Chapter 131: The Former Appearance of the Secret Realm.

Chapter 131: The Former Appearance of the Secret Realm.

As the words of the principal of Haston Academy fell,

Buzz!!

The arena suddenly shook violently, and an extremely intense spatial fluctuation spread out abruptly.

Immediately after, a huge dark vortex tore through the space and descended upon the sky.

The people in the spectator stands witnessed such a scene for the first time and couldn't help but let out shocked exclamations.

The 1,500 freshmen below raised their heads, looking at the space vortex that was like a black hole, their eyes sharp, and their expressions serious.

This is the entrance to the Great Secret Realm.

It is also a spatial channel opened by the principal of Haston Academy with his own strength.

Ordinary small secret realms naturally do not require the intervention of such a powerful individual.

However, the area and number of monsters in this Great Secret Realm far exceed those of a small secret realm.

Those small and delicate secret realm gates simply cannot lead to it.

Moreover, only individuals at the level of the principal have the right to manage such a level of Great Secret Realm.

The rules of this competition have long been understood by the freshmen.

Each person has a jade card.

The jade card is made of a special material and cannot be destroyed without the strength of a third-tier expert.

The jade card has a very special sensing function. When a participant kills a monster, obtains a natural treasure, or kills an opponent, it can be identified through sensing scanning, adding corresponding points to their own team.

Each team will be teleported to a corner of the 'City of Mechanical Evil'.

To participate in a five-day Battle Royale competition.

The survival area will shrink precisely at 0:00 a.m. every day, shrinking a total of five times.

When the fifth shrinkage occurs, the final BOSS of the Great Secret Realm will appear directly. The team that kills it will receive 5000 points.

Of course.

If, before the fifth shrinkage, there is only one team left in the Great Secret Realm, then the final BOSS will appear early.

Buzz!!

At this moment.

The huge black hole that could cover the entire arena suddenly erupted with a strong suction force.

The 1,500 freshmen relaxed their bodies and let the black hole suck them in.

In just a few seconds.

The 1,500 people disappeared from the main stage, and the spatial black hole closed.

And the hundreds of large projection screens in the sky began to connect to the scenes of the secret realm.

The audience couldn't wait to put on their 3D glasses.

This competition is finally starting!

...

...

[Name of the Secret Realm: City of Mechanical Evil]

[Required Level: 20-45]

[Difficulty: Not selectable]

[Team Size: 1-10 people]

[Maximum Capacity: 3000 people]

[Secret Realm Mission: None]

[Equipment Restrictions: None]

[Item Restrictions: None]

[Secret Realm Introduction:

This place was once the capital of a civilization known for its technology, but internal turmoil and suspicion led to its ultimate destruction.

Countless years have passed, and now it is desolate and abandoned.

However, it is precisely because of this that it has become a paradise for mechanical monsters and undead beasts!

Brave adventurers...

You must be careful of the arms and claws in the dark corners, and the poisonous insects moving in the night...]

It is worth mentioning that the level limit for this secret realm is 20–45.

This means that the final BOSS here should be at Level 45.

Even the minor monsters might be around Level 40.

The purpose of this setting is to emphasize the teamwork of each team.

The geniuses who can represent their respective academies in battle may be used to soloing in the secret realms during junior high and high school.

But this time, the setting of the secret realm forces these geniuses, who are used to soloing to focus on teamwork.

After all, monsters at such a high level, even if they are just minor monsters, are very difficult for these geniuses to kill.

...

Buzz!!

City of Mechanical Evil.

A high-rise building somewhere.

Magic patterns appeared in an office.

The next second.

Ten figures wearing ink-colored Yin-Yang robes appeared.

It was Ling Zhan and the others.

However...

When these ten figures regained their sight.

Whoosh!!

A huge mechanical arm actually grew out of the wall, and the mechanical claw was covered with sharp blades, like the mouth of a giant beast full of rows of teeth!

In the instant when the mechanical arm appeared,

It directly attacked the ten figures!

Suddenly,

A petite and lovely figure dashed out from the crowd.

She wielded a heavy golden hammer and swung it fiercely at the mechanical arm claw!

Clang!!

The mechanical arm claw was directly knocked back.

But it didn't die completely.

Then,

A slender and tall figure 'blink-stepped' closer, raised their fist, and with a thud,

The mechanical arm claw was completely shattered.

"The health bar is so thick!"

Charlotte pouted and frowned, saying, 

"This isn't a monster; it's just a mechanism in the secret realm."

At this moment, Ling Zhan explained calmly,

"High-difficulty secret realms almost always have these kinds of mechanisms. 

Some will trigger debuff effects when a living being enters, weakening the perception, attributes, etc., of beings that do not belong to the secret realm.

Others contain poisonous miasma, continuously reducing the health of the explorers in the secret realm at a slow pace."

Wait a minute.

And this kind of mechanism in front of us.

Should be that when a strange creature is found to enter, a mechanical arm claw is randomly generated in a certain part of the secret realm scene to attack the strange creature.

Moreover, defeating the mechanical arm claw does not count towards the score.

"What should we do now?"

At this moment.

All the geniuses looked towards the slender figure.

During this time, Ling Zhan had already earned the respect and obedience of these nine geniuses with his strength.

Even the extremely proud characters like Hull and Temuris were willing to follow Ling Zhan's orders willingly.

"Let's go to the top of the building and take a look at the surroundings first."

Ling Zhan said softly.

Then.

The group arrived at the rooftop.

And finally, everyone could see a glimpse of the iceberg of this city of mechanical evil.

Unique, aesthetically pleasing yet dilapidated buildings came into view, their walls covered with moss and vines.

Ancient streets crisscrossed, overgrown with weeds, with the constant chirping of insects.

Looking out, the view was filled, and no end could be seen.

It was clear that this dilapidated city, which seemed to have come from an unknown time and space, was once home to millions of people.

However...

Now the entire city exuded a sense of decay and decline.

In the dark sky, countless black crows circled, their hoarse and unpleasant caws echoing incessantly.

The streets below.

Countless zombies, mechanical monsters, and demonic beasts roamed the streets.

They fought each other, but they also knew when to stop.

"It's hard to imagine that this is actually a secret realm..."

Zhu Yaoguang looked at all this with a serious expression.

"The reality of human survival can actually be turned into a secret realm?" Anna's exquisite face was filled with gloom.

Her race believed in the god of life.

Each zombie below represents a living person.

"This is not a city from our world. Perhaps, a deity turned this city into a secret realm and threw it to our side."

Ji Wuming sighed.

Except for Ling Zhan, everyone else showed a thoughtful expression.

They seemed to have touched upon some unknown and terrifying answer.
