"Cangbei City's new Secret Realm?"
"Older Sister, you're not talking about Sky Island, are you?" Ye Ming asked.
Ye Xinxin said with some surprise, "That's right, I'm talking about Sky Island. It's said that if you're the first to clear Sky Island, you can freely choose one Fourth-Tier Fierce Beast Materials."
"I think we can go for it!"
Ye Ming was silent and did not answer.
He had actually seen the Secret Realm Sky Island online.
This is a low-level Secret Realm, and the highest Realm Vicious Beast within it is the Third-Tier Sky Wing King.
The Sky Wing King is a flying Vicious Beast, extremely agile, possesses a strong desire to attack, and its combat power is several levels higher than that of a Mechanical Tyrannosaurus.
Additionally.
Sky Island is a team Secret Realm.
To enter the Secret Realm, a three-person team must be assembled, and the Contractor's Realm in the team cannot be higher than Third-Tier.
For a team of Third-Tier Contractors to clear Sky Island is already a difficult task; to be the first to clear it is even harder.
Moreover... Ye Ming heard.
There's an SSS-Rank Saintess Contractor who appeared in Cangbei City.
She is very likely to participate in this Secret Realm to boost her reputation.
Therefore, there's a certain level of difficulty.
"Ye Ming, I think we can try."
"Since you became a Contractor, you've never encountered a formidable opponent."
"I think fighting the Sky Wing King can give you more insights."
Ying Youyou was like Ye Ming's mentor.
"Also, new Secret Realms often come with more treasures, and even the drop rate of Vicious Beasts will be much higher."
"So, go!"
"Okay, great minds think alike, let's go!"
Ye Ming immediately replied into his phone, "Older Sister, I'm going!"
"Good!"
Ye Xinxin's tone carried a hint of happiness.
"Hehe, it just so happens that our team is missing a sub-DPS. With you providing damage, I'm very relieved."
"It's decided then. I'll take you to meet your teammates in three days."
"Get some good rest these few days."
...Ye Ming slacked off at home for two days.
On a bright and sunny afternoon, Ye Ming was lying down sleeping in, when he heard a thumping sound at his door.
It sounded like someone was kicking it.
"Who is it!"
Ye Ming rubbed his eyes, somewhat impatiently opening the door to see.
Fourth Uncle Ye Zheng, dressed in military attire, was holding a box, looking at him with an extremely indifferent expression, his gaze like a lion about to devour someone!
"Fourth... Fourth Uncle?"
"Why are you here?"
Ye Ming was stunned for a moment, instinctively taking a step back.
Ye Zheng was the most serious-looking among his uncles, so he handed the box directly to Ye Ming and briefly explained,
"These are the things you asked for."
"Your Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and your aunts helped me find them."
"There are five items in total, worth tens of millions. Don't waste them."
Holy cow!
Ye Ming couldn't help but widen his eyes, looking at the box in Fourth Uncle's hand, a touch of emotion in his heart.
This is family.
He had called with a 'just in case' attitude.
Yet, in less than two days, they had already helped him acquire the Materials.
Even Third Uncle, who claimed to be broke, contributed.
And the aunts... Ye Ming was truly touched by this family atmosphere.
"Hurry up and take it!"
Ye Zheng coldly reprimanded him.
Ye Ming took the box, nodding with a grin,
"Hehe, thank you, Fourth Uncle, thank you, all uncles and aunts."
"At least you have some conscience."
Ye Zheng crossed his arms, a rare smile appearing on his usually cold face.
He pointed to the box and said to Ye Ming:
"There are five Materials in this box: one Fifth-Order Fierce Beast Materials, two Heaven And Earth Treasure, and two Fourth-Tier Materials."
"Materials useful for a Witch Contract Master are hard to find. These are the best we could collect so far."
"When I go to Third Border City this time, I'll look for better ones for you in the Outer Domain."
When Fourth Uncle Ye Zheng spoke, his tone was always flat and cold.
But he was actually a very thoughtful person.
Ye Ming caught the key information in Ye Zheng's words,
"Fourth Uncle, are you going to Third Border City again?"
"Mhm."
Ye Zheng lit a cigarette, "Tonight's flight."
"The Vicious Beasts in the Outer Domain are becoming fiercer. I must return to my team as soon as possible, otherwise, if the Vicious Beasts break through the Frontier City, it will endanger the people of Dragon Country."
Ye Ming was silent, his admiration for his Fourth Uncle growing.
He was the kind of person who carried the burden of everyone's happiness, pressing forward under heavy weight.
"Fourth Uncle, please be careful. When I grow stronger in the future, I'll go to the Outer Domain with you to kill Vicious Beasts!" Ye Ming said with a smile.
Fourth Uncle Ye Zheng was stunned for a moment, as if contemplating something, then finally patted Ye Ming's shoulder,
"Stinky brat, work hard."
"Don't let us down."
After leaving that sentence.
Ye Zheng left without looking back.
Ye Ming stood in place, recalling what Ye Zheng had said earlier,
"The Outer Domain..."
"That's a place occupied by Vicious Beasts, and also where Vicious Beasts gather and are born.
"One day, I will go and investigate it thoroughly!"
Ye Ming harbored a deep-seated hatred for these Vicious Beasts.
Ever since the Vicious Beasts descended upon Blue Star, people's lives had been filled with anxiety, fearing Vicious Beast attacks.
And Ye Ming's parents in this life had died in a Vicious Beast attack.
"Daydreaming won't make me progress at all."
"To protect what I want to protect, I must become stronger!"
Ye Ming didn't hesitate and immediately opened the box.
A chill wafted out.
Ying Youyou looked at the Materials inside the box and exclaimed excitedly,
"Fifth-Order Red Demon Horn, Fourth-Order Obsidian Snake Bone, Fourth-Order Mad Lion Bloodfang, and two Night Flowers."
"Ye Ming, these Materials might allow my recovery progress to immediately reach five percent!"
"At the very least, it'll be four percent!"
A glint flashed in Ye Ming's eyes; as expected of carefully selected and purchased Materials, the effect was excellent!
Without hesitation.
Ye Ming immediately had Ying Youyou absorb these Materials.
Black Qi flowed out from his chest, coiling around these Materials, frantically absorbing the power within them.
The next moment!
[Successfully absorbed Red Demon Horn, Obsidian Snake Bone...!]
[Qi and Blood: 200 → 210]
[Mental Energy: 200 → 210]
[Recovery Progress: 1% → 5%!!!]
"Holy crap!"
"The recovery progress actually reached five percent!"
"Youyou, does this mean you can now assist me in battle?"
Ye Ming's eyes were filled with excitement, and he quickly asked.
Ying Youyou did not answer.
But behind Ye Ming, dark power materialized, finally condensing into a pair of wings!
Changing again, the wings transformed into sharp dark tentacles, capable of easily piercing even steel!
"This is amazing."
Ye Ming's current strength was very powerful.
With Ying Youyou's assistance, his strength directly increased by a notch.
He would no longer have to worry about having no one to rely on for his back!
"Hehe, how about it, Ye Ming, am I amazing?"
Perhaps the increase in recovery progress restored Ying Youyou's confidence.
She even playfully joked.
"Amazing, amazing, worthy of being the female Devil Empress I favor."
Ye Ming gave a thumbs up in praise.
"Oh, right!"
"I almost forgot about this."
Ye Ming took out a crystal-clear, sharp-edged red flat piece from his storage ring.
This was the Vicious Beast Materials Sun Houyuan had given him.
Fifth-Order blood lizard scale!
