All players: I can choose my own dungeon rewards.

Rumble~
As the three of them were talking, they suddenly felt the palace beneath their feet begin to shake unusually, as if it was about to collapse.

Chen Ming and Chen Can were a little confused for a moment, and immediately looked around, thinking that some other enemy had used some violent means of attack.

Only Wang Zhifan at the side reacted and reminded them:

"This is a sign that the Gray Domain is about to collapse! We need to leave quickly!"

The two brothers were ready to return the same way they came, but Chen Ming was sharp-eyed and saw some body fragments scattered in the corner of the palace. He immediately raised his hand and pointed there, saying:
"Brother Fan, we still haven't finished searching! Is it too late for us to go over and take a look?"

"Just move fast enough!"

As someone who used to be a professional cleaner of the gray domain, Wang Zhifan understood that the gray domain's collapse and disappearance would take a process, at least three minutes, so he agreed to their search request.

The two brothers then rushed to the corner of the palace. Especially Chen Can, who had just put on the excellent-level Thunder Giant Gloves, was unimaginably fast. His figure flashed like lightning and he arrived at the location of the player's corpse. It was estimated that he activated the Thunder Giant Gloves' ability to move as fast as thunder.

"Oops! All the equipment is smashed!"

The next second, Chen Can, who appeared next to the pile of corpses, uttered a regretful sound. He raised his foot to push aside the pile of corpses to further check the covered equipment, then quickly returned to Wang Zhifan, and at the same time did not forget to pull Chen Ming, who had just arrived there, back with him.

"Let's go! Remember to stay away from me when you leave the Gray Region. Chen Ming, activate the energy shield. I suspect someone is ambushing outside..."

Wang Zhifan never checked the bodies of those players from beginning to end, because his perception was as strong as a radar, and he had already determined that there were only junk and waste in there.

"Someone ambushed us?"

When Chen Ming and Chen Can heard this, their faces immediately turned suspicious. They left with Wang Zhifan the same way they came, wanting to ask him for more details.

But Wang Zhifan didn't say much. He deliberately rushed to a distance in front of the two brothers and decided to go out of the gray area alone to see the situation.

At the same time, in the complex woods outside the gray area.

The group of foreign players who had been hiding in the distance have all regained their invisibility. They surrounded the gray area where Wang Zhifan and the other two had entered, and were discussing whether they should send someone in to take a look and determine the best time to rob.

"Boss, this gray area is very difficult. I guess the three Xia people are now injured or even dead. You can send someone in to check the situation."

A dark-skinned, thin man with a rather vulgar look proposed to a tattooed burly man wearing a black vest.

"Wait a little longer! We have to be patient in our line of work! We can't let those three Xia guys notice us too early, otherwise they will definitely not work hard to fight the Gray Region..."

The tattooed vest-wearing burly man who was the leader of the team shook his fleshy head and decisively rejected the suggestion.

In fact, there was not much problem with the boss's decision. It had only been about fifteen minutes since Wang Zhifan and the other two entered the gray area, and there were still five minutes before he estimated to take action.

But suddenly, someone in the team discovered something unusual about the gray area they were surrounded by, and screamed in disbelief:
"Boss! The Gray Region... The Gray Region seems to be disappearing!"

"what?!"

After hearing this, the burly man in the tattooed vest suddenly turned his head to look at the gray area next to him. What he saw was incredible. He found that the gray area was slowly dissipating and disintegrating. The most obvious feature was that the color of the gray mist began to fade little by little, and its area was gradually shrinking.

"MD... This Gray Region was breached by those three Xia country guys?!"

The tattooed burly man's brain was almost unable to function at this moment. He anticipated all kinds of possible situations, but he had not thought deeply about the conquest of the gray area.

Because in his opinion, this was almost an impossible thing to happen. After all, this gray area was notoriously difficult, and many famous player groups had been wiped out in it. Each of these player groups seemed to be stronger and more professional than the previous three.

"Boss! That's great! We finally got the chance to double our profits!"

A team member also reacted upon seeing this, and shouted and cheered excitedly, thinking that they had come across a great opportunity to obtain both player equipment and high-level gray domain benefits at the same time. This kind of highly cost-effective "business" is not easy to come across.

