The campfire blazed furiously, crackling as it burned, while the shadows of everyone around flickered on the stone walls, now hidden, now visible.

Huang Haoming fished out several purple, lustrous fruits from his pocket, skillfully skewered them with thin sticks, and placed them carefully next to the fire to roast.

Soon, the tempting sweet aroma spread, and the freshly roasted fruits were mouth-watering.

“Where did you get those fruits?” the person beside him asked in shock.

Huang Haoming replied, “I saw some wild fruits by the side of the road when we came… They looked good, so I picked some.”

Just then, the communicator next to Yu Lie suddenly buzzed, shattering the peaceful atmosphere.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Yu Lie quickly picked up the communicator, and a hurried, anxious voice came from the other side, “Yu Lie, how many treasure chest fragments do you have on hand? We still urgently need eighteen to unlock the Third Layer of the Dungeon King’s treasure.”

“We’re eighteen fragments short to unlock the Dungeon King’s Third Layer treasure, so don’t just sit around, the Secret Realm could close at any moment, let’s work on getting the Third Layer rewards.”

Yu Lie searched himself for a moment, his brows tightly knit, “Eighteen fragments? I only have two on me.”

The voice on the communicator grew more urgent, “The opportunity to unlock the Dungeon King’s Third Layer treasure is imminent, and the Secret Realm may close at any time. Don’t hesitate, we must collect the fragments as soon as possible and unlock the Third Layer rewards.”

After a slight hesitation, Yu Lie stood up.

The old man who was just speaking suddenly became flustered and hurriedly said, “Aren’t you going to look after us?”

Yu Lie turned back, looked at him, and said in a deep voice, “I will leave a Beast Taming creature to protect you. We’ve only discovered those three types of monsters in this Secret Realm so far, and we’ve already cleared the nearby area once, so it’s generally safe. In case of an emergency, I will rush back as quickly as possible.”

Having said this, Yu Lie summoned a majestic Grassland Boar, which radiated a powerful Energy Level of 54. He leaned close to the ear of the Grassland Boar and whispered a few instructions, then mounted the creature and sped off into the vast night.

The boar glanced at the group, the residual heat from the campfire not yet dissipated. With a couple of grunts, the Grassland Boar laid down right next to the fire.

Chen Xing understood its muttering—the Beast Taming creature was saying it was warm.

Chen Xing shifted his gaze from the boar to the flickering firelight, but his thoughts were focused on the Dungeon King’s treasure mentioned in the communicator by Yu Lie’s teammate. They had not long entered the Secret Realm when they quickly found the Dungeon King’s treasure and began collecting related materials.

All this seemed to suggest that they had been here before, well-prepared for the task.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Moreover, they had been speaking without trying to avoid Chen Xing and the others…

At first, they said they would protect them, but then they went straight off to look for things.

Chen Xing stood up, intending to explore a bit further alone. However, the Grassland Boar seemed to sense his intentions, stood up from the ground, and positioned itself like a wall of flesh before him. Its beady eyes were fixed on Chen Xing, as if asking where he was going.

Chen Xing smiled slightly and pointed to a passage nearby, “I’m just going to have a look over there, I’ll be right back.” He tried to sound casual and sincere.

The Grassland Boar blinked its small eyes, seemingly pondering the credibility of Chen Xing’s words.

After thinking it over, it felt there was some reason to his words, and it was a bit curious, feeling as though this person could actually seem to understand its speech.

The boar grunted a few times at Chen Xing and lay down, its small eyes unblinkingly watching him.

Leaving the gathering area, Chen Xing walked a distance and saw a gray chest, which had already been opened, its contents taken.

Boxes containing treasures in a maze… Chen Xing paused, contemplative.

This place seemed like it was designed for challenges—there were monsters and treasure chests, and according to what that person said earlier, there might be even more treasure deeper within. A proper maze wouldn’t have boxes.

But what exactly was this treasure of the Dungeon King?

They mentioned unlocking the Third Layer treasure; were the first and second layer treasures already opened?

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

A hundred fragments were needed; what were these fragments?

Chen Xing pondered deeply; these people who called themselves from the Safety Bureau had directly found the Dungeon King’s treasure upon entering; it was all too extraordinary.

A plethora of enigmas arose in Chen Xing’s heart.

After leaving the gathering spot, Chen Xing walked some distance in the direction from which he had come.

