Ye Hong and his party of five, Ye Hong, Fei Long, Lin Le, Cheng Hu, and Qiao Yun, purchased a total of five mounts.
These mounts are all tall red horses.
This type of horse is extremely rare in reality and can only be restored in the virtual game world.
Of course, Ye Hong paid for the horse.
Although it was nothing to Ye Hong, who had made a lot of money in that war, it moved the other people very much.
After all, except for the cranes that are not sold by the Sword Crane Legion, these horses are already the best mounts that can be bought in Crane City.
But even so, it still took the group a full five hours to reach their destination.
"Judging from the mission prompts, the entrance to the secret realm dungeon is nearby."
Qiao Yun, who received the mission, frowned and looked around.
But there was only dense jungle all around, and there was nothing like an entrance in sight.
"It should be hidden deep in the jungle. Let's continue to explore inside."
Ye Hong glanced around and ordered calmly.
The others had no objection and followed Ye Hong inside.
But not long after they entered the dense forest, a heavily armed team appeared in front of the clearing.
There were about ten people in this group, all riding majestic golden lions.
The leader was a young woman covered in golden lion armor and wearing a lion king's helmet.
This woman's appearance was outstanding, but the lingering sense of sinisterness ruined the aura on her face.
"Huh? Someone actually got there first?"
The woman glanced at the trodden ground and sneered: "In that case, let the people in front act as scapegoats to clear the way for us, and we can just reap the benefits."
After saying this, all the men she brought laughed sinisterly.
The group of people in front were not aware of the danger behind them and were still groping for the entrance to the secret realm.
Only Ye Hong glanced behind him consciously, but didn't say anything.
Suddenly, Cheng Hu, who was searching northwest, shouted: "I found the entrance!"
The group of people quickly gathered towards him, and sure enough they found a deep cave entrance in front of Cheng Hu.
The entrance of the cave extends downward, and it is unknown where it leads.
The dark passage has an unsettling sense of silence.
Cheng Hu laughed loudly and stepped into the cave entrance.
Unexpectedly, Ye Hong frowned and pulled Cheng Hu back: "Wait a minute!"
"What's wrong?" Cheng Hu asked in confusion, and the others looked at Ye Hong in confusion.
Ye Hong didn't speak, just looked at the entrance of the cave quietly.
"Ding! Trigger master-level crisis sensing ability and sense the target environment."
"Ding! It senses that the target environment is a trap environment, please pay attention to the host to avoid it."
"Ding! Found the trap, trap detection ability +1!"
really.
Ye Hong sneered in his heart, picked a branch from the tree next to him, and threw it into the hole.
The branches rolled into the deep passage until a strange sound reached everyone's ears.
"boom!"
It seemed like the sound of something exploding.
Everyone's faces turned pale.
Especially Cheng Hu, who almost stepped into the passage just now, was even more frightened. He looked at Ye Hong with a grateful face: "Fortunately, senior saved me."
The others were also amazed by Ye Hong's ability to foresee the unknown.
"It looks like this entrance is fake, keep looking."
Ye Hong shook his head.
Before entering the secret realm, this extremely confusing entrance appeared.
The difficulty of this hidden mission looks extraordinary!
About five minutes later, a voice came from Qiao Yun: "Come and see if this is the entrance?"
Everyone gathered and saw a puddle in front of Qiao Yun.
What's strange is that the empty opening in the center of the puddle is like a ferocious bloody mouth.
Everyone had no idea, so they all looked at Ye Hong.
"Ding! Trigger proficiency level reconnaissance ability, reconnaissance target environment"
"Ding! Trigger master-level crisis sensing ability and sense the target environment."
"Ding! Reconnaissance completed, the target environment is the entrance to the secret realm."
"Ding! The induction is completed, there is no crisis in the target environment."
Ye Hong nodded to everyone: "Go in."
Several people breathed a sigh of relief and jumped into the opening in the center of the puddle one after another.
After jumping in, Ye Hong discovered that he had actually entered a waterway leading underneath.
As if sitting on a slide, the group of people slid down.
Just a moment later, Ye Hong suddenly looked strange.
The surrounding water pressure suddenly increased sharply!
The water rushing in from all directions seemed to be squeezing everyone to death!
And this water is not ordinary, it seems to be constantly absorbing the immortal energy in everyone's body.
"Ding! Trigger mastery level stress resistance ability"
Ye Hong was fine, but he found that Fei Long and others were blushing. The situation was particularly dangerous!
He instantly understood one thing. The system's so-called no crisis was just targeting him, Ye Hong.
The rest of the people are not included!
In desperation, Ye Hong had to turn his head quickly and think about how to solve the crisis at hand.
Suddenly, he moved his hands, and endless coldness spurted out from his hands.
All the water around was frozen.
The water channel that was constantly pressing inwards also turned into a solidified ice channel.
[Ding dong! Congratulations to the player for developing the wonderful use of Xuanbingxianjue. He will be rewarded with 100 reputation points.]
If the Xuan Bing Immortal Lord knew that Ye Hong actually used his Xuan Bing Xian Jue to do such a thing, he would probably be so angry that he would not even be able to eat.
But no matter what, Ye Hong's action saved several people who were almost suffocated to death.
But because the ice path was too slippery, the group all accelerated and slid down!
Amidst the bursts of strange screams, the group of people rushed out of the ice road and flew directly into the air.
The sky and the earth suddenly lit up, and a stunningly beautiful landscape appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The sky is blue and the petals are flying.
Three waterfalls flowed down one after another, stirring up the dust in the air.
The chirping of birds, the fragrance of flowers, the mountains and flowing water bring peace to people's hearts.
However!
Now everyone is in the sky!
Before they could finish admiring the paintings in front of them, they all screamed and fell from the sky.
After several "bang bang" sounds, everyone fell into the pool under the waterfall, splashing with several huge water splashes.
Fortunately, there was a pool at the landing point, otherwise they would have been reborn collectively and returned to Crane City.
"The system prompts me that the secret mission has officially started!"
Qiao Yun emerged from the water and said excitedly.
Of course, other players who teamed up with Qiao Yun also received the prompt at the same time.
[Ding dong! Congratulations to the player team for starting the hidden mission (Secret Realm: Water Curtain Cave). Please eliminate the secret realm BOSS within one hour and obtain the secret realm token, otherwise the mission will be deemed to have failed.
Penalty for mission failure: Drop the current level 1 experience points.]
