“Sorry to keep you waiting!” The man landed like a superhero and was covered by the parachute. His muffled voice was persistent, “You don’t have to worry anymore, because I’m already here!”

His words were very cool, but he squirmed in the parachute like a little bug. He was dizzy and couldn’t find his way, which immediately made everyone doubt whether he was reliable.

“Hey, can you guys help me out first?” The man’s tone of asking for help didn’t lose out to his playfulness.

Ke Zhen was so anxious that he was about to burst into flames. He hurriedly tore open the parachute and dragged the man out.

“Hello, everyone!” The man scratched the back of his head and introduced himself. “My name is Zhao Xiaoquan. I’m a researcher in the Beastmaster Association’s Research Department. I just graduated a year ago, and my teacher is Elder Di. But you guys already know that, right? Hahaha!”

As he said that, Zhao Xiaoquan laughed twice, completely unaware that the atmosphere was about to explode.

Captain Lu asked in puzzlement, “Why are you here? Why isn’t Elder Di here?”

“Hahaha, my teacher said he was afraid that his false teeth would be blown away when he was parachuting, so he sent me here. If you have any technical questions, just ask me,” Zhao Xiaoquan said cheerfully.

However, Ke Zhen could not find it funny now. He grabbed Zhao Xiaoquan’s shoulder and pressed him in front of the screen. He pointed at the screen and said, “We want to contact the people with true eye bugs. Can you let them hear us?”

“Establish a temporary communication channel, right? That’s easy!” Zhao Xiaoquan laughed. He took off his backpack and took out a laptop and placed it on his lap.

Then, he unhurriedly took out a multiwire plug-in board from his backpack. Other than the black screen, everything else was connected to his computer. His fingers moved quickly on the keyboard, and a long string of unknown characters appeared on the computer screen.

“You guys are really lucky. The project of stacking the communication function for true eye bugs has made a breakthrough. Now, my computer can be used as a relay station to communicate with each other,” Zhao Xiaoquan explained.

He typed very fast. In just a few minutes, he started to run the program. Five dialog boxes appeared on the computer screen. Zhao Xiaoquan spread his hands and said, “If you want to talk to anyone, click on their dialog box with the mouse.”

“Let me! Let Me!” Captain Lu pressed down on Zhao Xiaoquan’s back and was the first to click on the Cui Anyu’s language dialog box.

“Cui Anyu! I’m Captain Lu. The mission is terminated. You have to retreat immediately!” Captain Lu shouted with all his might.

Cui Anyu was stunned for a moment when she heard the voice. Then, she realized that it was the voice of the true eye bug. She said in surprise, “Captain Lu? I heard you! Can you see Yu Guang? Where is he?”

“Yu Guang shut off the true eye bug when he entered the mystic realm. We don’t know where he is now.”

“What?” Cui Anyu turned pale with fright.

Captain Lu quickly repeated, “The energy inside the mystic realm is expanding. We also felt it outside. Anyway, the situation is too complicated. Just hurry up and retreat!”

After all, the six people who entered were all rookies, so it was not easy for them to survive the bad weather. The current situation was unpredictable, and it was not suitable for them to stay for long.

Cui Anyu bit her lip and clenched her teeth. She said slowly, “We may not be able to leave for the time being. The huge energy fluctuation has disrupted the portal, so we cannot leave the blazing mystic realm before it has calmed down.”

“What?” Captain Lu was shocked this time.

Cui Anyu continued, “Don’t worry. The most important thing now is to find the others first. By the way, are they alright?”

“They’re still alive…” Captain Lu said. “Since you can’t come back for the time being, I’ll inform them to look for you first. Then, you guys go look for Yu Guang.”

“Okay! I’ll release an ice flower in the sky in two minutes. Tell them to follow its direction once they see it,” Cui Anyu instructed.

Without a signal flare, she could only use her skill instead. However, the height might not be high enough, so she did not use it.

After the communication ended, Captain Lu contacted the other four people. First, he briefly inquired about their physical condition. Then, he told them about the current predicament and the news of Yu Guang’s disappearance.

Finally, he relayed the next mission instruction, “First, meet up with Cui Anyu. Then, go look for Yu Guang.”

Although the words were very vague, everyone’s guesses were almost the same. Yu Guang took the initiative to turn off the true eye bug, so he was either running away or causing trouble. Combined with the berserk demonic beasts now, this riot was very likely caused by Yu Guang.

The few of them promised to go look for Cui Anyu, but in fact, they had already aimed at the center of the power explosion! Yu Guang must be there!

Lucia and the other geniuses were in the same group. The two groups had never done anything serious since they came in. They had only survived in the wilderness. Now that they finally received a clear order, they were filled with passion. Their eyes were no longer blurry, and their legs were no longer weak. They licked their dry lips and headed east!

…

Just when everyone was worried about Yu Guang’s safety and tried their best to find his whereabouts, Yu Guang was holed up in the igloo, eating his third popsicle that day. He looked at the demon beasts fighting in the distance, as if it was none of his business.

Other than the Sun-devouring Leopard, the rest were all giant ant-level demon beasts. There was no point in suppressing them, so Yu Guang had no intention of moving.

At this moment, a huge shadow flew over from the distant sky like a bolt of lightning. Its domineering wings spread out. It was the Burning Red Falcon from before! It had also smelled the scent of his god-tier bait and rushed over with a gust of wind!

Although Yu Guang didn’t think much of it, he was very curious as to which was more powerful, the Burning Red Falcon or the Sun-devouring Leopard!

He excitedly came out of the igloo and jogged over to watch the show.

The two demon beasts also quickly noticed each other. Their eyes met, and the Sun-devouring Leopard’s tail swept a giant cow away. It circled around the spot and roared into the sky. The Burning Red Falcon stopped in the air and prepared to lunge.

The battle was about to begin!

The two giant demon beasts struggled together. The Burning Red Falcon’s sharp beak went straight for the Sun-devouring Leopard’s eyes. Its iron-hook-like claws were like torture instruments, scratching bloody marks on the Sun-devouring Leopard’s beautiful fur. Instantly, its skin split open, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

Although the Sun-devouring Leopard could not fly, its body was agile. It dodged fatal attacks several times. It opened its bloody mouth and bit on the wings of the Burning Red Falcon. Then, it suddenly shook its head and pulled off a mouthful of feathers.

“Wonderful!” Yu Guang could not help but clap his hands and cheer!

For the first time, he was glad that the size of a human was no different from an insect in the eyes of demon beasts. Otherwise, he would not have been able to see this scene up close. However, he was also very regretful that the two demon beasts did not notice his existence. This proved that their sensitivity was not high. This was also the reason why Yu Guang was unwilling to tame these two.

After entering the mystic realm for so long, he had indeed seen powerful demonic beasts. However, it was far from what he had expected. He could only wait patiently, waiting for the satisfied demonic beasts to appear.
