My Apocalypse Territory

The group of Awakeners opposite them had noticed Tang Yu and the others, but did not care.

Taking advantage of the moment the gold-swallowing beast was injured and slowed down, they quickly caught up. The leading telekinesis ability user waved his hand and several Flying Knives levitated then whooshed out.

The target was the posterior part of the gold-swallowing beast, the areas with the Flying Knives embedded.

He had already calculated that targeting the wounds on the gold-swallowing beast and causing secondary penetrating damage would be fatal.

At that time, breaking open the gold-swallowing beast and extracting the Metal Nodule formed inside it would yield a huge profit.

If he could find the right connections to use this Transcendent Metal to forge his own Flying Knives, then his strength would climb to the next level!

As for those people opposite him, he didn't care. They were just a small team of ten people. If they were smart and left quietly, he would... The telekinesis ability user suddenly froze. Why hadn't he heard the gold-swallowing beast's scream of agony?

He looked up to see the Flying Knives that had just been shot out now lying on the ground, some of them even broken in two?

What had happened?

The telekinesis ability user was unclear, only staring at the people opposite him, his face showing a ferocious expression, "Attack——"

His psychic energy stirred, and the Flying Knives on the ground trembled as if about to rise, but then, he saw the man wearing a conical hat standing in front of the gold-swallowing beast, lift his foot and gently step down...

Crack.

The Flying Knives shattered, and the psychic energy he had attached to them was crushed in an instant. The Telekinesis Ability User's face turned red, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"How is this possible!"

Inside the tunnel, sword light flashed intermittently and the roar of gunfire echoed.

Tang Yu glanced a few times.

Although the group opposite had quite a few people, none of them were good fighters.

Kong and Shay, after a brief skirmish with that group, caused the opposition to collapse instantly, now engaging in a symbolic pursuit.

Shaking his head, he, Lord Tang, was a great advocate of peace and didn't want to be violent, but unfortunately, the other group spoke a language he couldn't understand. By extrapolation, the language he spoke, naturally, the others couldn't understand either.

Since they could not communicate through language, they had to communicate physically instead, after all, it was the most direct way.

"So you see, learning a foreign language is important. It might even avoid a catastrophe. Unfortunately, even though I was once at a fourth level in English during my peak, it has regressed to nothing now."

Beside him, the posterior part of the gold-swallowing beast still oozed blood; after being subjected to the intimidating presence emitted by Eileen, Winnie, and others, it dared not run away, only able to sorrowfully shrink into a corner...

Tang Yu glanced at it, finding it hard to imagine how the beast, with its size, managed to shrink.

It was definitely trying its hardest.

"Little Gold..."

In Tang Yu's hand was a specially made Advanced rune Longsword, which he plunged with force.

Hiss—

The blade of the Longsword went deep into one side of the stone wall.

This stone wall was even harder than the body of the gold-swallowing beast.

The gold-swallowing beast's small eyes widened as its large body shivered once, twice, and then again.

Tang Yu revealed a satisfied smile. Mutant Beasts and Demonized Beasts were different. A Mutant Beast like the gold-swallowing beast, with Fifth Tier strength, also had a decent level of intelligence, roughly equivalent to a seven or eight-year-old child. This luring, cough cough, coercion... no, that's not right, communication had thus become much more convenient.

"So now," Tang Yu took out a beige scroll, "keep this scroll in your mouth, and then bite it to pieces."

The gold-swallowing beast hesitated, but eventually opened its mouth, took the unfamiliar object in its mouth, and under continuous "communication," it bit the scroll to pieces.

Instantly, a white radiance erupted from the gold-swallowing beast's mouth, enveloping its entire body. In the next moment, the light flashed, and the massive body of the gold-swallowing beast disappeared.

It was sent back through a Return City Scroll; Luo Zhe, who was left in charge of the Territory, would take people over to receive it.

Tang Yu could think of no easier way to bring back the gold-swallowing beast than this one. The Secret Realm was dangerous, and what he would encounter next was unpredictable. While he could be sure of his own safety, if he were to carry the gold-swallowing beast, a big target with an innate hatred halo, the difficulty level of the instance would rise from Easy to Hard just thinking about it.

With the successful capture of the gold-swallowing beast, no matter what other gains were made from this trip to the Secret Realm, at the very least, the materials needed for the Floating Chariot were completely gathered.

The passages were winding and numerous, and Tang Yu couldn't remember how many times he had crossed the same path, occasionally spotting some abandoned items in the corridors. These weren't litter but markers left by other Awakeners. However, this method was unreliable; he watched as a squad of Awakeners dropped a marker, and in a flash, someone casually picked it up.

Watching that person clutching a grey canvas bag, heaven knows what this entrant intended to do in the Secret Realm!

This made the whole method somewhat awkward...

It wasn't that they didn't want to mark something on the stone walls or slabs; it was just that the stone walls were too hard. Ordinary swords and weapons chopped against them without leaving a scratch, but the swords themselves ended up broken or snapped.

If even weapons were damaged, how could they survive in the wild?

Some of the more clever ones left marks on the stone walls with dye, which was mostly obtained from the blood of Demonized Beasts. However, not many teams carried the blood of Demonized Beasts with them, and nobody wanted to use their own blood, so the entire tomb maze became a junk passage...

At this moment, he thought that having those players who continuously picked up items wasn't too bad.

Tang Yu also had others leave marks; initially, he wanted to simply carve a knife and fork on the wall but then he reconsidered. What was the point? He might as well carve the advertising slogan he had prepared beforehand on the stone wall.

Not only was a mark made, but it also served to promote the Territory, potentially attracting more quality resources, which was excellent.

He didn't know that the Lindong Mercenaries, who had traveled through the Bear's Mouth Passage, became dejected upon seeing these advertisements, realizing they couldn't monopolize the chance encounter with the Great Lord!

A few minutes later, Grey Blade deciphered the clues on the stone wall patterns. Following the directions, after several choices of left, left, right, right, left, right, left, the group finally exited the maze.

Before them stood a gate towering over eight meters tall and more than five meters wide, crafted entirely of an unknown black rock.

At the moment, the gate was closed, and inscribed on it in rune script was the final phrase, "My treasure lies beyond this gate. Do you want it? Then push open this gate..."

Tang Yu pondered.

He originally wanted to scrape off the rune script on the Black Stone Gate, but by then, many Awakeners had emerged from the maze.

Upon seeing the inscribed words, their eyes lit up, and some couldn't help but rush forward.

"What's the hurry? This gate is clearly the last challenge, it won't be that easy to open."

"I reckon there must be traps in front of the gate."

"You're right. Running so eagerly, one can tell they're cannon fodder. Only those of us who can sit back and wait like at a fisherman's platform will reach the end."

Most of them were not impatient but looked on with wary expressions. Historical knowledge told them that setbacks often occur at the final hurdle.

They were both nervous and excited, fixing their eyes on the Awakeners who dashed forward.

Finally,

The fastest Awakener reached the Black Stone Gate; he extended his hand, pressed against the Black Stone Gate, and pushed hard.

Along with the rumbling sound of the gate being pushed,

A strand of golden light peeked through the crevice of the stone gate...

"F*ck!"
