Your secret game is absolutely poisonous!

Mengbai takes on the Royal Guard Knight Loretta one-on-one.

This battle attracted many adventurers to come and watch and learn.

Qi Ji paid attention to all of this.

Loretta is the final boss of the Caria Fortress.

It is also a necessary boss to unlock Lani's storyline, and its difficulty is very high.

Her fighting style is a fusion of the Great Tree Guardian and part of the Full Moon Queen Renara.

In the original Old Man Ring game, this battle was even more difficult than the Full Moon Queen. However, the new Miracle City remake of the Ring world has a clear power level division, and the main story boss is more in line with the background and plot logic.

Queen Full Moon is a heroine who once led a large army to resist the Golden Tree army. She also controlled the magic academy as Queen Kalia. Her peak magical skills and strength must have been at the top level in the border region.

Loretta was merely one of the Full Moon Queen's knights. Even though the Full Moon Queen had fallen into madness and her strength had greatly diminished, she was still no less powerful than one of Loretta's clones.

Among Qi Ji's materials, the Full Moon Queen Rena La had the strength of a fourth-tier three-star at her peak, Loretta's original body had the strength of a fourth-tier one-star, while this clone is only at the peak of a third-tier four-star.

Even so, they should not be underestimated.

At this stage, it is extremely difficult for adventurers to defeat it.

Meng Bai is currently using prayer magic and hound movement techniques to entangle with the Royal Guard Knight Loretta.

Loretta's offensive is extremely fierce. Her close-range attacks include various slashing or stomping skills, while her ranged attacks include magic bows, magic sword arrays, and magic rain of radiant stones.

Her spirit warhorse possesses exceptional mobility, capable of leaping twenty to thirty meters in a single bound, always managing to dodge various spells or ambushes in time.

After several rounds of fighting...

Mengbai spent most of the time desperately dodging and had little chance to retaliate. In the end, she was taken away by a huge magical arrow, and the challenge ended in failure.

It's really difficult!

Moreover, in a short period of time.

No adventurer could possibly reach this place.

Meng Bai couldn't team up with the adventurers from Miracle City to challenge the Royal Guard Knight Loretta, but she didn't give up and immediately launched a third, fourth, and even more challenges.

No accidents.

Try again and again.

Through trial and error.

They kept dying at the hands of this powerful boss.

Mengbai was not discouraged by this. She kept changing her prayer magic and equipment combinations, and each battle she made more progress than the last.

The initial method to defeat Treant Protector was through constant trial and error, coupled with a strong ability to deduce and simulate, until I became completely familiar with Treant Protector's moves and style, found its weaknesses, and turned the tide of battle.

It's the same this time.

The fighting style of the Royal Guardian Knight Loretta is very similar to that of the Tree Guardian, except that she is faster, stronger, more ferocious, and also possesses magical abilities.

Ke Mengbai has now mastered eight or nine kinds of prayers or spells, and possesses a large number of combat skills and high-quality equipment.

With the blessing of Dragon Lightning and various secret medicines or status effects, she was able to briefly unleash the combined strength of a third-tier unit. Although Loretta's spirit body still had a huge advantage, it could not achieve a complete tier-based crushing victory.

Fifth time, defeat!
Eighth time, defeat!
The tenth time, a defeat!
After ten consecutive defeats, he only had enough energy left to fight twice more, and the dungeon's remaining opening time was less than an hour. If he continued to suffer defeats, he was destined to be unable to clear the city of Kalia.

The eleventh match ended in another narrow defeat!
Although Meng Bai still fell to Loretta's terrifying flying slashes in this battle, she also inflicted a lot of damage on Loretta, whose spirit was so weak that it almost collapsed completely.

"Last chance!"

Mengbai began to activate the Ancient Dragon Prophet's ability to deduce and meditate, rapidly replaying the eleven defeated battles in his mind ten or a hundred times, perfectly restoring every detail and every movement, allowing Mengbai to absorb the experience more deeply.

About half an hour later.

Amidst the cheers and encouragement of the adventurers, Meng Bai embarked on her twelfth adventure!

This was her last bit of energy, and the dungeon was closing in half an hour. It was a fight to the death!
Mengbai entered the BOSS arena, first quickly buffing herself with Vic Dragon Lightning, and then activating the Golden Oath, instantly raising her attributes to the threshold of Tier 3.

Loretta leaped into the air.

Without even thinking or looking at the opponent's move, Meng Bai reacted instinctively and quickly rolled to the side. Almost at the same time as she made the dodge, a huge magic arrow crashed to the ground, creating a large crater.

