Chapter 299 – Secret Realm explanation

"What else you didn't tell me?" Aiko sternly asked.

Mei choked. She was not used to this type of Aiko.

"The Secret Realm is not that big." Mei awkwardly spoke.

"And?" Aiko kept staring at Mei.

"The Beasts inside are much stronger than outside."

"And?"

"We will separate after entering the Secret Realm."

"Hmhm."

"There is a pseudo-day-night cycle, but it's mostly night."

"Uh..."

"Beasts are also stronger at night and can sniff blood from greater distances."

"Huh..."

"There are also some unique Beasts that have Bloodlines, which are incomparably stronger than their counterparts."

"Alright, stop." Aiko stopped Mei. "This feels like we are walking towards our death." She snorted unhappily.

Mei coughed. "You are not exactly wrong, since we will get suppressed if we fight Humans."

Aiko sighed. She knew about that part, but with stronger monsters... What if during a hunt, she is attacked by Humans? She will definitely get killed or at the best gravely injured!

Aiko didn't want to participate since it seemed troublesome, but then she thought about it.

"Can't I use that special bracelet to hide my animalistic features?" Aiko suddenly asked.

"Those bracelets won't work inside." Mei shook her head.

"Huh?" Aiko looked completely stupid. "Not even the necklace?" She hoped that at least the necklace would work.

"It should work... somewhat." Mei smiled wryly. She was also concerned about this part. It was obvious that others would hunt Aiko if they found her to their liking.

"Ughhhh." Aiko didn't like that at all, considering that she would eat the system meat to quickly level up.

"It should be alright, probably." Mei gently soothed Aiko.

"That last word was uncalled for!" Aiko yelled.

Mei laughed. "You will be alright. Your [Lightness Technique] improved greatly and while it's still not perfected, it should give you enough edge against normal Humans.

"Let's hope that it really works..." Aiko sighed.

...

The journey was uneventful, probably because all the major Sects were participating.

The other Foxes on the Flying Ship did not approach the group with Aiko in the lead, since they were absolutely terrified of them.

The Elders wondered why the Foxes were too scared, but their own pride would not allow them to go around and ask them about it.

"We will be setting up camps around. This is sort of preparation or training for when you enter the Secret Realm." Mei gestured.

"Do we have to too?" Aiko tilted her head.

"No. We are a Beast, so our camps are simple in nature. This is mostly for Humans." Mei answered.

"Then what are we doing here so early?" Aiko felt like she was chewing something distasteful. She couldn't believe that they would fly here so early and just stand here and do nothing!

"You got 'that' Jade Slip?" Mei asked.

"En." Aiko nodded.

"I will take it from you for this Secret Realm. There are too many thieves around." Mei sighed.

"Could they plunder it from the Storage Ring?" Aiko tilted her head.

"There is a Technique like that. It allows you to steal one thing from the Storage Ring and it's completely random, but let's not risk it." Mei shook her head.

"How about my tails?" Aiko was concerned that someone would just steal Feifei.

"I have no idea how your tails do that, so..." Mei sighed, Aiko was simply beyond her understanding!

"Oh..." It seems like Aiko would have to experiment later with this, but right now she doesn't have any collaborators with such a Technique... 'Wait a moment!'

"What if I got that Technique?" Aiko narrowed her eyes.

"You don't have Dantian, so you can't use it." Mei chuckled at the silly little Fox.

"Ugh." Aiko didn't like the fact that the most entertaining things were on the Human side.

"You will reach that point one day and then you can learn anything you want." Mei soothed Aiko.

"Aren't you close to the Human Form?" Aiko narrowed her eyes.

"Yes. Just one more Evolution and I can obtain it, but it's not that simple." Mei shook her head.

"Depending on the number of Bloodlines and your personal strength, the worse the Transformation Heavenly Lightning becomes." Mei sighed.

"Oh...... Oh, shit!" Aiko cursed openly, didn't she just give her Twins those Bloodlines?! Did she sabotage them?!

Seeing Aiko's sour expression, Mei tilted her head. "What did you do?"

"I gave the Twins more Bloodlines." Aiko groaned unhappily.

Mei almost fainted on the spot, but was supported by the Blood Fox.

"It would not be good to show weakness." The Blood Fox whispered. She didn't really like Mei. But at the same time, they were in the same team, so support was necessary.

Mei nodded and massaged her head. This was getting more and more ridiculous!

"They should be fine, since they also need personal strength." Mei tried to calm herself down. She definitely didn't want another Bloodline, since she knew that her personal strength was out of this world! It would be bad if the difficulty increased.

"Oh right." Aiko suddenly remembered. "I created these low-grade Treasures. They protect us from poisons."

She made them quickly in her spare time, but they were much better than what she gave her team previously.

"Oh..." Mei nodded. She didn't expect Aiko to give them something like that.

"It doesn't work on all poisons, but it's better than nothing." Aiko nodded to herself, trying to stay calm.

"Let's make a camp and I will distribute what I have on me." Mei smiled gently. She wanted to distribute it right before the Secret Realm, but it would be a better idea to do that now. Aiko and the team can ask about them, which will make everything safer for everyone!
