The second was Ruan Fei. The other was Ruan Xing's wife, Yao Feng. The three of them were only level two, but they were the founders of a small family-like guild.

A single drop of water was enough to repay a debt of gratitude, much less a life saving favor!

Since he had promised to repay Jiang Hongtao back, he would not go back on his words. After robbing Jiang Hongtao, Yun Tu's current financial resources could be said to be incomparable to his, so any small amount of stuff could be enough to surprise this family.

To prevent himself from revealing too much of his wealth, he only took out three third-level blood crystals and offered them up with both hands.

Even though Yun Tu had considered taking out three Level 3 Blood Crystals, upon seeing such a gift, the Ruan Family were still surprised. They quickly waved their hands and said, "It's nothing. How can you be so generous?"

"You are all my saviors, and a small thing like this doesn't respect you. No matter what, you can't take it!"

With Yun Tu's repeated requests, the last sister-in-law reluctantly accepted it and smiled, "Looks like today's adventure and entering the secret realm was the right decision. Finally, we've met our great benefactor, and with these three blood crystals of yours as well as some of our savings from before, we can go to the pharmacist of Qi Feng Society and exchange for a bottle of level-three elixir. At that time, our Ruan family will have a rank 3 master, and we won't be bullied anymore!"

Yun Tu was surprised that he could meet such an honest man in this post-apocalyptic world! When the other party once again asked about his guild, he did not hide anything and said that he was just an outsider passing by.

After finding out about Yun Tu's identity as a foreigner, Wang Lin was very surprised, but he didn't say anything. He just said that a small family name like theirs was pretty much the same in Qi County.

The apocalypse had come, but the situation had not changed. On the contrary, it was getting worse, so even though the family was only at the second rank, they were still pretty good, but their days were not going well.

If not for the chaos caused by the disintegration of the Blood Legion, a small guild like themselves would have been stuck outside the Secret Realm Gate.

Because of the matter of saving others, the three of them took up some time, so after receiving the gifts from Yun Tu, they left once more.

Although they had never entered this secret realm before, they were still people from Qi County. This time, they had made ample preparations when they entered the secret realm, and now that they had tools like sled, they naturally had long bought maps and guides. With a companion, Yun Tu would follow them as they walked along the road, gradually gaining a better understanding of this secret realm.

Following the directions given by the map, the group traversed ten kilometers through the desert, arriving at an even more desolate desert. After traversing a few kilometers, they entered a stone forest. They then discovered a large number of dilapidated buildings.

Here, they encountered many other teams rushing over from all directions.

As long as they were willing to pay the entrance fee, they would be able to enter regardless of whether the big guilds or the small ones. Therefore, there were twenty or thirty groups of people that had come this time, and Ruan's group had been delayed for a while because they were on the way to save Yun Tu. In addition, Yun Tu did not have his own sled, so they were considered the last group that came, but luckily, the big BOSS had not appeared, so Ruan's family still had one last chance.

After talking to each other along the way, Yun Tu had a good impression of the Ruan family. Therefore, he made up his mind that this time, he would do his best to help the Ruan family get the mission prize. As for his own problems, he planned to do it again after the secret realm entered into a period of hibernation.

The area of the ruins was very large, but the place that was called the Hall of Blood and Tiger was only the largest dilapidated hall.

This secret realm had a special place. Before the big BOSS came out, there would be 100 monsters appearing from the abandoned buildings around the Blood Tiger Hall. Before these monsters were killed, the big BOSS in the hall would not appear.

Right now, everyone was hunting small beasts and monsters everywhere outside the Blood Tiger Hall. The place was bustling with noise. Not long after that, Yun Tu and the Ruan Family also discovered a small beast.

Although it was a small beast, it was actually close to the strength of a rank 3 beast. The Ruan clan naturally had to muster up their energy to deal with it, but with the attack of Yun Tu, the small beast fell down.

According to the original agreement, all the rewards from the Cloud Diagram belonged to the Ruan Family!

Therefore, Ruan Xing said goodbye to Yun Tu and took the corpse. Then, he took a deep breath and shouted like he was giving a report, "Ruan Brothers, kill a little beast, please record it!"

After discovering that the little beast had not perished, they also loudly shouted, "Well done, the Ruan Brothers have completed one mission. Killing one more beast will give them the qualification to participate in the battle for the BOSS, and the one hundred beasts have killed ninety-four of them!"

Not long after, ninety-five, ninety-six, and ninety-seven small beasts appeared, and they were quickly killed by the other teams. At least one small beast had to be killed to qualify to fight for the quest BOSS, but there weren't many small beasts left, and the competition had reached its climax. When the ninety-eighth small beast appeared, almost a dozen people surrounded it, but because it was too far away, Yun Tu was killed before he could make it in time.