However, the next second, the team member was slapped by the burly man in the tattooed vest, causing his body to spin and his head to be forced awake.

"You idiot! The three of them can only defeat the High-level Gray Domain! Do you think they are easy to beat? Retreat quickly! Retreat to a far distance and hide collectively! Wait for my orders!"

The team leader looked nervous and conflicted, and he immediately issued a mandatory order, asking all members of the team to disperse to distant places in order to quickly expand the encirclement.

His team members were obviously more convinced of him. Although they had slightly different opinions, they still followed his instructions and disappeared into the lush woods around them.

The tattooed vest-wearing man quickly ran to a distance of 200 meters and hid behind a big tree. He took out a telescope and aimed it at the gray area, thinking to himself:
"It seems that what Ah Biao said is right. There are indeed tough guys among you... But let me see what state you are in after defeating the Gray Region... If there is anything wrong with you, I must take a gamble! From now on, you will be on the road to the top..."

The reason why he arranged his men to evacuate in a dispersed manner and even used invisibility means was that he judged that Wang Zhifan's three-person team was much stronger than he originally thought. If they acted rashly, it would be very dangerous and might result in a rollover or even the destruction of the entire team.

But it was impossible for him to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity directly. He also had to carefully observe the state of Wang Zhifan and others after they left the gray area before deciding whether to attack.

Because according to his speculation, even if Wang Zhifan and the other two defeated the final BOSS of this high-level gray domain, the price they paid would be very high. Maybe all three of them were seriously injured and physically exhausted. In that case, their combat effectiveness would inevitably be greatly reduced, allowing the gang members to easily resolve the problem by launching a siege, thus achieving an unprecedented great harvest.

Time passed second by second, and in the gray domain that was in the process of collapse, Wang Zhifan was the first to reach the edge of the gray domain. He only needed to take one more step to leave the gray domain directly.

He concentrated his mind and prepared himself for high-intensity attacks before he took the Qingdi Sword and took this step. In a blink of an eye, he arrived outside the gray area and appeared in the lush woods area.

However, it was different from what he thought. As soon as he came out, he found that the people he had discovered before entering the gray area were still hiding in the distance. Although their positions had changed, they were still relatively far away, making it difficult for him to figure out these people's intentions.

"What's going on? Why haven't these people taken action yet? Are they all peeping Toms?" While Wang Zhifan was confused, he had the urge to activate the power of ice to kill them all instantly. His purpose was naturally to prevent any disaster from happening.

But the other party had not attacked him so far, nor was there any actual move to attack him. He was just hiding and watching from a distance. This fact made him give up the idea of ​​killing him. After all, he had his own personal standards for whether to kill indiscriminately.

"Forget it, let's just let this group of people go for now, they are just weaklings anyway."

In the end, Wang Zhifan chose to pretend that he didn't know that someone was ambushing in the distance, and turned to look at the two brothers who walked out of the gray area.

"Brother Fan, where are the people who ambushed us? Have they been dealt with?"

The two brothers came out of the energy shield together. Wang Zhifan reminded them that there were people outside with bad intentions, so they were prepared for a fight in advance. But after coming out, they looked around and saw no one. They couldn't help but guess that it was Wang Zhifan who took action to solve the trouble in just a few seconds.

"No, they are all hiding around. Let's ignore them for now and find a place to contact the guide."

Wang Zhifan then briefly told them the truth, and at the same time released his perception to pay attention to the situation around him. Once he found any unusual movement, he would turn them into ice chips all over the ground.

The three of them then returned along the dirt road beside the woods. On the way, Chen Can took out a special communication device to contact the guide.

In a country that is already underdeveloped and full of gray areas, the infrastructure is far from comparable to that of Xia Country. Ordinary telephones are likely to become scrap metal, and only satellite phones or the like can be used.

After they had gone far away, the burly man in the tattooed vest in the woods gathered the gang members and announced his next plan.

"Brothers! You all saw that the three Xia people just now were definitely not ordinary big fish! For such dangerous high-level prey, especially when they have already noticed our presence, if we act rashly, we will become short-lived fools!

But don't worry, Boss, I have a better and more reliable hunting plan! Once we gather enough experts, we will soon take them all down and let the arrogant Xia players know the strength of our country..."

