I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

Under Deng Ye's persuasion, some people evaluated their own abilities and were willing to wait, and of course there were also those who were skilled and courageous.

For example, the top three teams from the martial arts competition finals that ended not long ago are among them. These three teams have won the right to develop the secret realm in the competition, and they came here to draw lots.

They joined the pest control operation right after the competition. They had just completed their domestic mission yesterday and were about to go abroad to continue their mission. They took advantage of the break to come to Laurel City to do some work.

It is also because they are all graduates of the Psychic Academy and have two opportunities to use the teleportation array for free every year, so they come to draw lots on behalf of their respective teams.

I just happened to come across this scene.

They are confident that they have the ability to explore new secret realms. Since they have encountered it, it is an opportunity, and opportunities must be seized firmly.

They had previously participated in the competition to fight for the right to develop secret realms, and the secret realms they had fought for were all secret realms that the association had explored. This time, however, it was newly opened! Even though Deng Ye's words were also for their consideration, now that they had encountered a new secret realm, they didn't want to miss it.

Seeing that most people chose to listen to advice, Deng Ye was not happy.

Because the small number of people who insisted on entering were the elites among the awakened people of Xia Country, and if anything happened it would be a huge loss.

After Deng Ye tried to persuade the other party again and they still insisted, he had no choice but to let them in.

He can use reason to persuade, but he has no power to stop the other party.

More than twenty people entered the secret passage under the watchful eyes of the association's staff.

The rest who were willing to wait were sent away after registering.

Afterwards, some of the people who came with Deng Ye were arranged by him to enter the secret realm. Their focus was to explore the general situation inside the secret realm and bring it back for follow-up arrangements.

The other part began to build a temporary stronghold, and the secret passage had to be protected as soon as possible.

Time passed day by day, but no one came out.

Deng Ye reported the matter of the new secret realm to the headquarters immediately, and the headquarters is also keeping an eye on the follow-up.

A week has passed and there has been no follow-up.

Deng Ye, who had already returned to the Laurel City branch, became increasingly anxious. His words seemed to have come true. There might be a dangerous place on the other side of the passage!

Finally, after waiting for ten days, the headquarters issued instructions, asking Laurel City to arrange for a rescue team to enter.

Deng Ye sent a 15-person rescue team, fully armed, into the secret realm. Considering the extreme environments they might encounter (extreme heat, extreme cold, sea, etc.), the team was well prepared.

But another week passed and the rescue team was also trapped.

The situation went from complicated to serious.

The atmosphere in the Laurel City branch was solemn. Deng Ye, under pressure, sent out a second rescue team of 20 people.

Once again, there is no return.

Almost a month had passed, and no useful information had been obtained. The headquarters had to divert their attention from the pest control operation to this side.

In late December, headquarters decided to send people into the secret realm again.

But this time only four team members were arranged, and their task was to bring back as much news as possible from the other side. They did not need to rescue anyone who had entered before, they only needed to bring back the information from there.

The four people received orders and entered the secret realm.

To this day, no one has returned.

Deng Ye frowned, staring at the secret passage in front of him that was emitting faint ripples but seemed to have transformed into a huge mouth of the abyss, without moving.

"Minister, the fourth rescue team is on standby. Should we notify them to come over?" asked one of the people who came with Deng Ye.

Deng Ye's body shook slightly and he turned to look at the other person.

"Need not!"

"But at headquarters..."

"The problem in this secret realm cannot be solved by just gathering numbers. There must be something strange on the other side." Deng Ye said in a low voice.

It sounded like he was replying to the employee, but more like he was talking to himself.

Seeing him like this, the people around him stopped talking and waited in silence.

Deng Ye was under a lot of pressure. After all, this incident started because the branch supervision was not in place, which led to the entrance to a secret realm being exposed to everyone without any preparation.

The mistake was not made by Deng Ye, but as the branch director, he certainly bears some responsibility.

After a moment of silence, Deng Ye raised his hand and stroked his hair.

"Don't worry about headquarters. From now on, no one is allowed to enter without my permission!"

Thinking of the person who was coordinating this matter with him at the headquarters, Deng Ye felt even worse.

He called out the light screen of his watch and called Jiang Qizhang.

The problems here are no longer something he can resolve, and he can no longer be led by that person.

He will take responsibility for his actions later, but the most important thing now is to find a solution.

······

Blue Star, Country N.

