Looking around, a huge, winding black mountain range appeared before them.

The sky above the mountains was filled with black fog, and even though it was daytime, it was impossible to see the peaks in the distance.

There were dark clouds in the clouds at the top of the mountain, and there was faint roar of thunder, the sound of which could be heard thousands of miles away.

"Captain Zhao!"

A figure walked out quickly from the distant forest: "I've been waiting for you."

"Captain Chen."

Zhao Yunxiao walked over and the two shook hands.

"Zhixue, Zheng Cheng, come here."

Zhao Yunxiao waved his hand, and the five people walked over one by one.

"This is Captain Chen Feng from our Night's Watch headquarters. He was also my senior in the past. You should all get to know him."

"Hahaha, no, no, I'm just a little older."

Chen Feng was not tall, and his cheeks were a little dark, but his eyes were very gentle. He smiled at them and said, "Yunxiao is the pride of our imperial capital's night watchmen. You must be no worse than her team members."

"We in the Night's Watch need talents like you!"

Zheng Cheng's mouth twitched, but Zhou Xinyu took over the conversation skillfully: "Captain Chen Feng? I've heard my third uncle mention you often. He said that you single-handedly fought against 13 fallen members of the Fallen Organization 'Black Beast' and made great contributions to the Night's Watch's encirclement and suppression of the 'Black Beast' headquarters..."

"Black beast..."

Chen Feng's eyes were full of memories. He looked Zhou Xinyu up and down and said, "You do look familiar. Your third uncle is..."

"Zhou Changhe."

"Huh? Lao Zhou's nephew? Hahaha, I was wondering why he looked so familiar..."

Chen Feng's eyes lit up slightly and he said, "I didn't expect that Old Zhou's nephew has grown up so much and his level has improved so quickly. Your Zhou family has a successor."

"Come on, I'll take you to the entrance to the secret realm."

Under the leadership of Chen Feng, several people walked towards the entrance of the secret realm.

There were soldiers and night watchmen stationed on both sides of the road, at least a company's worth of people.

Zheng Cheng asked in a low voice: "Yunxiao, who is Zhou Changhe?"

Zhao Yunxiao glanced at him and said, "Uncle Zhou Xinyu, the number one person under the Zhou family's epic ancestor."

"The first person in the Zhou family's epic..."

Zheng Cheng wrote down the name, and he didn't know who was stronger between him and Xu Qingfeng? Zhao Yunxiao snorted, turned his head and walked away, and Zheng Cheng's mouth twitched again.

"Zheng Cheng, how did you offend Sister Yunxiao?"

Yao Zhixue also came over and asked curiously.

Zheng Cheng's heart skipped a beat and he said, "No, how could I offend her? Zhixue, don't think too much about it."

"Yeah……"

Yao Zhixue asked curiously, "I felt something was wrong the last time you came back from the Holy Light Church."

"Something's wrong, we've always been like this, are you too tired these days and have wild thoughts?"

Zheng Cheng quickly covered up and quickly walked to the front to join the conversation between Zhou Xinyu and Chen Feng.

Behind them, Cui Xiabing and Zi Yansu also had gossipy looks on their faces.

“There is a problem.”

"Uh-huh."

"Zheng Cheng and Yao Zhixue are a couple, where is Sister Yunxiao?"

"Could it be... playing both sides?"

“It’s possible!”

"Stay away from him."

"Yes, yes, it's great that he's handsome, it's great that he's strong..."

"What nonsense are you talking about..."

"Anyway, stay away from him. Men are trouble...!"

Ten minutes later, they arrived at a valley.

An entrance to a secret realm that was more than two people tall was still rotating slowly.

Chen Feng explained: "It has been six days since we discovered this secret place. We only sent people in to conduct a preliminary investigation and did not go deep into it."

"The rest is up to you guys."

"Um."

Zhao Yunxiao nodded and motioned for them to enter.

"This is where you will level up this time. Come on, don't let me down."

"OK!"

"Don't worry, Sister Yunxiao."

"Captain, let's go in first."

"By the way, who shall we five choose as captain?"

"I."

"I."

"I will."

Zheng Cheng, Zhou Xinyu, and Cui Xiabing raised their hands, looked at each other, and then looked at the other two.

Yao Zhixue took the lead and said, "I choose Zheng Cheng."

Cui Xiabing looked at Zi Yan again, and Zi Yan smiled sweetly and said, "I choose Zheng Cheng too."

"Xiao Zi, why are you..."

"Xiao Bingbing, you are really not suitable to be the captain. You should just follow the captain."

Zhou Xinyu also had a sad face and really wanted to slap himself.

"Damn it, Zheng Cheng, how did you hook up with so many girls? Teach me."

“Get lost!”

