Chapter 1023

Hearing the lion beast say this, Su Yu remembered the wound cut open by the dagger, and as if in a trance, he seemed to have returned to that corridor, the scene of the battle still fresh in his memory.

"Why is there a chance of getting it?" Su Yu reacted quickly, steadied his mind, and looked at the lion beast.

The lion beast licked its claws: "Because, many people don't have the luck to meet the previous master. The souls that have entered the Soul-Gathering Lamp over the years, if not tens of thousands, are at least thousands. Some can't meet the Nine-Tailed Beast at all, and others are killed by it in seconds."

The lion beast looked at Su Yu's face, and a dull purring sound came from its throat: "It seems that you are the most capable one. Your luck allowed you to meet it, and your strength made it lower its guard against you, but you still killed it in the end."

Su Yu said: "If I could get rid of the Soul-Gathering Lamp, I would rather not be this master."

Ever since he met the Giant Python, there had been many things around him, and there were many things he had no heart to deal with. Although it couldn't be considered tired, after dealing with it for a long time, he began to be annoyed.

And when Su Yu said this, he saw the lion beast's expression change.

"You said, you don't want to be the master here?" The lion beast shook its head and took a step back, "Do you know how long the Nine-Tailed Beast has been ruling here?"

Su Yu was not interested in these, but looking at the lion beast's expression, he still frowned and said: "One hundred years."

"Five hundred years!" The lion beast became excited, its hair exploded, as if it were stating an incredibly unbelievable fact, "Five hundred years! There has been no new master here for a long time!"

"Oh," Su Yu said coldly, "What does it have to do with me?"

The lion beast stared at Su Yu's plain face, a bit unwilling: "Do you know how many people want to be the master? If you can become the master of the Soul-Gathering Lamp... you will have heaven-reaching abilities!"

Su Yu finally began to be curious. He wanted to possess new abilities at all times to improve himself: "You say, what ability?"

"You can resurrect anyone, as long as you want." The lion beast's tone was full of bewitchment at this time, "Although the number of times is not many... but this will be your new trump card."

"So heaven-defying?!" Su Yu's tone was rarely excited. He sat down in front of the lion beast and asked it to tell him in detail.

But the lion beast turned its face away, looking extremely mysterious: "You find the sweet spring first, otherwise I won't tell you."

Hearing this, Su Yu sighed: "Okay."

The lion beast was the guardian beast here, Su Yu could see it, and the guardian beast also had its own duties, otherwise the lion beast wouldn't need to hide it.

And the most urgent task was to solve the poison first.

Su Yu was clear-headed. He stood up and walked toward the iron door in front of him. Inside the iron door was the maze the lion beast mentioned.

Su Yu walked into the iron door, the lion beast behind him saw him off, and the world behind the iron door looked a bit fantastic—

When Su Yu's eyes touched the maze inside, he could only think of this adjective to describe it.

What was separated were walls, and on the walls were purple plants intertwined together. These plants, like the theme of the Soul-Gathering Lamp, were all lingering with a feeling that made people feel gloomy and ominous.

Purple plants densely covered the entire wall. Besides vines, these plants also grew black flowers on the vines.

But in every flower, there was a dead, huge white insect. They were integrated with the flowers, which made people feel disgusted and terrified.

Su Yu's gaze stayed on the flowers for a long time. He leaned his face close to these flowers, thinking about what these things were actually used for, and according to the lion beast, he needed to pass through the maze to get to the sweet spring.

... But what was the purpose of setting up the maze?

Su Yu seemed to have anticipated something. He looked up at the top of his head and unexpectedly found that the sky here was completely black, like a bottle of spilled ink, thick and black.

But I don't know where the light came from to illuminate the surroundings. ===== CHAPTER 1025 =====
