"What do you think?"

"It seems something happened later."

Just as Gould was arranging his men to go to the opposite side, everyone else returned to their teams and whispered while watching Gould's movements.

"It's not really a forager, is it?" Nockman said quietly and urgently.

After staring at Gould's movements for a while, Genard's face suddenly turned uglier. He turned his head and said in a deep voice: "We are in big trouble. He wants everyone to retreat over there."

Nockman was suddenly startled, "Then shall we retreat or..."

Genard thought quickly and said urgently: "Since Gould left so decisively, it means that he thought that the other side of the gate could no longer withstand it, so he had to go this way to find another way out."

"Aren't there so many people guarding the gate? It should be okay to hold on until we go back, right?" Nockman still couldn't believe it.

"Let's not talk about whether there are other foragers here. What if all the remaining ghouls on the road we cleared when we came are surrounded? It's not like you don't know Gould's character. If there is really no way out for him,

You won't do that." Genard stared at Nockman and said every word.

Hearing this, Nockman's expression finally changed completely. If all the ghouls in that area were to surround them, no, let alone all of them, even if there were only half of the ghouls, even if they could break out, there would only be a few left.

, not to mention there are many corpse monsters inside.

"What about the brothers over there?"

"If you go back now, you will die. We can only hope that they can break out before the encirclement when the situation is bad. Hurry! Let's leave quickly, otherwise the undead creatures will surround us and this place will become a battlefield!" Genard's expression changed.

Said gloomily.

After saying that, he led the team members out and walked toward one of the ropes without waiting for Knockman to reply with a wave.

"Haha, since Captain Gould wants to send someone to investigate, I will come to accompany you."

Gould turned his head and met Genard's eyes, and they both immediately understood the other's intention, and also smiled slightly, "In that case, let's get together."

On the other side, Sharon also led the team to another rope, nodded to the two of them, and directly arranged for the soldiers to start crossing the ravine.

Others looked at their actions with some surprise and uncertainty. The people who originally seemed not to want to go over suddenly became more active.

Venomous Scorpion watched several teams come to the rope one after another with a gloomy expression. He also caught a glimpse of Gould's situation just now. Although he didn't know what had happened, he was suspicious by nature and felt that something was wrong.

But it is also because of this personality that he is still a little hesitant. He is always a little lucky. After all, it is better to go back the same way and face unknown dangers on the other side, not to mention whether there is an exit over there.

Don't even know the way.

Just when Venomous Scorpion was hesitating, he saw Frenza of the Wright family leading Oakes and the family guards to the last rope, and this scene finally made him make up his mind. He knew Oakes' identity.

, since even he has gone there, there is nothing to hesitate about. The Wright family will not even care about the life or death of the young master.

Poisonous Scorpion looked at the number of people in the team in front of the four ropes, winked at his men, and then moved towards the back of the virtual world chamber of commerce team. As for why he chose the virtual world chamber of commerce, it was because judging from the number of people, even if the number of people increased,

As for Nockman's team, their number is still the smallest.

"Mu Yun, you guys should go over first after Rayes and climb over the rope? I think with your physical fitness, it should be okay? As long as you don't look down." Genard turned his head and looked around.

The people around me whispered instructions.

"clear."

"I'm fine, I've climbed on this thing before."

Mu Yun also nodded. Although this was his first time climbing on this thing, if he fell, he would really die. It was impossible not to be frightened.

But judging from the reactions of Gould and Genard, there was indeed something unexpected happening later, and it was probably difficult to resist, so they were forced forward.

What's the big deal about climbing a rope in comparison?

Both Ike and Schward climbed over smoothly, especially since Ike's rope climbing speed was indeed as he said. He had done this kind of thing before, but it was just the first time at such a high place.

When it was Mu Yun's turn, Mu Yun calmed down, first grabbed the rope, jumped and crossed his legs to firmly fix it on the rope, and then moved to the opposite side bit by bit.

It wasn't until he experienced it personally that he realized it was not as difficult as he imagined. This was thanks to the changes brought about by the source of energy to his body after awakening. If it were the body he had in his previous life, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on for long just hanging on it.

However, the rope swayed up and down during the crawling process, which worried him for a while. He always felt that the rope would break at the next moment. As for the abyss beneath him, he couldn't see it because he was facing upwards, so it was not that scary.

It seems that when I go back, I need to study the runes that enhance my jumping ability. Although I can't jump so far at a time at a low level, I can always use it after mastering it more. Maybe I should also study something like a gecko climbing a wall.

