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

At the massive city gate of Huangshan Base City's East Gate.

Chu Hong and Wang Suming were riding in an armored vehicle bearing the insignia of the Huangshan Base City Guard. In front of them, Wu Gang and Liu Yanyan, fully armed and wearing stab-proof vests and helmets, were glaring at them with resentment and anger.

Especially Chu Hong.

If their gazes could kill, Chu Hong felt that he probably wouldn't even have a single carbon molecule left.

However, his gaze was more focused on the three pioneers beside Wu Gang and his companion.

One of them was an acquaintance.

Gee...

Donald ignored the anger of Wu Gang and the others around him, and instead looked at Chu Hong and his companion with great interest.

"Have we met before, student?"

Chu Hong smiled and shook his head: "Uncle, even Yan Yan wouldn't pay attention to your flirting techniques."

"Chu Hong! Don't think we can't do anything to you. This is the base city, but once we leave the base city and enter the secret realm, if you get matched with us, just you wait... I'll make sure you're dead!"

When Liu Yanyan said this, the murderous intent in her eyes almost materialized.

obviously.

She wasn't making any threats.

Chu Hong's repeated public sarcasm not only ruined her reputation among her classmates, but the words from the Pioneers Guild also caused countless people to stare at her lower abdomen as she walked out of the guild.

Wu Gang clenched his fists, a sinister smile on his face.

"Chu Hong, I've really given you too much face. Don't let me run into you, or... your father was eaten alive by monsters in the wilderness, leaving only bones. I'll make sure you're shattered to pieces!"

A chilling killing intent flashed in Chu Hong's eyes.

A hand instantly pressed down on Wang Suming's shoulder as he threw a punch, and the latter slumped back down with a thud.

however.

Wu Gang, who had been looking furious and contorted with rage, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat as he felt the punch that had almost grazed his nose.

Donald, sitting next to him, couldn't help but pull down the brim of his cowboy hat.

"Sigh... I've run into another troublesome deal."

Wu Gang swallowed hard, looking at Wang Suming, whose face was flushed red, as if he had just cursed not Chu Hong's relative, but his own father. Wang Suming was glaring at him fiercely.

"You, you've never entered the secret realm before, haven't you...?"

Chu Hong patted Wang Suming's shoulder; the latter was panting and remained silent.

just.

Originally, Wu Gang and Liu Yanyan were the only two people in the carriage, glaring angrily at Chu Hong and Wang Suming. But for the rest of the journey, it was Chu Hong and Wang Suming who were staring at the two of them.

Neither of them made any harsh statements like Wu Gang and his group.

But the murderous intent in his eyes was something anyone could sense.

The armored vehicle swayed as it sped through the wilderness, easily dispatching any low-level monsters it encountered along the way with its machine guns.

soon.

Everyone then noticed that the car was moving much slower.

Wang Suming began packing his things, and Wu Gang and the others in the carriage also immediately started packing.

Almost everyone's weapons were just ordinary firearms or the like.

It was only on Donald and the other two escort pioneers that Chu Hong saw source energy weapons.

"Bang bang bang!"

"We've arrived! Everyone, get off the bus!"

The city guards shouted, and the doors of the armored vehicles immediately opened.

Chu Hong and the others got out of the car and looked up to find themselves on a desolate mountain cliff. At that moment, a semi-transparent energy shield, stretching for at least ten miles, was covering the entire valley.

It resembles an inverted barrier.

On an open space outside this barrier, there was a simple settlement where many people were already active; as far as the eye could see, they were all pioneers.

And...prospective pioneers like Chu Hong and Wang Suming.

"This is the secret realm of the real world..."

When Chu Hong and Wang Suming entered this gathering place, they both immediately saw a ring of swirling light emanating from in front of the semi-transparent barrier.

One after another, fully-equipped pioneer teams entered the area.

"Brother Hong...look, it's Song Jiao'er."

Chu Hong followed Wang Suming's gaze and looked in that direction. Sure enough, he saw Song Jiao'er in the crowd, dressed in a Western magic robe and holding a staff.

