74: Chapter 74 Lu Tie's newly installed chin fell off again...

[Name: Blood Moon Labyrinth Secret Realm (Invasion)]

[Rank: Five-Star]

[Difficulty: Nightmare]

[Invading Monster Rank: Within Rank 5]

[Rank Limit: Within Rank 5]

[Party Limit: None]

[Cooldown: None]

...

Upon entering, Lu Chen saw a massive blood moon in the sky. Blood-colored moonlight spilled over the dilapidated and ancient city, bathing the entire environment in a crimson hue.

What greeted Lu Chen's eyes were crumbling city walls and a black-red moat emitting a thick, bloody stench and foul odor.

Many corpses floated on the river, some belonging to class-transferred individuals, with unidentified birds pecking at them.

A ticket to a Five-Star Nightmare difficulty Invading Secret Realm!

The City Lord of Yunlan City actually dared to offer this as a reward!

"Big Boss, the Blood Moon Labyrinth has four areas. We are currently in the Outer City Wall area. Further in, there is the Blood-colored Square, the Clock Tower Labyrinth, and the City Lords Palace. The rift is located inside the City Lords Palace, and there is a Rank 5 Domain Lord BOSS guarding it. Can we really do this?!"

Lu Tie was still panicking inside.

He had thought Big Boss Lu Chen was taking him to farm three normal Four-Star Secret Realms, not coming straight to farm a Five-Star Nightmare difficulty Invading Secret Realm.

Even though his gear was brand new and his strength had greatly increased, in this map, he would at most last a few extra seconds before being slaughtered by the Invading Monsters. It was simply not on the same level.

If he hadn't signed the SSS-grade Loyalty Contract and couldn't disobey Big Boss Lu's orders, he wouldn't have come here even if it killed him.

"You know quite a lot about the Secret Realm's intelligence."

Lu Chen looked at him with new eyes.

"Hehehe, it's just that I often attend gatherings for wealthy ladies. I've been influenced by what I hear from them, so naturally, I know quite a bit of intelligence about the Yunlan City Secret Realms."

Lu Tie rubbed the back of his bald head and chuckled, then immediately looked worried again: "Big Boss, the difficulty of this map is too high for me. I can't handle it."

[Ding, Lu Chen has left the party!]

Damn!!!

Lu Tie was dumbfounded.

No!

Big Boss, I just said I couldn't handle it, and you're already giving up on me? You can't play like that!

"Big Boss, I was wrong! Don't leave me alone!"

"Who said I was leaving you? I just want to level up alone; you just need to stay by my side."

"Okay! As long as you don't leave me behind, hehehe!"

Lu Tie breathed a huge sigh of relief. He had almost peed himself just now. Fortunately, Big Boss only wanted to gain experience alone. He just didn't know how Big Boss would deal with the powerful Invading Monsters inside.

The monsters in the Blood Moon Labyrinth were not easy to deal with!

Most of them were Elite Monsters!

Moreover, no one had dared to come in and farm this Secret Realm for many years. No one knew exactly how many Invading Monsters were gathered here now, but the number was definitely not small.

Click, click, click!

Invading Monsters detected the intruders and quickly gathered toward Lu Chen and the other.

"Big Boss, those are the Blood Slaves guarding the Outer City Wall. Their health bars are very thick!"

Although Lu Tie was terrified, as a man who adhered to the Tough Guy Creed, he disdained hiding behind others, even behind the Big Boss.

He raised his heavy shield, striking a defensive pose.

Lu Chen felt very approving of Lu Tie's actions. This Lu Tie could continue to be cultivated a bit more; in the future, he could acquire more tickets for him.

Just then.

The nearby broken city walls also stirred, automatically shifting aside to reveal pitch-black caverns from which many Gargoyle Invading Monsters stepped out.

That wasn't all.

Swoosh!

From the moat, the corners of the city walls, and the distant houses, a massive number of blood-colored Bat Invading Monsters flew out, dense and numerous!

"Oh my god! Why are there so many Invading Monsters? Didn't the big wealthy lady say that there were at most a few thousand Invading Monsters at the Outer City Wall? This is in the tens of thousands, right?!"

Lu Tie's face turned deathly pale.

With such a large number of Invading Monsters, even if Big Boss Lu Chen was powerful, he couldn't handle it, right?

After all, Big Boss Lu Chen's Rank did not exceed Rank 5. Even if he had many trump cards, he would at most kill half of the Invading Monsters before his mana was exhausted and he was left waiting for death.

It's over!

My dream of having my name as a tough guy resound across the world is going to be cut short halfway.

[Forbidden Spell — Eye of the Ringed Heavens!]