"There's only the last little beast left. Brother, please!"

The competition was too intense. The Ruan Brothers' rank 2 strength could only be considered average amongst these people. Therefore, they could only rely on Yun Tu to get the final qualification. Therefore, they also had an anxious face.

Yun Tu still didn't understand the rules of the game too well. He asked in puzzlement, "100 heads for 98, there's still another 2, right?"

Ruan Xing explained again, "The last little beast needs to be captured alive. We can only kill it after everything is settled, so it can't be counted!"

At this moment, the ninety-ninth little beast came out again. More than ten people quickly surrounded it, and without caring about anything else, Yun Tu charged over and knocked away the few people beside him. Then, he shouted, "This is mine, no one else can snatch it from me!"

Perhaps those people had long since gained the qualifications, or perhaps they were a bit afraid of his ruthlessness. The dozen or so people madly slashed a few times, and all of them retreated to the side.

Facing a small beast that was already severely injured, he had only used two moves to push the dagger into its chest.

At this time, the last small beast followed right behind it. Dozens of people rushed up. They didn't use their swords or sabers, but simply threw out a long rope to capture it alive!

The slaughter of the small animals was over!

Not long after, everyone entered the Hall of Blood and Tiger Hall. At this time, an imposing middle-aged man in his thirties said, "I am Ni Zhangyuan from the Qi Feng Society and am in charge of managing this mission in the secret realm. However, I will not participate in the final quest, the BOSS battle.

As soon as he finished speaking, people immediately came forward to count the number of people. Minutes later, they loudly counted: "Up until now, there have been a total of fifty-eight people, each from a total of twenty-one teams. Among them, twelve teams have won the qualification to fight for the BOSS!"

Then, the team that did not have the qualifications to compete took their own initiative to retreat to the side.

Because Yun Tu did not understand the rules, he could only look at the Ruan brothers again. At this time, the Ruan brothers stood up and reported to the host: "This Brother Yun Tu ran into danger on the way here. We saved him, so he can only be considered as a subordinate!"

The host looked at Yun Tu and confirmed what he said before agreeing with the Ruan Brothers.

"The rules here are pretty good. Who thought of this idea?" Yun Tu asked.

Ruan Xing laughed as he replied in a low voice, "Before the Crimson Corps came, this was how the secret realm was managed. Later on, the Crimson Corps came, and all the rules were broken, but now, the Qi Feng Society is in charge of the overall situation, and in order to win over the hearts of the people, they came up with this rule. But I think that after a while, when the situation is set, it will be very difficult for us small and middle-sized guilds to enter this secret realm!"

Ruan Xing's words were, of course, understood by Cloud Diagram. Since the Qi Feng Society was the most powerful organization now, their current plan was just to win over the hearts and minds of everyone.

However, these weren't what he was worried about. He was only concerned about the situation, so he asked: "There are still twelve teams left. After killing the BOSS, the rewards won't be enough!"

This secret realm basically has six mission rewards every time, and of course we have to eliminate the other teams, but after that, the bidding time, every team can freely bid, spend money to buy other teams to withdraw, and can get the qualification to compete in this competition. If we don't want to participate, then even if we quit, we can still gain a little bit of rewards.

Ruan Fei's reply once again surprised Yun Tu. Class Scrolls were too expensive. It seemed like no matter what the rules were, the members of the small guilds wouldn't have much of a chance!

A skinny man with a moustache walked to the center of the hall and said in a clear voice, "I am from Le Mountain Guild, we have decided to participate in the fight to obtain the BOSS. Two Level 2 blood crystals, whoever is willing to quit will come over and claim the money!"

"Shh, scram!"

A burst of cold laughter came from the surroundings. Two level two blood crystals was just the right amount of money. Since they had fought their way to this point and offered this price, they naturally wouldn't accept it.

The moustache man's face was completely red as he asked, "How much money do you think is appropriate for this?"

At this time, a young man with a white face stood up and threw out three Level 2 Blood Crystals. He said with disdain, "Little Beard, your team doesn't have a single Level 3 Expert and the Quest Boss is a Level 4 Blood Tiger. You guys can only remain as cannon fodder and take three pieces of Level 2 Blood Crystals and get lost!"

"Thank you, young master Jiang! Thank you, Fire Wind Gang!"

His goal was also similar to the Ruan Brothers, but he just wanted to make an example of them. For the real mission, teams without Level 3 experts were way too weak, so he picked up three Blood Crystals from the ground and quickly retreated into the crowd with his two lackeys.

Yun Tu began to understand the rules of the game!
