Chapter 147: Ancient Power

Bunker, second floor.

The huge orange vortex, its scale was already three times larger than the other vortexes...

The number of people swallowed was also constantly increasing.

The news from the vortex escapee—Jia Baer—not long ago, caused everyone to have some worries about that orange vortex.

Although Albert felt that Evelyn's words made sense, perhaps it was just item uniqueness that caused the parchment to become a decayed object.

But in his heart, he was still extremely worried about Wen Xishu.

During this period, Albert did not choose to fight the white vortex, because teams had successfully eliminated the white vortex one after another.

Most of these teams had received some help and guidance from Wen Xishu before entering the vortex.

Albert knew very well that Wen Xishu was the number one person in the Mysterious Tower at the current stage.

Even if Wen Xishu died, there would not be a latecomer for a long time, and even if there were, they would at most surpass him in levels, but it would be difficult to replicate that kind of experience.

Albert certainly did not want Wen Xishu to die, but right now, that orange vortex was still constantly expanding... making Albert feel more and more that, could it be that this was another joke God was playing on him?

For so many years, how many geniuses had he seen? He had also held expectations for quite a few people, but these people all eventually died in the tower, or in the Great Devouring.

Could it be that this time it was the same?

But this old man, this time, did not seem to have such bad luck.

Just as he found it increasingly difficult to suppress the irritability in his heart, wanting to kill someone, and preparing to enter a certain white vortex...

Suddenly, someone exclaimed:

"My god, what am I seeing? Look quickly, everyone!"

This person was the first to speak.

Soon there was a chorus of exclamations:

"Did the sky fall down?"

"It's over! That vortex... fell down! That largest vortex! It fell down!"

"What is the situation? Will we be swallowed by the vortex!"

"Look! At the edge of the vortex, many red lights appeared!"

The huge orange vortex had originally hung high at the ceiling of the bunker, but now... in everyone's vision, the expansion speed of the orange vortex was crazily increasing.

But it was not that it was getting bigger... but that it was falling.

People watching this fall thought the vortex was going to swallow everything, but gradually, some people discovered that the red light at the edge of the vortex looked familiar.

Before Jia Baer returned to the bunker, there was also this kind of red light.

And in the next scene, the picture changed again...

After the huge orange vortex fell, the ground of the entire bunker's second floor seemed to be bathed in orange light...

This light made people unable to open their eyes for a while, but very soon, the light gradually faded!

"God, it's not going to swallow us! It is... dissipating!"

The person who spoke was none other than Jia Baer.

Jia Baer said excitedly:

"They are back! They are back!"

The red light fell, and unlike the dissipating orange light, after the red light scattered, a figure appeared.

As the orange light gradually dissipated, the line of sight was no longer light-polluted... more and more familiar faces appeared in the eyes of the people in the safe house.

Albert was overjoyed:

"Hahahaha! I said so, Evelyn, I said so!"

Evelyn laughed secretly, you old lunatic, you didn't say anything just now.

Yes, they were back.

In the safe house, soldiers who had fought the white vortex returned one after another; at this time, the safe house already had dozens of people again.

They did not immediately throw themselves into the next vortex after finishing the white vortex, but instead made summaries based on the last clearance experience. And they would rest for a sufficiently long time.

This was just like climbing a tower; no one would be like Wen Xishu, starting a new round of tower climbing immediately after finishing one.

Therefore, many warriors who survived from the vortex would stay in the safe house for a while, and in this process...

Dozens of people saw the fall of the orange vortex.

When they finally heard the old principal's bold laughter, they finally realized that the first orange vortex, also the most difficult and most violent vortex...

Had truly been eliminated!

Orange vortex eliminated!

The moment this shocking result appeared, everyone had a new understanding of the gold content of the three words "Wen Xishu"!

After all, for them, the process of attacking the white vortex was also quite dangerous; it was hard to imagine that there were blue, purple, and orange above it.

"It's too incredible! Although... I have always been looking forward to it, seeing such a scene for real is still too incredible!" Jia Baer said.

In the observation room, one could already see some familiar figures outside.

Although Wen Xishu was not seen at this time, Albert was no longer so anxious.

"Prepare to welcome them."

Actually, only six people attacked the orange vortex.

Although hundreds of red lights appeared in the vortex, most people were actually ordinary people sucked into the vortex.

Ling Fu, Ling Chen, Lang Haidu... these people eventually did not choose to head to the safe house. Heading to the safe house meant accepting Wen Xishu's invitation to head to the next orange vortex.

