Chapter 114 - 92: Harpy!
As they stepped into the 1st Secret Realm’s Spatial Gate…
Chen Fan felt a bit disoriented as a flurry of snow blew in his face.
According to the information they had, the outer area of the 1st Secret Realm was basically around minus two or three degrees.
The further they went towards the center, the lower the temperature.
After cultivating all night, Chen Fan had broken through to the Tier 1 Fourth Heaven.
Even without wearing the warm Battle Armor, a Tier 1 Fourth Heaven Guardian Beastmaster or Star Martial Artist could roam freely in this area.
The Black Iron Dragon Turtle beside him shrank its head.
Although it had the “Black Iron Shield,” it still wasn’t quite used to the cold weather.
But the Cold Ice White Python beside the Black Iron Dragon Turtle became excited as soon as it felt the surrounding cold air. It immediately shot out, frolicking and rolling around in the snow!
Once all the classmates had entered the Secret Realm and gathered, the class leader, Leng Ruyu, came over and said softly, “Chen Fan, we’ll all follow your instructions. Where should we go first?”
After learning that Chen Fan had five Guardian Beasts in the Wind-controlling
Valley, Leng Ruyu’s attitude had undergone a complete 180-degree turnaround.
Chen Fan tapped on the smart wristwatch on his left wrist.
The map previously given by Li Sheng immediately appeared.
Although there was no network signal in the Secret Realm, the saved information in the “computer” could still be used.
Chen Fan pointed to a location on the map and said, “Inside the Circular Mountain at the top-left corner of the map, there’s a Fire Plume Mountain. Due to its existence and the Circular Mountain blocking the cold air, the temperature inside the Circular Mountain is much higher than other parts of the Secret Realm.”
“Based on the information I found earlier, most of the Heavenly Fire Ants chased into the Secret Realm have probably gone to the Circular Mountain.”
“We’ll follow this route from here, sweeping through four gathering points of the Heavenly Fire Ants and five Snow Demon nests, heading straight for the Circular Mountain.”
Leng Ruyu was taken aback: “But…there might be 8th or 9th Level Heavenly Fire Ants and Snow Demons in that Circular Mountain!”
“Are we really going to the Circular Mountain?”
The surrounding students were also shocked.
Wasn’t it too risky for a group of students who had only cultivated for a few days and had Level 1 Guardian Beasts to stroll around the nests of 8th or 9th Level monsters?
Even with the Golden Gyrfalcon, it might not be 100% safe.
After all, there were 66 people in Class Five!
Even if the Golden Gyrfalcon wanted to protect them, it might not be able to manage!
Chen Fan said calmly, “I have five Guardian Beasts, and they are not weak.”
“Chu Xuan has three 5th-level Guardian Beasts, and Ye Hao also has three 5th-level Guardian Beasts.”
“Plus Qing Qing’s Cold Ice White Python and Ru Gel s Black Iron Dragon Turtle…”
“Even if the Golden Gyrfalcon can’t take care of everyone, these thirteen Guardian Beasts are enough to ensure everyone’s safety.”
Leng Ruyu was silent for a moment, then nodded: “Alright, we’ll listen to you!” Seeing this, Chu Xuan and Ye Hao both summoned their Guardian Beasts.
Chu Xuan’s three Guardian Beasts were the Heavy-armored Beetle King, Desert
Wind Falcon, and Dark-blood Stone Golem;
Ye Hao’s three Guardian Beasts were the Sacred Moon Morning Glory, Split
Earth Fire Dragon, and Heavenly Waste Divine Bull;
As soon as the Heavenly Waste Divine Bull appeared, a rush of heat spread around, melting some of the nearby snow.
Chen Fan summoned Snowy and the others.
As soon as they left the Summoning Array, Blackie hugged his wings tightly and began to shiver. “So cold! So cold! The cold wind will freeze me! Tomorrow, I’ll build a nest!”
Feicui chirped and jumped into Chen Fan’s arms along with Snowy.
“Build a nest my ass.”
Chen Fan held Feicui and Snowy and grabbed Blackie, putting them all on Ye Hao’s Guardian Beast’s back, the Split Earth Fire Dragon.
Gangzi jumped fiercely and landed on the Split Earth Fire Dragon’s back by himself.
The Elder Ape wasn’t bothered by the cold and just quietly followed Chen Fan.
The little guys huddled together on the Split Earth Fire Dragon’s back.
Except for Blackie, the others were all at Level 5, their Star Power surging, and they weren’t really afraid of the cold weather.
But they hadn’t adapted to it yet.
The Black Iron Dragon Turtle came over and added a “Black Iron Shield” to them all.
It was even warmer now…
Feicui stared at the icy world around her with wide eyes.
The Cold Ice White Python proudly “swam” over. This was its home turf!
Ye Hao smiled at Chen Fan and said, “See, Brother Fan? I told you my Split
Earth Fire Dragon could take care of Snowy and the others, right?”
Chen Fan waved his hand abruptly: “Stop talking nonsense, let’s go!”
The group of students immediately summoned their own Guardian Beasts.
But most of these Guardian Beasts were cubs, and most of them were only at
Level 1.
How could the Star Power of Level 1 Guardian Beasts compare to Snowy and the others at Level 5?
As soon as they left the Beastmaster’s Space, the cold air attacked, and the Guardian Beasts instantly became a mess!
Many Guardian Beasts desperately tried to climb onto the Split Earth Fire Dragon’s back!
The students grimaced and took out the prepared sleeping bags, letting the Guardian Beasts crawl inside.
They had come to the 1st Secret Realm for training… both Guardian Beastmasters and Guardian Beasts alike had to train.
No matter how cold it was, the Guardian Beasts had to persevere.
