Chapter 158: Secret Realm (5 more chapters to make up)
"Do you think that with the Federation's space technology support, you can bring in alloy weapons that don't have many technological elements?"
"Wrong, absolutely wrong!"
"The essence of the secret world is idealism. Even a piece of scrap copper and iron can be considered a technological weapon as long as it is forged!"
"You have all forgotten your roots as warriors!"
"When you are teleporting into the secret realm, where is your martial arts will? Use it to fight against the rules of the secret realm so that you can carry as many items as possible... even if it's just a dagger!"
"The rules of this space bubble aren't particularly strong. I hope that by the end of the special training, you can at least bring in black powder weapons!"
Instructor John waved his hand and said, "Now... those without weapons, all of you, carry your weights and run!"
He roared loudly, looking like a devil!
"Those who have weapons, double your training! You need to become stronger! This is not for others, you are fighting for your own lives!"
…
"In the army, cooperation is the most important thing... Especially when you are swinging your sword at the evil god's followers who are stronger than you... If you don't have a trustworthy teammate to block the counterattack for you, death is the only outcome... Compared to a temporary team, a team that has been working together for a long time is naturally more trustworthy..."
One month later.
After the special training, Fang Xing roughly understood why the various teams were at the top of the military merit list in the barracks.
“Boss…”
Song Jingang came over and said, "Let's form a team... I've already thought of a name for the team, it's called the Young Eagle Team, and I've also asked a senior to join us..."
"oh?"
Fang Xing looked up and saw a pretty woman.
"Hello, I'm Xue Ting, a senior student at Blue Star Public Security University!"
Xue Ting has a pair of eyes that seem to be able to speak: "I have heard of the name of classmate Fang on the battle list a long time ago... After all, I am an outdoor cultivator, and I have also learned a few healing secrets. I can also be responsible for reconnaissance, so I should not be a burden to you two..."
"Boss...how is it?"
Song Jingang looked at Fang Xing expectantly.
"Let me think about it..."
Fang Xing did not make an immediate decision.
As an intern, the most important thing is autonomy!
After encountering the alarm, you can choose to go or not. If there are too many applicants, the final allocation will be made by the omniscient brain.
Moreover, you only need to complete the mandatory task once a month.
If you don't have confidence, you can go back to university directly. It's better to be punished than to die.
Therefore, he did not want to participate in any multiplayer secret world war.
He just likes one-on-one fights. After all, at his current level, if he encounters a higher-level servant... wouldn't he just kill them indiscriminately?
What’s even more clever is that due to the rules of the secret world, if he acts alone, he is only likely to encounter high-level servants and is unlikely to encounter clan-level evil creatures!
"I think the same is true for the yellow-browed kid... That kid is even more ruthless. He has always stayed in the fourth realm of martial arts and has not exceeded the limit. The people he met might be low-level servants..."
"Therefore, for students whose strength is seriously above the standard, being a lone ranger may be safer and secretive enough...any means used in the secret world will not be known to the outside world."
With this in mind, Fang Xing rejected Song Jingang's request.
"Is that so... Then I'll go find someone else. It's not good to have too many people in the team..."
Song Jingang sighed: "It seems that the boss is ready to be a lone ranger. Without special circumstances, it is impossible for us to fight side by side..."
After all, the imaginary space is a battlefield! The battlefield changes rapidly, and anything can happen! If the front-line troops suffer heavy losses, a large number of secret realms descend at the same time, or encounter special circumstances where the clan mutates and upgrades, even interns will be forced to enter the battlefield! ...
Metal castle.
Mission Hall.
Fang Xing deliberately changed out of his nano suit, put on an ordinary school uniform, carried a dagger on his back, and silently watched the constantly jumping screen.
Every flash of red light on the screen represents an invasion from the imaginary space.
If the interception fails, it means a repeat of what happened on the Eagle Star!
"Gu Yun's father...is his name Gu Renwang, right?"
"I have been dead for so many years without realizing it... and I have finally gained some strength to stand on the battlefield and protect humanity?"
"Well, protecting humanity is too much of a responsibility for me to bear... but revenge on the evil gods is my duty."
