Chapter 57 triggers the hidden challenge mission!
After seeing Meiqiu’s new skills, Han Xing began to check the other rewards that the system had just calculated.
The first one is the 'Strong Fragment'.
[Strong Fragments]: After collecting 100 fragments, you can synthesize a Strong Seal, which can be used in the "Abyss Rift" challenge.
In the item introduction, Han Xing saw a new map name.
"Abyssal rift? Is it related to the Abyssal Realm?"
He keenly noticed the word "abyss".
This is because, when he encountered that terrible demon, he learned from it that it came from the abyss.
It seemed to be the lair of the demon clan, where countless terrifying creatures gathered.
"Could it be that the system wants us to go to that kind of place to fight monsters?" Han Xing suddenly shuddered.
With his current attributes, he would probably be killed instantly without leaving any trace if he went to the Abyss.
In other words, even if all the survivors of the entire Blue Planet were thrown into the Abyss, not even a single wave would be created.
But after thinking about it, the system probably won't let them go to such a high-level map at the current stage. That would be tantamount to committing suicide.
So, Han Xing clicked on the introduction of 'Abyss Rift' behind the Strong Fragment [Abyss Rift (Special Scene)]
Tens of thousands of years ago, the Demon King sacrificed all his strength and swung his strongest sword, splitting a road from the Abyss to the Holy Spirit Realm. The vast demon army passed through this passage and invaded the Holy Spirit Realm unscrupulously, and a protracted war to eliminate demons began.
In the war, countries were destroyed, lives were lost, and finally the four strongest beings in the Holy Spirit Realm gathered together and, at the cost of their lives, severely damaged the Demon Emperor.
Hundreds of years later, the battlefield between the Holy Spirit Realm and the Abyss Realm moved to this opened passage.
Countless demons and warriors from the Holy Spirit Realm died in this battle, and countless treasures were lost here. Hundreds of years later, the demon clan was defeated, the entrance to the abyss rift was closed, and these countless treasures were also lost in the abyss rift.
Only those who hold the mark of the strong can enter the abyss rift.
Note: The Abyss Rift is a special scene, divided into 1-100 layers. Survivors need to start the challenge from the first layer and gradually go deeper into the rift.
Required level to enter the scene: lv10.……
After reading this long introduction, Han Xing finally understood.
It turns out that the so-called abyss rift is a special space. A long time ago, it seemed to be the main battlefield and passage between the two worlds.
There may be powerful monsters and countless treasures inside.
As long as you gather 100 fragments of the strong, you can synthesize a strong mark and enter the abyss rift to challenge.
And you have to start the challenge from the first level, which is similar to the mechanism of climbing a tower.
"It sounds good, but the difficulty of this map should not be low. You need to be at least level 10 to enter."
"Besides, it is quite difficult to collect all 100 fragments."
After all, Han Xing was only given 3 fragments for challenging a one-star secret realm. According to this ratio, he would have to challenge at least more than 30 one-star secret realms to get a strong mark.
This shows that the fragments of the strong should be relatively precious items.
Thinking of this, Han Xing suddenly had an idea.
It is quite difficult to collect 100 fragments by yourself, and it takes a lot of time.
But if it is applied to the nearly 10,000 survivors in Area 107, it becomes much simpler.
He only needs to use what he has in his hands to harvest from other survivors, no, to exchange for a large number of powerful fragments, so that he can quickly synthesize many powerful marks, and then continue to enter the abyss rifts.
This idea has yet to be implemented, but Han Xing feels it is highly feasible.
At this stage, he didn't believe that any survivor could resist the temptation of the space backpack.
Han Xing immediately decided that after he got out, he would start mass-producing space backpacks, and then find a suitable opportunity to put them on the trading market.
After reading the introduction of the strong fragments, Han Xing looked at another material in the backpack.
[Rune Crystal]: One of the main materials for making equipment runes, it requires the corresponding rune blueprint to be made.
The introduction is simple and clear.
Han Xing took a glance and stopped paying attention, instead looking forward.
He did not forget that there was also a silver treasure chest in the secret realm settlement reward.
The system said that this treasure chest is in the secret map and you have to find it yourself.
Han Xing searched among the ruins and found a silvery-white corner next to a collapsed stone pillar.
Han Xing's eyes lit up, "There!"
Under the ruins, a silver-white treasure chest was buried under the stones.
Han Xing hurriedly walked over and opened the silver treasure chest directly. Suddenly, a variety of materials appeared in front of him.
[Successfully opened the silver treasure chest, obtained spirit core*124, mithril*17, rare earth*243, ether*147...]
[Get Chaos Rune Blueprint (Weak)*1, Get Barbarian Wristband (Blue)*1]
"Rune diagram?"
Han Xing picked up the blue drawing from the treasure chest and said, "It came out so soon? I'm pretty lucky!"
He immediately clicked on study.
In the production interface, there is an additional rune drawing column, which currently only contains this chaos rune drawing.
Han Xing checked the drawing properties.
[Chaos Rune (Weak)]: Adds a rune effect to equipment, slightly increasing a random attribute.
