Chapter 251:
"Ah? Really?"
Skarn and Belram Academy looked at Freya with shocked expressions, seemingly unable to believe that those words came from her mouth.
It should be noted that they had been at the peak of Third-Rank Apprentice for a long time in search of this last type of material. Originally, entering the secret realm was their final gamble, but unexpectedly...
Hearing the doubts from the two, Freya frowned slightly and said unhappily, "You don't believe me?"
Seeing Freya's expression quickly darken, the two hurriedly shook their heads.
"No, no, no, we believe you. Thank you, my lady."
"Mm." Looking at their reactions, Freya nodded and said nothing more.
She turned around to glance at the massive corpse on the ground.
The Venom Lizard, aside from its precious floral head, actually had great value in any part of its body.
For example, its Venom Sac, scales, sharp teeth, and claws could all be made into some very useful items.
However, the Venom Lizard was quite large, and it would definitely be impossible to carry everything out.
After thinking for a moment, she took out the Silver Knife again and walked over to the Venom Lizard's throat.
She reached out and touched the relatively softer white scales, then sliced down with a knife.
"Rip!"
It sounded like fabric tearing, and that part was instantly cut open by the sharp blade, revealing the blood-red muscles and blood vessels inside.
Dark red blood flowed down from the opened area.
Freya expressionlessly took out two skillfully crafted beakers to quickly catch the blood, and once they were filled, she corked them and placed them back into her waist pouch.
Although the Venom Lizard's poison was potent, its blood contained good detoxifying substances that were effective not only against its own venom but also against toxins from other creatures.
After collecting the blood, Freya tidied up the sturdy scales and sharp teeth from the Lizard for resale or to craft items she frequently used.
However, even after stripping the valuable parts from this Lizard, Freya was still unsatisfied.
After all, her consumption in this secret realm had far exceeded what she had gained.
Two blue spikes, three vials of potent antidote, one Eye of Fear, and her Cross Sword which had been modified multiple times through Enchantment.
Especially those two spikes made from Special Bloodline and the Eye of Fear.
Both were hard-to-obtain consumables. The blue spikes were already precious enough. The Eye of Fear was even more valuable than the blue spikes.
She had only crafted three using the Black Serpent Rune, originally intending to use them as important trump cards. Unexpectedly, she had to use one shortly after entering the secret realm.
Sure, this time her losses far exceeded what she gained from the adventure.
Freya glanced over the vast Cultivation Area and turned to the two who were still resting in place.
"You two are at the back. How did you get separated from the Black-Robed Wizard?"
"Reporting, my lady. We separated as soon as we entered the secret realm. That gentleman seemed to vanish into thin air; we don't know why," Skarn replied after thinking for a moment.
"Oh, I see."
Listening to Skarn, Freya immediately understood that the Black-Robed Wizard had likely triggered a mechanism and was directly teleported away, which meant only these two apprentices had entered the first Cultivation Area.
After pondering for a moment, Freya looked up and asked, "Do you know the exact location of the entrance to the next area?"
"We know that," Skarn nodded and pulled out a black stick from his belongings, tossing it to Freya.
With a snap, Freya caught it.
"This is the guiding stick I used to record the routes here."
Seeing Freya's puzzled expression, Skarn quickly added, "Yes, understood."
Freya nodded at him, slightly closed her eyes, then opened them again, a curious expression appearing on her face.
"Not bad, very convenient Cursed Items."
Through the mental tendrils connection just now, she indeed learned about the entrance to the next area.
"This is a unique item from our Black Scythe Academy; if you like it, it's yours," Skarn said with a smile.
Freya did not refuse and directly took the black stick.
She glanced again at the many un-dissected Venom Lizard corpses, shook her head lightly, and kindly said to the two of them.
"Alright, I plan to head to the next area. This secret realm is more dangerous than you think. Let's hurry out while we haven't triggered any mechanisms."
"Of course, we'll leave right away," Skarn and Belram Academy said simultaneously.
"Okay."
Freya stopped talking and turned to walk along the path indicated by the guiding stick.
The remaining two watched Freya leave completely before quickly helping each other up and running toward the Venom Lizard corpses.
...
Soon, fifteen minutes later.
In what seemed like an endless Cultivation Area, a sudden wooden door appeared in Freya's line of sight.
There were no walls or anything else surrounding the door, as if it had sprung up out of nowhere.
Freya looked in front of the door and noticed a row of deeper footprints among the weeds, which appeared to be quite fresh.
"Sure enough, one of those two people went inside."
After hesitating for a moment, she grasped the doorknob and gently pulled.
Creak.
A grating sound accompanied by a foul, rotten smell wafted from behind the door.
Behind the door was what appeared to be an expansive grassland, with a bizarre red sky overhead. Occasionally, two black Birds could be seen gliding low.
"Huh? Living creatures?"
Freya cautiously stood at the doorway, raising her head to look at the two Black Birds.
With black feathers and a body much slimmer than that of eagles, their retracted talons glimmered with a faint Silver Light, looking extremely sharp.
However, when Freya shifted her gaze to the heads of the Black Birds, she was startled to find that their heads resembled those of two Aged Women.
Their long white hair flowed freely, and their wrinkled faces were adorned with black feathers on either side, while their eyes featured black Serpent-Shaped Slit Pupils.
Seeing the two creatures with unusual eye colors, Freya suddenly felt a shock in her heart.
"Is this the Human-Faced Bird?"
In All Things Studies, the Human-Faced Bird is a type of Native Creature from hell that has spread to the Wizarding World due to the World Rift.
The Human-Faced Bird itself does not possess strong attack power or high intelligence, but this creature inherently carries a soul-linking ability and prefers to attach itself to powerful beings.
As a flying bird species, they have excellent vision, and most powerful beings that accept these creatures use them as scouts to facilitate hunting.
Now, the two Human-Faced Birds that Freya encountered were clearly patrolling something, suggesting that there was likely a powerful being nearby for them to attach to.
Looking at the Human-Faced Birds circling low above, Freya recalled that Roy had mentioned the Second Area, which seemed to be a Biological Zone.
It was an area designated for keeping some precious creatures.
Originally, the creatures in this area should have been imprisoned, but now, likely due to long-term neglect, most of them had died, while a few had escaped without any wizard supervision.
Having already obtained the Venom Lizard's Flower Stamen, it would be safer for her to leave now.
However, doing so would mean she could not compensate for her own losses.
Moreover, if she left, re-entering this secret realm would probably not be an easy task.
After some consideration, Freya decided to take the risk and give it a try.
Since this place belongs to the Biological Zone, it is likely that there are far fewer mechanisms here compared to the Cultivation Area.
Moreover, the precious creatures here are not all powerful. If she encounters some rare species to bring back, it could help compensate for some of her losses.
With a decision made in her heart, she slightly lowered her body and softly recited a spell.
Her originally solid body surprisingly became somewhat ethereal. Although she had not reached the point of complete invisibility, it would not be easy to discover her immediately.
After observing the changes in her body, Freya slowly closed the door, leaving a mark on it before walking in the opposite direction of the Human-Faced Bird.
After walking for about ten minutes across the grassland, the spell on her gradually dissipated, and her form returned to normal.
At this moment, a moderately sized pond appeared before her. The water in the pond was green, and she could vaguely see fish and shrimp swimming inside.
Just as Freya was about to take a look at what peculiar creatures were in the pond, an unusually hoarse voice suddenly came from afar.
"Oh, hello young one. May I ask what you are looking for?" (To be continued...)
