Secret Realm Rules

Where are the Secret Realm Rules hidden?

Xiao Fan frowned, his gaze sweeping over the surroundings. The room before him was empty, the four walls smooth and flat, without any engravings or writings, revealing no clue whatsoever.

"Could there be a hidden danger within this room? Only by overcoming the hidden peril can we obtain the Secret Realm Rules?"

Having learned from the previous incident of being ambushed in the Puppet Room, Xiao Fan secretly pondered the situation.

Upon realizing this, Xiao Fan instantly became extremely vigilant.

With a slight thought, he commanded the Puppet to slowly advance and scout the way, while he himself slowed his pace and followed closely behind, always on guard against possible attacks from all directions.

A person and a Puppet walked on the cold stone surface, their footsteps crisp and clear, echoing in the empty, enclosed room.

As they made their way to the center of the room, the anticipated attack never came. The surroundings were eerily quiet; there was no unusual movement, no red light, and no strange beasts or Puppets emerged.

"Could I have guessed wrong?" Xiao Fan wondered. "The Rule Room isn't dangerous. To obtain the rules, I need to find them myself within the room?"

Lost in thought, he unconsciously stepped into the very center of the room.

The moment his feet touched the ground, a solemn and clear system notification suddenly rang out, each word echoing throughout the entire Rule Room.

[Secret Realm's underlying rules successfully unlocked!]

[Rule 1: The rooms in the first-level secret realm are divided into five categories: Empty Room, Opportunity Room, Calamity Room, Rule Room, and Shop Room. These five types of rooms spawn randomly, without a fixed order or location.]

After hearing this rule, Xiao Fan instantly gleaned two crucial pieces of information from it.

It turns out that this entire long corridor of secret chambers is only the Secret Realm Layer One.

"In other words, there are even higher levels within the secret realm."

Xiao Fan's expression suddenly turned serious.

Even the first level harbors a curse, and the Puppet attack is such a deadly crisis. Who knows how many dangers lie ahead? He must hurry and speed up his exploration.

The second piece of information is that there are a total of five room types on this floor.

Looking back on his journey, he has encountered all sorts of rooms: Empty Rooms, Calamity Room, Opportunity Room, and Rule Room. The only room he has yet to see is the Shop Room.

"The Shop Room... I wonder what treasures they sell inside, and whether they have rare items unique to the secret realm?"

A hint of anticipation flickered in Xiao Fan's eyes as he pondered to himself.

[Rule 2: The danger level of the Calamity Room increases with the progress of exploration.]

As the cold, solemn system voice fell, Xiao Fan was immediately taken aback, a look of astonishment appearing on his face.

"What the heck?"

The single rule sent a chill down his spine.

"The danger level increases? This secret realm is outrageous!"

This rule is easy to understand. All the Calamity Rooms in the secret realm that are full of hidden dangers are not of fixed difficulty. Instead, they will continuously upgrade as the explorer progresses, with the danger level increasing steadily and becoming more and more dangerous as they go further.

Xiao Fan instantly recalled the Curse Room he had first encountered. It was merely a low-level Calamity Room in the early stages of the secret realm, and the strange curse had almost trapped him and ruined his exploration.

If he hadn't exchanged the exorcism item in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

If even the initial calamities are this troublesome, one can only imagine the dangers and perils of the advanced Calamity Rooms that await us as we explore further!

At that time, it will likely no longer be a simple curse or Puppet ambush; it will probably be a more terrifying secret realm killing move, and the slightest carelessness will lead to death.

A strong sense of crisis instantly enveloped Xiao Fan's heart. He suppressed his joy at unlocking the rules and his expression turned completely serious.

"We need to come up with a safer solution."

Xiao Fan took a deep breath, suppressing his apprehension and unease. His eyes flashed rapidly as some ideas formed in his mind.
