Chapter 32

“This… Should I tell their principal?”

Many of them had graduated from the academy and entered the military. He naturally knew the academy’s rules and the dangers of the secret realm.

The first place in the school was the target of more emphasis on cultivation, but if he went in under the current circumstances, he would definitely die!

forget it, don’t be a busybody. He has the teacher’s seal, so just stand guard.

The soldier shook his head.

The entrance to the secret realm was a deep blue whirlpool. After entering the whirlpool, the scenery inside and outside were simply two different worlds. Soon, a page of information about secret realms appeared on the vortex gate.

Fran carefully read through the information regarding the secret realm.

The secret realm he was in was called the hidden domain secret realm. This secret realm was mainly filled with water, earth, and wood-type monsters, and they were above the intermediate level.

After entering the secret realm, one could call for help from the soldiers outside the door through the entrance card within a thousand meters, but they couldn’t call for help beyond that.

“There aren’t any high-level monsters within a thousand meters.”

Fran shook his head. It had to be known that the entrance was within a thousand meters of the safe zone. Students like them were usually allowed to go within that range during training.

Moreover, there were only some low-level monsters. If there were high-level monsters that entered the safe area, the soldiers outside could help to drive them away.

However, if they wanted to gain experience, they could only go deep into the secret realm.

“Let’s go in and take a look.”

After reading the instructions on the vortexes, Fran walked towards the depths of the secret realm.

Indeed, there were only some low-level monsters within a thousand meters of the vortex gate. Some of them didn’t even have the ability to attack.

It was quite suitable for beginner professionals. After walking further in, Fran felt that the temperature here was a bit lower than outside.

There was a kind of eerie feeling, and from time to time, the low cries of monsters could be heard in the distance.

It was different from the safe zone. The deeper they went, the quieter it became. They didn’t even see any monsters after walking for a few hundred meters.

Fran carefully walked inside, but the trees in the distance suddenly shook. He quickly found a rock to use as cover and hid behind it to observe the situation of the trees in front.

Soon, a black snake hung upside down from the tree crown and bit a bird.

“It’s a horned snake.”

Fran hid behind a rock.

At the freshmen meet-and-greet, Professor Frost had introduced this type of monster. It was a common mid-rank monster in the four secret realms. It lived in water and fed on eagles. When it was hungry, it would come ashore to hunt.

It seemed that he had encountered a horned snake that was hunting for food.

This type of monster was extremely fast, and there was a sharp stinger at the tip of its tail. It was extremely tough, and if it could be killed, the stinger could be used as an assassin’s hand blade.

Just as Fran was about to ambush the horned snake, he suddenly heard a series of clacking sounds coming from not far away.

“No, this…”

Fran peeked out from behind his cover to look at the horned snake.

The horned snake seemed to have noticed the abnormality behind the rock and was staring in his direction while spitting out fumes. Fran then realized that it wasn’t a horned snake!

It was a mutant that looked very similar to a horned snake, the Black Serpent! It was an elite-type monster! The ‘ka ka ka’ sound just now was made by the black serpent’s scales!

The black serpent was a mutated form of a horned snake. The scales on its body were like dragon scales, and its perception was very sensitive. When it flicked its scales, it could detect any living thing that was hiding within a hundred meters!

Fran’s position was within its range, and when it noticed the commotion behind the rock, the black serpent wriggled its body to get closer.

As the rustling sound approached, Fran immediately became alert and observed the surrounding terrain. The black serpent was very agile, and it was too late to change the terrain’s defense with the earth spike technique.

Fran hid behind the rock and didn’t do anything. When he looked again, the black serpent had already disappeared.

Suddenly, he felt a chill on his back. He turned around and saw that the monster was sticking out its tongue a few steps away from him. The sharp spikes on its tail had already appeared and were swaying in the air.

Fran didn’t dare to move. This kind of monster was good at using water magic to interfere with his vision. If he moved, he would most likely be confused.

Suddenly, the scales on the black serpent’s body moved again, and Fran’s vision became blurry. That’s not right! It wasn’t that his vision was blurry, but that the black serpent had used a smokescreen!

The black serpent’s shadow in front of him had already turned into a water image, and Fran instantly summoned his staff. There was a rustling sound in his ears, but there was still a dark shadow in front of him. Fran quickly realized that the shadow wasn’t the black serpent!

Hearing the rustling sound getting closer and closer, Fran guessed that the black serpent was already close, but he couldn’t determine its position, so he had to break the water image.

He held the magic staff and chanted a spell. The mana pool on the magic staff turned into a light blue color.

“[Ice Melt]!” With a wave of his staff, the mist wall in front of him immediately froze. This was a first-level elementary ice-type spell, Ice Melt.

It could turn a thin layer of water into ice.

Then, the magic staff’s mana pool turned red again, and Fran used his location to jump up. His magic staff released a fire mist that immediately shattered the ice wall.

An arm’s distance away, the black serpent also rose into the air and attacked him. However, the pincer attack of Ice and Fire seemed to have stimulated it, and it stopped its attack and fell to the ground.

But it quickly reacted and swung its tail towards Fran. Fran dodged to the side, and the tail stingers hit the rocks behind him, turning them into powder.

What a powerful force! Fran still had a lingering fear. If he hadn’t dodged, he would have already been turned into meat paste. The black serpent was not affected by the stone at all, and once again used its tail to attack.

Fran didn’t have time to cast spells and could only dodge. After dozens of attacks, the black serpent used water image again.

Seeing this, Fran directly climbed onto the nearest tree and cast a spell, turning the water image into an ice wall.

This time, the black serpent was trapped inside the ice wall because the water wall hadn’t formed yet. This gave Fran a chance to cast the elementary fireball spell he had been practicing at home.

Because of the previous training, the fireballs were gathered very quickly. Just as the black serpent was about to break through the ice wall, he released the fireballs.

Suddenly, the power of ice and fire burst out, and the black serpent let out a tragic cry.

Fran struck while the iron was hot, the staff in his hand releasing basic fire blades. With the effect of magic gathering, they turned into a small rain of fire blades that stabbed into the black serpent’s body.

In an instant, the black serpent writhed its body crazily and finally died under the rain of fire blades.
