Unreliable Sword Immortal.

Chapter 55 This Niu Daren is not normal

A smile that looked more like a grimace appeared on Niu Daren's face. He said, "So it's Junior Brother Lu Chaoding. Are you sure you want to go to the second level of the Heavenly Dog Secret Realm?"

Are you sure?

"Alright, come with me!"

Niu Daren stomped his foot, and the Dog Tooth Cave dungeon transformed into the Heavenly Dog Secret Realm once again. He looked grief-stricken and seemed to be very unwilling to enter the Heavenly Dog Secret Realm.

Lu Chao looked intently at Niu Daren, and seeing his strange behavior, he couldn't help but feel suspicious. He asked directly, "Senior Brother, are you actually playing a character? Why are you acting so reluctantly?"

Niu Daren said, "What do you mean by 'reluctantly'? Junior brother, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

"You really don't understand?"

"Don't you understand what?" Niu Daren looked bewildered. He waved his hand and continued, "Junior Brother Lu Chaoding, the Heavenly Dog Secret Realm is just ahead. The first level has already been explored. I'll take you to the second level. The second level has a ley line formation set up by the Supreme Elder. This formation is crucial for suppressing the Fiery Heavenly Dog; it's extremely important. If it's destroyed, the Fiery Heavenly Dog will escape. Therefore, the second level of the Heavenly Dog Secret Realm is a strategic location, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter. Only I, being highly regarded by the Sect Leader, can bring people in. However, Junior Brother Lu Chaoding, I must tell you that once you enter the second level of this secret realm, you can only observe. Don't wander around. If you damage the formation, our sins will be immense."

"If it's only for viewing, then what's the point of me going in?"

As Lu Chaoding said this, he carefully observed Niu Daren's subtle expressions. He really suspected that this guy was a real person pretending to be stupid.

Niu Daren asked expressionlessly, "Junior Brother, aren't you planning to enter the second level of the secret realm?"

"No, let's go in!" Lu Chao retorted. "Senior Brother, we're bored anyway, how about we play a game?"

"What game?"

"It's just me saying what I say, and you repeating what I say. Simple, right?"

"What do you want me to repeat?"

"It goes like this: Eight hundred standard-bearers ran up the north slope, artillerymen lined up and ran to the north side, the artillerymen were afraid of bumping into the standard-bearers, and the standard-bearers were afraid of bumping into the artillerymen's cannons! Try repeating it?"

Niu Daren looked bewildered and asked, "What? What the hell did they run off to?"

"Hahahaha!" Lu Chao laughed loudly, "You've been exposed! If you weren't the real person, you could definitely recite such a simple tongue twister fluently in one breath!"

"What did you say? What are you running around for? Junior brother, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand you at all?"

"Keep pretending!" Lu Chaoding said again, "Or should I ask you a few more questions?"

Niu Daren said innocently, "Go ahead and ask!"

Lu Chao suddenly shouted, "Please answer! What is 123456 multiplied by 245?"

"What does it matter to me how much love equals...?"

Niu Daren shrugged and said, "Junior Brother Lu Chaoding, you're acting strange! Are you still going to the second level of the secret realm?"

"go!"

Lu Chao narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself that even if Niu Daren wasn't a real person playing the role, he must be a high-level AI. In any case, something was wrong with him.

"What if the game administrators find out I'm cheating, so they send someone to investigate as an NPC? If they find evidence of the occasional unreliable system issues, will they ban my account?"

Lu Chaoding was still a little flustered.

Next, Niu Daren led the way, occasionally mentioning the Supreme Elder's suppression of the Fiery Heavenly Dog. Before they knew it, the two had arrived at the entrance to the second level of the Heavenly Dog Secret Realm.

"Junior Brother Lu Chao, the second level of the Heavenly Dog Secret Realm is just ahead. Stay close to me!"

As Niu Daren spoke, he stepped into the passage ahead, and the light curtain blocking his way shattered immediately. Lu Chaoding quickly followed.

Next was a staircase passage about 100 meters long. After passing through it, Lu Chaoding's eyes lit up. He had arrived at a spacious stone chamber.

