The Sixth-Floor Secret Realm

Soon, Xiao Fan and his companions realized something was wrong.

Wherever they went, Fierce Beast would appear.

After killing another Fierce Beast, the fat man scratched his animal-skin hat and asked, "Is the Beast Zone on the sixth floor really that big?"

They had been walking for half a day, and Fierce Beast were still everywhere.

They had never encountered this situation before, from the first to the fifth floor.

Qin Muyu wiped the dagger, his almost perfect face slightly red from the cold.

"Above the sixth floor of this Myriad Phenomena Tower, it's likely that there are no longer distinct Beast Zone."

"No distinction Beast Zone? What does that mean?" the Zai Zai asked, puzzled.

Xiao Fan glanced at Qin Muyu; she had the same thought as him.

"That means the Fierce Beast on the sixth floor don't have a fixed area. In other words, the entire sixth floor is the territory where Fierce Beast beasts roam," Xiao Fan explained.

"It seems that above the sixth floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower, the Fierce Beast's activity areas are no longer fixed."

Xiao Fan lowered his eyes; this mode was very disadvantageous to the players.

If nothing unexpected happens, the higher you go, the denser the Fierce Beast will become.

They will also switch from hunting Fierce Beast to Survival Mode.

In that case, his plans had to be changed.

On the seventh floor, the Fierce Beast are already at level 13-14.

If I'm with the team, things are fine; there shouldn't be any major danger.

But he was destined to ascend to a higher level of the tower, and he and the other seven, including Qin Muyu, would have to part ways then.

At their level, the survival pressure on the seventh floor would be immense.

As Xiao Fan was thinking, someone patted him on the shoulder.

"Brother Chen, what are you thinking about?" the fat man asked, leaning closer.

Let's find the secret realm and conquer it first.

Unlike staircases, the entrance to a secret realm doesn't follow a fixed pattern. Whether you find it or not depends entirely on luck.

Xiao Fan and his group of eight searched the sixth floor for a whole day, killing quite a few Fierce Beast and even defeating two bosses, but they still couldn't find the entrance to the secret realm.

"Clearing Level 10 Secret Realm only gives 200 Points per person, which is less than what you get from defeating a boss. If it's really too much, we can just skip it," Swift as Wind said nonchalantly.

The two bosses provided the eight players with a total of 2560 Points.

This reward far exceeds the 200 reward from clearing the secret realm.

Swift as Wind felt it was better not to fight in this secret realm!

"Brother Chen, Lao Feng is right. It takes much longer to clear a secret realm than to fight a boss, and the Points are far less than what you get from fighting a boss. If all else fails, let's skip this secret realm, rest for a bit, and go straight to the seventh floor," Garfield Without Fat, also advised.

Xiao Fan didn't speak. For some reason, he just wanted to conquer this secret realm.

However, thinking about how he still had to go to the top floor, Xiao Fan sighed inwardly.

"Keep looking, if you still can't find it, go up to the seventh floor."

The eight people searched until nightfall, and just as they were about to give up, they suddenly saw a bright light ahead, which was unusually clear in the darkness.

"It's the entrance to the secret realm!" the fat man exclaimed excitedly, pointing towards the light.

Only the white aura at the entrance to the secret realm is this bright.

"Let's go take a look, everyone be careful," Xiao Fan instructed before the eight of them headed towards the light.

Please select to enter: 1: Normal Dungeon 2: Special Secret Realm

"Huh? This secret realm has options?" The group looked bewildered as they looked at the system prompt.

This was the first time they had encountered such a situation.

"What is Special Secret Realm? Which one should we choose?" Ye Changge was even more confused.

He's always been a lone wolf, and this was his first time tackling a dungeon at level three.

This was the first time the fat man and his companions had ever seen Special Secret Realm, and they were all very curious.

Xiao Fan's eyes lit up.

Let's choose Special Secret Realm.

Under normal circumstances, Special Secret Realm will drop some game items.

"What if it is the Heart of Myriad Phenomena?" A glimmer of hope welled up in Xiao Fan's heart.

If he can obtain the Heart of Myriad Phenomena on the sixth floor, then going to the top floor is optional.

"You choose, we'll all listen to you," Qin Muyu said indifferently.

Xiao Fan didn't hesitate any longer and directly chose "2".

The next second, the white halo in front of me turned into a dazzling array of colors.

"Confirm entry into the Special Secret Realm <Heaven and Earth Myriad Phenomena>?"

"Yes."

His vision blurred, and the next second, Xiao Fan found himself standing on a huge, compass-like stone platform.

There are ten passageways along the edge of the stone platform, and nine small patterns at the entrances of the passageways.

There was a knife, a flame, leaves...

Apart from the stone platform where they were and the nine roads, the rest of the world was a bottomless abyss.

Just one glance at it is enough to make one's heart pound and body go weak.

"Brother Chen, something's not right about this secret realm!"

The fat man looked around and felt that nothing seemed quite right.

It was very different from the secret realms they had seen before.

Actually, Fatty and his friends weren't much better off than Ye Changge; they had only ever cleared one ordinary dungeon in Zone 18: the Misty Forest.

Then there's the normal dungeon on the third floor. I haven't even tried the Special Secret Realm.

They had only read the strategy guide for the Level 10 Trial Secret Realm in Zone 18; they hadn't actually tried it yet.

Upon entering the Special Secret Realm for the first time, everyone except Xiao Fan was completely bewildered.

Looking at the nine passages surrounding the stone platform, Xiao Fan guessed, "This secret realm seems to allow each of us to choose a path. As for what's along the way or what we need to do at the end, I have no idea."

"What? Each of us goes our own way? That won't do! I dare not." The Zai Zai shrank back, waving his hands so fast they were almost blurry.

Without Xiao Fan's command, he dared not move recklessly in the secret realm.

Xiao Fan remained silent, his gaze fixed on the nine roads around him, each clearly narrow enough for only one person to pass at a time.

Each of these nine paths will definitely require each person to complete it independently.

What's worse, their team only has eight people.

Eight people, nine paths—how do you manage that?

Xiao Fan had a headache.

This Special Secret Realm doesn't play by the rules.

Troublesome!

"Brother Chen, this is definitely a trick by the secret realm. It wants to separate us and defeat us one by one. We absolutely cannot fall for its trap!" The fat man stepped forward, his small eyes flashing with shrewdness.

Xiao Fan's face darkened. "Don't be so ridiculous. A secret realm trick?"

He thinks the fat guy is just too timid!

"Fatty's right. It's too dangerous to go separately. Let's all go together. We can just go nine times if necessary," Garfield Without Fat quickly chimed in.

Xiao Fan:...

Qin Muyu and Ye Changge were both fine; they had both experience fighting alone before and were very confident in themselves.

However, none of the five people, including the fat guy, had actually fought any monsters since entering the game; they had always been in a team.

They really can't separate!

Xiao Fan shook his head. "No, it will be more dangerous for us to go together."

The road is so narrow, if they encounter any obstacles along the way, none of the eight of them will be able to escape!