Lu Chen activated the Forbidden Spell eye. His eyes were instantly filled with Reincarnation-like ripples, releasing a soul-captivating might.

"Big Boss, this is..."

Lu Tie was incomparably shocked to see the change in Lu Chen's eyes.

Although he didn't know what skill Big Boss Lu Chen had released, he could tell from the might and skill effect fluctuations emanating from Big Boss Lu Chen that this was a super skill he couldn't even imagine!

This gave him a glimmer of hope.

But only a glimmer.

At this moment.

The map of the Blood Moon Labyrinth's Outer City Wall area was swept under Lu Chen's gaze; even parts of the Blood-colored Square map scene were clearly visible to Lu Chen.

After all, the coverage area of the Rank 4 Eye of the Ringed Heavens Forbidden Spell's [Sky-Dome Gaze] effect was 40% of a map!

All the Invading Monsters being gazed upon had a special eye symbol mark appear above their heads, causing the swarm of monsters to panic.

Even the giant Stone Giant Leader Invading Monster BOSS hiding in the piles of the city wall — the Wall Guardian! — was disturbed at this moment. It suddenly opened its giant eyes and stood up with a rumble, its height a head taller than the city wall.

"Big Boss, the BOSS has been disturbed! I can hold it for at most 2 seconds!"

Seeing the BOSS appear, Lu Tie's expression returned to tension and fear, but he didn't take a step back.

Just for this point.

He was much braver than Carlos.

"Hold it? You don't need to hold it!"

As his words fell, Lu Chen released the Skyquake Blast effect!

The next second.

A golden energy matrix covered the entire map.

At this time, the final BOSS, the Blood Moon City Lord, inside the City Lords Palace was sipping fresh blood wine when a matrix suddenly appeared for no reason, giving it a fright.

When it saw clearly that the matrix effect only targeted marked targets, it breathed a slight sigh of relief, then immediately darkened its face and ordered its subordinates to go check who had broken into its territory.

The Invading Monsters in an Invading Secret Realm were unlike the monsters in a normal Secret Realm; there were no rule prompts when someone broke in, so they had to investigate personally.

"What is it this time?"

Lu Tie was startled again, staring blankly at the massive golden matrix that had suddenly appeared. Was this Big Boss Lu Chen's skill effect?

But...

Isn't this a bit too exaggerated?

Just this range.

I'm afraid it covers the whole city, right?

Countless question marks surged in his heart.

Isn't Big Boss Lu Chen a Beast Tamer?

Why are all his skills unrelated to the Beast Tamer class?

This is simply a BUG!

Sizzle!

The golden energy matrix suddenly exploded, releasing countless golden arrows that pierced through all the marked Invading Monsters.

120% attack power bonus piercing damage!

It instantly killed all marked Invading Monsters, including the giant Stone Giant Leader BOSS!

Thud, thud, thud!

The blood Bat Invading Monsters in the sky all crashed down, making dull thudding sounds as they landed.

Gulp!

"This... this... this..."

Lu Tie was so shocked his jaw dropped; he tried to put it back in place with his hand several times but failed.

What kind of Heaven-Defying skill is this!

One skill instantly killed the Invading Monsters of a small map?

And it was a total wipeout!

Even the BOSS couldn't take a single hit!

Big Boss!

Super Big Boss!

Super invincible Big Boss!

At this moment,

Lu Tie had a crazy thought: the previous global announcement about the first clear of the Corrupted Temple was probably all thanks to Big Boss Lu Chen!

Only with such invincible strength would one be qualified to achieve the first clear of a Hell difficulty Five-Star Secret Realm with only three people!

And he had been taken in as a lackey by such an invincible Big Boss; his future would be full of infinite possibilities.

"It must be that the spirit of my Old Ancestor in heaven was ignited, which is why a big plume of Great Green smoke rose up!"

Lu Tie swore in his heart.

From now on, even if Big Boss Lu Chen asked him to go to a Hell difficulty Secret Realm, he wouldn't even furrow his brow.

"Let's go! To the Blood-colored Square!"

"Eh? Mighty and invincible Big Boss Lu, aren't we going to pick up the items dropped by these Invading Monsters? Let me pick them up. My hand speed is super fast; wealthy ladies have even praised me!"

"..."

Lu Chen was speechless. You better be talking about real hand speed: "No need! Just stay close to me; my beast pets will pick up the items themselves."

As his words fell, one hundred thousand Shadow Soul Mice appeared, quickly picking up all the items.

Damn!

One hundred thousand beast pets???

Lu Tie's jaw, which he had just put back in place, dropped again...