Most people's lives could not withstand two, or even one, madness.

Outside the safe house, after everyone successfully survived, they also marveled at the beauty of the orange vortex falling.

Some let out cries of surviving a disaster, and some sighed secretly... why didn't they have any highlight performance? How come they didn't seize one of so many opportunities?

Of course, more were joyful.

Not only were they joyful, but those who were outside the safe house, wandering in the gaps of the vortex, also marveled at the scene just now.

Xun Hui and Wen Renjing were like this.

Wen Renjing was originally still analyzing with Xun Hui where Xun Hui had made mistakes in the white vortex just now.

Xun Hui also accepted it humbly. Xun Hui was an extremely proud and upright person; in the bunker, he had done quite a few things that did not follow the procedure.

The death of the Third Bureau Chief was not the thing that disrespected the law the most that Xun Hui had done.

But such a person, facing Wen Renjing's guidance, could also perform very humbly.

"We only have two points of Magic Resistance, not omnipotent, you still have to cherish your life... although this is a white vortex, I hope you can have the caution of dealing with an orange vortex."

Wen Renjing was still very annoyed, why was this killing machine so rigid? But just after he finished speaking, Xun Hui, who had been humbly accepting criticism but likely would not change, suddenly raised his head:

"Jingzi, the orange vortex you mentioned... is it that vortex that is collapsing?"

Wen Renjing was a bit confused, but immediately felt the orange light spreading to the entire level.

He turned his head in surprise and witnessed the fall of the vortex with Xun Hui.

Before long, both of them knew what was going on.

Wen Renjing sighed:

"He is truly amazing... I am not as good as him."

Xun Hui said:

"Fortunately, I don't climb the Mysterious Tower, otherwise I wouldn't be able to accept being lectured by a junior."

Wen Renjing glared at Xun Hui angrily:

"Even if you climb the Slaughter Tower, there is nothing wrong with being cautious."

But if he were really climbing the Slaughter Tower, Wen Renjing actually knew very well that Xun Hui would be very cautious instead.

The topic of the two fell on Wen Xishu again.

"He did what everyone else couldn't do... I think, perhaps the fall of that vortex is just the beginning... we will see more vortexes fall." Wen Renjing said.

There was a faint joy on his face.

Xun Hui knew that Wen Renjing was in a very good mood now.

"We are not as good as him in the Mysterious Tower field, but it's best not to be lazy because of this. Let's go, it's time to kill the next vortex!" Xun Hui turned around and stopped looking at the gorgeous orange and red.

Wen Renjing nodded:

"Good."

Although there was a huge gap in climbing the Mysterious Tower, Wen Renjing and Xun Hui had no jealousy.

It was not that their respective tower climbing fields were different, but that they were both Albert's disciples, and they both knew that there would inevitably be a time when the three of them needed to unite in the future.

……

……

More and more people returned from the orange vortex.

But because everyone had different contact times with the guide, some returned slower, and some returned faster.

Wen Xishu was clearly the slower one.

He was still in that space full of doors and clocks, and a three-headed monster.

He did not delay time, because the Great Devouring was still continuing, so he reviewed his panel at the speed of light.

【Codename: Wen Xishu.】

【Slaughter Tower Level: 15. Slaughter Value Limit: 170.】

【Mysterious Tower Level: 29. Magic Resistance: 51 points.】

【Tower of Desire Level: 28. Luck Value: 48 points.】

【Sequence Slot Quantity: 3.

Owned Sequences: Strange Sequence 37: Mental Barrage. This sequence cannot be traded.

Slaughter Sequence 199: Limit Kick. This sequence can be traded.

Three Towers Sequence 35: Tower Power Extraction. This sequence cannot be traded.】

On the panel, one point that surprised Wen Xishu... there was almost no change. His Mysterious Tower level had not changed at all.

But the number of sequence slots had changed. From two to three.

Wen Xishu was a bit puzzled: "My mission completion degree should not be low, right?"

It was still the black strange head responsible for answering Wen Xishu:

"Of course, although you did not change the fate trajectory of any qualified person, you completed the entire event, and knew everything, and also obtained the inheritance from... uh, from... um."

Wen Xishu sneered:

"Stuttering there for half a day, isn't it Aries? Is there anything that cannot be mentioned?"

"If I were you, give me a current combat power ranking of the twelve constellations quickly, give me detailed information on the twelve people, and maybe I will promote you in the future."

The black strange head made a brand new smile:

"Huhu huhu huhu~ I dare not provoke these people, but we don't know much about them either."

