Looking at the trembling fragments in his hand, Su Shi was momentarily stunned. These fragments were given to him by Yu Hongyin, and they were a part of the lost Nine Ancient Bell.
Now, feeling such a strong resonance, there was only one reason: the other scattered fragments were here!
Su Shi looked up at the dark building not far away. âIt seems that it should be inside this black tower.â
Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected harvest?
Su Shi glanced at Wang Que; this inferior clan member had repeatedly brought him surprises. Facing Su Shiâs gaze, Wang Que lowered his head in shame.
The other had saved his life multiple times and even risked himself in front of the savage beast just now. Such great kindness deserved to be repaid, yet he had kept something hidden from him. Although there were reasons behind it, Wang Que still felt guilty.
At this moment, Su Shi asked, âTell me in detail. What is this black tower, and how did you know about this place?â
Wang Que explained, âActually, itâs an accident⊠It started three months ago.â
At that time, Wang Que was forcibly captured and treated as a slave to be sold. He was unwilling to endure the humiliation and fought back, but it ended in failure. He was thrown directly into the Death Ground of Black Absolute.
According to common sense, a weak and powerless tribe entering the Death Ground of Black Absolute would undoubtedly die and become food for ferocious beasts.
However, Wang Que didnât give up.
Conveniently, there was a corpse of a savage beast nearby. He dug a deep pit in the ground and hid inside, covering himself with the corpse, trying to conceal his scent as much as possible. Surprisingly, he managed to survive the night.
The next morning, as he prepared to leave, he found the black miniature tower in the mouth of the savage beast.
âAt first, no matter how I tried, there was no response. I thought it was just an ordinary sculpture. But when my own blood accidentally dripped on it, the black tower emitted a faint light, and at the same time, a route naturally appeared in my mind.â
âFollowing the route in my mind, I encountered no danger along the way and arrived deep in this dense forest.â
Listening to Wang Queâs narration, Su Shi frowned slightly. Everything seemed too coincidental, as if it was meticulously prepared for him.
Could this be the fate of a destined character?
âSo, what exactly is inside that black tower?â Su Shi asked.
Wang Que shook his head, âI donât know either.â
âDonât know?â
Facing Su Shiâs puzzled gaze, Wang Que scratched his head and said, âActually, this is my second time hereâŠâ
When he saw the strange black tower, Wang Que realized that he had come to a turning point in fate. But he didnât dare to act recklessly.
The black tower stood in the center of the deathland, capable of blocking demonic energy, and even powerful savage beasts dared not approach. It was obviously not an ordinary thing.
Opportunities often come with dangers.
His strength was too weak, and he wasnât sure if he could seize the opportunity, or if he would risk his life for it.
Moreover, Wang Que hadnât reached the level of breakthrough yet. He didnât carry enough provisions and feared he wouldnât last three days
So he decided to take a risk and venture out, preparing extensively, and then return here to focus on cultivation.
âI was originally planning to go to Kodo City to prepare supplies, but unexpectedly, I offended someone⊠something happened before that.â
As a member of an inferior race, they had to bow and be subservient to other clans; a slight mistake could lead to disaster.
This was also the reason why he was eager to improve his strength. Su Shi asked, âThen why didnât you use this black small tower to save your life when facing the savage beast in the arena?â
Wang Que shook his head, âIf I took out this thing in public, it would truly be a disaster.â
âMoreover, I would rather die in the mouth of a savage beast than give this opportunity to those scumbags!â He spoke with deep-seated hatred in his eyes.
Su Shi could understand this.
Putting oneself in his shoes, after being forced into a desperate situation again and again, it was hard for anyone to remain calm.
âLet me see the object.â
âSure.â
Wang Que didnât hesitate and handed the black small tower to Su Shi.
Su Shi took it and weighed it in his hand.
It felt heavy, and no matter whether he infused spiritual power or soul power into it, there was no response. âIt seems like it has already recognized its master.â
After pondering for a moment, Su Shi walked towards the black tower, with Yu Renâer following closely behind.
Wang Que came to the front of the black tower and looked at the towering building before him. Su Shiâs eyes flashed with amazement. This black tower had twelve floors. It looked ordinary from afar, but as he approached, a strong sense of oppression washed over him, as if he was facing some unknown existence.
The black tower was entirely black, with a material that was neither metal nor stone, and had no luster, appearing similar to the texture of the fragments.
Each floor had windows, but they were dark and deep, making it impossible to see what was inside.
Su Shi circled around the black tower, but he couldnât find any entrance, not even a gap in the door.
âNo entrance?â
âBrother Su Shi, look at this!â
At this moment, Yu Renâerâs voice sounded.
Su Shi heard the sound and looked over.
Only to see a small groove in the middle of the south-facing wall, like a keyhole. Su Shi thought for a moment and picked up the black small tower, inserting it into the groove.
Crack. With a soft sound, the black small tower entered the groove and merged seamlessly with the black tower. In the next moment, the wall lit up with a flickering light, and a beam of light appeared from top to bottom. Amidst the rumbling vibration, two large doors slowly opened.
Inside the door, there was a mist, making it difficult to see what was inside.
Su Shi pondered for a moment and said, âIâll go in first, wait for me outside.â
âNo, I want to go in with Brother,â Yu Renâer insisted, pulling him.
Who knew what dangers might be inside the black tower? Although her strength was not as good as Su Shiâs, they could at least take care of each other.
Su Shi couldnât persuade her, so he had to hold her hand and walk in together.
Watching the two figures disappear into the mist, Wang Que stood still and hesitated.
He had a good idea of his own strength. This time coming to the Deathland, he just wanted to cultivate here with the dense spiritual energy for a period of time. He planned to enter the black tower after reaching the Golden Core stage.
âWith my talent, even in this place with dense spiritual energy, I donât know when I will break through.â
âRather than waiting indefinitelyâŠâ
Thinking of the humiliations he had suffered before, Wang Que clenched his fists.
No one could protect him forever.
If he wanted to live with dignity, the only way was to become stronger, so strong that no one would dare to bully him again!
âItâs no big deal to die once, anyway, Iâm not the Son of Heaven, Iâm as good as dead!â
Wang Que stepped into the black tower with determination. Just as he entered, the door slowly closed, the light disappeared, leaving no trace. At the same time, behind the window of the first floor, a faint figure seemed to flash by.
