Secret Realm Lobby.
It was packed at the moment.
The exciting adventure had begun again.
The Adventurers ordered food while waiting in line.
Luna Snow said generously, "Ellie, get each of us four a box of ice cream, put it all on my tab!"
Mandy exclaimed, "Wow, thanks for the treat, Big Sister!"
Lonely Swordsman added, "Get me a pack of Huazi!"
Black Stone Hammer King chimed in, "Make five cups of instant noodles, add sausage, and get a bottle of cola!"
The atmosphere was lively.
Everyone was having a good time.
This was essentially an otherworldly magical version of an internet cafe.
Although Jack had assigned five Gnome citizens to the Secret Realm Lobby to assist the young net manager Nancilia in serving the Adventurers, Nancilia was currently swamped as the new staff were still getting familiar with their duties.
Miracle City had too few citizens.
Many positions were severely understaffed!
The number of Adventurers would increase sharply in the future.
The labor shortage problem would only become more prominent.
This was one of the reasons why the territory had to expand.
Only by occupying more territory could they absorb more population and citizens, and earn more benefits and profits from the Adventurers.
The Adventurers were full and satisfied, yet still wanted more.
Lone Wolf praised, "Not only are the Secret Realms in Miracle City interesting, but the food produced here is also top-notch."
Black Stone Hammer King added, "The only drawback is that it's a bit expensive!"
Pig King joked, "There's nothing we can do about it. Since I, the Fat Master, ate things from Miracle City, the food in town now tastes like pig slop."
Lone Wolf quipped, "Aren't you a pig?"
"Watch it, Er Gou, you're asking for a beating!"
A few Adventurers engaged in their usual playful banter.
At this moment, Ethan Fields cleared his throat: "Everyone, quiet down. Today's challenge is very severe. With the Tyrant Zombie Tracker as a powerful roadblock, it's impossible for us to clear the second level of the Tidal Secret Realm. Are we going to go back and grind the first level?"
Violent Little Chicken declared, "Impossible!"
Mandy added, "The Tracker is definitely not invincible. Let's find a way and teach the Lord a lesson!"
"That's right!"
"Never retreat!"
"Never give up!"
"Fight the second level to the death!"
"Keep going, big shots! Although we haven't cleared the first level yet, there's a high chance of clearing it today. When we do, we'll definitely work together with all the big shots to face the Tracker's challenge!"
Morale was high!
The Tracker is strong?
But Adventurers aren't afraid!
The stronger the monster, the more it ignited the Adventurers' desire to win and conquer!
Ethan continued: "It's great that everyone has this fighting spirit, but we can't underestimate the Tracker, nor can we underestimate the Lord's methods. We have limited challenge opportunities, so we must ensure efficiency and not act blindly!"
Luna Snow asked, "What are your thoughts?"
Ethan suggested, "Last night at the inn, we compiled all the information. We've now created a map of the second level city, marking all the areas that haven't been fully explored. I suggest precise division of labor for a carpet search!"
"Okay!"
"This way, efficiency will be higher!"
"If this city really hides a way to defeat the Tracker."
"With so many teams, we can definitely find it in a shorter time!"
"I'm joining!"
"I'm joining too!"
"Let's give today's operation a cool name!"
The Adventurers eagerly participated. Since the Tracker Zombie is a type of Tyrant Zombie, they named today's operation "Regicide Operation." Ethan Fields served as the overall commander, formulating specific tasks for each team.
Ethan Fields clearly had this planned in advance.
He had done a lot of preparation for today's operation.
Under his command, everyone immediately took action.
White Crane Hermit saw that he could easily rally everyone with a single call, showing some leadership ability, and his evaluation of him rose by a few points.
"These young people are so motivated... I, this old man, can't be too bad either!"
Although White Crane Hermit was very interested in challenging the Tracker, since he couldn't enter the second level yet, he couldn't participate in the Regicide Operation and could only honestly tackle the first level first.
But when faced with team invitations.
He still refused and soloed again.
Although the Adventurers thought the Old Dean was a bit stubborn, they were also very curious if a single person could solo the level. There was always a large crowd of onlookers gathered near White Crane Hermit's Secret Realm crystal.
In fact, with his ability and experience, clearing the level wouldn't be difficult if that was the only goal, as the Tank Zombie and Witch Zombie in the first level appear relatively consistently.
