Chapter 651: Chapter 229: The Era of Beast Mastery 2.0 (Vote for Monthly Ticket)_2

“There are such rules…” Qin Yunzhang began taking notes with interest, “This secret realm is quite intriguing.”

“People who enter might be randomly teleported to various locations within the secret realm?” Shen Yunshan raised his eyebrows slightly, “Then how do they get out?”

“We can clearly see the entrance and exit from here, and it’s the same within the secret realm,” Lin Su replied quickly.

Shen Yunshan gave a small nod and fell into deep thought.

Soon, he made a decision.

“Dispatch a hundred combat personnel to enter and explore first,” Shen Yunshan thought for a moment, then continued, “Have them bring communication devices and mapping instruments, and see if technological items can be used inside the secret realm.”

“If technological items can be used, have them map out the terrain of the secret realm with the mapping instruments before we make further plans.”

“Understood, President!” A secretary of the meeting stood up, ready to leave the meeting room to make arrangements.

“Wait a moment,” Lin Su spoke up promptly upon seeing this, “Can I be one of those hundred people?”

This secret realm was very likely to be beneficial to him; how much would he lose if he couldn’t enter?

“Researcher Lin, are you sure you want to go in now?” Shen Yunshan frowned slightly, “Although we believe your claim that there are no dangers in the secret realm, everything is still unknown.”

“Wait until the exploration troops complete the initial exploration, then we’ll arrange for you to enter.”

“I’m sure,” Lin Su nodded earnestly, “if I’m not mistaken, the combat personnel designated for exploration should all be Master-level Beast Tamers, right? I’m also a Master-level Beast Tamer, and I have an Emperor-class pet beast; if they are fit for exploration duties, so am I.”

“Moreover, after entering, I’ll be able to immediately discern the level of the secret realm.”

This was a newly formed secret realm, surely containing some aspects different from the normal: for instance, the emergence of more resources…

Therefore, entering at the earliest possible moment was his chance to get ahead of others; if he were to wait until the exploration troops had gone in, the opportunity would have long passed.

The last statement from Lin Su quickly tipped the balance in Shen Yunshan’s mind.

A hint of interest appeared on the faces of everyone in the room.

Being able to determine the level of the secret realm on the spot would surely aid the exploration efforts and subsequent planning for the secret realm.

“Then I’ll go in as well,” Qin Nan, who had been silent, suddenly said, “I’m at the Hall-level, so if there’s any danger after entering, I can bring Lin Su out immediately.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Yunshan turned to look at Qin Yunzhang.

Qin Yunzhang, seeing his granddaughter’s eager expression, wasn’t surprised.

Protecting Lin Su was a secondary reason; her primary motive was her own desire to see the secret realm.

As a fellow researcher, he understood his granddaughter’s excitement.

If it weren’t for his special status, others would definitely not allow him to enter the realm first, and Qin Yunzhang would have already volunteered himself.

Therefore, without much hesitation, he nodded promptly.

Seeing Qin Yunzhang nod, Shen Yunshan responded with a slight nod, “Then it’s settled. You two prepare yourselves and join the other explorers. Be sure to prioritize safety.”

“Yes!”

…

The Alliance’s live broadcast room.

After the initial anomaly, the audience in the broadcast room gradually calmed down.

The mouth of the cave was on full alert, while the other side remained completely quiet.

As time passed, everyone’s nerves eased from the initial tension.

However, they remained very curious about the reason for the appearance of the entrance and the situation inside it.

The chat was filled with various discussions and conjectures.

[Pyromancer*Faraway: Twenty minutes without any movement, is the live feed frozen?]

[Collector of Cherry Blossoms*Hikaru: Don’t joke, didn’t they send a detection robot to the other side of the cave earlier?]

[Remembering the Void: Why is there no sign of life on the other side of the cave, could it be that there are no creatures?]

[Fishing for Books: Improbable. I think they might just not have noticed the entrance yet.]

[…]

“He Elder, it’s been almost twenty minutes since the cave entrance opened. Will the Alliance take any action now?” Song Luo couldn’t help but ask.

It was certainly surprising that the Alliance’s most powerful forces had been guarding the air for twenty minutes after such a grand start.

“To my knowledge, the Beast Tamers Association headquarters immediately convened a strategy meeting,” He Qingyang’s brow furrowed slightly, “It’s unusual to not have a corresponding strategy after twenty minutes, given how efficient the Association is known to be.”

“Does this indicate that there is some disagreement within the Association on how to handle the current situation?” Song Luo chose his words carefully, asking tentatively.

“The current situation isn’t difficult to analyze,” He Qingyang shook his head slightly, “Everyone should have noticed that right from the start, we sent a small detection robot to the other side of the cave.”

“However, the robot lost contact the moment it entered the other side,” He Qingyang said with a slight gravity in his expression, “So we have no choice but to send in exploration personnel to investigate.”

“Such a decision isn’t difficult for the Association to make, so there must be another reason for such a prolonged delay,” He Qingyang stated emphatically, “No need for concern, we will receive information as soon as the Beast Tamers Association makes a decision and will inform everyone immediately.”
