After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

Chen Xing gave a dry laugh, "That shouldn't be the case."

If it were that tiny crawling hole, he could still understand, but if the entire building were an illusion, just how immense would the size of the Azure King Conch have to be.

The next moment, as if to prove his guess,

The surrounding light rapidly vanished, the solid ground beneath their feet turned soft, as if stepping on a sponge, and the large door that was within reach closed quickly, all the light around them disappeared.

Alright, alright, indeed this was the real deal.

Chen Xing shouted loudly, "Brother Zhao, stop playing, it's over! The Azure King Conch and that Red-faced Rakshasa Crab, they're actors you hired, aren't they?"

Wang Bing took a deep breath, the doubts in the depths of his eyes slightly unraveling.

In fact, from the moment the Red-faced Rakshasa Crab appeared, he felt a hint of the unreal.

As far as he knew, the Red-faced Rakshasa Crab definitely shouldn't appear in Ze City Secret Realm.

Though the Red-faced Rakshasa Crab is an evolved form of the Scythe Ghost Crab, the Treasure Materials needed for evolution are not common, especially in places like Ze City Secret Realm, where people outnumber monsters.

How could it have been such a fortuitous coincidence that just the right kinds of Treasure Materials required for evolution had been nurtured and found by a "coincidentally" evolving Scythe Ghost Crab.

So it could only have been brought in by outsiders.

The Secret Realm is easy to exit but hard to enter.

Entering requires identity scanning; members of an Evil Cult would find it extremely difficult to get into the Secret Realm.

Moreover, Brother Zhao's Beast Taming creature has evolved once, indicating that he is at least an Intermediate Beast Tamer, but he has never been seen summoning a second tamed beast.

And with such a commotion just now, why were no other staff members to be seen?

A host of doubts lingered in his heart, so Wang Bing always kept one eye open.

"Yo, you found out?"

Zhao Liang's voice came from outside the door, "Come on out."

As his voice fell, the same door reappeared. Chen Xing walked out and saw Zhao Liang and Burning Hunter Wasps in the corridor outside.

He glanced at the Burning Hunter Wasps and felt slightly relieved. Zhao Liang was genuine...

He had never thought Illusion Techniques could be so terrifying.

"Let's go, back to the safe zone," Zhao Liang turned and walked ahead. "When did you guys figure it out?"

After walking out of the house, Chen Xing looked back.

Behind him stood the same slightly dilapidated building.

Incredible... he couldn't see its Attribute?

Chen Xing's eyes sharpened.

He wasn't sure if it was because its Energy Level was too high to observe, or because the Azure King Conch was casting an Illusion Technique on its surface, and since he hadn't witnessed its true form, he couldn't make an observation.

But one thing was certain: this Azure King Conch... no, it definitely wasn't an Azure King Conch. Since they could hire a Red-faced Rakshasa Crab to act, getting an evolved Azure King Conch to take part wouldn't be much of a problem either.

"When did you guys figure it out?" Zhao Liang asked curiously.

Chen Xing glanced at him, "We only confirmed it a short while ago. If we could've seen through it earlier, I wouldn't have come here at all and just watched how you would perform."

Zhao Liang rubbed his bald head and laughed heartily.

"This has nothing to do with me; it was your coach who asked me to bring you guys here," Zhao Liang promptly betrayed Kuang Shiyi.

"This place is specially designed to train newcomers with Illusion Techniques, mainly to let you experience how treacherous people can be. I believe after this time, you'll all be more cautious in the outside world."

"We'll definitely be more cautious, alright. We were eaten up. If there had been malicious intent, we probably would have been digested by now.

By the way, Brother Zhao, just how big was that Azure King Conch that swallowed us? I've heard that adult Azure King Conchs are only three to four meters tall, so that one should be more than just that size, right?" Wang Bing asked, voicing the question Chen Xing also had in mind.

Zhao Liang shook his head, "I don't know either; very few people have seen its true form, and there aren't many who even know the name of its evolved state.

But I've heard that this Azure King Conch has lived for at least several hundred years; it was already here when the Secret Realm first opened."

"It's quite an old creature," Chen Xing remarked. For it, this was probably just a way to amuse itself every once in a while.

Suddenly, Chen Xing thought about the woman in green he had encountered earlier. She was an illusion crafted by the Green King Conch, but was there really such a person, or was it just a randomly forged phantom?

From her performance, the woman's demeanor and tone had been incredibly lifelike, as though it could only be the result of careful observation over a long time.

"So this is like a murder mystery game?" Chen Xing commented.

"How do you feel being accompanied by so many of us?"

"I wouldn't dare make a move."

"What about that Red-faced Rakshasa Crab?"

"Belonging to the staff."

"Impressive."

"To make it realistic, we really went at it just now, Brother Zhao, I had a slight edge."

"Your competitive spirit is truly strong, Zhao Liang!"

"Hahahahahaha."

The shiny bald head right in front of them.

Chen Xing clenched his fist and made a gesture.

He finally gave up the idea of knocking on it after giving the wary Blaze Hunter Wasp one last look.

The Blaze Hunter Wasp suddenly lowered its altitude, moved its limbs to mimic a knocking action, and then glanced back at Chen Xing.

Chen Xing was stunned.

The Blaze Hunter Wasp nodded, giving him an encouraging look.

Chen Xing felt moved, leaped up, and aimed a bounce at the bald head.

He performed the action he'd wanted to do from the very first moment he saw that bald head.

"Ouch!"

...

"Damn it, you little bugger, that was a hard hit. Was this your teacher's idea, why take it out on me?" Zhao Liang complained, rubbing his polished head.

Then he glared at the Blaze Hunter Wasp, "Rebellious critter! Was it really necessary to rebel just because I made you quit sugar for a week?"

Speaking, Zhao Liang pulled out a map from his bosom and handed it to Chen Xing, "Here, take a look."

Chen Xing took the map from Zhao Liang's hand.

Then he compared it to his own map; one, two, three, four... Zhao Liang's map only had 4 safe zones.

Damn, this place beneath his feet wasn't a safe zone at all!

At that moment, Chen Xing suddenly understood why the teachers didn't let them use the official map of the Secret Realm issued to them, but instead said they had prepared one in advance.

From the very first day in the Secret Realm, this glaring pitfall had been waiting for them to jump in!

"When you see your teachers tomorrow, do the same to them," Zhao Liang muttered.

"Brother Zhao, I'm sorry, I just couldn't help myself just now," Chen Xing apologized sincerely.

Wang Bing asked, "Brother Zhao, from what you just said, are we not the only ones who came here?"

"Of course, many students from the school teams of public high schools have to come here for the experience."

"Then why haven't we heard about it before?"

Zhao Liang grinned maliciously, "You messed up, don't you want your juniors to experience it too? Your senior teammates from the school had their experience here on their first night."

After exchanging glances, Chen Xing and the others tacitly agreed. They made up their minds not to let the secret out so that future juniors could also have a proper training opportunity.

"Moreover, depending on your levels, the scenarios vary. The bottom line is to ensure an exciting experience. However, you lads are pretty sharp. You managed to find out ahead of time. Many were fooled into crawling through holes, tsk tsk tsk... I heard that the real thrill is beyond those holes."
