Goblin Dependency

Dodd’s final means have a tremendous impact on the entire Secret Realm.

Currently, time and space are suspended across Stodd Island and nearby seas, and Elite adventurers have been in the accelerated time ritual for dozens of days.

A significant portion either died from various accidents in the Secret Realm or were killed by other participants to absorb life energy.

As the ritual enters the final stage, the number of adventurers remaining in the Secret Realm has already decreased to less than half.

Among them are some fortunate ones who have never experienced battle types.

These individuals haven’t even figured out the ritual’s mechanism of slaughter and evolution, only relying on their experience as Senior Adventurers to survive in the Secret Realm.

While others have at least undergone one evolution, some have even reached a species level close to Third Evolution due to factors like air drops.

Having experienced slaughter and absorption of other participants’ life energy, they naturally understood Dodd’s "Algae Scale" purpose and actively explored the map while hunting other adventurers to strengthen themselves.

However, limited by their disadvantage in terms of information, they neither can control the entire map like Dodd nor perceive the nearby adventurers’ locations like Sarisa.

Thus, even though the map has contracted significantly, their evolution progress remains limited.

... Until now.

When Dodd decides to use his backup plan, granting every adventurer in the Secret Realm the ability to perceive other participants’ locations.

The battle, which was already intense due to the shrinking map, instantly accelerates into a chaotic and uncontrollable state.

Adventurers pulled into the Secret Realm aren’t fools; initially confused, they quickly deduce that the scattered moving light points in their minds represent something after some contemplation.

Those who originally chose to survive due to luck, possibly remain cautious, but can’t withstand the active pursuit and attacks from participants who have experienced slaughter and desire to become stronger by using other adventurers’ life energy.

The thick scent of blood mingles with the rapidly contracting, faint red map boundaries, the aura of death permeating the air in the Secret Realm.

Of course, for Xia Nan, this is also a good thing.

Though he loses Sarisa’s perception advantage, his evolution level has already reached a point of absolute dominance.

He doesn’t even need to use Human Combat Skills that are brought into the Secret Realm due to the attribute panel; the basic quality of the wolf body alone is enough to tear apart ordinary adventurers who have evolved just a few times.

The only pity is that perhaps their four-person group is the largest team in the Secret Realm, making no adventurers dare to approach actively, requiring Xia Nan to go out and search himself.

But with his speed, any selected target likely can’t escape.

"Humph."

Between Wolf Mouth, a long sword composed of mist energy slices a rhinoceros adventurer who maintains a sprinting posture into two.

The seemingly vague outline of the blade is as sharp as high-quality enchanted equipment, and the rhino’s thick, tough skin couldn’t resist at all, not even for a half-second delay; where the blade passes, skin, flesh, and even bones are neatly sliced open.

Accompanied by a wolf’s howl, the curved sword light disappears swiftly in the air.

The large, fierce Black Wolf and the rhinoceros pass by each other.

Between the opening and closing of Wolf Mouth, the black long sword turns into mist, gently dispersing.

The rhino still maintains its charging posture, its short, thick four legs moving even more slowly.

A thin bloodline starts from the horn and extends backward, across the shoulders, chest, abdomen, hind legs, and short tail...

"Bang!"

The heavy, bulky body falls to the ground with momentum.

Along the suddenly expanded bloodline as the boundary, crimson blood gushes as its upper half, enclosing half a horn, the back of its head, an elevated back, and the rear thigh along with half a tail, slides off the struggling and twitching corpse.

Buzz——

A shimmering blue orb symbolizing life energy leisurely floats above the corpse.

The approaching Black Wolf Beast only slightly raises its head, and the blue light seems to be invisibly guided, flowing into its body.

Having already reached the limit of five evolutions, no longer needing to reserve energy for the leap in life levels, all absorbed light becomes the purest energy supply, dispersing throughout its body to enhance physical quality.

Black mane sways in the wind as if the sharp energy just wrapped it completely, muscles expand and contract, becoming more solid and compact, and the already enormous body grows half a circle outward at a visible speed, remaining light, but activity shows more hints of strength.

"Skill Level +2"

"[Gravity Control]lv1 (77/100) → [Gravity Control]lv1 (79/100)"

"Skill Level +4"

"[Embers Resonance]lv2 (76/100) → [Embers Resonance]lv2 (80/100)"

"Skill Level +7"

"[Heavy Tide]lv4 (51/100) → [Heavy Tide]lv4 (58/100)"

"..."

Eyes skim over the semi-transparent characters flashing in the void ahead, Xia Nan suddenly realizes.

This rhino adventurer must have completed an evolution before encountering him and is decent in terms of combat strength.

But the skill level given is noticeably more compared to ordinary participants.
