Li Pu had completely forgotten about the meeting with the class teacher.

He stopped the senior because he had a question.

"Um... does it also have to go?"

He pointed to the Thorny Mouse.

This guy had been following him and Wu Guinan ever since they left the administration office.

During this time, it had eaten two fresh mushrooms from him, along with several beast fingers, toes, and tender branch tips.

[Thorny!]

The watched Thorny Mouse stood up and raised its small hand, indicating it also wanted to join.

After eating so much from Li Pu, it felt obliged to help out.

It definitely wasn't because it wanted more food. Okay, to be honest, that thought made up 30%...well, 50%, alright fine, 99%.

"Can it also go?"

Unfortunately, Li Pu and the others couldn't understand the language of the Thorny Mouse.

"Although it's not our summoned beast, if I recall correctly, it hasn't reached level one transformation yet."

Chang Shoushang stroked his chin with certainty.

Since the Thorny Mouse was following them, having an extra hand wouldn't hurt, it was a good thing.

"Wait a moment."

However, Wang Nuonuo noticed something amiss.

She looked at the strawman following Li Pu, then at Chang Shoushang.

Chang Shoushang's summoned beast was even more mysterious than her Bai Youyou; nobody in the entire grade had seen its appearance.

So it's understandable that he didn't have a summoned beast by his side.

But if this hedgehog wasn't any of their summoned beasts, then…

"Where's your summoned beast then?"

Wang Nuonuo asked Wu Guinan.

"My summoned beast... was confiscated."

Wu Guinan couldn't find a better word at the moment.

"Confiscated?"

Wang Nuonuo was taken aback; it was the first time she heard such a term.

"Yeah, senior! I don't have a summoned beast right now!"

Wu Guinan suddenly had an epiphany: "So I'm just a burden! Going to another world will just hold you back!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, he felt his shoulder being pressed by the senior.

"It's okay, worst case scenario, you just won't have to count his share,"

"Let him see the world."

Chang Shoushang finished speaking with a smile, then leaned in close to Wu Guinan's ear and whispered: "If we die, we die together."

Knowing the limitations of power in the other world, he felt completely at ease.

"Alright, then."

Wang Nuonuo gave Wu Guinan a deep look, then placed the crystal on the ground as a sign for everyone to step back.

Buzz…!

A vertical eye-shaped spatial rift channel appeared in front of everyone.

"Is this the channel to another world?"

Li Pu looked at the entrance, feeling a bit curious.

The passage emitted misty white light that made it impossible to see what was inside.

This was his first time witnessing a replica light gate in person, inevitably feeling a bit excited and nervous.

"Let's go."

Wang Nuonuo waved to the group and then lifted her foot.

But after a second, she withdrew her foot, leaving the three men puzzled.

"I... am a little scared, could you guys go in first?"

She showed a timid smile.

Instinctively, Chang Shoushang and Wu Guinan both turned their gaze to Li Pu.

"..."

Li Pu was speechless but didn't really mind.

So he stepped forward, first stretching his hand towards the light gate.

[Level one transformation or above cannot enter]

The feedback from the panel appeared in his mind the next second.

After waiting a while without anything unusual, he gritted his teeth and stepped inside.

The moment his whole body entered the light gate, Li Pu felt a sensation of weightlessness envelop him, with nothing but endless white light in his vision.

However, this process was brief, lasting only about one or two seconds before returning to normal.

A gloomy sky, dark red desolate land.

This was all he could see.

The word "sinister" was the first time he felt it so personally.

Even though there was no threat from beasts nearby, it still gave a sense of unease.

The temperature felt normal on his skin, but he still couldn't shake the strange feeling of cold.

Li Pu seemed able to hear his heartbeat clearly.

Even his movements seemed slightly stiff and heavy.

This experience was actually called fear.

It was a natural reaction for humans in an unknown other world, especially since this world was a ghost realm, making the reaction doubly strong.

However, Li Pu's experiences were different from most students; after all, he had survived life and death (?) in the deep mountains alone.

"Hu..."

He took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the discomfort.

[Grass!]

Suddenly, a loud shout from behind almost broke his composure.

It was the strawman who had followed him inside.

[Caocao!]

Strawman: Summoner, this place is so strange!

As a summoned beast, the strawman seemed to adapt to unfamiliar environments more easily.

It showed no signs of discomfort.

As soon as it steadied on its feet, it began to curiously look around.

Buzz…xN

With slight vibrations, Wang Nuonuo and the others came in too.

Compared to Li Pu, Wang Nuonuo didn't fare as well.

Under the gloomy atmosphere, her face was turning a bit pale.

If she held chopsticks now, they'd surely be shaking.

While Chang Shoushang and Wu Guinan's expressions were solemn, standing straight as though nothing was wrong.

Chang Shoushang: "There's a heavy sinister aura here, a place not meant for us."

Wu Guinan: "I just checked the almanac; today's not good for resurrection or guardians, maybe we should come another day."

Yet their brave words betrayed their current mindset.

[Thorny!]

The nearby Thorny Mouse couldn't help but show a mocking expression.

"Senior, could you stop pulling so hard."

Li Pu ignored the two useless guys, looking at Wang Nuonuo who had somehow already grabbed his sleeve: "Why don't you let your summoned beast out first."

Wang Nuonuo nodded, and after pausing a moment, began to return to her normal state.

"Xiao Bai, come out."

Upon her command, a drifting figure slowly appeared.

Actually, Bai Youyou had always been around them, just in a non-combat invisible state before.

"A ghost!"

Among them, only Wu Guinan exclaimed.

"A ghost? There are no ghosts in this world,"

"It's just another form of summoned beast."

Li Pu solemnly corrected this notion. In a harmonious world, there are no ghosts.

The appearance, despite being sudden, wasn't scary at all.

In fact, it was just a piece of cloth floating above the ground, with black holes representing eyes and a mouth on it, looking much like the strawman.

[I want to die]

[Oh wait, I'm already dead]

Xiao Bai had only those two sentences of human speech.

With her summoned beast by her side, Wang Nuonuo was finally much more normal.

"Okay, let me introduce the precautions here."

"First of all, this place is called Little Yama Realm."
