Chapter 281 There is a Backdoor in Hell Secret Realm
Zhu Qiang and the others didn't return until after 10 PM.
The next day.
At 8 AM, Ye Chen and his group headed to Ruyi Lake. Now, above the lake's surface were five Hell Secret Realms.
Quite a few people were standing around.
"Hey guys, you're here to go in too?" a man laughed cheerfully.
This man was bald, but it was clear it wasn't shaved, just naturally bald.
This bald man obviously was easygoing.
Ye Chen smiled, "Yes, why are there so many people here?"
Indeed, there were many people around, all standing in groups of six.
They were all obviously here to enter the Hell Secret Realm.
The bald man chuckled, "Yeah, these people are all teammates they struggled to find to enter the Hell Secret Realm. With the world about to change drastically, they're all here to strengthen themselves."
Ye Chen nodded, indicating he understood.
Zhu Qiang asked from the side, "Are there people in there too?"
"Yes, there are people inside as well. They're all waiting outside. Look at those people standing right over there, they're all waiting."
Ye Chen looked over. At each of the five Hell Secret Realm entrances, there were quite a few people standing.
"Hey, why are there so few people at the entrance of the Experience Secret Realm compared to the other places?" Zhu Qiang said, scratching his head.
The bald man laughed, "Experience can be gained by killing monsters, but equipment is different. You might not get any. Also, the monsters in the Experience Secret Realm are the strongest. A team went in before, six went in, only four came out. It's not worth it."
The group hadn't entered other Secret Realms before, so they were somewhat unaware of these differences.
It turned out there were distinctions between the Hell Secret Realms.
Ye Chen thanked him.
The bald man came up to Ye Chen, rubbing his shiny bald head, a bit embarrassed as he said, "Brother, I see you are all in a team. Do you have any extra Key Fragments? I'm not asking for free; I can give you Gold Coins."
The bald man smiled broadly, his eyes filled with hope.
Zhu Qiang frowned, disdainfully said, "You came here without enough? Just to watch the show?"
The bald man sighed, "Ah, we're a temporary team. We had enough keys, but someone died on the way here. We rushed to find a replacement, but this person only had two fragments. So, it's not enough. We thought we'd buy one, but everyone else is just barely equipped, so we asked you guys."
After speaking, the bald man awkwardly rubbed his bald head.
Ye Chen noticed that the bald head was polished shining bright; it was clear it was touched often.
Ye Chen took out a Key Fragment from his inventory and handed it to the bald man, "Here, take it."
Seeing the Key Fragment, the bald man and his teammates' eyes lit up instantly. They took it excitedly, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, little brother! How many Gold Coins do you want, I'll give them to you!"
The bald man quickly said.
Ye Chen waved his hand, "No need. Consider it as payment for telling us the information. Just take it."
The bald man bowed deeply, expressing his thanks.
His five teammates also gave Ye Chen a surprised look.
This Key Fragment is quite valuable right now, with the price already inflated to 12,000 Gold Coins each, and he just gave it away like that. Really curious.
As the Monster Level rises, the Gold Coins earned also increase more and more.
The bald man and his group of six moved aside, talking about something among themselves until they started arguing.
"Why, why do you think, you only have two fragments, I have four. It was agreed that each gets three. Let's be fair. I'm only asking you for 10,000 Gold Coins, already very generous. Do you know now each is sold for 12 grand? Be satisfied!" The bald man's voice rang out, extremely clear.
"You! Fine! You do have a point! I'll give it to you!"
Zhu Qiang disdainfully said, "This bald guy really knows how to bargain."
"They're not teammates, no big deal. So they have to be clear about it," Lin Nuoyi said nonchalantly.
Ye Chen and his group of six arrived at the Hell Secret Realm entrance. Among the five Hell Secret Realms, there were two Equipment Realms, two Weapon Realms, and only one Experience Secret Realm.
Even so, there were fewer people before the Experience Secret Realm than at the other secret realms.
There were only two teams ahead, obviously teammates like Ye Chen's group.
Their Level and strength were not low.
Ye Chen consciously stood behind the first team in line.
After all, self-consciously queuing is a traditional virtue.
Before long, the Hell Secret Realm opened, and five people came out. Their expressions didn't look good.
The person at the front curled his lips, sighing, "Looks like they failed. Six went in, only five came out."
"Failed? What do you mean?" Zhu Qiang asked.
The woman in front glanced at Zhu Qiang, smiled behind her hand, "First time in a Secret Realm, is it?"
"Of course not, I've been in several times."
The woman rolled her eyes, clearly not buying it.
A man turned around, speaking flatly, "Failure means they've reached a certain level and found it extremely difficult to pass. The upper levels will be even less likely. Levels four and five are a threshold. As you go higher, the strength gap of the monsters widens. After passing the current level, they could choose to go up or down. Six went in, five came out, obviously a failure. Losing a teammate, they had to come out disgraced."
Zhu Qiang responded, smacking his lips, "I didn't know about that. Didn't expect Hell Secret Realm has a side exit."
The woman turned her head, giving Zhu Qiang a sideways glance, "Hmph, quite the bluff, huh? Can't even pretend convincingly."
After saying that, the woman huffed coldly, crossing her arms in front of her.
"You!"
Zhu Qiang was about to burst in anger when Iron Bull stopped him, "Qiang, don't get worked up, mind your status!"
Upon hearing that, Zhu Qiang calmed down. After all, he was now the Vice Alliance Leader with so many people under him. No need to get angry with a woman, but he couldn't help muttering, "Snobby hound."
"You're right, hounds it is!" The woman didn't turn her head, calmly responding.
Zhu Qiang instantly flew into a rage.
"Zhu Qiang!" Tang Qiu admonished, and Zhu Qiang fell silent.
As the front team prepared to enter, a group quickly cut in front of them.
"Fierce Beast Alliance here, everyone else step aside!" The leader, an ugly man with an underbite, sneered.
He turned around, looking at everyone with a mocking expression.
"Fierce Beast Alliance? This is the Aggregation District, what are you acting so arrogant about here!" The team leader who was about to enter retorted harshly.
The man with an underbite laughed manically, "Hehe, sorry, the Secret Realm in the Lianyuan District was full. We had to come here instead, hahaha. If you're wise, wait until we're done before you enter!"
