Long Ren nodded, then pointed toward the center of the map: "So, do you think that counts as something unusual?"

Now standing at the top of the mountain cliff with a wider view, they could clearly see a large hemispherical light curtain where the entrance to the instance used to be.

"Of course it counts."

Li Pu nodded.

Long Ren: "Then why are we still dawdling here?"

Li Pu: "..."

So the two of them, along with their summoned beasts, headed down the mountain toward the center of the instance.

The distance from Dragon Lady's tree valley to the center wasn't far. Even at a leisurely pace, it only took them about half an hour to reach the edge of the light curtain.

Li Pu: "Let your scorpion go in and scout the path."

Long Ren: "Why my fire scorpion?"

Li Pu: "Because it's probably used to dying by now."

Long Ren: "..."

The way he put it, Long Ren found it hard to argue back.

[Scorpions die limp!]

But the fire pincers scorpion protested.

Yet Li Pu merely gave it a glance, and it settled down.

No way around it, after all, the battle at Dragon Lady's tree had already proven who's the boss here.

[Caocao!]

Scarecrow: Little Scorpion, hurry up!

The scarecrow, for one, was gloating.

Sure enough, having little brothers around to do the work is great; such tasks no longer fall on its shoulders.

After the fire pincers scorpion's scouting proved there were no dangers inside, they walked in.

Buzzing sound...

While passing through the light curtain, Li Pu felt a slight resistance.

It was like walking through water, but he stepped through it in just one step.

"What kind of stuff is this? A mini Five Elements Realm?"

When they saw the scene inside the light curtain, Long Ren was the first to exclaim.

Because it actually resembled the whole Five Elements Realm, very similar.

Their current location seemed like a buffer zone, about 10 meters wide.

Further in was another nearly transparent light curtain; by passing through this transparent light curtain, they could see the scenery inside.

Inside were five zones, clearly distinguished by metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

However, this area's size was even smaller.

Li Pu felt that calling it a Level 0 zone was more appropriate.

Right across from them was a rocky area entirely made up of stones.

Moss growing in the cracks of rocks were among the few greens.

A 10-meter-tall mountain giant was pacing back and forth in the rocky area.

Although it looked clumsy, Long Ren glanced at it and found it to be a B-rank Level 40 magical beast.

Walking around the safe zone, they discovered other magical beasts.

The distinctive feature of these beasts was their huge size.

Beside the earth-element rocky area was a metallic gleaming desert area.

The sands, with a metallic sheen, looked rather extraordinary.

In the desert, a raised sand dune moved rapidly, occasionally revealing that it was a giant worm.

Continuing onward, next to the desert was a forest area; a massive tree person stood there, no smaller than the mountain giant, wearing wooden armor and vine beard like a Grand General.

Adjacent to the wood element was the water zone where they had previously encountered a big blue frog while being chased by the horned elephant. An old acquaintance—or rather, an old familiar frog.

The frog, having fought the horned elephant, had lost a front leg and had a large hollow in its belly, seeming far from recovery.

Beyond the water zone was a fire area made up of black lava.

All these magical beasts were B-rank Level 40.

Moreover, there was a faint energy line connecting from each of them, leading to a light orb floating about a hundred meters high in the central zone.

"It feels like that light orb is the core of this world."

"Does it mean that we need to take down the Five Elements BOSS to obtain the core?"

Long Ren voiced his speculation.

"I think it's very likely."

Li Pu nodded.

"But it's strange; we can't see the BOSS in the fire region."

Long Ren stared directly at Li Pu.

"You ask me, who do I ask?"

Li Pu's expression remained calm.

[Long inside, oh dragons!]

Semi-dragon person: Stop pretending, the BOSS of the fire region is in your storage space right now, isn't it?

This little act was too much even for the semi-dragon person to endure.

[Cao?!]

Scarecrow: Long brother, what did you say?! The BOSS is in their pocket?!

That certainly startled the naive scarecrow.

Long Ren: "So, should we start with the water region? It's injured and weakest."

Li Pu: "No."

Long Ren: "Uh, then the earth region?"

Li Pu: "Also no."

Long Ren: "Metal region? Wood region?"

Li Pu: "Not those either."

Long Ren: "Then what exactly do you want to do, hey!"

Li Pu: "I want to wait first."
