I told you to change your skills, and you changed them into a nuclear explosion immortal?

Inside the house on the back of the gyrfalcon.

About twenty boys and girls sat on sofas and chairs, enjoying their food and chatting.

This room is just like a regular living room, except that it doesn't have a television.

"Sister Qing, Grandpa Zhao really spoils you, giving you such precious props. Unlike us, we have to endure wind and sun when riding our mounts."

Upon hearing this, the others immediately echoed their agreement, all expressing their envy of Zhao Qing for having such a house.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qing, sitting on the sofa at the head of the table, spoke softly without any expression.

"It's just a prop. The most important thing now is to find out who got the tenth ticket."

When this was mentioned, everyone turned to look at the only boy sitting by the window, gazing at the scenery outside.

He crossed his legs, and seeing everyone looking at him, he smiled faintly and spoke nonchalantly.

"I'm also very curious about who it is that could make my second uncle speak up personally, even at the cost of fighting with my father."

A rather cute little girl on the sofa pouted.

"Uncle Qi is so biased! He gave the tickets to outsiders."

The young man smiled and stared out the window.

"He's not being biased; perhaps he has his own plans, but whatever the case..."

As he spoke, he slowly suppressed his smile and said softly.

"The top freshman at Imperial Capital Academy is definitely mine. Anyone who wants to compete with me, I'd like to see what kind of person they are."

"Brother Sheng, you're overthinking it."

Zhou Qiming said dismissively with a straight face.

"Just ask for the tickets back later. If they know what's good for them, give them some compensation; if they don't, just kick them out."

"Exactly! Brother Sheng, you're the third person from our Capital No. 1 High School to successfully complete your second job advancement after the assessment! When your level 68 is revealed, won't he be scared to death?"

Listening to the boys' flattery, Zhao Qing spoke expressionlessly.

"This year, the other four major domains have also produced quite a few gold-level professionals. Don't underestimate the people of the world."

Once she spoke, the others, though unconvinced, became much more obedient.

"Right now, we need to contact that person, confirm his identity, and investigate who he is."

"It would be best if we could get the tickets. If not, then Qi Sheng will have to team up with the others."

"This is really infuriating... damn it!"

Zhou Qiming frowned and cursed.

"Everything was arranged perfectly in previous years, but this year, even with the strongest group of us, this mess still happened."

"I don't know what Uncle Qi was thinking. He didn't help his own family, but went to help outsiders."

Zhao Qing looked at him calmly and said.

"The Mu family is also problematic. They were involved in the ticket distribution this time."

"It's a really big problem. I heard that the fourth young lady of the Mu family has returned and even stole the ticket that belongs to the Mu family."

"That's true, but it wasn't a robbery. Miss Mu gave it up voluntarily. I don't know what she was after. Didn't she know that Relic Tickets would drop in the Elf Forest this time?"

"I heard that the Fourth Miss, who has never shown her face, brought some friends from the Northern Region and wanted to take them into the secret realm together."

Upon hearing this, many people scoffed.

"The Northern Regions? What kind of bumpkin came from some remote mountain village?"

"The Northern Region is full of trash. How dare they enter the same secret realm as us? Fourth Miss is blind and deaf."

"Don't talk nonsense. How dare you question the Fourth Miss?"

"alright."

Seeing that the conversation was getting increasingly off-topic, Zhao Qing, who was clearly also wary of the Mu family, quickly interrupted the discussion.

"The Mu family needs to be careful, and so does that person. Right now, we also need to pay close attention to that big shot who has a skeletal dragon mount."

"A skeletal dragon? It can't possibly be as powerful as Grandpa Zhang. What a joke."

Zhao Qing said softly with a calm expression.

"Have you all forgotten about the sudden opening and changes in the Elf Forest?"

Qi Sheng, who was leaning against the window, paused for a moment, then turned to look at her calmly.

"You mean, these three are related?"

"Perhaps that big shot was just passing by, but the changes in the Elf Forest and the anomalies in the Monster Plains are definitely related."

Qi Sheng nodded, then slowly curled the corners of his mouth and said.

"It doesn't matter, as long as he doesn't get in the way. As for the others? I'm invincible below the third level."

……

early morning.

In the forest of the core area of ​​the Monster Plains.

Two men and three women, dressed in black hooded robes, were riding four mounts and galloping towards the core.

The girl in the lead frowned slightly as she looked at the extremely quiet surroundings.

"The secret realm has been open for half an hour, how much longer?"

Upon hearing this, the girl running behind spoke in a cool voice from inside her hood.

"It's just ahead."

The girl in the lead paused for a moment before speaking.

"Is this secret realm really only at the Purgatory level?"

"There's a problem with the secret realm; it's only at the Infernal level, but it's been compensated with no affixes."

"That's alright..."

The girl in the lead nodded, feeling a sense of relief. After all, the monsters at the Purgatory level were already far too powerful; if affixes were added, they simply wouldn't be able to defeat them.

Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly felt that there was no space in front of her, and then they came to an open space.

The open space was large and there were many people. Among them, Zhou Qiming with red hair was the most eye-catching, as was the teleportation portal standing in the very center.

When those people saw someone coming, they all subconsciously looked over, and Zhou Qiming stood up with a stern face and said.

"This is not a place for you."

The girl in the lead completely ignored him, only saying something indifferently.

"It seems they haven't gone inside yet; they appear to be waiting for something."

Upon hearing this, the girl behind her spoke softly without a trace of emotion.

"Ignore them, just go straight into the dungeon."

The girl at the head nodded, and the others, expressionless, led the group toward the portal.

Zhou Qiming's face turned cold, and he was about to speak subconsciously, but Zhao Qing stopped him first.

"Ignore them. They can't get in without tickets, and even if they do, you can't do anything about it."

Zhou Qiming thought about it and agreed, but he was very unhappy with the attitude of these five people.

"Could they be the same bunch of country bumpkins that Miss Fourth brought? Ha... wearing hoodies, are they afraid to show their faces?"

"I don't know, many people didn't come, so I'm not sure which ones."

At this moment, a girl in the group asked suspiciously.

"Sister Qing, are we still going to wait? It's been more than half an hour, and time is running out."

They had hoped to wait for the person who got the tenth ticket, but unfortunately, that person has not appeared since the portal opened.

However, just as she was about to say she wouldn't wait, the sound of flapping wings suddenly came from afar.

Everyone instinctively looked over, even the five who had already reached the teleportation portal turned back to look.

"Is that... a high-level demonic beast?"

"So fast..."

No wonder everyone was stunned.

Because one second ago, the black shadow was just a dot, but the next second, it appeared before our eyes with a string of starlight.

Even in daylight, it is incredibly clear at this moment.

"Wow, that's fast!"

"That's... starlight? It's so beautiful... Wait? What is that???"

As soon as everyone uttered a sigh, their mouths gradually opened wide, and their eyes slowly widened in astonishment.

In just one second, the enormous shadow arrived above the edge of the open space.

What word can describe its sheer size? But "size" seems to be the least significant of all.

Its entire body was covered in ferocious skeletal armor, and dazzling starlight flowed within its body. Its terrifyingly huge teeth and gleaming bone claws exuded an aura of unparalleled power at every moment.

What's terrifying is that every time it gently flaps its thorny wings, it causes the trees below to rustle.

The sheer size and the sheer awe-inspiring beauty of their bodies left the group of young masters and ladies completely stunned.

"This, this is... a dragon???"

"A skeletal dragon... What a huge dragon! Such a terrifying aura..."

"Wait? There's someone on that giant head?!"
