Chapter 246: The Increasingly Hot Valley!
Chapter 246: The Increasingly Hot Valley!
Su Ping's gaze fell upon the pile of corpses.
Due to the winter season, there were no signs of decay, and instead, everything seemed frozen in time.
The extreme cold had left most of the bodies stiff and rigid.
Melting snow trickled down the rocky cliffs.
An indescribable sense of coldness permeated the air.
This feeling made Su Ping slightly uneasy.
There was something strange about this place!
But he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
Su Ping glanced at the others who were still enthusiastically commanding their pets in battle nearby. After a moment's thought, he patted Dahuang's body and said, "Dahuang, go ahead and take a look. Also, be careful and don't let anything happen."
This time, Dahuang nodded solemnly, a stark contrast to his previous nonchalance and disdain.
Had this guy sensed something too?
Su Ping wasn't sure, but he led Xiao Wuya forward.
The wild birds and beasts still remained within the valley.
Although their eyes were fixed on Dahuang, they showed no signs of backing down.
Without Su Ping's command, all the birds that dared to block Dahuang's path were instantly turned into a pool of blood.
However, this sight only made Su Ping more curious about the valley's strangeness.
Even ants value their lives! When faced with the threat of death, fear is a natural instinct for all living beings, and avoiding danger is always the top priority.
Yet, at this very moment, these small creatures in the valley, even in the face of Qin Xiaoxue and the others' hunting game, and the overwhelming dominance of the Yellow Dragon, showed little panic and continued to stay in the valley.
What was so alluring about this valley and the upcoming secret realm that these birds couldn't resist?
But what kind of attraction could make these wild birds and pets disregard even death?
Was this even possible? As Su Ping pondered this, he followed Dahuang with firm steps, reaching the very center of the valley.
They arrived at the cliff where the birds' corpses were piled.
From a distance, it didn't seem like much.
But now, standing right before it, Su Ping truly realized the sheer number of corpses that lay there.
The cliff was packed with bodies.
There were all sorts of birds among them.
Most had been killed by various means, and some had died from falling.
Su Ping looked up at the cave in the cliff, his eyebrows furrowing.
Meanwhile, Xiao Wuya, who was standing nearby, had gone into the endless pile of corpses at his feet, quickly searching for something.
Soon, he found several Fire-Eating Crow corpses and a special one that had been torn apart, its body broken and covered in blood.
This corpse was none other than the Fire-Eating Ancient Crow.
"Gaga!"
The little guy's cry was filled with sadness.
Su Ping took a closer look, focusing on the Fire-Eating Ancient Crow, which matched the description in the Beastmaster Association's backend records exactly, without any differences.
Was it truly a Fire-Eating Ancient Crow that had reverted to its ancestral form?
But what was the key point here? What secrets did this strange valley hold?
As Su Ping pondered, he looked up at the top of the cliff!
"Cree..."
A sharp cry echoed through the valley.
It was a Flowing Flame Crane.
One of the most powerful wild birds in the valley.
At that moment, the crane stood on the cliff, its eyes fixed on Su Ping and the Dahuang by his side. Its fiery red eyes were filled with fear and vigilance.
Even in the face of a dragon, a creature at the pinnacle of the pet world, the crane showed no sign of backing down.
This situation only heightened Su Ping's curiosity about the valley.
So, without a second thought for the Fire-Eating Ancient Crow's condition, he softly spoke to Xiao Wuya, "Little guy, do you feel something is off here?"
Xiao Wuya was taken aback, then suddenly raised his head, not understanding the meaning of Su Ping's words. But soon, he seemed to understand something, shaking his head and then nodding.
This cry had a simple and clear meaning: it wanted to go home! Its home was in that cave.
Su Ping was now certain that the cave behind him was the secret realm that the Zhao brothers had mentioned.
But what kind of secret realm could have such immense power?
However, Su Ping also noticed that Xiao Wuya's influence wasn't as severe as he had thought.
Otherwise, there might have been a mutated Fire-Eating Crow among the corpses.
Was it because of the mutated bloodline? Su Ping wondered, but Dahuang's actions in front of him didn't stop.
