Chapter 116 Wilderness, Anger Unspoken, The Secret Realm of the GorgeChapter 116 Wilderness, Anger Unspoken, Thousand Gorges Corridor Secret Realm

Just then, a series of footsteps suddenly came from afar. Gu Yiyun’s expression darkened, and she peeked out to see what was happening.

Then they saw a group of Three-Eyed Clan professionals rushing towards the Weeping Iron Canyon in the distance.

The Three-Eyed Clan looks almost identical to humans, except for one thing: they have a vertical eye between their eyebrows. The pupil of that vertical eye is very large, making it appear as if the entire eye only has black and no white, which looks very eerie.

The rest of the facial features are almost identical to those of a human.

but……

They are still of a different race.

Because humans are reproductively isolated from them.

Gu Yiyun looked at the group of three-eyed people with a very ugly expression. She was an epic class, and these three-eyed people were no match for her. Even a 2nd-tier class only had a 20% damage reduction and damage increase... She had been running a lot of Abyss dungeons in the past month and had obtained some good equipment, which greatly improved her attributes.

However, after killing one group, another group would come, making skill cooldown time the biggest constraint.

She currently lacks powerful area-of-effect (AoE) skills.

Therefore, she will not act rashly unless absolutely necessary.

”If only I had a few powerful area-of-effect skills...”

She clenched her teeth.

She wouldn’t hesitate to kill any alien race.

But in the end, he turned around and left via the path he had chosen beforehand.

”The only solution right now is to stay put for the time being and kill more monsters in the secret realm to level up... I hope to awaken a stronger area-of-effect skill soon...”

The entrance must be blocked; that’s the only solution Gu Yiyun can think of.

Nearly a month has passed, and the continuous fighting and constant ambushes have brought about a dramatic change in her mindset...

……

There are more monsters in the wilderness than you might imagine.

Qin Fang set off for Jindong City, which required traversing a large area of ​​wilderness.

Because the distance between Iron Fang and Lingtai was so short, and there were several centaur cities nearby, the monsters outside the city were naturally cleared out quickly, and there weren’t too many of them.

But as you go further afield, the number of monsters increases.

These monsters are incredibly diverse; sometimes, the entire field of vision is filled with all sorts of monsters... Even if a professional gets close, they will choose to take a detour.

These monsters are all dungeon monsters, but they are not limited to Tier 0 or Tier 1... there are even a lot of Tier 2 and Tier 3 monsters.

This depends on the dungeon level in the vicinity.

There is also a hierarchy of power between professionals and monsters.

Numerous high- and low-level monsters roam the wilderness, mixed together, but they do not attack each other.

The vast majority of monsters are from normal dungeons. However, there are also some monsters from difficult dungeons, and even hell dungeons mixed in...

Normal dungeons have the highest monster spawn rate, followed by Hard and Hell dungeons.

Monsters from Abyss dungeons can appear in very rare circumstances.

However, their numbers are extremely small.

In the most extreme cases, even boss-level beings may appear.

And once a boss appears, it’s almost always an Abyss-level boss.

That would signal an impending disaster.

Because the boss will summon all the monsters nearby and attack all living things in the vicinity.

In other words, it’s a monster siege.

However, monster sieges are a rare occurrence, perhaps only happening once every few years.

These abyss bosses that appear in the real world are also known as ’world bosses’... requiring an army to defeat them.

Even alien races and humans will cooperate.

After all… the alien races are now considered part of this world. And these monsters will kill any living being they see… including the alien races.

This was Qin Fang’s first time traveling such a long distance, and also the first time he had ever seen these sights that he had only ever seen in books.

However, he was in a hurry to get somewhere and wasn’t there to kill monsters. With his absolute invisibility, these monsters naturally couldn’t detect his presence at all.

He continued his journey towards Jindong City.

More and more teams of professionals gradually appeared on the road.

Dungeons are one option for leveling up, but not the only one.

In fact, many professionals form small teams to hunt monsters in the wilderness.

Firstly, to cleanse the monsters from this world.

Secondly... there might be unexpected surprises when you kill monsters in the wilderness.

For example... the vast majority of people dare not enter the Abyss instance. After all, it’s a one-way street, and the danger is too great.

But in the wilderness, you might encounter monsters from the Abyss.

The drop rate of these Abyss dungeon monsters that spawn in the real world is usually very high...

This is one of the surprises.

In addition, there are occasional time-limited dungeons or secret realms in the wilderness. These time-limited dungeons and secret realms exist for a limited time and will disappear once the time expires.

If someone successfully wins your heart, you will disappear.

These types of dungeons or secret realms may be dangerous and unknown, but the rewards are generally very high.

Putting aside the drop rate issue, the rewards for clearing the dungeon are incredibly generous.

Some people have even received legendary rewards after completing the game!

Legendary equipment... you can imagine what that means for the vast majority of ordinary professionals.

If one can use it, it will naturally be an epic boost to one’s own strength.

Even if you don’t need it yourself, selling it... that would be an unimaginable fortune.

In this situation, it naturally attracts many professionals.

This has kept the number of professional teams in the wilderness consistently high.

……

A day and a night passed quietly. Qin Fang had crossed a large amount of wilderness, left Tieya City, and arrived in the Jindong City area.

I took out my phone, opened the map, and then located the ’Thousand Gorges Corridor’.

Cell phones from Tieya City have long lost signal here; to get a signal, you’ll need to get a new SIM card from Jindong City.

However, some basic functions are still usable, and you can still bring up a national map.

