Chapter 184 Crimson Cloud Realm
Chapter 184 Crimson Cloud Realm
Randall has been an insect controller for so long that he naturally has his own information channels. It didn't take long for him to find out the relevant information, and brought some not-so-good news.
"Someone is selling potions disguised as insect scents, allowing non-insect controllers to enter that secret realm. You should know that there are actually many attractive things in that secret realm, and many people have been thinking about it for a long time."
"Is this true? This is too immoral."
Ivan had heard Randall's introduction and knew that the secret realm was not easy to enter, especially for those who were not insect controllers. Now that the special potion had been released, who knew how many wizards would be attracted.
To be able to refine this kind of medicine, one must have a sufficiently in-depth study of insects, and he must be an insect controller.
For the group of insect controllers, the sudden increase in the number of people competing for resources is undoubtedly a disgusting thing.
“There are so many people and it’s so lively.”
Randall smiled nonchalantly.
The master and the disciple came to a tavern where there were already some wizards who came to attend the event. Many of them knew Randall, and someone greeted him as soon as he entered the door.
"Hey, Randall, why aren't you dead yet?"
"Xiao, I am forty years younger than you. You are not dead, so I cannot die."
"May you gain nothing on this quest."
"Thank you. I hope you can hold out in there for a minute."
Not everyone was as enthusiastic as Xiao. After greeting each other, Randall found a corner and sat down as if he was familiar with the place.
After sitting down, Ivan looked around and found that there were quite a few "experienced" insect controllers. They all had some insect characteristics. Some had antennae, like shadow ant servants, some had insect marks on their faces, looking scary, and so on.
It looks like the body has been modified.
In fact, this is not the case. This is an inevitable problem for insect controllers - insectization. Insectization, as the name suggests, is to be assimilated by the aura of insects, causing the body to have insect-like characteristics and even organs.
The effects of insectification on wizards have both advantages and disadvantages.
"Randall, I haven't seen you for many years, and you are still so strong."
"Randall, you are so heartless that you didn't come to see us for so long."
Soon, Randall's friends arrived, a man and a woman, both from the wandering wizard organization.
The three of them met during an adventure. They were in a life-and-death situation and survived by working together. They also formed a deep friendship.
"You are here, Brent, Jasmine, this is my disciple Ivan."
The two of them sat down at the table familiarly, looking at Ivan brought by Randall. It was not until Randall introduced him that they suddenly realized and thought to themselves that this guy finally had a talented disciple.
"So, your Blackbeard Crown has been confirmed?" Jasmine thought of something and asked.
"Yes, Ivan helped me confirm this, haha." Randall nodded with a little pride.
"Well done, you finally got rid of your worry." Jasmine looked at Ivan with appreciation.
Ivan was stunned. His mentor even told them the idea of the Blackbeard Crown. It seemed that they were really close friends. He also vaguely noticed that the witch named Jasmine looked at Randall in a different way, as if she had a hint of admiration for him.
"My friends, you are living a good life and your strength has improved a lot." Randall knew the two of them very well, and because he was very close to them, he sensed something unusual from them.
"We joined an organization that's been very popular recently." Hearing his question, Jasmine answered in a low voice without thinking.
"Jasmine, you can't talk about this." Brent reminded her hurriedly. They had signed a contract and some things could not be revealed to others. Besides, Randall's disciples were not their friends.
Seeing that the three had other things to say, Ivan suggested going to Cloudfall City for a stroll. As for the organization that the other party mentioned, he also knew something about it. In recent years, there has been a force stirring up trouble in the Moon Clamp Peninsula, and it seems to be trying to win over wizards, especially wizards from the Wandering Wizard Organization.
Its purpose is unknown. It is unlikely that they are attracted by the increasingly barren land of Yueqian Peninsula. It is also unknown whether it is the organization that the Kisan wizard belonged to last time.
Outside the pub.
Jiangyun City was like most places on the plateau. The sky was very blue with many white clouds floating in the sky, and occasionally a cloud mixed with other colors would pass by.
After a while, Ivan withdrew his gaze and walked along the street.
Four days later.
Not far from Jiangyun City, a cloud with a faint crimson color appeared in the sky.
The clouds were extremely large, like a mountain spanning the sky, with one end of the mountain being pulled down by an unknown force and about to fall to the ground.
Ivan had followed the crowd to the outside of Jiangyun City. He sensed carefully and could indeed sense a force bursting out from the earth, constantly pulling at the mountain-like clouds. The force looked heavy, but in fact it was illusory, making him feel it very unreal.
With a slight sound, the scarlet cloud ridge fell to the ground.
"The Crimson Cloud Realm is about to open."
"The Cloud Realm is unpredictable. I don't know what kind of landforms it will have this year. I hope there won't be any mess."
"Don't let your imagination run wild. Every year there is a mess."
Looking at the crimson cloud ridge that fell to the ground, the wizards chatted in twos and threes.
The Crimson Cloud Realm is a strange secret realm, which is like an ever-changing cloud. Every time wizards enter it, the situation they see will be different from the last time.
In addition to the wizards, there were also some third-class apprentices present. They came here to try their luck and dared only stand far away.
"Wizard Ivan, you must be careful in what you do. If you are not strong enough and directly reveal your non-insect aura, you will be sent out of the secret realm. Remember this."
Before entering the secret realm, Jasmine gave a special reminder for Randall's sake.
In her opinion, the other party was Randall's disciple and must have become a formal wizard not long ago. His strength was not as good as other senior wizards, so safety should be the top priority.
"I understand. Thank you, Wizard Jasmine, for the reminder." Ivan nodded slightly.
In response to this, Randall chuckled. He knew that his disciple was never a simple person and he didn't need to worry about anything. In the end, he might gain more than himself and others.
Along with a sound of insects chirping that seemed to come from ancient time and space, a rotating crack appeared at the outer end of the Crimson Cloud Ridge. The crack expanded rapidly. As long as it stabilized, the wizards would be able to enter.
“My fellow wizards, you must thank me this time, because the more insect controllers enter the secret realm, the stronger the insect aura that gathers, and the more valuable the resources that appear inside. This is the characteristic of the secret realm.
Also, let me correct you, it is called the 'Dead Bug Cloud Realm', not the 'Scarlet Cloud Realm', do you understand?"
Someone shouted loudly, attracting most people's attention.
A wizard wearing a strange mask with gaps in it, exposing his mouth and eyes. Facing so many gazes, he showed a polite yet cheerful smile.
This masked wizard seemed to know a lot about the Crimson Cloud Realm and casually mentioned an important piece of information about the secret realm, which was thought-provoking.
"Then I'll go ahead."
Without waiting for anyone to object, the masked wizard rushed towards the already stabilized secret portal.
