“This is the captain of your team, Xu Hu, an official investigator of Anping County’s Investigation Corps. This is your companion, Cheng Zhi. She’s also a reserve investigator and she just joined half a month ago. If you have any questions on the way, you can ask Xu Hu. Discuss it among yourselves about the general situation of the Baisen Secret Realm on the way there,” Tang Xiong pointed at the other two and gave Wang Ye a brief introduction, “Also, if you run into other investigation teams on the way, don’t panic. It’s normal. If you run into danger, all of you can face it together.”

“Xu Hu, I’ll leave them to you.”

Xu Hu was a beastmaster in his late twenties. He had a full beard, and he looked kind with his slightly chubby face.

He patted his chest and said with a smile, “Don’t worry. I’m very experienced when it comes to leading rookies. A miniature secret realm isn’t a big deal.”

His figure seemed powerful.

“Hello, my name is Cheng Zhi,” Cheng Zhi was a female in her early twenties. She had a fair complexion and a medium build. She looked very vigorous, wearing hiking boots and a ponytail, which made her seem very capable.

Her facial features were not very exquisite but were still quite pleasing to the eye.

“Wang Ye.”

Judging from his first impression, Wang Ye felt that these two seemed to be quite nice.

They didn’t seem to have any ill intentions. On the contrary, they were quite friendly.

Most of the ordinary people who joined the Investigation Corps did it for the sake of money. They did it because they didn’t have another choice to live.

Therefore, everyone in the Investigation Corps was somewhat sympathetic to their companions.

After the introductions, Xu Hu brought Wang Ye and Cheng Zhi to the south and headed toward the miniature Baisen Secret Realm that was 100 kilometers away.

They traveled on foot and were expected to arrive at night.

On the way, Wang Ye had a simple exchange with them.

He learned that Cheng Zhi had also failed the college entrance exam, but she persisted for two years before joining the Investigation Corps.

She had a six-star level one Otherworldly third-class rock rat that was average in all aspects.

Xu Hu had a one-star level two Transcendent third-class fierce-flame tiger.

“The two of you don’t have to worry about this trip. Just follow behind me and listen to my commands,” Xu Hid with a smile, “The work of the reserve investigators isn’t that dangerous. Sometimes, the miniature secret realm isn’t even as dangerous as the wild since strange fierce beasts will occasionally appear in the wild. It’s been a long time since the dark fog has spread over to our area. In the afternoon, the temperature will warm up, and some fierce beasts will come out to look for food. We’ll make arrangements then.”

As they got further away from the county, the sky grew darker.

That was because they were getting closer to the dark fog.

By noon, Wang Ye felt as if it was evening.

“Let’s rest for an hour. We’ll continue to move forward in the afternoon. We’re considered lucky this morning for not encountering any fierce beasts. Putting that aside, Cheng Zhi, your rock rat knows how to dig holes, right? You can try making it dig holes in the wild. The resources in the wild aren’t as rich as in the secret realms, but if you’re lucky, you can still find some from digging. Sometimes, you can even dig up some fierce beasts’ nests and obtain some remains or pet eggs collected by the fierce beasts. Though, the probability of that is relatively low.”

“Wang Ye, after we set off in the afternoon, you get your green sparrow to fly in the sky and conduct reconnaissance. It’s to prevent us from encountering some too powerful fierce beasts on the way so that we can avoid them.”

Xu Hu got the two of them to set up the tents and began to give them instructions.

Cheng Zhi’s eyes lit up when she heard this and immediately went to try it out.

After Wang Ye set up his tent, he pondered for a moment and ran a script simulation for the green sparrow.

After all, a script simulation did not require a long time.

“This time, let’s not practice the first two skills in the game. Instead, let’s change our methods,” Wang Ye taught Xiao Jiu, “You may encounter those three fierce beasts in the afternoon. With an attack skill, only then will you have a chance to win instead of running. Do you want to run?”

“Chirp, chirp!”

“Good, then do train as I say. You have mastered the skill Feather Coat. When you use this skill, you inject spiritual energy into your feathers to harden and thicken them to protect yourself. So, during the simulation, try to train to throw out your hardened and thickened feathers to form a feather blade attack! If you can do it, by the time you use it, there will be a sky full of flying feather blades! Don’t you think it’s cool?”

Hearing this, Xiao Jiu’s eyes lit up as if it could already see how cool it would look when it used the skill.

After Wang Ye finished giving the instructions, the simulation began!

[Pet information has been updated, loading…]

[0 year old. The green sparrow has begun to train in feather blade attacks. ]

[1 year old. The green sparrow seems to have been enlightened. It can control a feather to fly out. The effect is mediocre.]

[3 years old. The green sparrow can already control ten feathers and can cut some branches with the feathers.]

[5 years old. The green sparrow can already control more than a hundred feathers, causing significant damage.]

[10 years old. The green sparrow grows gradually. It can already control hundreds of feathers that can cut through metal and stone! It has become stronger, but bald.]

[15 years old. The green sparrow has learned a skill, Skyful of Feathers!]

[15 years old and a half. On this day, the green sparrow met the green little insect once again. The green sparrow which has already learned an attack skill feels that it can do it this time. This time, it was going to attack from a distance. The insect probably can’t kill it with one tail attack since it was at a distance, right? With that, the green sparrow flew and used Sky-dance. Then, its entire body flashed with light as it used the Skyful of Feathers to attack the little insect. Immediately, the little insect’s entire body flashed with light, and all of the green sparrow’s feathers bounced back. The green sparrow, which had already become bald, was instantly cut into pieces. It died!]

[Blue characteristic achievement: Perseverance]

Wang Ye was speechless.

Xiao Jiu feigned innoncence.

It just had to go up against the insect, huh?

“The cliff should be the newbie village in the scripted world, right? Why is there such a powerful insect in the newbie village?” Wang Ye sighed.

[The simulation has been completed. You can choose one of the following three rewards.]

[Skill: Skyful of Feathers]

[Genetic Characteristic: Perseverance]

[15 and a half years of six-dimensional growth]

Without hesitation, Wang Ye chose the skill, Skyful of Feathers.

Attack skill, acquired!

[Skyful of Feathers (beginner)]: A beginner soul-type skill. When injecting spiritual energy into the feather and flinging it out, the user may use spiritual power to strengthen the control over the feather. With that, the attack’s power will increase, and its potential will be limitless.

When he saw this skill, Wang Ye was instantly stunned, “A soul-type skill? Controllable with spiritual power? It’s a little strong!”

The soul-type was a unique attribute among pets.

The power of such skills would be very strong from the beginning.

Although it was only a beginner skill, its actual power was much stronger than the intermediate attack skills of other attributes.

The disadvantage was that it was very difficult and time-costly to raise the realm of soul-type skills.

Its requirement for the pet’s soul growth was extremely high!

A skill that took more than ten years of training and comprehension was indeed extraordinary!

Only a level 4 pet could comprehend cross-attribute skills.

It was extremely difficult to train a pet below level 4 to comprehend skills of other attributes, let alone a soul-type skill!

With this move, Xiao Jiu should be able to kill those three fierce beasts!

Wang Ye’s face was a little pale, but he was also a little excited.

His train of thought was not wrong!

He first took a few mind-waking pills to return to vigor.

At this time, the rest time had ended, and Wang Ye exited the tent with Xiao Jiu.

“Wang Ye, why do you look a little weak? Didn’t you just rest for an hour?” When Xu Hu saw Wang Ye’s condition, he first frowned before wearing a knowing expression, “Could it be that you… Young man, you should control yourself a little.”

Wang Ye was speechless.

No, he didn’t do anything of the sort!
