The moonlight was like water, and there was deathly silence all around. Even the most normal sound of insects could not be heard. Xu Feng just stood silently in the darkness.

"It's still afternoon in the real world, the sun is shining brightly, but it's dark in the secret realm." Xu Feng thought to himself, "But it's just right, the dark night is just right for me to use the cloak's shadow escape skill, the environment is favorable to me."

In the wild secret realm, the timeline is different from that of the real world. Only when someone controls the core of the secret realm and connects it to the real world, will the timeline slowly change with the real world. When it is daytime in the real world, it is also daytime in the secret realm. When it is nighttime in the real world, it is also nighttime in the secret realm. It is not like now when day and night are reversed.

Xu Feng first opened the system interface and carefully checked the two main tasks. He carefully reviewed the content of each main task word by word, fearing that he would miss any details.

Often, clues to clearing the secret realm are hidden between the lines of the main quest, and some secret realm apostles who don't pay attention to details often ignore these contents.

"Survival, exploration, it really is worthy of being an S-level secret realm mission!" A smile appeared on Xu Feng's face. For other students, the first time they encountered a single-player secret realm was an S-level one, just like what the system showed, it was simply a disaster. But for Xu Feng, an S-level single-player secret realm was more to his liking. This meant that once he controlled the secret core of this secret realm, he would be more powerful than other secret realm apostles, and his future growth potential would be higher.

After checking the main task, Xu Feng did not take action immediately, but took off the backpack behind him. Because there was no storage space, Xu Feng could only carry some materials in the backpack.

There were two bottles of pure water and several packs of compressed dry food in the backpack, as well as a large stack of white paper and a bundle of tied bamboo strips. Wolf hair brushes, red ink and yellow paper were naturally not left behind, and there were also dozens of talismans of various types. However, the capacity of the backpack was limited, and Xu Feng brought a lot of things, so there were not many talismans, which could barely sustain two or three battles. After all, Xu Feng could only barely cast the healing talisman and the soul fire talisman with the void drawing talisman. The proficiency of other talismans was too low and could not be cast in battle.

Taking out bamboo sticks and white paper, Xu Feng began to make paper figures. Soon, a white paper figure more than one meter tall appeared in front of Xu Feng.

After stuffing the remaining white paper and bamboo strips, which were enough for one use, into the backpack, Xu Feng carried the light paper figure and walked towards the village in the distance.

Xu Feng had tried the Taoist Soldier Talisman before, and it was very useful. The Taoist soldiers summoned were very powerful both in exploration and combat. However, the duration was only 30 minutes, and paper figures had to be made in advance, so there were many restrictions.

The reason why Xu Feng made a paper man first was because he was afraid that if he encountered a battle, he would not have enough time to use the Taoist military talisman. After all, this was an S-level single-player dungeon, so it was never too careful.

In this way, Xu Feng carried a paper man and walked along the wilderness path towards the village in the distance.

Soon, he stood at the entrance of the village. Beside the entrance road stood a huge stone tablet with the words "Xiaogou Village" written in traditional Chinese characters.

The font was deep red, as if fresh blood had been smeared on it. Xu Feng could even smell a faint smell of blood coming from the stone tablet, as if the bloody words had just been smeared on them.

Xu Feng didn't dare to move forward. He looked up at Xiaogou Village. The village seemed to have been abandoned. Many thatched houses had collapsed. There were several skeletons lying on the village road. There was no sign of being cleaned up at all.

"In this desolate mountain and wilderness, the entire village has probably been either massacred or relocated as a whole and left long ago..." Xu Feng hesitated. This village was too strange and it would be dangerous if he entered rashly.

He put down the paper man he was carrying, took out a Taoist military talisman from his arms, and shook it casually. A ray of spiritual light was stimulated from the Taoist military talisman. Xu Feng took the opportunity to stick the Taoist military talisman on the paper man. The Taoist military talisman immediately merged into the paper man, and the whole paper man began to be shrouded in spiritual light.

Soon, the paper man turned into a middle-aged man in cloth. Both his expression and movements seemed a little dull. He looked more like a farmer than a warrior in his simple cloth. The only bright spot on his body was probably the steel knife in his hand, which looked quite imposing.

This steel knife was not prepared by Xu Feng, but was transformed from the spiritual energy of the Taoist Soldier Talisman. When the time of the Taoist Soldier Talisman ends or the Taoist soldier dies, the steel knife will disappear.

Taoist soldiers have no self-awareness and no spiritual consciousness. They can only understand a few simple commands, such as reconnaissance, combat, and following. The purpose must be clear and not too complicated.

The Taoist soldier clasped his hands together and saluted towards Xu Feng. Then he gripped the steel knife tightly and slowly moved forward with a cautious look.

The Taoist soldiers are fearless and appear to be very cautious, but in fact it is related to the reconnaissance order. It seems that as long as it is a reconnaissance, it will always remain in this state.

The distance between the Taoist soldiers and Xu Feng cannot be too far. Once the distance exceeds the limit, the Taoist soldiers will stand still and motionless. After Xu Feng saw the Taoist soldiers enter the village, he followed them, holding a soul fire talisman in his hand and keeping a distance of five or six meters from the Taoist soldiers.

As soon as we entered the village, a layer of light gray mist suddenly appeared around us, covering the entire village.

At this moment, a strange sound suddenly rang out in the originally silent village.

Crack, crack~ It sounds like the sound of bones rubbing against each other.

Xu Feng's vigilance was immediately raised to the maximum, and he was even ready to trigger the stealth skill of the shadow cloak at any time.

"The enemy has been spotted. Should we engage in battle?" A cold, mechanical voice suddenly came out from the Taoist soldier's mouth.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"It can also automatically detect enemies?" Xu Feng showed a look of surprise on his face. He had tried the Taoist Soldier Talisman several times before, but each time it was at home, and he didn't realize that the Taoist Soldier Talisman had such an effect.

"fighting!"

At this time, Xu Feng did not find the enemy. Since the Taoist soldiers had found him, it was a good opportunity to find the hidden enemy.

Break the evil! The Taoist soldier roared and swung the steel knife in his hand towards a skeleton on the street.

A Taoist soldier in combat state is like a true iron-blooded warrior, fearless and terrified, using moves that will lead to the death together with the enemy. Breaking Evil Slash is the only big move that a Taoist soldier masters. Every time it is released, it consumes the body's spiritual power and has a long cooldown time. In a battle, it can only be used once or twice at most.

A flame-like light burst out from the blade of the steel knife. The skeleton that had been lying motionless on the ground suddenly jumped up nimbly and lay on the wall of a thatched hut next to it, with its limbs spread out like a giant gecko. It raised its head and roared at the Taoist soldier.