"Because, those who can truly contact them are only a few people. So, it's hard to say, hard to say, better not say."

Wen Xishu did not dwell on it, he was used to it.

"Level six? Level seven?"

"Level six, I said, although it is a complete event, and inheritance was obtained, it does not involve the change of fate trajectory. However, your luck is quite good~" the guide said.

Wen Xishu was puzzled:

"How so?"

The guide continued:

"You have to know, before this... the mission you completed this time, no one else has challenged it."

Wen Xishu seemed to understand.

If others challenged it, it is very likely that others would die from opening the jars, but it is also possible... that they would unlock endings like "Shoe Girl resurrected" or "New Shoe Girl born."

If so, then the mission in this area would likely change. A group of people facing the Shoe Girl directly? Without the Three Towers Sequence to extract the Shoe Girl, that is almost like sending shoe-cleaning cloths to the Shoe Girl.

"After all, no one challenged the orange vortex, and the current number two person in the Mysterious Tower is said to be only at level 25, so I am not lucky... I was just born in a place full of tra..."

Wen Xishu thought about it, forget it, he still couldn't say that. After all—he was cheating.

"So what is my reward this time?" Wen Xishu said.

The guide shook his head:

"Very unfortunately, the reward this time will not be too rich, because you have already obtained... very critical power. Facilities are not provided during the Great Devouring."

Wen Xishu was a bit unhappy:

"Facilities not provided, experience didn't rise either... what's the meaning of this?"

The guide said:

"Experience is not that it didn't rise, but that your experience value is rising very slowly now. Indeed, every game has a time when you can level up by killing a chicken in the beginning, but that is short-lived."

"What's more... in such a huge mission with so many people, hehe, you played too orderly. Honestly, this is not quite like the previous you."

Wen Xishu froze.

He understood the guide's meaning, and also knew one point—the fewer the survivors, the more rewards obtained.

So... the mission with hundreds of people, actually dying until only a few people are left, is the highest profit.

Could Wen Xishu do it?

Of course he could. In a group of hundreds of people, but only he possessed high Magic Resistance... his words were imperial edicts.

It can be said that this mission, if Wen Xishu wanted to slaughter, he could completely kill everyone.

After all, the props opened from the jars, others did not know the attributes, and Wen Xishu could make it up randomly. Just like someone opened the key, but what the function of the key was, wasn't it up to Wen Xishu to say?

"This is not the first or second time I have done a mission. They trust me, I always have to give something back." Wen Xishu said.

The guide laughed: "Huhu huhu, as far as I know, you are not a person who trusts others easily."

Wen Xishu did not deny it:

"But I can distinguish when everyone's interests are common."

The guide did not talk about this topic anymore, it just said:

"You are starting to have concerns gradually, huhu huhu, but evil playstyles have evil playstyle rewards, and righteous playstyles also have righteous playstyle rewards."

"Although you don't have facility rewards this time, and your level hasn't changed, your performance is indeed the best among the whole team. For this kind of mission with so many people, evil has evil's playstyle and rewards, and righteous also has righteous's playstyle and rewards. You can check your props."

Wen Xishu then remembered that he actually had props.

God-Slayer's fingers.

In the mission area, the fingers could judge whether there were dirty things in the jars.

After being brought out of the dungeon, they turned into consumables. Swallowing the fingers could obtain "Spiritual Perception."

It was probably similar to the "resonance" he had when he met Tang Rui, which could help him find "special existences" in an area faster.

But honestly, after having the compass, Wen Xishu did not really need this ability, so he did not care much.

But when Wen Xishu checked his props... he was still taken aback.

"Why are there so many fingers?" Wen Xishu looked at the guide in surprise.

In Wen Xishu's prop column, finger x1, turned into finger x10.

Simply put, it turned from the God-Slayer's finger into the God-Slayer's hands.

"Before telling the story, let me tell you one point. When it involves a mission with so many people, the person who performs the best, according to their playstyle, can choose the lone wolf playstyle or the team leader playstyle. Your approach is the team leader playstyle."

"Although because you preserved everyone, the rewards for the entire mission were divided into hundreds of parts, although your reward share is also very high~ but it is far less than a lone wolf. However, the team leader has a correction."

"For example, this time, the props you obtained are directly ten times the original."

Wen Xishu nodded, thinking it was reasonable.

"It's a pity, it would be great if you gave me two hundred death row prisoners, all of whom are of bad character and morally corrupt."

Unknowingly, Wen Xishu had already placed many restrictions on himself regarding killing teammates.