The giant magic arrow missed its target.

Loretta spurred her horse through the air and unleashed a scythe attack, sending several massive and sharp blades hurtling from all directions. Meng Bai had anticipated this attack and accurately predicted its angle and trajectory.

Avoid the attack with minimal movement.

A sword pierced through the layers of blades and struck Loretta.

The Faded One was slippery and difficult to deal with, so Loretta immediately steed backward at high speed. During the retreat, she summoned five magical swords and used the end of her scythe to shoot out a shower of magical gems like scattering fairy flowers.

When faced with the powerful magic sword.

When faced with a large number of Pyroxene Magic Raindrops, like raindrops.

Meng Bai anticipated the attack and dodged most of it. She also took out a large golden shield and activated the exclusive combat skill contained within the shield—Golden Counterattack!

A magical shield emanated from the golden shield.

These radiant swords and sparks struck the golden light, producing a violent impact. Some of them were then bounced back, instantly striking Loretta herself and causing damage.

Mengbai lowered his large shield, wielded his long fangs in both hands, and approached with hound-like agility, delivering a fierce thrust.

The wave-shaped blade, wreathed in red dragon lightning, pierced Loretta's body.

This powerful royal guard knight was immediately severely injured, and her body became much dimmer. The adventurers outside cheered and applauded at the sight.

"Good job!"

Meng Bai has completely figured out Loretta's attack habits and routines. It can be said that you can tell what she's going to do as soon as she bends over, and he can always dodge or block the attack with minimal cost, and then launch a counterattack when the opportunity arises.

One slash, two slashes, three slashes!

Moe Shiro hit Loretta more and more often. Although the latter's magic attacks occasionally injured her, as long as the injury was not fatal, she could use Red Dewdrop to heal in time.

After a total of twenty or thirty rounds of fighting.

Loretta's aura was extremely weak. Although her desire to attack would increase at this stage, she would still resort to the same old moves over and over again.

"Die!" Meng Bai pulled back and unleashed a fire-throwing prayer. The flames struck her chest squarely, and the intense heat instantly enveloped her entire body. The Royal Guard Knight Loretta finally reached her limit and exploded into ashes.

"Won!"

"Xiao Bai is too strong."

"They actually managed to solo kill this guy!"

"..."

After enduring more than ten hardships and tribulations, Meng Bai finally defeated this powerful enemy at the last moment. All the audience members in Miracle City cheered with admiration, and a strong sense of accomplishment and exhilaration enveloped their entire bodies.

Cool!
happy!

This is exactly the kind of battle that gets you excited!

The more painful the beating, the more exhilarating the victory!
This is the charm of the Miracle City Secret Realm, or the Borderland: defeating powerful enemies with varying abilities with relatively weak strength to ultimately achieve legend!
After Mengbai successfully defeated Loretta.

A new blessing appeared in this area, and she summoned Melina here, consuming runes to boost her strength. She then discovered that the area previously shrouded in fog had opened up.

"Mengbai, the master!"

"This should be the core of the castle in Kalia!"

"Yes, time is running out. Let's go in and take a look; I have a feeling there's something good!"

"..."

Meng Bai accepted the suggestion.

As she entered the heart of the castle.

A luxurious treasure chest appeared before them.

Meng Bai was overjoyed. Sure enough, there were good things inside. She immediately stepped forward and opened the treasure chest. Inside, she found three items: a combat skill, combat ash, a magic rune, and an ancient yet magnificent sword.

Battle Ash is a combat technique called "Loretta's Slash".

The magic is "Loretta's Great Bow".

The former is a special combo of slashes, which is powerful but not irreplaceable. The latter, however, caught the eye of all adventurers. Isn't this Loretta's magic bow?
This move is extremely powerful, has a very long range, and can be charged up to increase its power.

Whether at the border or in the real world.

This skill is undoubtedly very useful!
However, although both the war ash and magic are valuable, especially Loretta's Great Bow which is enough to make every adventurer drool, another item attracts the adventurers' attention even more.

【Sword of Night and Fire】(Secret Realm Equipment), Tier 4 Rare Treasure, Exclusive Combat Skill "Stance of Night and Fire"... Description: One of the legendary weapons, a peerless sword collected by the Kalia royal family... The predecessor of the Kalia magicians—the Stargazers—was located on the top of a distant mountain closest to the sky, where, it is said, a fire giant lived.

"Another Tier 4 Rare Treasure!"

"It's a Tier 4 Rare Equipment!"

"Master Mengbai, quickly try out its power!"

