Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 348 - 250: You’re Going to Die!

Out of the wolf pack, and into the tiger’s mouth.

Zhao Yi originally thought that as long as he hid in the big river, he could avoid being sensed by that thing inside the Great Hero Hall.

Unexpectedly, the real danger was beneath the big river.

Sensing Zhao Yi’s presence, the black tree roots began to writhe.

The dense patterns on the roots emitted a peculiar faint light.

With just one glance, Zhao Yi felt dizzy and his consciousness blurred, even his spirit was diminished.

"What an evil thing!"

Staring at the constantly twisting black tree roots, Zhao Yi’s expression was grave, his face pale, and an unprecedented sense of crisis surged in his heart.

Retreat!

Zhao Yi hesitated not for a second.

His figure flashed, like an arrow from a string, retreating towards the water’s surface with incredible speed.

His speed was extremely fast, like a flood dragon emerging from the sea, shooting upwards against the current, punching a hole through the surging river.

Emerging from the big river, Zhao Yi dared not delay, with a thought, he left the Secret Realm directly.

The moment Zhao Yi vanished, dozens of black tree roots sparkling with peculiar faint light stabbed towards him simultaneously.

The ends of the black tree roots were extremely sharp, if Zhao Yi had been in his previous position, he would have been pierced like a sieve by now.

After leaving the Secret Realm, Zhao Yi appeared at the entrance of the Treasure Tower.

Gazing at the deep entrance of the Treasure Tower, Zhao Yi’s expression was solemn, his face unimaginably grave.

The Treasure Tower Secret Realm is different from other secret realms; one does not need to exit from the entrance. As long as the space is not sealed off, one can leave instantly with a mere thought.

This was why Zhao Yi’s face was so unpleasant.

People in the Secret Realm can leave anytime.

But the monster inside the Great Hero Hall had killed so many people.

There are two possibilities here.

One is that the monster possesses immense divine power, so much so that when it acted, people in the Secret Realm didn’t even have time to react before they were slaughtered.

The second is that those who entered never expected anyone to attack them, allowing the monster to strike when they were completely unguarded, naturally resulting in a fatal hit.

Zhao Yi suspected the second possibility was more likely.

Previously, at the entrance to the Great Hero Hall, if he hadn’t suddenly sensed an exceedingly evil aura, Zhao Yi might have entered that hall out of curiosity as well.

Zhao Yi was indeed lucky.

When the monster in the Great Hero Hall attempted to pursue Zhao Yi, it broke the ban of "卍" shaped golden light sealing the entire Secret Realm.

Otherwise, Zhao Yi couldn’t have escaped so easily.

Zhao Yi could easily imagine it.

If he had entered the monster’s domain without any guard...

The best outcome might have been escaping death.

As for the other outcomes...

Zhao Yi thought of those peculiar light-emitting patterns he saw at the bottom of the river.

Those patterns gave Zhao Yi a very bad feeling.

With just one glance, Zhao Yi felt his spirit wane, his divine soul severely injured.

Clearly, those cultivators, like the Sage of Time, killed by that monster inside the Great Hero Hall did not end their suffering even in death.

The monster, in an extremely evil manner, refined their divine souls into those peculiar patterns.

As long as the monster isn’t eradicated, they can never find peace.

Standing at the entrance of the Treasure Tower, Zhao Yi did not hesitate and re-entered the Secret Realm.

As soon as he entered, Zhao Yi sensed the pervasive evil aura in the air.

He did not hesitate, and instantly retreated out again.

At the spot where Zhao Yi had just left, a few black roots roamed in the void.

They seemed to be searching for his presence or perhaps angry for losing their prey.

Returning to the entrance of the Treasure Tower, Zhao Yi did not pause, re-entering the Secret Realm again.

This time it was still the Great Hero Hall Secret Realm, retreat.

Again, retreat.

Once more, retreat.

...

Zhao Yi repeated this over thirty times before, during another entrance, he finally found himself not in the Great Hero Hall Secret Realm anymore.

"Indeed, the core restriction controlling this Treasure Tower Secret Realm isn’t that smart. With enough repetitions, one can break and change the realm passage to enter another secret realm."

This secret realm was a strange red forest.

Zhao Yi stood atop the crown of one of the giant trees, surveying his surroundings, only to see a fiery red expanse.

Seeing a boundless sea of fire, Zhao Yi felt not awe but pressured because the whole world had only one color.

Looking for only a moment, Zhao Yi felt as if his spiritual world was being polluted, with his spirits low, his consciousness muddled, and a dizziness overcoming him, sparking suicidal thoughts in his mind.

The moment this thought arose, Zhao Yi was suddenly startled.

When he looked at this world again, he suddenly felt a creepy sensation.

At that moment, Zhao Yi suddenly realized a problem.

It seemed he wasn’t the only one harboring those absurd thoughts.

For when Zhao Yi observed his surroundings, he found that in this quirky Red Forest Secret Realm World, there was no sign of any living creature.

No birds, beasts, snakes, ants, fish, or insects were present.

The entire realm held only trees.

Fiery red trees!

Everything else had perished.

It seemed as if after waiting so long without Zhao Yi ending his own life, a rustling sound of leaves came from the Red Forest.

With the swaying of branches, red leaves withered from the treetops.

Then, Zhao Yi suddenly noticed the wind rising.

Out of nowhere, a strong wind began to howl through the Red Forest.

The gales stirred the fiery red leaves, making them dance in the void.

The red leaves swirling above the forest made the entire Secret Realm look like a blazing fire sea.

Seeing the approaching gale and leaves, Zhao Yi’s mind stirred, and he instantly left the secret realm.

Standing at the entrance of the Treasure Tower, Zhao Yi’s face looked ever more grim.

It was evident, the leaves and the gale in the Red Forest Secret Realm, like the "卍" shaped golden light in the Great Hero Hall Secret Realm, were means to seal off the entire Secret Realm World.

If Zhao Yi had been a bit slower just now, the red leaves would have blanketed the entire Secret Realm Space, making further escape difficult.

Though lacking direct proof, Zhao Yi had eighty percent certainty in his heart that the Red Forest was also an extension of the monster within the Great Hero Hall.

Because, within the Red Forest, Zhao Yi sensed things akin to the black tree roots, affecting the divine soul and spiritual consciousness.

"That monster has likely operated within the Treasure Tower Secret Realm for hundreds of millennia, perhaps penetrating the entire Tower!"

Zhao Yi’s thoughts ventured even further.

When the Buddha left the Treasure Tower Secret Realm at Sumeru Mountain, entrusting it to the people of Little Leiyin Temple to manage, could it have been in preparation for this day?

"Now, there’s only one question left."

Looking at the Buddha demon-subduing relief on the Treasure Tower’s wall, Zhao Yi’s eyes flickered with a strange light.

"The monster inside the Great Hero Hall, is it the Buddha?"

As Zhao Yi pondered, suddenly he felt another presence beside him.

The protagonist saw Zhao Yi standing at the entrance, slightly surprised.

"You didn’t go inside?"

"I did."

Zhao Yi’s gaze drifted back from the relief to look at the protagonist.

"You’re going to die!"