[C-level alert! Interested participants please confirm within three seconds! ]
[Confirmed! 'Gaelotte Squad' has received the mission, please gather at Space Warehouse No. 5 within ten seconds! ]
…
The processing speed of the 'omniscient brain' is very fast, and the coordination between the old students' actions is also very tacit.
Occasionally, the space chamber would open, revealing a team covered in blood, some howling to the sky, and some being sent directly to the infirmary.
Fang Xing watched coldly for the whole day and found that all the alarms were mainly C and D level, with occasional B level tasks.
As for the A-level mission? It seems to exceed the limit of this training barracks, so it has never been broadcast, but it must exist in other real barracks.
"According to common sense, I should choose a D-level mission and kill the lower-level servants... But I am now on location. If there are lower-level servants in the secret world, I can't even enter... In other words, I have to take at least a C-level mission. If I choose a B-level, it is very likely to become a joint operation, and the omniscient brain will forcibly assign teammates to me. At that time, I will have to listen to the orders of the person with the highest military rank. It's quite helpless..."
After a month of special training and research, Fang Xing has figured out the operating rules here.
At this moment, another space warehouse opened.
Two figures walked out.
"Huh?"
Fang Xing discovered that these people were all acquaintances.
Although Huyan Qiu Shui and An Xing were not his friends, he had seen each other many times on the battle stage in the virtual space.
"Senior!"
He stepped forward and found that Huyan Qiushui and Anxing looked very solemn, with a hint of sadness.
"It's the top three teams... one of them died?!"
"Are there any casualties?"
"Oh no, it's Luo Kai from our school. He was once the chief..."
…
The venue was in complete chaos.
"Sorry, Junior, I still have a lot of things to deal with."
Huyan Qiu Shui gave Fang Xing an apologetic smile, and went with An Xing to receive treatment in a hurry, while also being questioned.
After all, Luo Kai was an elite at St. Armor University, and his death here had to be investigated.
"This is a battlefield... anyone can die."
When Fang Xing saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
If he knew that the top three team had seriously discussed inviting him, he would be even more sad.
At this moment, another glaring alarm sounded.
[C-level alert, please sign up within five seconds! ]
"C-level, just right for me."
Fang Xing immediately signed up, and the all-knowing brain even issued a warning: [Please confirm, there will be no reinforcements for a single-person mission, and it is very dangerous... If you fail, not only will you die, but the mission difficulty of the second-line interception force will also increase. ]
"confirm!"
He naturally wouldn't be afraid.
[Ding, you have accepted the mission. Please rush to Space Warehouse III within 5 seconds. The weapons depot has been opened. You can choose any weapon...]
The news of the 'omniscient brain' came instantly.
"Sure enough, this all-knowing brain is quite intelligent, and it has almost everything planned out... Knowing that I am good at single combat and number one on the battle list, does that mean that my success rate in accepting missions is high?"
'So out of all the other applicants, I was chosen?'
Fang Xing smiled in his heart and did not go to the armory.
Even if he went, he could only bring an alloy sword, which was not as convenient as his original sword.
Space Warehouse No. Ⅲ.
Fang Xing walked in alone, carrying a machete on his back.
"Another Lone Ranger!"
Some senior students couldn't help but glance sideways, and it was unclear whether there was admiration or a feeling of seeing a madman in their eyes.
Bang!
The metal door slammed shut.
In the originally empty hall, only Fang Xing was standing silently, with a different feeling.
"Is it finally coming? The secret world battlefield..."
"I should know this. I have learned it since high school..."
"Those that needed to be reviewed were also given intensive training by John for a month."
"Now, the only thing left is actual combat!"
Fang Xing's eyes were firm.
With a flash of silver light, his figure suddenly disappeared.
…
A forest.
The trees were tall, dark, and twisted, like skinny arms reaching toward the sky.
Snap!
Fang Xing stepped into the forest and broke a dead branch with his feet, making a crisp sound.
He pulled out his right hand, and a ghost-head knife appeared in his hand, with terrifying knife energy overflowing.
"Is this... the secret world?"
Fang Xing sighed. Although he had traveled through space several times before, they were all artificial space bubbles of the Federation, which were somewhat different from traveling through the secret world.
The biggest difference was that when he was traveling through time and space, he did feel the world's resistance! If he hadn't used his martial arts will to fight back in time, he might have been left with nothing...
