The air cannot solidify, but human emotions can be influenced in certain ways. At this moment, everyone felt a sense of melancholy to varying degrees. They were all intelligent individuals, and from Shao Susu's words, they could naturally deduce a lot of other information. The most important point was that they were in great danger.
"There are over a hundred Star Beasts whose combat power we cannot perceive. Given our strength, the chances of surviving if we charge in are probably only..." Gale's Mental Power was also formidable, and as a senior student, he naturally had a wealth of knowledge.
"Ten percent, and there will be variables at any moment." Jin Shan, who had been quiet for a long time, calmly analyzed the data.
Ye Yu had unconditional trust in Jin Shan; the data he provided was likely the closest to the truth.
"Then I'll choose a route that is closest to the boundary and adjust our path based on the specific situation during the journey." Ye Yu said as he pulled up the holographic map of the Lost Secret Realm stored locally. Soon, he pinpointed the coordinates of where their convoy was currently located based on their previous route.
"According to earlier data, the northern region is where Star Beasts are more concentrated, and it's also closest to the boundary of the Lost Secret Realm, only about seven hundred kilometers away. If we move quickly, we should reach the boundary by dawn!" Based on Shao Susu's analysis, since the Star Beasts were currently focusing their attacks on their base, those originally gathered in the northern region should have left their gathering place.
"We'll head east for a while before turning north. According to my calculations combined with the map indicating the number of Star Beasts in the northern area, at least one-third of them should still be in place. We need some time to buffer," Jin Shan said without hesitation. However, many people were not familiar with him and did not know what this seemingly perfect-faced individual was capable of.
"Jin Shan is good at deduction; we should listen to him. Let's head east first and then gradually veer north!" Ye Yu sensed everyone's emotions and explained briefly before turning the vehicle towards the east.
To prevent encountering a large-scale beast horde unexpectedly, Ye Yu, Shao Susu, and Gale did not hesitate to expend Mental Power continuously to probe for any anomalies around them. Even Chen Tang, who had just broken through to planetary-level Psychic Power, occasionally released his Mental Power for supplementary scouting.
At this moment, the Phase Gun on their Multi-Purpose Vehicle was ready to fire at any moment, while the scanning System was tirelessly monitoring for anomalies within a one-kilometer radius. However, due to magnetic field suppression in this area, the effectiveness of such scans was significantly reduced. Although everyone appeared tense on the surface, deep down each person harbored an unsettling feeling.
Lost Secret Realm, Southeast Region, Midair.
"The Beast Tide has begun. That super-tier Star Beast should have migrated with the herd," said White Invincible, his round face showing signs of fatigue after working for over ten hours. Even though he was in the mid-stage of the Nine Levels martial arts, he was struggling to hold on.
"I never expected to encounter a Beast Tide in my lifetime. This situation has exceeded our operational scope," Huang Pu Zhan said, hands behind his back, his eyes also reflecting weariness. "White, go notify headquarters to send more personnel to handle this. I'll stay here and keep watch!"
White Invincible nodded, then turned and blurred into a shadow, heading towards the boundary of the Lost Secret Realm.
"Who?" Before Huang Pu Zhan could continue searching for the Star Beast codenamed Extreme Sea, a furious roar echoed through the air—it was White Invincible's voice.
Huang Pu Zhan looked in the direction of the sound and saw White Invincible hovering in mid-air, continuing to advance.
In the next moment, Huang Pu Zhan blurred and almost instantaneously appeared beside White Invincible.
At the same time, a strong smell of blood assaulted his senses. White Invincible was clutching his right shoulder with his left hand, blood gushing from between his fingers.
The once steady aura of White Invincible was now chaotic; beads of sweat rolled down his chubby face, clearly enduring immense pain.
Huang Pu Zhan was taken aback. White Invincible had been injured in an instant, and he hadn’t sensed it at all—his combat power was definitely not inferior to his own.
In the next moment, Huang Pu Zhan's Mental Power enveloped himself and the area around White Invincible for hundreds of meters. He then took out a red tube from his portable equipment.
Without any visible action from Huang Pu Zhan, the red tube opened, and a light golden liquid flowed out, quickly covering White Invincible's shoulder.
As soon as the golden liquid touched White Invincible's right shoulder, it stopped the bleeding, and soon after, his complexion began to improve.
"It must be that Star Beast!" White Invincible looked at Huang Pu Zhan, a hint of fear crossing his face. As a transcendent master, he hadn't felt this kind of imminent danger in a long time. Just a moment ago, an overwhelming force had appeared beside him; if he hadn't erupted with sudden strength at the brink of life and death, that attack would have likely pierced through his chest.
"Did you see it clearly?" Huang Pu Zhan felt a chilling aura surrounding him. As a Ninth Level Peak expert, he had always been someone others looked up to. This was the first time in nearly a decade that he felt a deadly threat from an external force.
White Invincible sighed, "It was too fast. I only caught a glimpse of its shadow; its form is similar to ours, and it likely has wings. The attack came from its tail!" He glanced nervously at the night sky and continued, "I only realized it was within ten meters of me when it was too late. At that distance, I could barely evade by half a body length given its speed."
"The combat power surpassing Ninth Level Peak is merely legendary strength; so many have only speculated about it. Could this Star Beast truly exceed our understanding?" Huang Pu Zhan was stuck at his current level for over a decade. As a talented practitioner, he found it hard to believe there could be a stronger tier. Perhaps only the legendary ruler of the Blue Seal Empire possessed such supreme power, but that was merely speculation.
"It can't be; it must be like humans, possessing special abilities related to stealth or speed," White Invincible reasoned. As a top-tier fighter, he understood the limits of strength. At this moment, the most plausible explanation was that this Star Beast had innate abilities.
Suddenly, Huang Pu Zhan's heart raced violently. Within the range of his Mental Power, an immense force surged toward him in an instant, and shadows enveloped his entire being.
