Chapter 72
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions brightened.
Some players who originally intended to hide their strength have now quietly changed their minds.
At this moment, the thick fog at the park entrance began to churn and change violently.
In just a few seconds, a gate actually formed from the thick fog.
The doors were wide open, as if extending a silent invitation to them.
"Alright, the secret realm has opened. Everyone, let's go in."
Wang Kun solemnly said, "On behalf of the Jiangcheng Anomaly Handling Bureau, I send you all off to battle. I wish you all a safe return."
The players' gazes hardened as they walked toward the open door.
Yu Feifei was the fastest; with a single push of her incredibly long legs, she shot forward more than ten meters in an instant.
Its movements were light and swift, truly like a cheetah.
With a few leaps, it disappeared into the thick fog.
Other players followed suit, stepping through the gate one after another, their figures disappearing into the thick fog.
"Let's go in too," Shen Xing suggested.
"Good."
Qin Lang nodded, then pushed the wheelchair, and the three of them walked forward together.
The moment they were completely enveloped by the thick fog, a strange feeling welled up inside them.
It was as if I had stepped into another space, and a dizzying sensation washed over me.
When their vision returned, they were near a Bonfire.

"Buzz..."
The teleportation ended, and the dizziness disappeared.
Shen Xing looked around and saw a blazing Bonfire, its orange flames illuminating the surroundings.
Thick, grayish-white fog swirled all around, but it kept the firelight at bay, preventing it from advancing an inch.
It looks similar to the scenes in the game.
No, there are still significant differences.
"Huh... this place looks like the campsite at Mingyue Bay Park. I slept here one night before," Qin Lang said in surprise.
Shen Xing looked around and saw that the ground beneath his feet was paved with stone bricks, and in the thick fog, he could vaguely see the silhouettes of birch trees and man-made treehouses.
Before they could observe further, a series of rustling footsteps suddenly came from the depths of the thick fog.
The three of them simultaneously tensed up and entered battle mode.
Unlike games, since this is the real world, there are no game prompts.
But after struggling through the Land of Mist for half a month, they had developed an instinctive reaction to danger.
"They've arrived."
Shen Xing's voice deepened slightly. "Let's each summon our units and prepare for battle."
As they finished speaking, they simultaneously stretched out their arms, revealing the Flower of Mist that existed between reality and illusion.
Grayish-white mist surged from the petals, revealing the phantom images of their main troop type.
One, two, three...
Shen Xing manifested four or five orcs in a row, but his brain did not feel any burden; in fact, it felt quite relaxed.
It seems... I can continue to materialize even more unit types?
The other two also noticed this, their eyes widening in disbelief.
It should be understood that with their current mental strength, they can only materialize one or two types of soldiers in reality at most.
"It seems that displaying troops through masks in the Mist Void Realm consumes much less mental energy," Xu Jiayi said, slightly surprised.
"Indeed, I feel like I can summon several squads of halflings." Qin Lang glanced to the side and subconsciously asked, "Shen Xing, how do we fight?"
Shen Xing pondered for a moment, then said, "In that case, let's adopt the traditional Warrior-Hunter-Assassin lineup."
"I'll summon a squad of orcs to act as the front line, Jiayi will summon a squad of archers for ranged damage, and Qin Lang, you will materialize your halfling form to clear the monsters."
The two nodded solemnly, their consciousness continuing to connect with the Flower of Mist, and more illusory figures of various units appeared one after another.
Furthermore, summoning units within the Mist Void Realm not only consumes significantly less mental energy, but also eliminates the need to call out the unit's name, thus avoiding a potential suicide.
"Buzz... buzz..."
Wielding two axes, the leader, Elite Three Stars, Da Hou forward first, followed by a powerful three-star orc squad.
On the other side, a series of tall, slender figures carrying hunting bows and wearing leather armor appeared in front of Xu Jiayi.
However, the one leading the Bayonetta summoned the first time, but the Moon Arrow summoned the second time at the Player Association.
He also reached the Elite Three Stars, leading fifteen Common 3-Star archers.
Qin Lang summoned Elite Two Stars halfling, leading thirteen Common Two Stars halfling assassins.
The three simultaneously connected their consciousness to their respective units and took over the battle.
