Is the closed beta test of King of Loque over? The official release is here!

Outside the magic circle, those at the top of the rankings started a pet PK battle.

Light and shadow flickered wildly, and the brilliance of various skills rose and fell, illuminating the entire forest clearing in a dim and intermittent manner.

"Get out of my way, all of you! This spot is mine! My pet is level 17!"

"Why should I?! I'm level 17 too! Come on, let's see who's better!"

"My sword has never been weak!"

"Take this! Critical Strike Gun!"

To compete for those last four chances to enter the unknown secret realm, these people gave it their all!

One second they were "comrades-in-arms" fighting side by side against Song Chen, and the next second they turned against each other for a single spot.

For a time, a fierce battle broke out outside.

The people inside the magic circle watched the fierce battle outside with varying expressions.

Lin Sen pushed up his glasses, his face still bearing a businesslike smile, as if he were watching a performance that had nothing to do with him.

Niu Kuang watched with great interest, occasionally offering his own commentary.

"Hey! You in the blue shirt, you're so stupid! You could have taken control first!"

"Yes, yes, that's it! Give him a kick from behind!"

Tie Dan, standing beside him, cheered him on, while Er Mao continued to gaze at the sky at a 45-degree angle, as if contemplating life.

Murong Jiao pouted and muttered under her breath, "What a bunch of idiots, they don't fight with any strategy at all."

Fang Xu watched with lingering fear, a chill running down his spine.

Fortunately, he managed to level up by using dragon fruit to get in.

Otherwise, he would have to have a fight with someone else outside.

Even if they could get into the magic circle, their pets would probably lose some of their stats.

Mo Fan's expression was calm; he simply observed the battle quietly, as if analyzing something.

Time passed second by second.

finally--

After another round of fierce fighting, the battle situation came to an end.

Four figures staggered, practically tumbling and crawling as they rushed into the light barrier of the magic circle.

They were all dressed in rags, panting heavily, and most of their pets were also injured. Their eyes showed both relief at surviving a disaster and wariness of the outside world.

Two were from level 17, and two were from level 16.

This is the ultimate victor.

At this point, all eighteen slots have been filled.

The moment the last person stepped into the magic circle—

Om-!

A deep hum resounded, and the pentagram pattern beneath their feet suddenly lit up brightly, with intricate runes circulating at an unprecedented speed.

Chapter 184 Pandonog

A blinding white light rose from the edge of the magic circle, like a wall of light, instantly completely isolating the inner and outer worlds.

Immediately afterwards, the white light suddenly contracted inward, swallowing up everything in sight.

A strong sense of weightlessness suddenly struck, as if I had been thrown into an uncontrollable vortex, and the world was spinning around me.

This process lasted for about ten seconds.

As the dizziness subsided and everyone's vision cleared again, the familiar clearing in the woods had completely disappeared.

Instead, there is a deep and wide canyon.

On both sides are steep stone walls, hundreds of meters high, their surfaces smooth as mirrors, as if cut by the blades of giants. Sunlight streams down from above, but the sky is invisible; the light seems to seep in from the void, casting an eerie warm hue over this secluded place.

Most striking are the enormous cylindrical statues that stand every ten meters along both sides of the canyon. The statues are covered with incomprehensible, twisted runes, and have an ancient and rustic style, exuding an aura of desolation and mystery.

"My God! What kind of place is this?"

The four solo players who were the last to rush into the magic circle looked at the scene before them with shock and bewilderment on their faces.

"Hey!"

A loud voice broke the silence.

Niu Kuang strode over to the nearest stone sculpture, stretched out his large, fan-like hand to feel around on it, and even knocked on it hard, making a dull "bang bang" sound.

"Tiedan, Ermao, do you think if we could move this thing out, we could sell it as an antique for a good price?"

Bald henchman Tie Dan immediately followed, his face full of admiration: "Big brother is absolutely right! This thing looks more valuable than anything in a museum!"

