Mu Xiaotian noticed that Zhao Ziqi's expression suddenly turned serious.

He asked with concern, "Zhao Ziqi, what's wrong? It's normal to be nervous when you encounter an enemy of this level for the first time."

"That's not the reason."

Zhao Ziqi shook his head, then made no attempt to hide anything and directly stated that he would be entering the S-level secret realm "Ashland" in three days.

Mu Xiaotian and Lü Mingming were extremely surprised and incredulous.

It hasn't been more than 20 days since Zhao Ziqi entered the Secret Realm Stream Fruit Mountain, has it? Encountering an anomaly once is understandable, but twice in a row is just too unlucky.

And the difficulty level is ridiculously high.

Last time it was A+ grade, this time it has been directly upgraded to S grade, the Ashlands!

The mortality rate in S-level secret realms is too high; countless geniuses and extraordinary individuals have perished there.

"Ha...ha..." Red Baron's mocking laughter came from the trunk. Mu Xiaotian slammed on the gas and brakes. After a loud crash, Red Baron groaned weakly in pain.

Zhao Ziqi noticed the change in Mu Xiaotian's gaze and silently labeled her as a 'good teammate'.

"What's the situation with the Ashlands? Lu Mingming, look it up."

"The search is complete. Zero wins so far, 100% death rate. Even the Black Mountain Sect's experts, armed with rare items, failed!" Lu Mingming grew increasingly disheartened, and said, "Zilong, perhaps…"

Lu Mingming felt a headache coming on, so she covered her forehead and placed it on herself or someone else. Of course, she had to skip this kind of difficult secret realm.

The mortality rate is too high, it's terrifying!

What's even more frightening is... Zilong has completed three secret realms so far: one at the highest difficulty, one at A+ level, and this one at S level! If he skips it and the next secret realm becomes S+ level, that would be truly awful.

In comparison, there is still a possibility of clearing the S-rank level.

After listening to Lü Mingming's description of the difficulty of the Ash Lands and the fact that no one has cleared it yet, Mu Xiaotian frowned, and the joy she had just felt after completing the capture vanished.

She racked her brains but couldn't come up with a good solution.

He said, "There are still three days left, don't worry, there must be a way. If it really can't be avoided, I'll go to the commander-in-chief to apply for some extraordinary items! That will definitely help you increase your chances of passing the level."

"Will this work? Extraordinary items are so rare."

"Don't worry, with your talent, the commander will definitely be willing to give it to you!" Lu Mingming said earnestly from the back row.

Then, he gave Zhao Ziqi a detailed introduction of the Chief of Staff.

The head of the Investigation Department, who oversees its seven teams, is named Ye Huowu! A Saint-level Transcendent, her profession is Thousand Wood Spirit Envoy, a superior profession among those who live.

She comes from a family of extraordinary individuals and has access to many resources.

Zhao Ziqi was not surprised by this.

He already knew something about the families of extraordinary individuals; while extraordinary individuals were generally random, there were always exceptions.

First, there is the Invitation to the Extraordinary. Those who receive this invitation can undergo the Extraordinary Trial, and upon completion of the trial, they can embark on the path to becoming an extraordinary being.

Secondly, bloodline inheritance awakening: some extraordinary individuals have naturally powerful bloodlines that are compatible with specific extraordinary professions, and their descendants have a very high probability of becoming extraordinary individuals as well.

Over the long years, through thousands of years of history of extraordinary individuals, only the most powerful families of extraordinary individuals have survived.

The Ye family, to which Ye Huowu belongs, is such a family of extraordinary individuals.

After hearing about the chief's background, upbringing, and straightforward personality, Zhao Ziqi felt a sense of anticipation, but that was all.

Given my personality, I've always believed that having things from my parents is worse than having them from my own.

If you try to get through a difficult time by relying on others, you will eventually be disappointed.

Instead of focusing on other people.

Instead, focus your energy on yourself, carefully consider what trump cards you have, and how to better deal with the Ashes.

Zhao Ziqi thought to himself, "My strength has increased significantly after breaking through two levels."

The Shadow Ability synergizes perfectly with the Secret Guard, especially when combined with Intelligence and the Thunderclap Gun, making it virtually invincible! One strike is all it takes to kill!

Furthermore, they have quite a few trump cards up their sleeves.

The Crown Ring of the Moon and the Flower Goddess Fruit might come in handy at a crucial moment.

Since the matter involves the Balrog Surtur, Zhao Ziqi estimates that the Ashlands are very likely to encounter the Elf Queen again, or encounter situations related to elves or even the Mother Goddess.

It seems.

7 points can be freely allocated to attributes, and 1 point to ability points will be reserved for now. We can make a decision about them after entering the secret realm.

Zhao Ziqi looked ahead. There were still three days left; there was still time to prepare!

……

More than an hour later.

Late at night, at the training ground of the Yujing Division, Commander-in-Chief Ye Huowu was training. She was wearing an orange bodysuit, was extremely young, 175cm tall, with a wheatish complexion, a long ponytail, and white cloth strips wrapped around her fists. With each punch, power was bursting from her arm muscles to her supple waist and round, pert buttocks.

Specially designed load-bearing sandbags were shaken violently; these sandbags are capable of withstanding impacts of hundreds of tons, however…

"What? S-rank?"

When Ye Huowu heard Mu Xiaotian mention that the new team member was going to challenge the S-level secret realm, she lost her grip and couldn't control her strength. The sandbag exploded, causing the entire machine to twist and deform, emitting white smoke and crackling electrical sounds.

She raised an eyebrow and spoke to the woman beside her who looked like a housekeeper.

"Sister Zhang, go and notify the logistics department to send over another piece of equipment!"

"The logistics department said that you have destroyed all five storage units recently, and the latest batch of goods will take at least another week."

"The logistics department is getting stingier and stingier. They only bring in a few machines at a time. Who can use that?" Ye Huowu said, picking up a bottle of water and gulping it down. Her sweat soaked her short-sleeved shirt, and her chest... looked like two round little peaks! Mu Xiaotian was extremely envious.

Mu Xiaotian drawled, "Chief Ye!"

"Alright, sweet little sister, don't worry. With the right strategy, and with your...what...Qilin's abilities, clearing an S-rank secret realm won't be a problem!"

"It's Zhao Ziqi, and... the secret realm is the Land of Ashes, there's no strategy guide at all."

"You mean the Ashlands!" Ye Huowu put down the water bottle in her hand, her eyes instantly becoming serious.

"Yes... Sister Ye, what happened to the Ash Land?"

"The Ash Lands, as far as I know, this secret realm is related to the vanished Flower Goddess. It involves very deep secrets, involves... a very, very ancient existence! The Black Mountain Gate's mission had another purpose; they explored with very powerful artifacts, but they still failed."

Ye Huowu rested her pointed chin on one hand and pondered for a moment before saying, "If it really is the Land of Ashes... Little Sweetie, I advise you to be mentally prepared."

Mu Xiaotian was stunned.

These days, she spends her days with Zhao Ziqi, doing tasks and eating together. She has developed a strong liking for her smart, reliable, and handsome teammate.

She murmured, "How could this be...?"