The eyes of these adventurers were filled with greed and fanaticism.

The sword has a conservative and classic design. The blade is made of black metal and has a cold, gleaming light. Both sides are engraved with a large number of magical runes.

One of the sides is engraved with a flame-shaped rune.

The other side is inscribed with runes of night and moon.

Each of the two runes contains a powerful force, which the wielder can selectively activate through exclusive combat skills. In other words, this is a weapon with two skills, and the skills it comes with are quite formidable.

Meng Bai took the sword and went outside.

She got into position and activated her weapon's skill.

A shocking scene unfolded: the blade of the Sword of Night and Fire burst into flames, the light illuminating the surrounding darkness for dozens of meters and radiating an intense heat.

"The power of fire is the powerful flame enhanced by the blade!"

Meng Bai brandished his flaming sword, and the flames grew with each stroke, leaving a trail of fire in the air wherever he went, like a fire dragon dancing and roaming.

This buff lasts for a significantly longer time than in the Old Man's Ring game.

Meng Bai slashed four or five times in a row, but the flames did not dissipate. Instead, they burned even more fiercely, and the air crackled and popped, which showed the powerful fire damage they caused.

Using such a weapon to deal with fire-weak monsters like the "Finger Bug" would be extremely convenient!

Meng Bai gradually sensed that the growth of the flames had reached a critical point.

She suddenly swung her sword and unleashed a horizontal slash. All the flames simultaneously detached from the blade, transforming into a giant wave of fire that erupted forth, causing a large area of ​​water to evaporate into steam, eventually enveloping and wrapping around a large tree in front of her.

But in the blink of an eye.

Moisture filled the air and scorched the ground.

The tree had turned into a piece of charcoal.

Meng Bai looked at the ancient yet magnificent sword in her hand with a face full of surprise: "Good, this is truly a fine sword. The power of its fire skill is at least no less than that of a third-tier fire attribute skill!"

Other adventurers were also amazed by this weapon.

The power of this equipment depends on both its grade and the wielder's cultivation and ability. If the Night and Fire Sword were to drop from the secret realm, a peak fifth-tier cultivator like Meng Bai would receive several times the enhancement!
Even for Meng Bai, this would be enough to greatly increase her strength!
Its rarity and value are therefore self-evident!

"Everyone, don't rush. This sword has two powers. I've only tried one so far. We'll try the other one now!"

Meng Bai once again raised his sword and assumed a stance, representing the night and the moon. The runes on it lit up, and countless brilliant blue energies erupted in the void, all of which condensed on the tip of the sword in a very short time.

"This is……"

Meng Bai could clearly sense that the tip of the Night and Fire Sword was currently condensing a terrifying energy, and this energy was extremely unstable and had to be released immediately.

Without thinking too much, she stabbed at the wall in front of her.

next moment.

A burst of energy.

This is the magic of the night, "Night Comet"!
The Sword of Night and Fire unleashed a cylindrical stream of energy, shooting ten or twenty meters away, striking the wall. The wall, previously impervious to blades and axes, rapidly developed numerous dense cracks, eventually breaching a large hole. "So powerful! This attack's range isn't as large as the flames, but its destructive power feels superior!"

"Is this the power of the Night and Fire Sword? No wonder it's a national treasure of Kalia, the effect of this power is absolutely amazing!"

"This is truly eye-opening!"

"This is simply outrageous!"

"I've never seen a weapon imbued with such powerful magic!"

"..."

Adventurers have all given the Sword of Night and Fire high praise!
Meng Bai also fell in love with this sword. After going through difficult exploration and battles, he not only defeated powerful enemies and gained achievements, but also obtained a priceless treasure. This is a truly meaningful and valuable adventure!

I still want to keep playing with this new weapon.

But the dungeon was already closing time.

She had no choice but to reluctantly end the adventure and settle the score.

"I have a Tier 4 Adventurer's Soul, which theoretically gives me a chance to get the Night and Fire Sword. I wonder if I'll have that luck!"

Meng Bai loved adventure in her early years.

And also because of the Prophet Ancient Dragon's innate abilities.

This allows her to fully transform into a human, possessing the true soul of a human adventurer, thus enabling her to flexibly roam between various dungeons at any time, unlike the local natives who are basically bound to only one dungeon.

In Meng Bai's more than 800 years of dragon life, he has frequently gone on adventures for at least 100 years, and has entered and exited several top-tier dungeons of the fifth and sixth tiers. It is not surprising that he has a cultivation level of exactly the fourth tier.

Other adventurers in Miracle City are unaware of this yet.

