The bald man with two shoulder cannons was the most carefree. After becoming slightly acquainted, he raised doubts about the five-pointed Shield summoned by Su Ping after entering the Secret Realm.

Before Su Ping could speak up, the leading stern man furrowed his brow and scolded, "Old Wang, do not pry into Breeder Su's Pet Beasts."

Pet Beasts were personal secrets. Unless there was a pressing matter, one shouldn't snoop unless the relationship was extremely close.

However, Su Ping didn't mind. "It's alright, it's just my Pet Beast. I initially intended to test its combat power in this Secret Realm, but now it seems that with several of you here, my turn is unlikely to come."

"Hehe, Breeder Su, you should rest up and watch us perform. We can't bear the responsibility if anything happens to you," someone laughed.

Su Ping paid no mind. The Shield formed by the Five Elements Paper Diagram glowed with multicolored radiance.

The part belonging to the Water Element shone with the brightest blue light. Clearly, in this Secret Realm world abundant with Water Element Energy, the Heart of Elements within the Five Elements Paper Diagram had fully transformed into the Heart of Water, drawing upon the Water Element Energy of this Secret Realm.

And finally, amidst such casual conversation, after a little over ten minutes but less than twenty, the sounds of rushing water continuously arrived from all around the island.

Something was swiftly leaping forth from beneath the unknown depths of the water.

"They're here!"

With a fierce shout, the three to four Pet Beasts in front of each person made no move, while everyone's hands now held a gun.

Then the RAT-A-TAT-TAT of gunfire followed suit.

Specially crafted bullets pierced through the water's surface, hitting one creature after another below. Tiny spots of scarlet slowly surfaced, spreading the scent of blood. This made the various Water Element Pet Beasts crazed by the smell of their own kind's blood.

The water around the small island churned with bubbling froth, extremely turbulent.

And Su Ping finally saw clearly what Pet Beasts were underneath the water.

He was accustomed to encountering numerous Water Element Pet Beasts, but what appeared before him still took him aback slightly.

In such a vast Water Element Secret Realm, all sorts of underwater Pet Beasts could exist, he thought.

But at this moment, there was only one type of Pet Beast before him.

It had dark scales covering its body, sinister triangular eyes, and its thrashing movements were causing the flowing seawater to start freezing into ice!

The Blackwater Mysterious Snake!

Although Su Ping felt the name of this Pet Beast was vaguely familiar, he couldn't deny the shift in the previously relaxed expressions of the four men upon actually witnessing its appearance.

A Pet Beast with Monarch Level Racial Potential!

This was to be expected, but what truly dismayed them was the sheer number of these creatures!

The Mechanical Weapons guns in their hands, originally tasked with clearing out Low-Level Pets, were clearly of little use against these creatures.

Indeed, at this moment, even if the firearms occasionally managed to kill one or two lower-Level individuals, their bodies would be swiftly devoured by the Blackwater Mysterious Snakes nearby.

"How is this possible? In a Secret Realm with an upper limit of Monarch Level entry, why are there so many Monarch Level Pet Beasts? This is unscientific!"

The bald man's previous ease had vanished. In front of him, one or two Monarch Level Blackwater Mysterious Snakes had already come ashore, only to be blocked by the line of defense formed by his Pet Beasts.

Indeed, as he said, there was an ecological chain within the Secret Realm as well.

For instance, in the previous Sword King Secret Realm, those at Monarch Level and below could enter. However, perhaps because it was a Heritage Secret Realm, Su Ping scarcely saw any Monarch Level Pet Beasts.

The strongest were merely at Commander Level.

And now, just appearing before them, were already more than ten Monarch Level Blackwater Mysterious Snakes.

This number, if it were the total in this Secret Realm, wouldn't be much. However, in the sea that spread out before them, countless waves were boiling, and there seemed to be many more Blackwater Mysterious Snakes rapidly heading their way.

The Secret Realm, which had been sunny and bright before, suddenly became bitingly cold.

Blackwater Mysterious Snakes, Pet Beasts of the Water and Ice Systems of Monarch Level, are incredibly powerful and difficult to deal with.

"BOOM!"

Increasing pressure arrived, along with a loud explosion by their ears; the bald man's shoulder cannon had already fired.

The blast from the Electromagnetic Force left the bodies of several Monarch Level Blackwater Mysterious Snakes in front of him charred.

However, this large-scale attack, despite impacting the multitude of Blackwater Mysterious Snakes gathered beneath the water that was already freezing over, ultimately lacked the massive power to directly shatter them.

A drop in the bucket!

This small island, merely over a hundred square meters in size, imposed significant limitations on the battle.

"Damn it, we were careless! Is there something odd about this Secret Realm's Space Characteristics, or is there something else affecting it? A Secret Realm left behind, even if it was by a Saint Spirit-level Beast Tamer, couldn't possibly sustain so many Monarch Level Pet Beasts over so many years!"

The leading stern man frowned as his Golden Knife Centipede was already entangled in battle with a Blackwater Mysterious Snake. The centipede's golden, knife-like legs slashed at the snake's body, cutting off large patches of its pitch-black scales as fresh blood flowed.

"Boss, what do we do now?"

In less than ten minutes, the ground before them was already occupied by snake corpses. However, to the multitude of Blackwater Mysterious Snakes that had emerged from the ocean, this was still insignificant.

What was most important was the terrifying nature of these Blackwater Mysterious Snakes. They could swallow the corpses of their own kind whole, and the injuries they had previously suffered would even recover significantly as a result.

Looking in all four directions, among the Blackwater Mysterious Snakes that appeared in the water—not to mention the lower-Level ones—the Monarch Level ones alone totaled several dozen!

Though they were veteran Monarch-level Beast Tamers from the Qintian Monitor, even if all four of their Pet Beasts were at Monarch Level, they couldn't possibly handle all of these creatures.

The leading stern man's brow was deeply furrowed. "There's no other way. We've failed this time. After we get out, let's go to the boss to accept our punishment. Also, prepare for spatial turbulence!"

The moment a Space Secret Realm began showing cracks, every entrance and exit would cause the crack to widen. This Tidal Secret Realm, with its inherently unstable Energy, was already beginning to fall apart. They could almost imagine that, let alone re-entering after exiting, even their exit this time might cause the space to fluctuate instantly, resulting in the Secret Realm exploding and causing spatial anomalies in the region.

At the same time, these several dozen, nearly a hundred Monarch Level Blackwater Mysterious Snakes would also enter the real world.

This was, after all, near the Eastern Sea region—extremely dangerous!

But there was no choice. At this moment, not only did they need to ensure their own safety, but the most important thing was Su Ping's safety.

However, thinking of Su Ping, the leading stern man quickly looked back. Seeing Su Ping still obediently standing there, he breathed a sigh of relief.

While commanding their Pet Beasts to resist the fierce attacks of these Blackwater Mysterious Snakes, he shouted towards Su Ping, "Su Ping, the situation has changed, prepare to retreat! You open the spatial vortex first with your spiritual power and leave."

Prepare to retreat?

Su Ping certainly saw the predicament of the Qintian Monitor's exploration team facing these Blackwater Mysterious Snakes but, precisely because of that, he was even less willing to retreat.

Could the ability to foster so many Blackwater Mysterious Snakes signify that the Origin of this Secret Realm is extremely robust?

I'm in need of just such an opportunity. If I leave now, wouldn't I miss out on everything?

Thus, facing the rapidly retreating group, Su Ping touched his nose and said, "How about... let me have a try?"
