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

at the same time.

On the other side of the psychedelic tidal forest.

A five-person squad is silently clearing out a small murloc camp.

When the last little fishman captain fell to the ground, a girl and two boys in the front row collapsed to the ground and started taking drugs like crazy, not even bothering to pick up the things that had fallen on the ground.

The two girls behind him looked at the corpse with serious expressions and took out the blue bottle.

"We're only 2 kilometers from the portal. In 2 hours, we've only advanced 2 kilometers. There's something wrong with this psychedelic tide."

"Indeed, even if the secret realm changes to level 150, these refined-level monsters should only have around 300 to 500 million HP. But the monsters here have 1200 million HP, far exceeding the scale of the infernal level in the Elf Forest."

The two paused, looked at each other, and said in unison.

"This place has become a true purgatory-like secret realm."

Their eyes narrowed, and their expressions turned somewhat unpleasant.

"This is no longer a compensatory purgatory-mode secret realm. The Ten Legendary Secret Realms have mutated, or rather... evolved..."

"This is not good news. We need to send it back immediately. If the remaining eight secret realms are like this, then it's beyond what we freshmen can handle."

This is indeed not good news. The Ten Legendary Secret Realms were originally rewards given by the Ten Families to their newly awakened offspring. If they all become true hellish modes, let alone those at levels 60 or 70, even third-tier teams will be unable to conquer them.

"Should we continue? If we keep going at this pace, we might miss the epic raid before we even reach the boss."

"Let's try pushing it forward a bit more. If it's still like this, then we'll risk using our flying mounts to investigate. If we confirm that other places also have this kind of monster, then we'll go out, report the situation, and upgrade in another location."

"Can."

The two quickly made a decision, and then led the three exhausted people rapidly into the depths of the forest.

……

the other side.

On a mountaintop.

Five men dressed in black robes, their faces obscured, stood on a rock, overlooking most of the forest.

"Captain, the Illusory Tide has been confirmed to have undergone a second mutation. The monsters are twice as strong as those in the Purgatory Mode of the Elf Forest. I have reported this to the Dragon Bureau's intelligence system, but there has been no response yet."

"Captain, the Mu family's team has withdrawn, leaving eight teams. Should we continue exploring or go kill the BOSS?"

The man in black robes standing in the middle seemed to be laughing upon hearing this.

"The danger level here has reached three stars. They are not beings they can conquer. They will have to retreat soon. So let's not rush to conquer the BOSS. Let's first find out the source of the mutation and see if it is an invasion by the demon race."

He paused for a moment before continuing.

"The Zhao family has voluntarily given up their tickets this time, so we must seize this only opportunity. We have too little information about the Ten Legendary Secret Realms."

The man next to him hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"The Zhao family is acting very strangely this time. Their new generation should have gone to White Tiger Academy, but they led the team to Imperial Capital Academy instead. And that Qi Sheng, according to the normal arrangement, he should have been the top student at Imperial Capital Academy. Now they have given up too many resources and advantages for Xu Qingmeng."

"Moreover, the Liu family is also in trouble this time. They seem to have run into problems with the Qian family. Although Liu Hanyan still got into the Imperial Academy, she didn't even attend the opening ceremony."

The man in the middle seemed to know something.

"Xu Qingmeng? Hmm... whatever you say, that's fine. But this time, the Zhao, Qi, and Liu families' affairs are within normal control. Don't ask about anything else, and don't investigate. Just do your job."

"As for the Qian family? There's no need to worry about them. That idiot Qian Jiayu is only number three. If he weren't a gold-level professional, he would have been sent to mine long ago with his brains."

As he said this, he looked towards the lake that was faintly visible in the forest to the west.

"Let's go, let's continue gathering intelligence."

"yes!"

The four of them quickly responded and then disappeared from the spot.

……

"Holy shit... Holy shit holy shit holy shit!!!"

"Did these damn monsters use all those potions? How do they have 1200 million HP?!"

"Why is this place different from the Fairy Forest?! Why?!?"

At the edge of the forest, Qian Jiayu was cursing and swearing; he had gone mad.

They spent over two hours trying to conquer this place, but they couldn't even manage to take down a single murloc's camp.

Although both he and Wu Huai were gold-level professionals, they couldn't withstand the onslaught of a group of monsters with over 1000 million HP each.

Qian Cheng was shooting arrows from behind while controlling his pet to attack. His face was so pale that he could barely sweat anymore.

