Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 742 - 235: Rescue Squad
"Indeed, the descendants of the Eight Desolate Beast Clan may have already taken root and thrived on another continent, forming a formidable existence comparable to the Wuji Continent. If you were the descendants of the Eight Desolate Beast Clan, expelled and slaughtered many years ago, what would you do?" the Second Elder sighed.
They would accumulate strength, and one day, return to the Wuji Continent to avenge the fallen Eight Great Clan Leaders of that era.
The trainees already had the answer in their minds, and all were filled with a rising sense of unease. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
The era of the Eight Great Masters had passed long ago.
On the continent, no one had emerged to equal the heights of the Eight Great Masters, and even the Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts used by them had disappeared without a trace.
In such circumstances, if the descendants of the Eight Desolate Beast Clan were to return, the Wuji Continent would be in grave danger.
Understanding this, the descendants of the Eight Great Masters, including the Five Great Countries and other forces, have been tirelessly searching for clues about the descendants of the Eight Desolate Beast Clan for thousands of years.
They opened some of the seals of the Dutian Beast Blood Realm hoping that through the Beast Blood Realm, they could find the secret passages established by the Eight Great Clan Leaders and ultimately eliminate the Eight Desolate Beast Clan.
But for many years, their search has been fruitless.
The Five Great Countries and various forces have issued orders; any leads on the descendants of the Eight Desolate Beast Clan must be reported immediately, and any suspected descendants are to be executed without mercy.
The Second Elder was compelled to reveal these long-buried events to the trainees.
He suspected that the recent leak of the Sky Magic Array over Sky Wing City had directly led to the return of the descendants of the Eight Desolate Beast Clan to the continent, and even the Beast Clan was searching for the secret passage left behind.
"Second Elder, you mean that this instance of the Five-Colored Cloud might be related to the descendants of the Eight Desolate Beast Clan," Lan, although aware of some details, was hearing for the first time about the existence of a secret passage in the Dutian Beast Blood Realm.
"But that is just a conjecture. Until now, they have not been able to clarify what exactly the Five-Colored Cloud is, or what exactly happened in the central area of the Beast Blood Realm. The only thing to do now is to enter and investigate the central area. These are just my and the Fourth Elder’s speculations; the rest is for you to discover."
After listening to the Second Elder’s words, the hearts of the trainees also grew heavy.
Especially Yun Sheng, who now felt a torrent of emotions, finally understood why the Summoning Court pursued Hu Jiusheng after discovering his identity.
And why the Emperor of Great Zhou also collaborated with the Summoning Court to encircle and suppress Hu Jiusheng.
The ancestor of the Emperor of Great Zhou was also one of the Eight Great Masters, and he must have left secret notes or a will for his descendants.
Her body carried the blood of the Eight Desolate Beast Clan; if this fact were to be revealed, what would her future hold?
Yun Sheng pondered these thoughts in her heart.
Considering that there were more than forty new trainees this time, who originally did not qualify to enter the central area of the Dutian Beast Blood Realm,
but now a large number of people were needed for the rescue effort, and the new trainees had to participate as well.
The Second and Fourth Elders made corresponding arrangements, with the Second Elder and more than a dozen trainees staying at the station.
The Fourth Elder led the remaining thirty-plus trainees to enter the central area of the Beast Blood Realm.
Aside from the Sunrise Tutor and his trainees, who must remain at the station, all trainees must join the team and enter the central area of the Beast Blood Realm.
The Fourth Elder led a group of ten himself, then selected two trainees to act as temporary team leaders to lead their respective teams.
"Liu Tongtian, Lan, among all the trainees, you two are the strongest and have the most experience entering and exiting the Beast Blood Realm. The new trainees will be under your leadership."
Liu Tongtian and Lan also selected their trainees.
Chen Lian Lian, Feng Tian, and Liu Tongtian form one team; Yun Sheng, Qi, and Lan form another team.
Three teams shoulder to shoulder, heading together towards the central area of the Beast Blood Realm.
Along the way, Yun Sheng noticed that anomalies indeed occurred around the perimeter of the Beast Blood Realm, with numerous Martial Artists and Mages already retreating from the outskirts, and news about the Five-Colored Cloud devouring people surfacing from time to time.
Upon reaching the bottom of the Feiyue River, the red blood mist ahead was even denser, blurring the view beyond ten meters.
Before departure, the Second Elder had instructed that all trainees must take a Detoxification Pill before entering the central area of the Beast Blood Realm.
Old trainees take one pill, new trainees two, but regardless of being old or new, all must exit the Beast Blood Realm within twenty-four hours after taking the Elixirs.
Moreover, under no circumstances is it allowed to enter the core zone of the Beast Blood Realm.
Otherwise, the dense Blood Evil Energy near the Blood Seal might invade the body and potentially cause mental collapse and demonic possession.
"Understood," everyone responded in unison.
Just as the three teams were about to enter the central area of the Beast Blood Realm, Liu Tongtian suddenly stopped Lan and her team.
"Lan, since each of us has a team, why don’t we have a little competition," Liu Tongtian said arrogantly, glancing at Lan.
Lan is the second top in the Magic Power List of the Mainland Magic Elite Camp; over the past two years, she has been Liu Tongtian’s most direct threat.
Moreover, as the direct disciple of the Great Elder, the camp is abuzz with talk that Lan is very likely to succeed the Great Elder’s position in the future.
This made Liu Tongtian, who is eager to make a name for himself on the continent, very envious.
Lan, being a proud person herself, naturally would not back down when Liu Tongtian issued a challenge.
Comparing their teams, Liu Tongtian’s team includes Chen Lian Lian, who is among the top hundred in the Magic Power List, plus three or four other veterans. Among the newcomers, there is also Feng Tian, who was top of the Potential List when he first joined.
Lan’s team, on the other hand, chose Yun Sheng and Qi for their relatively low-profile demeanor, due to her dislike of Chen Lian Lian and Feng Tian’s style; the remaining members are new but generally average in strength.
Looking at it, Liu Tongtian’s team seems to have a slight edge in strength.
But Lan was not discouraged.
"Alright, let’s limit this to twenty-four hours. The team that kills more Blood Cloud Beasts or rescues more trainees during this time, will be the winner. As for the stake, you choose," Lan immediately consulted with her team members and agreed to the challenge.
"Then I will not hesitate, my stake is that the losing team will automatically give up the next mission to search for Divine Artifacts," Liu Tongtian had anticipated that Lan would take the bait.
Lan did not expect Liu Tongtian would make such a demand.
The days to search for the Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts are drawing near.
The Great Elder had long mentioned that Lan must participate this time.
Liu Tongtian must also have heard some rumors, thus deliberately putting it this way.
Because there are rumors from the outside world that the Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts unearthed this time might be the Magic God Bracelet left by the very first Magic God; the Great Elder’s intention is for Lan to take this opportunity to obtain the Magic God Bracelet and thus inherit the mantle of the Great Elder.
