153: Chapter 153 Monkey Village Mine Secret Chamber! The Most Expensive Crimson [Eternal Flower]

A continuous string of in-game prompts

simultaneously popped up on the light screen in front of Chu Hong's three-person team.

Accompanied by the roaring airflow of rotating helicopter blades, Wang Suming and Song Jiaojiao saw that on the river beach in front of the [Waterfall Cave],

a low-hovering helicopter suddenly appeared in mid-air.

Several climbing padlocks were hanging down from it.

The faint glow unique to extraction points flickered on and off on the ground.

Secret realm [Primitive Valley No. 1] had yet another newly emerged unknown extraction point so far!

When Chu Hong's figure walked out of the [Waterfall Cave] entrance, Song Jiaojiao and Wang Suming hurriedly rode a speedboat from Palino Bio-Group over.

"Holy shit! Brother Hong, you're fucking amazing! You actually completed a benchmark quest all by yourself!? This is a benchmark quest, man! The highest-difficulty in-game quest in the secret realm!"

"And it's even a confidential-grade secret realm! You completed it all by yourself!"

At this moment, Wang Suming was so excited that the way he looked at Chu Hong was no longer just as simple as looking at an idol.

That fiery gaze made the corner of Chu Hong's eye twitch fiercely.

He directly delivered a kick upwards.

"Fuck off! Stop acting the fool here!"

Even so, the smile on his face right now couldn't be concealed no matter what; this round had simply profited boundlessly—it was a second [mother of the forest]!

The moment he thought about how activating the display cabinet effect of the Big Red Collection Room would give him an extra life whenever he entered secret realms in the future,

the rippling smile on Chu Hong's face became completely unstoppable.

"Follow me. After this in-game quest was completed, a hidden space opened up inside the cave. There should still be quite a few good things coming out of here..."

Chu Hong led the two of them straight into the crisscrossing, winding cave.

Looking at the ubiquitous Palino armed personnel inside along with the corpses of mutated monkeys all over the floor, Song Jiaojiao found the solemnity and shock in her eyes difficult to conceal even when she forced herself to endure it.

With such a complex terrain, even for people dedicated to entering this secret realm who took risks to explore it, it would be very difficult to thoroughly investigate the inside without investing a year or two, right?

Furthermore,

if this weren't an assessment secret realm, wanting to gather all the intelligence inside here would cost at least a starting price of hundreds of human lives.

"Brother Hong, no wonder you wouldn't let us follow you here no matter what in this ghostly place. In just this short while, I'm almost dizzy from going around in circles..." Wang Suming sighed with emotion,

while looking with glowing eyes at the piles of searchable material containers that occasionally appeared around corners or intersections inside the cave.

His extra-large capacity backpack still had plenty of space left.

Chu Hong smiled and didn't explain.

Soon, the few of them arrived in the karst cave where the Boss was located.

When Wang Suming and the other saw the terrifying figure of the Boss giant ape, they couldn't help but gasp in shock and horror.

"Hiss... Brother Hong, you—don't tell me the second-stage quest was to protect that quest device right in front of this big guy?"

Wang Suming's mouth could almost stuff a fist. After seeing Chu Hong calmly nod,

his eyes completely lost their luster from shock.

"Brother Hong, aren't you... a bit too ridiculously strong? Whose Stage 7 Qiyuan Realm has your exaggerated strength? It's one thing that entering the secret realm is as familiar to you as coming home, but you're also so good at fighting..."

"Brother Hong, being this badass makes this brother of yours look so dumb."

Chu Hong laughed heartily, accepting this fellow's flattery completely.

The group walked onto the stone platform that the Boss originally used as a bed. Right now, a large hole had been exposed underneath here, and researchers NPCs from Palino Bio-Group were holding instruments inside, conducting some testing work that had nothing to do with Chu Hong and the others.

This place was the [Monkey Village Mineral Deposit Secret Room].

The three of them jumped in along the passage.

Inside was a space of about a hundred plus, not exceeding two hundred square meters.

