Chapter 2372 The Unopenable Entrance to the Secret Realm
Within the mist, the blessed pool did not glow. But all the information pointed to it as the entrance to a secret realm, and Mother Earth wanted to give it a try.
Could it be that the enemy used some method to conceal the aura of the secret realm?
"Blood."
The Cyclops brought over a bulging leather bag and poured it into the pool.
The blood gushed out, thick and sticky, from the earth dragon.
The pool was filled halfway with water. The stone man gestured to the Cyclops, who then casually grabbed the wolf demon beside him and threw it into the pool.
"Thump!" The wolf demon was splattered with blood and looked quite disheveled.
But it immediately got up, shook itself—and stood in the pool.
After observing for more than ten breaths, the wolf demon neither disappeared nor sank. So the Earth Mother said to the Bear King, "Give me some blood, yours."
The last two characters were added by the Earth Mother when she saw the Violent Bear King looking around, seemingly wanting to capture another monster to bleed him.
The bear king had no choice but to bite its own paw and squeeze out a dozen drops of blood into the pool.
At the same time, the stone man jumped to the edge of the pool and stomped his leg a dozen times.
Its rhythm is sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and most people who don't know it would think it's dancing, even its movements are a bit graceful.
It didn't use much force, but it caused an unusually profound tremor. Unseen ripples surged rapidly back and forth in and around the Fuchi Pond at a strange frequency, forming a large net of ripples in the eyes of Mother Earth.
It stays in the center of this large web like a spider, able to catch any abnormality.
If there's an entrance to a secret realm nearby, even if it's currently closed, it will cause an anomaly in the shockwaves, thus revealing its true location. This is because the connection between the two worlds isn't smooth, even when they intersect in a virtual world.
Sure enough, the echo was a little uneven.
Several echoes came in succession, allowing Mother Earth to confirm the location of the anomaly.
"Here it is!" The little stone man jumped off the bear king's shoulder and landed in the pool, already more than ten feet tall. It slammed its paw into the bottom of the pool, splashing blood everywhere.
Sure enough, it was still in this pool. The opponent was cunning, using water to conceal the unusual fluctuations.
But this couldn't escape its senses!
Not only the Heavenly Demons who were fighting outside the city, but also the Sihai Zhenren and others were distracted by the Earth Mother's movements. When they saw her suddenly jump into the pool, they were all very nervous.
Is the Panlong Secret Realm about to open again?
Everyone made their own preparations.
However, after the Earth Mother reached into the pool and rummaged around for a long time, nothing unusual happened.
It refused to believe it and struck the bottom of the pool again.
Bang! This time, the noise was much louder.
But nothing happened.
Xi Yu, who entered Panlong Ancient City via the Heavenly Ladder, happened to witness this scene and couldn't help but ask his brother through his mind: "Is it unable to find the entrance to the secret realm?"
"Ah."
Xi Yu cursed, "You always call others trash, but you don't even look at yourself!"
Wu Yao said, "The Earth Mother's abilities are not limited to this. Give her some time."
"whispering sound!"
At this moment, the Earth Mother's clone emerged from the pool. If its face could express emotions, it would be furious right now.
The shockwave did indeed indicate that something was amiss here.
It had encountered unusual ruins before, where the well-known entrances would be moved elsewhere and concealed using illusions. That's why it specifically used shockwaves this time. It can ignore the obstruction of illusions and directly mark the anomalous location.
However, after careful inspection, Mother Earth found that it was just an ordinary pool of water and was not connected to the secret realm.
Why are the results of its various supernatural ability tests contradictory?
Or perhaps the entrance to this secret realm was concealed using multiple methods, making it impossible to find a crack in the door?
While it was pondering, two more teams of demon soldiers unearthed the object at the glowing spot and eagerly delivered it over.
A comb.
A tile.
Obviously, those two places are not the entrance either.
The Earth Mother suppressed her anger and comforted herself:
Okay, at least we've ruled out two more suspicious locations, so we're getting closer to the real entrance.
At this moment, Xi Yu's words also reached its ears through the stone man's clone: "Earth Mother, how much longer are you going to search? Our time is precious, we can't just let you jump into the pool to play."
Despite his brother's reminder, he couldn't bring himself to utter those few sarcastic remarks; otherwise, he would feel disgruntled.
The Earth Mother was completely absorbed in thought and paid no attention to Him.
The Bear King said in a deep voice, "Perhaps only certain people can open the door and go in."
"Nonsense!" Mother Earth said irritably. "Then go to the capital of Shen and bring King Shen here to me!"
"Uh!" The Bear King opened his mouth, it seemed like it wasn't impossible, but wasn't it a bit too late?
Mother Earth stomped her feet a few more times, but this time the echo localization could not detect any anomalies in Fuchi.
"What does this mean?" Mother Earth pondered. "Even the slightest trace connecting the secret realm and reality has been erased?"
"In other words, the entrance to the secret realm located in the Blessed Pool has been completely and permanently closed. But this must have happened recently, which is why I was able to detect the aftershocks a few times before."
"Too many people already know about this entrance. Is the person behind it afraid I'll uncover it, so they're planning to open another one? This doesn't make sense!" the Earth Mother murmured. "The entrance to the secret realm shouldn't be able to be changed so easily, not to mention, why would living beings be able to manipulate it?"
This ruin is getting stranger and stranger.
But Mother Earth becomes even more excited. The more capable the prey is, and the more fiercely it struggles, the greater the benefit to Mother Earth.
The Bear King stammered, "Then...then now?"
"The secret realm must have another entrance."
Who says every secret realm only has one entrance? If one is closed, there might be a second or third, it's just that no one discovered them before.
Mother Earth turned her head to look at the remaining glowing points.
It should be right here. No wonder the people behind it are trying to confuse the issue.

Panlong Secret Realm.
Seeing the stone bridge built by the Earth Mother collapse five or six times in a row, Aunt Zhu was not excited, but instead became even more solemn:
"At this height, it probably won't be able to stop it."
Then, it and He Lingchuan saw Qing Tu Gui stand up and build a floating bridge.
The demon soldiers of Yujing City finally crossed the natural barrier and arrived at the Chipa Plateau. They peeked around in front of the gate of Panlong Ancient City for a while before sneaking in to investigate.
"Hopefully our arrangements can buy them a little more time."
Just then, the ground trembled slightly again, this time in bursts, like pulses.
The cave spider queen, who was particularly sensitive to tremors, immediately asked, "What's wrong now?"
He Lingchuan did not answer.
He sensed something and suddenly turned to look at the darkness beyond Minglin Sand, his brows furrowing.
"What's wrong?" Seeing his somber face, Aunt Zhu had a bad feeling and looked over in the same direction as him.
In the darkness, the outlines of mountains and rivers were faintly visible, and they were distorting, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
He Lingchuan said, "I can sense the state of the Great Evolution Heavenly Pearl. The formation of the new secret realm... has encountered a problem."