He looked at his body again and found that some high-tech equipment, including his mobile phone, were left in the space warehouse. He could only wait until he returned to get them.
"But... there is a sense of relief from being out of the cage."
"After all, this is the territory of the extraterritorial evil god. The Federation cannot monitor it... Does that mean I can do whatever I want?"
Fang Xing touched his forehead and said, "The connection to the Gate of the Heavens is still there... This means that I can travel through it at any time, or summon my immortal clone as a surprise force..."
"Anyway, having a solid back road is always a good thing for me."
He pointed his toes and turned into a breeze, reaching the top of the strange black tree.
From afar, this secret battlefield is not small. It seems to include this forest and a vague village in the outside world.
Looking further away, all you can see is thick, dark fog.
"Generally speaking, the stronger the clan is, the larger the secret world will be..."
"In fact, the secret world carrying the Son of God is sometimes like a real small world, with an entire civilization attached..."
"Based on actual combat tests and subsequent deductions, the alien civilization carried by the secret world may be the nutrients and food for the growth of the Son of God..."
"Of course, this secret world is very luxurious. It is difficult to own it unless you are a top-level clan member..."
"Later, the Federation speculated that... these secret realms might be fragments of space cut from reality by the evil gods from outside the domain..."
Fang Xing carefully recalled the textbook knowledge, then moved towards the hazy village.
The village is built with huge stones, and the door frames are very high, over three meters high. It has a unique style and looks a bit like the residence of a little giant.
At this moment, the entire village fell into a strange silence, as if there was not a single living thing in the huge village! "Is anyone there? No one, I'm coming in."
Fang Xing's ghost-head knife flashed, and a huge stone door in front of him was chopped open.
The house was simply furnished with bows and arrows, axes... and a few unknown animal skins. It seemed to be a hunter's cabin.
Fang Xing glanced around and saw a strangely shaped thick metal syringe on a stone table that looked like a desk.
Although it is unknown how much time has passed, there is no trace of rust on the syringe, especially the needle tip, which has a hint of cold light.
"It feels totally incompatible... barbarism and technology..."
"However, those civilizations that worship evil gods seem to be so contradictory... They are still eating raw meat and drinking blood, but they have mastered the technology of space travel. Do you dare to believe it?"
Fang Xing moved the syringe with the tip of the knife and entered the next stone house.
This stone house is bigger, and the furnishings inside are equally simple, but there are two syringes.
He even saw a strange object that resembled a giant stethoscope.
"Um?"
The power of Fang Xing's territory spread out, and immediately a discovery was made.
There was a flash of knife.
A wall collapsed with a loud bang, and among the bricks and tiles, there was a notebook with a black cover.
This notebook is so big that it is almost difficult for a normal person to hold it in one hand. The cover is black, but the paper inside is a strange scarlet red.
Fang Xing had an idea, and a breeze blew by, turning it open.
I saw strange characters inside, which looked like the claw marks of different wild beasts, giving a wild and primitive feeling.
"The language of the evil god's followers... I have never learned this. I need to decipher it."
"Any items brought back from the evil god must be inspected... The process is very troublesome."
This is also to protect students and soldiers.
As for reading it directly here? That was almost impossible. Not to mention the language barrier, even if Fang Xing could understand these strange characters, it would take a lot of time to completely translate a book of the Heretic God.
A page of this notebook may contain countless contents.
More importantly, it cannot be copied. One can only rely on one's own mental strength to slowly comprehend it...
"Perhaps... this is where the secret of why this village is deserted lies."
Fang Xing's mind moved, and he prepared to throw this secret book into the world of immortal cultivation.
In fact, he has always been interested in the evil gods from outside the domain, especially after being entangled by the enchanting bitch, Mahavairocana Curse, he couldn't help but have contact with her.
"Perhaps there is some knowledge about the Gate of Nothingness among them..."
Just as Fang Xing was about to continue his search, his ears moved, and his figure disappeared instantly with a dance step.
Boom!
Countless dust flew up, and a huge claw fell from the sky, destroying the original house! Fang Xing stood in the air and saw the "monster" that attacked him!
Its shape is hideous and terrifying, like a huge ball of flesh with a huge human-shaped outline on top of it, as if it was made up of countless giants glued together, with strange feet and claws stretching out!
Just the first sight of it brings about a horrible mental pollution!
