Chen Fan and Ye Hao, along with a few others, gathered around a fire they had made in a recessed area of a cliff.
Some were cooking soup, while others were roasting meat.
Shen Daodao and Li Fengxing were slacking off, hiding nearby, whispering something mysterious to each other.
The place they were sitting was quite high, about ten meters above the ground, with a wide view and the cliff to lean against.
Whether it was near or far, as long as any monster approached, they would spot it immediately.
The Dark-blood Stone Golem and Elder Ape each sat on the left and right of the cliff, quietly guarding the entrance like two door gods.
Atop the two protruding stones on the cliff, Fang Qingqing’s Silvermoon Green Feather Bird and Chu Xuan’s Desert Wind Falcon each stood watch.
Little Black was staring at the meat roasting over the fire, drooling.
Chen Fan had Feicui perched on his head, cradled Snowy in his arms, with Gangzi lying beside his legs, and was roasting meat with Shen Hongxiu and several others.
He glanced at the time on his smart wristwatch.
It was already nine in the evening.
This Secret Realm was indeed strange…
There was no sun, no moon, yet there were still day and night.
Moreover, the duration of day and night was consistent with the outside world.
Where did the light come from?
And what was the deal with the night?
There were too many mysteries in this world.
But considering that all types of monsters could fly and burrow, and that even Snowy, who had come with them, could breathe lightning, many oddities no longer surprising.
However, Chen Fan had checked numerous sources but still could not figure out what the Secret Realm and Restricted Areas were all about.
There were rumors online that these Secret Realms or Restricted Areas, big and small, were actually fissures connecting different worlds to Blue Star.
Perhaps some Secret Realms or Restricted Areas were connected to the same different world.
Or maybe each Secret Realm or Restricted Area was connected to a different world.
Entering certain Secret Realms or Restricted Areas might allow one to access other worlds through them.
But rumors were just rumors.
It seemed that no one had ever entered a different world through a Secret Realm or Restricted Area and successfully returned.
Or perhaps someone had succeeded, but it was never made public.
Among these countless Secret Realms or Restricted Areas, were there one or two that connected to Earth?
But Earth had no such monsters or such abundant natural energy.
Suddenly…
Chen Fan thought of something and was startled!
In modern Earth society, indeed, none of these flying and burrowing monsters had been seen.
But what about the legends and myths from hundreds and thousands of years ago?
The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, Red Bird… What about these legendary Divine Beasts?
Did they just appear out of nowhere?
What about the various mythical creatures and monsters in the Classic of Mountains and Seas?
Flying through the sky, burrowing underground, breathing fire, and shattering mountains with a single punch…
Wouldn’t these creatures be considered powerful Guardian Beasts on Blue Star?
If Earth never had such creatures, why would there be so many legends passed down from generation to generation?
Chen Fan felt as if he’d grasped something, but also as if he hadn’t grasped anything.
He sighed and pulled his thoughts back.
He couldn’t return to that world after all.
There are so many Secret Realms and Restricted Areas. Even if one of them connected to Earth, what were the odds that he would find it?
Even if he found it. he might not necessarily be able to go there.
For example, what worlds were connected to this 2nd Secret Realm?
Who could enter other worlds through this 2nd Secret Realm?
Chen Fan thought about his life on Earth and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
He was just an orphan raised in an orphanage, not even knowing what his parents looked like, with no family there.
The two people he cared about in that world…
One was the old dean of the orphanage, who had taken care of him like a grandfather since childhood.
The other was the little sister who had followed him since childhood, calling him her brother, for whom Chen Fan had fought with wild dogs several times. The old dean had retired for many years and had children to take care of him.
As for the little sister, she had disappeared suddenly when he was eight.
The old dean told him that the sister had been adopted, taken to a faraway place, and lived happily.
He hoped they were healthy, happy, and lucky…
Chen Fan looked at the dark night sky and suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.
“What’s wrong?”
Shen Hongxiu moved closer to Chen Fan and whispered, “Why do you look so worried?”
The others who were roasting meat also looked up.
Chen Fan shook his head slightly: “Nothing, just thinking about some past memories…”
At that moment, the Goblin brought a cup of coffee: “Mr. Chen Fan, you must be tired. Have some coffee.
Chen Fan:
Everyone:
Then, Chen Fan and Chu Xuan, along with the others, all looked towards Fang Qingqing.
Fang Qingqing’s face turned slightly red.
It wasn’t her who had Xiaobu make the coffee. She didn’t even know Xiaobu had suddenly decided to please Chen Fan.
Chen Fan took the coffee and glanced at the Goblin: “You didn’t poison the coffee, did you?”
Everyone:
The Goblin’s eyes widened: “Oh my god, Mr. Chen Fan, you’re still so humorous… You’re like a god in my mind, how could I do such a thing!”
That was a bit of an exaggeration, Qingqing’s Goblin was really shameless… Everyone looked disdainfully at the Goblin.
Fang Qingqing’s face turned even redder, wishing she could find a fissure to hide in.
“Huh, it actually tastes pretty good!”
Chen Fan took a sip of the coffee, and his eyes lit up: “I didn’t expect you, a green-skinned dwarf, to not only be good at making bombs but also at making coffee!”
