Beast Taming: Abyssal Descent
Chapter 533 - 391: Information on the Secret Realm [Civilization’s Wound] (Part 2)
The headmaster of the Dragon Academy explored the state of the Ancient Tree, then walked over to Mo Qingchen and said.
"What’s the matter? Just say it straight, I’ll help if I can."
This old man had given him a lot of good things and had just backed him up in front of the Empire, never setting him up, so this favor had to be recognized.
"Do you still remember the newbie Trial Dungeon you entered during the entrance exams?"
"You mean [Civilization’s Wound]?"
Mo Qingchen immediately understood which dungeon the headmaster was talking about.
That Trial Dungeon back then had made him deeply realize the importance of staying alive.
Especially after seeing the overpowered terrifying Exotic Beast in the dungeon through the miniature Insect Detector made by Grey Wolf.
The monstrous Silver Cannibal Tree had its roots directly wrapping around the outer walls of the Twin Towers.
If they hadn’t escaped so quickly back then, they would have been captured and become food for the giant silver tree.
Remembering the Silver Cannibal Tree seen through the miniature Insect Detector back then, Mo Qingchen still felt a bit of a psychological shadow now.
"Yes, the original newbie Trial Dungeon [Civilization’s Wound] was supposed to disappear after the trial ended, but a few days ago an Abyssal Rift appeared within the Tianshan Mountains. The military confirmed after investigation that behind the Abyssal Rift lies the [Civilization’s Wound] Secret Realm!"
The headmaster of the Dragon Academy spoke while pressing on the Smart Bracelet on his wrist, projecting a light screen in front of the three of them.
The light screen displayed information transmitted by the military, including several videos of the exploratory missions within this secret world.
"These are the exploration results. The actual size of this dungeon is unknown for now, but exploration confirmed certain areas, including the ruined city you first entered—Red Mist City."
The headmaster of the Dragon Academy tapped a video file on the light screen at random.
The light screen opened a video showing a city of ruins covered by a red mist.
The dense red mist enveloped the entire city, with only the tall buildings protruding from it, alongside some mutated trees.
Mo Qingchen looked at the somewhat familiar scene, and memories from back then quickly resurfaced in his mind.
Especially in the footage of the city, he even saw that Twin Towers he had once stayed in!
Moreover, the external walls of the Twin Towers had also become pockmarked, with something having shattered most of the glass panels, making the contents of the building clearly visible.
Thinking back, from the base of the building, countless roots had spread upward like a spider web, covering the two towers and finally sealing the top.
Mo Qingchen narrowed his eyes, becoming very interested in this Twin Towers or rather the underground laboratory within the building and the Silver Cannibal Tree inside the lab back then.
Understand that, in this Secret Realm called [Civilization’s Wound], the dwarf alien race that built the cities had incredibly advanced technological civilization.
At least they were several levels ahead of the current Empire in technology.
If he could re-enter and obtain the technological database of this civilization, elevating the Empire would become much easier.
"Headmaster Dragon, what do I need to do to enter this Secret Realm again?"
Having made his decision, Mo Qingchen directly queried the headmaster.
"I knew you would be interested. In two days, you can follow Iron Block to re-enter the [Civilization’s Wound] Secret Realm. But be cautious, as everything inside is unknown, and there will definitely be many dangers."
Originally, only textual information about [Civilization’s Wound] could be obtained, with no detailed situation accessible inside the Secret Realm.
Although much useful information was gathered from those who studied for their entrance exams back then, their understanding of this Secret Realm is still too limited.
For a new Secret Realm, the Empire naturally needs to send people in for exploration and pioneering.
As the foremost academy of the Empire, Yanhuang Academy, filled with geniuses, naturally also has pioneer slots.
These slots are not rare, and even other academies participate, but most academies do not send their students for such pioneering tasks.
Pioneering means the unknown, a high likelihood of encountering danger, and causing casualties.
Only a few top-ranking academies send their High Tier Beastmaster apprentices in for exploration to gain benefits.
Given Mo Qingchen’s current strength, although he now remains an Intermediate Tier Six Beastmaster, his combat capability is definitely not limited to that!
The Six-winged Purple Centipede was a proper Tier Nine Exotic Beast spun around by this guy, eventually falling into the academy’s hands.
Coupled with Mo Qingchen’s dimension-crossing experiences, his survival ability is definitely first-class among first-class.
Moreover, this kid has entered [Civilization’s Wound] before, giving him far more familiarity with this Secret Realm than ordinary pioneers.
"Thank you, Headmaster Dragon."
After thanking the headmaster, Mo Qingchen escorted the two deans around the experiment base, even showing them some experimental data outcomes.
Only at afternoon’s end did he send the two deans off.
At that moment, Mo Qingchen promptly headed to Grey Wolf’s laboratory.
"Grey Wolf, do you remember the Trial Dungeon you just came through?"
"Uh, the one filled with red Poisonous Fog, mutated deformed mechanical monsters, and the mysterious man-eating tree in the dungeon world? Why?"
Grey Wolf glanced up, continuing to adjust the reagent in his hand without pausing.
"That’s right. The Empire discovered the [Civilization’s Wound] Secret Realm. I’m planning to enter it—perhaps I can acquire that civilization’s various technological data."
Mo Qingchen dragged a chair over and sat down to speak.
Grey Wolf paused, interest flashing across his lupine face. He then set the reagent aside and turned around to join Mo Qingchen.
"[Wolf King] and [Space Cruise Ship] were rewards from that Trial Dungeon back then, along with Smart Bracelets and other technological creations. This demonstrates that the race inside [Civilization’s Wound] possesses extremely powerful technological skills. If we could obtain their technological database, why would we need to laboriously research all sorts of messy things?"
Thinking of this, Grey Wolf’s eyes burned with enthusiasm.
Although he is indeed a great inventor, every invention requires adhering to certain scientific principles; not everything can be conjured from nothing.
And Grey Wolf isn’t omnipotent—there are still many things foreign to him.
If he could inherit a powerful civilization’s technological database, he would immediately gain all sorts of foundational scientific knowledge!
In their possession are [Memory Bread] acquired through trade with Doraemon. This thing can directly integrate the consumed knowledge thoroughly!
As for ingesting too much knowledge at once leading to mental overload, neuronal meltdown, becoming a vegetable, or dying.
Grey Wolf remarked he wasn’t fazed—what’s a little death?
Who hasn’t died a few times in the lab or from overtime?
The mighty Wolf King fears no hardship, healthier the more they die!
Seeing Grey Wolf’s enthusiasm surpass his own, Mo Qingchen’s mouth curled into a smile.
When he wasn’t strong enough back then, he was so spooked by the Silver Cannibal Tree he fled screeching, devoid of the courage to glance back.
But now, he was far stronger, and the combat power of his contracted Guardian Beasts had soared through several layers, able to stand up to even Super Tier Nine Exotic Beasts for a fight.
How could he not capture that Silver Cannibal Tree for research as recompense for his once-pounding heart?
