Chapter 391: Chapter 391: Leave Without a Trace

But if I just leave like this.

It won’t be easy to explain to Ye Xiuluo.

Before the real official personnel arrive.

Ye Xuan can only keep pretending.

Because previously Ye Xuan took away the sacrificial gem that Wan Country School wanted the most.

The two parties have developed an enmity invisibly.

If Ye Xuan just walks away now.

Ye Xiuluo will inevitably become suspicious and investigate Ye Xuan.

And the announcement of Ye Xuan clearing Goka Village instance solo as a king-tier mage.

Is still remembered by people now.

So, with just a little investigation, Ye Xiuluo would understand what happened.

And know that Ye Xuan, whom she thought was an official person, was actually a fake.

What kind of retaliation Wan Country School would take against Ye Xuan afterwards.

Ye Xuan could figure it out without even thinking hard.

"What’s wrong?"

Seeing Ye Xuan standing there in a daze, Ye Xiuluo thought he was still dwelling on her recent attack.

So she said: "If you’re still holding a grudge about my sudden strike, then I’ll stand still here, and let you hit back..."

At this point, Ye Xuan was thoroughly convinced.

This campus director named Ye Xiuluo is simply a straightforward woman.

No wonder she switched to the occupation of Berserker, with brawn over brain.

Ye Xiuluo stripped off her equipment one by one.

Revealing her slender figure in a tight-fitting black bodysuit.

It must be said that Ye Xiuluo not only has a beautiful face.

Her figure is also very alluring.

The black bodysuit even perfectly accentuates her sculpted abs.

"To show my sincerity, I’ll take one attack from you without my equipment, and I won’t have any complaints afterwards, does that work for you?"

After saying this, Ye Xiuluo turned her back, exposing all her vulnerabilities to Ye Xuan without reservation.

At this moment, even Ye Xuan almost couldn’t resist taking action.

This is a secret realm, and they had just experienced a lord mutation.

In theory, apart from him and Ye Xiuluo, no one knows what happened in the secret realm.

Which means, Ye Xuan could completely kill her here and then walk away.

Nobody would retaliate against him afterward.

Ye Xuan had both the strength and reason to do so.

He lifted the Dark Wand, with lightning and fire elements continuously condensing around his left and right hands...

In the end, Ye Xuan still could not bring himself to do it.

Not because he suddenly developed a conscience.

But because upon weighing the pros and cons carefully, he realized keeping Ye Xiuluo alive would bring him greater benefits.

Just like this time, after encountering Tang Xuerou again, he didn’t immediately demand the reward for the hidden mission from last time.

The principle of letting out a long line to catch a big fish is always etched into his mind.

And he has always been very patient.

"Forget it, I’m not as petty as you think; I was thinking about other things just now," Ye Xuan said coldly.

But Ye Xiuluo let out a long sigh of relief.

From the moment Ye Xuan killed the Soul Devouring Xuan Serpent,

Ye Xiuluo knew that the damage of this strange Mage couldn’t be low.

Moreover, she had just taken two solid strikes of his lightning.

It forced out her own self-healing.

Therefore, if Ye Xuan really cripples Ye Xiuluo again right now.

Ye Xiuluo would truly have no means to counter.

She could only call the members of Wan Country School to her rescue after Ye Xuan leaves.

After properly donning her equipment again.

Ye Xiuluo regained her previous composure and asked seriously, "What were you thinking just now? Was it a clue about the boss mutation?"

Ye Xuan nodded slightly.

Then he asked, "According to your knowledge, how many times have mutations of this scale occurred?"

Ye Xiuluo thought for a moment, then replied, "According to historical records and the information I’ve heard from some of the elders at Wan Country School, the frequency of boss mutations began to plummet with the start of the expedition fifteen years ago.

In recent years, it has even dropped to around 5%... so theoretically, for a secret realm like the East Sea where one is under level 30 and still at the novice stage, the possibility of a mutation occurring is nearly zero!"

As the director of Wan Country School, Ye Xiuluo’s words held considerable reliability.

Even though Ye Xuan is not an official figure at this point, he still wanted to investigate the true cause of the Gigantic Turtle Black Dragon’s mutation.

After all, if the truth wasn’t uncovered, then in the future, when bringing He Yalan to tackle instances, a mutated boss or overlord might suddenly pop up.

Who could deal with that?

Thinking this, Ye Xuan forcefully gathered his spirit and started walking towards the direction of the East Sea.

The East Sea secret realm naturally encompasses this vast expanse of the East Sea before them.

And at this moment, the lake water has been completely evaporated by Ye Xuan’s Flame Orb Technique.

The exposed soil on the riverbed even showed large patches of cracked marks.

These phenomena also indicated just how high the temperature of Ye Xuan’s Flame Orb Technique was.

A dozen Flame Orb Techniques actually managed to completely change the environment within a secret realm.

Ye Xuan looked around and soon found an unusual place.

Only to see, not far north of Ye Xuan.

There was a raised mound of earth.

Although it was mixed with numerous other small islands.

Ye Xuan still immediately noticed something unusual about this mound.

The reason was none other.

Close to the bottom of the mound, there was a dark hole about as high as half a person.

Ye Xiuluo, who had been following behind Ye Xuan, also looked in the direction he was gazing.

She also discovered this peculiar cave.

She then asked, "This is...?"

Based on his recent experience fighting with the Soul Devouring Mystic Serpent and from its emergence location, Ye Xuan casually replied, "This is most likely the lair of the hidden monster, the Soul Devouring Mystic Serpent."

Hidden monsters always come with their own territory.

Although they can’t form a separate space like Dragon King Hades,

it’s still within the Soul Devouring Mystic Serpent’s ability to slightly alter some terrain within the secret realm.

Driven by an inexplicable curiosity, Ye Xuan and Ye Xiuluo walked towards the lair of the Soul Devouring Mystic Serpent.

However, upon drawing closer, the prompt that popped up in the bottom right corner shocked them both.

[Detecting careerist triggering the hell-level East Sea secret realm entrance]

[Hell-level secret realm is recommended for a party of over thirty people, detecting only one person present, danger level: near certain death. Entrance permission not granted until sufficient numbers are present.]

"Hell-level difficulty?"

Ye Xiuluo covered her mouth, almost exclaiming in surprise.

"What’s the matter? Is hell-level difficulty rare?"

Ye Xuan asked, perplexed.

According to what he had learned from the books,

hell-level difficulty, though not commonly seen in later stage instances,

does still exist.

Although the requirements to enter the instance are strict,

the rewards on the other hand, are several times richer than that of king-level difficulty.