The walls around him suddenly receded like an illusion, like the retreating tide.

…

The sky brightened once again.

Chen Xing took out his cellphone, and the signal was restored.

Among the people he knew, the ones most likely to have an answer were either his mentor or Zhou Lao.

However, considering the closeness of their relationship, Chen Xing would definitely contact his mentor first.

The video he had previously shot on his phone was still there. Although it hadn’t been sent out, the phone could still shoot normally.

After sending the video, Chen Xing also told his mentor about what had just happened.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

His mentor quickly replied to the message.

Han Yuning: ???

Han Yuning: You’re this lucky?! It’s a pity your strength isn’t enough, otherwise, you could have unlocked the Dungeon King’s treasure. I don’t know how long it will be until the Secret Realm opens again. I’ll ask around about it later.

The Dungeon King was the title of a powerful creature from the Exotic Region, rumored to have built many underground labyrinths.

And he was said to have buried many treasures within these labyrinths, which were also referred to as the Dungeon King’s treasures.

The method to unlock the treasures was simple. Inside the underground labyrinth was a monster called the Cursed Magic Chest. Killing this monster would yield a golden metal sphere from inside its body.

By collecting these metal spheres and finding the Treasure Urn within the maze, throwing the spheres into it would unlock different layers of treasure depending on the number thrown in.

“This sounds somewhat familiar,” Chen Xing felt it was strangely familiar for some reason.

His mentor continued to send messages, “It’s said that a layer one Dungeon King treasure can award gold coins, ancient gold coins to be exact.”

“The layer two treasures contain more valuable rewards. They might be a large amount of ancient gold coins or various Attribute treasures.”

“The layer three treasures offer great items, rare monster eggs, precious materials, unusual artifacts, and even clues related to rare evolutions.”

After reading the messages, Chen Xing felt it was even more familiar—it reminded him of the Magic Thieves Group awarding layers of prizes.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

His mentor sent another message: “It’s normal for you not to know these details, no one specifically keeps them in mind, except for professional adventurers who roam around, searching for new Secret Realms. However, the emergence of a new Dungeon King Treasure labyrinth within the country is indeed a good place.”

“As for those from the safety department, their identities are probably no hoax. No other power within the country would dare to pretend like they’re official. The full name is ‘Great Xia National Security Direction Bureau’, and it has a department specifically responsible for searching nationwide for potential Secret Realms. They likely have internal methods to scout for the emergence of Secret Realms.”

“But you don’t need to concern yourself with these things; it’s enough that you are safe.”

Meanwhile, Yu Lie and another group returned, their faces full of joy, obviously with a significant gain.

However, they noticed someone was missing.

“Where’s the other one?” Yu Lie asked.

“Uh… he left a while ago,” Huang Haoming hesitantly said.

“In which direction did he go?”

“Over there,” Huang Haoming pointed in a direction.

“Forget it, let him go if he wants to. We’ve already cleared the monsters nearby, so if he really encounters danger, it’s his own problem,” Yu Lie said with a wave of his hand.

The other three exchanged looks, not bothering to chase after Chen Xing’s trace. They had just opened a Dungeon King’s treasure, and their only desire was to hurry back and split the loot.

“But without a confidentiality agreement, could there be trouble?” one of them asked in a low voice.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Yu Lie shook his head, “There won’t be any trouble. It’s probably just a commoner who stumbled in.”

Soon after the Secret Realm dispersed, a phone call suddenly came through.

The team leader’s face changed as he listened, nodding his head gloomily.

“Understood, got it.”

After hanging up, the three looked at their leader, “Captain, what’s going on?”

“The news of the Secret Realm has leaked out, and a big shot has intervened, wanting a share. This gives me a headache. Sometimes information is a valuable resource, especially for limited resources like this Secret Realm. It’s like a vein of ore waiting to be mined; whoever grasps the news first gets more of the resources.”

“Damn, that guy must have known something; otherwise, why did he leave so quickly.”

Soon after returning home, Chen Xing received a call from his mentor.

On the other end, the mentor seemed in a great mood, “Your information was timely and useful. I’ve inquired for you. The authorities at the security bureau responded that Dungeon King’s Maze 06 Secret Realm will be accessible in about half a year. I secured a spot for you. You’ll be among the first to enter and will receive a treasure chest Fragment—equivalent to personally opening a layer three Dungeon King treasure. What you gain will depend on your own luck.”
