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

A crimson light burst forth!

The sudden turn of events caused the Luochuan team members, who were about to enter the [Ancient Shrine Stage], to pause in their tracks.

It's turned red?

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Song Jiao'er's hand.

When the red light faded and everyone could clearly see what was in her hand, they all gasped in shock.

"Holy crap... a red-quality weapon?!"

Chu Hong was also shocked. The value of Miss Song's lucky charm was still rising!

All I saw was...

A long, slender Western-style rapier, about a meter long, with a blade about two or three centimeters wide.

Unlike traditional Western rapiers, this sword features a golden hilt that resembles intertwined flower branches, adorned with two small pearl-colored flowers, giving the entire sword a graceful and agile appearance.

Song Jiao'er's eyes shone brightly as she looked at the slender sword in her hand, her face filled with excitement and affection.

This looks like it's for women.

"Zanfeng..."

She murmured softly the name of the rapier.

Chu Hong's eyes flashed, and information about the Western sword in Song Jiao'er's hand appeared before him.

[Item Description]: The sword's aesthetic fulcrum is based on multiple contrasts of "softness and strength," "flower and blade," and "East and West." The sword's owner transformed the Western sword blade into the shape of a flower hairpin she wore daily—using the body of a weapon to adorn herself with flowers, concealing the intent of killing within the elegance of a lady's quarters. "Those who use flowers as blades must first learn to conceal their sharpness within their bloom."

"Holy crap! A red-quality weapon?! What incredible luck!"

A gasp interrupted their thoughts, and Chu Hong looked calmly at Sun Luoshan and the others.

Two people at the Core Condensation Realm and three people at the seventh or eighth level of the Energy Gathering Realm.

In the past, he would have been a real handful.

But the past is the past, and the present is the present...

His cheat program has been updated countless times.

This distance also activates the [Golden Pocket Watch] display case effect four times.

With the added effect of the dazzling [Lightning Strike Divine Disc] at level 1 fusion, and the terrifying [Forbidden Spell - Thunder God's Judgment Spear], he was instantly confident that this team could wipe out the opposing team in one fell swoop.

Song Jiao'er's eyes were slightly wary, and her hand holding the [Western Swift Sword - Hairpin Flower] tightened slightly.

however.

Compared to her.

At this moment, Chu Hong's calm and unwavering gaze, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, was even more intimidating. Just a glance at Sun Luoshan was enough to make the latter's face stiffen.

A chill ran down my spine and straight to my head.

Chu Hong's calm gaze made Sun Luoshan feel that his eyes were not looking at a living person, nor were they threatening; they were looking at a dead person.

That's like... looking at a target!

A target that can be smashed with a simple flick of the wrist!

"Xiao Zhang! Shut up!"

Sun Luoshan hurriedly shouted at the team member behind him who had just shouted.

Then he looked at Chu Hong with a gentle smile: "Congratulations! Don't worry, you were the ones who killed that boss. In this secret realm, whoever finds it keeps it. Take it without worry, we won't break the rules!"

The people beside him wanted to say something, but were stopped by a cold look from Qingniao.

Both she and Sun Luoshan are people who spend most of their time in classified, or even top-secret, secret realms.

Who can be offended, and who cannot?

This requires a gut feeling, and the two people in front of him, especially Chu Hong, exuded a terrifying aura from head to toe that could be described as the underworld.

Offending this person could mean meeting your maker any second.

Seeing this, Chu Hong nodded slightly.

He then gestured to Song Jiao'er with his eyes and continued to touch the other containers.

He calmly watched Sun Luoshan and the others the whole time. He was actually thinking. It had only been a few minutes since the game started, and it was because Sun Luoshan and the others had accepted the benchmark mission.

This scared the other teams into retreating early.

Apart from those two teams, there was no one else in the entire secret realm.

In other words... killing Sun Luoshan and his group would not only allow them to enjoy the equipment of their entire team, but also give them all the resources of the entire secret realm.

Chu Hong is moral, but he is also a person whose moral bottom line is very flexible.

Just as Chu Hong was pondering that he couldn't really just be Miss Song's protector this time and leave empty-handed... and his gaze towards Sun Luoshan and the others was somewhat strange.

Suddenly, another gasp came from behind.

"Chu, Chu Hong, I've gotten another red!"

Chu Hong was startled and turned around, only to see Song Jiao'er standing next to the paper doll of [Ju-on Paper Doll - Shadow Clown], holding a small red ball in her hand.

This thing looks familiar, like... a clown's nose?!

Gan!

Who the hell would want this kind of red?!

Chu Hong turned around abruptly, and this time, his gaze toward Sun Luoshan and the others was filled with undisguised malice.

Who said that just because you guys don't make a move, I, Chu Hong, can't?

I'm an orphan...

Chu Hong's lips curled into a chilling smile, his right eye glowing red as the [Cliff Young's Scarlet Eye] display case effect was activated.

Coupled with his demeanor, Sun Luoshan and Qingniao, along with the other five members of the Luochuan team, instinctively felt a strong aura of death.

Sun Luoshan's expression changed.

"Friend, we are both at the Core Condensation Realm. Our team hasn't even touched the container since the start of the game. If you kill us, you won't get anything, and you'll just have two more enemies for nothing."

He didn't even have the confidence to say something like, "I'm at the Core Condensation Realm, do you think you can kill us?"

however.

The chilling aura of death did not dissipate because of his words. On the contrary, upon hearing this, a flash of red light appeared in Chu Hong's hand.

A hand axe, brimming with savagery and ferocity, appeared in Chu Hong's hand amidst the horrified gasps of Sun Luoshan and the others.

Another red-quality weapon!!!

And it's a perfect fusion?!

Big trouble!

Sun Luoshan and Qingniao exchanged a glance, their hearts sinking deeply.

Just when the group thought that things were not going to end well today, Song Jiao'er's delighted voice came from behind Chu Hong again.

"Chu Hong! Red! Another red outfit!"

What?!

Sun Luoshan and the others were startled. Although the voice was so beautiful it was like heavenly music, they all turned around and looked at Song Jiao'er in disbelief.

Chu Hong also turned around.

In Song Jiao'er's hand was a dark red whistle that exuded an ominous aura!

[The "Wooden Man" Whistle]?

Chu Hong's eyes lit up slightly. He currently had one of these items in his [Big Red Collection Room], but he had never had the chance to upgrade it to level 1. He never expected that Song Jiao'er would find it.

At the same time, Sun Luoshan saw the whistle and hurriedly spoke up.

"Brother, this is a good thing. It's my source core! Don't be fooled by its price tag of only 270,000. It can sell for more than 1.8 million on the market. Many people, like me, choose it as their source core."

Upon hearing this, Chu Hong turned around and gave a deep look to the nervous Sun Luoshan and the others.

Only then did he slowly abandon his earlier idea of ​​exchanging non-existent driftwood for energy points.

At this moment, Song Jiao'er handed the clown nose she had just used to Chu Hong.