Su Mo had just finished drinking juice with Bai Bai and was about to return to the space to organize the experience of converting martial arts that she had recorded sporadically over the past few days, when the call reminder on her watch suddenly rang.

It’s Jiang Qizhang.

"President?" Su Mo answered.

"Xiao Su, are you still in Country N?"

"Yes." Su Mo answered simply. She did not rush to tell the other party that she had decided to return home tomorrow.

"You should come back first. There is a problem on the moon." Jiang Qi Zhang said in a low voice.

"What's wrong?" Su Mo asked in confusion.

There was a sigh from the other side.

"About a newly opened secret realm..."

Jiang Qi Zhang informed Su Mo of the general situation.

"There are already over 80 people trapped there, and no one knows whether they are dead or alive. Please temporarily suspend the pest control operation. I would like to invite you to visit that secret place."

Su Mo: "..."

"Xiao Su, Uncle Jiang knows that this matter is somewhat dangerous, but at the moment, Uncle Jiang can't think of anyone else except you. Only you are capable of dealing with the unknown situation over there." Jiang Qi Zhang said slowly.

"I'll go back and take a look first." Su Mo neither agreed nor refused.

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the old campus of the college."

"Row."

I was planning to go back to the military to deliver the goods tomorrow, but it looks like I'll be delayed.

After Su Mo set up the flying boat, he walked back to the living room sofa, sat down, opened his notes, and began to organize them.

This time she only brought Baibai with her, and left the big black ball abroad, allowing the big black ball to move freely with the army of reptiles to avoid humans and avoid conflicts.

After Su Mo cleared the border area of ​​Xia Country, the danger level has dropped significantly, and many domestic and foreign hunting teams are operating in it.

The big black ball looked down on such a place, so it turned around and led the army of reptiles further inland.

In the sky above, a flying boat cut through the horizon and headed towards the capital.

······

Capital city, the old campus of the Psychic Academy.

The flying boat went straight through the defensive barrier and landed on the playground of the old campus.

Su Mo asked Bai Bai to return to the space. She walked to the tall venue No. 1 and met Jiang Qi Zhang who was already waiting there.

After a brief greeting, Jiang Qizhang said, "This is urgent. Let's go right away."

Su Mo nodded.

Next to the teleportation array, the association staff paid the fare.

A group of five people are about to arrive at the Moon Campus.

On the way back, Su Mo received a more detailed situation report from the association.

In addition to what Jiang Qizhang said, she also saw the list of trapped people.

I really don't know what to say. Half of them are college graduates, and most of them are the top ten talents of Xia Country in the martial arts competition.

They are all fearless people who only want to open up new secret realms to make money, and they lack awe for the unknown of the secret realms.

But things had already happened, and the association didn't want to lose so many talents, so in order to rescue them, it sent people in again and again.

The result is no result.

Yin Liu and Cao Duoduo, whom she favored, were among them, as well as Zhao Huan, with whom she had dealt with at the Laurel City branch.

Su Mo also wanted to sigh.

She had guessed what the situation was like in the secret realm.

Perhaps it was an ocean devoid of islands? And the exit to the secret realm was within the ocean? In this case, even if someone entered with a boat, finding their way out wouldn't be easy.

Could it be, like the secret desert realm in Country J, an extreme environment coupled with some kind of sealing force? In this case, even if someone entered wearing specialized combat uniforms to ensure their survival, they might not be able to break the seal and find the exit.

Another possibility is the three great forbidden areas in Suzhou.

Su Mo had personally experienced the Endless Thunder Realm, one of the three Jedi, but the Endless Thunder Realm was a lit map located on Jupiter's moon, not this one.

But the battlefield of gods and demons and the abyss of immortal burial are no simpler than the endless thunder domain just by hearing their names. If those people go to these two desolate places, they will only die.

There are too many possibilities, but apart from Jedi, Su Mo is still sure.

Now that Jiang Qi Zhang’s intentions were clear, Su Mo also wanted to go over and take a look.

However, she won't go there by herself.

Lunar Psychic Academy, long-distance teleportation array.

After a fluctuation, Su Mo and the other four appeared on the formation plate.

"headmaster!"

"President Jiang."

The staff on guard nearby were surprised to see that it was Su Mo, as it was rare for them to see the principal.

Su Mo nodded and walked out first. She already had an idea in her mind and seemed much calmer.

Looking at Jiang Qizhang walking beside her, she casually asked, "President, Zerg ash can be used as fertilizer. Does the official know about this?"