Materials required for production: Rune Crystal*100, Spirit Core*10, Ether*200. "Not bad, the materials required are not complicated, and we can make them in batches after we go out."
Now, there is still one piece of blue equipment left in the treasure chest, the Barbarian Bracers, which has not been picked up.
I had some good luck unpacking this time.
So far, Han Xing has reaped quite good rewards from this secret realm challenge.
The last piece of equipment he picked up was a gauntlet that he had never gotten before.
Han Xing checked its properties with some excitement.
[Barbarian Wristguard (Blue) lv6, Quality - Excellent, Defense 4~5, Strength +10, Agility +5, Additional Effect - Barbarian Power (When launching an attack, there is a 50% chance to increase Strength by 20 points)]
"Another piece of equipment that increases strength. If this continues, my strength attribute will soon exceed my agility!"
Han Xing was surprised but also speechless, as he didn't want to become a muscular hunter.
But he still equipped it immediately. After all, it was a blue item and the attributes it added were also very powerful.
At this point, the rewards of the secret realm have been almost harvested, and Han Xing is ready to leave after decomposing the remains of the psychic puppets on the ground.
And at this moment, a different prompt appeared.
[Survivors, please note that since you are a single player in the secret realm, your strength has been recognized by the will of the Lord of the Lost Palace, Kairon, and the hidden mission of the Lost Palace, Kairon's experimental report, has been triggered.]
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
[After accepting this task, the third stage of the Lost Palace challenge will be automatically opened. Survivors are requested to make a choice as soon as possible. ]
"Hmm? A hidden mission?"
Han Xing perked up instantly.
In Sky Island Paradise, hidden missions are hard to come by, and behind every hidden mission there are powerful opportunities.
For example, he came across the request of the Demon Lord in the dark elf camp. In that mission, he obtained the powerful pet 'Coal Ball'.
Although he was forced to accept it at that time, and the hidden mission in this palace was not as impressive as the mission of the Demon Lord.
But each hidden mission often has a unique reward.
There was a hint of hesitation in Han Xing's eyes, and he really wanted to accept it.
But when he thought of the miserable state he had been in when being chased by six psychic puppets, Han Xing felt a little scared.
The second stage was already so difficult, and the challenge of this third stage is definitely more intense than before.
Just as he was hesitating, the system prompt appeared again.
[Please survivors make a choice as soon as possible, give up or accept. 】
[If you do not respond within 60 seconds, it will be deemed as automatic abandonment...]
Han Xing wanted to give up, but at this moment, Meiqiu next to him seemed to have discovered something. His figure flashed in an instant and appeared in a corner dozens of meters away.
Seeing the speed of this little guy, Han Xing's eyes suddenly lit up.
"After reaching level 6, Coal Ball's strength has been greatly improved, which can be called a qualitative change. I also got a new blue equipment, which has increased my damage even more..."
"Compared to the second stage, our strength has improved significantly..."
After thinking for a moment, Han Xing gritted his teeth and said, "Let's do it!"
He decided to accept this hidden mission.
[You can accept the Lost Palace hidden mission, 'Kaylon's Experimental Report'. The third stage of the challenge will start in ten minutes. Survivors, please prepare as soon as possible. ]
"Ten minutes to prepare? That's good."
At this time, Coal Ball was standing on the collapsed stone pillar, with his head lowered, sniffing from time to time, as if he was looking for something.
Han Xing walked up to it and asked, "What's wrong? Did you find any treasure?"
Coal Ball lowered its head and was picking at the bricks of the rubble with its little wolf paws. When it saw Han Xing coming, it jumped up excitedly.
It looked at Han Xing from time to time with clear eyes, and then looked at the ruins from time to time, as if conveying some message.
"Hmm? Is there really a treasure under here?" Han Xing asked uncertainly.
Meiqiu breathed out excitedly, then buried his head and continued digging, and hinted to Han Xing to come over.
Seeing this, Han Xing also followed Meijiao to clear the nearby building debris.
In less than two minutes, the rubble in the area was cleared.
A wooden door suddenly appeared on the ground, which looked like the entrance to a basement.
The moment he saw the wooden door, Han Xing looked at Coal Ball in surprise. He didn't expect that there was something underneath.
Han Xing approached the wooden door and smelled a mixture of fermented herbs before he opened it.
“Hiss…it smells so good!”
"Could it be that something underneath is..." Han Xing couldn't wait to open the wooden door.
Sure enough, as soon as I opened it, the smell of aged wine that had been sealed for years came to my face.
A system prompt appears.
[You have discovered the Dwarven wine cellar.]
Inside is a small space that looks like it was once used as a wine cellar.
Han Xing saw at a glance that under the cellar, there were several wine jars the size of water tanks, which had been stored for who knows how many years.
Unfortunately, most of these wine jars were shattered due to the collapse of the palace.
The fermented glutinous rice wine on the ground had already dried up.
But now, there is still one last wine jar that has not been broken!
Han Xing's eyes lit up! ...
