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

"Is this what it feels like to be a boss...?"

Chu Hong looked at the flashing information on the screen in front of him, and the smile on his face was somewhat eerie.

Just now in the secret realm, the feeling of transforming into a hunter and relentlessly chasing down those cabinet members still makes me feel incredibly refreshed whenever I think about it.

"It's a shame that all the equipment in the ordinary cabinets from Amaterasu Country is so rubbish?"

"Seven or eight people, and not a single piece of gold-quality equipment, huh..."

Chu Hong muttered to himself.

however.

He was quite pleased with himself as he put the [Phantom Alloy Ingot] he had acquired into his warehouse.

They also gathered up all the blue and purple quality equipment they had acquired this time, so that Lao Tang and the others could deliver it to the Magic Cube Merchant Guild later.

On the other side is Amaterasu Country.

Abashiri Base City.

Inside the city lord's mansion.

"You idiot, do you know what you're saying? That's a [Phantom Alloy Ingot], something even the big shots in Kyoto would fight tooth and nail for. How could it possibly be in a small, top-secret realm?"

"You bastard, are you trying to fool the lord?!"

The warrior who had "escaped death" from the secret realm knelt on the ground in humility and fear. He had just recounted everything that had happened in the secret realm and mentioned the [Phantom Alloy Ingot] when he immediately drew angry rebukes from the two warrior commanders on his left and right.

"Lord Fujiwara, this guy is clearly spouting nonsense. If they really encountered such a powerful enemy, how could they possibly have come back alive?"

The lord of Abashiri Base Castle, Fujiwara no Ichimitsu, is already sixty years old. Although the support of energy makes him look relatively younger, the signs of aging on his face are very obvious.

Faced with the questions from the two samurai on the left and right.

Fujiwara no Ichimitsu, however, looked calmly at the samurai in front of him.

"What's your name?"

"I am, I am Nomura Rokuro..."

"Very well, Nomura-kun. I will have someone take you into that new secret realm you mentioned once more. Do you dare to go with me?" Fujiwara no Ikko's voice was calm, but a flash of killing intent appeared in his dim yellow eyes.

If Nomura Rokuro dared to refuse, he would be dragged out and beheaded in the next second...

Clearly, the latter isn't stupid either.

After hearing this, he nodded hurriedly.

"Alright! I'm willing! However... Lord City Lord, I'm absolutely certain I've seen the [Phantom Alloy Ingot], but I can't guarantee I'll encounter it again..."

"Baka!" The warrior beside Fujiwara Ichimitsu roared in anger, but he gently raised his hand to stop him.

"Don't worry, I'm not someone who kills innocent people indiscriminately. Besides, if the intelligence is true, you've done a great service to the City Lord's Mansion... As long as their investigation reveals that the difficulty of the secret realm is higher than the classified level, you'll be fine."

Rokuro Nomura breathed a sigh of relief.

They were led away by someone.

After everyone had left the room, Fujiwara no Ichimitsu took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and walked into the charming little courtyard with its snowy scenery.

"If the Fujiwara family can obtain the [Phantom Alloy Ingot], then I will tear you all to pieces, including those damned Seven Hells at the Shingu Dojo..."

Fujiwara no Ichimitsu's men acted swiftly.

Just as Chu Hong was happily chatting with Fatty and the others about the [Limited-Time Challenge Mode], [Hell Level - Clifftop Plague Hospital], and bringing out several big red items...

A notification immediately came from the [Base Island] side.

"Oh? A pioneer at the Core Formation Realm has entered the secret realm?!"

Chu Hong's eyes lit up.

For him, a pioneer at the Core Condensation Realm is equivalent to a level 1 red collectible display case!

The key point is that this is still in a secret realm.

If a pioneer in the Core Condensation Realm dies, they can repair the Source Core after leaving the area.

If they come in again... then it'll be another batch of chives.

"Hehehe."

With this in mind, Chu Hong entered the [Base Island] again without hesitation.