This seemingly cute and adorable loli-like powerful figure possesses an Adventure Soul cultivation level second only to Cangshanhai and Wanshan Guhong, surpassing even popular powerful figures like Bi'anhua and Mengyinxue.

Meng Bai not only has a fourth-level cultivation level.

Furthermore, it accumulated three abundant marks at the same time.

That's why there's so much anticipation surrounding the "Sword of Night and Fire" that has been revealed.

【The adventure ends! 】

【…】

【You activated the Mark of Plenty! 】

[Adventure Assessment: Under Armor!]

[You have obtained "Loretta's Spirit, the Royal Guard Knight" and "Skill Stone: Loretta's Greatbow"!]

hateful!

It didn't explode!
Meng Bai immediately showed a look of disappointment.

The BOSS in the border area cannot be challenged repeatedly. If you still can't get it this time, unless you completely restart and explore the border area again, it is basically impossible to get the Night and Fire Sword in this round!

The first drop of this sword will most likely fall into the hands of other adventurers.

She was extremely disappointed!
However, upon seeing the two spoils of war produced in this round, Mengbai's disappointment subsided, and she felt a sense of relief.

Needless to say, the spirit of the Royal Guard Knight Loretta is an extremely high-quality Tier 3 rare spirit. Meng Bai can keep it for herself, and it's time for her to switch allegiances and fully join Miracle City as an adventurer.

As for "Loretta's Great Bow".

Mengbai originally thought it would be an extremely rare Tier 3 skill.

But when they saw the skill stone, they realized that the skill, which had been dropped from the secret realm, was actually a fourth-tier ordinary skill.

A fourth-tier skill!

Miracle City is in dire need of resources!

Such a practical and useful fourth-tier common skill, although the skill stone itself may not be as valuable as the top-tier third-tier rare or exotic skill, in the long run, the value it can create will only be greater than the latter two.

Because ordinary skills can be mass-produced directly!

As the first to obtain the skill stone badge, Mengbai unlocked the achievement and gained priority purchasing rights. He can purchase large quantities of this advanced skill from Miracle City, which will allow him to make a fortune.

No Tier 4 rare weapons have been released.

It's not bad that they released a fourth-tier skill.

The loot from this dungeon was decent.

Other adventurers were also very disappointed to learn that the "Sword of Night and Fire" had been revealed to the US.

However, amidst the disappointment, many people were also excited, as the first explosion of this weapon might fall on them.

Feng Zhongmian said, "The Sword of Night and Fire is truly a divine weapon; I feel its origins are far from simple!"

King Black Hammer agreed: "Indeed, the items in the borderlands did not come out of thin air. Almost all of them carry information. The description of this sword is 'The predecessor of the Kalia magicians - the beginning of the stargazers, is located on the top of the most distant mountain closest to the sky, where the fire giant is said to be a neighbor.' This seems to reveal the origin of Kalia."

White Crane Hermit: "Judging from this passage, Caria's ancestors were among the earliest stargazers. They did not live in Lienia, but rather a group that lived in the mountains and had a close relationship with the fire giants. This sword may have been born during that period."

"Fire Giant?"

"I heard that this race lives on the snowy plains on the other side."

"Marika believed they were born with original sin, so she sent Godfrey to wipe them out. It's unknown whether there are any left."

"The history and stories of this border area are truly rich, and there is no one to guide or introduce the plot. All the information is fragmented and scattered among various items and scenes, making it a very unique secret place."

"..."

Amidst everyone's discussion.

Today's adventure has come to an end.

The adventurers immediately rallied together to organize themselves.

The Scourge will continue its territorial expansion mission, seeking to conquer new lands. Today's targets are the Mad Claw Mountains and the Blood Lake Forest, two Tier 3 Dark Territories.

The opponent is a powerful, third-tier dark force.

The adventurers dared not be careless, so they did not invest too many assets and vehicles. As it turned out, this caution was correct, because the attack suffered a great setback.

Thousands of dark elves arrived in the City of Night.

The two major third-tier dark territories suddenly gained several thousand more third-tier combatants.

Because they were well-positioned in strategic locations with various sophisticated fortifications, the Scourge launched several fierce attacks, but despite suffering heavy losses, they ultimately failed to achieve their objectives.

Although the attack was thwarted for the first time.

But this battle was not without significance; at least it made Miracle City realize that Eternal Night City had already entered the fray, which created a sense of crisis in everyone's hearts.

Qi Ji learned of this situation immediately, of course.

He wasn't in a hurry or flustered at all, because it was exactly what he expected.

