Little Zhang blinked. He looked incredulously at what lay before him and exchanged a glance with his elder brother beside him.

Am I seeing things? He's got to be kidding me! Who would have thought that such a thing would actually appear? A Dragon? Its presence here is even more absurd than ours.

But clearly, the Colossus before them was not joking.

Those godlike, saintly Gold eyes turned to stare fixedly at the two of them, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

Their hiding techniques might work somewhat against Monarch Level Pet Beasts, but to Da Huang, who had reached Emperor Level Peak, they were indeed useless.

Su Ping turned his head and also saw the brothers hidden in the trunk of the tree, blinking. "What are you doing here?"

At this moment, the Zhang Family Brothers finally noticed a familiar figure beside them.

"Breeder Su, what are you doing here?"

Qin Xiaoxue, Ye Zhou, and Dong Muxuan were also surprised to see these two, never expecting that Su Ping would actually encounter acquaintances in this desolate wilderness! What were the odds?

Su Ping was also baffled. He glanced at the brothers before looking back at the valley, finally realizing something. "Is there a Secret Realm in this valley?"

If it had been someone else asking, the brothers probably would have been vague, but when Su Ping asked, they both nodded.

Setting aside everything else, the mere presence of the Dragon beside them at this moment was overwhelmingly intimidating.

With such a creature standing by their side, almost all Beast Tamers in the Dragon Nation felt absolute envy and reverence towards Dragon Pets.

Now seeing one alive, even these down-on-their-luck brothers were stirred.

However, aside from being stirred up, there was an urge they couldn't suppress: to rant.

What the hell? What happened to exploring danger, to the talk of a life-or-death ordeal, followed by claiming relics and treasures that would let us soar to the heavens? And at a time like this, this Ancestor shows up, not to mention, brings an adult Emperor Level Peak Dragon?! How is that any different from using a laser cannon to swat a mosquito? This is supposed to be an expedition for us brothers, but for him, it's probably just a leisurely stroll, right? Damn it, where did the tension from just now go? Why did it vanish all of a sudden?

Su Ping paid no attention to the brothers, his eyes narrowing slightly as he turned to continue gazing at Myriad Birds Valley.

A Secret Realm? That's not what I was thinking at all! If it were a Secret Realm, how could it attract so many avian Pet Beasts? I originally figured some natural resource in the wild had ripened, drawing them in. That unknown resource itself might even be the cause of the Little Crow's Mutation. That scenario would fit the situation, but a Secret Realm?

However, as Su Ping pondered, the Zhang Family Brothers were changing their minds again at this very moment.

Previously, Da Zhang was indeed ready to flee at the first sign of trouble.

But with this guy's arrival, and that adult Divine Dragon by his side, things are different. Even if we have to explore the Secret Realm with someone else, having this kind of backup is better than anything. It's like an extra layer of insurance.

With this thought, the two emerged from their hiding spot.

Su Ping glanced at the three surprised companions beside him and pointed to the two men. "These are friends I met in Magic Capital. They're private Secret Realm explorers, quite skilled in prospecting. And these three are top students from Magic Capital Academy."

He briefly introduced them and then looked toward the valley and the Little Crow that was eager to dive straight in.

Su Ping then returned his attention to the Little Crow. "So, little guy, were you hurt by these big birds?"

"GAGA!"

The Little Crow nodded, its eyes filled with resentment towards the other birds in the valley.

Su Ping pursed his lips. Although surprised, he remained unfazed.

Why should I be unsettled? Even if there are many of these birds, they're at most Commander Level. Qian Yi, now at Elite Peak, has gained an epic enhancement. The Heart of Elements might be the most basic Super-Rank Skill, but it's still a Super-Rank Skill! The boost it gives Qian Yi is undeniable. Dealing with some Commander Level Pet Beasts probably won't be an issue.

And what about my own side? I have three Commander Level Pet Beasts: the Flower Fairy and Life Ancient Tree with Monarch potential, as well as Qin Xiaoxue with the evolved Crown Wolf Emperor. There's Ye Zhou, who has been the top student at Magic Capital Academy for years, and Dong Muxuan, the direct heir of the Dong Family, a pupil of the Sky-Hunting King. These three are all powerhouses among Commander Level Beast Tamers, capable of holding their own. More importantly, Da Huang is by my side. Is there anything strange here that could leave even Da Huang helpless?

So, in contrast to the Zhang Family Brothers' earlier caution, Su Ping's three companions were now eagerly rubbing their hands together.

A chance to fight! And a real combat opportunity in the wild, no less! The thought made the eyes of the three, who had returned to Linzhou for their vacation, light up.

The three exchanged looks, and the most combative, Qin Xiaoxue, turned to Ye Zhou. "Hey Ye, want to compete? See who bags more prey?"

Ye Zhou smiled. "That depends on what Junior Su says."
