How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 282 - 278 Tribe and Sand Bandits

Chapter 282 -278: Tribe and Sand Bandits
“Damn, Chen Yu just entered the ‘Red Earth Secret Realm’!”
The bearded elder suddenly realized something and blurted it out.
“What did you say? Chen Yu just entered the Red Earth Secret Realm?”
The instructors present all showed surprise.
Chen Yu, being the top performer of this competition, had excellent talent and strength and was favored by the vice-principal.
Such a student would certainly make a name for himself in Yun Zhao Country in the future.
But now, Chen Yu had entered the Red Earth Secret Realm, a dangerous realm where the death rate had suddenly increased!
“Moreover, he entered alone.”
The bearded elder added another line.
If he had known earlier, he should have advised Chen Yu, and then they could have closed off the Red Earth Secret Realm before he entered.
“How could this happen!”
“Oh, we should have started the meeting earlier and closed the Red Earth Secret Realm!”
The participants in the meeting couldn’t help but lament and sigh.
The death rate in the Red Earth Secret Realm had suddenly increased, and Chen Yu was there alone, increasing the danger and leaving little hope for his survival.
“Immediately close the Red Earth Secret Realm!”
The white-haired elder declared solemnly and then disappeared.
The meeting ended, and the bearded elder along with two Array Masters went to the teleportation site for adventures in foreign realms.
“You’re back!”
A young instructor, looking at the bearded elder, respectfully said.
In the absence of the bearded elder, he had been temporarily managing this place.
“Were there any people who entered the Red Earth Secret Realm just now?”
The bearded elder asked.
“Unfortunately, six people have gone to the Red Earth Secret Realm just a while ago.”
The young instructor looked puzzled but answered truthfully.
“What? Six students?”
The bearded elder was shocked by this bad news.
Thinking further, however, since six students went together, their combined strength should be very strong, providing a slightly better chance of surviving.
If Chen Yu could meet these six students, he might be able to successfully return.
“Immediately stop the teleportation to the Red Earth Secret Realm, only receive the students returning!”
The bearded elder promptly issued the command.
…
The sun was blazing, the land a yellowish-brown.
“What kind of cursed place is this!”
Chen Yu couldn’t help but complain.
All around him was a Gobi desert with rolling sandstorms.
Moreover, he had walked for nearly two hours, and the scenery hadn’t changed much, except for occasionally seeing a few volcanoes, he hadn’t seen a single person.
This made Chen Yu wonder if the entire Red Earth Secret Realm was just a big Gobi desert.
“Awoo!”
A Fire Qilin following behind him joyously roared.
Having been trapped in a cave before, it was thrilled to be outside for the first time.
Moreover, being an ancient fire beast, this place was very comfortable for it.
“Hmm?”
Chen Yu’s keen perceptions picked up on something unusual.
Whoosh-boom!
The ground nearby suddenly exploded, sending sand and stones flying.
From it, a dark red huge figure leapt out—a giant lizard covered in red scales, with a flame on its tail.
The lizard rapidly approached the Fire Scale Beast, opening its huge jaws lined with dense, ferocious teeth, and exuding intense heat from its mouth.
According to the lizard’s judgment, the Fire Scale Beast had valuable fire-element blood. If it could eat the beast, its strength would skyrocket.
“Seeking death!”
Chen Yu snorted coldly.
This lizard, merely at the Postnatal Middle Stage, dared to attack; utterly foolish.
Chen Yu swung his arm, and punched out.
His punch was extremely fast, hitting precisely on the lizard’s head.
Boom!
With a loud noise, the lizard’s head exploded, and its body was blasted several meters away.
“Awoo!”
The Fire Scale Beast happily ran over, bit into it, and swallowed the fire-element Demon Core inside the lizard.
After eating a few chunks of flesh, it continued to follow Chen Yu on their journey.
Not much further, the scene in front of Chen Yu finally changed.
In the distance, it was no longer just a barren Gobi scene; occasionally, a few thick yet bare trees and barren grasslands could be seen.

Entering this wasteland, Chen Yu paused for a brief rest.
“Hmm? The aura of a Demon Beast!”
Being an Evil Cultivator, Chen Yu was very sensitive to the fierce, violent aura of Demon Beasts.
He had just entered this wasteland when he immediately sensed that a Demon Beast was approaching.
However, the aura wasn’t strong, and Chen Yu wasn’t worried at all. If the Demon Beast attacked, he would simply punch it dead.
Suddenly, Chen Yu sensed something else.
“People are approaching…”
Chen Yu grabbed the Fire Scale Beast and tossed it into his pet bag.
Fire Scale Beasts, belonging to ancient beasts with traces of Qilin blood, were too precious to be casually exposed.
Moreover, this being his first visit to the Red Earth Secret Realm, he was unclear about the conditions here and didn’t know what the natives were like.
…
On the edge of the wasteland, a group of people was moving forward.
“Yan Qin, how is it? Isn’t it fun outside?”
In the front of the group, a robust young man, holding a giant bow and arrow, looked back at a woman and smiled.
“It’s not fun at all; all the Demon Beasts were killed by Brother Chang Mu. Next time we encounter a Demon Beast, I want to kill it myself!”
The woman, dressed in a floral skirt, spoke playfully and cheekily.
“There’s a Demon Beast!”
In the group, a middle-aged man holding a long spear, his eyes sparkling.
“Where, where?”
The floral-skirted young woman looked nervous yet excited, taking out an arrow, placing it on her bow, and pulling the string.
