The Ice Naga Boss kept howling, and Song Jian clenched his sword, staring at it with a vigilant face. The cooldown time for the Tai Chi Sword Skill was already up, and if the situation turned unfavorable, Song Jian planned to use the Tai Chi Sword Skill to save himself first.

The boss’s howling continued for more than half a minute before it finally stopped. At this time, there were crackling sounds coming from the surrounding rock walls, and ice rocks were breaking apart. Semi-transparent figures seemed to be struggling, trying to escape from the ice rocks.

In no time, more than a dozen four-armed Nagas made of ice broke free from the ice rocks, leaving behind a series of large holes.

Seeing more than a dozen four-armed Nagas surrounding him, the Ice Naga Boss’s face revealed a delighted smile: “Human, you will definitely die here today!”

“So many people, can’t beat me without summoning your minions, huh?” Song Jian stepped back, a sneer of disdain appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Glancing at his Pet Space, the Black Dragon hatchling was still in its evolution state. It would take more than two hours for the evolution to be completed. Its body had grown much larger, already more massive than a cow. The scales on its body were thicker, and it had sprouted two horns more than a foot long on its head. Although it was still asleep, the heat radiating from its body was becoming increasingly intense.

Song Jian closed the Pet Space and directly used the Blood Pool Summoning Skill. He left the blood crows and blood zombies to guard the territory while he summoned thirty blood wolves right now.

All thirty blood wolves were as large as small calves. Their fur was as red as blood, and when they shook, they seemed like a ball of flames burning fiercely.

By now, the level of the thirty blood wolves had risen to fifteen. Although their strength was still weaker compared to the sixteen elite four-armed Nagas summoned by the Ice Naga Boss, none of the blood wolves showed any signs of fear. They bared their teeth, growling threateningly, and surrounded these four-armed Nagas like a massive net.

“Let’s see who will die here!” Song Jian said coldly, rushing towards the Ice Naga Boss with his sword. The blood wolves also attacked at the same time. The thirty blood wolves moved as one, ferociously pouncing on the four-armed Naga, fighting intensely.

Song Jian kept swinging his sword, chopping at the Ice Naga Boss’s body, and fighting furiously with its three long blades. Blood kept spurting out from him and the Boss, and their vitality points kept decreasing.

As soon as the cooldown time for the Sword Shadow Step was over, Song Jian immediately used it, and his speed increased again. He circled around the Boss, constantly attacking from strange angles. Even with three arms, the Ice Naga Boss couldn’t help but scream in pain, only managing to defend itself.

Just then, a system communication suddenly rang out. Song Jian checked it and found it was from an unfamiliar number. With a frown, he quickly hung up.

Since the level honor rankings were released, many players tried to contact Song Jian, who was in the first place. Some asked him for quick upgrade methods, some for equipment and money, some for help leveling up, and others invited him to join their alliances.

“Is this the eighth or ninth stranger that has contacted me? Why doesn’t this communication system have a setting to block calls from strangers? It’s so outdated!” Song Jian thought to himself.

At this moment, the stranger called him again. Song Jian hung up in a second, but the communication device rang again after a few seconds.

Like this, the other party was persistent and kept calling more than a dozen times, and Song Jian finally couldn’t help but answer.

“Who are you? What do you want? I’m busy fighting a Boss right now, do you understand?” Song Jian growled, trying to suppress his anger.

There was silence on the other end of the line, perhaps because the caller didn’t expect Song Jian to answer.

“Sorry, I am Wang Runjie from the Coastal Military Zone. You can call me Councilor Wang!” An middle-aged man’s voice sounded in Song Jian’s ear: “We’ve met before, outside the Frost Cave. Are you currently fighting the Frost Cave Boss?”

“Coastal Military Zone?” Song Jian was stunned, and when he heard they met outside the Frost Cave, the figures standing as straight as pines behind the makeshift shelter appeared in his mind.

Song Jian’s tone became much gentler, as he had previously guessed that those players were soldiers. Unexpectedly, they were all warriors from the Coastal Military Zone.

“Yes, I am currently fighting the Frost Cave Boss, the Ice Naga!” Song Jian replied.

“Can I ask how you got into the Frost Cave? We’ve been trying to find a way in for over a week, but we can’t seem to enter!” Councilor Wang’s tone immediately became urgent, and he quickly asked.

Song Jian hesitated for a moment before finally saying, “Holy Flame Pearl. I accidentally obtained a Holy Flame Pearl, which allowed me to open the dungeon’s gate. However, the Holy Flame Pearl has disappeared now. It seems that a single Holy Flame Pearl can only open the gate once!”

“The Holy Flame Pearl? I see!” Councilor Wang recalled the red pearl Song Jian had in his hand and a look of epiphany spread across his face: “What a pity…”

“Now that you are ranked first in the entire city’s levels, are you interested in joining the military? What I mean is, in the real world, are you interested in enlisting and becoming a member of the Coastal Military Zone?” Councilor Wang finally revealed the purpose of his call, still hoping to recruit Song Jian.

“Enlisting in the real world? Joining the Coastal Military Zone? How is that possible?” Song Jian said with a smile.

In reality, the Coastal Military Zone was the most unique and smallest of the several major military zones. Every soldier in the zone had the strength of a special forces operative. They usually didn’t recruit soldiers from the public and only transferred them from other combat units. Without a certain level of ability, it was impossible to join the Coastal Military Zone, let alone someone like Song Jian, who was a civilian.

“If you agree, you can immediately become a member of the Coastal Military Zone, and you will even be granted the rank of Captain!” Councilor Wang said with a smile.

Naturally, such a decision wouldn’t be made by Councilor Wang alone. Although it had only been a few days in reality, the Coastal Military Zone had already recognized the terrifying potential of the game.

Even if it was just an ordinary person, as long as they didn’t die in the game for just a few nights, they would possess strange abilities. Deputy Commander Sun was the best among them. He was originally just an ordinary captain, but after accidentally entering the game, he managed to defeat all ten elite soldiers in the Coastal Military Zone without having to fight back.

Recruiting experts from the game into the Coastal Military Zone was being discussed among the higher-ups in the zone. Although no official orders had been issued yet, Councilor Wang felt that there was a great chance that this would become a reality. Consequently, recruiting some of the game’s top players in advance was only natural for Councilor Wang.