From the words of the burly man in the tattooed vest, we can know that although he did not launch an attack on Wang Zhifan and the other two just now, it does not mean that he will give up the fat meat in front of him and give up the opportunity to get rich quickly.

He simply deduced that his current strength was not enough to safely defeat Wang Zhifan and the other two, and that the risk of forcing them was too great, so the best strategy was to further expand his own strength and form an absolute crushing advantage.

Specifically, he would find the top players from his country that he knew, and invite them to join forces to encircle and suppress Wang Zhifan and the other three big fish from Xia Country. By doing so, the profits they could get would certainly be much less, but at least victory would be a sure thing.

Little did they know that these people's plans fell into the ears of Wang Zhifan, who was supposed to stay away.

Wang Zhifan was originally at least two miles away from them, but he left behind his dream clone to secretly monitor these suspicious people. When he found that this group of people gathered together, he directly activated the teleportation ability of the Infinite Shoes and relied on the intelligent AI Xiaohong to quietly translate their conversation.

In such foreign areas, there are language inconveniences, unlike in the dungeon, which provides universal automatic translation capabilities for people from all countries.

"Sure enough, this group of people have been eyeing us for a long time... but they want to take action but don't dare, so they decided to mobilize people to increase their chances of winning... Should I nip their plan in the bud, or go with the flow?"

Now that he had discovered the enemy's conspiracy, Wang Zhifan naturally had the ability to deal with them all. It was no exaggeration to say that this was an explosion of ice source power for him. In his opinion, this group of people combined were not even half as strong as the previous Gray Domain BOSS, so he had no interest in taking action.

But there is another strategy, which is to temporarily allow these people to gather people and cause trouble, and then catch them all in one fell swoop to cause the greatest harm to them, while also bringing higher potential benefits.

"I wonder how many expert players this so-called leader can summon to siege me. I hope they are really expert players and that they have equipment that I can use..."

After thinking about it, Wang Zhifan decided to leave quietly, pretending not to know the plans of these locals, and decided to play the long game to catch the big fish.

He was indeed looking forward to the battle with the local masters.

In the past, he had only fought with a few players in the dungeon, and the process was not very stimulating, too overwhelming and boring.

In the reality of Earth, he had a battle with a foreign player in the early days of his contact with the Super Game. The result was a narrow victory. Recently, he helped the Administration fight a criminal team and won a big victory, but unfortunately he let a foreign master escape in the end.

As for this chaotic neighboring country to the south, he had no impression of it at all. He wondered if the masters who grew up in such an environment could give him some surprising experiences. For a moment, his expectations were maxed out.

"What?! You have already cleaned up that gray area? It's only been a short time!"

After Chen Can got through to the guide, an undisguised voice of shock came through the loudspeaker.

"Yes, Brother Fan is too strong... Please drive over here quickly to take us to the next gray area. Brother Fan's time is very precious and we cannot afford any delay..."

Chen Can urged, his tone light and cheerful.

Next to him, Chen Ming was taking out some dry food from his personal space and eating it greedily. He seemed to be getting hungrier than anyone else, like a glutton.

Wang Zhifan, who had returned, felt something was amiss, but after carefully observing the belt around Chen Ming's waist, he understood what was going on.

"The rare Hunger Belt I gave to Chen Can now appears on him... That's right, the negative effects of the Hunger Belt are not a big problem for a priest like him... But a negative effect is still a negative effect. Maybe I should give him the Thunder Giant Belt, but doing so would easily arouse suspicion."

Wang Zhifan wanted to help Chen Ming, but they were just friends after all. Many secrets were best known to him alone. The possibility of the secrets being exposed must be reduced. Even if they were exposed, it would not necessarily affect him.

"Let's wait and see the overall benefits of this Gray Domain Project. There will always be a chance to give him something useful... If the things in the Gray Domain are always too stingy, we must end this project early and devote our energy to more important things."

Regarding the cleaning of the gray area, Wang Zhifan came here just to test the waters and satisfy his friend's request, which does not mean that he will definitely continue for a long time.

The key to the problem lies in the size of the benefits. Obtaining some excellent equipment may be a great fortune for other players, but for Wang Zhifan, he really doesn't care about it. Only higher-level things are attractive enough to him. (End of this chapter)
