Crossing the wilderness to survive, starting with a broken kitchen knife.

It turned out that when Zhang Shi first used Shadow Step, he had left a shadow behind, just in time to deliver a fatal blow. But he hadn't expected the bearded man to have another trick up his sleeve, and even with all his calculations, Zhang Shi still couldn't kill him.

The bearded man kept a distance, then waved his hand. The golden compass spun at high speed and appeared in the air. Several thick fire dragons sprang out from the compass, dividing the battlefield.

"All retreat!"

At the order given by the bearded man, those unruly members of the Eagle Group immediately gave up the attack and turned to retreat in the direction of the compass. A vague portal had appeared just below the compass.

Zhang Shi tried to stop them, but saw another flaming cage rise from beneath him, tightly encircling him. Gritting his teeth, Zhang Shi tried to push through the flames, but the Eagle Regiment's arrows and muskets slowed him down. The two sides distanced themselves, and with no target for his Shadow Step, Zhang Shi could only watch them disappear.

"They must have recognized you. Go back first to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Ge Dalong walked up and pointed at Lao Duan and made a suggestion.

Zhang Shi nodded and gave the order to retreat.

Perhaps because they killed the BOSS, everyone did not encounter any obstacles and left this secret place smoothly.

After returning to the transit station, Zhang Shi left 50 soldiers to guard the teleportation array. The Eagle Regiment had already infiltrated the area, so it was better to be cautious.

As night fell and the rain poured down, everything was normal in the shelter. The soldiers were finishing up their work for the day in an orderly manner. Everything was so well-organized.

Zhang Shi and others went to the research center as soon as they came back, found Gong Yi, took out the [Waste Utilization] skill card from the purple light ball, and handed him a bunch of design drawings.

"You must learn this skill now and try to open this watch!"

Zhao Feng impatiently stuffed Brother Hu's watch into Gong Yi's hand, urging him to learn the skills quickly.

Zhang Shi knew that Zhao Feng was thinking about Brother Hu's mysterious beast transformation skill and wanted to look for clues in the watch, so he nodded to Gong Yi, indicating that he should do as he was told.

Gong Yi, with a hint of anticipation, crushed the skill card. A flash of purple light passed by, and he clearly felt a new knowledge in his mind. He then turned his gaze to the watch, which had ceased to respond with the death of its host. The moment his finger touched it, his mind moved, and the watch's system space opened up. A large number of props and supplies appeared out of thin air, piled on the ground like a small mountain.

What surprised Zhang Shi was that the light ball loaded with the skill card did not disappear, and was still flashing with a faint purple halo, looking extremely mysterious.

"As expected of a small boss, this backpack is as big as a small warehouse."

Zhao Feng excitedly went into the pile of supplies and checked them one by one, hoping to find some clues about beast transformation. When he fought against Brother Tiger that day, the big tiger he transformed into had very high attributes, which made Zhao Feng suffer a little. If he could get the beast transformation ability, it would be another big improvement for him.

Zhang Shi ignored him and took out all the watches he had collected in the past few days and handed them to Gong Yi. He then called Lao Bai and asked him to send someone to classify and preserve the materials in the watches, and collect some high-value resources separately and hand them over to him for review.

Zhao Feng went through all of Brother Hu's private collection and found no clues about beast transformation. He guessed that the beast transformation ability should have been obtained in the form of a skill card, and no trace of it disappeared after Brother Hu used it.

However, while searching, Zhao Feng made another unexpected discovery. Inside an iron box, four green orbs of light were quietly gleaming with a faint green light. They looked similar to the purple orbs that the Mandrill King had released.

Zhang Shi examined the four green light balls one by one, but did not find any useful information. He still didn't know what the function of these light balls was.

"At least we can infer that the people from the Dragon and Tiger Alliance should have explored the secret realm of white fog. These four light balls should have been exploded by four exquisite-level monsters."

Ge Dalong reasoned for a while, then pondered for a while and added.

"No light ball exploded when we eliminated the mandrill leader. If this light ball exploded by chance, they probably killed more than four exquisite monsters. The Dragon Tiger Alliance's exploration of this secret realm is obviously much deeper than ours."

Zhang Shi nodded and made a decision immediately.

"Didn't the Eagle Group say the boss wouldn't respawn for three days? We'll go again in three days and secure the boss. If the Eagle Group dares to cause trouble, we'll beat them up again."

……

At the same time, in the Eagle Group’s headquarters, Bell’s castle.

The bearded man sat in front of Bell and was reporting on today's situation.

"A group of forces suddenly appeared in the secret realm. When we arrived, they had already killed the boss. There were about 150 of them, all equipped with green armor and equipped with muskets and cannons. The leader was a very powerful man holding a kitchen knife. We later speculated based on the information he received that he was most likely Zhang Shi."

Hearing the word Zhang Shi, Bell's eyes suddenly became extremely cold. He had suffered too much at the hands of Zhang Shi, and this time Zhang Shi ruined everything again, which made him furious.

He stood up, walked around the table and walked coldly to the bearded man. Just as the bearded man was about to stand up, Bell pushed him down on the chair.

Bell's eyes were sharp, as if he wanted to eat the person in front of him alive.

"I've expended a tremendous amount of resources and favors on your behalf to improve your abilities. Why do you always fail me at the crucial moment?"

Cold sweat appeared on the bearded man's forehead, his heart beat faster, his breathing became rapid, and he stared at Bell with wide eyes, feeling more nervous than when he was fighting for life and death in the secret realm.

Seeing this, Bell shook his head in disdain and asked.

"From which direction did they enter the secret realm?"

The bearded man swallowed and answered quickly.

"We're heading in the same direction. I suspect this is the clue given by the group we encountered last time."

"You didn't silence them?"

"They were all killed, not a single one was left. But it seems that not all of the group came in. They must have leaked the news."

Bell sighed and muttered.

"The Dragon Tiger Alliance and the Brotherhood have joined forces to retaliate against our various chapters. They've also spread the coordinates of the castle. We're surrounded by enemies on all sides."

"Notify all members in all locations to keep a low profile and wait until the current situation has subsided before taking action. As for Zhang Shi, the boss will spawn in three days, so he'll likely be back. I'll meet him in person."
