"In this case, we can't wait until the evening sacrifice to look for Yuan Yangzi. We must act immediately." Xu Feng said to himself.

At this time, Xu Feng could be said to be in the same place as Yuan Yangzi. Perhaps the straight-line distance was less than 500 meters. But if he said that he would be able to find Yuan Yangzi within three hours, Xu Feng had no confidence at all. After all, Hujiazhuang looked like a weird base camp. There were many low-level weirdnesses and even more high-level weirdnesses. If he encountered a third- or fourth-level weirdness, he might lose his life here.

The high-intensity battlefield secret realm, plus the golden main mission, the difficulty is not as simple as one plus one, but increases exponentially. Even if Xu Feng is confident, he dare not guarantee that he can complete the mission and pass the secret realm.

With a thought, a wall-penetrating talisman appeared out of thin air and stuck to Xu Feng's back. At this time, Xu Feng had been lying there for more than an hour and no one around was paying attention to him.

With the help of the power of the wall-penetrating talisman, Xu Feng slowly moved his body towards the rock wall behind him until his entire body was submerged in the rock wall of the cave. The whole process was silent, and even Mr. Liu, the owner of the auto repair shop who was less than one meter away from him, did not notice any movement.

Xu Feng's figure passed through the rock wall. The wall-penetrating talisman condensed by the power of calamity was much more durable than the previous full-level wall-penetrating talisman, and could even be compared with the legendary ground-walking talisman.

Xu Feng walked through the rock walls and soil, feeling as if he was moving in a ball of sticky liquid. Although it was strenuous, it was not impossible to move.

Soon, Xu Feng escaped from the cave and slowly sneaked towards the Hujiazhuang mansion.

…

At the same time, the Dead Squad and other secret realm apostles who had completed the first round of the mission all gathered outside the Hujiazhuang Valley. Looking at the valley filled with black mist, even the Bone Demon showed a cautious look on his face.

After a long while, the Bone Demon whispered to Hong beside him, "Hong, go contact the other secret realm apostles and ask them if they are willing to join forces with us!"

Seeing Hong's puzzled look, the Bone Demon whispered, "I can sense that there may be some unexpected and terrifying monsters hidden in this valley. With the strength of our team, even if we can get in, we will suffer heavy casualties..."

Hong's eyes instantly showed a look of relief, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He whispered: "Boss, do you want others to explore the way?"

The Bone Demon shook his head and said, "It's not just about exploring the way. Don't forget that this is a high-intensity battlefield. The main mission has suddenly changed and has become the last link. You can imagine how difficult it is. I'm afraid that the difficulty of several links has all accumulated in this last link..."

Hong's face changed slightly, and without saying a word, he turned and walked towards the scattered apostles of the secret realm.

Half an hour later, most of the secret realm apostles gathered around the team of the dead, and only a few of them were still in a wait-and-see stage.

The Bone Demon glanced at the apostles of the secret realm who were watching from a distance, a hideous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he pointed at those people and said to those who gathered around: "Everyone's mission to pass the level is the same, break into the valley and rescue Yuan Yangzi! As long as Yuan Yangzi can be rescued, the mission will be completed regardless of whether I take action or not!"

"Everyone is willing to unite. They must have guessed that the final clearance task would be difficult. We must gather everyone's strength to complete it!"

"But there are a few people who want to gain something for nothing and are waiting for us to make a move so they can take advantage of us later!"

"They take us for fools, brothers, do you agree?"

The Bone Demon glanced at everyone, and Hong was the first to stand up and shout, "If you don't agree, you must work hard if you want to complete the task. If you don't work hard, why do you take advantage of us?"

Soon, several more people stood up to respond. Most of them were members of the Dead Squad. The onlookers saw it all, but what the Bone Demon said was right. In order to complete the task, they had already prepared themselves mentally for a hard battle. Why should those people get something for nothing?

Everyone looked at the apostles who were watching with unfriendly eyes.

"Hong, go and talk to them again. If they are unwilling to unite, then they will not be allowed to enter the valley!" said the Bone Demon coldly.

No one else had any objection to Bone Demon's decision. Soon, under Hong's persuasion, two more people came over reluctantly and joined the team. Only two or three people still refused to come.

The Bone Demon glanced at those people coldly and said loudly: "Since you are unwilling to unite with us, then you are our enemy. At that time, I will send a few brothers to guard the entrance of the valley and not let anyone in!"

After saying that, the Bone Demon took the lead in leading the team and walked towards the valley.

Poison Spider Mei'er and Li Han, who had been hiding in the distance, looked at a large group of people walking towards the valley in a mighty manner, and couldn't help but wipe away a cold sweat.

"Luckily, we were not discovered by them. Otherwise, with so many people spitting at us, they would be able to kill us!" Li Han said in a low voice.

"Let's follow them secretly!" Poison Spider Meir said in a low voice.

