Chapter 67: Qingziling Secret Realm

The next morning.

It was just daybreak when the clear crowing of poultry could be heard from Qingziling Town, not far away.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's get in the car. The Qingziling Secret Realm is still some distance away from here."

Wu Qiong had short, neat hair and spoke in a decisive manner. He led everyone towards a seven-seater car.

Everyone carries a wilderness survival backpack, which contains more or less some necessary supplies. The secret realm is not a place for playing house, and sometimes carrying an extra bottle of drinking water may save your life.

The space in the car was a bit small, Qi Sui leaned forward, took off the backpack and held it in his arms.

The car was soon speeding along the rugged mountain dirt road. The further we went, the more desolate the surroundings became.

About half an hour later.

The car was stopped at a checkpoint manned by armed soldiers.

"The Qingziling secret realm is ahead. Do you have a communications license?" asked the leading soldier.

"some!"

Wu Qiong took out a piece of gold-plated paper from his backpack and handed it over.

You can't enter the secret realm whenever you want. You must declare it in advance and obtain approval from above before you can pass.

The application conditions are not difficult, the difficulty lies in the fact that the capacity of the secret realm will be limited.

If the application is submitted late, or there are no special connections, the application may still remain in the approval stage until the secret passage is about to collapse.

After being scanned by a special instrument, the leader returned the paper, stood at attention, saluted, and said, "Let it go!"

After that, after passing through three checkpoints in succession, a small military camp finally appeared at the end of the sight.

"Okay, we're here, get ready to get off!"

Wu Qiong parked the car, and as soon as everyone got out, a group of soldiers followed them.

"Hello, we are adventurers applying to go to the secret realm of Qingziling!"

Wu Qiong had many experiences of traveling to secret realms and was very familiar with the procedures.

"Okay, everyone please follow me!"

Looking at the young faces of several people, the leading soldier wondered in his heart which martial arts university these students were from and they came here for training. He did not dare to be negligent and led everyone towards the depths of the military camp.

Along the way, Qi Sui was looking at the scale of this small military camp.

According to a rough estimate, there should be about 300 people, the configuration of a reinforced company, and there are several heavy artillery parked in the open space.

This force is mainly used to prevent indigenous creatures from escaping from the secret realm, and is the first line of defense for the safety of life and property of the surrounding people.

At this moment, not far ahead, where the firepower was most intense, a mysterious blue-purple halo as big as a mirror suddenly appeared.

It is about one square meter in size and is suspended in the air about 20 cm above the ground.

Just one glance at that blue and purple halo will give people a strong sense of tearing and dizziness.

“Is this the secret passage?”

Qi Sui's heart tightened.

He had seen it on short videos many times before, but this was the first time he saw it with his own eyes.

A young soldier wearing glasses came over, saluted everyone, and said, "First, let me introduce the situation of Qingziling Secret Realm to everyone. It is a temporary Class B secret realm. It will stabilize in about a month. The flow rate of time is 1:1 with the outside world, so no matter what you gain, you must come back within a month."

"understand!"

Wu Qiong nodded.

She was the initiator of the event and the team leader, and she stepped forward to negotiate with the military personnel.

"Okay, then each person needs to pay 10 contribution points to go to the secret realm!" the young soldier added.

Do I need to pay contribution points to enter the secret realm?

Qi Sui had never really understood this situation before. "Okay!"

Except for him, everyone else behaved very calmly and cooperated with the soldiers to pay 10 contribution points each. It can be seen that this should be a very common policy.

It was Qi Sui's turn soon. Before he could say anything, he saw Gu Xiyue looking at him with bright eyes.

"Qi Sui, do you have any contribution points? If not, can I pay them for you first?"

"Yes, I happened to help the National Security Bureau defeat an organization involved in evil spirits, and I was rewarded with ten contribution points."

Qi Sui explained and displayed his contribution point payment code.

"Ding, 10 contribution points have arrived!"

Gu Xiyue nodded, turned around, and said nothing more, but a hint of thought flashed in her eyes.

"Okay, next we will distribute a special military watch to everyone, which has the functions of coordinate positioning and calling for help."

"In addition to this, there is some information collected during the early stages of the secret realm development, which should be helpful to your trip!"

"Finally, I wish you all a safe and successful return!"

After explaining the whole content, the young soldier saluted them and they saluted in return.

Afterwards, Wu Qiong put the distributed miniature watch on his right wrist and took the lead to walk towards the blue-purple space channel suspended in the air.

"Let's go, don't fall behind!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she stepped into the space passage and her figure completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

The people behind followed closely, and soon it was Qi Sui's turn.

Without hesitation, he stepped into the blue-purple space light curtain. He felt a solid sensation similar to stepping on tiles. Then, an irresistible suction force came from the space channel, completely swallowing him up.

"Is this the dimensional passage?" Qi Sui's face was full of amazement.

At this moment, he was in a long and narrow enclosed space similar to an underwater passage. Behind him was the blue-purple light curtain of the entrance, and at the end of his sight he could see another blue-purple light curtain, which should be the exit of the secret realm.

Outside the space channel, there is a brightly colored turbulence, with strange lights and chaos, like a surging tide, and from time to time a strange whirlpool will condense.

The concept of time and space seems to exist here, and it seems to be forcibly folded thousands of times by a supreme law.

"Qi Sui, don't stay in the passage too long, follow me!" Gu Xiyue, who was walking in front, turned around and reminded.

"Ok!"

Qi Sui walked forward quickly.

He noticed that some tiny cracks could be seen on the surface of this space channel formed by the condensation of blue-purple light flow.

This is the sign of a temporary secret realm.

If the time continues a little longer, the cracks on the surface of the secret passage will spread over a large area until they are completely swallowed up by the colorful turbulence, and the passage will no longer exist.

A moment later, he passed through the blue-purple light curtain at the end of the passage, his feet stepped on a soft and hot desert, and the dry air rushed into his nostrils with an indescribable stench.

A strange crimson full moon hung high above.

The red light from the full moon spread across this vast and boundless desert. The howling wind brought the sand like a sharp blade, cutting the cheeks of every intruder.

"This is the secret place of Qingziling. Everyone, watch your step when you move. If you encounter danger, act together and try to avoid getting hurt!"

Wu Qiong took out a robot dog from his backpack: "I will use the robot dog to explore the way ahead and avoid risks as much as possible."

Qi Sui didn't listen to what the woman said. He just looked up at the sky stiffly. The light from the red full moon sprinkled on him, and he felt like it was eroding him everywhere.

The intense feeling of discomfort made his heart beat faster, and it seemed as if every cell in his body was frantically rejecting the surrounding environment.

The only thing to be thankful for is that this feeling of rejection is only a psychological discomfort and does not have much impact on one's martial arts strength.
