Chapter 435: Steamer World

Looking at the world outside the Cordyceps Jade Seal, both Nicholas and Bai Qi had joy in their eyes.

However, Nicholas was obviously more excited.

Originally, Cordyceps had merged with the blood of the Green Dragon, so Nicholas had an inexplicable sense of familiarity with Cordyceps. Now that Cordyceps had comprehended the Emerald Mark, in Nicholas' eyes, even if it did not look like the Emerald Dragon, it was already a Green Dragon.

"Oh, right, we entered here as souls. If we go out now, will we be unable to return to our bodies?"

After the excitement passed, Bai Qi thought of another question.

"No, I am only a spirit now. Leaving the dream is just like waking up from it. "

Nicholas shook his head, opened an exit and went out. Then Bai Qi saw a huge dragon head approaching the entrance opened by Cordyceps and beckoning them to go out.

Seeing that no accidents would occur, Bai Qi left the Emerald Dream with peace of mind and returned to his body.

"Bai Qi, what on earth did you guys do just now? Why were you awake and asleep at the same time? And that place just now..."

Seeing that Bai Qi and others had finally come to their senses, Bai Qiucha could no longer bear it and asked about his doubts.

"Strictly speaking, it was just a dream."

Bai Qi simply told Bai Qiucha what had happened just now. Bai Qiucha finally understood and felt it was a pity.

"If I had known this, I would not have resisted. Otherwise, I could have gone to see the legendary Emerald Dream."

"It's okay, there will be a chance to go in soon."

Bai Qi grinned, and the idea in his mind gradually took shape.

"By the way, is the teleportation array still there?"

“Still.”

Bai Qiucha nodded and said, "But, Bai Qi, wouldn't it be better for you to rest for a while before going in?"

The gatekeeper of the fourth floor is already at the emperor level. It is conceivable that there is a high probability that there are emperor-level creatures in the fifth floor as well.

Although Nicholas could be relied upon to defeat the enemy, this would completely defeat the purpose of the training, and there was also the risk of triggering the countermeasure mechanism of the Dusk Tomb.

"It's okay, let's go check it out first."

Bai Qi picked up the teleportation rune on the ground, sensed it carefully, and then led the six pets towards the teleportation array.

I finally collected all the teleportation runes and opened the teleportation array. I would feel uncomfortable if I didn't even take a look at it.

Anyway, I have the teleportation rune, so if I can’t beat them, I can just run away.

Seeing Bai Qi's behavior, Bai Qiucha felt helpless and could only follow him.

"How can I not go? It's so boring here."

The cowhide snake, which had just woken up, raised its head reluctantly when it saw the actions of Bai Qi and the others.

"I almost forgot about you."

Bai Qi remembered it after hearing this, and ran to the cowhide snake and looked at it carefully.

"You were clearly sleeping just now, so why didn't I see you enter a dream?"

"Dream? I never dream."

The cowhide snake looked at Bai Qi innocently, and Bai Qi then remembered what Grandma Fan had said about the cowhide snake.

"Is there really a creature that can live without a soul?"

Because of the bonus from the Emerald Dream, Bai Qi's desire to explore was particularly strong, and he once again thought about studying the cow-skin snake. However, thinking of the current environment, he suppressed his desire for the time being.

Anyway, this guy can't run away, so let's talk about it when we have time.

Bai Qi threw the cowhide snake back to Nicholas, turned around and stepped into the teleportation array.

Then, the moment he was teleported out, Bai Qi felt a burning breath coming towards him, and the strong feeling of suffocation almost made him faint.

Fortunately, Gamma protected Bai Qi in the first place, and Bai Qiucha also quickly went into armed status.

"This fifth floor is really a place where no one is allowed to approach."

Feeling the terrifyingly high temperature around him that was comparable to that of the fire elemental world, Bai Qi couldn't help but recall some bad memories.

"The temperature here is so high, the enemies should be some undead with fire attributes, right?"

Bai Qiucha looked around but found no trace of the enemy.

"If I'm not mistaken, the fire-attributed undead in the Ice and Fire Twin Towers should have been captured from here."

Looking at the hot air rising around him, Bai Qi quickly thought of the Twin Towers.

Since the Emperor of Law arranged a fireman on the fourth floor, he must have come to sweep the fifth floor as well, and maybe even grabbed some materials from here.

However, there is clearly no flame in this place, but the temperature is so high, just like a steamer, which is really weird.

"Jeta, let's lower the temperature around here first. This temperature is affecting our combat effectiveness."

Bai Qi glanced at the Husky who had hidden under the ether armor, then turned to look at Jetta.

Snoring

(I know~)

Jetta nodded obediently and blew gently around. A blizzard suddenly blew up on the fifth floor, instantly freezing the area within dozens of meters around Bai Qi.

"Sure enough, Contract Jetta is absolutely correct."

Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this. Even if one ignores Jetta 's mythical bloodline, this ice attribute ability is indeed very convenient.

At least, it can play a huge role in this environment.

However, before Bai Qi and others could take any action , the ice created by Jetta began to melt and evaporate at a speed visible to the naked eye, almost burning them.

“Is the temperature so high?”

Bai Qi frowned slightly. Although Jetta's combat power becomes stronger as his later forms progress, this does not mean that Jetta's ice ability is weaker.

Whether it is the passive skill Ice Contract or the active skill Blizzard, they are both super skills. How could they be evaporated so easily?

"The temperature here is a little abnormally high. I suggest you don't stay for long."

Shuke carefully examined the surrounding environment and put forward his suggestions very seriously.

"If we fight for a long time in this environment, it will be easy for us to fall into a passive position."

Hearing Shuke's words, Bai Qi fell silent.

Indeed, even Jetta was unable to lower the temperature around them. It would be fine if the gatekeeper of the fifth secret realm appeared soon, but if it dragged on for too long, both the pets and them would probably not be able to bear the physical strain.

"Let's explore the area first, get a general understanding of the situation, and then go back. What do you think, A-Cha?"

Bai Qi thought for a moment and made a suggestion.

"Okay, let's collect some information so that we won't be so passive next time."

Bai Qiucha nodded. Since they were already here, just leaving would be of no help to their next exploration. It would be better to collect some useful information first so that they could make targeted preparations next time.

The two men agreed and continued on their journey, while Nicholas transformed into a human form and followed behind them.

This temperature had basically no effect on him, and it was easy for him to help Bai Qi and others relieve the pressure. However, Bai Qi said that they should not take action unless it was a life-and-death crisis.

Unless the Nightmare Apostle was seeking death on his own initiative like what happened just now, he would not act rashly.

Compared to the fourth floor with its crooked roads and pitch-black caves, the fifth floor is almost flat without any terrain undulations.

But even so, Bai Qi and his companions still couldn't see even half of the monster's trace.

The only thing it has is heat.

As hot as a steamer.

"There's nothing on the ground. Could it be underground?"

Bai Qi walked for a long time but still couldn't find the monster. He patted Delta and Delta transformed into Tyrannosaurus Rex. The earth trembled and instantly tore the surrounding ground apart. Streams of hot air surged out from the cracks, scaring Bai Qi and others into a panic.

But even so, no enemy appeared.

“Isn’t this fifth floor an uninhabited area?”

Bai Qi was puzzled. This situation had been mentioned during the training camp. Some secret realms had gone through too much time, and if their original structures were too complicated, certain aspects of the secret realm would be left unattended.

If it were a trial-type secret realm, encountering this situation would definitely be a huge loss for the challenger, but if it was an exploration-type one, it would be a huge profit.

Considering that the Emperor of Law had been here before and the seemingly endless water and fire ghosts in the twin towers, Bai Qi had every reason to suspect that this place had been swept by the Emperor of Law.

“Those who planted the trees will enjoy the shade. Although there are no more challenges, it’s not bad to be able to go directly to the next level.”

Bai Qi grinned. Without a gatekeeper, they only needed to find the teleportation array to enter the next level directly.

Ahhhh!

(Human, there seems to be something ahead!)

At this moment, Beta suddenly sounded the alarm, and everyone immediately entered combat mode, looking around vigilantly.

After waiting for a long time, Bai Qi and his companions still did not see any enemy appear.

"Is it an enemy that can turn invisible or burrow underground?"

Bai Qi did not doubt Beta's perception ability, and after a brief pause, Alpha swung the Sword of Death, and rays of death sword energy flew out in a circle around him.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Accompanied by a series of crisp sounds, the death sword energy not far in front of Bai Qi was blocked by something. Then Bai Qi saw that the "earth" in front of him actually stood up and stared at several people with a pair of fiery red eyes.

"This is the Gatekeeper?"

Bai Qi was stunned when he saw this. Before he could figure out the enemy's level, Nicholas took the lead and stopped him , saying: "This guy is a legendary creature!"

"Legendary creature? Can we still play this?"

Bai Qi was stunned. No wonder the teacher told him to just play on the first three floors and not to venture onto the later floors.

This is not an adventure at all, it's clearly asking for trouble!

"Do you want me to take action this time?"

Seeing Bai Qi's irritable look, Nicholas volunteered to show off.

After training with Aletta for so long, he also wants to perform well.

"Forget it. Even if we defeat this level, you will probably still have to take charge of the next level. That's pointless."

Bai Qi shook his head, looked at Bai Qiucha and prepared to leave.

"Human boy, don't be in a hurry to leave."

At this moment, the fire man suddenly appeared above the huge fire tiger and stopped Bai Qi.

"Assistant Fadi, why are you here? And you are standing on that legendary creature?"

Bai Qi was stunned for a moment, and then a bold idea flashed through his mind.