Combination runes like abilities? Mu Yun couldn't help but think.

After going through this secret realm, he became more aware of the shortcomings and shortcomings of his abilities. If he could master this kind of rune in this secret realm, it would be much easier for him to deal with ghouls. As long as he climbed up the mountain, he would

He has the final say whether to go or fight, instead of being passive like now.

In this case, he can climb up the mountain, so that even if the back road is cut off, he can retreat safely, instead of having to cross the rope to seek survival in a more dangerous place on the other side.

However, he also knows that this is not something that can be researched in a short time. There are only three kinds of runes that strengthen the body at the first level of the life system. Even in the first three levels, there are only these three. If you want the other ones, you have to research the combination by yourself or start from

Simplified rune usage found in Advanced Runes.

These three types are the "Power of the Violent Bear" which represents strength, the "Swiftness of the Leopard" which represents speed, and the "Rock Turtle Protection" which represents defense that he has never had the chance to use yet.

He also tried this rune during the experiment. It hardened the skin of the body to strengthen defense. An ordinary sword would have to cut hard to break through his skin.

But he wouldn't be stupid and just hit people casually, right? At least at the current level, he wouldn't dare. The hardness that this rune can currently strengthen is limited. At most, it can only reduce some damage. Facing the third level of crisis,

The Shield of Life is currently his strongest defense method, so during this trip to the secret realm, he just got a "Rock Turtle Protection" tattoo just in case. He never had the chance to use it when fighting Mozar before.

These three types of runes will become stronger as his level increases and the deeper the rune patterns he masters, it can be said that they will accompany him for a long time.

Other than that, he can only rely on himself to explore.

The distance of thirty meters was neither short nor long, and he quickly climbed to the opposite side while thinking. When his feet landed on the ground, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, Mu Yun, you're climbing so slowly, haven't you ever played with this kind of rope before?" As soon as Mu Yun landed, Ike ran over and teased.

"It's true that I've never played before. This is the first time." Mu Yun shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile.

Schwarde frowned and looked at the opposite side, "There is a little bit of rope. If all these people come here, it will take more than an hour. I don't know if the time is enough."

Mu Yun also turned back to look in the direction he came from. From this side, the place they came from looked like a big groove split in the middle of the mountain, with equally steep mountain walls extending to the distance on both sides. At least from the current point of view,

There is no way back around here.

At this time, the mercenaries on the four ropes were still climbing the ropes in an orderly manner, but if they knew that there might be pursuers behind them, they would probably not be so calm, and then it would be time to fight for them.

"It's hard to say. Judging from Captain Gould's appearance, something happened just now. Even if the defenders on the other side of the gate collapse at the first touch and the undead creatures rush over, it will still take about an hour. At this speed, we should be able to get through." Mu Yun was a little confused.

Said uncertainly.

Just as they were climbing the rope, there was another tragic situation at the gate they had breached before.

All the ghouls and corpse demons in the entire mine seemed to be crowded under the big hole, and there was not a single living mercenary there.

There were stumps and broken arms everywhere, and the blood made the dark brown earth color even darker. Except for some ghouls who were still eating the corpses of mercenaries, the entire group of corpses was divided into two groups and moved towards the opposite direction.

Pursuing in the direction.

A group of people chased the mercenaries who were running out of the mountain. What could be seen was that almost all of these mercenaries were defeated. Compared to the original team of hundreds, there were only a few dozen people left here.

However, no one dared to slack off at all, and they all gritted their teeth and persisted, because there were thousands of undead creatures chasing them, and as soon as they stopped, not even the scum would be left.

On the other side, there were more mercenaries running towards the mountain. Most of them saw that there was no hope of breaking through and wanted to run to the vanguard for help. In their hearts, they still had the luck to survive as long as they caught up with the vanguard.

.

In fact, there is indeed this opportunity. If there are no other undead creatures to stop them, the speed of the ghouls will not be able to catch up with these mercenaries for the time being, and as long as they run to the vanguard, they will have a chance to escape the crisis.

But not long after, some mercenaries who were running close to the mountain wall saw in despair a series of black shadows rushing down from the mountain wall towards them before they could breathe a sigh of relief!

Perhaps until their death, they didn't understand why the originally peaceful gate was surrounded by ghouls outside without warning, and they entered hand-to-hand combat before they even had time to form a formation, so that at the moment of contact, they were

It was defeated directly.
