Points Mall, Second Floor

During the subsequent journey through the secret realm, Xiao Fan no longer held back his trump cards, directly using the two Instant Movement Secret Art he had exchanged for with his Secret Realm Points to minimize travel time.

After the second Treasure Map Fragment was completely integrated into the broken treasure map, the respawn interval of the mythical beasts was fixed at one cycle every two hours.

With the help of two Instant Movement Secret Art, Xiao Fan skipped two rounds of travel time, saving a full four hours of precious time in the secret realm.

Just as Xiao Fan had predicted, the overall level of all the exotic beasts rose another notch.

With his current cultivation and combat strength, although he can still barely crush his opponent and win, he can no longer easily kill them and end the battle in an instant as before.

Every time he faces an enemy, he must be fully focused, using his positioning to precisely evade the beast's deadly attacks while waiting for his skills to cool down and seizing the opportune moment to unleash his attacks.

As time went on, the duration of each battle was significantly prolonged, and the energy expenditure became increasingly severe.

The final wave of Beast Tide, in particular, was densely packed and incredibly powerful. Their relentless attacks quickly turned the battle into a perilous situation.

The roars of the beasts shook the earth, and their claws and teeth, carrying a chilling and ferocious aura, sealed off all of Xiao Fan's space to dodge.

Even though Xiao Fan had accumulated a lot of combat experience, he still found it very difficult to deal with, and he even used up the Body Spirit Liquid and Intermediate Healing Pill that he had previously redeemed in the Points Mall.

The crystalline Body Spirit Liquid entered his body, instantly restoring his strength. A perfectly round healing pill was swallowed, its medicinal power rapidly dissolving and continuously repairing his internal injuries.

Even so, Xiao Fan fought fiercely for a full hour, finally slaughtering the last wave of alien beasts.

The ground was littered with the mangled corpses of strange beasts, their crimson blood soaking into the rubble and soil beneath their feet, and a thick, Fierce Beast aura permeated the air.

On the massive corpse of the last beast leader, a dazzling golden light slowly rose, standing out conspicuously against the dimming light of the secret realm.

Seeing this, the huge weight that had been hanging over Xiao Fan's heart finally lifted, and he exhaled a long breath of foul air mixed with the smell of blood. He stepped forward, reached out and gently grasped the Treasure Map Fragment, which was surrounded by a faint spiritual light, and it landed steadily in his palm.

As his fingertips traced the cool, delicate texture of the fragment, Xiao Fan's eyes gleamed with barely concealed joy. "The last Treasure Map Fragment has finally appeared."

He immediately looked up, his gaze quickly sweeping over the floating secret realm timer panel in front of him.

[05:38:54]

"Only five and a half hours left."

Xiao Fan's gaze suddenly sharpened, and a strong sense of urgency surged in his heart.

According to the Secret Realm Rules, once the time limit in the secret realm is exhausted, regardless of whether he has found the secret treasure or not, he will be forcibly removed from the secret realm by the Secret Realm Rules and ejected from the secret realm, and this trip to the secret realm will be completely fruitless.

He quickly reviewed the patterns in the Treasure Map Fragment, his expression growing increasingly solemn.

Unlocking each fragment is accompanied by five waves of regular monsters, plus a final wave of ultimate monsters.

Moreover, the frequency of appearances of these strange beasts has increased exponentially.

If all goes as expected, in the final map, the time for each round of monster appearances will be four hours.

Roughly estimated, it will take at least twenty-one hours to clear the last part of the map and find the coordinates of the secret treasure.

The battle lasted 21 hours, with a time gap of five and a half hours. Under normal circumstances, he would have absolutely no chance of finding the ultimate treasure of the secret realm.

The road ahead is almost a dead end!