It looked like a crudely excavated mine space, with clear claw marks on the surrounding walls, or traces left by tools like human pickaxes.

Meanwhile, the searchable containers inside were chunks of basketball-sized irregular blue-purple ores.

Chu Hong reached out and pressed down on one of them.

Crack!

There was no search black box like the one when groping around containers as expected.

Accompanied by a crisp shattering sound, the ore touched by Chu Hong suddenly shattered, abruptly revealing a collectible item a circle larger than the ore itself.

[Item Name]: Molecular Juicer

[Item Grade]: Golden

[Value]: 140,230

[Type]: Household Item

[Weight]: 2.1 kg

[Backpack Slot Capacity Occupied]: 2 × 2

[Item Description]: Possesses extremely high technological levels, capable of perfectly processing melon and fruit-type foods containing anomalous energy into liquids while retaining the energy activity contained within them.

A four-slot major gold item!

However, compared to what was unboxed, Chu Hong cared more about that bizarre process just now.

No... is this right?

The thing unboxed from this was even bigger than that piece of ore just now!

Chu Hong couldn't help thinking back to his experience of searching flower pots in the [Cliffside Epidemic Hospital]. Sometimes, he really doubted whether these secret realms were actually just like those game dungeons from his past life.

"Even if you're a dungeon, you damn planners, make sure the rationality of this loot drop is proper! The sizes don't match at all, alright!" Chu Hong complained speechlessly in his heart.

Yet on this side, he had already beckoned Wang Suming behind him to put the item into his backpack.

These ores were just like scratch cards.

"Crack, crack..."

There seemed to be quite a lot of ores in here, but in reality, the "scratch cards" that could yield prizes were only a dozen or so.

Chu Hong made consecutive moves.

The ores unboxed [Fresh Banana (Green)], [Ladies Cowhide Bag (Blue)], [Classical Collection Gold Coin (Gold)]...

One collectible item after another that completely couldn't be imagined as something unboxed from ore directly left Chu Hong numb.

When it came to the last one, Chu Hong had already waved his hand, not wanting to torture himself anymore.

It looked like all the luck in this round had been used up on that [mother of the forest] in his crotch.

"Forget it, which of you guys come open the last one?"

Wang Suming, who was buried in busywork adjusting the collectibles in his backpack, shook his head, having no such interest.

Seeing this, Song Jiaojiao pressed her red lips together, stepped forward, and gently placed one hand on that piece of ore.

"Crack!"

The ore shattered open.

A dazzling radiance resembling colorful rosy clouds suddenly burst forth throughout the entire [Monkey Village Mineral Deposit Secret Room], its strange light illuminating everything around into a gorgeous splendor.

That was a flower!

A flower with seven-color gradient shades, not looking like a physical entity, but more like an energy body.

The petals looked like roses; however, in the stamen part, there was a rainbow-colored dandelion-like fluff ball.

It grew on a blue-purple crystal mine of a similar material to the ore Chu Hong had opened, standing alone as an abrupt single flower, yet the energy aura it emitted made the three of them nearly suffocate.

The whole scene was dead silent!

Chu Hong was also directly shocked speechless by Song Jiaojiao's heaven-defying move.

"Etern—[flower of eternity]!?"

His voice pitched high, and his tone at this moment sounded hoarse and exaggerated.

[Item Name]: flower of eternity

[Item Grade]: Red

[Value]: 13,140,230

[Type]: Source Energy Substance

[Weight]: ＜ 0.01 kg

[Backpack Slot Capacity Occupied]: 3 × 3

[Item Description]: The most valuable precious treasure of [Primitive Valley No. 1], possessing extremely high biological genetic research value. Palino Bio-Group relied on just a single one to create super-humans like [Cliff Yang]. The [flower of eternity] contains eternal and inexhaustible energy; behind its beautiful appearance, it may also hide hidden dangers sufficient to destroy the world.

At this moment, Chu Hong was so shocked that he blurted out curses.

"Holy shit! Two Supremes in one round!?"
