All-out: Starting with the Awakening Special Operations Unit, search, attack, and withdrawal.

"Give me all the currently known information about secret realms within a forty-mile radius of Huangshan Base City!"

A handsome face, unfamiliar yet unforgettable at first glance, immediately jolted the young girl who was dozing at the counter awake the moment he opened his mouth.

Wiping the glistening drool from the corner of her mouth, the little girl hurriedly said.

"Sir, are you sure you want all of them? This price is probably a bit high..."

"How many?"

"25,000 Source Energy Points for a single secret realm!"

"Can!"

With a decisive nod, Chu Hong's taciturn nature further solidified his already complex persona.

It also attracted the attention of several pioneers who were sitting and chatting in the Pigeon Whistle Courtyard at that moment.

"This young man looks unfamiliar; he doesn't seem to be from our Huangshan base city..."

An old man wearing a cowboy hat and a golden revolver hanging from his waist asked with a smile, while pointing to a bottle of rum in front of him.

"Want to grab a drink?"

Chu Hong gently shook his head: "Thank you, but I have other matters to attend to."

The old man wasn't annoyed; he just looked at Chu Hong with curiosity. He was an old hand in this industry, and while he wouldn't say he knew everyone in the black market, he was certainly familiar with their faces.

The only one who seemed to be an ordinary young man was a complete stranger.

While the two were chatting briefly, the young girl came out from behind with two brown paper document bags.

"Sir, as per your request, within a forty-mile radius of Huangshan Base City, including the recently discovered 'Clifftop Plague Hospital,' the remaining two are the 'Thunderhorn Lizardman Tribe' in the northern mountain valley, which is a magic-based secret realm, and the other one, located beneath Crescent Lake in the south, is called the 'Fishman Ruins'..."

Chu Hong decisively paid 50,000 energy points to purchase the two intelligence reports.

This price isn't cheap, but Chu Hong isn't one of those ordinary newcomers who have no family background.

And just as he opened the file of the "Thunderhorn Lizardman Tribe" secret realm.

[Ding! Investigation area "Thunderhorn Lizardman Tribe" detected. Should it be added to the Special Operations Division?]

Chu Hong silently said "yes" in his heart.

[Ding! Investigation area "Thunderhorn Lizardman Tribe" successfully entered into the Special Operations Division's Operations Department]

He casually flipped through the documents a couple of times, as if checking their authenticity.

Then another file folder was opened.

[Ding! "Fishman Ruins" discovered in the investigation area. Should it be added to the Special Operations Division?]

"yes!"

[Ding! Investigation area "Fishman Ruins" successfully entered into the Special Operations Division's Operations Department]

Chu Hong silently packed his things and prepared to leave.

But then he heard the voice of the old man who had invited him earlier again from behind.

"Young brother, although the Thunderhorn Lizardman Tribe and the Fishman Ruins have been explored to a great extent, the bosses in both realms are not easy to deal with. If you don't have the strength of the fifth stage of Origin Realm or above, it's best not to enter the core area."

Chu Hong turned around, and the latter smiled, took off his cowboy hat, and gave a slight bow.

"If things don't go well, you can come find me here. I can't speak for the Fishman Ruins, but our Falcon Pioneer Team is quite skilled at exploring secret realms with terrain like the Thunderhorn Lizardman Tribe. The price is negotiable."

A business card popped out of his hand.

With a whoosh, it was precisely caught by Chu Hong.

The old man's smile deepened.

Chu Hong glanced at the business card: "Captain of the Falcon Pioneer Team, Donald." Chu Hong's expression was strange. This guy was clearly Chinese, yet he had such a... name.

He smiled and put the business card away.

Step out of the Pigeon Courtyard.

Watching Chu Hong's departing figure, the man who had been drinking with Donald couldn't help but sneer, "Pretty arrogant!"

Donald smiled, but his eyes gleamed with a faint blue light.

"I can't tell his strength..."

As Chu Hong left the black market area, taking advantage of the darkness, his figure, which had been tall and imposing, suddenly began to writhe and twitch as if something was crawling on his body after he turned several alleyways.

Clumps of worm-like things peeled off his body.

