"..." His expression darkened.
"If not, I'm afraid we'll have to make an exception today..." Tianjie said in a low voice.
"...You're right, I'll follow your lead." Tiangang stated.
Tianjie nodded: "This thing should be a passage, where you can sense the vital energy, the vital energy of those humans who are about to be transported here."
Tiangang nodded in understanding, "But what does this have to do with eating that thing?"
"What would happen if the human sacrifice suddenly disappeared during the teleportation?" Tianjie asked.
"..."
"For most people, they would run away immediately, but here, this is the lair of those lunatics, so... they will come to check, we just need to seize the opportunity." Tianjie explained his plan.
Tiangang Quietly listening, then nodding: "I understand."
TianjiePatting Tiangang shoulder, turning around and saying: "Wait, Tiangang will lure merfolk over in a dangerous way. We need to retreat to the edge of the building. When those things come over, the teleportation array will be open. Everyone must pass through quickly!"
"Then how do you know they will come through this teleportation array instead of downstairs?" the middle-aged man just questioned.
"Because humans don't crawl through dog holes, and they won't take the sacrificial passage either," Tianjie glanced at him.
Tiangang Suddenly tilted his head and listened attentively, then said, "Something is coming upstairs, quickly!"
Everyone prepared themselves, Tiangang stepped onto the formation, took a deep breath, spread out his energy, and then... inhaled!!!
A pure stream of vital energy flows into the body,
"Ah~"
Sweet, unprecedented... Tiangang It feels like this person has come alive, sweeping away the tension and exhaustion of the past few days.
Before everyone could react, the air suddenly distorted, and a webbed foot emerged.
"Quick!"
With Tianjie's call, everyone rushed forward. Tiangang also reacted quickly, grabbing the merfolk to prevent him from closing the passage.
Compared to the magic array, the passage in the air is slightly smaller, but still supports several people walking side by side. In just a few seconds, everyone has passed through the passage.
Having just passed through the teleportation gate, the merfolk wielding a steel fork have already surged forward. A Zhengyi Kingdom person, caught off guard, was stabbed through the heart before they could dodge.
Tiangang Indeed full of vitality, able to take on many opponents without falling behind.
Tianjie Secretly sighed, "Having 'eaten' people... can I still be considered human?"
Glancing at the panel, the setting reverted to "real universe."
The crowd scattered and fled, as one person fought their way out, wielding a steel fork that sent merfolk flying in all directions. In a matter of minutes, aside from two members of the Zhengyi Kingdom being fatally stabbed, over a hundred merfolk were completely wiped out.
Tianjie finally had some time to spare, he looked around panting, "Sure enough..." This was the hotel they had entered, and the rescue vehicles parked outside were still shrouded in the gray mist.
He took out a pile of chocolates from his space and threw them to the five ordinary people, "Replenish your energy, then come with us to the military area. Follow us, those who want to leave, hurry up and get out." Tianjie felt upset at the thought of eating.
Tiangang Come here: "What's wrong? Are you upset? Don't you trust me?"
Tianjie Sitting on the ground, took out two cans of beer, and drank one can each.
"I don't lack confidence in you, I lack confidence in everyone."
Tianjie sneered, and regardless of Tiangang's darkened face, continued, "We all know what kind of place Zone A is. Preserving humanity is not easy..."
Tianjie finished a can and then grabbed another one: "Now, in this world, I'm afraid even the only trace of humanity is gone. It's like going from the wolf's den into the tiger's lair."
Watching Tianjie drink four or five cans of beer and pass out, Tiangang shook their head: "If you can't handle it, don't pretend to be profound."
The gray mist outside the door had dispersed, and he hoisted Tianjie on his back and walked towards the rescue vehicle.
Ma Yunyang took out the remaining cola and said, "Tomorrow we will split into two groups, so I'll make a toast first!"
The crowd was speechless.
"You guys don't understand? This cola is precious in the other world. I've brought out all the hidden ones!" No one paid attention to him. Huangpu Xin said, "Everyone, don't be sad. It's not like we're never coming back. We're just splitting up, and Follow-up will catch up."
"Hey hey! Drink my cola and pay attention to me!" Ma Yunyang waved his hand.
Huangpu Xin took a sip of cola and continued, "And just now, everyone saw the system update. The new teaming and intra-team channels can also be used to contact each other at any time."
In the recent system update, the team, team channel, status bar, equipment bar, and so on were all updated.
Under the "Team" section, it says:
[Team: Four Gods with One Noob]
[Members: Huangpu Xin, Chenhao, Ma Yunyang, Wang Na, Zhuge Ning.]
Everyone raised their glasses. Tomorrow is the day when the secret realm opens. In just a few days, the journey has been quite perilous, and there's no need to say much about the friendship that has developed.
"It's all in the cola!" roared Ma Yunyang.
