Protagonist:

Yu Changsheng

The four of them felt the rope magic treasures connect end to end in their hands, surrounding Wang Mie in the center.

Immediately after, the four simultaneously began to exert their magical power, condensing a golden chain that gradually linked together through those rope magic treasures.

Very quickly, that golden chain became more and more condensed, nearly reaching the thickness of an arm, and growing thicker and thicker as magical power was poured in.

After a few breaths, the chain had already reached the thickness of a small tree, and every single golden link was already considerably condensed.

As these chains gradually took shape, Wang Mie inside indeed felt the magical power within his body gradually draining away.

Before long, the originally quite abundant magical power had already been sucked away by more than half, and was still disappearing continuously.

"Alright, stop!"

After Yu Changsheng and the others withdrew their hands, Wang Mie also nodded and said: "Looks like you've grasped it pretty well."

"The effect is also very good; the only problem is that during the time it takes for the chain to form, you absolutely must not let Lin Tianhao leave the chain's range, otherwise all previous effort will be wasted."

Yu Changsheng silently estimated: from the four of them deploying the Dragon-Trapping Lock to the chain fully forming, it took about fifteen breaths or so.

Although very short, in a battle like this it is already a considerably long time.

"Wanting to make Lin Tianhao unable to leave within such a span of time — I'm afraid it won't be easy."

Wang Mie said: "This requires the four of you to act according to the situation; if Lin Tianhao wants to run, you must also adjust your positions at any time, making it so that Lin Tianhao can neither advance nor retreat!"

Yu Changsheng said: "Since that's the case, the four of us will practice once more."

The four immediately stood again in their original positions, the rope magic treasures in their hands connecting once more.

This time another person stood in the center; this person needed to constantly try to find a way to leave the rope's range.

And what Yu Changsheng and the others had to do was to constantly adjust their positions, not letting him leave.

After a round of practice, Yu Changsheng and the others gradually developed a tacit understanding.

Once the person in the middle neared one of the positions.

Everyone would move simultaneously, almost already able to do it without a hitch.

Wang Mie, watching from the side, was also absorbed; with this coordination, trapping Lin Tianhao for fifteen breaths was already no problem.

Yu Changsheng and the others, now with sufficient confidence, immediately rushed toward the most core location.

At the very center of this Pupa Tower's twelfth layer was a gigantic tower.

The entire tower was pitch-black like ink, fully several hundred meters tall.

Such a colossal structure sat right in the center of a plaza — hard not to take it seriously.

At the same time, Yu Changsheng and the others had already drawn very close to this place.

The ten people hid beneath a building, observing the situation here.

Wang Mie lay prone in a corner, saying in a low voice: "This place is actually this quiet, and there isn't any mechanism or trap at all — it's really abnormal."

Yu Changsheng had long since secretly contacted Xuan Gui and learned the personnel situation here.

Besides the ten of them, the light spots in this place numbered only five or six scattered in different locations; almost everyone else was on the road rushing here.

But these people's identities could not be confirmed; they could only go check for themselves.

"Before we discover Lin Tianhao's tracks, let's not expose ourselves first."

Yu Changsheng carefully watched all around, not daring the slightest carelessness.

"Are we just hiding here? Not going anywhere? Simply a turtle pulling in its head."

One of them said with a displeased face.

Yu Changsheng frowned: "If you want to leave, you can leave at any time; but if you die outside, don't expect anyone else to save you!"

That person was instantly shut up into a stretch of silence; a good while later he said with some irritation: "My meaning is, we need to take the initiative and attack!"

"Find Lin Tianhao's position, only then can we seize the initiative!"

"Otherwise, by the time Lin Tianhao has already left, are we still going to stay here dumbly?"

Yu Changsheng coldly laughed: "Fine, since that's the case, you just go out then. We'll all wait here for your good news."

That person said: "How can this matter have only me act alone? Everyone should scatter and search for Lin Tianhao's tracks!"

Yu Changsheng said: "Less nonsense; if you're willing to go then go, if not willing then don't just show off your tongue."

"Us lying low here and waiting to see how things develop is the best plan!"

Yu Changsheng doing this naturally had his reasoning.

After all, he had Xuan Gui reporting information to him at any time, so he could grasp the number of people here at any moment and detect anomalies the first instant.

"Be careful, someone went to the Hei Ta."

Wang Mie suddenly let out a low shout, and everyone followed suit and quieted down.

"I know this person; he's from the Da Sheng Clan."

One of them said softly.

And that Da Sheng Clan person in the distance also rapidly approached the Hei Ta, but before he could get close.

