time.”

Zhou Mingrui grunted in agreement. He knew that Yan Wuyue would definitely arrange a backup plan, so he was not worried about this.

“The only thing we need to worry about now is the level of this secret realm. If it’s a mid to high-level secret realm, we must leave immediately.”

“If it’s a low-level secret realm, we can explore it. After all, we’re still too weak.” Yan Wuyue said with a serious look.

Zhou Mingrui raised his brows. “It’s fine if it’s a high-level secret realm. But don’t tell me that we can’t explore a mid-level secret realm with our current strength?”

Yan Wuyue forced a smile. “That’s right. With our current strength, we can only explore low-level secret realms. After all, this is a secret realm of an alternate space. You’ll know once you feel the surroundings.”

Upon hearing that, Zhou Mingrui began to notice the energy reaction around him. Then, he realized that it was at least ten times denser than the outside world.

“Did you notice? How strongly do you think a life form that grows up in such an environment would be?”

Yan Wuyue’s face turned very serious. “You must know that the energy distribution in the alternate space secret realm is not even, which means that the energy density may be much higher in some places in this space.”

“And in those places, the chances of powerful monsters and precious treasures being born are higher. Even in my previous life, I didn’t dare to go into a mid-level secret realm.

“A low-level alternate space secret realm is equivalent to a deadly ordinary secret realm. We have to be careful at all times.”

Zhou Mingrui was silent for a moment. Then, he looked at Yan Wuyue and said solemnly, “I understand. I’ll be careful, but I think your safety is the most important. After all, if I die, I’ll only need to spend resources and energy to be reborn, but you’re different.”

Upon hearing this, Yan Wuyue’s serious face suddenly showed a smile.

“I know, but it’s best if the two of us get the treasure together and get out safely. That will be the best.” Yan Wuyue said with a gentle smile.

If someone from her past life saw this scene, their jaws would probably drop.

It was hard to imagine that the ice goddess could have such a gentle side.

“Where’s Zhao Anqi? You’re with her, right?” Yan Wuyue continued to ask.

“I let her stay in the outside world. If there’s no response after 30 minutes, I’ll let her contact her father and ask him to bring people over to find us.” Zhou Mingrui answered.

“Mmm, although your method is correct, I forgot to tell you that the time flow in the alternate space secret realm is different from that in the Heavenly Saint world.” Yan Wuyue said with a sigh.

“How much is the difference between the flow of time?” Zhou Mingrui asked curiously.

“Every alternate space secret realm is different. It can only be determined after we leave. Some are fast while others are slow.” Yan Wuyue answered.

“Forget it. Since I’m already here, I’ll just explain when I get out.” Zhou Mingrui had no choice but to cast aside this distracting thought.

Soon, the two stopped talking and began to walk out of the cave under Yan Wuyue’s lead. Then they began to explore the surroundings.

The environment here was completely different from that of the Heavenly Saint’s world, be it the plants, insects, or even the shape of the sky.

[From now on, we’ll communicate spiritually. Remember to use your energy to cover your body at all times and try not to come into contact with the outside world.]

While exploring, Yan Wuyue said, [Because of the difference in the world, the microorganisms here have also changed. You’ll likely be infected with super bacteria and superviruses.]

Zhou Mingrui was alarmed. Thankfully, he had already done so when he entered the space.

However, on second thought, he was no longer a human but had a semi-energy body. He was not as afraid of these things as humans.

The two of them continued to fumble their way forward. Soon, Zhou Mingrui came to realize how strange the creatures in this space were.

There was a humanoid creature that was more than ten meters tall. It had eight thick long limbs on its back, and it looked like a human spider.

It had a face without any facial features, and two pitch-black eyeballs were half-embedded in its chest. At the same time, a huge, vertical mouth was flowing with a pale yellow liquid.

[Don’t look at it. These creatures have very strong instincts. Once we are discovered, it will be difficult to get rid of them.]

Yan Wuyue hurriedly reminded him, and only then did Zhou Mingrui retract his gaze.

As he watched the monster walk forward, Zhou Mingrui asked in puzzlement, [This guy doesn’t seem to have any intelligence.]

Yan Wuyue said helplessly, [But it’s precisely this kind of monster with no intelligence that will keep chasing you once it locks on to you. It’s easy to attract the attention of other monsters, and it won’t be easy to end it.]

Just as they were more than a few hundred meters away from each other, a huge tremor suddenly came from behind them, causing Zhou Mingrui and Yan Wuyue to turn their heads at the same time.

The humanoid monster suddenly stopped and looked around in confusion as if it was looking for something.

Just two seconds later, the ground rumbled, and a slope suddenly rose from the ground.

As the soil and rocks continued to slide down, a dark purple figure broke out of the soil. Its target was the humanoid monster that was standing in place.

The humanoid monster immediately used its hand to grab the dark purple figure. It was also at this moment that Zhou Mingrui could clearly see the figure’s appearance.

Its entire body was covered in a dark purple hard shell, and the front end of its body was extremely strong, with four thick limbs like the claws of an eagle.

The giant mouth that took up almost half of its head had already opened and was biting toward the humanoid monster.

Before the humanoid monster that had just caught the other party could rejoice, the other party shook its head and broke free. Then, when its strong forelimbs landed on the ground, it opened its mouth and bit its two arms.

With a crack, the two arms were cut off at the elbow and then swallowed by the dark purple monster.

The humanoid monster that had its hand devoured seemed to be enraged. It strode toward the dark purple monster, and the remaining six giant hands clenched into fists and smashed into the dark purple monster’s body.

The dark purple monster endured the punches and did not attack.

Under such circumstances, Zhou Mingrui felt the ground beneath his feet begin to tremble. Then, he saw the dark purple monster’s body suddenly tremble before it immediately leaped backward.

After dodging the humanoid monster’s attack, the dark purple monster used its sharp claws to grab the humanoid monster’s head the moment it landed.

The next moment, a sound like a water ball exploding reverberated in all directions.
