Qi Xu struggled to crawl forward a few steps. Although he looked a bit disheveled, he sat down next to Dongfang Yuan. Dongfang Yuan straightened his shoulders so that Qi Xu could lean on him.

Then neither of them spoke. If you include the time spent in the secret realm, it had been almost three years since they last met.

Now that I've come out, I realize that our experiences are almost identical, and I suddenly feel that my loneliness is also because I've always had someone with me.

They rested quietly for a while until the weakness in their bodies completely subsided, and then they recalled the details of the treasure map's secret realm.

Aside from the final conditions, even the slogans on the doors were roughly the same, and in the end, they were all threatened with mutual destruction, which is quite a coincidence.

However, Qi Xu felt that Dongfang Yuan was even more ruthless. He had stayed in the secret realm for so long because he was also busy with the matter of the "Chasing the Sky Feather Realm".

Moreover, it wasn't boring at all. He led Hong, Xiao Wu, Xiao Liu, and Xiao Ba on "conquests across the country," challenging various ethnic groups, and his daily life was very fulfilling.

But Dongfang Yuan, she stayed in the secret realm alone for more than three years, and directly upgraded her skill "Death Lock" to level 5. She is now a level 5 ability user.

Qi Xu's eyes widened again and again. Good, good, this is the real King of Scrolls. Upgrading this skill is not something that can be done by practicing for a certain amount of time.

It requires understanding, adaptation, and context.

"Wait a minute, Sister Yuan, there isn't even a single enemy in the secret realm. Who are you going to drag into your domain to practice with you?"

After feeling envious, this was the point that puzzled Qi Xu the most. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to practice "Condensing Abyss" and "My Fate is in My Own Hands, Not in Heaven's" only after reaching the "Chasing the Void Feather Realm".

Dongfang Yuan replied very seriously: "Anything in the world, a fallen leaf, a blue stone step, or even the image of an opponent in my mind, is acceptable."

Qi Xu instantly felt like he had missed out on a fortune; he was still limited by his thinking. There were many more wonderful ways to experience this "Realm of Life".

All he wanted to do was slap his thigh in regret. Dongfang Yuan smiled and comforted him, "We have different fighting styles. I focus on extreme bursts, while you are more well-rounded. What suits me may not suit you. Don't get stuck on one thing."

"Okay, then I'll have the barbecue!"

"No problem, I'll go set up the oven. You can rest a bit more. Hey, Little Master?"

It wasn't until he ate the delicious food that Qi Xu felt alive again! Although he didn't feel hungry in the secret realm, he always felt like a big piece of his soul was missing.

All the teammates who went to the [Winged Realm] have returned.

Without exception, they all obtained the "Divine Armor Wings," but their experiences were completely different; not all players turned into giant black birds after entering.

However, the overall development process is similar: as long as you can successfully avoid the first awakening period of the sleeping behemoth, you can obtain the [Divine Armor Wings].

The difference is that Ah Bian is like a fish in water in this treasure map secret realm, and her gains are no less than Qi Xu's.

Even though it started as a very weak little sparrow, it still managed to turn the tide through meticulous planning.

However, instead of killing the sleeping behemoth, she devised a way to enslave it, using it as a tool to cultivate wasteland and build her home...
