Money Was Hard to Earn, and Shit Was Hard to Eat

Zhanfeng is competent in both strength and character, but he lacks courage.

If it were someone of Zhou He's stature, they would have chosen to trust him and wouldn't have pulled this stunt halfway through.

Zhanfeng still falls short of the principle of trusting those he employs.

After a long silence, Zhanfeng finally made up his mind.

"Everyone... follow my instructions."

"Time is precious. There can be no next time. Every time you hesitate during the battle, you put your teammates in greater danger."

Xiao Fan spoke slowly.

Zhanfeng was taken aback, then apologized, "I'm sorry, Great God Jiu Chen, I won't do it again."

Following Xiao Fan's instructions, everyone entered different paths.

Although the two paths were impassable, at least they could see and hear each other, which made it easier for Xiao Fan to give orders.

The two teams moved forward at the same pace, covering a distance of about fifty meters.

Monsters from the secret realm have appeared on the Red Path.

It's a humanoid monster!

Name: Dance Disciple

Level: 30

HP: 4600/4600

This monster has a lot of health, but fortunately there aren't many of them, only eight. Zhanfeng are already level 49 or 50, so with a 20-level difference, it shouldn't be too difficult to defeat them.

"Holy crap, how come there are still people in this secret realm?" the Jinmao exclaimed in surprise.

In the past, the monsters and bosses they encountered in the secret realms were either Fierce Beast or mutated plants; this was the first time they had ever seen a human.

For a moment, I didn't know whether to fight or not.

"The red health bars have all appeared, what are you all standing there for? Quickly take them down, just stand still and keep attacking."

When Xiao Fan's voice came, the little monster had already run up to Zhanfeng and the others.

The group snapped out of their shock and quickly grabbed their weapons, engaging in a fierce fight.

Along the Red Path, eight small monsters will appear every fifty meters; they are all Dance Disciple.

With five damage dealers and one healer, and a level advantage of almost 20 levels, the fight wasn't difficult.

The Green Path where Xiao Fan was located was clear all the way, and he didn't see a single monster.

After eliminating another wave of monsters, the Jinmao cautiously glanced at the Green Path and muttered, "I really envy the green side. They don't have to do anything. The Green Path is definitely safer. We should have always taken the green path before."

"Jinmao, if you keep doing this, I won't care what happens to you," Zhanfeng warned.

"Captain, I was wrong. I didn't mean anything by it. I just thought the green area was safer," the Jinmao quickly explained.

"Alright, there must be a reason why God Jiu Chen is doing this. Just follow his instructions."

"Understood, Captain."

Although there were always small monsters on the red side, one wave would appear before the next, so there was no danger. Zhanfeng felt there was nothing to complain about.

On the green side, it's too easy, even a bit boring; all you can do is watch your teammates on the Red Path kill enemies.

The team walked for an unknown amount of time, and finally, a huge square appeared in the distance.

"We're almost there. That should be where the boss is."

"This is the green channel, "Lele said excitedly, pointing to the square not far away.

This was the easiest time she'd ever fought a mob in a dungeon.

Because there was no actual playing time, all the pressure was on the teammates.

Haha, although her teammates worked hard, she was really relaxed.

With the road almost at its end, Lele looked relaxed.

"I'll go check out the boss up ahead first."

He started to run forward as he spoke.

"Don't wander off!"

Seeing this, Xiao Fan hurriedly tried to stop him, but it was too late.

Lele had only taken two steps when a huge, colorful Musical Note appeared out of thin air above her head.

"Huh? What's that?" Lele looked up curiously. Suddenly, Xiao Fan's anxious shout came from behind her.

"Don't look! Run! Everyone on the green road, run! Run towards the square!"

"Why are you running?" Lele asked, completely bewildered.

But the next second, the colored Musical Note crashed down on her head.

At the same time, a large number of colorful Musical Note appeared above the green channel.

"Damn it, I knew it wouldn't be that simple." Xiao Fan cursed under his breath, then shouted loudly at the two still bewildered people.

"Run! What are you all standing around for?"

Xiao Fan was speechless. This team was ranked in the top ten of the gathering area, yet they were not as good as the chubby Zai Zai from their Zone 18.

Actually, the Zhanfeng Squad can't be entirely blamed for this.

Xiao Fan was the one who directed the Fatty and his friends when they entered the game, and they were already used to following his orders.

The Zhanfeng Squad has never had a commander; they've always operated on their own, and this has become a habit over the years.

In addition, it was my first time venturing into the Special Secret Realm, and I never expected so many unexpected things to happen there.

In other words, they've always been carefree and undisciplined.

"Ah!"

A scream of Lele came from ahead.

Those Musical Note are not solid objects, but rather composed of some kind of energy.

It doesn't hurt when it hits you, but it can make your health bar disappear.

Two-thirds of Lele's health bar visibly melted.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

When Zhanfeng and the others from the Red Path heard Xiao Fan's shout and looked over, they witnessed the horrifying scene of Lele's health bar melting.

The sheer scale of the damage left them horrified.

"Lele, run!" Zhanfeng and the others shouted anxiously.

Lele finally realized what was happening and hurriedly tried to run away, but because she had lost too much blood, her body was already in a weakened state.

"What are these things?" Lele panicked completely.

What terrified her even more was that another Musical Note appeared above her head.

"Lele!" Superman and Camel Xiangzi were also in the green channel, saw this and tried to run over to pull her away.

But the Musical Note above their heads also began to fall, forcing them to dodge.

"I told you to run towards the square!" Xiao Fan's vision went black upon seeing this.

Do these people even know how to follow orders?

"Waaah~ It's over! I can't escape!" Lele looked at the Musical Note above her head and felt despair.

Just then, she suddenly felt a surge of life flowing into her body, and she felt as if she had recovered!

Without Xiao Fan's command, Lele dashed ten meters away, dodging the falling Musical Note.

"That was close!" Lele gasped for breath, patting her chest.

"What the hell are we waiting for? Run to the square!" Xiao Fan couldn't help but curse.

He was tired, really tired!

This group is really hard to manage!

For the first time, Xiao Fan felt that money was hard to earn and life was unpleasant.

Team members who don't follow instructions are even harder to manage than those who are bad at the game.

He couldn't just ignore it; after all, this wasn't a game, and if someone died, they were really dead.

It affects his team's winning percentage!

Fortunately, he had previously increased his intelligence, and with the addition of the Sun and Moon Firefly skill, he leveled it up to level nine, resulting in a considerable amount of healing.

With a single skill, Lele's level 48 health was brought back to 80% health.

Lele didn't know what was happening, but Zhanfeng and the others on the Red Path had been watching them closely and could see it Qingqing.

"Jiu Chen... he really is a healing player!"
