[Item Level]: Red

[Type]: Energy Source Material

【Weight】: 80kg

[Occupies backpack slot capacity]: 3×3

[Item Description]: The egg of the Thunderhorn Dragon, a ferocious and warlike dragon from the otherworldly dragon race. Even as a juvenile, the Thunderhorn Dragon can cast rudimentary lightning magic and possesses sharp teeth and claws capable of tearing through steel. Adult Thunderhorn Dragons, having acquired the ability to fly, are known as the "Sky Thunder Dragon."

Chu Hong's pupils contracted.

He glanced behind him at Wang Suming and Song Jiao'er, who were unaware of what was happening.

Simply put the items into your backpack.

At the same time, his eyes were fixed on the open space in front of the stone tablet. He took a deep breath and silently noted down the location in his running knife intelligence book.

"Isn't the drop rate ridiculously low? Huangshan Base City has been developing this secret realm for decades, and not a single person has ever gotten such a rare red item?"

Chu Hong was skeptical; perhaps someone else had also produced such a large quantity.

However, they all chose to conceal and hide the truth immediately.

Just like him now...

Song Jiao'er and Wang Suming both came to help.

Hundreds of lizardman warriors quickly turned into a pile of "containers" lying on the ground, ready to be searched.

Wang Suming stood with one foot on the corpse of a lizardman warrior. The heavy shield and armor he was wearing were putting too much strain on him.

At this moment, he was chewing on a [Kali Fruit] that he had collected along the way, recovering the loss of his body's source energy.

"So, this counts as clearing out the entire image now?"

Wang Suming's face showed the exhilarating feeling of having just finished a battle.

Today, he is no longer just a bystander who can only follow Chu Hong around and freeload off him.

Instead, he was truly promoted to become a teammate who could provide him with support and assistance.

With a thud, the heavy shield in his hand crashed to the ground.

Wang Suming chuckled and winked at Chu Hong.

"Brother Hong, wasn't my charge and shield block just now cool? Ever since you gave me this big shield yesterday, I've been practicing weighted charges all the time. I never thought I'd actually use it today. Hahahaha!"

He laughed heartily.

There were still at least forty minutes before they had to leave the secret realm.

In other words, the next forty minutes or so would be their time to collect loot, allowing them to thoroughly enjoy the entire core area.

however.

Chu Hong glanced indifferently toward the warehouse on one side.

"Don't rush, it's clear that some friends don't seem very willing to evacuate safely."

He said coldly.

Beside her, Song Jiao'er had already waved her magic wand.

"Fireball!"

With the source energy activated, a fireball instantly flew towards the thatched hut in front of the warehouse.

As the explosion rang out, several disheveled figures were immediately revealed amidst gasps of surprise.

"No! Don't do it! Don't do it! Song Jiao'er, don't do it!"

"We're on the same side! We're on the same side! Don't lay a hand on me, Song, the school beauty!"

Listen to the names used in those shouts.

Chu Hong remained expressionless, but Song Jiao'er's brows furrowed slightly.

This is a full squad of three men and two women.

Everyone was armed with ungraded firearms and looked disheveled, but now that they had been discovered, they stood in front of Chu Hong and the others with excited smiles on their faces.

"Song Jiao'er, we're also from No. 1 Middle School. I didn't expect to run into you here."

"I'm also from No. 1 Middle School, I'm from Class 3 of the Pioneer Program..."

"I'm in Class 1."

Song Jiao'er frowned: "You haven't evacuated yet?"

Her eyes swept over the people present, and seeing their eager and excited gazes as they looked at the corpses of lizardmen warriors scattered all around them, she instantly understood their intentions.

Upon seeing this, the handsome young man who was leading the group and was holding the only weapon among the five that looked like a collectible item stepped forward with a smile.

"Song Jiao'er, I'm Jiang Minghao from the Pioneer Class 1 next door... We've met before; we even sparred during our combat training."

The young man named Jiang Minghao spoke with a smile, but when he saw Chu Hong and Wang Suming beside Song Jiao'er, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "No wonder she is the young lady of the Rubik's Cube Chamber of Commerce."

The escort equipment is absolutely dazzling.

Then, my heart burned even hotter.

"We landed on the cliff on the south side of the secret realm. After defeating the lizardmen at the outpost, we heard noises coming from the core area below and thought we'd come and help..."

"laugh....."

Wang Suming, who was silently touching the containers with Chu Hong, was so amused by this statement that even a fool wouldn't believe that he couldn't hold back his laughter.

He let out a soft chuckle.

however.

This soft laugh made the men and women behind Jiang Minghao look somewhat embarrassed.

Song Jiao'er shook her head.

"As you can see now, we've cleared the map. All the lizardman warriors in the core area, including the boss, have been dealt with. You can now proceed to the extraction point with peace of mind."

With that, Song Jiao'er turned around and prepared to start searching the container with Chu Hong and the others without looking back.

Apart from the first high-value container we touched, the [Cassal Treasure], we haven't touched any of the other high-value containers on this map yet.

Jiang Minghao's face darkened for a moment.

however.

Looking around, there was no danger other than them, so they could explore the core area with peace of mind.

His inner greed ultimately led him to take another step forward.

"Wait! Song Jiao'er, we're all classmates, and besides, I see there are still so many resources here. No one has come down to the valley entrance this time, so it should be enough for both of our teams to eat their fill, right?"

"We're all classmates, so how about... we just eat the leftovers and scraps?"

Upon hearing this, several men and women behind him were also tempted.

"Yes, Song Jiao'er, we didn't have time to search for any containers after we came down from the top of the cliff. My backpack is still empty."

"There are only three of you, so you can take all the high-value collectibles, and we'll just eat the little blue and purple ones..."

You say something to everyone, and I say something.

It was as if if Song Jiao'er refused at any moment, she would become some kind of heartless villain.

however.

They not only overestimated Song Jiao'er's current status in the team, but also underestimated the education she received from the prestigious family in Huangshan Base City.

"roll!"

A single, ordinary word can feel like a resounding slap in the face.

They slapped hard across the faces of Jiang Minghao and the others, whose faces already showed a look of determination.

"We cleared out all the monsters in the core area. Do you think you can take advantage of our entire team based on your so-called 'classmate friendship'?"

A faint light shimmered at the tip of Song Jiao'er's magic wand.

His eyes were cold, showing no trace of joking.

"Your so-called classmate camaraderie, in this secret realm, will only make me spare your lives and allow you to leave the evacuation point safely, taking with you your spoils!"

Chu Hong and Wang Suming exchanged a glance and smiled faintly at each other.

Actually, if Song Jiao'er had agreed to Jiang Minghao's request without consulting them, it would have been better.

Chu Hong and Wang Suming wouldn't say anything.

It's simply a matter of reclaiming the items at the final evacuation point.

of course.

If that's the case, Chu Hong will have to consider how to ensure that Song Jiao'er keeps all the secrets she saw today forever.

"you......"

Jiang Minghao's face darkened. He hadn't expected Song Jiao'er to be so disrespectful.

however.

Before he could say anything...

Song Jiao'er had already swung her magic wand.

Chain Lightning!

A lightning spell, its power deliberately weakened, was unleashed, instantly engulfing everyone, including Jiang Minghao.

Amidst the crackling sound of electricity.

The five people screamed and convulsed as they collapsed to the ground.

Song Jiao'er looked down at Jiang Minghao, who was lying on the ground, his face contorted and twitching with anger and pain.

"If I find out you haven't left... you'll stay in this secret realm forever!"
