The Clear Wilderness couple pendant key that Fu Wang had gotten using Tian Feng Jin Yu's name was extremely useful. Shu Yu flew towards the main entrance of the Clear Wilderness with the pendant and stepped into the bright blue light without any of the guards even making a move to stop her.

She was now inside but how will she find Fu Wang? Shu Yu stood blankly at the vast plains, where all around her, tall grass grew to the height of a person's waist. Looking up, she saw a cloudless blue sky, the scenery before her was as clean as window xp's starting screen.

According to Fu Wang, the Clear Wilderness was the biggest of the three secret realms[1] in the Meng Ze Realm. It was practically a mini world, that is to say, it had grasslands, deserts and oceans. In short, it had countless mountains and rivers. How was she to know which corner he was at?

This was distressing because her sense of direction wasn't good. Fu Wang had previously shown her a map but she couldn't understand it so they agreed that once she was in, she should wait for him wherever she was, wait for Fu Wang to find her. During this time, she just had to ensure her own safety and not wander around so as not to get lost in strange places.

However, the current situation was different because she didn't know if the poor guy was safe. What if he had been hurt, trapped, and couldn't come looking for her? Because of this, Shu Yu felt that it was necessary to be  this time around and look for him instead.

That brought her back to the initial problem, how will she find him? Before Shu Yu could come up with a plan, she felt that something was amiss and jumped away from her initial spot. Right after she left her spot, a few small arm-length black snakes emerged from the nearby underbrush. Fangs dripping with saliva, the pliable grass withered and turned yellow the moment it dripped onto the grass.

It's clear that these snakes had hidden in the underbrush to attack her. If this had happened back when she first came to this world, she would definitely not have reacted in time but now, her reaction speed had been trained by Fu Wang! Small demon beasts with these speeds were of no problem.

With that being said, she didn't know how many more small black snakes there were in the grasslands. Shu Yu had jumped to another spot to avoid those snakes but before she even landed, a dozen other small snakes were already jumping up to bite her. As Shu Yu jumped around to avoid them, she felt like a mudskipper or popping candy.

At first, the little black snakes were just lying in wait in the underbrush but seeing that Shu Yu never landed, they changed tactics and started to jump and bite. These snakes didn't seem like snakes at all, with their astonishing jumping ability and the way they flew straight towards Shu Yu like a sharp spear, leaving her with no opening.

Shu Yu had initially felt overwhelmed because this was her first true fight afterall. Just like how even the best students in school would be flustered when they first started at a company. But she soon became more agile. Besides their numbers and agility, these kind of demon beasts had no lethal power. As for the few that looked venomous, Shu Yu didn't let them bite her so she wasn't in any danger.

The delicate Shu Yu risked getting goosebumps as she avoided the little snakes, recalling Fu Wang's lessons. He had said that most demon beasts in the Clear Wilderness were extremely ferocious and moved in groups. If she didn't exterminate them or kill enough of them to make them fear her, she wouldn't be able to escape.

At that thought, Shu Yu gritted her teeth and released a wave of fox fire. Her fox fire was a golden red flame that blazed hotter than the other Fox Clan's blue flames. Once it came into contact with the waist length grass, the golden-red flames instantly surrounded her, shooting in all directions like radiation and in the blink of an eye, about six meters of grass around her had been burnt away as it continued spreading. At the same time, the little black snakes that had been hiding in the grass hissed non-stop as they were also burned. One by one, the coils of burnt snake fell to the ground.
