Chapter 124 - 124 A Short Breather
In an instant, he was back in the outer layer of the secret realm.
“Shen Fei!”
As soon as he came out of the wormhole, Aloy came up to him with a worried face.
“Are you alright?” Aloy grabbed Shen Fei’s arm and carefully examined him.
“I’m fine…” Shen Fei twitched his mouth in annoyance.
Lear had not even touched him yet, so he did not know why Aloy was so nervous. However, looking at her nervous appearance, Shen Fei’s heart inexplicably felt warm.
“Alright, Aloy, you don’t have to be so worried about….”
Before he could finish his sentence, the shrinking wormhole suddenly expanded again!
“Shen Fei! Don’t think you can escape!”
Lear forcefully squeezed his ugly face out of the wormhole and looked at Shen Fei fiercely. “Gasp! … Wait for me to come out! Huff!… I’ll definitely kill you!
He did not expect Lear to chase him all the way here. Shen Fei frowned and subconsciously retreated.
“Don’t worry.” Aloy grabbed Shen Fei’s hand and stood in front of Lear without fear. “He can’t hurt a single hair on you.”
“Shen Fei, I’m going to kill you!”
Before Lear could finish his words, his entire face was like a lit candle, melting very quickly.
“What’s wrong with his…?”
Lear frowned. He quickly reached out and pushed the melted flesh back up his face. But as soon as he let go, the melted flesh and blood fell to the ground uncontrollably again. This time, Lear panicked.
“Shen Fei, just you wait. If I don’t settle the score with you today, I’ll definitely settle it with you in the future!”
After saying this, Lear quickly retracted his head back into the wormhole.
“What was that just now?” Shen Fei frowned, staring at the remaining flesh on the ground in confusion.
“It’s nothing. It’s just your imagination.” Aloy took the initiative to hug Shen Fei’s arm and gave him a warm smile. “You’ve been in the wormhole for a long time. You’re hallucinating. It’s time for you to have a good rest.”
After saying this, Aloy pulled Shen Fei with her and walked toward the camp.
“Wait, Aloy.” Shen Fei grabbed Aloy’s arm and looked at her with a puzzled expression. “What just happened was definitely not an illusion. It was real.”
Aloy was hiding something from him.
“…Why do you know so much about wormholes, and so clearly too?”
The knowledge about wormholes that Aloy had told him before had never been taught in school. Even the libraries did not have any information related to this.
Shen Fei frowned and looked Aloy up and down. How did she know so much?
“Ah, you mean the wormhole?”
Aloy turned around and gave a bright smile, with shallow dimples appearing on her cheeks. She had long thought that Shen Fei would ask this. However, it was a simple matter to deal with Shen Fei.
“I got all this knowledge about wormholes from the collection in the mayor’s mansion. If you’re interested, I can lend it to you.”
“I don’t need it, thank you.” Shen Fei immediately waved his hand and had an idea in his mind.
Compared to spending time learning about wormholes, it would be more efficient and useful to spend more time improving the level of his spirit beasts. Besides, since Aloy knew everything like the back of her hand, he could just ask her straightaway if there was anything he did not understand.
“Aloy! Aloy!”
Just as the two of them were heading toward the camp, a call suddenly came from the crystal on Aloy’s body.
“Give me a moment.” Aloy picked up the crystal and shook it in her hand. After shaking it, the anxious faces of the school council members appeared in the crystal.
“Aloy, we just restored the crystal’s function. How’s Shen Fei’s current situation? Are you alright?”
“Don’t worry, we’re fine,” Aloy said with a smile. “Shen Fei has already gotten rid of that terrifying exotic beast earlier. There shouldn’t be any major problems left. I’ll be back in a while.”
As she said this, Aloy took out a crystal from her pocket and stuffed it into Shen Fei’s hand.
“I can’t stay in the wormhole for too long. Contact me with this when you’re free.”
“Alright,” he said. Shen Fei nodded his head without saying anything.
“Since Shen Fei is fine, Aloy, you should hurry back.” An anxious call came from the other end of the crystal. “It’s a mess on our side. We urgently need help!”
“Give me a moment, I’ll be there soon.”
Aloy nodded and reached out to put the crystal back into her pocket. She pouted in dissatisfaction and slowly sighed.
“I wanted to stay with you for a while longer, but I have a lot of things to do now, so I can only leave first.”
“Go on.” Shen Fei looked at Aloy with an understanding gaze.
She was in charge of most of the things here, and without her supervising the school council, they were basically useless. Without Aloy, they could not operate.
“You must be careful while you’re in here.”
Aloy turned around and quickly walked out of the wormhole. The moment she turned around, a worried look appeared on her face.
From the images, it could be seen that Lear’s exotic beast had completely swallowed the exotic core. This way, the spiritual energy and elemental energy of the deep secret realm would constantly spread from the deep layers to the shallow layers. At that time, Lear would most likely take advantage of this opportunity to escape from the secret realm of survival.
At the thought of this, Aloy clenched her fists silently. ‘That would take at least a dozen days!’
As for Shen Fei and the rest, they only need to stay here for six days before they can leave. During this time, as long as no one touched the entrance to the deep secret realm, no one would notice that something was wrong here.
Aloy frowned. She hoped that the speed of the expansion of the deep secret realm would be a little slower.
With this in mind, Aloy quickly left the wormhole.
…
“Damn it, what kind of underhanded trick is Shen Fei using this time!”
Lear sat in front of a mirror that he formed with his spiritual power. He kept pushing his skin and flesh to his face again and again. But every time he let go, the flesh on both sides of his cheeks would return to the state of sagging down like a Shar Pei.
“Graar?”
The Black Sun was slowly floating beside Lear. As soon as it saw the contents of the mirror, it could not help but cover its mouth and laugh.
In an instant, Lear frowned and his eyes turned cold. “What are you laughing at!”
Lear grabbed the fur on Black Sun’s neck unhappily. “I’m very unhappy right now. You’re not allowed to laugh in front of me!”
“Graar!”
The Black Sun was shocked by Lear’s actions and quickly nodded its head.
