Chapter 800: The Sunlit Secret Realm (Part 1)
Chapter 800: The Sunlit Secret Realm (Part 1)
Xiao Tian chose her target: a Skrull named Gary.
Recently, Xiao Tian and her troops have been infiltrating the insectoid army's rear to disrupt their supply lines, cutting off their weapons, food, and water. She has been doing an excellent job, thanks to her excellent command skills and formidable strength. The insectoid army's supply lines have been repeatedly cut off, severely hampering their frontline advancements.
For her efforts, Xiao Tian has earned a significant amount of military commendations.
However, Xiao Tian isn't the only one causing trouble in the insectoid rear. Two other teams are also carrying out similar missions. One is led by a Skrull, and the other by a high-tier magical beast.
The Skrull calls himself "Gary."
Gary leads a force of 400 small blue beings, with 26 of them being cavalry.
The high-tier magical beast resembles a blue rhinoceros, with a pitch-black body that often blends into the shadows, making it highly mysterious.
This high-tier magical beast doesn't lead troops but uses its high carrying capacity to exchange all military commendations for enhancement potions, large traps, and other equipment.
Relying on its high carrying capacity and mobility, it moves swiftly through the insectoid rear, setting up large insect traps and causing significant trouble for the insectoids, achieving impressive results.
Xiao Tian had to choose between Gary and the high-tier magical beast, and she ultimately chose Gary.
After all, Gary is a humanoid, which would make communication much easier.
...
By the evening of the third day in the secret realm, it has been eight days since Xiao Tian arrived on Skrull Star.
Before heading to find Gary, Xiao Tian glanced worriedly at the jade amulet tied to her wrist.
This jade amulet was given to her by Donna. Activating it would allow her to return to Blue Star once the spatial corridor was opened.
However, it is now the eighth day, and the jade amulet remains inactive.
Xiao Tian isn't sure if Donna forgot to open the spatial corridor or if the corridor simply can't be used within the secret realm.
After some thought, she believes the latter is more likely.
The relevant authorities would have calculated the time and sent a team to retrieve people on the seventh day. Donna might be a few hours late, but being a couple of days late is highly unlikely.
The most reasonable explanation is that she cannot use the jade amulet to return to Blue Star while in the secret realm.
This means she has lost a crucial means of self-preservation and must be extra cautious while in the secret realm.
...
After swiftly clearing out an insectoid supply camp, Xiao Tian led her troops toward Gary's route.
She had been keeping track of his movements, so finding him was relatively easy. She found the Skrull dressed in a blue-purple outfit.
"Hello, I'm Xu Xiao Tian, a human from Blue Star," Xiao Tian waved and greeted Gary from a distance.
Gary was surprised to see Xiao Tian approach. He hadn't expected her to come looking for him.
Xiao Tian, the only human from Blue Star in the secret realm, has piqued the interest of all the Skrulls and high-tier magical beasts in the secret realm.
However, the secret realm has its rules. The city lord of Sunlit City, Dok, had issued an order that no teams could attack each other, or the perpetrator would face certain death.
Thanks to this rule, Xiao Tian has been able to freely kill insectoids and accumulate military commendations without worrying about being targeted by a coalition of Skrulls.
Seeing Xiao Tian come to find him and greet him personally, Gary understood that she had something important to say.
He looked at the human with a serious expression. "Human, what do you want from me? Don't forget, we Skruls and the humans of Blue Star are enemies!"
"Take it easy," Xia Tian knew he would say this and smiled calmly. "Which faction are you from? The Solar Empire? The Lankte Alliance? Or another country?"
Jary didn't answer but continued to watch Xia Tian's rapidly approaching troops with a wary gaze.
However, once he saw the composition of Xia Tian's troops, a hint of envy crept into his eyes.
Xia Tian's forces, though only 1,000 strong, included many elite units. There were over 50 archers with 50 military achievements and 20 mages with 200 military achievements.
The most valuable unit in his force was the ordinary cavalry with 20 military achievements. The quality gap between the two forces was significant!
Xia Tian keenly picked up on the hint of envy in Jary's eyes and knew what to say next.
"Alright, I'll give you 400 military achievements, and you tell me what I want to know, but you must promise not to lie!" Xia Tian crossed his arms and said seriously.
But since she was just a 14-year-old girl, she looked very innocent and cute despite her serious demeanor.
Her cuteness also caused Jary's guard to drop significantly.
"400 military achievements?" Jary seemed a bit surprised.
400 military achievements were enough to exchange for 20 ordinary cavalry!
Of course, the 20 cavalry weren't the most important, but "military achievements" were the only currency in the secret realm, and the final rewards in the secret realm are based on "military achievements."
400 military achievements were enough to have worked hard for a long time!
"Alright, go ahead, what's your question?" He added after his words, "If your question is too confidential, I won't answer it."
"Don't worry, I won't ask too deeply," Xia Tian smiled and began her questions. "What do you know about the history of this secret realm?"
"This..." Jary hesitated for a moment.
"Well, you don't want to tell?" Xia Tian made as if she were about to leave. "If you're not going to tell, I'll find someone else."
"Wait a moment," Jary called, stopping her.
Understanding the importance of the secret realm's history, many mysteries could be revealed, and the only by luck, the silence, Xia Tian listened as he continued his questions, her tone softening with each passing moment. "Alright, I'll tell you the history of the secret realm, but 400 military achievements might not fully match its value..."
"Only 400, will you tell or not!" Xia Tian urged, determined not to take advantage of the situation. "Alright, I'll give you a brief history of the secret realm..."
With a sense of not wanting to waste the 400 military achievements, Jary began his narrative.
And he was completely honest, not lying about the history, but telling it as it truly happened.
Xia Tian listened int and from the blue arm band on her shoulder, the blue arm band representing a thread, flew into Jary's shoulder. This blue arm band was initially given to them by the Blue Skins to store military achievements. It was deeply bound to the adventurer and couldn't be stolen.
