Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
After two days of recovery, Chen Gong's injuries had healed.
To save time, Chen Gong did not absorb the excess medicinal effects, but rather let them remain in his body to digest slowly.
After two days of rest, everyone's condition reached its peak. Ye Cangtian once again led the group on their journey.
This time, their exploration speed had significantly increased.
Having delayed for so long, it was likely that most of the treasures in the rainforest had already been scavenged.
Now, their main task was to find the secret realm and the mustard space.
Boom, boom, boom...
After an unknown amount of searching, rumbling sounds could be heard.
Without hesitation, Ye Cangtian led everyone towards the source.
In the dense forest, the people from the Blazing Fire Institute were already engaged in a fierce battle with a group of Golden Silkworm Demonic Apes.
What's going on?
Ye Cangtian was momentarily stunned. In his opinion, battles between the five major peak forces should be avoided as much as possible, especially since they had not yet found the mustard space.
With this thought, Ye Cangtian casually unleashed an energy blade, repelling a Golden Silkworm Demonic Ape.
The next moment, the entire battlefield fell silent. Both the Blazing Fire Institute and the Flying Cloud Pavilion chose to cease their fighting.
After all, with the intervention of a Heavenly-level expert, they first needed to identify their opponent before continuing.
"Wild Mountain?"
"Wild Mountain has Heavenly-level experts?"
Ye Zhengkao of the Blazing Fire Institute looked at the approaching unfamiliar faces with some doubt.
Even if Wild Mountain had Heavenly-level experts, interfering in the battle between the Blazing Fire Institute and the Flying Cloud Pavilion would not be beneficial for Wild Mountain!
At the same time, an unfamiliar voice echoed from the depths of the forest, saying, "Since when have people from Wild Mountain dared to meddle in the affairs of my Flying Cloud Pavilion!"
Hmph!
Ye Cangtian let out a soft哼 upon hearing this and then ignored it, proceeding to stand before Ye Zhengkao.
"What's going on? The two of you, major peak forces, are already fighting here?"
Ye Zhengkao was slightly taken aback. Seeing that the other party had helped him, he pointed to a ground hole not far behind him.
"We discovered an entrance to a secret realm, and the Flying Cloud Pavilion ran into us."
With this explanation, Ye Cangtian understood everything and said, "Since you ran into each other, it's fate. Why not go in together and take a look."
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhengkao's expression immediately turned grim. "That sounds nice, but who gets the treasures inside?"
"Naturally, whoever obtains them gets them!"
"There's no need to make such a fuss over this!"
Ye Cangtian said.
Regardless, it was better to conserve their strength before entering the mustard space.
"I think you're in league with them. Do you also want to enter the secret realm and seize treasures!"
Ye Zhengkao's face suddenly turned cold. How could he know that the Heavenly-level expert from Wild Mountain was Ye Cangtian himself?
In his eyes, anyone who made such a statement, asking him to give up benefits, was undoubtedly a malicious plotter, just like those from the Flying Cloud Pavilion.
"Did you hear that? The people from the Blazing Fire Institute want to monopolize the treasures of the secret realm!"
"Wild Mountain expert, why don't we deal with the people from the Blazing Fire Institute together, and then explore the secret realm jointly, splitting all the treasures equally? What do you say?"
As Ye Zhengkao's voice fell, the unfamiliar voice from the dense forest echoed again.
"There's no need. I believe the Blazing Fire Institute will understand the stakes."
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian glanced at Ye Zhengkao and said, "Ye Zhengkao, you should know that the secret realm is extremely dangerous, and there might even be Heavenly-level demons. With your strength, you might not be able to survive."
This...
As his words fell, Ye Zhengkao paused, and his eyes began to dart around.
He had already sent people to briefly scout the secret realm. The number of demons within was vast and they were powerful. It was indeed possible that there were Heavenly-level demons.
If that were the case, for the Blazing Fire Institute to seize the secret realm, even if successful, they would likely suffer heavy losses.
With this thought, Ye Zhengkao said coldly, "It's not impossible for you to enter the secret realm together, but I have two conditions!"
Ye Cangtian directly made a gesture of invitation.
Seeing this, Ye Zhengkao spoke directly.
First, all treasures inside belong to whoever obtains them!
