47: Chapter 47 I would call him a true man

"Those who didn't hand over a key don't get a teleportation scroll."

Afterward, all the Professionals began lining up to receive their teleportation scrolls before entering the secret realm.

After collecting their teleportation scrolls, Tang Mo and Fang Wenqian arrived at the entrance of the secret realm.

Tang Mo directly selected Purgatory difficulty.

【Are you sure you want to enter the Purgatory-level secret realm?】

"Confirm!"

Tang Mo pressed the confirmation button without the slightest hesitation.

Beside him, Fang Wenqian rubbed her eyes vigorously.

"Hey, you chose the wrong one! You pressed the entrance for the Purgatory-level secret realm!

Click 'No', click 'No' quickly!"

"I didn't click the wrong one; I intend to enter the Purgatory-level secret realm.

If you're afraid, you can leave right now."

"Afraid? Me, afraid? Are you joking? At worst, I'll just teleport back."

Stung by Tang Mo's words, Fang Wenqian's competitive spirit was instantly ignited.

Since she had a teleportation scroll anyway, she figured she'd just go and see what a Purgatory-level secret realm looked like.

Fang Wenqian secretly cheered herself on.

Then, Fang Wenqian also clicked confirm.

With a flash of intense light, the two figures vanished from the spot.

The two staff members standing nearby heard that Tang Mo was going to the Purgatory-level secret realm and wanted to step forward to stop them,

but before they could speak, the two had already disappeared into the secret realm entrance.

"We must notify the Director immediately!"

"Someone has entered the Purgatory-level secret realm without permission!"

"This is simply too reckless! In a Purgatory-level secret realm, teleportation scrolls are useless!"

The Professionals queuing behind Tang Mo also heard the staff members' words and were deeply shocked.

"Holy crap, I actually lived to see someone dare to charge into a Purgatory-level secret realm!"

"To dare to enter a Purgatory-level secret realm, I'd call him a real man!"

"Sigh! It's just a pity for such a beautiful girl, insisting on following him in."

"What did you say? The goddess from just now also entered the Purgatory-level secret realm?!"

"Yeah, she went into the Purgatory-level Poison Thunder Marsh Secret Realm with that guy who doesn't talk much."

"For real? My goddess is gone?!"

"Waaa... my love is gone!"

...

In the blink of an eye, Tang Mo and Fang Wenqian appeared inside the Poison Thunder Marsh Secret Realm.

Before them was a hazy expanse with visibility of less than 10 meters.

Tang Mo immediately thought of the Poison Barrier;

this was likely the unique Poison Barrier of the Poison Thunder Marsh.

So, he reminded Fang Wenqian to start using an antidote.

Since the two entered the secret realm together, they naturally formed a party.

While Tang Mo's poison couldn't harm Fang Wenqian,

the poison within this secret realm could still hurt her;

after all, Fang Wenqian didn't have Tang Mo's God-tier passive.

Hearing this, Fang Wenqian hurriedly pulled out the antidotes she had prepared earlier,

glug, glug, glug—she downed two bottles directly.

"Why aren't you using an antidote?"

Seeing that Tang Mo didn't drink any, Fang Wenqian suddenly wondered if this guy had forgotten to bring any.

Tang Mo gave a slight smile.

"I don't need to detoxify because I am the plague god.

A plague god isn't afraid of poison."

As he spoke, Tang Mo waved his hand, and a Poison Barrier even denser than the mist in the Poison Thunder Marsh quickly enveloped the nearby area.

Through the perception of the Poison Barrier, Tang Mo also thoroughly mapped out the terrain here.

The surroundings were almost entirely marshland covered in soft mud,

with some unknown aquatic plants growing lushly upon it;

at first glance, it looked just like real solid ground.

A muddy little path surrounded by the marsh was the only remaining land.

Tang Mo and the other were teleported exactly onto this path.

The surroundings were silent; there wasn't the cruel slaughter right from the start as one might have imagined.

As Tang Mo's Poison Barrier expanded, Fang Wenqian could also clearly perceive the surrounding situation, which made her very curious.

"I can actually perceive everything around me, just like I can see it. It's amazing! Is this your skill?"

Tang Mo didn't speak, nor did he deny it;

he was focusing all his attention on guarding against the surroundings.

From the moment they entered until now, the secret realm had been dead silent, with no sign of any ferocious beasts.

However, the immense sense of pressure coming from all sides still kept Tang Mo on high alert.

The absence of beasts in a Purgatory-level secret realm was likely just the calm before the storm.

Tang Mo glanced at Fang Wenqian and saw her clutching her teleportation scroll tightly, looking around with a tense face, terrified that something might leap out of the mist.

"Are you doing okay?"

The taciturn Tang Mo rarely showed concern for someone,

but at this moment, Fang Wenqian had no mind to care about such things. Her whole being was high-strung and she was scared to death, yet she didn't want to show weakness in front of Tang Mo.

"I'm fine, I'm okay. Don't underestimate me, I am a Legendary Class Professional."

Saying this, she proudly showed her Professional attribute panel to Tang Mo.

【Name: Fang Wenqian】

【Class: Holy Word Speaker (Legendary)】

【Level: 22 (2.3%)】

【Strength: 1072】

【Agility: 1026】

【Spirit: 1903】

【Skills: Holy Light Protection (Lv22), Divine Sanction (Lv22), Light Barrier (Lv12), Holy Light Baptism (Lv12), Holy Fire Charge (Lv2), Holy Fire Shield (Lv2)】

Tang Mo clicked his tongue inwardly.

Whether it was attributes, equipment, or skills, she was leagues ahead of that Zhang Bin;

especially since two of Fang Wenqian's innate class skills were actually Rare-grade.

Splash~

Just as Tang Mo and the other were momentarily distracted, a massive creature suddenly leaped out of the marsh.

It was about ten meters long, shaped like an eel, but its entire body flickered with electric light.

Inside secret realms, just like in dungeons, one didn't need to use an inspection skill to see the attributes of ferocious beasts directly.

As the eel-like beast drew closer, Tang Mo saw its attributes clearly.

【Poison Thunder Eel】

【Level: 22】

【Talent: Discharge】

【Strength: 31360】

【Agility: 27420】

【Spirit: 41600】

【Endurance: 800000】

【Skills: Thunderbolt (Lv22), Lightning Strike (Lv22), Thunder Domain (Lv22), Poison Immunity (Passive), Slimy Coating (Passive)】

Tang Mo shoved Fang Wenqian aside,

then with a wave of his hand, ten thick Highly Toxic Vines shot out,

blasting directly toward the Poison Thunder Eel.

Upon contact, they were smashed to pieces by the Poison Thunder Eel.

However, Tang Mo didn't expect the Highly Toxic Vines to withstand the Poison Thunder Eel; he only wanted to slow down its charging speed.

Sure enough, blocked by the Highly Toxic Vines, the Poison Thunder Eel's form paused in mid-air, and its momentum weakened significantly.

It was now clearly impossible for it to hit Tang Mo.

The slimy outer membrane on the Poison Thunder Eel's body protected it from the poisonous thorns of the Highly Toxic Vines, preventing it from being scratched.

Having missed its strike, the Poison Thunder Eel leaped straight into the other side of the marsh.
