Chapter 1419: Chapter 1304: Secret Realm Altar
"Big... big brother, hurry up and run!"
Cannon Fodder nearly pissed himself when he saw the group of wild boars charging headlong.
"Run my ass! The BOSS’s health is half gone, if we run now, all our previous efforts will be wasted!"
The team leader was both angry and furious, the boar had thick skin and tough meat, had it been easy to fight it up to now? There was no way he would run!
"Pig, a herd of pigs!"
Cannon Fodder didn’t have the courage to stay any longer, he started running while shouting, "Run fast, if we don’t run now, it’ll be too late!"
"What?"
When everyone sensed something was off, at that moment, a thunderous noise came from behind, and even the ground began to tremble.
They turned their heads to look, and their pupils dilated in fright, their faces drained of blood, their eyes filled with fear. They didn’t care about the half-health BOSS anymore and fled, fearing they would be trampled by the pig herd behind them.
"Cough cough."
Watching this dramatic scene, Su Ran felt slightly awkward, but since it had already happened, he couldn’t be too worried about it—they didn’t know it was his doing, so they couldn’t blame him.
Regarding this special pigsty, Su Ran didn’t hesitate to walk into it. He wouldn’t miss any possibilities—what if the secret space was inside the pigsty?
Hmm, there’s that possibility!
Upon entering the pigsty, a foul stench hit him, Su Ran almost couldn’t bear it, but luckily he didn’t have internal organs which allowed him to withstand the wave of stench.
Fortunately, the ground was still clean, giving him a place to step. He walked around the area’s terrain and didn’t find anything special. It was then that Su Ran confirmed that his expectations were too high—a pigsty is just a pigsty, and one can’t expect too much from it.
"Sigh, let’s go, to the next passage."
Su Ran sighed and using Wang Cai’s invisibility effect, he left without causing a riot among the pigs, heading towards the next passage.
...
"Big brother, these wild boars could have respawned at any time, but they had to pop up now, that’s really weird!"
The players who had barely escaped, hid at the next passage entrance, glanced nervously at the adjacent pathway, and when they saw no signs of the pigs pursuing, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Unlucky, don’t blame society, I told you this BOSS wouldn’t just stupidly let us kill it. Summoning minions is a routine move for a BOSS, that’s a normal operation."
The team leader was quite good at consoling himself. With these words, everyone felt more balanced in their hearts.
"Why do I feel like this BOSS is for real?"
Cannon Fodder’s eyes lit up, he said urgently, "The several fake BOSSes we killed before never summoned minions, but this one is different. It must be real!"
"Hey, don’t jinx it, but it’s possible!"
The team captain caught on too, his face full of excitement, "It’s not easy to encounter a real one, we can’t just give up easily! Let’s go back and fight in a little while!"
"Okay! We’ll wipe out that bunch of piglets as well, let them strut their stuff, annihilate their whole family!"
The more they talked, the more excited they got, the previous panic no longer traceable. After regathering themselves, they headed back towards the pathway they came from.
"Everyone be careful, don’t provoke the BOSS yet, let’s clear the minions first, don’t draw too many at once, it could cause another disturbance and it’d all be for naught!"
"Copy that, today I’m going to act as a butcher just slaughtering pigs!"
"Ha ha ha ..."
Soon, everyone made their way back to that pigpen-like space, throwing caution to the wind for the sake of the wild boar boss.
Su Ran had no time to watch them play with the pig. He walked alone toward the next passage, determined to search every corner to find the secret realm.
As time ticked by second by second, Su Ran had entered seven or eight passages. He had encountered various monsters, but none of them matched the terrain marked on the map. In order to save time, he chose not to clear them but continued to search for the so-called secret realm.
At last.
Just as Su Ran was about to doubt his life choices, he saw the exact same terrain as marked on the map in the last passage.
"Damn!"
Su Ran couldn’t help but curse rudely. If he had known this, why not search from inside out? Would that have not saved so much hassle?
Damn it!
Fortunately, there were no monsters in this space, just a solitary altar standing in the center.
On this altar, there were six hollows, each marked with the characters for metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and wind – obviously the places for gem inlay.
Su Ran followed the sequence and inlaid the gems, but, to his surprise, the altar showed no response.
"What the hell, could it really be this unlucky? Has it broken down due to age?"
After circling the altar, Su Ran found no switch. He couldn’t help but kick it, but still no reaction.
"Could it be... missing some kind of tool?"
Su Ran took out the Thunder Punishment Divine Stone and smashed it on the altar, but aside from scattering dust, nothing unusual happened.
Helplessly, Su Ran put the Divine Stone back into his bag and then took out the map, wondering if he had missed something special.
Suddenly.
The map burst into a dazzling light and emitted a burning heat, forcing Su Ran to let go. However, he was not alarmed but pleased – as long as something unusual occurred, it meant that the activation of the altar was close!
"Whoosh!"
The map transformed into a streak of light, rushing into the altar and gradually merging with it.
For a moment.
The altar emitted six-colored light, and the mystic formation began to operate, creating gusts of wind that surged all around.
Su Ran, who had been watching from the sidelines, was blown away by the gusts but managed to stabilize himself mid-air using the Treading on Air Technique, observing the changes in the altar closely.
After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the light surrounding the altar finally began to slowly converge, the gentle glow spinning and even the spatial fluctuations returned to stability.
"So the map was the catalyst needed. No wonder the altar had no reaction before. The gems, the altar, and the map, all three are indispensable to enter this secret realm. It’s truly not easy!"
Su Ran let out a sigh, not lingering any longer, and dove headlong into the altar.
He wanted to see what secrets this deeply hidden secret realm held – even NPCs coveted it, willing to pay a great price, it must be extraordinary!
Not long after Su Ran left, the altar emitted a crimson light that dyed the entire space red. It then began to spread towards other passages, causing all the monsters touched by the light to go into a frenzied state, wildly breaking free from their constrained spaces and surging into the altar.
...
"We’ve held on for so long, finally there’s a payoff! I knew it, such a hidden terrain couldn’t possibly lack opportunities!"
The team leader looked at the remaining wild boar herd and the wild boar boss among them. Seeing how things were progressing, defeating these wild boars wouldn’t be difficult. Suppressing the excitement inside, he continued to shout, "Brothers, keep it up, we’ve already taken down twenty wild boars, clear these minions, take down this boss, and loot top-tier equipment!"
