Jiang Kai never expected that his Fearless One would provide such an important clue this time!
While other advanced watches were refining their evaluations and innovating towards accurate assessments, the hints from the Fearless One were always broad and vague.
However, it was precisely because of this rough assessment that Jiang Kai focused his attention on the mirror.
"This is definitely not an ordinary mirror!" Jiang Kai squinted slightly and walked towards the dressing table.
Hu Yan and Ruan Yu followed him.
The banshee continued to admire her own beauty in the mirror, while Jiang Kai leaned in beside her, staring intently at the mirror.
Hu Yan curiously looked at the mirror, "Kai, is there something wrong with this mirror? It looks pretty ordinary to me. What do you think, Ruan Yu?"
Ruan Yu was staring closely at the banshee, occasionally swallowing hard, as if suppressing some impulse, "I think it's unusual..."
Jiang Kai ignored Ruan Yu, squinting his eyes and continuing to stare at the mirror.
In the mirror, he saw himself staring at the mirror, Old Hu, the banshee, and Ruan Yu staring at the banshee.
There was nothing wrong with the furnishings in the wooden house.
Suddenly, Jiang Kai seemed to see the image in the mirror change in an instant.
The whole process might have lasted only a fraction of a second, with the image in the mirror showing only a very subtle change!
"Old Hu, did you see that? Something flashed in the mirror just now!" Jiang Kai said urgently.
"See what? No, I didn't." Old Hu looked puzzled, "You must be seeing things."
"Impossible, I have Ghost Eye!" Jiang Kai said, immediately activating Ghost Eye Focus, consuming mental strength continuously to ensure the effect was more sustained and sharp.
A few minutes later, the image in the mirror showed a slight change again.
In the mirror, it seemed like a word flashed in the banshee's eyes.
"Terror?" Jiang Kai stared intently at the banshee's eyes.
After a while, a second word flashed.
"Horror?"
The third word, "of," the fourth word, "Nest?"
When Jiang Kai suspiciously read out the fourth word, the banshee's eyes suddenly turned to Jiang Kai.
This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
Then, her wide mouth opened slightly, "You have the qualification to enter the Nest of Terror!"
As soon as she finished speaking, all the images in the mirror disappeared, turning into a black vortex that directly sucked Jiang Kai in!
"Kai!" Hu Yan exclaimed, but Jiang Kai had already vanished from the room.
Not long after, Ao Wu arrived, hearing the commotion. He looked around the scene; the Fire God Squad, which always operated with three members, now only had Hu Yan and Ruan Yu.
Jiang Kai was gone!
"Where's Jiang Kai?"
Hu Yan quickly said, "He was sucked into the mirror!"
Ao Wu rushed over to check the mirror, but it had already returned to its original state, and the banshee sat at the dressing table as usual.
She grinned and spoke eerily, "The personal secret realm, Nest of Terror, has been opened. Whether he passes through the realm or not, it will permanently disappear afterward."
"The Mirror of Revelation will display his progress in the Nest of Terror."
As soon as she finished speaking, the image in the mirror began to distort, eventually turning pitch black.
In the upper right corner of the mirror, a set of data appeared.
[Progress: 0/1,000,000, Time: 00 seconds]
"What?" Ao Wu's eyes widened, at a loss for words.
……………………
Jiang Kai felt a strong dizziness, his head almost exploding.
"Damn, what's going on?" Jiang Kai rubbed his head and stood up from the ground.
Luckily, he didn't suffer a concussion, and his mind was still clear.
"I got sucked into that mirror... Where is this?" Jiang Kai surveyed his surroundings.
It was dark all around, with only the dim light of a crescent moon overhead. After a moment, Jiang Kai's eyes adjusted to the environment.
He found himself seemingly in a graveyard, surrounded by tombstones.
A chilling wind blew, sending shivers down his spine.
"Damn, I should have brought some of Ruan Yu's brewed wine." Jiang Kai shook his head.
In the center of the graveyard stood a massive tombstone, about fifteen meters tall, the most conspicuous feature in the graveyard.
Seeing nothing unusual around, Jiang Kai walked over.
Upon closer inspection, he realized it wasn't a tombstone at all, but more like a giant, upright statue.
It depicted a tall woman, standing silently with her eyes slightly closed, wearing a colorful crown, her face stunningly beautiful. Her arms were gracefully extended, her exquisite figure vividly displayed.
Around the giant statue stood four bronze mirrors, each as tall as a person, their surfaces dull and unable to reflect light.
At that moment, Jiang Kai heard the long-awaited system voice.
[Congratulations on entering the secret realm "Nest of Terror" (Low Level). Human fear comes from the unknown. If you can kill all the creatures in the Nest of Terror within thirty minutes, the four Revelation Realms will answer four questions for you, each not exceeding Tier 2 difficulty, to help you overcome your fear.]
[For every 10 minutes exceeded, one question opportunity is reduced, until none remain.]
[Additionally, as long as you complete the realm, regardless of time, you will receive a top-grade artifact of no rank.]
Jiang Kai's eyes widened.
What are the creatures here? Where are they? How many are there?
And there's a time limit?
And in the end, it only answers up to four questions, plus one artifact? That's so stingy!
"Can the Mirror of Revelation answer questions about the Tier 2 class change materials for the Gambler?" Jiang Kai pondered.
[The countdown to the opening of the Nest of Terror secret realm begins, ten, nine...]
Hearing the countdown, Jiang Kai had no time to think further, already grabbing a Tier 1 Quenching Pursuit.
[Two, one... Challenge begins!]
As soon as the system's voice ended, Jiang Kai felt the ground beneath him start to shake.
Countless small tombstones in the distance began to tilt, and the once-quiet graveyard became incredibly restless.
At the same time, a cloud appeared, either by chance or deliberately, covering the moonlight!
The whole world suddenly became even darker.
Jiang Kai immediately attempted to use Quenching Pursuit to illuminate the surroundings with firelight, but he found he couldn't ignite it!
[In this secret realm, the flame effect you use is retained, but the lighting ability is stripped.] The system promptly reminded him.
"What!" Jiang Kai was stunned.
At that moment, the system's previous mention echoed in Jiang Kai's mind: human fear comes from the unknown!
And now, he was in a state where he couldn't see anything!
He couldn't see the enemy, couldn't gauge their strength, couldn't pinpoint their weaknesses, and didn't even know who his enemies were!
The ground shook, and Jiang Kai could barely stand, but what he felt more strongly at this moment was the terror spreading in his heart.
Just then, some eerie sounds came from afar.
Then, more and more sounds echoed from all directions, making the once-quiet graveyard extraordinarily noisy.
Occasionally, some red light clusters flickered, leaving trails of red afterimages in the darkness. With the fleeting afterimages, Jiang Kai saw some vaguely outlined things approaching him.
"Those are their eyes! Could they be zombies or something? I wonder if there's corpse poison..." The pitch-black environment indeed put immense pressure on Jiang Kai.
"No, I can't die here!" Jiang Kai suppressed his inner fear.
"Ghost Eye Focus!"
At that moment, a shadow with a foul stench lunged at Jiang Kai.
At close range, Jiang Kai finally caught sight of the creature!
He immediately threw Quenching Pursuit, shooting straight at the shadow!