The fate of Eternal Night City is certain. The entry of several thousand Tier 3 units will indeed cause some trouble, but it is not enough to pose a significant threat to Miracle City. After all, Miracle City currently has four or five hundred mechs in reserve, several hundred Tier 3 adventurers, and even Tier 4 and 5 combatants at its disposal.

within a short period of time.

It won't be easy to take down two Dark Territories.

But the Dark Race could not possibly break into Miracle City.

Of course, Qi Ji did not act rashly or greedily; he simply ordered the Scourge Legion to fight the Dark Race.

Although the Dark Elves also have the ability to resurrect, they can only resurrect in the City of Eternal Night. However, if the souls of the corpses are destroyed in time, these creatures can be completely eliminated.

The Scourge cannot be killed.

It will also not cause much resource consumption.

The cost is very low as long as you don't revive too frequently in a short period of time.

The immediate priority is not a quick victory, but rather to ascertain the situation regarding the intervention of the Night City, while simultaneously weakening and depleting the Dark Elf forces.

Four days have passed in the blink of an eye.

The external fighting situation was extremely intense during these four days.

Although the Scourge failed to capture much of the two Tier 3 territories' home territories, it still inflicted significant damage on them, not only annihilating hundreds of dark elves but also devouring the Tier 1 and Tier 2 forces surrounding the Tier 3 territories.

Miracle Territory has also developed rapidly in these four or five days.

First, the new population was basically absorbed. Second, a teleportation channel to Thousand Lakes City was established and opened. In addition, tens of thousands of Miracle Phones from Miracle City were successfully sold and became a hit in Thousand Lakes City.

Overall.

Regarding external threats.

Although they received a large number of reinforcements.

However, the two dark territories remain passive in the face of the increasingly powerful Miracle City.

Without using his full strength, Qi Ji suppressed the Dark Elves using only the Scourge Army and some of the arsenal's resources. In the course of these few days of battle, he also figured out the size of the Dark Elves.

Judging from the current situation...

It's highly likely that the Eternal Night Dragon King didn't make a move.

This guy should still be in a state of deep seclusion.

Otherwise, it wouldn't just be dark elves appearing near Miracle Territory.

Once Qi Ji confirmed this, he could finally relax and immediately begin preparing for a decisive battle, aiming to completely annex Mad Claw Territory and Blood Lake Territory within two to three days to avoid dragging things out for too long and causing other unforeseen circumstances.

In these four or five days.

The development within Miracle Territory is also progressing rapidly.

Firstly, in terms of population, the total population of the entire territory, including the merchants and tourists attracted, has reached 260,000. Among them, human adventurers are striving to reach 30,000, while the number of alien adventurers in Miracle City has increased to 6,000.

The number of third- and fourth-tier adventurers has increased significantly.

There are currently 758 Tier 3 adventurers in the Contract Miracle City alone, and 10 Tier 4 adventurers, including Cangshanhai, Wanshan Guhong, and Mengbai.

The other two fourth-tier members from Qingshan City also joined Miracle City.

The other increases were all contributed by White Cloud City, which is newly connected to the Miracle Territory.

After all, White Cloud City is a very large city, a super city with millions of adventurers. It is not surprising that it attracted five fourth-tier adventurers who were determined to form a contract with Miracle City.

And emerging adventurers represented by the Red Spider Lily.

We've recently reached the final stretch of our sprint to the fourth tier.

Therefore, it is expected that the number of Tier 4 cities in Miracle City will increase further in the next few days.

Nancy, the hero unit of Miracle Territory, has been training in the Tower of Enlightenment for many days and is now attempting to break through to the fifth tier. With the resource bonuses from the territory, she is expected to complete the breakthrough smoothly soon.

The number and quality of adventurers have both increased dramatically!
This led to a significant increase in the territory's income and production capacity.

With the increased resources produced, the most direct manifestation of this investment in the development of the territory is the rapid improvement of various infrastructure projects. In just four or five days, Miracle Territory has seen the addition of many new facilities.

Today, with the help of Jiang Wentian, it is even more important.

I received another blueprint for the Illusionary Enlightenment Tower.

The territory is about to build its second miracle cinema!
Qi Ji's first fantasy work, "Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace," has been a huge success, with every show sold out and generating enormous revenue in just six or seven days since its release.

The second Tower of Fantasy is about to be released.

Qi Ji plans to release the second Star Wars film.

For adventurers who have already watched the first episode multiple times, new enlightenment realms are provided, allowing them to further comprehend the mysteries of the Force.