They coalesced into a hideous and terrifying smiling worm egg, which was none other than the bright red [Worm Mask] that Chu Hong had obtained from the large free insurance in the [Employee Dormitory].

This bright red effect actually provides Chu Hong with 100% complete disguise.

Not only his physique, temperament, and voice, but even the source energy within his body can be concealed.

It makes it impossible for anyone to discern his true strength and depth.

"Tsk, it's disgusting, but it does make it easier for me to ship the goods..."

Chu Hong returned home.

They immediately entered the Special Operations Division.

The map 【Clifftop Plague Hospital】 was quite rewarding, but it greatly limited his combat effectiveness. He was constantly engaged in assassinations and silent battles, which was not conducive to Chu Hong facing the important assessment next.

Upon arriving at the operations department, two new investigation areas were clearly visible on the light screen.

[Thunderhorn Lizardman Tribe (Normal)]: A lizardman tribe that suddenly appeared in this valley after the Great Cataclysm of Earth due to an unknown force. They are said to come from a magical world. Their high-ranking lizardman leaders and priests possess a power to summon lightning, hence the tribe's name. The lizardman population is estimated to be between four and five hundred. Ignoring magic, their overall level of civilization is roughly comparable to some primitive human tribes. Note: Many things can happen within ten seconds, including death.

[Entry Requirements]: Unrestricted

[Action Time]: 1 hour

[Extremely low probability of obtaining high-value items]: [Dimensional Ring (Red)], [Lizard Priest's Notebook (Red)], [Thunder Dragon Horn (Gold)]

"Four or five hundred enemy units..."

Seeing this, Chu Hong was not nervous at all; instead, a smile appeared on his face.

This is exactly what he wanted!

Open the map of the [Thunderhorn Lizardman Tribe].

There are three spawn points, located at the northwest cliff top intersection, the southwest valley entrance, and the southeast cliff top intersection on the map.

Apart from the outposts on the north and south cliff tops, the main area of ​​the entire lizardman tribe is located in the valley between the two cliffs.

I remembered the spawn point and evacuation point.

Chu Hong slung the "Black Wolf" composite bow over his shoulder, took about twenty arrows, and then picked up the "Battle Blade - Source Blade".

A first-aid kit and a backpack full of bombs.

"Enter the investigation area [Thunderhorn Lizardman Tribe]!"

There was darkness in front of him.

Before his vision had returned, Chu Hong had already keenly sensed the smell of dust.

When the view returned, a watchtower several meters high came into view in the distance.

Chu Hong spotted them immediately: a group of bluish-gray lizardmen pacing atop the watchtower, keeping watch on their surroundings.

He stood at a crossroads, with dense jungle on both sides.

With a flash, Chu Hong had already hidden himself in the jungle. Just as he hid, the lizardman on the watchtower happened to glance in the direction where he had just been standing.

Chu Hong's eyes flashed with coldness.

With the agility of a nimble cat, it swiftly crept towards the watchtower under the cover of the jungle.

"That's about it..."

He took out his composite bow, drew the bow, and nocked an arrow.

"Whoosh!"

A precise and sharp arrow pierced through the temple of the lizardman atop the watchtower in an instant.

The sight of blood startled the lizardman on the same watchtower.

However, immediately afterward, another arrow shot straight at his brow.

"when!"

The commotion eventually attracted a lizardman patrol stationed below the watchtower.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Look! The enemy is there!"

Chu Hong wore a cold smile as he emerged from the jungle without any attempt to conceal his figure.

Immediately, more than a dozen lizardmen roared and charged toward him.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Three powerful spears, radiating energy, instantly shattered the bushes around him.

Wood chips flew everywhere, and branches flew all over the place...

however.

Their reaction speed was incredibly fast. However, to the outside world, Chu Hong was still a prospective pioneer without source energy. In reality, his current strength was enough to silence all his peers at the First Source Energy Middle School—the fourth stage of Origin Awakening!

"Whoosh!"

The Source Blade, glowing with a scarlet light, was released from his hand, followed closely by an arrow.

The lizardman hadn't even had a chance to reach Chu Hong.

Two people had their foreheads pierced through the lunchbox.

Chu Hong's figure flashed past like a blur, and the bloodstained Source Blade was already in his hand again.

"Today, I'm only talking about a fierce attack!"
