Chapter 270: Chapter 248: Ghastly Realm Exploration Team, Missing One Tank, Hurry Up (Two in One)_3

"Number Two Outpost, Blood Serpent Fruit Tree reclamation mission, Fire Holder ’Luo Jianxing’ leading the team, one spot left, scout class only."

Having read the mission briefing, Perrie knew that tasks involving the Ghastly Realm required team formation. A team had to consist of at least three people, though it could have five, six, or even seven members.

The key lay in the team leader.

Only veteran double-strength Awakeners who’d made significant contributions within the organization and passed the ’General Knowledge of the Ghastly Realm’ course were eligible to form a team and assume the role of captain.

Perrie understood the reason.

She had skimmed through several books the previous day, the one she spent the most time on was the textbook on general knowledge of the Ghastly Realm.

Through this book, she learned of the vast, mysterious, and dangerous nature of Mysterious Evil.

It was also exceedingly difficult to enter the Ghastly Realm.

To explore the Ghastly Realm required an experienced and steady hand to lead, something she was not qualified to do. Even if she could, she wouldn’t dare.

"I mean, there’s just too much information here."

"The captains are at least veteran double-strength, and those of the Dawn’s Flame who are old double-strength..."

Perrie made a small comparison to herself.

Having learned just one heavy strike technique, her combat strength had significantly increased. It was possible that the veteran double-strength members of the organization were not much weaker than she, a triple-strength Awakener.

And there were dozens of such individuals with a mere casual perusal.

It was but a sub-forum within the mission boards.

"Wow, Dawn’s Flame has so many powerful fighters! Awesome! We truly live up to our organization’s reputation!"

"But which mission should I choose?"

"No, the question is, which mission suits me?"

She had achieved her third Awakening, which made her a little proud. She felt that the captain should also be a triple Awakener; only such a team would yield high benefits.

With this in mind, she looked closely.

There was no shortage of teams led by triple Awakeners, yet she had requirements not all teams could meet, and many she couldn’t join.

Pouting, Perrie kept looking.

She soon found a team that seemed quite suitable for her.

"Ghastly Realm exploration team, Fire Holder Shi Yunxi leading, one spot open for a T, interested parties please message privately."

She could certainly be a T!

With some nervous thoughts, Perrie sent her application.

...

Half an hour later, Perrie arrived at Training Area 16 next to the first-floor base within the Secret Realm and met her three teammates.

All of them were girls.

One of them, a woman with the air of a mature lady, approached and extended her hand.

"Hello, my name is Shi Yunxi."

"Y-you hello, I’m Perrie, my Ability is Diamond Body, and I’m, I’m good at frontal assault."

As she spoke, she lifted her other hand to shake hands, and in a moment, it transformed into a stunning diamond.

Both beautiful and hard.

It was a rather enviable ability indeed.

Shi Yunxi shifted her gaze back to Perrie and continued to introduce, "My Ability is water, this is Anna, her Ability is Flame; we’re both ranged attackers."

"And this lady here is Cen Jing, with the Ability Secret Sound; she can hear special sounds between heaven and earth, our team’s scout."

Their mutual understanding ensued.

Both Shi Yunxi and Cen Jing were veterans of Dawn’s Flame, while Anna had been an outstanding graduate of a training camp.

Mainly, it was Perrie whom Shi Yunxi remembered somewhat, realizing she truly did not recognize her.

A name she had never heard before.

But since they were all comrades of Dawn’s Flame, she felt it was not a problem. After a brief harmonization, Shi Yunxi said, "Now that everyone seems to be ready, let’s not delay and set out today."

"I have shared the mission details with you, and now I’ll explain the specifics."

Her time spent in the role of an instructor had made her actions crisp and decisive.

She immediately opened a map and said, "Our mission is not just to explore Mysterious Evil but is purposeful, to head northwest of Outpost Number Two, some tens of kilometers away, to mine Rift Stones there."

"This mission guarantees a minimum contribution reward; besides, based on the quantity of ’Rift Stones’ we collect, we’ll earn additional contributions, uncapped. Moreover, the mysterious materials we collect along the way, once we return, we’ll sell them to the organization and gain a further sum of contributions."

"Overall, this mission is very worthwhile."

She paused, observing that Anna and the others seemed to have absorbed the information well enough, and then continued, "Now, I’ll discuss the precautions for this mission."

"Since it’s our first time venturing far from the outpost, first and foremost, we need ample supplies—cure potions, Energy Recovery Potions, purifying potions, Calming Potions. Each of us must be equipped with over five bottles."

