"Hurry up and tell me! Stop keeping me in suspense!"

"Large areas outside the city are sealed off by thick fog, making it impossible to enter. Those places are most likely the location of the entrance to the secret realm!"

"What?! Then let's hurry up and wait outside the city!"

"What are you thinking? Those places are already completely surrounded by officials; you can't get close at all!"

Hearing these comments, Mo Fan couldn't help but frown.

He was all alone, without any powerful backing, and his information channels were already closed, so he only knew the basics of the situation outside the city.

This is the fatal weakness of going it alone; one is far less well-informed than those powerful forces.

He turned to Zhao Mingyuan and Feng Ling'er beside him and asked in a low voice, "Have you two received any inside information? About the entrance to the secret realm?"

Both of them shook their heads helplessly, clearly like him, knowing nothing about the specifics of the secret realm.

Mo Fan wasn't too disappointed. The area outside the city was vast, and no one could accurately predict which misty region the secret realm would open in. Even the government could only disperse its forces and station them in various places, with elite teams on standby at any time.

“In that case, let’s head out of the city first.” Mo Fan immediately made the decision. “Once the secret realm opens and the location is marked on the map, we can get there as soon as possible and not fall too far behind.”

Chapter 46 The Secret Realm Opens!

Feng Ling'er and Zhao Mingyuan exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement. The three of them then set off and hurried towards the outskirts of the city.

When they arrived at the edge of the city, it was exactly eight o'clock in the morning.

[Ding! The designated time has arrived, and the first wilderness secret realm has officially opened! The location of the secret realm has been marked on the map; players can go there on their own!]

A crisp system notification sound rang in the minds of all players at the same time, and a dazzling red dot suddenly lit up on everyone's map interface, clearly indicating the direction of the secret realm.

In an instant, players in Yunhai City surged like a tide, rushing towards the light spot, their noise and footsteps echoing throughout the suburbs.

Of course, some people did not go.

Although the secret realm is tempting, it is certainly fraught with danger.

Whether out of cowardice or self-awareness, these people made their own choices.

"Let's go! Let's set off too!" Mo Fan shouted, leading Zhao Mingyuan and Feng Ling'er, and quickly headed towards the coordinates of the secret realm. This place was not far from the entrance, and it would take about half an hour to reach it.

Meanwhile, in the center of a misty area guarded by the authorities, a huge pale blue portal appeared out of thin air, its halo slowly rotating, seemingly both real and illusory, exuding an air of mystery.

Upon seeing this, the official team members stationed there immediately reported the situation to headquarters via communicator:

"Minister Xia! The entrance to the secret realm has opened! A blue portal has appeared!"

Upon receiving the news, Minister Xia immediately issued the order, his tone leaving no room for doubt:

"Members stationed in this area who possess pets of level five or above shall immediately enter the secret realm to explore; members below level five shall remain in place and shall not move without authorization!"

He then turned to look at Xie Yun beside him, his expression solemn:

"Captain Xie, you must immediately lead your team into the secret realm. Be extremely careful and ensure your own safety. Send back intelligence from inside the secret realm at any time!"

"Understood! Mission accomplished!" Xie Yun solemnly accepted the order, turned around to gather the team, and prepared to enter the teleportation portal.

Meanwhile, the Cloud Sea Guild and other major organizations also received news of the opening of the secret realm and urged their teams to rush to the teleportation portal. A battle for the secret realm has begun.

Of course, some players chose to stand by and watch.

While the secret realm may hold immense opportunities, dangers are also ever-present.

These people, whether due to insufficient strength or inherent caution, knew they could not contend with powerful forces, so they simply abandoned their trip to the secret realm and stayed in the city.

Half an hour later, Mo Fan and his two companions finally arrived at the location of the secret realm portal.

But the sight before them made them stop in their tracks instantly.

—A large crowd had already gathered around the portal, the densely packed people clearly divided into several factions, and the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

Standing before the blue portal was the largest and best-equipped official team, exuding an imposing aura and firmly guarding the entrance;

On the other side were the forces of the Cloud Sea Guild and its various branches, all with unfriendly expressions, staring intently at the officials, creating a tense atmosphere that was about to erupt.

"What do you mean by this?" The leaders of the major organizations stepped forward and questioned the official team sternly, their tone full of dissatisfaction.

An official stepped forward, his face serious, and said, word by word, "The situation inside the secret realm is unclear, and the risks are unknown. For everyone's safety, entry is temporarily prohibited!"

These words immediately drew sneers and curses from various powerful forces.

"Entry prohibited due to unclear circumstances? Don't try to fob us off with that excuse! The system clearly states that the secret realm is open to free entry and exit. You clearly want to monopolize the secret realm and steal all the opportunities!"

In the past, no one dared to disobey official orders, but now that magic and pets have arrived, the world has changed, and the power of various forces has increased dramatically. They no longer blindly obey the authorities.

The officials, however, were unusually firm and refused to budge: "Under no circumstances are any people allowed to enter until new orders are issued from above!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the official team members pulled out the Gulu Balls from their waists, their eyes sharp, and assumed a battle-ready stance.

Upon seeing this, the leaders of the various organizations exchanged a glance.

They all knew that the official elites had already quietly entered the secret realm. If the stalemate continued, all the opportunities inside would be looted. They couldn't wait any longer!

Immediately, these people also took out their Gulu Balls, their spiritual energy surging, and a chaotic battle was about to break out.

"Mo Fan, what do we do now? They're about to start a fight!" Zhao Mingyuan clenched his fists and asked in a low voice with a tense expression.