After they formed a team, they reached out and touched the entrance to the secret realm.

The five figures were immediately submerged by the entrance to the secret realm and disappeared.

Looking at the disappearing entrance, Chen Feng said worriedly: "Captain Zhao, this secret realm is of hell-level difficulty. Are you really confident that the five of them can go?"

"It seems that the captain Zheng Cheng is the only one who is LV59, and the highest level among the others is only LV56."

Zhao Yunxiao shook his head and said, "Captain Chen, don't underestimate them."

"Whether the ghosts in this secret realm can withstand their slaughter is still unknown."

"massacre?"

While the two were talking, they didn't notice at all that there was a ghost watching them in the distance of the valley.

“Ga ga ga…”

"Here it comes! It's finally here!"

"It's worth my effort and the Heart of the Secret Realm to lure them here. Three of the five of them have the inheritance of Emperor Lingmei..."

"Kill them and take all their inheritance!"

"In this way, I can reproduce the glory of Emperor Lingmei ten thousand years ago and step into the realm of mythology, hahahaha!!!"

As the ghost laughed softly, the shadow of the giant bird behind him became more and more solid.

This person is... Ghost Owl! Who would have thought that after being attacked by the Fire Ghost King, one of the Ghost Face Organizations, he did not die, but escaped here instead.

And they had to act secretly to snatch the inheritance from Zheng Cheng, Zhou Xinyu, and Yao Zhixue! "No hurry, no hurry..."

The ghost owl whispered: "This secret realm is a ghost town with tens of thousands of ghosts. Let them consume the strength of these five people first, and it would be best if we can kill one or two of them."

"Then I'll go in and kill these guys in one fell swoop."

"When the time comes, all three items of inheritance will be mine."

“Ga ga ga ga…!”

The crow-like laughter of the ghost owl continued to spread along with the black fog, causing the ghost fog in the Beimang Mountain area to roll, and ghosts cried and wolves howled, which was extremely miserable.

At the same time, in the secret realm, the figures of Zheng Cheng and five others appeared together.

When the light returned in front of my eyes, I found five people appearing outside an open space.

There were wild grasses growing everywhere, and there was a wide road in front leading to the distance.

Continuing to look forward, a huge city appeared before everyone.

The outer periphery is a tall city wall made of bluestone slabs, with battlements and urn on top. At this moment, the entire wall appears black, like a huge monster lying in the distance.

Further away are tall black mountains.

A strong wind blew in, bringing with it an inexplicable stench.

After the five people entered the secret realm, Zheng Cheng received another reminder from the will of the world.

[You have entered the secret realm - Black Mountain Ghost Town]

[Secret Realm: Black Mountain Ghost Town]

[Level: LV59 (only LV59 and below professionals can enter)]

[Number of people entering: 5]

[Difficulty: Hell]

[Explanation: Heishan was originally an ordinary city, but one day after the villagers drank the water from the river, they turned into very aggressive monsters, which spread throughout Heishan like a plague. Three months later, Heishan became a dead city.]

[Main Mission 1: Find out the main cause of the Black Mountain incident.]

[Main Mission 2: Eliminate the source of ghosts in Black Mountain City. ]

[Mission Description: After the plague, the villagers of Black Mountain City have all turned into immortal ghosts, wandering around Black Mountain City all day long, unable to rest. The culprit who caused all this seems to be hiding behind Black Mountain City. Find him and kill him! ]

Zhou Xinyu suddenly said: "The air here is very cold and the aura is full of negative energy, which is indeed very beneficial to us."

"But I hope the boss hiding in the dark is not too strong. After all, the light energy and negative energy that we control are mutually exclusive."

"Light overcomes darkness, but at the same time darkness overcomes light!"

Cui Xiabing also nodded and said, "Yes... I can't sense any breath of life from the distant city, or even the entire secret realm."

"Perhaps all the creatures in the entire city and the entire secret realm have been transformed into undead creatures!"

Zheng Cheng took a deep breath and said, "Yes, let's make sure everything is in place. How about luring a monster out first and see?"

“No hurry.”

Zhou Xinyu suggested: "Let's add BUFF first. I just learned a few good skills."

After saying this, he clasped his hands together and murmured softly, and a faint whispering sound appeared in the void.

Then, five golden lights descended from the sky, covering all of them.

"Adamantium Shield."

"A protective buff skill that blocks any form of attack from all directions. As long as the energy does not dissipate, it can completely protect you from harm."

As Zhou Xinyu spoke, he chanted another spell, and soon another skill was cast on the five people.

There were five faint flames, which fell on the five people and began to burn quietly.

"Buddha's light shines for the first time."

