Chapter 52: The Secret Realm of Ancient Trees Changed
The next day.
At noon.
In a cemetery not far from Ironwood Village, a group of soldiers stood jumping with a wooden barrel in their hands.
If an uninformed person saw this picture, they would think there were zombies here.
As time passed by, Ai Lan began to feel nervous.
"Why is there still no movement? Could it be that everything I guessed is wrong?"
If that's the case, then they have to wait another day.
At this moment, he suddenly had an idea. The riddle said he needed water, so why wouldn't he give it to "it"?
"Everyone, pour the water out of the barrel!"
After receiving the order, the soldiers raised the buckets and poured the water down.
The moment the water splashed to the ground, a strange ripple like a water wave rippled throughout the cemetery.
"Guessed it right!"
"Detected???, the key to the secret realm is being reactivated."
A key, shining with magical light, slowly floated out from beneath the ground.
"This is the key to the secret realm!"
The fifth ring mission is simpler than imagined, but starting with the next ring, the plot seems to be about to change drastically.
Seeing the movement when the Key to the Secret Realm appeared, Ai Lan couldn't help but feel excited.
"Don't play with me, boss."
When reaching the last link of some series of tasks, the difficulty of the task will suddenly increase. What he fears most is encountering this situation.
"The key to the secret realm has been activated."
Following an illusory reminder, this extremely mysterious key suddenly flew to Ai Lan's eyes.
Key to the Secret Realm [???]: The only key to unlock the secret realm of the ancient tree (1/1).
There is very little information about this key, but Ai Lan understands the 1/1 in the last column.
"There is only one chance to enter." Ai Lan stretched out his hand and grabbed the key to the secret realm.
At this moment, the magic key suddenly turned into a ray of light and penetrated the back of his hand.
"This is?" Ai Lan looked at the back of her hand and found a key-shaped tattoo on it.
"Congratulations to the player for obtaining the key to the secret realm."
"Congratulations to the player for obtaining the permission to open the ancient tree secret realm (1/1)."
Ancient Tree Secret Realm: A long-lost secret forest realm. According to ancient legend, a hero of the fish-men tribe was trapped in it.
"Warning: The challenge in the secret realm is extremely difficult. Players are advised to enter with caution."
"Warning: If you fail in the secret realm challenge, you will be severely punished."
Ai Lan glanced at the tattoo on his hand, and it clearly showed the accessible location, which was at his feet, in the cemetery.
"Isn't this just a copy?"
"If you change the name to Secret Realm, wouldn't I recognize it?"
If Ai Lan guessed correctly, this is likely to be the first ten dungeons opened in the new world.
Because before this, he had never heard of the word secret realm anywhere.
I searched the forum and couldn't find any relevant information.
He went to the intelligence merchant to inquire a few more words, but as soon as the words "Key to the Secret Realm" came out, the intelligence merchant took the money and tried to force it into his hand.
"This doesn't seem to be in the top ten, maybe even in the top three."
The higher it is, the rarer this copy key is.
If it is the first in the entire server, that would be even more extraordinary.
This link is the last link in the chain of tasks. You don’t have to guess how difficult the secret challenge is. It must be ridiculously high.
"It's good to have a high level of difficulty. Only with challenges can you gain rewards!"
According to the general rules of virtual games, the explosion rate in the dungeon is several times higher than in the wild.
The drops from the dungeon BOSS are also more valuable than the wild BOSS.
If Ai Lan can clear this dungeon, the rewards will definitely make him laugh out loud.
However, the system has specifically given a warning: if you fail in the secret realm challenge, you will be severely punished.
With so few troops now, Ai Lan would not dare to enter the army.
"We have to wait at least for the next week until I recruit another team of level 3 shooters."
At this stage, a small group of level 3 ranged soldiers are standing still and doing their best to deal damage, and even Renne may be slightly behind.
With both teams of level 3 shooters in hand, Ai Lan had the confidence to challenge the dungeon alone.
As for recruiting teammates, he had no idea at all. The nickname Lone Wolf didn't just pop out of thin air.
"By the way, I also need to replenish my equipment."
The dangers of copies have been made clear.
Before entering the secret realm, Ai Lan must be fully equipped, even if she spends all her savings.
Now that he has decided to fight, he should fight with all his strength. Hesitation is not his style.
"Do you have any good equipment? Send it to me."
Ai Lan directly sent this news to a dozen game merchants in private messages.
Soon a businessman sent a reply, "Boss, are you in Ironwood Village now?"
"Yes, I will be in Ironwood Village these days."
The opening location of the dungeon is in the cemetery, so Ai Lan cannot go to other villages.
"Okay, someone from our Chamber of Commerce will be in Tiemu Village in two days. Let's contact him then."
Next, Ai Lan sent similar messages to several more famous businessmen.
If you want to get good equipment, you really have to find these professional game dealers.
It's up to him to collect it by himself, and when he has to collect it.
