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

The effect of the lv1 display case for "Pot of Power and Desire".

It can control any target and select another target as its "mortal enemy".

Originally, this was Chu Hong's ultimate skill when he split the bosses into multiple groups to clear the [Hell-level Thunderhorn Lizardman Tribe] dungeon, but now it's only useful because of the current situation with a single boss.

They were so embarrassed that they had no choice but to resort to this suicidal tactic...

A terrifying force surged into Dr. Hoffman's brain the instant his consciousness was completely suppressed by the monster.

The boss, who was rapidly regenerating and struggling to crawl towards the gate, suddenly froze.

Then.

A grotesque, centipede-like long, bone-spiked whip suddenly pierced through the spine on his back.

Holy crap!

"Bang!"

Chu Hong's body slammed heavily against the wall, and his lower body, including Xiao Long's, was completely whipped into a pile of mangled flesh by this one lash.

The intense pain nearly made Chu Hong's eyes pop out, and in that instant...

The boss, who had been struggling to escape towards the door, suddenly turned around and pounced on Chu Hong.

"roar--!"

Its hideous, gaping maw has completely lost any human characteristics.

It took a bite and aimed at Chu Hong's head.

"Snap!"

In my imagination, the head, which should have been swallowed whole like picking fruit, suddenly produced a metallic clang as it collided with the fangs.

With a "clang!", the monster's head was flung off.

[Monkey Demon Stone] Level 1 Display Case Effect, activated!

Immunizes against one fatal head injury!

Chu Hong barely maintained his consciousness for that moment, and a flash of red light appeared around him.

He activated and summoned several red-quality figurines and props, including Kraken, Yuan Xiaoyuan, Ba Xiaoying, and Tu Xiaochu.

"Snap!"

The heavy thud of the gate hitting the ground was followed by a powerful, bone-chilling blast of toxic mist erupting from all sides of the underground freezer.

A thick layer of ice crystals began to spread rapidly.

"roar!"

Hoffman struggled frantically, his body, already torn to pieces by Chu Hong, now facing the onslaught of four large creatures.

Although the current energy level of the Krakens is basically still at the Energy Gathering stage.

But... being the final straw that broke the boss's back was enough.

"......"

Three minutes later.

The door to the underground freezer slowly opened after it was confirmed that there were no signs of life inside.

A torrent of cold air, like a cloud of frigid white mist, surged out from the gate and condensed into another layer of frost on the ground.

Within the shimmering ice crystals, several enormous figures stood motionless, like ice sculptures.

Suddenly, a faint green light appeared in a corner.

【The Curse of the Non-Attacker】lv1 display case, has the effect of reflecting damage upon death.

Along with the terrifying killing mechanism of the [Underground Cryogenic Storage], there's even a boss like Hoffman who can regenerate even when his head and heart are blown to pieces.

At this moment, under the combined effect of the two, it finally turned into an ice sculpture that remained completely still.

The effect of the "Mother of the Forest" display case is activated, and Chu Hong is resurrected.

however.

Looking at this horrific scene before my eyes.

The four red-quality figurines, namely 【Ke Xiaoken】【Yuan Xiaoyuan】【Ba Xiaoying】【Tu Xiaochu】, were all transformed into ice sculptures, all to suppress the boss who was left with only a "sliver of health".

With Chu Hong's resurrection.

Several huge ice sculptures in front of them shattered and disappeared into specks of red light.

"Phew... Damn it, even if three hellish lizardman bosses teamed up, they might not be a match for this Hoffman..."

Chu Hong was still shaken. This [Hell-level Clifftop Plague Hospital] was something that, apart from him, no one else in the team would be able to handle.

Even he himself almost got into trouble today.

[Remaining time in the Secret Realm]: 14:39.

"Damn it..."

Chu Hong reached out and placed his hand on the corpse of boss Hoffman, which was no longer recognizable as human.

Searching for the boss [Spyru Kylimont Hoffman]: ...

A black box appears during the search.

Within the black frame, the densely packed outlines of objects made Chu Hong gasp in shock.

Seven items!

Two 1×1 single cells.

A 1x2 grid of two squares.

A 1x4 four-square grid.

Two 2x2 four-square grids.

Then... a 3x3 nine-square grid!

Chu Hong's breathing became somewhat rapid. Looking at the arrangement of the items, it was as if the pain of Xiaolong being whipped to pieces by the boss's spine whip had been greatly comforted.

The search icon started spinning...

One second, two seconds, three seconds... Chu Hong stared intently at the first item.

As the red light bloomed, a familiar object immediately appeared in Chu Hong's hand.

【Cobweb Brain-Computer Interaction】!

Although the unit price is only 47, its usefulness to Chu Hong is almost one of the most practical among the many red collectibles.

Good start!

The second unit has started rotating!

"Gold, or red..." Chu Hong asked expectantly.

"Ding!"

The red light shone again.

This time, what appeared in Chu Hong's hand was a two-in-one pendant-like object, with two pendants fastened together. One side was a large emerald, and the other side was a silver mirror, only the size of a pigeon's egg...

[Item Description]: Originally a priceless gemstone pendant, it underwent an irreversible biomass transformation during an extreme and abnormal energy reaction, causing all living beings in the vicinity to indiscriminately enter a chaotic and disordered illusion.

It's a new kind of red that I've never encountered before!

Chu Hong's breath hitched. Although it looked like a piece of jewelry for crafts and collectibles, it actually displayed "source energy matter." In other words, if he wanted, he could even take this thing to the [Martial Arts Training Room] to try to fuse with it.

Without wasting time checking the item's details, it was directly placed into the [Imperial Preceptor's Treasure Box].

Time is tight.

The [Hell-level - Clifftop Plague Hospital] also requires clearing the map before the only evacuation point, the [East Cliff Cableway], will be unlocked.

Currently, there are still a large number of mutated zombies waiting for him to eliminate at the [Beast Research Laboratory].

Searching for 1x2 items...

Ding!

This time it's Xiao Jin.

Fenrir's Fang

The 1x4 grid begins to rotate.

Ding!

Under Chu Hong's excited gaze, the red light shone once more.

It was a long, silver-white briefcase, resembling a gun case used to hold guns in a movie.
