Chapter 277: Mission Secret Realm! Spirit of the Secret Realm
Chapter 277: Mission Secret Realm! Spirit of the Secret Realm.
While the existence from various sides started to pay attention to this secret realm raid battle.
Ling Zhan, at the entrance of the 51st floor, was already fully prepared.
Next to him, Old Man Funo had his eyes slightly closed, still maintaining a gentlemanly demeanor.
However, his tie at the collar was slightly loosened.
Anyone familiar with this 'Scythe of Death' knew that this extremely elegant old man had already started to take things seriously.
Obviously, he didn't want to fail unexpectedly.
Although Funo felt in his heart that this non-specialist couldn't possibly surpass him.
But just in case, he still had to be serious.
At this moment.
Creak...
The bronze door leading to the 51st floor, under the magical chanting of the guarding soldiers, unlocked the intricate and mysterious magical locks, and the two doors slowly opened.
Roar!!
The moment the doors opened.
The violent beast roar inside immediately echoed, making one's heart tremble.
"It has begun!"
The spectators outside quickly focused their attention.
Whoosh!!
Ling Zhan's figure, at the moment the door opened, shot out like a cannonball!
Old Man Funo's figure also vanished at this moment, turning into a pool of pitch-black shadow, closely following Ling Zhan.
The viewers from the "Eden" guild were stunned to see the original screen flicker slightly.
Then it switched to the perspective of Old Man Funo following closely!
"What a fast sprinting speed!"
"Damn! Even my displacement skill can't match this guy's running speed!"
In the screen, Ling Zhan's figure sprinted through the dark passage of the secret realm.
Behind him was a cloud of dust, like the traces left by a speeding car.
"Although he is fast, looking at the camera, 'Scythe of Death' seems quite at ease..."
Indeed, he was quite at ease.
The camera didn't shake at all.
There was no sound of breathing either.
Old Man Funo seemed like a cameraman running faster than an athlete, giving the impression that Ling Zhan was limiting the speed of this third-tier assassin.
"Haha! I said it, this guy has strength but likes to show off and grab attention!"
"Indeed, I don't know how he dares to look down on Old Man Funo."
"His speed is faster than ours, but compared to the already third-tier Funo, he's still far behind."
"That's why young people shouldn't be too arrogant, after all, there's always someone better."
"..."
Even though Ling Zhan showed great strength in front.
These small-minded spectators couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks.
Anyway, Ling Zhan couldn't hear them.
This was normal.
Even when some people see someone better than themselves, when that person shows off in front of everyone.
They can't help but make a sour remark: You really know how to show off.
If you argue with them: "If you have the skills, you show off too!"
They would become deflated.
Because they know they don't have the skills.
If they had the skills, they would already be more prominent than Ling Zhan.
The contestants from various countries did not join in the mockery.
They no longer cared about Ling Zhan's previous bold words.
Now the only thing they cared about was seeing this non-specialist's true strength!
Because if they wanted to achieve good results in the upcoming individual competition.
There was a high probability they would encounter this non-specialist!
Strategically despise the enemy, but tactically value the enemy!
This was the attitude of these top contestants towards this non-specialist.
At this moment.
Inside the secret realm.
Ling Zhan still hadn't increased his speed.
Old Man Funo maintained his gentlemanly demeanor, not making any sarcastic remarks at this moment.
He wouldn't interfere with any adventurer's secret realm raid.
Soon...
After half a minute of sprinting.
The originally dark and narrow passage instantly disappeared!
After exiting the passage, the space began to distort, and the vision also started to blur!
"Mr. Ling, please relax, this is the exclusive space teleportation of the secret realm. Every time you enter a level, you will be transported to an independent secret realm space."
Funo explained to Ling Zhan in time.
Many new adventurers would definitely be nervous.
Ling Zhan was indeed a rookie adventurer here for the first time.
After several seconds of blurred vision and spatial distortion.
Buzz!!
Ling Zhan and Funo were directly transported to a mountaintop!
Looking down from the mountaintop.
They saw a vast plain below.
On the plain stood a towering solitary city in the middle.
Ling Zhan, focusing his gaze, was surprised to find that outside this towering solitary city, a massive army of monsters was gathered!
In this monster army, there were all kinds of monsters!
Including some succubi, floating wraiths, thorny flower spirits encountered by Ling Zhan in the lower levels of the secret realm, all were present in the monster army!