The crowd remained speechless.
After a satisfying meal and a few drinks, as the night fell, everyone returned to their rooms to rest. Huangpu Xin lay on the bed, feeling terrible as he looked at the words "being eroded" in his status bar.
What's even worse is that there is someone on the roof again. This time, the person didn't even bother to conceal themselves, simply suppressing their breath.
"I see you've been crouching for a few hours. Why don't you come down and chat?" Huangpu Xin is still studying the Tian Di Bang.
The person on the rooftop didn't stand on ceremony either, jumped in from the window, and sat on a chair, pouring himself a cup of tea.
"…You are really impolite." Huangpu Xin glanced at this person. Thirteen or fourteen years old, a tomboy dressed as a boy, according to Cui Cui's true energy cultivation, it can be roughly perceived as having the strength of at most the late-stage acquired realm (fifth realm of the acquired stage), but at this age, it should be considered a genius, right?
"What do you want with me?" Huangpu Xin asked coldly.
The tomboy said, "I, um, am a treasure hunter! I hope we can cooperate to explore the secret realm."
"..." Huangpu Xin put down the list of heaven and earth and sat up, saying, "First, if you come to me for help, you should introduce yourself first. Second, your excuse should be reasonable. Treasure hunters don't act like you anywhere. Third, what benefit do I get from bringing you along?"
"Um... feel free to pick anything from our family's treasure trove! How about that?" the heartless person said.
"...Who are you? Can you introduce yourself first?" Huangpu Xin said coldly with a poker face.
"Oh, I, um, can't tell you, or else the plan will be ruined. But once I've said it, it's hard to take it back. I will definitely reward you!"
"...Name, just tell me the name." Huangpu Xin remained unmoved, "Otherwise, just leave..."
"You're so fierce...Wang Tingyu, you must have guessed it's the Wang family..." Wang Tingyu murmured.
Huangpu Xin paused and said, "With your intelligence, it's better for you not to go out."
"Hey! I can tell, you're cursing at me."
Huangpu Xin looked at the person and, in order to avoid getting off track, decided to skip this topic: "What can you offer me? What does your family's treasure trove contain?"
"I can't tell you this. All I can say is that my family has it, and it's not found in the secret realm!" Wang Tingyu said proudly.
Why is this person being deceitful in a place where they shouldn't be deceitful!
"That won't do, we need to make a contract..."
Wang Tingyu jumped up: "I've been waiting for you to say that. Here, this, make a contract. I know you foreigners like contracts, what's it called... oh right, the spirit of the contract!"
"..." Huangpu Xin took a look, there's no problem, it's really just a random pick.
Huangpu Xin signed the contract with a swipe.
Looking at the self-igniting contract, Huangpu Xin said, "This is pretty good. Where did you get it?"
"Oh, this is the Heaven and Earth Contract of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. You just need to spend money to buy it."
Wang Tingyu chattered on while pulling out a crystal and handing it to Huangpu Xin.
Huangpu Xin picked it up and examined it, asking, "What is this?"
"Identification, don't you foreigners have any sense of identity?" Wang Tingyu exclaimed.
"...Then why can we enter the city directly during the day?" Huangpu Xin was somewhat puzzled.
"Of course it's because of The Great Emperor's Realm. My teacher said that Kunyu City is the only city near the secret realm, so during the opening of the secret realm, entry into the city is allowed without proof, saying it's for the convenience of certain people..."
"Alright. So, how did you know I just arrived, and why do you have to find me to enter the secret realm?" Huangpu Xin asked the crucial question.
Wang Tingyu scratched his head: "Of course it was my father who said that. He saw your strong energy fluctuations from the Guardian City Array. Although you haven't practiced cultivation, you pose a huge threat."
"Huge threat and yet they chose me?" Huangpu Xin looked up at her.
"Isn't this the deed to the land? And my teacher said that danger and opportunity coexist," Wang Tingyu said. "Hey, let's go, let's go. We'll be in trouble if we wait for the guards to catch up," Wang Tingyu said impatiently.
"...Wait for me to inform my companions to leave."
Huangpu Xin gathered the scattered people again, explained the reason, and everyone expressed understanding. Because it was getting late and they couldn't leave the city, they had to find another place to hide for the time being.
"Hurriedly and anxiously, don't your parents usually allow you to go out?" Huangpu Xin asked Wang Tingyu who was looking around in the bustling downtown.
"No, I haven't been out. I played in the Wang Mansion, and I don't even know what the specific area of the east side of the city where I live looks like." Wang Tingyu said with a mouthful of candied haws, his speech unclear.
"...Then let's try to stay in a less conspicuous place to avoid being followed," Huangpu Xin said, sensing the three or four guards gathered on the distant rooftop, his eyes twitching as if he hadn't noticed.
Playing house with garlic, Huangpu Xin understands it all.
