Please take me out

Looking at their confused expressions, Xuan Nu smiled and said, "I understand that you don't know. To put it simply, I am actually the guardian of this medium-sized Hell Secret Realm, and all medium-sized Hell Secret Realms are under my jurisdiction."

Ye Chen understood what Xuan Nu meant and spoke up, "Since that's the case, what is the reason for your sudden appearance?"

Xuan Nu looked around and said, "Because I want to make a deal with you all."

"A deal?"

The group was even more confused.

Zhu Qiang said, "A deal? What kind of deal could we possibly make?"

"Don't be so impatient. Listen to me first. This deal is very simple: you take me out, and in return, you will receive rewards," Xuan Nu said, her eyes sparkling with a smile.

Looking at Xuan Nu's expression, one could see deep confidence.

Ye Chen, however, laughed and said, "Your Excellency Xuan Nu, that seems a bit unfair to us, doesn't it? We could have obtained experience points anyway, but you suddenly appeared and interfered. Isn't that a bit unfair?"

"Hmm, what you say makes sense. It is indeed unfair to you, but so what if it's unfair? Do you have any room to negotiate?" Xuan Nu said with a tough attitude.

As a Level 30 Lord-tier monster, she naturally possessed her own pride.

"Your Excellency Xuan Nu, talking like that isn't interesting. This isn't a deal, it's a threat. Fine, then let's just wait it out. The environment here is actually quite nice." Saying this, Ye Chen sat down on the ground and started to slack off.

"You!" Xuan Nu didn't expect Ye Chen to react this way and was slightly angry.

Seeing Ye Chen displeased, no one expected the first one to object to be Gun Gun. Gun Gun stepped forward, punched Xuan Nu in the leg, and shouted, "You old woman, how dare you bully my master! This one will beat you to death!"

Xuan Nu looked at Gun Gun, was suddenly shocked, hurriedly backed away, and shouted sternly, "Stop!"

"I won't stop! This one is going to beat you to death!" Saying this, Gun Gun hugged Xuan Nu's thigh and bit down on it.

Seeing this, Ye Chen hurriedly shouted, "Gun Gun, come back."

Upon hearing Ye Chen's command, Gun Gun snorted at Xuan Nu, walked over to Ye Chen's side, sat down on the ground, crossed its arms, and huffed.

In Xuan Nu's eyes as it looked at Gun Gun, there was a hint of terror.

"Whatever conditions you have, just say them!" Xuan Nu finally let go of its haughtiness.

Ye Chen understood that Xuan Nu was afraid. Although Gun Gun had low combat power, its stats and skills were terrifying. Having infinite HP meant you couldn't do anything about it, but Gun Gun also had a chance of instant kill. Xuan Nu was a smart person and would absolutely not gamble with its own life.

Ye Chen stood up again and said, "My conditions are simple. Aren't you the manager of the Hell Secret Realm? Double the experience points we earn this time, and stay by my side for a month. During that time, help me fight and tell us information about the monsters."

Xuan Nu became anxious upon hearing this: "Impossible! I am only a manager and have no right to change the amount of experience gained. However, I can give you equipment from the Secret Realm. Also, a month is too long; I can stay by your side for at most one week."

"No problem, deal!" Ye Chen agreed immediately.

Ye Chen hadn't originally intended to get anything. He just wanted Xuan Nu to stay by his side to tell him about the monsters and help with the monster siege battle the day after tomorrow. The enemy's highest combat power was that Level 30 Lord-tier Lisandra, who also seemed to be from the Psychic Clan. Having Xuan Nu's help would give him a slight advantage.

This equipment from the Secret Realm was purely an unexpected bonus.

Seeing Ye Chen agree so readily, Xuan Nu immediately realized it had been tricked.

But since it had already agreed, it wasn't easy for Xuan Nu to go back on its word, so it stomped its foot in anger.

Xuan Nu flicked its sleeves, and suddenly ten items were thrown in front of Ye Chen and the others.

"Holy crap! We've hit the jackpot, Brother Chen!"

Five four-star Divine Artifacts and five five-star Epic-tier equipment pieces.

The five four-star Divine Artifacts were all defensive gear. Among the Epic-tier items, there was one weapon, while the rest were equipment.

Armor, boots, helmets, wings, and various other parts of equipment—everything was there.

And they were all Level 25 equipment.

That five-star Epic-tier weapon happened to be a battle axe, which was very suitable for Tang Qiu's Bull Warrior.

When Ye Chen gave the weapon to Tang Qiu, Tang Qiu was instantly dumbfounded and said blankly, "Ye Chen, is this really a five-star Epic-tier weapon? Are you sure you want to give it to me?"

Ye Chen nodded and smiled, "Why not? You are also a Level 20 Pet Master now."

Tang Qiu was initially hesitant, but Zhu Qiang added from the side, "Sister Tang Qiu, don't be so polite. We all have five-star Epic-tier weapons. As our teammate, if you don't have one, it would be too shabby!"

Tang Qiu had no choice but to accept the battle axe.

As for the remaining items, Ye Chen took two pieces of defensive equipment and gave them to the Alchemist and Dark Ji.

Blood Asura didn't need any, and Ye Chen didn't need that Golden Armor, so he had already given it to Blood Asura to use.

Among the four-star Divine Artifacts, Gun Gun picked up one item and hugged it to its chest.

It held it tightly, as if afraid someone would snatch it from its hands. Ye Chen looked over and discovered it was a weapon.

It was called the Frost Gauntlet. The attack bonus was useless for Gun Gun, but the passive attribute was quite good—a 25% chance to stun the enemy for three seconds, which was quite fitting for Gun Gun.

A flash of inspiration suddenly struck Ye Chen. Actually, he could completely build Gun Gun for an effect-based style. While attack and defense bonuses were useless for Gun Gun, he could absolutely equip it with gear that had passive attributes.

Ye Chen opened the Battle Alliance Warehouse and found that the Thorned Backplate was still lying inside. Ye Chen took it out and equipped it on Gun Gun.

Since it was low-level equipment, it only had a 5% reflection effect, but it was better than nothing.

"If you hit me, I don't lose health; hitting me is like hitting yourself." This point was perfectly suited for Gun Gun.

After seeing the group finish dividing the items, Xuan Nu spoke up, "I have done what I promised you. Now it's time for you to fulfill your promise, right?"

Ye Chen nodded, "No problem, but we don't know how to take you out either."

"Of course you can't, but it can take me out." Xuan Nu suddenly pointed at someone.

It was Little One.

"Little One?"

Yu Nian held Little One's hand and said, "Little One? How can Little One take you out?"

Xuan Nu revealed a mysterious smile, "Of course it has a way."

Yu Nian squatted down and asked Little One, "Little One, do you have a way to take it out?"

Little One made an "hmm" sound and nodded.

Everyone was stunned.

But Ye Chen was soon relieved. After all, Little One was encountered in the Hell Secret Realm, so it was understandable that Little One could take Xuan Nu out.

As for the method of Little One taking Xuan Nu away, Ye Chen could also guess it.