"Why? Why not just let them rescue Yuan Yangzi? We can complete the mission even if we lie down. How great is that?" Li Han asked puzzledly.

"Stupid, this is a high-intensity battlefield secret realm, how could there be such a loophole?" Poison Spider Mei'er took a deep breath and explained to Li Han, "If you want to complete the task without any effort, do you think the Apostle System will leave you such a big loophole?"

After listening to this, Li Han showed a cautious look on his face and nodded, but soon, he said with embarrassment: "But we are now at loggerheads with the Dead Squad..."

"That's why we have to follow you secretly!" the poisonous spider shouted.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say, just whatever you say!" Li Han showed an embarrassed look on his face.

At this time, there were about three hundred secret realm apostles left. A team of one thousand people had only completed the first round of tasks, and 70% of them were eliminated. The high-intensity battlefield secret realm was truly worthy of the title of meat grinder.

Poison Spider Mei'er narrowed her eyes and watched a large group of people entering the valley. Their figures gradually disappeared into the mist. She couldn't help but think to herself, "The number of people who can survive and complete the mission is probably only in the double digits, or even in the single digits!"

After a while, the sound of fierce fighting was heard in the valley. After the Bone Demon led everyone into the valley, they saw the group of puppets that were drying meat. Sensing the strange aura coming from them, the Bone Demon directly called on everyone to start fighting.

These human puppets were just shells without strange inhabitants, no different from ordinary people. Facing this group of level five peak secret realm apostles, they had no power to fight back. Within a few breaths, they were all killed by the firepower of more than a dozen long-range attack professions.

"Hey, the system prompted me that I completely killed a weird (unborn) and gained 1% of the apostle experience!"

"Me too. Aren't weirdos unkillable? They will revive immediately after being killed. How can it remind us that we have completely killed a weirdo?"

"Didn't you see the note? It's an unborn monster, equivalent to a fetal monster. Yes, a fetal monster can get 1% of the Apostle experience. So how much reward will be given for killing a newly born monster? How much reward will be given for killing a high-level monster?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Several long-range apostles became excited. Although 1% of the apostle experience was not much, it was tempting enough to make people fantasize.

The Bone Demon frowned and reminded in a deep voice: "Don't forget what our mission is. Don't lose the big picture for the small. These weirdos in the fetal state can be killed, but we have killed those that have already been born before. They cannot be killed!"

The words of the Bone Demon were like a bucket of cold water, sobering up the excited apostles of the secret realm. However, there were still many people who hoped to hunt down more monsters in the fetal state.

At this moment, the black fog suddenly rolled up. The Bone Demon's heart tightened, and he felt as if he was being stared at by a giant beast, and a tingling pain spread throughout his skin.

This was the Bone Demon's B-level talent, Danger Prediction, frantically reminding him that danger was approaching quickly.

The Bone Demon quickly gestured to his companions around him, then quickly retreated and merged into the crowd.

The next moment, a giant python with a pitch-black body quickly emerged from the black fog, opened its mouth wide, and swallowed half of the body of a secret realm apostle into its mouth.

Seeing the giant python so terrified, all the apostles showed horror on their faces, and subconsciously used their skills to attack the black giant python.

However, after everyone attacked, they found that the black python in front of them was not so easy to deal with. Its hard scales were like armor. Bows and arrows, and bullets shot at it would only spark a few sparks before being bounced off. Energy attacks landed on the black python, leaving only a faint mark, but could not break the black python's defense at all.

"Damn it! How can we encounter such a horrible monster when we haven't even entered the core area yet?"

"Its defense is so high that there is no way to break it. Its health is actually 500,000. Is this really a monster from the fifth-level secret realm?"

"Heavy weapons, you must use heavy weapons to cause damage!"

…

The black python swung its body, and more than a dozen secret realm apostles of melee profession flew out directly. It opened its big mouth and blew out countless black smoke, which swept towards the crowd and instantly enveloped dozens of secret realm apostles. Screams came one after another. This black smoke was even more terrifying than the most potent poison. Within a few seconds, the secret realm apostles who were contaminated with the gray smoke turned their bodies into a pool of pus.

At that moment, all the apostles from the secret realm retreated one after another, looking as embarrassed as pigs and wolves running away.

The Bone Demon originally wanted to let these secret realm apostles rush to the front and serve as cannon fodder, but now it seems that if he does not take action, these secret realm apostles will flee immediately.

"Hmph, you are a bunch of useless trash!" The Bone Demon could not help but curse fiercely. As his mind moved, a sound of bones dislocating and rubbing came from his body. One by one, white bones broke out of his body, carrying red blood, and combined into a suit of armor on the surface of the Bone Demon's body. At the same time, the Bone Demon's eyes also glowed red. From a distance, he looked like an undead warrior who had just crawled out of hell.

"No one can stop me!" The Bone Demon roared, leaped up, and pounced directly on the black python.