In the center of the stone chamber floated a great sword, which was enveloped in raging flames. The flames were estimated to be ten feet thick, and countless complex golden tadpole-shaped runes floated within them, giving it a sense of sophistication and fantasy.

Lu Chaoding suddenly frowned.

He saw that there was actually a person standing under the flaming greatsword.

The man was thin and small, wearing a fish-scale patterned leather armor, a leather head covering, and carrying a hoe on his back.

His attribute information is all question marks.

But this is clearly an NPC.

Upon seeing Lu Chaoding and Niu Daren, the NPC's eyes gleamed. He suddenly clasped his hands in a fist salute to Niu Daren, who was walking at the front, and proclaimed loudly, "Clang clang clang, clang clang clang, clang clang clang, clang clang clang!"

"what?"

Niu Daren looked completely bewildered.

Lu Chaoding was also confused, but he quickly received a system notification: "Ding, a special event has been triggered. A mysterious person has appeared in the Heavenly Dog Secret Realm and is waiting for the entrant to say a secret code. If the correct secret code is said, the identity of the mysterious person can be learned and an important plot item can be obtained. If the wrong code is said, the mysterious person will attack the earth vein array once. If the code is wrong four times in a row, the earth vein array will be completely destroyed."

"Ding! The occasionally unreliable system has been activated, updating the tracking mission and altering its content: If you say the correct secret code, you will receive an important plot item; if you say the wrong code, you will learn the identity of the mysterious person, and the mysterious person will attack the ley line array. If you say the wrong code four times in a row, the ley line array will be completely destroyed."

Upon hearing the system notification, Lu Chaoding immediately recalled the posts about Niu Daren's storyline that he had seen on the forum before.

"According to the post, Niu Daren's identity as a Golden Sword Sect undercover agent would be exposed here. Could it be that he has given the coded message?"

Lu Chaoding thought of this and looked at Niu Daren.

Niu Daren stood there dumbfounded. When he saw Lu Chao looking over, he quickly asked, "Junior Brother, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Senior brother, don't you know the code?"

Niu Daren scratched his head, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Should I know?"

Lu Chao was taken aback and said, "You should know that!"

Niu Daren shrugged: "But I really don't know!"

"Damn, senior brother, you're so unreliable!"

Lu Chao thought to himself that Niu Daren was indeed acting strangely. According to the altered mission, it would be best to reveal the correct code at this time. After thinking for a moment, he quickly opened the Tianxing Forum window and searched for the keywords "Tiangou Secret Realm" and "mysterious person".

"Hehe, in the internet age, don't you know how to search online?"

Lu Chao smiled and felt quite confident.

There are already many posts on the Tianxing Forum that reveal the plot, but Lu Chaoding soon discovered that there is very little information about the Heavenly Dog Secret Realm and the mysterious person.

He finally managed to glean the code from a reply in a plot discussion thread.

The replyer's nickname was "Wang Zhenfeng." Lu Chaoding vaguely remembered this name; it seemed to be a player from the first newbie village he had invaded.

"These beta testers are clearly hiding their secrets and unwilling to reveal the code. They're so petty. I have to say, Wang Zhenfei is very open-minded. I give him a thumbs up!"

After Lu Chaoding memorized the code, he closed the forum. He took a step forward, and the mysterious man immediately bowed to him, loudly proclaiming, "Clang clang clang, clang clang clang, clang clang clang, clang clang clang!"

Lu Chao confidently declared, "Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!"

The mysterious man's body stiffened, and his identity information appeared above his head, but he said coldly, "The code is wrong. It seems you are not the people I am waiting for."

After saying that, he reached out and made a slashing gesture towards the flaming greatsword in the middle of the cave, and immediately a bright crescent-shaped light flew over it.

With a loud bang.

A flash of fire appeared, and the earth shook.

"Ding! The mysterious person attacked the Earth Vein Formation. The Earth Vein Formation is damaged, and the four-star Fiery Sword at the core of the formation has been reduced to three stars."
