âRumble!â
The mountain began to collapse. The ground cracked like a spiderweb, and boulders tumbled into the magma. Streams of flames shot out as if they wanted to burn everything in the past.
Lu Benwei and the old beggarâs faces darkened as they helped each other escape.
âBrother, Iâm here to save you!â
At this critical moment, the Three-tailed Crocodile appeared out of nowhere.
âArenât you dead?â
Lu Benwei was very surprised to see that the Three-tailed Crocodile was intact.
The Three-tailed Crocodile scratched his head and shouted, âThe water in Hellâs Well contains the purification of life. I absorbed a portion of it and obtained a huge opportunity.â
As he spoke, the Three-tailed Crocodile wagged his tail.
Lu Benwei found it very strange. The Three-tailed Crocodileâs three thick tails had already become six. At the same time, there were golden stripes on his mercury-like body. He carefully sensed the immortal power.
After Lu Benwei and the old beggar congratulated the crocodile, they sat on the back of the crocodile. The crocodile carried the two of them and began to escape.
âRumble!â
Boulders rolled into the magma, and black smoke covered the sky. At the same time, the new land began to grow, and strange green plants began to show wonders.
Destruction and rebirth were happening at the same time. It was a spectacular sight.
Lu Benwei saw a strange lotus flower at the place where a mountain collapsed. There were three layers of petals, each with nine petals. The petals were as white as jade and emitted extremely holy energy.
The old beggar looked at the lotus flower eagerly and his Adamâs apple bobbed.
âOld b*stard, is that the spirit herb you mentioned?â Lu Benwei asked curiously.
The old beggar sighed helplessly and waved his hand. âForget it, our lives are more important. We can come back when we have time.â
Soon, the three of them arrived at the exit of the secret realm.
The crocodile said, âBrother, you humans must go out from the Three Mountains Secret Realm now. I can only send you here.â
He looked at Lu Benwei eagerly, his eyes filled with hope.
Lu Benwei smiled faintly and said, âWhy? You donât want to go to the human world with me?â
âOf course, I do, but Iâll bring you a lot of trouble if I go.â
Lu Benwei patted his head. âStupid. Since you call me big brother, why would I despise you for being troublesome?â
Lu Benwei could tell that he was not a bad person. Otherwise, he would not have risked his life to save him and the old beggar. âReally, brother? Youâre willing to take me to the human world!â
Lu Benwei pondered for a while and said, âOf course, but you have to enter the Bronze Temple first.â
The crocodile patted his belly happily. He was already a little impatient.
âBy the way, you have to get along well with the people inside.â
Lu Benwei took out the Bronze Temple and reminded.
The crocodile was very puzzled. At the same time, he wondered if this small room could hold him. Other than that, there was someone else in this dilapidated house?
Before he could ask, Lu Benwei had already caught the crocodile.
âOld b*stard, letâs go back!â Lu Benwei said after making arrangements for the crocodile. He suddenly raised his head and realized that there was no one around.
âCould this old fellow have gone to pick that lotus flower?â Lu Benwei muttered.
At this moment, the new students in the Three Mountains Secret Realm had yet to arrive. Could it be that a huge mountain had collapsed, and the riverbed had broken?
This was the old beggarâs choice alone. Lu Benwei could not do anything to him.
After Lu Benwei entered the teleportation array, a flash of light appeared in front of him, and he finally returned to Jinmen City.
The indescribable plague also ended because of the Three-headed Dogâs death.
However, the moment Lu Benwei appeared, thousands of black and cold gun barrels were aimed at his head.
âDonât move!â
Lu Benwei silently raised his hand and looked at the army in front of him with a dumbfounded expression.
Other than guns, some hunters stepped forward and asked Lu Benwei, âWho are you?â
âHumanâ¦â
This situation was within Lu Benweiâs expectations.
With such a huge change in the Three Mountains Secret Realm, the outside world must have been affected. However, he did not expect the commotion to be so huge that even the army was mobilized.
The army stationed in Jinmen City was in disbelief when he saw Lu Benwei. âWhatâs wrong with you? Other people are either missing an arm or a leg, or their life essence has been absorbed and theyâve aged a few years. Why are you completely fine?â
Lu Benwei thought for a while and answered, âI just slept for a while. When I saw that the Three Mountains Secret Realm had changed drastically, I came out.â
âWhere did you sleep at that time?â someone asked.
Lu Benwei casually made up a lie to cover it up, and the army let him go.
After returning to the hotel, Lu Benwei found out that the second head of the Qi family, Qi Wu, had yet to leave Jinmen City. He had some guesses. The first was that the Qi familyâs assets in Jinmen City had not been successfully retrieved. Secondly, the whereabouts of the Qi siblings were unknown.
Little did they know that the two of them had already died in the Three Mountains Secret Realm.
When Qi Tianci learned that Lu Benwei, who had disappeared, had reappeared, he was very happy and immediately came to look for him.
âBrother Lu, itâs great that youâre safe and sound. You donât know what happened in the past two days!â
As soon as Qi Tianci saw Lu Benwei, he began to complain. From his words, Lu Benwei learned that he had entered the secret realm. In the past few days, there had been a huge plague in Jinmen City. However, it only lasted for two days before the plague broke out.
Now, almost everyone in the city knew that the source of this plague came from the Three Mountains Secret Realm. âBrother Lu, weâre all smart people. When the Qi family saw that they couldnât reclaim their assets in Jinmen City, they gradually wanted to give up. But the Qi siblings havenât come out of the Three Mountains Secret Realm for a long time, and such a big thing has happened there. Everyone knows that, but they wonât shed tears until they see their coffin. So, for the next few days, Iâll think of a way to send you away so that nothing happens to you.â
...
Lu Benwei nodded, thanked Qi Tianci, and went to rest.
The Three Mountains Secret Realm changed drastically and affected the outside world.
However, the officials were unaware of this and were determined to investigate.
Lu Benwei, who had come out of the Three Mountains Secret Realm, was naturally the focus of attention. He could not leave Jinmen City for the time being. Moreover, his identity would definitely be exposed to the Qi family in Dragon City. If that happened, the Qi family in Jinmen City could not escape responsibility.
Lu Benwei sighed sadly and turned over to sleep.
That night, the Jinmen City Law Enforcement Bureau came to his door and brought Lu Benwei to an interrogation room.
âName?!â
âLu Benwei!â
âProfession?!â
âStudent!â
...
âWhich school?â Two night watchmen questioned Lu Benwei.