Only then did he see
from not far inside the hillside, a huge mouse clad in red scale armor suddenly dashed out.
“Look, a Fire Rat Beast!”
The girl in the floral skirt aimed her bow and arrow at the giant mouse, then released it.
“Don’t!”
The middle-aged man was just about to stop her when the arrow from the girl’s bow had already shot out.
Whoosh!
Accompanied by the sound of the air tearing, the arrow flew out, its body suddenly turning red, emitting high temperatures.
However,
Ting!
The fire-red arrow struck the Fire Rat Beast’s scale armor, only sparking a little, leaving a mark, then bouncing off.
Instantly, the Fire Rat Beast’s ferocious gaze swept over the team, emitting a low, piercing screech.
“How could this be?”
The girl in the floral dress turned pale, somewhat at a loss.
Previously, her older brother would kill demon beasts with almost a single arrow, and at most three arrows for the more powerful ones.
But the arrow she shot didn’t even penetrate the beast’s defenses.
“Be careful, this Fire Rat Beast’s strength has reached the Postnatal Late Stage!”
The middle-aged man suddenly shouted, gripping his spear tightly.
In their team, only the robust young man’s strength barely reached the Postnatal Late Stage.
“Beast, seeking death!”
The robust young man bellowed, taking up a large bow and instantly firing a massive arrow.
The moment the arrow shot out, it turned bright red and trembled with flames.
Boom!
The thick arrow struck down, blasting onto the Fire Rat Beast and exploded into a burst of intense fire.
At the same time, other members of the team, either shooting arrows or throwing spears, all attacked the Fire Rat Beast.
Hiss!
The Fire Rat Beast kept screaming, its scale armor shattering, and blood flowing out.
Its eyes blood-red, it fiercely stared at the robust young man and others.
“Die!”
The robust young man swapped for several thinner arrows, shooting them all out.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The several arrows, like red beams of light, shot out carrying astonishing penetrative power, piercing through the body of the Fire Rat Beast.
Finally, the Fire Rat Beast fell to the ground, motionless.
Not far away, Chen Yu silently watched this scene.
“Chang Mu is so amazing!”
The girl in the floral skirt was elated; then, she turned her gaze toward Chen Yu, not far from the corpse of the Fire Rat Beast.
“Who are you and what are you doing here?”
The girl in the floral skirt slowly approached and asked.
Behind her, the entire team walked over, while some went to dissect the Fire Rat Beast and gather materials.
“You are here alone? I’m guessing your team encountered a powerful demon beast, and you got separated from them.”
The robust young man looked at Chen Yu, speaking very plainly.
But the middle-aged man gave Chen Yu a few more glances, he initially noticed the demon beast first and only saw Chen Yu afterward, perhaps because the young man seemed too inconspicuous.
“Yes, may I ask who you are?”
In order not to arouse suspicion from the natives of the Red Earth Secret Realm, Chen Yu did not refute the robust young man’s words.
“We are from the ‘Black Iron Tribe’!”
The robust young man answered with a hint of pride in his brow.
After all, the Black Iron Tribe was considered a strong tribe among the many tribes in the vicinity.
And this young man who got separated from his team must be from some minor tribe.
“If we hadn’t intervened just now, you might have already been eaten by that Fire Rat Beast!”
The robust young man added another sentence.
In his view, Chen Yu was probably scared stiff by the Postnatal Late Stage Fire Rat Beast just now.
And Chen Yu was really lucky to have run into them in a dangerous moment; otherwise, he would have become food in the belly of the Fire Rat Beast.
“Thank you very much!”
Chen Yu smiled.
With his strength, he did not need to worry about the Fire Rat Beast; if it dared to approach, he would kill it with one punch.
However, compared to this, making contact and understanding the world here with the natives was more important.
“It’s okay. It’s too dangerous for you to be out here alone; why not come to the Black Iron Tribe for now, and then we can contact your tribe to retrieve you?”
The girl in the floral skirt said cheerfully.
Her first time hunting far from the tribe and rescuing someone made her quite happy.
The robust young man was somewhat annoyed that they had to help this outsider, but he didn’t object in front of the girl in the floral dress.
“Just follow us!”
The robust young man gave Chen Yu a fleeting look.
“This hunting trip has already met the standards. Let’s head back!”
On the other hand, after processing the Fire Rat Beast, the middle-aged man spoke.
“Are we going back already?”
The girl in the floral skirt was clearly reluctant.
“This area is very dangerous, not only with deadly lands and powerful demon beasts but also, I heard that some people from the Green Mountain Tribe encountered sand bandits here recently. We were lucky today not to run into any trouble. Let’s head back quickly!”
The middle-aged man advised.
“Yes, Yan Qin, there have been a few shadowy sightings of sand bandits here recently; we should hurry back!”
The robust young man also said.
The girl in the floral skirt nodded, and then the group prepared to return to the Black Iron Tribe.
In the team, many glanced at Chen Yu.
“This kid is so lucky; usually, anyone getting separated from their team is destined to become demon beast food!”
“Not if Yan Qin didn’t have a kind heart and decided to take him along. If it were me, I wouldn’t even bother with this kid!”
At the very back of the team, several people chatted and joked quietly.
But just then.
Wuuu~
Waves of chilling howls of demon beasts, accompanied by the sound of iron hooves shaking, approached.
Soon, the ground slightly tremored, and every member of the squad showed alert expressions, many panicking.
“Not good, it’s sand bandits!”
The heart of the middle-aged man sank, his expression solemn.
