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

"Boom—!"

The terrifying lightning didn't resemble a bolt of lightning descending upon this open space in the core area.

It's as if a massive bomb has been dropped here.

The overwhelming lightning was like a pale tsunami rising from the sea, and the terrifying plasma, carrying the aura of heat and death, rushed towards us.

The gold pocket watch's display case effect is activated!

Start after a 3-second pause!

Without any hesitation, Chu Hong immediately recalled his underlings who were engaged in a human-machine battle with the surrounding [Heavy Lizardman Warriors] and other machines.

Then, in the next second...

His figure instantly appeared behind several of the most troublesome [Lizardman Guard Captains], whose energy fluctuations had reached the ninth level of the Energy Gathering Realm and were just a step away from the Core Condensation Realm.

The time-stop effect has ended.

The faces of the several [Lizardman Guard Captains] changed drastically with horror.

The humans who should have been in front of them suddenly appeared behind them and locked them tightly together.

They wanted to avoid it.

however.

But it was already too late.

"......"

The sound seemed to be completely swallowed up in the blinding pale lightning.

Chu Hong's face was contorted with rage. The intense burning sensation of the electric current made every cell in his body feel as if it were collapsing in excruciating pain. In an instant, his body, along with all the lizardmen around him, collapsed.

They all crumbled and turned to ashes.

[Chief's Council Chamber] [Grain Depot] [Warehouse] [Sacrificial Altar]...

All the buildings in the core area were reduced to dust and ashes before this terrifying forbidden lightning magic.

Click-clack.

One by one, the searchable containers, perhaps due to the mandatory restrictions and protection of the rules, fell haphazardly to the ground, scattered throughout this huge, dark pit.

"......"

Casal was slightly out of breath as his body slowly landed on the ground as the thunderstorm dissipated.

In the pitch-black pit that had almost become glassy.

The two dark figures, now charred, were completely still.

The red light disappeared from Casal's eyes. When he came to his senses, he looked around at everything, and his face, covered with bluish-green keratinous scales, instantly showed obvious astonishment and confusion.

"What... what is this...?"

His gaze was vacant, fixed on the leader, [Thunderhorn Dragon Knight - Tyrannical Spear - Molov], who had been reduced to charred remains, and the other's mount, [Thunderhorn Dragon].

With a clang.

The staff slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

Molov's terrifying spear was still piercing through the Thunderhorn Dragon's heart, emerging from its back.

however.

It was precisely this spear that killed the [Thunderhorn Dragon] that became the final straw that broke Molov's back in Kassar's forbidden spell.

"Molov!" Casal cried out in horror, looking around. The only thing that could be seen in the entire [Thunderhorn Lizardman Tribe] was the watchtowers on the cliff tops on both sides.

There are also traces of the tribe's survivors.

At this moment, there is not a trace of life to be seen in the entire core area.

Just as Casal was feeling lost, a sudden burst of green light shone abruptly on one side of the charred and devastated pit.

Casal's expression tightened.

With a whoosh, the staff on the ground flew back into his hand, and the next second, he saw a human figure appear out of nowhere, amidst specks of green light, as if reborn.

It appeared before his eyes.

Before his mind was controlled by that terrifying power, fragments of memories flooded into Casal's mind, causing his eyes to immediately blaze with murderous intent the moment he saw Chu Hong's face.

"It's you! You damned bug!"

Without hesitation, he was about to raise his staff again to kill Chu Hong.

however.

The next second, his eyes suddenly met Chu Hong's.

[Without the Shield of Curses] Display case effect activated!

Chu Hong's eyes shone with a cold light.

He stared at Casal with the same look he had on a fish on a chopping board.

Casal raised his staff, but the next second, the surging magic within him seemed to rise up as if all the magic within him had revolted. The originally docile magic instantly burst forth from every pore of his body, the gaps in his scales, and even from his mouth, nose, and seven orifices.

It burst forth.

"Ahhhhh!"

It felt as if one's internal organs had been thrown into scalding lava.

Compared to the pain Chu Hong had just endured, the damage was several times more intense, and in an instant, it was something Casar couldn't understand or resist.

It erupted with a deafening roar!

"Bang!"

It was like a balloon being popped and exploded.

A large hole suddenly burst open in Casal's chest, and then he knelt down on the ground, swaying twice.

He collapsed to the ground with a thud...

[Grand Master, Thor's Madman, Casal], dead!

"Ha, what good is your fighting ability? What good is your powerful magic?"

"My parameters are superior to yours!"

Despite the lingering, sharp pains coursing through his body, Chu Hong's lips curled into a smug smile.

If you're going to cheat, then cheat properly.

Even though it's already open, why bother with ridiculous moral constraints, like whether it's too much of a bully to the other side?

Chu Hong wouldn't do something so stupid.

A red light shone forth.

The underlings he had previously taken under his wing immediately reappeared by his side, full of energy.

At this moment, the entire secret realm was now only occupied by the lizardmen on the north and south cliff tops.

These, if classified as top secret, could all serve as bosses or elite monsters, specifically the lizardman androids.

For others, this might not be an easy opponent, but for Chu Hong, who had already pushed the parameters to their limits, it was only a matter of time.

The watchtower on the south cliff top is handed over to [Thunderhorn], [Original Little Ape], [Ba Xiaoying], and [Tu Xiaochu].

Chu Hong was carrying [Ke Xiaoken].

They charged straight up to the top of the north cliff.

[Hell Level - Thunderhorn Lizardman Tribe] Time Remaining: 07:39

"Click..."

The Lizardman Elite Captain, whose scales had mostly fallen off due to the corrosive effects of the potent poison, struggled, but ultimately succumbed to the force of Ken's tentacles.

His neck was snapped in an instant.

A smile involuntarily appeared on Chu Hong's face.

"I didn't dare to stop for a moment, and I even used so many cheats, and it still took me 23 minutes to clear the map..." Chu Hong exhaled.

His gaze then turned fiery as he immediately looked at the supplies in the secret realm, especially the high-value ones.

Climb to the top of the south watchtower.

Unlike the ordinary model, high-value goods are presented in a simple and unadorned manner.

At this moment, the small, unprotected [Thunderhorn Lizardman Captain's Treasure Chest] located at the top of the tower is emitting bursts of crimson light mixed with gold.

"This doesn't look like something easy..."

Chu Hong was overjoyed and reached out to press it without hesitation.
