77 Meeting a Peer?

Wang Xiao wanted to test the power of the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon]. The best choice was actually a secret realm in the academy. Not only could he choose many venues, but his safety could also be guaranteed.

However, one had to register with their real name to enter the academy’s secret realm. With Wang Xiao’s current reputation, once he appeared in the academy, he would definitely be surrounded by people. Not only would it be annoying, but it would also waste a lot of time.

There was also a teleportation door to the trial secret realm in the trading market. Although the benefits were uncertain, the staff would not check their identities and it could save Wang Xiao a lot of trouble.

Because he was only here to experiment with the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon], Wang Xiao did not contact Ma Yunle this time. He casually bought an activation key for a small secret realm and was about to crush it to enter the secret realm when the entire square suddenly emitted a red light!

“A medium-sized secret realm!”

Wang Xiao’s eyes lit up. The last time he entered a medium-sized secret realm, the [Endless Canyon], he had obtained many good things.

However, this medium-sized secret realm could only be chanced upon by luck, so Wang Xiao did not think of this. Who knew that his luck was actually so good that he would receive such timely help!

“Middle-sized secret realm! Mist Rainforest! Only six people are allowed to enter!”

A staff member stood beside the teleportation door and shouted.

Wang Xiao was even happier when he heard this. The rainforest was simply the home ground of the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon]!

With a thought, Wang Xiao changed into a bearded man. Then, he raised his hand and shouted without hesitation, “Count me in!”

As he spoke, Wang Xiao had already jogged over. After paying the fees, he signed the name “He Dazhi” on the register.

The staff took a look and gestured to the side. “Please wait for a moment. When everyone is here, I’ll distribute the keys.”

Wang Xiao nodded and walked to the side. After waiting for a while, three middle-aged men walked over.

Seeing these three people, Wang Xiao immediately recalled the “secret realm hunter” that Ma Yunle had once told him.

The secret realm was rich in resources, but some people were unwilling to waste time collecting them personally and would directly buy them in the market. Sometimes, when they happened to encounter a shortage, they would spend money to hire other lords to collect them in the secret realm. As a result, secret realm hunters were born.

The three people in front of him were clearly secret realm hunters.

Not only was the energy aura on their bodies extremely dense, but their clothes also carried the style of a secret realm hunter. There were many things hanging on their bodies. These things looked very sloppy, but in fact, everything was very useful.

While Wang Xiao sized up the other party, the three of them also walked closer. After paying the fees, they began to sign. However, after obtaining the register, they suddenly turned to look at Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao felt that these people seemed to have ill intentions, but he did not know the reason and ignored them. The three of them did not do anything. After signing their names, they walked to the other side and muttered something.

A few minutes later, two young lords, a man and a woman, arrived. They were about the same age as Wang Xiao, but he had never seen them in the Kaiyang Academy. They were probably geniuses from other academies.

After everyone was present, the staff took out six keys and instructed as he distributed them, “Although a medium-sized secret realm allows competition between lords, the situation in the [Mist Rainforest] is very complicated. Firstly, don’t be rash. Secondly, it’s best to team up.”

The three middle-aged men were clearly in a team, so they did not say anything. After looking at Wang Xiao ambiguously, they crushed the key and entered the secret realm first.

Wang Xiao was about to activate the key when the girl suddenly walked over. She stretched out her right hand and smiled politely. “Hello, I’m Xu Junrou from Yuheng Academy. Can I invite you to team up with us?”

“From Yuheng Academy?”

Wang Xiao’s eyes flickered. Although Yuheng Academy had been established late, it was almost as famous as the Kaiyang Academy. Therefore, he was also very curious about the strength of this academy.

However, when he thought of the gazes of the three middle-aged men before entering the secret realm, Wang Xiao still shook his head. “I’m afraid not. If you team up with me, you might get into trouble.”

“What?”

Xu Junrou blinked in confusion. She did not understand what “causing trouble” meant.

Wang Xiao did not explain. He smiled apologetically at the two people from Yuheng Academy and crushed the key to enter the secret realm.

Light flashed, and a bone-chilling cold wind blew over.

Wang Xiao opened his eyes and discovered that he was standing in a dense forest.

Although it was called a forest, Wang Xiao actually did not know how big this place was. This was because the sunlight was almost completely blocked by the tree crown, and the humid fog made the already low visibility worse.

“No wonder that staff member said not to be rash. He must be afraid of friendly-fire, right?”

Wang Xiao chuckled and was about to summon the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] when he suddenly heard footsteps not far behind him. They were mixed with the crisp sound of metal hitting stone. It should be human footsteps.

“It’s them!”

Wang Xiao instantly thought of the three secret realm hunters. Previously, he had observed the clothes of the three of them. One of them had metal pieces embedded in the soles of his shoes!

Thinking of this, Wang Xiao suddenly turned around and indeed saw the three of them walk out of the fog. Although they did not summon soldiers, their fierce gazes clearly showed that they did not come with good intentions!

“What do you want to do?”

Wang Xiao narrowed his eyes and asked coldly. He had long felt that there was something wrong with these three people, so he was not surprised. However, he did not expect the other party to be so anxious and actually block him at the entrance of the secret realm.

“Nothing. I just want to settle the score with you!”

The secret realm hunter in the middle sneered and took out something that looked like a flute from his waist. “He Dazhi! Let’s see where you can run today!”

Wang Xiao stroked his beard and thought to himself, “As expected.” When the three of them looked at him previously, he had guessed that it had something to do with him using He Dazhi’s face.

“The three of you, don’t be agitated. Actually, this is a misunderstanding.”

Wang Xiao waved his hand and returned to his original appearance with a thought. “My name is Wang Xiao. I transformed into He Dazhi just to make it easier for me to move around.”

Seeing Wang Xiao change his appearance in an instant, the three of them immediately revealed surprised expressions. However, in an instant, they became covetous.

“Wang Xiao? The Wang Xiao who resisted the invasion of the Crimson Star a while ago?”

The secret realm hunter who had spoken just now laughed strangely, and the energy aura emitted from his body began to surge. “I heard that you killed the young Crimson Star people. You should have a lot of good things on you, right?”

Looking at that person’s greedy expression, Wang Xiao’s mood suddenly became a little subtle. He originally thought that he would just return to his original state and resolve the misunderstanding, but looking at this guy’s reaction, could it be that the other party wanted to rob him?

This was really a cycle of karma. He did not expect that the famous “Chief Wang” would actually be robbed one day!

Thinking of this, Wang Xiao connected to the territory with a thought. He looked at the three of them and smiled faintly. “I indeed have many good things. I wonder if you have the ability to take them?”
