The Secret Realm, Goblin Kingdom

"Hi, Wang Xian!"

Faced with the other party's greeting, Tang Rou only replied with basic courtesy.

"Why did you come here alone? Going out for training and leveling up without informing us?"

Wang Xian spoke as if he didn't consider Ye Xuan as a person.

On the contrary, when he saw Ye Xuan dressed in tattered civilian clothes, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

"Yes… We were just out for training, but now we're planning to go back."

Tang Rou emphasized the word "we," as if she wasn't alone.

In her mind, she truly considered Ye Xuan as her companion.

However, in front of others, she still maintained her noble demeanor as a young lady.

Although she was polite in her interactions, she kept her distance.

"Alright, how should I address…"

After realizing he couldn't ignore Ye Xuan, Wang Xian reluctantly turned to greet him.

"No need! I just happened to team up with her by chance." Ye Xuan's answer was impatient.

He naturally understood the meaning behind Wang Xian's actions.

At the same time, he had no interest in this awkward jealousy game.

He didn't take the bait, so now Wang Xian became the one feeling awkward.

Wang Xian forced a smile.

Then a person beside him suddenly approached and pretended to ask, "Wang Ge, what's going on? Your girlfriend is here, and you didn't introduce her?"

The guy who came forward had dyed yellow hair and looked roguish.

"Hey, what are you talking about? We've just been childhood friends."

Wang Xian also put on an act as if he was very familiar with Tang Rou.

"OK!"

Yellow Hair nodded.

"By the way! Brother Wang, we're going to challenge that secret realm, and we're lacking a qualified priest."

"This girl is so well-equipped. If she teams up with us, we can definitely clear that secret realm."

"Your childhood sweetheart joining us means we don't have to rely on outsiders."

The other four members of the team unanimously agreed with Yellow Hair's suggestion.

Only then did Ye Xuan see a mysterious vortex in their location.

The vortex emitted a faint blue light, and it seemed to contain an infinite space within.

This was a secret realm.

The so-called secret realm was actually a virtual small space with special maps that possibly held treasures, but also unknown dangers.

No one knew what awaited inside before entering.

Such places were a tremendous opportunity for adventurers. If they succeeded in the challenge, they could potentially obtain a large number of treasures.

Of course, if they couldn't pass the challenge, they would perish inside!

But even so, such a secret realm was a place that countless adventurers dreamed of.

It was said that some adventurers had never seen a secret realm even in their entire lives.

The six people were indeed lucky.

They had actually encountered a secret realm in the wilderness.

Even Tang Rou was very interested in such a secret realm.

However, when faced with their invitation, Tang Rou didn't immediately agree.

Instead, she subconsciously turned around to seek Ye Xuan's opinion.

What happened last night had already made her aware of the dangers of society, and she no longer believed that acquaintances were necessarily trustworthy.

On the other hand…

The only person she trusted was someone like Ye Xuan, even though she had known Ye Xuan for less than two days!

Wang Xian, upon seeing Tang Rou consulting with Ye Xuan about this matter, felt even more jealous.

But he quickly came up with an idea!

No matter who this guy was, as long as they brought him into the secret realm, they could easily trap him to death.

Thus, with a smile on his face, he looked at Ye Xuan and said, "Brother, it's not easy to find a secret realm. Since you're with Tang Rou, why not join our team? The more people, the more strength, right?"

Ye Xuan had no intention of accepting this guy's insincere invitation.

But at this moment…

Ding!

[Mission issued: Clear the secret realm!]

[Mission Requirement: Join the current team, clear the secret realm, and achieve the highest performance to become the protagonist!]

[Mission Reward: B-level Life Professional Skill*1!]

[Failure Penalty: None!]

[Mission Description: This mission can't be given up. Host, please complete it.]

Damn it…

Ye Xuan almost cursed out loud.

He really didn't want to team up with such a boring and annoying guy.

But he had no choice because of the system task…

"Alright then, thanks!"

Ye Xuan reluctantly agreed.

Seeing that Ye Xuan agreed so easily, Wang Xian couldn't help but despise Ye Xuan in his heart.

He then exchanged glances with the others in the group.

How could the other five not understand his meaning? They immediately caught on.

"Okay! In that case, let's begin!"

With a strange smile on his face, Wang Xian led the way.

A buzzing sound echoed through the air!

The group walked past the entrance of the secret realm.

After a short while, they saw a mission panel.

[Goblin Kingdom!]

[Quality: Silver rank]

[Requirement: Level 15 and above]

[Difficulty: Nightmare Level.]

[Number of participants: 7 ~ 12!]

[Description: After the ancient destruction, a randomly generated small world was occupied by a group of savage goblins. They enjoy robbing treasures, devouring flesh, and kidnapping human women.]

The mission panel provided detailed information about the secret realm.

After seeing this panel…

Everyone's expression changed.

"Oh no! A silver-ranked secret realm? And it's of nightmare-level difficulty!"

"We're doomed! How are we supposed to clear this?"

"I thought we were going to get rich, but it turns out it's so terrifying in there? We should quickly retreat before the goblins discover us!"

"It'll be too late if we wait!"

This was not a game. This was the real world.

Even inside the secret realm, if they died, they would truly die.

The guys were scared and wanted to retreat.

Tang Rou looked at the gloomy forest in this small world and felt the urge to back down.

As long as they took a few more steps forward!

They would fall into the encirclement of goblins, and those ferocious and wicked creatures would not spare them.

Of course, apart from the basic information, there was also some other information visible.

For example, the way to clear the Goblin Kingdom.

The method to clear this Goblin Kingdom was simple and straightforward.

[If you kill Goblin King Gao Ge, you can clear the realm and obtain a large number of rewards!]

Of course, this explanation seemed like a useless statement to them.

In terms of secret realms, Huaxia had long accumulated a large amount of recorded information, and they knew that clearing the realm would yield extremely generous rewards.

But the problem was…

With their current team, how were they supposed to kill the Goblin King?