The Hei Ta suddenly manifested a black pattern that enveloped him, and the next second directly tore him to pieces, pulverizing his body and shattering his bones.

Such a scene also made everyone present start in shock.

Wang Xi was secretly shocked: "Hiss, this person is really miserable enough. But the Hei Ta indeed has a forbidden restriction. Good thing we didn't rashly approach just now."

Yu Changsheng also looked toward the person who had previously said he wanted to go out and scout.

"Why aren't you speaking? Could it be you also want to go try?"

That person's face flushed red, and he no longer spoke further, shutting his mouth and falling silent.

Yu Zhangsheng continued: "Right now we have no grasp of any situation; acting rashly would only make wedding clothes for others! The best option is to wait for others to go probe first!"

"Moreover, the position we occupy is extremely critical; we can observe everything here. There are actually fools who want to leave here and venture out on their own — truly a joke."

This time, no one voiced an opinion contrary to Yu Zhangsheng's, for the facts were already laid bare before their eyes.

Everyone was in the dark observing the Tower's situation, waiting for the next batch of people to arrive.

And Yu Zhangsheng was also constantly in contact with the Xuan Gui, observing the light dots approaching the Tower.

Sure enough, several more people were rapidly approaching.

Very soon Yu Zhangsheng and his group could already hear the sound of someone approaching.

Wang Mie carefully lifted his head for a look: "It's actually Leng Xu?"

The arrivals were precisely Leng Xu and her four-person group; unknown what means Leng Xu had, she had actually gathered all her team members together.

Wang Xi said in a low voice: "Should we warn her?"

Wang Mie: "Warn her for what? This demoness dying benefits us all! Besides, it's perfect — let her test just what the situation with that Tower really is."

Everyone fell silent, looking toward the Tower's direction.

Only to see Leng Xu slowly arrive not far from the Tower; after looking around for a while, she went to the front of the Tower.

And in the instant the four approached, the Tower once again produced many black lines that enveloped the four within.

In merely a split second, two among them were torn to shreds by those black lines.

However, what no one expected was.

Leng Xu, and that Qian Lintian's flesh puppet, were actually completely unharmed.

Leng Xu was also startled by this sudden mechanism, but after sensing she was unharmed, her courage grew considerably, and she began wandering around the Tower.

"How can this be? Why doesn't the Tower attack Leng Xu? Could it be Leng Xu has some means to avoid it?"

Wang Mie looked at that side in puzzlement, also completely baffled.

The others were in much the same situation, unable to figure out what was happening.

Yu Zhangsheng said: "If Leng Xu truly had some means to avoid the formation, she couldn't have had zero reaction just now." "Nor could she have let her two subordinates be torn apart alive by those black lines. It's very likely she also didn't know of the black lines' existence, and didn't know how to respond."

Hu Ruhai said: "Since that's the case, how could she have nothing happen to her? This matter is truly strange, and the other person beside her also had nothing happen to him?"

Wang Mie pondered carefully, then speculated: "That Qian Lintian is already dead; he is a puppet, so he wasn't attacked by the Tower."

"It may be because the Tower only attacks living beings."

"But Leng Xu wasn't attacked — that's clearly abnormal. What difference is there between her and the other two?"

"Could it be this Tower only attacks men, not women?" One person speculated.

"What joke — could this Tower be a male?"

"Exactly; maybe it's because Leng Xu was farther away and wasn't affected?"

Yu Zhangsheng looked at Leng Xu's figure and suddenly realized.

"Could it be because of the Insect Talisman?"

"Insect Talisman?"

Wang Mie's eyes instantly brightened; if one spoke of the greatest difference between Leng Xu and the other two, it was only whether they possessed an Insect Talisman.

And the Insect Talisman clearly could also have some connection with this Tower.

"That being the case, it's extremely possible; perhaps only those possessing an Insect Talisman can approach."

"Those without an Insect Talisman who rashly approach — their ending would be miserable."

Hearing this, quite a few of those present felt a wave of lingering fear.

Among these ten people, those possessing Insect Talismans were only Yu Zhangsheng, Hu Ruhai, and Wang Mie — three people; the remaining several had no Insect Talismans.

If they really had approached just now, they would doubtlessly be dead; now they felt even more grateful toward Yu Zhangsheng.

If not for Yu Zhangsheng, they would certainly have gone over to check.

"Sigh, this time thanks to your keen perception, we've all picked our lives back up."

Several people's gazes toward Yu Zhangsheng grew much gentler.

