Luo Xiao could sense that the pair were both frightened when mentioning the meadow, but neither of them went into details with what they had encountered.
Under normal circumstances, he would have avoided talking about something that could make them uncomfortable, but after arriving at the Secret Realm, he finally understood the lethality this place possessed.
"The meadow you mentioned, was the dangers you encountered from beasts and animals, or was it from plants and vegetation, like the ones we met in the forest?" Luo Xiao felt that only by understanding their current environment would they be able to survive better in this chaotic and dangerous realm, but even so, he reminded himself to always keep vigilant.
"The plants did not seem to pose any threats," Da Tou was thinking back to the encounters they had within the meadow, but no matter how frightening their enemies had appeared, the grass and plants had remained still.
"The biggest problem with the meadow is not the plants. Meadows are the homes of countless smaller animals, but not all rodents are friendly, it would appear." As Xiao Tou spoke, his heart was trembling as he remembered the time they fled before.
"There was a nest of rabbits with red eyes and sharp fangs that kept chasing us, but just as we were about to avoid them, a massive weasel appeared, chasing away the rabbits. Just as we relaxed, another lizard came from within the tall grass, clearly aiming for some human flesh.
"There were hares and mice, snakes and spiders, even the earthworms and bumblebees were bloodthirsty. How can an idyllic and beautiful place become so dangerous and horrible?" Xiao Tou almost collapsed as he thought back to their escape. Group after group of terrible beasts had chased them through the meadow, and it was only by luck that they had managed to survive.
Luo Xiao, on the other hand, had already thought that his experience in the forest was miserable, and that he had to be among the more unlucky ones when it came to position of arrival within the Secret Realm, but after hearing their experience, he was suddenly quite satisfied with that he had encountered.
"From what I gather, it is not without reason that this Secret Realm is known as a place that kills countless experts. The slightest mistake or inattentiveness will cause a loss of life." Luo Xiao could not help but sigh, as he understood the severity of their current challenge. Even so, he was quite satisfied. If it had been an easy journey, then he would not be challenged. Even so, he had to ensure that every step he took would protect himself and allow him to grow stronger.
Luo Xiao was deep in thought, and neither Da Tou nor Xiao Tou spoke. Both of them waited for him to stop thinking, before they could plan their next actions.
"Since this realm is more dangerous than expected, then I would suggest that we take it slow. Although many resources will be found at the start of our visit, we need to be alive to benefit from them.
"I think that we should, at the start, completely ignore what riches and treasures might be hidden, and instead try to adjust and adapt to the current situation. Let us find some enemies that we can challenge, and slowly build our strength in this way."
Although the pair of brothers had said that their strength was fleeing, Luo Xiao knew that they had to be working hard on their cultivation as well, not to mention their abilities to fight and stay alive. Their fleeing was, indeed, useful, but other methods had to be found too.
"We can fight a few enemies, but our energy will not last long. Although we have not used many pills, and the purity of our Qi is high, we are from humble backgrounds and we do not have many martial art skills." Da Tou was not ashamed of mentioning his background. Although it was not glorious or prominent, it was a part of who he was.
To him, it was already a great success to have become what he was now, and he had never taken any kind of help for granted. All the techniques he had were exchanged with the sect for contribution points.
Both he and Xiao Tou were doing their utmost in the attempt of increasing strength, but they also knew that they were limited by many factors. Their origin and the lack of resources would always slow down their advance when compared to others.
However, they also had a great benefit. They had been suffering before and knew how challenging life could be, so both of them knew that hard work was absolutely necessary if one wished to stay alive.
At the same time, they also understood that life was more important than anything else, which was the main reason for their ability to flee. Such mindset made Luo Xiao qiute approving, and he felt that both of them were very interesting people.
"Although the Martial Art Techniques might not be the best, we have to work with what we got. If we encounter a battle that we cannot win, then the life-saving ability to flee will be used instead. However, we will be cautious when luring enemies, and we will take it slowly. I believe that as long as we are calm and controlled, this method of looking for sparring partners to ajust to this new world is the right way to go."
