"Buzz—"
The teleportation ended, and the dizziness disappeared.
Shen Xing looked around and saw a blazing campfire, its orange flames illuminating the surroundings.
Thick, grayish-white fog swirled all around, but it kept the firelight at bay, preventing it from advancing any further.
It looks similar to the scenes in the game.
No, there are still significant differences.
"Huh—this place looks like the campsite at Mingyue Bay Park. I slept here one night before."
Qin Lang asked in surprise.
Shen Xing looked around and saw that the ground beneath his feet was paved with stone bricks, and in the thick fog, he could vaguely see the silhouettes of birch trees and man-made treehouses.
Before they could observe further, a series of rustling footsteps suddenly came from the depths of the thick fog.
The three of them simultaneously tensed up and entered battle mode.
Unlike games, since this is the real world, there are no game prompts.
But after struggling in the misty land for half a month, they had developed an instinctive reaction to the crisis.
"They're here."
Shen Xing's voice was slightly deep: "Let's each summon our troops and prepare for battle."
As they finished speaking, they simultaneously stretched out their arms, revealing the mist flower that existed between reality and illusion.
Grayish-white mist surged from the petals, revealing the phantom images of its main force.
One, two, three —
Shen Xing manifested four or five beastmen in a row, but his brain did not feel any burden, and was even quite relaxed.
It seems that I can continue to manifest even more types of troops?
The other two also noticed this, and disbelief appeared in their eyes.
It should be understood that with their current mental strength, they can only materialize one or two types of soldiers in reality at most.
"It seems that the mental energy required to summon troops through the mask in the Misty Void Realm is much less," Xu Jiayi said with slight surprise.
"Indeed, I feel like I could summon several squads of halflings." Qin Lang glanced to the side and subconsciously asked, "Shen Xing, how do we fight?"
Shen Xing pondered for a moment, then said, "In that case, let's adopt the traditional Warrior-Hunter-Assassin lineup."
"I'll summon a squad of orcs to act as the front line, Jia Yi will summon a squad of archers for ranged damage, and Qin Lang, you will materialize your halfling form to clear the monsters."
The two nodded solemnly, their consciousness continuing to connect with the Flower of Mist, and more illusory figures of various units appeared one after another.
Moreover, summoning units within the Misty Sky Realm not only consumes significantly less mental energy, but also eliminates the need to call out the unit's name, thus avoiding a potential death.
"Buzz—buzz—"
Wielding two axes, the leader, a three-star elite, stepped forward first, followed by a powerful three-star orc squad.
On the other side, tall, slender figures carrying hunting bows and wearing leather armor appeared in front of Xu Jiayi.
However, the one leading the charge was not the Bayonetta summoned the first time, but the Moon Arrow summoned the second time at the Players' Guild.
He also reached the elite three-star level and led fifteen ordinary three-star archers.
Qin Lang summoned an elite two-star halfling, leading thirteen ordinary two-star halfling assassins.
The three simultaneously connected their consciousness to their respective units and took over the battle.
At the same time, the monster in the thick fog stepped into the firelight's range.
What came into view was a group of humanoid creatures dressed in tattered clothes, with highly decomposed bodies, emitting a foul stench.
—The walking dead!
A monster, like the Lost Ones, that roams the land of mist.
However, compared to the Lost Ones who tend to use mental attacks, they are better at frontal assaults and can launch attacks at a faster rate.
Although you can't see the attribute panel, you can judge the opponent's approximate strength by their aura based on your experience in the game.
These monsters are around level 5 or 6, with a potential of ordinary one to two stars, and don't seem to pose much of a threat.
Of course, they also knew that this was just the first appetizer.
"roar!"
The first zombie let out a hungry roar and pounced on them.
The other monsters also instantly went berserk, like a pack of mad dogs.
"Go, but watch out for their [Corpse Poison Claws], and try not to injure your troops."
Shen Xing gave the order in a deep voice, and then took the lead in controlling ten orcs to go forward.
Xu Jiayi and Qin Lang also controlled archers and halflings to join the battle.
at the same time.
In the parking lot of Mingyue Bay Park, many uniformed figures with calm demeanor stood in front of the large screen, watching the challenge progress of the 100 contestants.
"here we go."
A burly middle-aged man said in a low voice, "These young guys are not bad. Most of them are elite soldiers of level two or above. It seems that Jiangcheng has produced quite a few good talents this time."
"Not all of them are from Jiangcheng; some were forced in from other cities."
A young man wearing glasses said indignantly, "It takes every few years for a low-star Mist Realm to appear in our Jiangcheng. These guys are like sharks that smell blood, relying on their backgrounds to force people over here and steal Jiangcheng's resources."
"Hehe—we're all from China, regardless of which city we're from."
Old Wang smiled gently and said, "As mentioned before, the country will provide more resources to those outstanding geniuses."