At the same time, the monster in the thick fog also stepped into the range of the firelight.
What came into view was a group of humanoid creatures dressed in tattered clothes, their bodies highly decomposed, emitting a foul stench.
--The Walking Dead!
A monster, like the Lost One, that roams the Land of Mist.
However, compared to the Lost One tend to use mental attacks, they are better at frontal assaults and can launch attacks much faster.
Although you can't see the attribute panel, you can judge the opponent's approximate strength by their aura based on your experience in the game.
These monsters are around level 5 or 6, with a potential of Common One Star to two stars, and don't seem to pose much of a threat.
Of course, they also knew that this was just the first appetizer.
"Roar!"
The first zombie let out a hungry howl and pounced on them.
The other monsters also instantly went berserk, like a pack of mad dogs.
"Go! Watch out for their [Corpse Poison Claw], and try to avoid injuring your troops."
Shen Xing gave the order in a deep voice, and then took the lead in controlling ten orcs to meet them.
Xu Jiayi and Qin Lang also controlled archers and halflings to join the battle.
At the same time.
In the parking lot of Mingyue Bay Park, many uniformed figures with calm demeanor stood in front of the large screen, watching the challenge progress of the 100 contestants.
"Here we go."
A burly middle-aged man whispered, "These youngsters are quite good; most of them are Elite Two Stars or higher. It seems Jiangcheng has produced quite a few promising talents this time."
"Not all of them are from Jiangcheng; some were forced in from other cities."
A young man wearing glasses said indignantly, "It takes every few years for a low-star Mist Void Realm to appear in Jiangcheng. These guys are like sharks smelling blood, using their connections to force their way in and steal Jiangcheng's resources."
"Hehe... We're all from Hua Country, regardless of which city we're from."
Elder Wang smiled gently and said, "As mentioned before, the country will provide more resources to those outstanding geniuses."
"If there are any outstanding young talents in Jiangcheng, I will also strive to create opportunities for them."
"So there's no need to complain; this is the treatment those geniuses deserve."
The others nodded in agreement, no longer bothering about the incident of stuffing people in, and instead focusing on the players' performance.
"This Yu Feifei... is really strong. She didn't even need to summon any troops; she easily took down the first wave of monsters all by herself."
"I remember her mother was also a Tier Three Expert Rank Lord, right? No wonder she's so powerful..."
"Tsk tsk... Gu Feng's performance was also amazing. He easily wiped out several times his number of enemies with just three Common troops. His exquisite troop control is even better than some Transcendent Rank lords."
"Indeed, everyone thought he was only making rapid progress because of his father's resources, but no one expected that this little guy is also very capable on his own."
"Look over there, there's another little guy using a sword..."
The crowd was buzzing with discussion, occasionally commenting on a particular player's outstanding performance.
The monsters in the first round weren't very strong, posing little pressure to any of the players present, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed.
Meanwhile, inside the Mist Void Realm.
Shen Xing, Qin Lang, and the other two worked together and quickly dealt with the forty-strong zombie army.
At this moment, the monster corpses on the ground gradually turned into black mist and dissipated.
And in the place where the body disappeared, many familiar things were scattered around.
"Huh? These trash zombies dropped so many Soul Stones and soul fragments!" Qin Lang exclaimed in surprise.
In the game, they were already used to the phenomenon of killing monsters and getting materials.
But this was the first time I'd encountered it in real life, so I was quite surprised.
However, considering that this place is the 'Mist Void Realm', it makes sense.
Shen Xing said, "Put them away first, and we'll distribute them after this is over."
"Good!"
Qin Lang responded and immediately directed his halflings to begin cleaning up the battlefield.
To be fair, while these hobbits weren't much of a fighter in direct combat, they were quite efficient at clearing the battlefield.
In just over ten seconds, they swept all the spoils off the ground.
They quickly took inventory.
In the first wave of battle, they killed more than forty zombies, obtaining 147 Soul Stone, 413 Vinar Silver Coin, and a considerable number of soul fragments.
This number left everyone speechless.
"Just as the forums said, the drop rate in the dungeon is very high."
Qin Lang said happily, "Moreover, it's said that in this Endless Mode, the further you progress, the more items drop, and the higher their quality."
"It seems we'll have to try and hold on until we reach even higher wave numbers."