Second, no matter who it is, no one shall maliciously attack others; everyone must cooperate wholeheartedly!
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian immediately agreed and said, "I agree to this. If anyone violates the rules, I won't hesitate to eliminate them!"
Saying this, Ye Cangtian's gaze swept towards the dense forest and continued, "Flying Cloud Pavilion, can you accept these two conditions? If so, show yourselves."
"Alright!"
A cold voice replied, and then the people from the Flying Cloud Pavilion emerged from the dense forest.
The leader was Hun Qi from the Flying Cloud Pavilion.
Rustle, rustle, rustle...
Just as the Flying Cloud Pavilion members appeared, a team from the Tiger King Sect emerged from the dense forest.
"Since you have all agreed, you won't mind us joining, will you?"
A man with a scar on his face slowly stepped forward, introducing himself as Hu Ben, a commander from the Tiger King Sect.
Hmm?
As the other party approached, Ye Cangtian's brow furrowed. With his senses, he couldn't detect the presence of the Tiger King Sect, which was clearly unusual.
However, even if he inquired, the other party would not tell him.
On the other side, Ye Zhengkao glanced at Hu Ben and remained silent for a moment before saying, "I don't object to you joining! But this isn't something I can decide alone!"
In his opinion, he had already accepted people from the Flying Cloud Pavilion and Wild Mountain. Adding the people from the Tiger King Sect was not a big deal.
As his voice fell, Ye Cangtian shrugged and said, "I have no objections, as long as the agreement is honored."
Finally, everyone's gaze fell on Hun Qi.
Sensing everyone's gaze, Hun Qi smiled slightly and said, "Of course, I welcome it. After all, I have no intention of monopolizing the treasures!"
Hearing the words of the three, Hu Ben showed a smile and said, "Good, then thank you all for accepting us. Let's begin now!"
With a brief remark, everyone entered the secret realm.
Roar, roar, roar...
As soon as they entered the secret realm, roars could be heard, and the ground began to tremble.
They were a group of ancient giant crocodiles, two meters tall and over ten meters long, with gaping maws, looking extremely ferocious.
"Hun Qi, it's time for your Flying Cloud Pavilion to show its prowess!"
Ye Zhengkao looked at Hun Qi and said.
The Flying Cloud Pavilion had brought more than thirty Golden Silkworm Demonic Apes, and coupled with their ability to control demonic beasts, it was the best choice for them to deal with the ancient giant crocodiles.
This would definitely reduce casualties.
"Why should we!"
Hun Qi's eyes widened. These Golden Silkworm Demonic Apes were painstakingly found and were a significant asset to them.
If they were all lost here, it would definitely affect their combat power.
As a result, they might miss out on treasures later.
With this thought, he continued, "I think the weakest faction should go first, and we, the stronger ones, should deal with the more powerful demons later."
As he spoke, Hun Qi's gaze fell on Hu Ben.
There was no other way. In terms of factions, Wild Mountain and the Tiger King Sect were equal in his mind, but here, Wild Mountain had a Heavenly-level expert.
Under these circumstances, he naturally could not let Wild Mountain go forward as cannon fodder.
"You!"
Feeling Hun Qi's gaze, Hu Ben's face flushed red.
After a moment of silence, he said grimly, "Hun Qi, letting your demonic beasts go first is the most effective way to conserve combat power. Do you think our Tiger King Sect is inferior to your demonic beasts?"
He paused and continued, "Or do you want to preserve your strength to compete for treasures later!"
As his voice fell, Ye Zhengkao echoed, "Hun Qi, I think Hu Ben has a point.
Besides, with so many demonic beasts in the rainforest, even if all the Golden Silkworm Demonic Apes perish here, it won't have much impact on you!"
Hearing their words, Hun Qi's face immediately turned grim.
There were indeed many demonic beasts in the rainforest, but after the sweep by various factions, how many could still survive?
Even if some survived, how many of them could match the combat power of the Golden Silkworm Demonic Apes?
But the problem now was that both the Blazing Fire Institute and the Tiger King Sect were suspicious of him. If he didn't act, the Flying Cloud Pavilion would likely be kicked out of the team immediately.
With this thought, Hun Qi glanced at Ye Cangtian, hoping that Ye Cangtian would say a few words for him.
