196: Key to the Secret Realm of Insect Swarm

As the phantom of the Demon he controlled dissipated, a surge of Necromantic Power, far greater than before, poured into Gu Qinghan's body.

Originally, Gu Qinghan wouldn't have been able to reach Level 30, but with this infusion of Necromantic Power, he actually succeeded in reaching Level 30!

At the same time, Gu Qinghan also received another advancement trial mission:

Trial Mission 1: Kill 1000 Professionals.

Trial Mission 2: Kill 1000 Commander Level monsters.

Gu Qinghan's face turned a bit purple. Although he had already deduced the content of this mission based on previous trial missions,

when he really saw that he had to kill 1000 Commander Level monsters, Gu Qinghan still felt a bit exasperated.

One must know that his three Death Mutated Creatures were only Commander Level.

It wasn't that Gu Qinghan lacked the combat power to kill 1000 Commander Level monsters.

The biggest problem was that Gu Qinghan had no idea where to find so many monsters!

The Mutated Creatures that used to appear frequently seemed to have vanished recently, not a single one showing up.

And to search for Commander Level monsters from the gate of calamity, Gu Qinghan estimated it would take him until next year.

"Is this mission really serious? It's not trying to force me to kill a thousand people, is it?"

Gu Qinghan frowned. He couldn't possibly go and kill a thousand Professionals.

Although that would be much less difficult, he increasingly felt that this kind of two-choice trial mission should affect something.

Suddenly, Gu Qinghan thought of something, and three fragments appeared in his hand.

Three fragments of the insect tide secret realm key.

After Gu Qinghan obtained them, due to various emergencies, he never had time to synthesize them.

But today, he suddenly realized that he should be able to find a large number of Commander Level monsters he needed in there, right?

Just from the words "insect tide," Gu Qinghan could guess the scene inside this so-called secret realm.

If it wasn't tens or hundreds of thousands in number, could the word "tide" even be used?

He immediately combined the three fragments. A faint light flashed, and the three fragments in his hand turned into a single key.

This key looked extremely adorable, like a chubby silkworm baby was lie on it.

insect tide secret realm key (gold-grade): Special Item.

Effect: After use, the Insect Tide Secret Realm can be opened, and the user can enter the secret realm.

Just a key was already gold-grade, so one could imagine what kind of opportunities awaited within this secret realm.

However, Gu Qinghan was not in a hurry to use it now.

He simply tidied up the scene, then walked out of the deformed door.

The Crow King brought Gu Qinghan back to the Shicheng Military, and someone immediately recognized Gu Qinghan, who was covered in blood.

Soon, General Sun Liancheng appeared before Gu Qinghan, his gaze sweeping over him repeatedly.

"Stop looking, it's not my blood. You can send people to take over there now.

Those who could control Little Demons probably don't have many left, or perhaps they're all dead."

Zhu Wenfu was the source that gave these people the ability to control, and now that the source was dead,

even if there were still some people outside who could control Little Demons, they should have already met their demise.

Sun Liancheng's eyes showed an expression of disbelief. Gu Qinghan had only been gone for a few days, and he had already resolved the matter?

But he knew that Gu Qinghan would not lie, nor would he bother to lie.

He quickly made arrangements, but then heard Gu Qinghan ask:

"Where's that kid Luo Mu? I have a few words to tell him."

Sun Liancheng understood the deeper meaning in Gu Qinghan's words and replied:

"He took people to level up next to a large gate of calamity we just found, saying he didn't want to hold you back.

If you have something urgent, I'll have someone call him back."

Gu Qinghan smiled, looked at the bloodstains on his body, and said with a laugh:

"It's nothing urgent. The general can pass on the message for me.

It's about some information on Demon Contractors. They..."

Gu Qinghan told the other party all his analysis of the Contractors, then stretched and said:

"I'll take a shower and get some sleep. I might disappear for a while.

During this time, I'll entrust this kid Luo Mu to the general's care.

He wants to build a force. If he has any difficulties, I hope the general can offer some guidance."

Sun Liancheng's mouth was completely agape at this point, and even Ren Tianqi next to him had a ghost-seeing expression.

He rubbed his face and asked Gu Qinghan somewhat comically:

"Is everything you said true? How did you know?"

Gu Qinghan spread his hands and said naturally:

"I found out by coaxing and tricking them. These Contractors don't tell the truth, so this was the only way."

The two generals exchanged glances, then suddenly gave Gu Qinghan a standard military salute in unison.

Gu Qinghan smiled slightly and did not avoid it.

This information might be of ordinary value to ordinary people, but its value to the military was immeasurable.

He was making a deal, exchanging this information for their care of Luo Mu.

Although Luo Mu had extremely strong abilities, he was still too young and didn't have the cunning of Gu Qinghan.

He didn't know how long he would be in the secret realm. To make this kid grow up quickly, he had to find him a powerful teacher.

And when it came to strategy and combat, how many people could surpass these two generals?

Gu Qinghan believed that with their experience, his little scheme must have already been known to them.

This transaction, where both parties could obtain what they needed, was fair.

After chatting with the two generals for a couple more sentences, Gu Qinghan also felt a bit tired.

To be honest, scheming with people was really exhausting; he wanted to get a good night's sleep.

"Generals, you don't need to mind me anymore. I'm going back to sleep.

I'm going to enter that Insect Tide Secret Realm, and I don't know when I'll appear again."

After he finished speaking, he slowly walked towards his residence, causing the surrounding soldiers to glance at him sideways.

After Gu Qinghan's figure disappeared, Ren Tianqi said to Sun Liancheng:

"Do we really have to teach Luo Mu how to build a force? The ultimate ownership of this force will definitely be Gu Qinghan's."

Sun Liancheng gave a wry smile, looked at his old friend, and said:

"Do you have a better way? If we don't help, won't he find someone else?

If the outcome cannot be changed, it's better to let such a strong person become our friend."

Ren Tianqi also nodded, looking in the direction Gu Qinghan left, and said:

"I have to say, there's a reason why this young man Gu Qinghan can be so powerful.

He has actually gone far ahead of everyone else, yet he still doesn't want to rest for a moment."

Sun Liancheng nodded in deep agreement, with a hint of a smile, and said:

"Let's go. Our old bones should also put in some more effort.

Many people in China are still suffering right now. I hope that before I die, I can see what this game looks like when it ends."

"Don't worry, it will happen. Don't forget the drink you owe me then!"