"We also need to take tactical backpacks, torches with sufficient fuel, various life-saving items, etc. No amount of caution is too much when exploring the Ghastly Realm."

"Additionally, I saw a treasure, the ’Teleportation Rune Stone,’ in the exchange list. The exchange price is 500 contribution points, but the rental price is only 10 contribution points."

"The place we are going to is quite far this time. I think we should also rent one. It would be best if we don’t need to use it."

Makes sense.

But wait a minute!

With each sentence Shi Yunxi, the team leader, uttered, Perrie grew paler.

Only then did she realize that there were so many intricacies to exploring the Ghastly Realm, and her diving in without understanding anything was just... too reckless.

She said weakly, "I, I probably can’t do it."

A few minutes later,

After understanding Perrie’s life story and internal struggle, Shi Yunxi and the others exchanged glances.

They looked at each other.

Anna spoke up, "Being specially recruited into the association, that just shows how great you are, Perrie."

Shi Yunxi also nodded, "Although your knowledge is not very abundant, it’s not a big problem. Just follow the command, and honestly, the three of us don’t have much exploration experience either. We are all newbies."

"As for the equipment and potions you’re currently lacking, that’s also no problem. You can front it for now, and we can deduct it from your gains later."

Following Shi Yunxi’s suggestions, with Anna and Cen Jing planning together, Perrie began to change.

She took off the basic student attire and put on a green-level tight combat suit, a white-grade standard jacket, purchased a green knuckle gear, a tactical backpack, and sets of potions.

One could say she was armed to the teeth, albeit at a basic level.

Once she completed the change, Perrie couldn’t help but be excited about her new gear, but it also brought great pressure.

Her, Perrie, on her second day into the association, was already deeply in debt.

...

Once Shi Yunxi and the others had changed, the four-person squad set off toward the No. 2 stronghold entrance in Linshan City.

Their outfits were similar to Perrie’s, only more upscale.

What Shi Yunxi wore was the only Strange Implement ’Silver Scale Battle Armor’ she purchased by spending all she had. Similar to combat attire, it hugged her undergarments and skin, outlining her graceful figure, yet completely concealed by the wide-sleeved robe worn over it.

The robe was a standard issue from Dawn’s Flame, similar in appearance to a spacious windbreaker, with its hem falling to the ankles, and the zipper running down the middle to close the entire coat.

It could also be raised up, so even Awakeners with physical abilities wouldn’t be hindered in combat by wearing this set from Dawn’s Flame.

It also represented the culture of Dawn’s Flame.

On the black base of the robe, the blazing orange Dawn’s Flame was engraved, the flames burning fiercely, and an upside-down sword representing Dawn’s Flame’s resolve to cut through all difficulties.

This is the second uniform to incorporate the emblem of Dawn’s Flame after the Dawn’s Flame cloak.

Men looked mysterious and imposing in it.

Women looked beautiful and cool in it.

Newbie Perrie followed team leader Shi Yunxi all the way to an upscale neighborhood within Linshan City.

Then,

they saw the Ghastly Realm Shuttling Gate hidden inside a villa, emitting a faint orchid-colored glow.

"Is that the Ghastly Realm over there?"

She swallowed hard.

Seeing Perrie a bit nervous, Shi Yunxi took her hand, then signaled for Anna to hold her, while with her other hand, she held Cen Jing’s hand.

The four of them held hands.

As Shi Yunxi stepped through, a fierce pulling force came, and the four were tossed around like in a tumbling washing machine or like riding a roller coaster.

After a tumble through, when light appeared before her, Perrie didn’t stand steady and plopped down on her buttocks.

It didn’t hurt.

Instinctively, she had turned her buttocks to diamond.

A bit dazed, she looked around and saw a large hall about a dozen meters high, sunlight streaming in from outside the windows.

Following the three leaders, Perrie walked out of the stone-built hall to see dilapidated villas and some short grayish-white buildings.

Further in the distance, there were continuous white hills, with people and robot-like creatures moving about, the sound of mining ringing out.

What caught the eye the most was the towering ancient tree tens of meters tall in front of the mines, with green weeping willows swaying gently in the breeze, standing like a guardian deity.

This was the Ghastly Realm, special and mysterious, yet unfamiliar.

But some familiar shouts brought her back to reality.

"Ghastly Realm exploration team seeking one more member, we’re leaving immediately—any takers, hurry up~!"