The group stumbled along behind Chen Fan, with the few 5th-level Guardian Beasts surrounding them like bodyguards.
The Golden Gyrfalcon circled low above their heads the entire time.
After they had walked about seven or eight miles, they slowed down.
According to the map, a Harpy nest was only a mile ahead.
As expected…
After traveling a little further, in the pile of chaotic rocks under the cliff ahead, groups of Harpies appeared!
These Harpies had human-like appearances, sharp ears, graceful figures, and wings on their backs. However, their hands and feet were like eagle claws.
This was a beautiful but cruel magical creature.
These Harpies could fly at low altitudes at high speeds and were extremely ferocious.
The students of Class Five stared at the group of Harpies ahead, momentarily dumbfounded.
Ye Hao squinted his eyes: “Damn, that bear and that ass… these female demons are… really corrupting morals!”
Everyone:
Ye Hao laughed sinisterly, “Alright, don’t look anymore, Harpies are fierce and brutal. Be careful if they use their ultimate move on you!”
A male student asked in confusion, “What ultimate move? Isn’t the Harpy’s ultimate move ‘Tearing Whirlwind’? I checked it yesterday. Among their skills, this one is the most powerful. But it’s quite easy to dodge as long as you’re careful.’
Ye Hao shook his head, “Not that one.” The male student was puzzled, “Then what move?”
The others also perked up their ears.
They really didn’t know about any other terrifying skills the Harpies had.
Ye Hao said indifferently, “Bullshit.”
The male student hesitated again, “Brother Hao, I was asking a question, I wasn’t talking nonsense… Oh, you mean…”
A group of male students looked at the Harpies’ sharp claws, shivered all over, and subconsciously covered their groins.
Chen Fan spoke, “Why are you all silent?”
A male student blushed and asked, “Class leader, can we catch a few Harpies and contract them as Guardian Beasts?”
A group of female students glared at the male student.
And a group of male students looked at each other and laughed.
Leng Ruyu said indifferently, “Spring is here, everything is recovering, and it’s the breeding season for animals. The air in the woods is filled with the scent of hormones… Stop daydreaming.”
“Harpies are cruel and ferocious by nature, making them difficult to domesticate.”
“If you’re not afraid of becoming eunuchs, you can give it a try.”
Eunuchs… A group of male students got scared again.
Chu Xuan said expressionlessly, “Stop wasting time, let’s go kill them.”
“Mhm…” Chen Fan nodded, “As the saying goes, rely on your parents at home and your friends when you’re out… Uh, I mean, rely on your friends.” “Ye Hao, go lead those Harpies out.”
“There are caves and fissures everywhere, making it difficult to fight.”
“Why me? You’re just trying to screw me over!” Ye Hao muttered but went off with his axe anyway.
He sneaked behind a big rock and quietly climbed on top of it. Then, he shouted loudly, “The world’s heroes come from our ranks! Which beauty will accompany me in bed?”
A large group of Harpies chased after him.
“As expected, my charm is irresistible!”
Ye Hao desperately ran back, “Brother Fan, save me!”
Behind him, several “Tearing Whirlwinds” swept towards him with sharp tearing sounds!
Where the Tearing Whirlwind passed, trees were torn to pieces and stones were blasted off!
“Golden Gyrfalcon!”
Chen Fan shouted loudly.
The Golden Gyrfalcon in the sky swooped down, and a shower of golden feather arrows killed a few groups of Harpies, nailing them to the snowy ground!
Ye Hao stopped running.
He glanced at the corpses in the distance and said, “Brothers, I have a bold idea…”
“Pah!” A group of female students blushed.
Ye Hao was taken aback, “What are you thinking?”
“I mean, why don’t we just wipe out all these Harpies?”
“But the Harpies’ nests are in the caves, and the Golden Gyrfalcon is too big to get in.”
“So, my idea is to let Chu Xuan’s Dark-blood Stone Golem go in with a ‘Black Iron Shield’, smash them around with a hammer to create a big commotion, and lure all the Harpies out.”
“Once they’re out, the Golden Gyrfalcon can slaughter them all with a single move.”
Chu Xuan nodded, “It’s feasible!”
Chen Fan immediately let the Black Iron Dragon Turtle come over, giving the Dark-blood Stone Golem a “Black Iron Shield”.
The Dark-blood Stone Golem’s defense was already very strong. With the added shield, even a Level 6 monster would have trouble harming it in a short time.
They watched it charge into one of the caves with a sledgehammer in hand.
Soon…
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Loud noises came from inside the cave.
Stones on the mountainside clattered down!
“Scream!”
Ear-piercing shrieks came from the caves. “They’re coming out! ”
Ye Hao carried his axe and sneered coldly.
They saw the Dark-blood Stone Golem rush out of the cave and quickly run back.
Groups of Harpies emerged from the caves!
“Damn, there are so many!”
A group of students were startled and took a few steps back unconsciously.
“Kill them!”
Chen Fan waved his hand lightly.
The Golden Gyrfalcon quickly circled in the sky and began the slaughter again.
Large numbers of Harpies quickly fell!
The level difference was too great, and Golden Gyrfalcon’s move was AOE. Harpies could neither resist nor dodge it!
Within ten-odd seconds, the snow on the ground was stained red with blood!
Corpses were everywhere!
Many new students began to tremble.
Some female students even had trouble moving their feet!
After all, these Harpies looked too much like humans.
To many new students, it felt like killing fellow humans…
Chu Xuan didn’t say anything, just silently glanced at Leng Ruyu.
Leng Ruyu took a deep breath, “You all, go dig out the crystal cores from those Harpies.”
A few timid female students’ legs went weak, and they sat down on the snowy ground!
Their Guardian Beasts also shrank into a ball..
