Locke: Daily intelligence, I'm going crazy finding bargains!

Meanwhile, in an old residential building in the old town of Los Angeles.

At Luo Xing's home, a "UFC" match is currently taking place.

Li Xueli was wearing pajamas, one hand on her hip, the other hand gripping Lorne's ear tightly with frightening force.

"Ouch! Honey! Be gentle! Your ear's going to fall off!" Lorne winced in pain, his body lurching downwards as Li Xueli's grip tightened.

The apron with the bear pattern was still tied around his waist, making him look completely different from the person who had been dominating the rooftop just moments before.

"Pretty impressive, huh!" Li Xueli sneered, and tightened her grip even more.

"What's wrong? You think you're all that just because you're wearing a tattered apron? You even went to rescue your ex-lover? Your fire lotus placement was pretty accurate, huh!"

Lorne waved his hands repeatedly, looking as aggrieved as a 200-pound fat man: "Wife, let me explain! I swear! I was absolutely going to save our son!"

"Save your son? Save your son while you stare at that spirit vine for ages? Do you think I'm blind?!"

"I didn't! I really didn't! Oh dear!"

The morning sunlight streamed into the living room through the window, while Lorne's screams echoed in the hallway.

Upon entering the secret realm, Luo Xing felt the nightmarish pollution as soon as his feet touched the ground.

He steadied himself and looked around.

Before him stretched a range of rolling mountains, not unlike the Breeze Mountain he had seen in the game. However, this mountain range seemed to have been drained of all its vitality, looking gray and lifeless.

"Brother Xing!"

Douzi rolled out of the bushes on the side, with a few withered leaves hanging in her hair. Su Mumu followed behind her, and the two ran to Luo Xing's side.

"Are you all alright?" Luo Xing asked.

"Except for slipping and falling on my butt, everything else is fine." Douzi patted the dust off her pants.

"That's too brutal. They just threw it without saying a word."

A few seconds later, a rustling sound came from the bushes not far away, and Liu Ruyan came out from there.

Her complexion was very bad, and her lips were almost bloodless. She had overdrawn her strength by forcibly summoning Mu Xingchen, and she couldn't fully recover in a short time.

He recalled the information Bai Qiuxue had given him about the secret realm, which mentioned that the teleportation rules of the Qingfeng Mountain Secret Realm were completely random, and everyone would be scattered to different areas after entering.

With a wave of her hand, the Spirit Vine God sent the four people together; this was the power that transcended the rules.

"Brother Xing, why is the sky purple here? It's actually quite beautiful!"

Bean tilted its head back, staring at the sky above.

Luo Xing kicked him; this was nightmare contamination, which had completely covered the secret realm.

Just as Luo Xing had guessed, all of the Black Witch Clan's actions were aimed at releasing the Silent Bone Dragon sealed here.

"Don't just stand there, let's go." Luo Xing gathered his thoughts. "The nightmare atmosphere here is getting stronger and stronger. If we delay any longer, things will only get worse."

Following the route map given to him by Bai Qiuxue, Luo Xing quickly moved forward along the path on the mountain cliff.

After walking for a while, Luo Xing noticed something: this secret realm was too quiet. Since entering the secret realm, they hadn't seen a single elf.

Luo Xing had a bad feeling.

It's likely that the elves of this secret realm were all absorbed by the Black Witch Clan through some unknown means, transformed into energy, and supplied to the sealed Bone Dragon of Annihilation.

No wonder the nightmare contamination spread so quickly. With so many elves as nourishment, that skull dragon is probably about to break free of its seal.

Upon reaching the endpoint marked on the map, a huge circular platform appeared on the mountainside, with intricate magic runes carved on the ground and a black stone tablet more than three meters high standing in the center.

The stone tablet is covered with cracks and is engraved with dense ancient characters, emitting a faint golden light.

Directly in front of the stone tablet, there is a huge sealing magic circle on the ground.

Large areas of black corrosion have appeared on the edges of the magic circle. More than half of the array patterns that should have been flowing with golden light have dimmed, and only a few core nodes are still barely maintaining their operation.

Beneath the seal, one could vaguely sense an immense, suffocating aura surging forth.

Luo Xing ignored the seal and went straight to the stone tablet. Unexpectedly, the mysterious stone tablet mentioned in the daily intelligence report was right in the center of the sealing array.

He walked around the stone tablet and found that he couldn't understand the words on it at all. Just as he was worrying about this...

"Buzz"

The astrolabe emerged from the back of his hand, emitting a dazzling golden light.

The ancient characters on the stone tablet began to tremble violently. One by one, the characters detached from the stone surface, spun in mid-air, and finally transformed into a beam of light, condensing into a scroll with a pale golden luster, which landed steadily in Luo Xing's palm.

Congratulations on obtaining the Magic Scroll: Gale Song!

【Swift Wind Song (Epic): After using magic, the elf's speed is temporarily increased by 100%.】

Luo Xing's eyes lit up; this was a good thing—a war song-type magic.

However, there was no time to comprehend it. He directly stored it in the star chart, turned around and quickly walked towards the sealing array to carefully examine its state. The situation was even worse than he had expected. The array was corroding at an extremely fast rate, and at this rate, it wouldn't last much longer.

"Luo Xing, someone's there!"

Liu Ruyan's voice suddenly rose in pitch.

Luo Xing suddenly stood up and looked in the direction she was pointing.

At the edge of the platform, a figure in black robes was staggering toward the seal.

His steps were extremely stiff, like a puppet being led by strings. Even more bizarrely, his black robe had been torn into strips, revealing the skin underneath, which was covered with spiderweb-like black cracks, from which a purplish-black light seeped.

Luo Xing and the other three immediately became alert.

"Oh no!" Liu Ruyan's expression changed drastically.

"Stop him from getting close to the seal! His body stores a vast amount of life energy. Once he comes into contact with the seal, this energy will pour in directly, and the bone dragon will be fully awakened!"

"Meow!"

The moment Miaowu landed, it dashed out, its thorny claws stabbing fiercely at the black-robed man's chest.

"Bang!"

The claw strike landed, and the man in black was forced back two steps.

But he seemed to feel no pain; his body swayed slightly, and he continued walking towards the seal.

Douzi and Su Mumu immediately came to their aid. Duoxi rushed forward first, placing a metal shield in front of the black-robed man. The spirit fox released its skill from the side, and the three attacks hit simultaneously.

The black-robed man finally slowed down. Meow continued to attack, punching the black-robed man one after another. The fighting rhythm was stacked to five layers, and the attack speed was pushed to the limit, but the effect was not significant.

The black-robed man's body was cracking more and more, and he was less than ten meters away from the seal.

"Meow, use a punch!"

Meowing, she gathered her strength, stomped her left foot hard, and punched the black-robed man squarely in the face.

"Click"

The white mask on the black-robed man's face shattered, revealing the face beneath.

Luo Xing and the other two froze on the spot, because they were all too familiar with the person in front of them.