"Brother, something's wrong! All the monsters in this secret realm have gone mad. Without Sister Hanyan's buff, we can't possibly defeat them. Should we retreat now?"

"Retreat? I've been stuck here for two hours and haven't even taken down a single minor leader! We can't retreat! We absolutely can't retreat!!!"

Qian Jiayu's broadsword was practically smoking as he swung it around, roaring like a madman, as if he wanted to devour all the little fishmen.

"Kill! Kill all these scum!!!"

"Bloodlust and Berserk!!!"

Qian Jiayu roared, activated his buff, and his entire body was engulfed in blood mist, doubling his attack speed.

"Die! All of you die!!!"

Watching Qian Jiayu shouting hysterically in front of him, Wu Xiangchen glanced at the empty blue bar and said.

"Young Master Yu! This secret realm suddenly changed like this, it must be related to that idiot Lu Yun!"

"During our assessment, Wen Liangyu released an item that made monsters stronger. This idiot is on very good terms with Wen Liangyu and his group; he must have gotten the same item from Wen Liangyu and corrupted the monsters. Don't forget, they were the first ones to enter the instance!"

Wu Xiangchen simply wanted to slander Lu Yun, but Qian Jiayu actually took it to heart.

Sure enough! Qian Jiayu went even crazier.

"Lu Yun... Lu Yun!!! You idiot!!! You killed me with a prop, and then you made me look bad in front of everyone! Now you've done this again, I'm going to kill you! Kill you!!!"

Seeing Qian Jiayu getting more and more crazy, Wu Xiangchen was very scared, but he couldn't help but gleam in his eyes and suppress his smile.

"You idiot Lu Yun, just wait! Qian Jiayu has completely fallen for you. Your death is nigh! Haha!"

……

Lakeside.

Hearing Li Zian's gleaming shout, Lu Yun's eyes also lit up.

The two exchanged a glance and quickly quickened their pace to run over.

Seeing this, Xu Qingmeng and the other two were speechless and had no choice but to follow.

however.

The excitement on their faces froze the moment they ran up to them.

Li Zian stared wide-eyed at the thing on the beach, completely bewildered.

"Holy crap? Brother Yun is actually a nobody?"

"Where did this salted fish come from?"

Lu Yun was also deceived.

From its appearance, it looks like a semi-dried salted fish, but it is quite large, about the size of an adult. However, its lower body is in the lake water, while its upper body is lying on the sand, making it look like a dried fish that has been washed ashore by the lake.

"Holy crap, I thought it was a mermaid, but it's just a salted fish. I can't hold it in anymore."

"And it's so ugly! Who would want to put a fish on the beach to sunbathe? Are they crazy?"

As he spoke, Li Zian, still confused, casually kicked his foot.

"What's going on? Did the salted fish drown?"

As soon as Li Zian finished speaking, the huge fish eye suddenly opened. Although it was only one eye, the suddenness of it startled Lu Yun and the other person.

"Holy crap?! Brother Yun, that salted fish, has come back to life!"

Li Zian was startled, his face changed drastically, and he instinctively kicked out.

Lu Yun couldn't hold back either; after being frightened, his expression changed and he started kicking as well.

"Holy crap?! This salted fish has come back to life?! Holy crap?!"

"You son of a bitch! It's not your fault you're ugly, but it's wrong of you to go out and scare people!"

"Hey?! No! Don't kick me! Don't kick me!"

"Holy crap?! Brother Yun!!! That salted fish actually spoke, holy crap!!!"

"Ouch!!! Don't kick my face! It hurts! It hurts so much, waaaaah..."

"Holy crap?! Brother Yun! This damn salted fish actually has hands?!"

"Ah!!! No! Stop kicking! Stop kicking!"

"Holy shit, you son of a bitch, you're scaring people!!! Damn! Damn! Damn!"

"You scared the hell out of me! I'll teach you to talk! I'll teach you to come back to life!"

"Damn! Damn! Damn!"

The two were so frightened that they stomped harder and harder. Li Zian was so scared that he jumped up and stomped on them. The two cursed as they stomped.

The salted fish cried out in pain every time it was stepped on, and the two men were even more frightened when it opened its mouth.

The result was that the more it shouted, the harder the two people stomped on it, and the harder it stomped on it.

Seeing this scene, Xu Qingmeng and the other two went from being shocked to being bewildered, and now they were speechless and facepalming.

He acted as if we didn't know him at all.