"Let's talk about this later; look at that woman!"

Everyone raised their heads to look, only to see Leng Xu suddenly vanish before the Tower, which stunned everyone.

However, not long after, Leng Xu's whole person was directly flung out by the Tower.

Leng Xu's expression seemed somewhat furious; she cursed nonstop before the Tower, extremely unpleasant to hear.

"What is this woman cursing about?"

"Right, what situation occurred just now?"

"Could there be something inside that Tower?"

"Should we go over and ask what the situation is?"

Several people also hesitated; Yu Zhangsheng was also calculating whether to meet with Leng Xu.

However, at this moment, several figures flew in from the distance.

Noticing newcomers arriving, several people quieted down again, watching to see those people's purpose.

And the arrivals were actually Qi Liu San and several other Da Sheng Clan people.

Among Yu Zhangsheng's group of ten, there were a few of Qi Liu San's people, who immediately wanted to go make contact, but were pressed down by Hu Ruhai.

"What are you doing? Want to expose us all?"

"If you insist on leaving, don't blame the rest of us for not agreeing."

Those few subordinates of Qi Liu San could only give up, looking toward Qi Liu San's direction anxiously.

Actually they also wanted to relay this intelligence to Qi Liu San, to avoid unnecessary casualties.

And before the Hei Ta.

Qi Liu San and the others also noticed Leng Xu before the Tower, and were immediately attracted by her beauty.

"Hehe, didn't expect to see such a beauty here."

Leng Xu smiled faintly, the round fan in her hand swaying gently, "Heehee, I just encountered danger here, you must protect me."

Qi Liu San asked, "Oh? What danger did you encounter?"

Leng Xu pointed at the corpses on the Ground, "Look and you'll know."

Qi Liu San leaned in for a closer look, and when he saw clearly what exactly was on the Ground, he was also startled.

These were clearly corpses torn into pieces of Flesh.

"Who killed these people?"

"They weren't killed by a person, but were struck by the Hei Ta's Fan E."

Qi Liu San immediately retreated several steps, distancing himself from the Hei Ta, watching it with Vigilance.

"How were they struck by Fan E? Do you know?"

Leng Xu gave him a sidelong glance, "If I knew, why would I seek help from you?"

Qi Liu San also had a bit of a headache; he had gone to great trouble to Arrive here, yet still couldn't enter.

At this moment he was also at a loss, neither advancing nor retreating.

Seeing Qi Liu San had no reaction for a long time, Leng Xu urged, "What, you're scared? Didn't you agree to protect me?"

"Why not go take a look inside the Hei Ta?"

"Cough cough, who said I'm not going? Entering is only a matter of time, but without figuring out the Hei Ta's Forbidden Restriction, how could I possibly enter rashly!"

Leng Xu said with a smile, "I just went in earlier, only I was driven out. Even I dare go over, yet you don't dare?"

Qi Liu San didn't believe this ghost talk, turned his head to look at the Hei Ta, he had figured it out.

This woman clearly wanted to make him a sacrificial pawn, he absolutely wouldn't fall for it.

"Hmph! Since it's a Forbidden Restriction, there's always a way to undo it. You lot, come here!"

Qi Liu San called over several of his Subordinates, instructed, "You few form a formation, Attempt the Hei Ta's defense."

"Yes!"

The few people took out Talismans from their Storage Bags, then simultaneously struck them out.

Dao Dao Incantation/Hand Seals were rapidly magnified, Composition a giant hand, smashing toward the Hei Ta.

However the giant hand hadn't yet fully approached the Hei Ta, when it was Kun Ju in midair by the suddenly appearing black lines, unable to move.

The giant hand rapidly disintegrated, Turn Into Light Points.

But those black lines didn't Disperse because of this, directly pouncing toward Qi Liu San's few Subordinates.

Those few people instantly revealed expressions of terror, hurriedly retreating.

But the black lines' speed was really too fast, in a few breaths they had already Long Guan the few people, completely tearing them into pieces of Flesh.

Qi Liu San saw this miserable state, Complexion Pale, immediately turned and retreated a long distance.

But what he didn't expect was, after killing those few people, the black lines quickly Disperse, not continuing to pursue and kill him.

Such a strange situation also left Qi Liu San utterly perplexed.

Seeing the Hei Ta indeed had no more reaction, Qi Liu San then mustered his Audacity and approached.

"I say, why didn't you tell me earlier the Hei Ta actually has such means!"

Qi Liu San now only had Anger left, losing several Subordinates for no reason, whoever it was would feel Heartache. (Chapter End)