Beside them, several of the escorting pioneers bore the mark of the Cube Merchant Guild.

"It's so great to have a family fortune. You don't even need to hire escorts. You can just bring your own bodyguards into the map..." Wang Suming said sourly.

Perhaps sensing the gaze, Song Jiao'er turned her head and happened to see Chu Hong and Wang Suming carrying two huge backpacks.

A look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Clearly, and completely unexpectedly, Chu Hong and his group did not give up and even came to this secret realm.

"Let's go. Just watching won't make what belongs to others ours."

Chu Hong said calmly, and the two of them immediately headed towards the entrance of the secret realm.

After showing their ID cards and passes obtained from the Pioneers Guild, the staff at the entrance merely glanced at them with surprise before letting them through.

Once you leave the base city, you are free.

Even if you want to die, you are free to go and die...

"Whoosh!"

As the two stepped into the halo, Chu Hong felt a flash of white light before his eyes. Immediately afterward, the familiar scent of yellow earth from the cliffs of the [Thunderhorn Lizardman Tribe] gave him a jolt.

You don't even need to open your eyes to see.

Simply by the direction of the airflow, the scent in the air, and the feel underfoot.

Chu Hong suddenly grabbed Wang Suming, who was still in a daze of curiosity, and slipped into the bushes nearby.

ask!

What should you do immediately after landing at the spawn point on the northwest cliff top of the [Thunderhorn Lizardman Tribe]?

A. Launch a fierce attack on the south watchtower! There's a high-value supply chest there.

B. Prepare ropes and carefully descend the mountain from the south cliff to enter the core area.

Based on the intelligence from the Pioneers Guild, or the experience of those veteran pioneer teams, there are undoubtedly only these two options.

however.

Chu Hong grabbed Fatty Wang Suming and rushed towards the high-value resource point deep in the jungle that only he knew about.

"Fatty, prepare the bomb!"

He ran while his hands moved quickly as well.

Red light has begun to condense on the Source Energy Weapon [Source Blade].

Wang Suming was unclear about Chu Hong's purpose, and he didn't understand why Chu Hong seemed so familiar with this secret realm, even though the two of them had been able to play together since childhood.

Wang Suming has an advantage that ordinary people don't have.

They don't pry into things, but they have exceptional execution skills.

He took a bundle of bombs with remote triggers directly from his backpack.

"Brother Hong, where should we bomb it?"

His face showed the tension and excitement of entering the secret realm for the first time, and his voice trembled slightly when he spoke. However, the hand holding the bomb was quite steady.

"etc!"

Chu Hong pulled the other person along and ran, and soon they arrived at the familiar big rock.

The [Source Blade] in his hand, glowing bright red, suddenly slashed at the boulder in Wang Suming's shocked gaze.

"Snap!"

The boulder shattered in the middle, scattering into two pieces amidst the dust and smoke, one on the left and one on the right.

Then, a secret passage with a downward wooden staircase was revealed beneath the boulder.

"Holy crap! Brother Hong, there's another road here?!"

"Give me the bomb, and get the rope ready!"

Chu Hong gave the order, and Wang Suming acted quickly, soon bringing out a bundle of rope. While they were at it, Chu Hong had already finished planting the bombs below.

Tie a rope around your waist.

Chu Hong immediately instructed with a serious expression, "When I yell for you to pull, pull me up with all your might, understand?"

"clear!"

Wang Suming took a deep breath nervously and stood on it to adjust his breathing.

Then he saw Chu Hong reach out and press his hand on a treasure chest below.

Before he could even be shocked as to why Chu Hong knew there was another treasure chest here...

A sudden, sharp shout came from below.

"pull!"

Wang Suming's eyes widened, veins bulged on his forehead, and he strained his arms.

"ah!!!"

"Snap!"

The instant Chu Hong was pulled out of the secret passage, Wang Suming seemed to hear a thunderous sound below.

Followed by.

He saw Chu Hong press the remote control for the bomb in his hand.

"Boom—!"