"If there are any outstanding young talents in our Jiangcheng, I will also strive to create opportunities for them."
"So there's no need to complain; this is the treatment those geniuses deserve."
The others nodded in agreement, no longer bothering about the incident of stuffing people in, and instead focusing on the players' performance.
"This Yu Feifei is really strong. She didn't even need to summon any troops. She easily wiped out the first wave of monsters all by herself."
"I remember her mother was also a Tier 3 Expert-level Lord, right? No wonder she's so powerful..."
"Tsk tsk—Gu Feng's performance was also amazing. He easily wiped out several times the number of enemies with just three ordinary troops. His exquisite troop control is even better than some extraordinary lords."
"Indeed, everyone thought he was only making rapid progress because of his father's resources, but no one expected that this little guy is also very strong on his own."
"Look over there, there's another little guy with a sword—"
The crowd was buzzing with discussion, occasionally commenting on a particular player's outstanding performance.
The monsters in the first round weren't very strong, so there wasn't much pressure on any of the players present, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed.
Meanwhile, inside the Misty Sky Realm.
Shen Xing, Qin Lang, and the other two worked together and quickly dealt with the forty-strong zombie army.
At this moment, the monster corpses on the ground gradually turned into black mist and dissipated.
And in the place where the body disappeared, many familiar things were scattered.
"Huh? These trash zombies dropped so many soul stones and soul fragments!" Qin Lang exclaimed in surprise.
In the game, they are used to the phenomenon of killing monsters and getting materials.
But this was the first time I'd encountered it in real life, so I was quite surprised.
However, considering that this place is the "Kagami no Sora" (The Realm of Mist), it makes sense.
Shen Xing said, "Put them away first, and we'll distribute them after this is over."
"good!"
Qin Lang responded and immediately directed his halflings to begin cleaning up the battlefield.
To be fair, while these hobbits weren't much of a fighter in direct combat, they were very efficient at cleaning up the battlefield.
In just over ten seconds, they swept all the spoils off the ground.
They quickly took inventory.
In the first wave of battle, they killed more than forty zombies, obtaining 147 soul stones, 413 Vinar silver coins, and a considerable number of soul fragments.
This number left everyone speechless.
"Just as the forum said, the drop rate in the dungeon is very high."
Qin Lang said happily, "Moreover, it is said that in this kind of endless mode, the more items drop as you progress, and the higher their quality."
"It seems we need to try to hold on until we reach even higher wave numbers."
They then maintained the same formation and faced wave after wave of monster attacks.
The second wave consisted of a group of Lost Ones and Evil Dogs, numbering an astonishing fifty. Among them was an Elite One-Star Lost One, which was easily killed by Roar.
The third wave featured a special monster that looked like a mass of moving black slime. It was level 5 or higher and had the potential to reach the level of a normal three-star monster.
The fourth wave is slightly more difficult, with the appearance of an elite level 2 Dark Goblin leading dozens of goblins in a massive attack.
The fifth wave introduced the Fallen Overseer monster, and there was more than one, causing the difficulty to skyrocket.
Some people couldn't hold on any longer and were the first to crush their crystals and leave the stage.
"Buzz—buzz—"
In the waiting area plaza, streaks of white light appeared, revealing the figures of the players.
Their faces were ashen, and several of them had shocking bloodstains all over their bodies, clearly indicating that they had just escaped death.
At this moment, the mature woman in charge of registration slowly walked over.
She gently raised her hand, and a bright light suddenly rose behind her, as if a sun were rising again, causing everyone to instinctively close their eyes.
As the golden light dissipated, a tall woman clad in a platinum robe and wearing a holy crown appeared.
The opponent hovered in mid-air, lightly tapping his scepter, and golden light rained down.
The injured players all felt waves of warmth wash over them, and their injuries healed rapidly.
Even the abnormal statuses caused by the monsters vanished instantly at that moment.
"It's a healing profession: Oracle Priest!"
"Such a powerful effect; it even easily purified the 'Corruption' status caused by the elite Lost Ones."
"I know her. Senior Jiang Rong is the only expert-level lord in our Jiangcheng specializing in healing."
The novice players were amazed, their gazes towards the mature woman filled with longing and admiration.
"Go and rest." The mature woman who had summoned the oracle priest waved her hand gently, her voice magnetic and warm.
They all nodded and stepped aside.
As players left the game, the screen gradually went dark.
Half an hour had passed since they officially entered the secret realm.
There are now about 82 players left out of 100, with 18 eliminated.
Moreover, as the challenge waves increase, the difficulty skyrockets, and the number of eliminated players also continues to soar.
The sixth wave, the seventh wave, the eighth wave —
"Buzz—buzz—"
One by one, the contestants crushed the crystals in their hands and left the stage in disappointment.
On the large screen, the remaining display area is decreasing.
