Chapter 1 Madman

As Shi Feng charged towards the two giant beasts in the distance, the complexions of Silent Red Star and Wildfire Berserker, who remained in place, turned green.

"He's insane! Truly insane!" Silent Red Star looked at Shi Feng, who had already left the range of a hundred yards, and said anxiously, "Everyone follow Fugle and retreat quickly! Don't stop, return to Violet Light City! Wildfire, you and I will stay behind to cover the retreat!"

"Okay!" Wildfire Berserker also took out his weapon, his expression becoming unprecedentedly solemn.

While the members of Violet Sword were in a state of tension, Burst Sand and the others watching from a distance nearly had their eyes pop out.

"Quick! Retreat! That Black Flame is simply crazy! He's actually charging directly towards those two Regional Leaders!" Burst Sand couldn't help but shout.

As Burst Sand's words fell, the faces of the Mirage Myth members, who were preparing to leave under the tree, also changed drastically.

"That Black Flame is truly a madman. Is it not enough that he's crazy himself? He's even planning to drag everyone down with him. Didn't the people from Violet Sword tell him to avoid the Regional Leaders when encountering them?" The female knight under the tree couldn't help but curse.

Regional Leaders may seem like just Rank 4 Legendary monsters, but the Legendary monsters in the Ancient Secret Realm are much stronger than those outside. Their strength and speed alone are more than 30% higher, and coupled with their massive size, fighting them is truly earth-shattering. Even their two-hundred-man Rank 3 expert team would have a very hard time dealing with them without outside interference, and there would even be significant losses. If other monsters constantly joined the battle, it would mean total annihilation.

But this isn't even the most terrifying thing about the Regional Leaders. The Legendary monsters in the Ancient Secret Realm can directly trigger the magic within a radius of five thousand yards when fighting players, sensing all movements within that range.

It can be said that as long as players step into the Regional Leader's perception range of four or five hundred yards, or fight with the Regional Leader, they can forget about escaping. All players within a radius of five thousand yards will become the target of the Regional Leader.

Five thousand yards!

If players cannot kill the Regional Leader, then they simply cannot get rid of it. This is why everyone calls the Legendary Bosses in the Ancient Secret Realm Regional Leaders.

Normally, fighting one Regional Leader would be manageable, and there would still be a chance for the main force to escape. But with two Regional Leaders, it would mean total annihilation…

As the female knight spoke, the members of Mirage Myth turned around and ran.

However, before they could run far, they saw the surrounding magic suddenly boiling, and everyone felt their life force being locked onto.

"Damn it! Everyone run in different directions, save whoever can be saved!" Burst Sand looked at Shi Feng in the distance, feeling like he was going crazy. He even suspected that Shi Feng was doing it on purpose.

The faces of Silent Red Star and the others, who were closer to the two Regional Leaders, were also heavy. If they couldn't escape the five-thousand-yard range of the two Bosses, they could forget about escaping the battle.

Five thousand yards!

Even for these Rank 3 experts, it would take a long time to run that far, and players in the Ancient Secret Realm cannot use any magic items at all, so there was no way to escape.

"Madman! We're all being killed by that madman!" Fugle, who was leading the retreat, couldn't help but curse as he felt his life force being locked onto.

Although dying in the Ancient Secret Realm was similar to a dungeon, and wouldn't directly cause a level drop, the loss of experience points was not a joke. After all, their current levels were no longer what they were before level 100, and the leveling speed was very slow.

Just as Fugle was leading the retreat, he suddenly noticed something.

He saw that the members of Zero Wing and Azure Chamber of Commerce were still standing in place, not moving a single step, as if they hadn't heard Silent Red Star's words at all.

"What are they doing? Do they want to die with that Black Flame?" Fugle looked at Lone Cold and Yuan Xiaoqian, who were standing still in the team, his heart filled with surprise.

It was one thing for others not to listen to Silent Red Star, but Lone Cold and Yuan Xiaoqian had trained with him under Silent Red Star and were very clear about how strong Silent Red Star was.

Now that Silent Red Star had clearly said to retreat, it meant that the situation was very critical, and Lone Cold and Yuan Xiaoqian should be very clear about this.

But these two were not moving at all, and the expressions on their faces were unusually calm, as if nothing had happened.

"Vice Guild Leader, let's go quickly. That's Zero Wing and Azure Chamber of Commerce's business. Red Star and Wildfire Coach can't hold out for long against the Regional Leaders." The Rank 3 Assassin who was retreating beside Fugle quickly said.

"That's right." Fugle nodded, his eyes filled with sympathy as he looked at Lone Cold and Yuan Xiaoqian.

Originally, with the potential and talent of Lone Cold and Yuan Xiaoqian, they could have shined in God's Domain, but they belonged to a guild like Azure Chamber of Commerce. Now, they were following an unreliable Guild Leader, and they couldn't even retreat without the Guild Leader's orders.

However, just as Fugle turned his head and hadn't run a few steps, he heard a loud noise behind him. The sound echoed throughout the forest and shook the entire forest. Then, he heard a bear's roar, and a beam of magic directly passed by Fugle and the others, leaving a huge pit in the ground, like pudding that had been scooped out with a spoon…

"Are they fighting?" Fugle ran while looking at the trench not far from him, his face becoming even more gloomy.

This was the Legendary monster of the Ancient Secret Realm. With just a few moves, the terrain of the forest had changed. Let alone one person charging up, even a Rank 3 hundred-man team composed of top experts would be sending themselves to their deaths.

If they really wanted to fight, they would need a top expert team of two hundred people, and they would also need two or three MTs who had mastered the Domain to take the main aggro. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to withstand the attacks of those Regional Leaders, and even a single mistake could affect the team, leading to total annihilation.

After Fugle and the others ran for more than fifty yards, they suddenly saw a flash of lightning streak across the distance, followed by thunder that resounded through the heavens and earth. Then, after a while, the sky turned dark.

A giant ape with a height of two hundred meters swept over their heads and landed heavily more than two hundred yards away. The ground cracked inch by inch, and the giant ape, which was staggering, nearly fell. Its six house-sized eyes were staring intently into the distance, letting out deafening roars. It charged directly forward, completely ignoring Fugle and the others, as if they didn't exist.

"This… what… is going on?" Fugle looked at the six-eyed giant ape, which was completely ignoring them, and was completely stunned.

The top experts of Violet Sword on the side rubbed their eyes blankly, feeling like they were dreaming. But no matter how much they rubbed their eyes, the several giant pits left behind by the six-eyed giant ape in the distance were still there and had not disappeared.

Then, Fugle and the others heard a series of loud noises and the sound of giant trees collapsing. However, the source of the noise was very far away, and it should be quite a distance from the six-eyed giant ape that had just charged up.

This made Fugle and the others couldn't help but turn their heads to look back.

They immediately saw a man wearing a black cloak and holding twin swords, like the darkness of night, standing quietly on the treetop in the distance. A giant bear that had just climbed up was staring intently at the man, and the giant ape on the other side of the giant bear was circling around the man, as if looking for an opportunity.

However, Fugle and the others could see a hint of fear in the eyes of the Unicorn Giant Bear and the Six-Eyed Giant Ape, clearly filled with fear towards the tiny man standing on the treetop.