Er Mao kept his hands in his pockets. Upon hearing this, he simply raised his head silently, looking at the sunlight whose source was unknown, his eyes filled with philosophical thoughts of "Who am I? Where am I?"

"..."

On the other side, Fang Xu subconsciously leaned towards Murong Jiao and asked in a low voice, "Big Sister, do you... do you know where this is?"

Murong Jiao crossed her arms, her yellow pigtails swaying behind her head. She carefully examined the stone carvings and runes around her, her brows furrowing slightly.

"I can't quite put my finger on it, but I feel like... I have a vague impression of it."

Beside her, Murong Sha's calm eyes flashed with a hint of understanding. She seemed to have noticed something, but simply watched quietly, without any intention of speaking.

Mo Fan's gaze swept across everything around him, finally settling on the end of the canyon.

There was no exit, only a narrow passage.

A name that had appeared in the early stages of the closed beta test quietly surfaced in his mind.

"This seems to be Pandonog..."

Mo Fan thought to himself, but didn't say it aloud. Everything still needed to be verified.

"Everyone."

Just then, Song Chen's voice rang out.

His face regained its confident and composed smile.

In this unknown and unfamiliar situation, his upbringing, honed through the influence of his powerful family, taught him that speaking first would allow him to seize leadership and then subtly control the situation.

So he cleared his throat and said what everyone already knew.

"At the moment, there doesn't seem to be any danger here, only that one path ahead. Why don't we explore along the passage and see what's at the end?"

Although everyone already knew this, what he said was reasonable, and no one present had any interest in refuting it, so they all nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Song Chen's lips curled into a barely perceptible smug smile. He straightened his collar, struck a leader's pose, and prepared to take the first step and lead the group forward.

however--

"Let's go! What are you dawdling for!"

Niu Kuang's thunderous voice boomed again. With a wave of his hand, he didn't even glance at Song Chen, and led his two loyal henchmen, striding ahead towards the passage.

Song Chen's foot, which was about to be lifted, froze in mid-air.

The vein on his forehead throbbed violently, and an invisible symbol of rage seemed to have materialized above his head.

But he just couldn't have his attack.

We can't possibly argue with a brute over such a trivial matter as who goes first, can we?

That would be too low-class and make you look petty.

"You bastard...you just wait!"

Song Chen could only curse inwardly, then forced a "magnanimous" smile and followed.

The group of eighteen people walked about a hundred meters along the narrow canyon passage.

The road ended.

Ahead, the road was completely blocked by a large pile of collapsed rubble, which had formed a small hill, making it impossible to see what was behind.

The moment everyone stopped, a familiar system notification sounded in everyone's mind.

[Open the Gate to Pandonog Valley: Clear the rubble at the canyon entrance to unlock entry.]

Upon seeing this notification, Mo Fan was certain that it was the place he had guessed.

Song Chen's eyes lit up instantly.

The opportunity is coming!

Having been overshadowed twice by that brute Niu Kuang, this time he must use his absolute strength to get his revenge!

He sneered inwardly, thinking to himself: In terms of destructive power, my level 25 Music Ball can crush the entire field!

"Musical Ball, get ready—"

Song Chen opened his mouth, about to give the order to unleash a dazzling electronic music attack, blasting the rubble into dust and demonstrating his power to everyone, especially the two beautiful sisters.

Unexpectedly, a clear female voice, even faster than his, rang out throughout the entire canyon first.

"Electric Fox, use Convergence Power! Blast those rocks in our way!"

It's Murong Jiao!

She seemed too lazy to observe or think. When she saw something blocking her way, her first reaction was to smash it!

Suddenly, the golden electric fox at her feet was surrounded by a burst of intense electric light. Fine arcs of electricity crackled and gathered above its head, forming a blinding ball of lightning.

next moment!

"boom--!"

A thick beam of lightning suddenly shot out and struck the pile of rubble with precision!

Amidst the deafening explosion, debris flew everywhere, and smoke filled the air.

The entire process, from Murong Jiao opening her mouth to the end of the attack, took no more than two seconds.
