Chapter 1 Scorp, Take the Team for a Chance to Strike

"Scorp, take the squad and look for an opportunity to strike. Don't alert them unless you're sure." Bai Ye nodded.

After entering the Secret Realm, there weren't many places where members of their various fleets could gather. Besides the starting point, they could choose the same path to the inheritance. Each inheritance path had a rest stop where players wouldn't be harassed by monsters. There were no other places to strike.

Now that the various fleets needed to rest, choosing a path afterward was the best opportunity to act.

Although it would strain her relationship with Jun Wuchang a bit, it was a loss she could bear to complete the task assigned by the Demon God.

"A squad? Isn't that overkill? He's just one person. I can kill him without anyone knowing," the black-clad assassin named Scorp said dismissively, glancing at Shi Feng in the distance.

He was a top expert sent by the Sacred Temple to protect Bai Ye in secret.

He was also a well-known top assassin, ranked sixty-ninth on the Wind and Cloud Expert List. There were only a handful of top experts in the entire God's Domain who could withstand his assassination.

Assassinating an unknown kid was a piece of cake. There was no need to use the entire guard squad.

To ensure Bai Ye's safety, the guard squad was usually responsible for guarding Bai Ye in shifts. It consisted of six members, the lowest of whom had reached the Half-Step Flowing Water realm, and most were Flowing Water realm experts.

Letting them deal with a wild kid was an insult to them.

At this time, the other five members of the guard squad also nodded. Letting their captain take action was already a high compliment because no one in the entire End Sea Domain could withstand their captain's assassination methods. Having them all go together was simply bullying.

"Better safe than sorry. This task is very important to me. If I succeed, I might be able to go a step further," Bai Ye said coldly and seriously.

Immediately, Scorp and the others felt a shiver run down their spines as immense pressure hit them.

Only Scorp and the others could feel this pressure because it didn't come from strength but from the difference in status.

They also understood the seriousness of the matter.

"I understand," Scorp said quickly.

The other guard squad members nodded silently, not daring to speak.

Immediately, Scorp and the others quietly activated Stealth and slowly circled toward Shi Feng, clearly wanting to form an encirclement and not give Shi Feng a chance to survive.

Just as Scorp and the others were approaching Shi Feng step by step, Shi Feng released the Swift Dragon speedboat.

The moment the Swift Dragon speedboat appeared, the originally calm water suddenly stirred up a whirlwind. Huge whirlpools formed in the water, and the entire cave seemed to be shaking, as if it were about to collapse.

"What's going on?" Everyone couldn't help but become alert.

The Secret Realm was full of dangers, and it wasn't uncommon to lose one's life carelessly. Now that there was such a big commotion in the cave, how could people not be alarmed?

"Look at the grottoes in the distance!" a ranger with good eyesight suddenly shouted.

Immediately, everyone looked toward the grottoes in the distance.

At this time, the smoke in the cave had been blown away by the wind. Although the situation in the entire cave wasn't clear at a glance, they could see most of it.

The twelve grottoes leading to different paths now had one more, and this opening was very large.

"Oh my god, no way!" Everyone was shocked by this scene.

The Freedom Alliance had summarized the situation in the Secret Realm.

There were a total of twelve inheritance paths, and the openings varied in size, divided into three levels: 20 yards in diameter, 30 yards in diameter, and 50 yards in diameter. The larger the opening, the more dangerous it was inside. This was their conclusion from the last time because none of the teams that entered the 50-yard diameter opening made it to the inner area. Instead, the First Fleet passed through the smallest 20-yard opening.

The newly appeared opening had a diameter of at least 100 yards, enough for four speedboats to move forward side by side...

"How could this be? This didn't happen last time!" Jun Wuchang looked at the huge opening with a complex expression.

Because the opening in front of him might be the biggest secret of the Sea Dragon Secret Realm, he just didn't know if he should enter. If they didn't go in this time, they might not have the chance next time. After all, this situation hadn't happened last time, so it couldn't be ruled out that it would definitely appear next time.

But the level of danger was undoubtedly the greatest.

"Opportunity! Hahaha, the opportunity has come!" The head of the Second Fleet, Xia Tianqi, was overjoyed and secretly said to Tian Zhu, "This is our chance. If we can obtain the strongest inheritance of the Sea Dragon Secret Realm, no matter how many times Shang Buyan comes to the Secret Realm in the future, he won't be able to compete with us for Sea Heaven City."

"But the difficulty is probably not small," Tian Zhu, the head of the Fourth Fleet, said with some worry.

"What are you afraid of? Don't forget we still have that," Xia Tianqi said, not caring at all. "If we don't try, we might not have the chance in the future."

As he spoke, Xia Tianqi took out a glass bottle without saying a word and chanted a spell.

Suddenly, a small sailing ship with two main sails appeared on the water. The huge size was incomparable to a speedboat. Even a Bronze-grade speedboat looked like a small wooden boat in front of this sailing ship, and it could be sunk easily.

"Is this Xia Tianqi's trump card?" The mouths of the other fleet leaders formed an 'O' shape after seeing the small sailing ship.

In a state where advanced speedboats were not yet popular, small sailing ships were the dream of all maritime players.

So far, no one in the entire End Sea Domain had heard of anyone owning a small sailing ship.

Jun Wuchang and Bai Ye in the distance also frowned, their expressions somewhat ugly.

Small sailing ships and speedboats were completely different levels of things. If speedboats were pistols and machine guns, then small sailing ships were tanks, completely crushing speedboats. Even facing Great Lord-ranked sea beasts alone, they could easily withstand them, not because of anything else, but because sailing ships could carry enough players.

"Hahaha, we'll take the lead." After releasing the small sailing ship, Xia Tianqi didn't say a word and organized everyone to board the ship, heading directly for the largest cave.

Although the small sailing ship in his hand was only Ordinary grade, it was still not comparable to a speedboat. The capacity alone was 100 people. When fighting bosses, they could allocate many MTs to share the damage, which was simply incomparable to speedboats. Together with their Second Fleet and Fourth Fleet's eight Bronze-grade speedboats, they were definitely the strongest fleet in the entire Freedom Alliance.

"As expected of Xia Tianqi, his preparations are really impressive." Shang Buyan smiled, then also took out a glass bottle from his backpack.

In the blink of an eye, another small sailing ship appeared before everyone's eyes, and the leader of the Freedom Alliance's Eleventh Fleet also followed Shang Buyan onto the sailing ship, chasing directly after Xia Tianqi. Speaking of fleet strength, they had one more Bronze-grade speedboat than Xia Tianqi.

Immediately, the other fleet leaders were dumbfounded.

They knew that the top-ranked fleets had hidden a lot of strength, but they never expected them to hide so much.

"Shang Buyan! Xia Tianqi!" Bai Ye looked at the two small sailing ships that had already gone far away, her eyes full of anger.

Originally, she had planned to become the Freedom Alliance's First Fleet in one fell swoop, but now her plans had been disrupted by the two.

"Bai Ye, Jun Wuchang and the others have also taken action." The masked woman beside her pointed to Shi Feng and the others who were already sailing toward the largest cave.

"Are they stupid?" Bai Ye looked at the five speedboats that were rushing over and said with a puzzled look.
