Huo Ling came here this time precisely to follow the family’s orders and recruit Huo Xian’er.
Lu Feng seemed to realize he shouldn’t have said that and laughed awkwardly.
“Hahaha! Teacher Huo, don’t mind me, I was just speaking off the cuff, not targeting you.”
Lu Feng was well aware of how Huo Ling had reached her current position.
His earlier words were like a direct blow, flipping the boat over.
Could Huo Ling be happy? Wasn’t this indirectly including herself?
“Hmph!”
With a light snort, Huo Ling crossed her arms and ignored Lu Feng.
This left Lu Feng feeling a bit embarrassed.
But, who could he blame but his own loose tongue?
…
Back in the Secret Realm.
Many students had already found their spots to survive the next three days.
Of course, some unlucky ones were attacked by demons right after entering the realm.
Some students, luckier than others, managed to fend off the demons after much struggle and survived.
Others, seeing no way to fight the demons, decisively gave up on the assessment.
Compared to the assessment, they valued their lives more.
Staying alive was the most important thing; once dead, nothing else mattered.
Naturally, there were the unluckiest students who didn’t even have time to press the emergency teleport button before being killed by demons.
The assessment was that brutal.
Here, there were no extra rules; survival was the only principle.
Among so many students, dozens had already been eliminated.
Such a high elimination rate was truly worrying.
No one knew how many students would ultimately pass the assessment.
In the Secret Realm, the sunlight gradually faded, and night began to fall.
During the day, the safety factor in the Secret Realm might be a bit higher.
But once night fell, the danger level multiplied.
More demons would come out at night to hunt for food.
And this was the most dangerous time.
For many demons, nighttime was their prime hunting time.
At night, they could see more clearly and hunt their prey more easily.
Even Liu Wu, eager to find Ye Ling, didn’t dare to wander around at night.
If attacked by a pack of demons, even his Venomous Scale Python might not save him.
So, for his own safety, Liu Wu found a suitable place to spend the night instead of rushing on.
Liu Wu’s spiritual pet had one advantage.
At night, the Venomous Scale Python could coil its body into a circle, forming a natural barrier.
Liu Wu just needed to sleep inside this natural barrier.
With the Venomous Scale Python on guard, Liu Wu wasn’t worried about any hostile threats.
It meant that while resting at night, the Venomous Scale Python would stay alert and wake Liu Wu at the first sign of danger.
However, Liu Wu didn’t notice.
High up in a giant tree, a pair of sharp eyes were watching him as he slept.
The first night in the Secret Realm was a significant test for many students.
Some might die in their sleep.
Those luckier could use the emergency teleport to leave the realm.
But undoubtedly, tonight, some would disappear from this world forever.
…
Compared to Liu Wu, who slept in the wild, Ye Ling was much better off.
After hunting many demons in the afternoon, Ye Ling saw the sky darkening.
Without any delay, he headed to a cave halfway up the mountain with Blood Phantom.
When he returned to the cave, it was almost completely dark.
“Awooo~!”
“Awooo~!”
As he reached the cave, Ye Ling could faintly hear the howling of wolves from below the mountain.
Any creature that came out to hunt at night was unlikely to be a common animal; ninety-nine percent of the time, it was a demon.
Hearing the wolf howls, Ye Ling became very cautious.
He knew he had killed many demons, leaving a trail of blood scent along the way.
Demons like the Demon Wolf had an extremely keen sense of smell.
Both Blood Phantom and he carried the scent of blood.
If the wolves followed the blood scent to him, it would be a tough battle.
However, while it might be a tough battle, it was also an opportunity.
A large number of Demon Wolves meant a lot of experience points and growth potential.
To ensure Blood Phantom’s continuous evolution, Ye Ling’s goal was to hunt more demons.
The more demons he killed, the faster Blood Phantom would grow.
The terrain halfway up the mountain was narrow, especially the cave entrance.
At least he didn’t have to worry about the wolves swarming in.
As long as Blood Phantom stood at the entrance, it would be an impenetrable defense.
Using this strategic point, Ye Ling wasn’t worried about his safety.
After all, Demon Wolves were just First Rank demons.