As soon as Chu Hong entered the secret realm from God's perspective, he noticed that the three teams that entered this round had very similar equipment styles and designs, and each of them also had two "Fujiwara" characters on their bodies.

"The people from the City Lord's Mansion..." Chu Hong's lips curled up slightly. Jiang Xingdong had told him a lot about the situation in Abashiri Base City, and he had also done a lot of research himself.

It is said that the current lord of the Abashiri base castle is the head of the Fujiwara family.

A pioneer at the eighth level of the Core Condensation Realm.

He could be considered a powerful figure in his own right.

"Wow, three Core Formation Realm experts have arrived all at once?"

Chu Hong's smile deepened. Among the three teams, the leader, who was clearly the captain, was a Core Condensation Realm cultivator.

They will land at the following landing points: Southwest Wilderness, Eastern Bridge, and Wilderness Jungle.

This round was completely dominated by the Abashiri Base Castle Lord's Mansion.

Nomura Rokuro and his team landed in the [Southwest Wilderness] location this round.

Among the group, the leader, a warrior at the third stage of the Core Formation Realm with a katana hanging at his waist and a strangely shaped scarecrow on his back, glanced northwards at the several lizardman watchtowers that were clearly visible.

A flash of surprise crossed his eyes.

"Even the most basic monsters are at the sixth or seventh level of the Energy Gathering Realm... You're not lying. This secret realm, even if it's not top secret, is certainly not a regular classified secret..."

Rokuro Nomura breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lord Yamamoto, you jest. How could I dare to deceive Lord Fujiwara? I truly saw the [Phantom Alloy Ingot] in an underground area to the east..."

The samurai leader, known as Yamamoto, nodded, just about to say something.

Suddenly, the gold-quality [Battlefield Communicator] at his waist emitted a buzzing sound.

Then came the excited voice of another samurai commander.

"Moshi moshi, moshi moshi... This is Otowa Ishizumi, Yamamoto-kun, Kuroki-kun, can you hear me?"

"That guy Rokuro Nomura might not have been lying... This secret realm is strange. Right in front of our landing point, on a supply crate in the wilderness, there's a red-quality [Precious Gold Watch] worth over 300,000 Energy Points lying in the open."

"Incredible..."

A look of surprise flashed in Yamamoto's eyes.

He took a deep breath, and a burning feeling gradually rose in his heart.

He looked at Rokuro Nomura: "Now, take us to that underground area you mentioned immediately!"

Under Chu Hong's God-like perspective.

The three teams decisively headed towards the abandoned underground anatomy center in the east.

On the way, the team that landed at the Eastern Bridge also found the bait that Chu Hong had prepared for them: a Golden Apple, which wasn't very valuable, only worth about 100,000, but was a genuine red-quality collectible.

"It's...it's right here..."

Rokuro Nomura, slightly out of breath, pointed down.

He had no idea what was going on below.

However, there's nothing more he needs to do.

The three teams immediately began to make assignments, leaving a few people to guard the entrance to prevent any possible accidents.

The other two teams, Yamamoto's squad and Otowa's squad, entered the [Abandoned Underground Dissection Center].

After taking care of the few scattered mutated zombies underground, they kept a close watch on the road.

Everyone looked at each other.

"Didn't they say there were hundreds of these monsters, and even a boss? Could it be that there wasn't a boss in this round?" This scenario isn't impossible.

Some bosses in secret realms don't appear in every game.

"Spread out and search the containers... Two people per group, one to search and the other to keep watch," Yamamoto ordered.

As the team members dispersed, they began to explore the containers one by one.

The advanced toolbox (high-value container) on the hoisting platform was also quickly discovered, and then...

"Report, Captain! Nine slots! Nine slots have appeared inside a high-value container!"

The team members' shocked shouts sent a chill down the spines of both Yamamoto and Otoha.

Nine grids?!

Massaka...

When the red light flashed and they looked up, their pupils constricted sharply when they saw that the team member had a blue-green metal ingot in his hand.

And in that very instant...

A powerful melody resounded in everyone's ears.

"Ta-da... ta-da... ta-da..."
