"The Destruction Mountain Range?"
Huan Yu and Bumie Zhanxin both froze for a moment, their expressions turning incomparably grave.
Neither of them was unfamiliar with the name "Destruction Mountain Range." In fact, for all the major superpowers, this name was all too well known.
Among the level-100-plus neutral maps, there was no shortage of forbidden zones. The major superpowers had explored higher-level maps as well — some had even ventured into level 130 to 150 neutral maps.
Yet in every expedition the superpowers had mounted, any elite squad that set foot in the Destruction Mountain Range perished without a single survivor…
That's right!
Not a single person who entered ever came back alive. And the Destruction Mountain Range was merely a level-120-plus neutral map. The players who went in not only failed to return — nobody even knew how they died…
After that, none of the major superpowers attempted it again. After all, any player capable of entering a level-120-plus neutral map was an extremely powerful expert, at minimum at the Flowing Water Realm. If they lost too many, even the superpowers couldn't absorb the blow.
For that reason, the Destruction Mountain Range became an absolute forbidden zone for all major superpowers.
Even now, when players as high as level 118 had emerged among the superpowers, no one dared to enter again.
Bumie Zhanxin asked with an uneasy heart, "Do we really have to go there?"
Top-tier experts were the pillars of a guild. The loss of even one, after a single death, was enough to make any superpower's heart ache. Losing dozens would be an outright nightmare.
"Yes, it's absolutely necessary. It's the prerequisite for everything to succeed," Shi Feng nodded and said firmly.
If he had a choice, he wouldn't go to the Destruction Mountain Range either. But to amass a large amount of resources, the Destruction Mountain Range was currently the only option.
The Destruction Mountain Range was the lowest-level true forbidden zone he could enter at present — requiring only level 120 — and in his previous life, it had been one of the forbidden zones most frequently explored by the major powers.
Though called a forbidden zone, the Destruction Mountain Range wasn't a life-prohibiting zone per se. It was only forbidden for humans.
Inside, humans would face extreme danger, but for non-human creatures, the risk was considerably lower.
Most importantly, the clue to the God-Slayer he had obtained pointed to the Destruction Mountain Range.
Based on his analysis of the map clue and his prior knowledge of the Destruction Mountain Range, there was a strong chance it was one of the treasures left behind by the God-Slayer.
The Earth Meteor Secret Realm!
He had only heard of it in his previous life. Although he didn't know who had opened the Earth Meteor Secret Realm, its appearance had triggered an all-out war among the five great super-guilds — over forty Tier 5 class players had clashed, nearly leveling the outer perimeter of the Destruction Mountain Range.
As for what actually lay inside the Earth Meteor Secret Realm, countless rumors circulated on the outside.
Because shortly after the secret realm appeared, three of the five great super-guilds had completely sealed it off, barring all outsiders. Even their own guild members were forbidden entry — the minimum requirement to get in was Tier 4 core member status.
But one thing was certain.
The Earth Meteor Secret Realm was an extra-dimensional space created by the God-Slayer. Inside, there were vast fortunes and ore veins — magic crystals were so abundant they were everywhere, beyond anything anyone on the outside could imagine.
For that reason, he intended to explore the Earth Meteor Secret Realm.
However, fighting his way in through the Destruction Mountain Range would be no easy task. Even as a Tier 4 class player, it was a tall order. In his previous life, countless Tier 4 players had died in the Destruction Mountain Range — even a massive number of Tier 5 players had perished. It was not a place you could simply waltz into on your own.
That was why he planned to combine the strength of both guilds for the attempt.
"The Destruction Mountain Range is no ordinary place. With the top-tier experts from both our guilds combined — fewer than a hundred people — I'm afraid it won't be nearly enough," Huan Yu suggested. "Why not bring along more Tier 3 players as well? That would give us a greater safety margin."
Every top-tier Tier 3 expert was precious, but ordinary Tier 3 players were far less valuable. If they encountered danger, the ordinary Tier 3 players could be sent ahead to scout. There was no need to risk the top-tier ones and waste the team's fighting power.
This approach was the standard practice for major superpowers when exploring forbidden zones.
"No," Shi Feng shook his head and said with a smile. "It won't just be your two guilds' experts. Other experts will be joining us as well."
