Chapter 320: Appearance of the Desolete Beast! The Mysterious Black Tower in the Deadly Land!
Wang Que took out a dark object from his bosom.
Su Shi looked from a distance and saw that it was a black miniature tower, about a dozen stories high, with flying eaves and exquisite corners. The entire body was dark blue-black, and it was not clear what material it was made of.
“What is this?” Su Shi frowned.
Could this be Wang Que’s hidden secret? He was able to safely come to the interior of the dense forest, relying on this seemingly ordinary miniature tower?
The bear demon lowered its massive head, and its scarlet eyes were filled with greed.
It seemed to be pondering how to savor this delicacy.
Wang Que tightly grasped the miniature tower, and his back was already soaked in cold sweat.
“Darn it, the route was supposed to be safe before. How could a bear demon suddenly appear?”
“There’s no other choice. I can only use this thing.”
“I hope there won’t be any more chaos ahead…”
At this moment, the bear demon could no longer restrain itself and raised its huge palm towards Wang Que, ready to grab him. The fierce wind blew, making the skin hurt.
Wang Que seemed to be frightened and stood still in place, without evading, directly caught in the bear demon’s hand.
The bear demon lifted him up, opened its stinking bloody mouth, and was ready to swallow him whole.
Yu Ren’er couldn’t bear to look and turned her head away. Su Shi remained unmoved, silently watching the scene.
Just then, a faint glimmer of light appeared. The bear demon’s movements stopped abruptly.
Buzz~
Looking down, they saw a faint light emanating from the black tower in Wang Que’s hand. The first layer of windows lit up, and one could vaguely see flickering shadows, as if something was hidden inside.
The bear demon seemed to have seen something terrifying. Its scarlet eyes widened, and it frantically threw Wang Que away, as if he were a hot potato.
“Roar!”
The bear demon didn’t even look back as it ran away, causing a seismic disturbance in its wake. A large number of trees fell, and it soon disappeared without a trace. The black miniature tower made it so afraid!
Wang Que fell to the ground.
He slowly got up, his expression calm, obviously having anticipated this situation long ago.
Looking at the black miniature tower in his hand, he sighed helplessly.
“The road ahead is probably going to be even more difficult.”
He didn’t want to waste any time, so he put away the miniature tower and identified the direction before continuing to run deeper into the dense forest.
Yu Ren’er furrowed her beautiful brows and asked, “Brother, what was that thing just now?”
Su Shi said, “I’m not sure, but it should be closely related to the Death Ground of Black Absolute. My intuition tells me that this miniature tower is not to be underestimated, and Wang Que clearly has a great opportunity on him!”
They continued on their way into the depths of the forest. Following Wang Que’s route, they didn’t encounter any more ferocious beasts; the bear demon from before was probably just an accident.
However, he seemed a bit panicked. Running while constantly looking around, as if worried about something.
Just as he was about to enter the center of the dense forest, the air suddenly became dense with demonic energy. Mist filled the air, making it hard to see anything, and he could barely see the path ahead.
From the thick fog came low roars, seemingly concealing some unknown creatures.
Wang Que’s face turned pale, and he hurriedly ran forward with all his strength.
Whoosh. The wind roared, and the mist surged as a dark shadow suddenly darted towards him like lightning.
“It’s over!”
Feeling the cold wind behind him, Wang Que’s eyes were filled with despair. This speed was unavoidable, and the next second the dark shadow would pierce through his body.
Suddenly, a large hand grabbed him.
Wang Que’s body lightened, and he flew into the air, narrowly avoiding the attack of the dark shadow. Before he could regain his senses, his figure instantly flew out and arrived at an open and flat piece of land.
Looking back, his vision became clear, and it seemed that the mist was blocked by an invisible wall. In the rolling mist not far away, countless shadows flickered, and pairs of scarlet eyes were watching him.
However, they seemed somewhat wary and did not approach.
After a while, the shadows gradually dissipated, and the dense fog receded like a tide.
Wang Que finally breathed a sigh of relief, slumping to the ground, panting with lingering fear. At this moment, he heard a familiar voice, “What was that just now?”
“Hmm?”
Wang Que suddenly turned around and saw Su Shi standing behind him, looking solemnly at the direction where the shadows disappeared.
“Su Shengzi? Miss Yu?” Wang Que was taken aback and couldn’t believe it, “How did you end up here?”
Su Shi said calmly, “Because we’ve been following you all along.”
“….”
Seeing their candidness, Wang Que didn’t know what to say for a moment and scratched his head, “So you mean, just now, it was Su Shengzi who saved me again?”
“That doesn’t matter.” Su Shi observed him and said, “Truly didn’t expect, you have quite a few secrets on you.”
Wang Que looked embarrassed and said in a low voice, “I didn’t deliberately hide it from Su Shengzi, but there are so many eyes in the Beast Fighting Arena, and many things I simply dare not say…”
Su Shi shook his head, “Everyone has their own secrets, and whether to speak or not is your freedom. I’m just curious why you seem to come here often?”
Wang Que said, “It’s not that often, but I have indeed been here a few times.”
“So, what was hidden in the fog just now?” Su Shi asked.
Those mysterious shadows felt strange, even giving him a creepy feeling. Wang Que swallowed and said tremblingly, “Those are desolate beasts.”
“Desolate beasts?”
Both Su Shi and Yu Ren’er were stunned.
Yu Ren’er had only heard of the horror of desolate beasts but had never seen them up close. She didn’t expect that they were just within arm’s reach!
“According to reason, this route should avoid most of the ferocious beasts, but because I used the Black Tower, it attracted them over.”
Wang Que took out the black small tower from his bosom, “The aura of this Black Tower can scare away ferocious beasts, but it will attract the coveting of desolate beasts instead.”
When facing the bear demon earlier, he had no choice but to activate the Black Tower.
While scaring away the bear demon, it was also sensed by the desolate beasts in the Death Land, so he had to run away in such a hurry.
Su Shi was puzzled, “Then why did they all leave just now?”
Wang Que pointed to the distance, “It’s because of that thing.” Su Shi turned back and saw at the center of the empty land stood a black tall tower, its appearance identical to the black small tower, just on a much larger scale.
The tall tower had a circumference of about a hundred meters, and there was hardly any demonic energy around it; it was all shielded by some unknown force.
Instead, the spiritual power was unusually dense. Perhaps this was one of the reasons why desolate beasts were unwilling to step into this place. Looking at the black tall tower, Su Shi fell silent for a moment before opening his palm. In his palm lay a fragment, trembling slightly.
“So, it was here?”
