Beast Core

Xiao Fan lowered his eyes, recalling the second Secret Realm Rules realm: [The danger level of the Calamity Room will continuously increase as the player progresses through exploration.]

The battle in the Beast Room that just happened was actually far less dangerous than the Curse Room he had encountered before.

Even though this is a challenging dungeon that increases in difficulty as you progress, it still doesn't feel as oppressive.

Of course, it could also be because he obtained the Shield Puppet, and his Profession and skills happen to counter the Blue-Skinned Rhino.

The Shield Puppet was able to withstand the ferocious charge of the Blue-Skinned Rhino, completely avoiding the beast's most lethal attack.

His Profession and spell skills perfectly countered the Blue-Skinned Rhino high physical defense and low magic defense, greatly reducing the difficulty of this tough battle.

Therefore, the rooms filled with monsters fighting in the Calamity Room became the type of room he could deal with most easily and pass through most easily.

Xiao Fan glanced around to make sure no special events were triggered in this special room before turning to leave.

The moment he stepped out of the room, Xiao Fan quickly reviewed the patterns of his exploration along the way.

The Calamity Room he just experienced and the special room he experienced last time were only three ordinary rooms apart.

"It seems that every six rooms opened will automatically refresh a special room; this is a fixed guaranteed rule."

The spawn rate of special rooms in the secret realm is random.

After understanding this rule, Xiao Fan's expression became slightly serious.

This meant he absolutely could not skip over any door; he had to check each one one by one.

This was a challenge for him, whose timing was already off.

The entire secret realm is a mix of unknown risks and random opportunities, leaving no room for complacency.

Xiao Fan took a deep breath.

"Next, we must seize the time and accelerate the exploration progress at full speed."

[An empty room was detected; nothing happened.]

Pushing open several doors in succession, they found empty rooms, devoid of resources or danger, only empty corridors and four walls.

Until he entered the guaranteed special room, the cold system notification sounded again in his mind:

[Beast Room has been detected. Players are requested to defeat all alien beasts.]

Upon entering the room, one is greeted by six agile and strange beasts.

Compared to the Blue-Skinned Rhino encountered last time, this time the strange beast called the Eight-Spirit Goat has one more of Blue-Skinned Rhino and 500 more health Blue-Skinned Rhino.

Xiao Fan quickly scanned the information on the eight mythical beasts, the Eight-Spirit Goat, and instantly grasped their characteristics.

Unlike the Blue-Skinned Rhino, the Eight-Spirit Goat have extremely high magic resistance, making it difficult for magic to cause effective damage. Xiao Fan is almost certain that their physical defense is very weak.

At this moment, Xiao Fan truly understood what the Secret Realm Rules meant—the danger level of the Calamity Room increases with the progress of exploration.

His strength attribute is much higher than that of ordinary players, but it is still far inferior to his almost monstrous intelligence attribute.

He doesn't have many combat skills that boost his strength, making it difficult for him to deal high physical damage.

Moreover, the Eight-Spirit Goat are agile and swift, making them extremely difficult to lock onto as they move about. In addition, the room is small, and the nimble beasts constantly maneuver and evade attacks.

With all these factors combined, the difficulty of this battle has increased significantly compared to the battle against the Blue-Skinned Rhino, making it impossible to easily crush the opponent as before.

Fortunately, Xiao Fan could combine ancient martial arts with the damage from his armored weapon, and he quickly killed six Eight-Spirit Goat.

No special events occurred in this Calamity Room; the six Eight-Spirit Goat obtained six Beast Core.

Including the five Blue-Skinned Rhino he had previously obtained and the Beast Core he acquired through a special event, Xiao Fan now possesses 12 Beast Core.