"It can temporarily increase the target's physical limit and magic defense, and it also has strong resistance to abnormal conditions. I believe it will be very useful in this secret realm full of negative energy."

"I'll come too."

Cui Xiabing drew out his staff and pointed it in the direction of the few people.

Green light flashed continuously, covering the five figures.

Several small vines grew out of the ground, entwined around Zhou Xinyu's diamond shield, and glowed brightly.

"The Thorn Shield, in addition to having a certain degree of protection, also has a spell rebound effect."

Looking at the golden and green light on these people, Zheng Cheng's eyes twitched.

Why do these look like five Songhua eggs? At this time, Purple Poppy also smiled sweetly and said, "I have some too."

As he spoke, a purple flower appeared in his hand and he threw it towards the few people.

Purple petals fluttered and landed on the five people, creating a layer of purple halo outside the golden diamond shield.

"In that case, I'll come too."

Zheng Cheng also spread his hands helplessly, and with a thought, the adrenaline stimulation technique and penicillin bacteriostatic body shield fell on the five people one after another.

At any time, the spirit, physique and perception of several people were completely different and increased several times.

At the same time, the light blue penicillin bacteriostatic shield also made several people's eyes warm.

"Improving my physique, strength, and agility, even my mental strength? It's not like the Berserker War Song where I can't tell friend from foe, and it doesn't have such serious side effects."

"This auxiliary skill is too powerful, much stronger than my Diamond Shield!"

"It can actually increase attack power and health. This is so important for our tanks!"

Zhou Xinyu exclaimed in admiration as he sensed his own strength.

He had felt the adrenaline stimulation technique before in the spiritual paradise, but it was a life-and-death battle at the time, so he had no time to pay attention to this.

At this time, after reading the instructions and effects of adrenaline stimulation, I was even more envious.

There is also the Penicillin Bacterial Shield, which is superior to his Diamond Shield in both defense and endurance.

"Stop talking nonsense, there's a ghost coming."

"Um?"

Several people looked at each other in surprise. Zhou Xinyu said, "It must be the energy in our bodies that attracted the attention of the ghosts. You guys retreat."

After saying that, he took a few steps forward and stood in front of several people.

Soon, several people saw a figure rushing towards them at an extremely fast speed.

He was a tall man, but his skin was gray and black, his muscles were atrophied, his face was covered in blood, and his paws had grown sharp black claws, and he moved extremely fast.

“Watch me!”

Zhou Xinyu roared, thrust his arms forward, and slammed hard into the figure.

With a "bang", Zhou Xinyu's body swayed and then stood firm again.

The figure on the opposite side was knocked away, staggered several steps and almost fell to the ground.

As if sensing the strong breath of life on several people, this figure didn't care about the difference in strength between the two sides at all. He roared to the sky and pounced again.

"Damn... Zombies? Not like that. Zombies? Not like that either..."

Zhou Xinyu roared, stretched out his hand, and a knife appeared in his hand, which he slashed fiercely on the shoulder of the figure in front of him.

The sword flashed with golden light and was extremely sharp. It cut off the left shoulder of the ghost with one blow.

Just like cutting tofu, he cut off its chest and abdomen, and the blood, internal organs and everything else fell out with a "clatter".

This seemingly crazy ghost was killed by Zhou Xinyu with just one move.

The other few people didn't even take action.

Zheng Cheng glanced, and the central radar life monitoring technique was activated. The specific information of the ghost immediately appeared in front of him.

[Name: Blood Demon Beast]

[Race: Undead]

[Level: LV60]

[Strength: 190]

【Physique: 185】

[Speed: 99]

[Spirit: 32]

[Skills: Toxin attack, Devour corpses]

[Toxin attack: When attacking, the blood ghost beast will carry strong blood ghost toxins. Creatures infected by the blood ghost toxins will gradually transform into ghouls. ]

[Devouring corpses: Vampires can restore their own blood volume and mental strength by devouring corpses and sucking blood. 】

【Weaknesses: Light, fire, and lightning energy. 】

[Introduction: A vampire (fake) who was transformed by the vampire virus released by a mysterious person. His previous life was just an ordinary villager.]

"Blood ghost?"

Zheng Cheng shared the intelligence he had obtained with others, and their eyes lit up slightly.

Zhou Xinyu said with even more confidence: "What a rubbish vampire, I killed them all with one strike. Their weaknesses are clearly stated, light, fire, lightning, we just happen to be their nemesis!"

"How about a competition to see who kills the most?"

Zheng Cheng's eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything.

Cui Xiabing was eager to try and said, "I agree!"

He took a handful of Purple Poppy, who reluctantly said, "Okay, okay..."

"Since you all agreed, I'll come too... Eh? That blood ghost seems to have dropped some equipment?"

"Really?" (End of this chapter)