After determining his direction, he headed towards the Thousand Gorges Corridor Secret Realm. A day and a night had passed; he hoped his second employee was still alright…

He thought to himself.

……

The entrance to the Thousand Gorges Corridor Secret Realm is now surrounded by a large number of Three-Eyed Tribe people.

”Well, let’s go.”

Every now and then, white light would appear, and from within it would emerge some human, three-eyed, or centaur professionals.

But the treatment is clearly different.

Once the Three-Eyed Clan and Centaur professionals emerge, they can leave immediately.

However, the human professional would immediately be surrounded by several three-eyed people. Amid the human professional’s furious expression, the third eye on the forehead of one of the three-eyed people would glow and scan the other party, obviously probing for the other party’s basic information.

Only after confirming that it is not the target will they move aside to let it leave.

There were many human professionals near the entrance to the secret realm, and this scene made them all look very unpleasant.

But they dared not speak out against their anger.

On the other hand, the three-eyed and centaur tribesmen, who were also watching the show, all looked at the human professionals with mocking expressions... This obvious differential treatment made them feel extremely accomplished.

Privileges are something that are relative.

The Three-Eyed Clan and Centaur Clan can leave directly, but humans have to undergo testing first... This is blatant discrimination and insult without any attempt to conceal it.

”It seems that Miss ’Frost’ intends to stay inside and not come out.”

In the area where the Three-Eyed Clan was most concentrated, there were some people in the very center, clearly the core group.

One of the handsome, three-eyed men, dressed in a robe, watched the scene with his three eyes narrowed.

”It’s been three days... They must have anticipated that we’ve surrounded this place, so they probably want to upgrade inside.”

Another three-eyed man beside him said.

”Unfortunately, the Thousand Gorges Corridor is only a low-level secret realm; those above level 3 cannot enter...”

The handsome three-eyed man frowned.

”It’s alright. More than three thousand warriors from our tribe have gone in. Good news should come out soon.”

The person next to him reassured him.

The handsome three-eyed man remained silent for a moment, then sneered: ”To mobilize more than three thousand warriors for an epic class... even if that human ’Frost’ lady dies, she can still be proud.”

”exactly.”

The people around him smiled and nodded.

……

This is what Qin Fang saw when he arrived.

Human professionals were severely discriminated against and treated differently. Hundreds of three-eyed professionals surrounded the entrance, and some idle centaur and three-eyed professionals also gathered there, watching the humans make a fool of themselves.

In the nearby town, Qin Fang saw some human professionals wearing official insignia on their chests. They were just watching from a distance. Some of them showed anger, but most of them seemed numb.

Qin Fang frowned.

Qin Xiaoyou had mentioned this to him yesterday, but he was in a hurry to get there and hadn’t wandered around other dungeons or secret realms, so he didn’t really feel it.

But now, I truly feel it.

This place is not even as good as Irontooth City used to be... Under Shen Changyuan’s leadership, Irontooth City at least dared to confront the centaurs head-on.

But here...

Qin Fang frowned.

After glancing at the crowd who dared not speak out, he remained silent for a moment before letting out a soft sigh.

Forget it, I’d better go find my second employee first.

He remained completely invisible and entered the secret realm of the Thousand Gorges Corridor directly.

……

The Thousand Gorges Corridor Secret Realm is a huge secret realm. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and a light rain was falling.

What came into view was a vast, rolling wilderness.

Qin Fang immediately spotted several battles taking place ahead, with many professionals hunting nearby monsters.

The monsters here are all beast-like, some resembling cheetahs but larger than tigers; others like apes, with muscular bodies; and several bull-like monsters, and so on…

The number was unexpectedly large.

There are an unusually large number of professionals here; it’s rare to see someone fighting monsters alone. Most of the time, it’s a complete team of five.
-
1247-
954-
846
……

These squads were clearly very experienced in killing monsters, their movements were well-planned, with tanks absorbing damage, warriors and mages dealing damage, and priests providing healing.

In no time, the health bars on the heads of the monsters were emptied, and they died on the spot, dropping many orbs of light.

But soon, light appeared again nearby, and new monsters emerged from the light. Immediately, a team of professionals rushed to meet them and continued the battle.

This was the first time Qin Fang had ever seen such a scene, and he found it quite novel.

...This is the monster-hunting mode in the secret realm.

In this secret realm, there are many monster spawn points, and the number of monsters here remains at a relatively stable value.

There won’t be too many, but once they decrease, they’ll be refreshed quickly.

This is why many people choose to level up in secret realms rather than in dungeons.

Monsters in the secret realm are endless and respawn very quickly. Moreover, the experience gained is generally comparable to that of difficult dungeons... so naturally, people would prefer to come to the secret realm.

However, the secret realm is also more dangerous.

For example, Qin Fang saw several groups of three-eyed and centaur tribes who, after killing the monsters they had killed, would let out a strange laugh and immediately go looking for trouble with nearby human professionals, stealing their monsters and forcing the humans to leave.

The humans whose monsters were stolen dared not speak out in anger, and could only abandon the monsters, which they had already severely damaged, and slink away in disgrace...

Besides the professional player teams leveling up here, there were also some people who went beyond the monster spawn points and ventured deeper into the area.

The monsters here are not high level; the deeper you go, the higher the monster level becomes.

This is a Tier 2 secret realm.

Theoretically speaking, level 60 monsters of tier 2 are the highest level monsters here. The level range is quite vast.

Professionals naturally choose monsters that match their strength and level to level up faster and gain greater rewards.

Qin Fang was still in stealth mode, and no one had discovered him. He fell into deep thought...

Next, how do you find your second employee?
