Goblin Dependency

Regarding the Secret Realm that was about to end, Xia Nan felt quite reluctant.

After all, he had never encountered such a situation before, where he could gain valuable Battle Skill Skill Levels simply through murder.

If the Secret Realm could continue indefinitely, with his patience, he might even endure until he raised all the Battle Skills he currently possessed to Full Level before leaving, even if it required him to grind for hundreds of days or even years inside.

The sudden transformation within the Secret Realm a few days ago allowed everyone to gain the ability to perceive the positions of other participants, and greatly increased the amount of Life Energy left behind after each adventurer's death.

At first, Xia Nan thought it was quite nice, because in this situation, the Battle Skill Skill Levels he could gain also increased.

But as the number of remaining adventurers within the Secret Realm dwindled, he gradually discovered the disadvantages.

After all, before this, he wasn't aware of the situation with "Algae Scale" Dodd's side, but within his own team, he had Sparrow Salisa, who could perceive the positions of nearby adventurers.

This gave Xia Nan an information advantage that other participants didn't have.

However, the recent upheaval in the Secret Realm nullified this advantage.

It also caused the adventurers he was supposed to find one by one and help exit the Secret Realm to start murdering each other.

Significantly reducing the Skill Level rewards Xia Nan obtained.

Of course, this anthill-like mechanism allowed many participants, who had only gone through one evolution, to increase to a higher Life Level in combat, thus leaving more Life Energy.

Yet, most of the time, the Life Energy absorbed by adventurers was not entirely left behind upon their death.

Just like an adventurer who had already killed three participants, reaching the Second Evolution stage; upon their death, the Life Energy left might only equal that of two adventurers combined, showing evident loss and reduction in the process.

Given this premise, even though Xia Nan was already diligently engaged in hunting these days, the ultimate Battle Skill Skill Level rewards were still slightly inadequate for the upgrade breakthrough.

Now, within the entire Secret Realm, perceivable surviving participants only included their team of four, plus two more.

It's possible to speculate that one of these might probably be the one who orchestrated the ritual — "Algae Scale" Dodd.

As for the remaining one…

A peculiar expression appeared on Xia Nan's face.

In his real world, from the human perspective floating above the sea surface.

On the coast, caught in confrontation before being drawn into the Secret Realm, "Wind Forger" and "Furious Tide Battle Gang," Blue-glow wrapped Elite adventurers suspended in the air, now had all their light dispersed, returning to where they originated.

Except for one silhouette alone, enveloped in a luminous blue glow, floating in the air slightly away from the crowd.

—Half-Elf Alton.

Hmm… It was somewhat predictable.

Being favored by the Goddess of fortune, surviving until now in the Secret Realm seemed reasonable.

Though unsure of how the little one managed to withstand the shock from other adventurers over time.

Nonetheless, after collecting information confirming the other's survival, the current situation has become evident.

Save for a few on his end, the remaining two lights in his perception are "Algae Scale" Dodd and Half-Elf Alton.

Xia Nan's faction has an absolute numerical advantage.

But in his heart, he wasn't complacent in the slightest; instead, growing more cautious.

Having undergone five evolutions and absorbed quite a bit of Life Energy during this period, his physical prowess has been enhanced.

Xia Nan understands all too well the intensity of his current wolf form.

Due to this, the initial ceremony performer naturally possesses informational advantages and other unknown conveniences; estimating this individual likely reached five evolutions, probably strengthening overall combat power considerably by harvesting numerous adventurers' energy.

Xia Nan finds it challenging to gauge the true strength of "Algae Scale."

Even if he holds the advantage of Battle Skills and can employ the Embers Resonance as an explosive last resort, he might still not be a match for Dodd.

Moreover, his teammates, led by Lorin, have decided that if "Algae Scale" is overwhelmingly powerful, Xia Nan shouldn't hesitate to send them out of the Secret Realm too, using the life energy left behind upon exiting to fortify himself.

Of course, this is the last resort in a desperate situation.

Currently, Xia Nan's group's plan is to first find the still-surviving Alton, gather all their strength, and then launch an attack against Dodd.

However, it seems their strategy might have been detected; for in their perception, two dispersed lights that were once significantly apart are now rapidly closing distance under the active momentum of one light.

Without enough information to distinguish these lights specifically, it's evident that Alton is about to come into contact with "Algae Scale" Dodd.

As teammates, Xia Nan and the team certainly wouldn't just stand idly by.

After a brief discussion, the four-person team set off with a plan to provide support.

If fortunate, and Alton can hold out until they arrive, a showdown with "Algae Scale" Dodd might be possible.

However, due to their positional limitations, despite Xia Nan and crew's timely actions, they can only helplessly watch in their perception as "Algae Scale" Dodd and Alton's lights overlap.
