I was bought by a princess as soon as I transmigrated here.

Chapter 222 The Outer World

After passing through the teleportation portal, Ye Chuxue was astonished by the scene before her. Lightning crackled all around, and purple electric streaks snaked through the air like serpents, illuminating the entire space with flickering light.

"This...this is the legendary residence of the Thunder God, isn't it? But it seems to be quite different from what I imagined." Ye Chuxue looked around and muttered to herself.

Indeed, while this place is also filled with powerful divine energy, it is clearly inferior to the true abode of Thor. Presumably, this is merely its outer perimeter.

"Could this outer realm be the location of the teleportation portal to the bottom of the God Realm?" Filled with doubt, Ye Chuxue began to carefully observe her surroundings.

Soon, she noticed the ancient stone pillars standing not far away. These pillars were tall and thick, their surfaces covered with all sorts of strange and unrecognizable runes.

A strong sense of curiosity welled up in Ye Chuxue's heart, and she walked towards one of the stone pillars without thinking.

As she approached the stone pillar, she reached out her right hand and gently touched it. However, the instant her fingertips touched the pillar, an extremely faint electric current rapidly spread throughout her body.

The sudden electric shock made Ye Chuxue quickly pull her hand back, but at that moment, she was surprised to find that the originally dull runes on the stone pillar had begun to flicker with a faint light, as if they had been activated by some kind of power.

"What exactly is going on? Is this some kind of special trial or test?" Faced with such a strange situation, Ye Chuxue couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Meanwhile, a considerable amount of time had passed for the anxious crowd waiting outside the portal, but Ye Chuxue still hadn't emerged.

"So much time has passed, why hasn't Chuxue appeared yet? Could she have really run into some trouble?" Song Wanning wondered to herself, a worried look on her face. The others were also discussing among themselves, their hearts filled with unease and anxiety.

Just then, the mysterious and ancient portal slowly opened, and after a flash of light, Ye Chuxue stepped out.

She turned around and called out to the crowd behind her, "Come in, there's no danger inside."

Upon hearing this, everyone filed in.

However, the moment they stepped into the portal, the scene before them suddenly changed dramatically.

In the blink of an eye, everyone found themselves outside a towering city wall.

The city wall stretches out like a sleeping dragon, giving people a sense of solemnity and grandeur.

"Hmm?" Ye Chuxue was startled and immediately became more alert, her eyes scanning her surroundings like lightning.

She turned to look at Song Wanning beside her and asked in a low voice, "Sister, could this be the legendary illusionary realm?"

Song Wanning nodded slightly and replied softly, "That's right, but from my observation, the divine power contained here is relatively weak. With my abilities, I should be able to easily break through it."

After a moment's thought, Ye Chuxue decisively said, "There's no need to rush to break this illusion. Let's observe and assess the situation first. If the timing isn't right, we can use a method to break the formation later." Before she finished speaking, several figures slowly emerged from inside the city gate. Instantly, everyone present tensed up and went into a state of high alert.

"Hey! What are you guys doing standing there? Are you planning to go into town?" The man shouted loudly, his voice booming.

Upon closer inspection, everyone saw that these people were wearing gleaming armor, wielding sharp weapons, and were marching menacingly towards them.

Faced with this sudden change, some commotion was inevitable among the crowd.

But at the critical moment, Ye Chuxue stepped forward and calmly reassured everyone, saying, "Don't be afraid, everyone. I suspect there might be some specific task here that we need to complete. As long as we successfully achieve the goal and obtain the corresponding reward, we should be able to leave safely."

Immediately afterward, Song Wanning echoed, "That's right, please be patient." She then stepped forward, smiled sweetly at the soldiers guarding the city, and said softly, "Sir, we lost our way in the mountains and stumbled upon this place by mistake. Would you be so kind as to guide us into the city to rest for a while?"

"Come with us. You must be from out of town. Remember to register your identity when you come in." The guards looked at the group of strangers with serious expressions. Although their tone was polite, their eyes were full of vigilance.

No one dared to delay, and they all stepped forward to fill out their information as required. After all the formalities were completed, they were finally allowed to enter this mysterious town.

As soon as they entered the city, they were captivated by its bustling scene. The streets and alleys were packed with crowds, and on both sides of the road stood rows of antique buildings of various shapes and styles.

Some of these buildings are tall and magnificent, while others are small and exquisite, with their flying eaves and brackets showcasing the superb skills of ancient craftsmen.

However, although it appears to be no different from any other ordinary town on the surface, the experienced locals know very well that there must be an unknown secret hidden behind this seemingly ordinary appearance.

After searching for a while, the group finally found a decent-looking inn and decided to stay there for the time being.

After settling in, one of them couldn't help but ask, "What should we do now? We can't just keep waiting like this, can we?" Everyone looked at each other, unsure of how to answer.

At this moment, Ye Chuxue thought for a moment and said, "Let's not act rashly for now. Let's observe the surroundings and see if we can trigger some key tasks. If we're lucky, we might be able to find a way to leave this place after completing the tasks." Hearing her say this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Time flies, and before you know it, night falls, and the whole town gradually falls into silence.

Just as everyone was immersed in their dreams, suddenly, a long and deep chime broke the silence of the night.

Immediately afterwards, cries of terror rose and fell: "The beast tide is coming! The beast tide is coming!" In an instant, the once dark and silent town became brightly lit, and hurried footsteps echoed through the streets. People rushed out of their homes and ran towards the city walls.

Upon hearing the commotion, Ye Chuxue quickly got up and went to the window to look outside. She then decisively turned to the others and said, "Let's go! Let's hurry over and help!" With that, she rushed out of the room, leading the others to join the fight against the beast tide…

After everyone came out of the inn, Ye Chuxue asked someone for directions.

It turns out that every now and then, wild beasts from the forest would rush out to attack the town, and everyone would organize to defend it, but there would always be casualties.

Ye Chuxue shared the results of her inquiry with everyone, and then said, "Let's go and see what's going on."

Everyone nodded and then headed towards the city wall.

Upon reaching the city wall, everyone was stunned into silence.

Outside, swarms of wild beasts were charging toward the city walls. Inside, even the lowest-ranking beasts were Grandmasters. If this happened in their world, it would be an absolute disaster!

No wonder the people in this town are so powerful; it turns out the wild beasts outside are really fierce!
