97: The twelve constellations reappear

More than an hour had passed since Lin Du entered the Supreme Secret Realm.

Outside the Supreme Secret Realm, a commotion had long erupted, with all sorts of discussions and rumors.

"Why hasn't Night Ember come out yet? He's not really going to clear it, is he?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could the Supreme Secret Realm be so easy to clear!"

"In my opinion, maybe his corpse has already been eaten by the monsters in the Supreme Secret Realm..."

"Haven't you noticed? After Night Ember entered the secret realm, Ember Eyes and Hong Jiu'er haven't said a word."

"It seems these two strong women have reached a point of irreconcilable conflict over Night Ember!"

"Look quickly, Hong Jiu'er's face is all red; her concern for Night Ember is clearly written on her face."

"Don't talk nonsense, Hong Jiu'er's expression is clearly one of anger! She must be angry that Night Ember brought other women into the secret realm..."

As Lin Du still hadn't appeared, the unease in Hong Jiu'er's heart grew stronger.

Ning Fengya, not far away, appeared calm, but in reality, her emotions were also extremely complicated.

Beep, beep, beep—

In Ning Fengya's chat list, an avatar suddenly flickered.

Ning Fengya opened the chat list, and when she saw that the flickering avatar was a domineering lion, she was stunned.

He actually came to Yunlong City?

"Death Waltz: Gemini, are you free? I want to see you!"

Looking at the invitation in the chat log, Ning Fengya frowned slightly.

"Ember Eyes: Not free at the moment."

After a long silence, a message was sent again from the other side.

"Death Waltz: My people saw you near the Supreme Secret Realm. Are you there?"

"Ember Eyes: Yes."

"Death Waltz: It's impossible for anyone to clear the level 30 supreme secret realm; you don't need to waste your time there!"

Ning Fengya didn't reply, and another message quickly came from the other side.

"Death Waltz: Is there any progress on recruiting a new Aquarius?"

"Ember Eyes: In Yunlong City, only Yuan Shu is qualified, but she won't join The Twelve Constellations."

"Death Waltz: It's okay, we can take our time finding a candidate."

"Death Waltz: By the way, I heard that a player named Night Ember has recently been breaking dungeon records with astonishing achievements. Does he have a chance?"

"Ember Eyes: His level is too low, and he doesn't have enough dungeon medals. No chance!"

"Death Waltz: His level being low doesn't matter, as long as he has enough dungeon medals, that's fine. We value potential!"

Ning Fengya glanced at it and didn't reply further, directly closing the chat window... Inside the Supreme Secret Realm.

Lin Du's forward pace slowly softened, and after taking a step, his silver charm blade swiftly stabbed towards the front left.

Swish—

The silver charm blade's speed was extreme, precisely hitting a creature in the darkness.

Feeling the sensation transmitted back from the silver charm blade, Lin Du's expression suddenly changed.

"Something's wrong!"

A sense of crisis suddenly arose in Lin Du's heart. Without thinking, his body directly bent into a strange arc.

Whoosh—

The moment Lin Du bent down to dodge, a sharp claw sliced through the air, passing through the spot where his head had just been... Looking at the black creature that flashed past, a hint of solemnity gradually appeared in Lin Du's eyes.

"Monster": Death Wraith (King-rank Monster)

"Level": 36

"Skills": 1. Greedy Bite

2. Death Claw

"Introduction": The messenger of death in the night, one of the strongest among King-rank Monsters.

The Supreme Secret Realm was much more intelligent than ordinary dungeons.

After Lin Du's level increased to 36, the levels of subsequent monsters also underwent significant changes.

"The monsters in this second stage actually mutated?"

Lin Du had originally placed a Lord-level monster called "Evil Wraith" in the passage.

The Death Wraith in front of him looked similar to the Evil Wraith, but their strength was worlds apart, not on the same level at all.

Clearly, some of the Evil Wraiths in the passage had transformed into Death Wraiths!

The Evil Wraiths were originally just an appetizer for the second stage, but now that Death Wraiths had appeared, Lin Du could no longer be careless.

Even the appetizer had become King-rank peak; the strength of the subsequent monsters could well be imagined... Whoosh—

After its first attack missed, the Death Wraith flew back towards Lin Du again.

Lin Du was about to raise his hand to counterattack when seven or eight faint wing-flapping sounds suddenly appeared simultaneously around him.

These sounds were very soft, but they couldn't escape Lin Du's keen perception!

Lin Du lightly tapped his foot, transforming into a phantom and meeting the Death Wraith directly in front of him.

"Death Slash!"

Swish—

The speed of a King-rank Monster was, after all, a step behind Lin Du!

Before the Death Wraith could react, the silver charm blade had already pierced its chest... Pffft—

"Killed Death Wraith Lv. 36, gained experience points +21655, lifespan value +2.1 days"

"heart of the goddess of luck triggered, rewards doubled!"

As the first Death Wraith fell, the sharp claws of the other Death Wraiths around him had already reached Lin Du's body.

Lin Du used the momentum from his previous charge, lightly tapping his toes on the wall, and his speed suddenly increased.

"Extreme Speed Nine Consecutive Strikes!"

Whoosh—

The Death Clown possessed top-tier speed talent; even with the Death Wraith's terrifying speed, it was difficult for them to touch a single corner of Lin Du's clothes.

Lin Du utilized his speed advantage, his figure nimbly weaving through the midst of the Death Wraiths.

Swish—

Swish, swish, swish—

Of the nine attacks from Extreme Speed Nine Consecutive Strikes, with every strike that landed, a Death Wraith was bound to perish.

By the end of the nine attacks, all the Death Wraiths that had been besieging Lin Du were dismembered!

"Killed Death Wraith Lv. 36, gained experience points +21655, lifespan value +2.1 days"

"Killed Death Wraith Lv. 36, gained experience points +21655, lifespan value +2.1 days"

...As Lin Du was about to continue forward, a terrified cry for help suddenly came from behind him.

Miss Bu Dong called out as she frantically fled towards him.

"Black-Hearted Boss, help!"

"There's a big monster coming from behind!!"

Behind Miss Bu Dong, a giant man dragging a broken steel saw and covered in festering sores was chasing, huffing and puffing.

"Monster": Steel Saw Poison King (Emperor-rank)

"Level": 36

"Skills": 1. Death Saw Bone Blade

2. Giant Corrosive Body

"Introduction": A ghost king from the Ghost Tribe, a thick-skinned, bloodthirsty killing maniac of the Ghost Tribe.

Looking at the monster's introduction, Lin Du's pupils contracted.

"Emperor-rank?"

"Another mutated monster?"

"Something's not right here!"