As long as he avoided the two strongest monsters.
The difficulty of clearing this level wasn't actually too high.
The Adventurers had already figured out a shortcut route to clear the level.
Quite a few people had already cleared the first level using this route.
What kind of person was White Crane Hermit? He naturally disdained doing so. Rarely feeling the urge to challenge, he chose to face the difficulty head-on and challenge the Tank or the Witch alone.
The first attempt.
He didn't encounter a Tank Zombie.
He was taken out by a Charger ambushing him from behind halfway through.
There was nothing he could do about it. In solo mode, if you encounter a special infected and can't detect it in advance or react immediately, the chance of saving yourself is minimal.
The second attempt.
This time, he slashed his way through, killing nearly a hundred Zombies, finally coming face to face with a Tank Zombie. However, the difficulty of a one-on-one fight was much greater than imagined, and he was ultimately defeated.
Although the first battle ended in defeat.
But White Crane Hermit had already grasped the Tank's attack patterns and habits.
The third attempt.
White Crane Hermit prepared two oil drums and Molotov cocktails in advance, first using traps to severely injure the Tank before the final battle. This battle originally had a high chance of victory, but at a critical moment, he alerted the nearby Zombie horde, which ultimately disrupted his rhythm and led to failure.
The Adventurers watching were all excited!
That attempt was such a shame!
Just a little bit more.
After White Crane Hermit summarized.
He immediately started the fourth battle.
This time, he cleared out the nearby Zombies in advance, optimized the traps, and used the terrain to maneuver. He fought for a full twenty minutes, and finally, just as his ammunition was about to run out, he narrowly defeated the Tank.
The cheers of the watching Adventurers were deafening.
"Oh my god!"
"He actually did it!"
"He actually soloed the Tank Zombie?"
"Despite being completely outmatched in speed, stamina, and destructive power, and without any assistance from teammates, he actually managed to maneuver using the terrain and ultimately killed this terrifying monster!"
"The Old Dean is too amazing!"
"What? The Old Master defeated the Tank by himself?"
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't dare imagine someone could perform such brilliant maneuvers. It seems the value of Black Stone Town's top Adventurer is still rising!"
When faced with the cheers and applause of the younger generation, White Crane Hermit didn't feel proud or arrogant this time.
Although he defeated the Tank, his ammunition was severely depleted, and he also sustained a not-so-light injury.
"Alas, I haven't entered an Underground City in ten years. My current state is still far from my peak!"
Otherwise, a mindless simpleton wouldn't have given him so much trouble!
This Old Adventurer liked to challenge limits, but he wasn't completely inflexible either.
He knew there was a certain element of luck in winning this time. Now, low on ammo and injured, the chances of killing another one were very slim. Rather than dying meaninglessly, it was better to complete a clear first.
It wouldn't be too late to challenge a higher difficulty and a higher score next time!
White Crane Hermit then bypassed the areas where the Tank and Witch appeared, killing thirty to forty ordinary Zombies along the way, plus a Hunter that attempted to ambush him, and finally successfully found and entered the safe door.
**[You cleared "Doomsday Frenzy First Level," you obtained "Tank Zombie Soul" +1!]**
Good luck!
Dropped a five-star gray soul!
From the current data, even when killing a Tank Zombie, the drop rate of this kind of zombie soul essence is below 20%.
Although compared to other Secret Realms, under similar performance, this probability is already quite high, at least four to five times greater, it is still a relatively low-probability event.
It's probably because soloing can get a higher clear rating.
The drop rate will also increase significantly because of this.
So cool!
Even setting aside the rewards.
The Tidal Secret Realm was definitely the most exhilarating Secret Realm White Crane Hermit had ever seen.
He still had 1 point of energy left.
He could challenge again.
White Crane Hermit wasn't in a hurry this time.
Because he had now unlocked the second level.
It would be difficult for this group of young people to defeat the Tracker. If necessary, the Old Master wouldn't mind lending a hand.
Nancilia watched White Crane Hermit's challenge process. When she saw him actually clear the official level of Doomsday Frenzy by himself, her small face immediately showed a look of solemnity and apprehension.
In another corner of the hall.
Another Adventurer let out an exclamation!
This news invigorated all the Adventurers, but it also made the young net manager turn pale with fright.
"Holy crap!"
"Everyone, come and see!"
"Someone found a weapon to deal with the Tracker Tyrant!"