Mo Fan scanned the situation on the field and calmly analyzed: "Let's wait and see. Once they really make a move, the scene will definitely be chaotic. We'll take advantage of the chaos to find an opportunity to rush into the portal and avoid getting involved in their conflict."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mingyuan nodded silently, keeping a close eye on the situation on the field, waiting for an opportunity to act.

Just as the two sides were about to clash, a calm voice suddenly rang out: "Stop!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw another group of officials walking quickly towards them, their steps neat and their demeanor imposing.

Mo Fan looked closely and recognized Xie Yun and Lin Mo as familiar faces in the group.

The person walking at the very front was a middle-aged man.

"Minister Xia!" The official team members stationed at the entrance quickly bowed and saluted.

Minister Xia's gaze swept over the two sides, who were on the verge of conflict. His brows furrowed tightly, and his face turned frighteningly grim.

The current situation is worse than he had anticipated; these grassroots forces are now actually daring to openly confront the government.

"What do you want to do? In these turbulent times, instead of cooperating to maintain order, you want to incite a brawl. Is the authority of the government so worthless in your eyes?" Minister Xia's voice was icy, filled with intense anger.

The people from various factions, however, were not afraid at all and retorted one after another:

"Don't try to intimidate us with your big accusations. You think you're right to try and monopolize the secret realm's opportunities?"

"Exactly! Your own people went in long ago, but you sent people here to block us. Your behavior is just too disgusting!"

"If they really have to fight, we're not afraid. At worst, we'll fight to the death!"

These words made Minister Xia and the officials present turn even more ashen-faced.

After a moment of stalemate, Minister Xia took a deep breath, softened his tone, but remained serious: "It's not that you can't enter the secret realm."

However, some things must be clarified: resources are limited in the secret realm. What should be done if conflict arises due to competition for resources?

Upon hearing this, the people from all the major factions fell silent.

This is indeed an unavoidable issue. Within the secret realm, the strong prey on the weak, and conflict is inevitable.

"What else can we do? Let each person rely on their own abilities, and the winner takes all!"

"Now that things have come to this, let's stop with the formalities and go into the secret realm, where life and death are irrelevant!"

Minister Xia frowned even more deeply and asked in a deep voice, "That's easy for you to say. What if you yourselves were the ones who lost your lives?"

Chapter 47 Meow Meow Fishing

Upon hearing this, the noisy crowd instantly fell silent.

Everyone knew that the reason they were fighting for this opportunity was to improve their strength and protect themselves. If they lost their lives as soon as they entered the secret realm, then everything would have been meaningless. There might be many more opportunities, but they only had one life.

Seeing this, Minister Xia continued, "The rules within the secret realm are still unknown, but I hope that no matter what disputes arise in the future, everyone can show some consideration and refrain from killing each other to avoid creating an irreconcilable feud. This is my only request as an official."

These words, spoken with a public-spirited intention, also struck a nerve with everyone. A moment later, the leaders of the various factions expressed their opinions:

"Okay, we agree. No lives will be taken within the secret realm."

"We agreed."

"can."

Although it was a verbal agreement, it eased the tense atmosphere considerably. Minister Xia secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that this agreement might not be able to completely bind everyone, but reducing unnecessary casualties was already the best outcome.

"Now that a consensus has been reached, let them pass. Everyone, enter the secret realm in turn." Minister Xia waved his hand, signaling the stationed officials to make way.

As soon as the words were spoken, the forces from all the major factions could no longer contain themselves and surged toward the teleportation portal. At Minister Xia's signal, Xie Yun, along with Lin Mo and the other team members, quickly stepped into the pale blue aura.

Subsequently, smaller factions and individual players who arrived one after another also rushed to enter the portal.

"Let's go in too, but be careful." Mo Fan turned to Zhao Mingyuan and Feng Ling'er and gave them a word of advice. Then the three of them walked side by side and stepped into the slowly rotating light blue portal.

……

A blinding light enveloped my entire body, and the dizziness vanished in an instant.

When Mo Fan opened his eyes again, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar world.

Beneath me lay soft, lush green grass, the blades still glistening with morning dew. A gentle breeze carried the scent of grass and earth, and in the distance, a clear stream flowed babbling merrily.

Looking around, there was no one within a hundred meters, and Zhao Mingyuan and Feng Ling'er were nowhere to be seen.

"It's random teleportation? We can't land together!" Mo Fan frowned slightly; this situation was completely unexpected.

He immediately opened the map, only to find that the entire secret realm map was covered by thick fog, with no coordinates or route hints. Clearly, the terrain of the secret realm required him to explore it step by step on his own.

Mo Fan immediately opened the chat function and sent messages to Zhao Mingyuan and Feng Ling'er. Fortunately, the chat function was still working normally within the secret realm.

Where are you now? How are things?

The two replied shortly after the message was sent.

Zhao Mingyuan: "I don't know where this is either. It's all forested around, and there's not a single landmark in sight. I can't tell which way to go at all."

Wind Chime: "I was in a pile of rocks, surrounded by big stones, and I didn't see anyone else."

Looking at the reply, Mo Fan solemnly instructed, "It seems we can only explore separately. Please be careful and prioritize your own safety if you encounter danger. Don't push yourself. Keep in touch at all times."

After sending the message, Mo Fan stood up, brushed the grass clippings off his clothes, looked at the winding river and the boundless grassland in front of him, and strode forward, beginning this unknown adventure into the secret realm.