The Flowing Flame Crane had already been crushed into a pancake.
Two condensed rocks from the void had flattened it into a pool of blood, no different from the other corpses.
For an Earth Dragon, especially one in its adult phase, the Flaming Fire Crane, which was at the peak of its strength, was vastly different from the other birds.
Su Ping also spoke to the little crow, and after collecting the bodies, he stored them in his Beast Space. Then, with the little crow, he slowly rose into the air and arrived at the entrance of this cave.
There were still many wild birds around this cave.
However, intimidated by the formidable presence of the Great Yellow, none of them dared to approach. They could only stand on the walls and rocks, flapping their wings incessantly to alleviate their agitated minds.
Here, in an ordinary cave, was a nest made of various materials, seemingly no different from any other.
The only slight difference was...
Su Ping wiped his sweat again.
He suspected that he might be overdressed.
It was freezing when he was flying in the sky, and now he felt a bit hot.
"Breeder Su, it's here! I can feel it; the Mystic Realm about to appear is right here."
The two Zhang brothers, standing behind Su Ping, spoke excitedly.
In their hands was a compass, and on the compass, a path of light flashed, with the compass needle pointing right here. Clearly, this was the entrance to the Mystic Realm about to appear.
"About how much longer until the Mystic Realm appears?"
Su Ping asked.
"Within half an hour! The Fixed Sky Compass won't be wrong; it's about that time!"
The two Zhang brothers hurriedly replied.
Su Ping nodded, not in a rush.
He sat at the edge of the cave, looking at the bodies below and the valley, lost in thought.
No matter how strange, now that he was here, he wanted to see clearly before speaking!
The rest wasn't urgent.
However, the strangeness within was indeed unreasonable.
First, the birth of the Ancient Dark Flame Crow and the mutated little crow.
It was just that this was before, and temporarily, Su Ping couldn't say for sure if there was any connection with this possible Mystic Realm.
Second, the situation in the valley.
Why did it attract so many birds?
Moreover, from the little crow's mutation until now.
It had already been a month.
What kind of Mystic Realm appeared a month ago, with signs beforehand?
From the information about the Mystic Realm from the Heavenward Inspectorate, it seemed that way.
It was indeed unreasonable.
Su Ping pursed his lips, and there was still some time, so he directly took out his phone and started searching.
Fortunately, with Fifi, there was wireless signal at all times; otherwise, in this remote area, it would be difficult to have a network.
Su Ping opened the Beastmaster Association's backend and started searching.
[Bird, flying-type beasts, attract all bird-type beasts...]
A bunch of keywords were searched by Su Ping.
Indeed, there were quite a few things that appeared.
Some special treasures and unusual resources appeared.
However, none of them matched the current situation.
Su Ping, with his experience of countless Mystic Realms, had never seen such an appearance before.
On the contrary, it was more likely to be a special resource that appeared.
However, after searching for a while, he shook his head, unable to find any relevant evidence.
But there was one thing.
It was getting hotter.
Su Ping wiped the sweat from his forehead, and at this moment, outside the cave, Qin Xiaoxue and the others spoke: "What the heck? Is it really winter? I feel like I've returned to summer vacation."
In fact, it was indeed so.
Not only Su Ping, but the Zhang brothers also had flushed faces, with beads of sweat on their foreheads.
"Roar!"
The Great Yellow's dragon roar sounded.
Su Ping turned his head sharply.
"You said the fire attribute energy in this valley has increased? And it's increased a lot?"
The Great Yellow nodded, its golden eyes fixed on the deepest part of the cave.
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
"Ga ga..."
"Cree..."
"Chirp chirp..."
A series of strange calls sounded outside the cave.
The countless birds in the valley, ignoring the Great Yellow guarding the cave entrance, flew towards this side.
The Great Yellow was furious.
It was like a mountain blocking all the birds.
However, Su Ping also felt a more intense heat from behind him.
Su Ping's eyelids twitched rapidly.
And at this moment, he turned around and looked towards the deepest part of the cave.
The space seemed to shatter at this moment, and something slowly emerged from within.