They now had fierce expressions, staring intently at this solitary city.
Roar!!
The deafening roars of the monsters echoed to the sky, and the originally clear blue sky was now filled with dark clouds.
On the city walls of the solitary city, one could vaguely see groups of adventurers gathering together, discussing matters with serious expressions.
At this moment.
A ball of light appeared beside Ling Zhan.
Ling Zhan's eyes flashed, his calm and cold heart undisturbed, he punched the ball of light!
Old Man Funo's expression changed, he wanted to stop it but it was too late!
Bang!!
The fierce punch wrapped in violent power directly hit the ball of light!
Crack!!
What was more shocking was that under this punch, cracks appeared in the space where the ball of light was!
The originally soft glowing ball of light began to distort under the violent punch!
"Mr. Ling, stop!"
At this moment, seeing Ling Zhan about to throw a second punch, Old Man Funo's face changed dramatically, losing his elegance, he quickly shouted to stop.
Ling Zhan frowned slightly, and stopped his raised second punch.
He stepped back and looked at the gentlemanly old man in confusion.
"My goodness! Even hitting the spirit of the secret realm!"
The outside spectators, seeing this, exclaimed.
The Nine-Tailed Fox giggled upon seeing this.
Many contestants from other countries were also puzzled.
Because they were here for the first time and didn't understand what the spirit of the secret realm was.
Fortunately, Funo quickly explained.
"Mr. Ling, this is the spirit of the secret realm!"
"It is also responsible for maintaining the stability of this secret realm space!"
"Hitting it is useless, and its role here is similar to an NPC, specifically giving us tasks."
Ling Zhan, hearing this, glanced at the ball of light that had returned to stability.
Funo continued to explain:
"Our luck is good and not so good."
"The first adventurer to step in here today triggered a mission checkpoint, causing subsequent adventurers to enter this scenario space."
"From now on, the monsters in the secret realm from the 51st to the 90th floor are all merged here."
"The spirit of the secret realm is responsible for giving us task content. Only by completing the task can we safely reach the 91st floor."
"The reason I say good luck is because every time a mission checkpoint is triggered, once successfully passed, extremely rich experience, items, materials, and equipment rewards will be given."
"As for the bad luck... it's because all the monsters are merged together, which means the bosses will appear together."
"At that time, it will be chaotic! It's very likely that the boss monsters needed for your task will be killed by others first."
"Then you will only fail the task, be forcibly teleported back to the 50th floor, and lose the qualification to raid the secret realm above the 51st floor for a week."
The reason for losing the qualification is that the monsters and scenarios in the secret realm from the 51st to the 100th floor refresh once a week.
Higher-level secret realms have even longer refresh times.
Some hidden resource points refresh once every few years, or even decades.
With Funo's explanation.
Those who didn't understand finally realized.
The world is vast and full of wonders.
Even in a real monster secret realm, there would be task scenario modes like in games.
But this was normal.
Some boss checkpoints required you to complete certain preconditions in the secret realm for them to appear.
Otherwise, no matter how much you shout, no monster would bother with you in the secret realm.
Buzz!!
At this moment.
The ball of light emitted a glow.
A golden glowing scroll appeared in front of Ling Zhan, while a gray-white scroll appeared in front of Funo.
When the outside spectators saw the golden glowing scroll appear in front of Ling Zhan.
They were first stunned, then burst into gleeful laughter!
"Hahahahaha!!"
"Although the spirit of the secret realm is immortal, it is obviously very dissatisfied with this non-specialist's punch just now!"
"Feels good! The task of the golden scroll is the hardest in the mission checkpoints, probably requires killing at least five boss monsters from the monster army."
"Although this non-specialist might not have much pressure in killing bosses given his strength. The problem is, now there are people competing with him for monsters!"
Indeed...
On the towering solitary city's walls, the people gathered were the adventurers who stepped into the 51st floor today.
They had already received the tasks from the spirit of the secret realm and began discussing how to pass.
It could be seen that these adventurers each had their own groups.
Some gathered in threes and twos, while some gathered in dozens, even hundreds.
Those gathered in large numbers were usually the adventurer corps from small guilds.
Ling Zhan glanced at the task content on the golden scroll, his eyes slightly narrowed.
"Adventurers, please successfully defend this solitary city and kill ten boss monsters leading the monster army!"
