Chapter 35 – Hidden Secret Realm, Dark Zombie Nest
Under Chen Jun's lead, around a hundred Professionals from Mist Rain Pavilion arrived at the location of the Dark Zombie Nest Secret Realm.
And Su Jinyan was among them!
The Secret Realm allowed a maximum of a hundred people to enter as a team.
After forming the team, the hundred-member group from Mist Rain Pavilion entered the Dark Zombie Nest Secret Realm!
Standing not far away in an inconspicuous corner, Zhang Yue watched Chen Jun enter the Secret Realm and prepared to take action himself.
Just then, another large wave of Professionals suddenly swarmed in!
"Supreme Guild?"
Zhang Yue saw that under Liu Yao's command, nearly two hundred Professionals from the Supreme Guild split into two hundred-member teams and entered the Dark Zombie Nest together!
In addition, numerous solo players and small studio teams also entered the Secret Realm one after another.
This Secret Realm was destined to be a battlefield for heroes!
After all, one of the tasks in the Second World was for Professionals to clear a Secret Realm.
In a regular Secret Realm, dying required a Resurrection Scroll worth tens of thousands to come back to life.
For this upgraded hidden Secret Realm, there was a benefit of one free resurrection, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for commoners who couldn't afford Resurrection Scrolls!
Zhang Yue's main target was Chen Jun; he didn't want to harm other Professionals.
So, he took advantage of the fact that not too many Professionals had entered the Dark Zombie Nest yet and entered the Secret Realm alone.
***
"Ding~ Welcome to the Level 15 Hidden Secret Realm [Dark Zombie Nest]. The Secret Realm task has been issued: Please kill 30 zombies (the number increases with the team size; this is the solo number), and kill the Gatekeeper of the Secret Realm, the Dark Zombie Lord!"
Swish!
White light fell.
Zhang Yue was randomly born in a corner of the Dark Zombie Nest.
Ahead, within the dark and damp nest, a pungent stench of decay filled the air, accompanied by low zombie growls.
Zhang Yue immediately picked up the Golden Secret Order.
"Ding~ As a prestigious holder of the Golden Secret Order, you have three modification permissions for the Dark Zombie Nest Secret Realm. Please choose the permissions you wish to modify!"
***
Meanwhile, on the other side.
With a large swath of white light falling, a hundred Professionals from Mist Rain Pavilion appeared in a huge nest chamber within the Dark Zombie Nest!
Everyone in the team received a unified Secret Realm task message: Kill a total of 500 zombies and kill the Gatekeeper of the Secret Realm, the Dark Zombie Lord!
At this moment, Chen Jun, the Elite Grade Royal Archer who had struggled until 3 AM last night to level up from Level 12 back to Level 14, took a silver bow from his back and shouted, "Brothers, we must win the first clear reward of the Secret Realm. Form groups of five and kill!"
With that, the hundred Professionals quickly split into 18 teams and spread out nearby, starting to hunt the zombies scattered throughout the nest chamber.
As for why it was 18 and not 20 teams, it was because Chen Jun was afraid of dying!
A Fireball Spell and an Ice Spike Spell, with 504+450 damage, took out two-thirds of the health of a Level 16 Dark Zombie in front of him.
With two 50-point Frostbite effects and the Fireball Spell's 60-point Burn damage per second, combined with a normal attack's 270-point Crit Damage, the Dark Zombie was killed on the spot!
Killing a Level 16 zombie at Level 17 only earned him 1 point of forced experience.
Nothing else.
Stepping over the Dark Zombie's corpse, Zhang Yue continued forward.
He summoned the Silver Armored Scorpion to clear the path ahead.
In just over ten minutes, Zhang Yue had cleared 30 Dark Zombies.
At the same time, he quickly reached the center of the Dark Zombie Nest.
Looking around, in a dark ruin, a Lord-grade zombie clad in Iron Armor and wearing a cape was leaning on a throne.
Surrounded by a large group of Dark Zombies.
At the moment, there was no sign of any other Professionals.
Because everyone had just entered the Secret Realm, and the starting point was equidistant from the center.
How could anyone else have Zhang Yue's speed to reach the core area so quickly?
At this moment, the zombie lord on the throne also noticed Zhang Yue.
It pointed at Zhang Yue and let out a roar.
In the next moment, hundreds of Dark Zombies swarmed towards Zhang Yue like a tidal wave!
***
On the other side.
The hundred high-level Professionals from Mist Rain Pavilion cut through the thorns.
It took them nearly an hour to finally kill 500 Dark Zombies as a team!
Seeing that they were about to reach the core area where the Dark Zombie Lord was, Chen Jun was ecstatic: "Who can be faster than Mist Rain Pavilion? It seems the first clear reward of this Secret Realm is ours, hahaha!
Once we get the Secret Realm Scroll, we'll use the strength of our entire guild to upgrade it to King Grade, take on the King Grade Bounty Mission, and my power will soar!
By then, I can easily crush that trash Zhang Yue with one hand!"
A smug look appeared on Chen Jun's sinister face.
Seeing Chen Jun's smug expression, Su Jinyan was truly disgusted.
Next, the team entered the core area of the Dark Zombie Nest.
However, at that moment, all the Professionals from Mist Rain Pavilion were stunned by the scene before them!
Looking around, in the vast dark ruins, countless Dark Zombie corpses lay scattered on the ground.
On the throne that originally belonged to the zombie lord, a Beast Tamer in a black mage robe sat with one foot on the Level 17 Dark Zombie Lord, holding an ice staff on his shoulder.
He calmly looked at the Mist Rain Pavilion team and said, "Oh, you finally made it!"