Fifty-seven people —
Forty-three————
Thirty-one people —
An hour later, less than twenty people remained, struggling to hold on.
"Just one more wave, just one more wave!"
A young man, covered in blood but with eyes full of resentment, declared: "If we can survive the ninth wave, there's a chance we'll get breakthrough materials!"
"Mom, can't I still do it?"
The other players were also very unwilling to give up. Those who could persist to this number of waves were already the best among the novice lords.
Many players have already trained their main units to level 9 and have been stuck at Tier 1 for two or three months, or even more than half a year.
They were just waiting to get some advanced materials in the Misty Void Realm to break through.
Unexpectedly, the endless mode was so difficult that most people were forced to quit after seven or eight waves.
"Don't be discouraged, you've done a great job."
Old Wang smiled and comforted her, "It doesn't matter if you don't obtain breakthrough materials in the secret realm."
"In this secret realm, the top thirty players will all receive a breakthrough material as a gift from the Jiangcheng official team."
"The top twenty, the top ten, and even the top ten will receive exclusive mystery building rewards."
Upon hearing this, hope rekindled in everyone's eyes.
They all looked at the large screen not far away, next to which was a leaderboard.
The record contains detailed information such as the contestant's name, the number of waves they completed, and the duration of their commitment.
Based on this data, a ranking from 1 to 100 was created.
"Damn, I'm 28th! That was close! I almost missed the top 30!"
"Haha! I'm ranked 25th, I have breakthrough material!"
"Thank you to the leaders of Jiangcheng, thank you to the country!"
Some players were overjoyed to see their rankings.
Those ranked outside the top 30 were filled with regret.
However, they quickly composed themselves, after all, being able to enter the Misty Void Realm was an opportunity in itself.
Many players have already acquired a considerable amount of resources in the previous eight waves of challenges.
There's nothing you can do if you're not as skilled as others; you can only try harder next time.
Meanwhile, within the Fog Sky.
After a tough battle, the remaining dozen or so players have basically finished the eighth wave of challenges.
Most people are in very poor condition right now, and the Mohe troops have suffered heavy losses.
The area where Shen Xing was located was also in a mess, with a large number of monster corpses slowly dissipating in the firelight.
The orc squad and the halfling squad sat on the ground resting, their bodies covered with various claw marks and bloodstains.
The three lords themselves had also exhausted a great deal of mental energy, their faces as pale as paper.
"Hey guys, give me two of these."
Qin Lang suddenly took off his black shoulder bag and pulled out three walnut-sized fruits with wrinkled surfaces.
"These are brain fruits?" Shen Xing asked, somewhat surprised, then said, "I've already eaten three; eating more won't do any good."
Xu Jiayi also shook her head, indicating that she had already eaten her fill.
Qin Lang explained, "This isn't to increase your attributes."
"I saw on the forum that although taking Brain Fruit multiple times will not continue to increase mental energy, it can restore a lot of mental strength."
"We've exhausted too much resources. If we don't replenish them, we might not be able to hold out for the next wave."
Shen Xing and Xu Jiayi were slightly taken aback, but they understood Qin Lang's plan.
However, isn't it a bit too extravagant to use a brain fruit worth tens of thousands of dollars just to restore mental energy?
But then I thought about it again.
The monsters in the Misty Sky Realm have a high drop rate, and they have already obtained a lot of resources.
If we can hold on a little longer, the gains will definitely make up for the consumption of the Brain Fruit.
The two of them did not refuse and took the brain fruit directly, stuffing it into their mouths.
As the fruit pulp entered my throat, a cool sensation rose from my abdomen and went straight to the top of my head.
My previously drowsy mind instantly cleared up.
"Hiss—" Shen Xing shook his head, his eyes gradually clearing: "I must say, this brain fruit is really effective."
Xu Jiayi glanced at Qin Lang's black shoulder bag and asked suspiciously, "You knew we would encounter this situation, so you prepared in advance?"
"Haha, no, not at all."
Qin Lang laughed and said, "It's just better to be prepared. I'm worried that I might encounter some unexpected events during this Void Realm Challenge, so I prepared some supplies in advance."
"I just happened to get some more gold coins from the old man this time. Before coming here, I bought some fruit scrolls and such from the Players Association, and now they come in handy."
Before they could continue their conversation, heavy footsteps sounded again, as if some enormous creature was rapidly approaching.
"Pfft—Pfft—"
In the thick fog, several tall silhouettes were faintly visible, and a stench of decay wafted over.
"They're here."
Shen Xing's voice was slightly deep, and the other two also perked up.
Under their watchful eyes, four or five bloated monsters, whose bodies seemed to be pieced together from different animal organs, slowly stepped into the firelight.
"It's hatred, so much of it!" Qin Lang exclaimed instinctively, his face turning pale.