Jiang Qizhang didn't stop and nodded.

“It was determined years ago.”

"Then why don't so many Zerg on Blue Star burn them?"

Several people walked to another small teleportation array and transferred to the academy gate.

Su Mo stopped, and the others stopped as well.

Jiang Qi Zhang looked at her with complicated eyes.

"We tried it, but the results we got weren't that good."

In fact, it had only a little effect, which was completely inferior to what Su Mo had burned. It was not cost-effective to spend so much effort to burn the Zerg for such ashes, so no one mentioned it afterwards.

Su Mo: "..."

Her fireball technique contained the blessing of red flames. Could it be because of this? She was so used to using heavenly fire that she often ignored the opponent's heavenly fire!

She didn't continue the topic, and fortunately Jiang Qizhang didn't intend to ask any further questions.

"President, I can promise you this trip, but is it okay for you to bring someone along?"

"Okay, who do you want to bring? Your teacher?" Jiang Qi Zhang asked.

"Well, the situation over there is unknown, so bring a local."

Jiang Qi Zhang knew that Yuan Qi's strength was superior to Su Mo's, otherwise Su Mo would not have become his disciple. He would most likely become Su Mo's employee, like Wen Song and others.

Knowing that there were powerful people with him, of course he agreed.

"Yes, it would be better if it were a little safer."

Su Mo nodded and continued, "Everything about this rescue is unknown. I'm betting I can handle it. If the rescue is unsuccessful in the end, I hope the association will understand."

Jiang Qi Zhang was about to speak when he tried to comfort her as usual.

Su Mo raised his hand to stop him and continued, "If I'm lucky enough to bring the person back, I hope I can ask for the reward myself. Of course, I won't ask for more than the value of the secret realm."

Jiang Qizhang "..."

His heart was pounding.

How could he not agree? Others had risked their lives to get there. If even Su Mo couldn't handle this secret realm, then this secret realm would be useless and could only serve as a "power bank" for extracting spiritual energy.

Besides, Su Mo's request was based on rescuing people. If he could rescue even half of them, that would be good.

Jiang Qi Zhang hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

"Okay, I agree to your request."

"I've already had some equipment and supplies prepared here. You can take them with you in case of emergency."

"Let's go, the car outside has arrived, let's go first."

Su Mo waved his hand.

"President, please go ahead. I still need to prepare."

Jiang Qizhang sighed.

"Okay, we'll wait for you in the secret place."

······

After watching the people from the association leave, Su Mo turned around and appeared in the hall on the first floor of the Teaching Tower.

The reason she dared to agree to the association to take the risk of going to an unknown secret realm was because she had received the news that Yuan Qi had come out of seclusion. Being able to bring along a Nascent Soul expert who was familiar with the situation in Suzhou, the level of danger would drop sharply.

He walked towards the second floor.

If she hadn't come with Jiang Qizhang this time, she would have returned directly through the Teaching Tower, which would have saved her a lot of trouble.

At the door of Yuanqi’s exclusive classroom.

Before Su Mo knocked on the door, the classroom door opened.

She saw someone sitting at the only desk in the classroom, writing something.

Even if Yuan Qi did not deliberately release his spiritual sense to shield his surroundings, on Blue Star, no one's spiritual sense or mental power could get close to him within a certain range, otherwise they would be discovered.

Su Mo naturally wouldn't do anything so rude and didn't try to peek at what the other person was writing.

Walk over to the opposite side of the table and sit down obediently.

"I heard that you went back to your hometown and are still very busy? How long has it been since you practiced alchemy?" Yuan Qi asked without raising his head.

Su Mo's body stiffened.

"Master, you know my skills are not good. Well, I am concentrating on practicing my fire control ability."

"Oh? Show me something."

The other party said this, but continued writing. Su Mo didn't dare to say anything.

Just follow the hand gestures you have learned and perform them one by one.

The flame was not big, jumping in front of her. As the hand gestures changed, the fire began to grow and shrink, sometimes fast and violent, sometimes steady...

After demonstrating all the hand gestures, Yuan Qi finally said, "Hmm."

Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief and the flames disappeared.

"Master, you don't have any plans for the next few days, right?" she asked first.

"Do you have any plans?"

"Can you go out with me these days?"

"What?" Yuan Qi was curious this time and looked up.

His hand left the pen, and the pen continued to shake and write on its own.