The guide continued:

"Since you have obtained ten complete fingers... then I have to tell the next story."

"The first founder of the God-Slayer Church was named Arnold. Arnold's ten fingers all possessed Tower substance."

"But Arnold, and the witch you learned about in this mission, were actually not the earliest to come into contact with the Tower. And in later generations, there were others who came into contact with it."

"Their bodies are all props, all can be swallowed... consumables, are great supplements."

"They will activate a new mission route."

"Uh, let me give you an example. If you only swallowed one finger, then you would at most feel that your five senses have become a bit stronger, and your perception of special existences has been slightly improved."

"But if you swallowed ten fingers, then you could activate some new things. What exactly it is, I don't know either, huhu huhu, quantity leads to quality change~"

"Not just Arnold, in the future you will also encounter some ancient line missions, collecting the bodies of other Tower Power owners in non-apocalypse eras, their bodies are the same, perhaps they will bring you extra power."

"And, those ancient items, you can use the inheritance you obtained, which is Three Towers Sequence 35: Tower Power Extraction, to obtain Tower Power Value, that is very, very rare energy. You can understand it as an ultimate energy bar. Believe me, whether it is items or sequence ultimate moves, as long as they can be activated, they will greatly change your situation."

"Now, so, you can try swallowing them~ huhu huhu huhu~"

Wen Xishu looked at these ten fingers... he truly had no appetite at all.

He didn't expect that in order to become stronger, he would have to perform Zheng Zai's behavior.

"Can't I extract the Tower Power Value from them?" Wen Xishu really didn't want to eat.

"Of course not, the fingers are part of the body, they must be swallowed. Only props and items that have separated from the body can be extracted."

"Are you fucking lying to me? After I eat it, you'll go huhu huhu again and tell me it's okay not to eat?" Wen Xishu really didn't want to eat, to the point that he doubted the truth of the guide's words.

The guide shook his head helplessly:

"How could that be? How could I be that kind of person? The guide can choose to hide, but cannot lie when opening his mouth."

Wen Xishu looked at the ten fingers and asked again:

"Can't I choose... to cook them before eating?"

The black strange head was a bit speechless: "Please take it directly."

Wen Xishu took a deep breath and thought, to become stronger, one has to suffer a bit, right? Compared to climbing the tower, eating something disgusting seemed acceptable?

No... it seems climbing the tower is more acceptable.

Although he said so, Wen Xishu still chose not to dwell on it and swallowed the fingers, which had existed longer than the history of many countries, one by one.

This process was painful for Wen Xishu, and he longed for Zheng Zai's sequence more than once halfway through.

At least, when Zheng Zai ate things, he seemed to eat quite deliciously?

Originally at this time, Wen Xishu should have been escorted back to the bunker by a red light with others.

But the process of him eating the fingers was really delayed for too long.

After finally swallowing the ten fingers while feeling nauseous, Wen Xishu stared fixedly at the guide's face.

He swore that if he saw even a hint of a smile on the guide's face, he would beat the guide immediately.

Although he didn't know what consequences this would lead to.

But fortunately, the guide was very serious.

A prompt also appeared in Wen Xishu's mind.

【You have swallowed ten fingers in a row and will obtain the complete Arnold inheritance. God-Slayer Arnold spent his whole life dealing with various evil objects.

He had many powerful moves, but his disciples could never use them. For disciples without Tower Power Value, these moves seemed like miracles that only gods could activate.

For this reason, Arnold thought of many ways, but until his death, he finally completed it, only at that moment, he had no extra vitality to tell his juniors.】

【Obtained Ancient Rare Rune: Arnold's Energy Throttling Power.】

【Arnold's Energy Throttling Power: Rune, can be loaded into any Tower-series sequence. Rune effect: When activating sequence ultimate moves, Tower Power Value is halved, and there is a very low probability of not consuming Tower Power Value.】

Simple, crude.

Wen Xishu thought that powerful skills should be like some well-received Three Kingdoms-themed card game, the further you go, the longer the skill description, so long that novices can't understand it.

But he had to say that the rune obtained this time was truly incredibly powerful. Although the description was very simple and explained in one sentence, he still felt the terror of this rune.

"Tower Power Value is a consumable, and the acquisition channel is extremely scarce. If I don't experience ancient line missions, even if I have Tower Power Extraction, I can't extract it..."

This thing is not like life value or stamina value, which can slowly recover after being used up. Tower Power Value is gone once used, and you can only find ways to climb the tower to obtain it.

"But this sequence can actually halve the Tower Power Value?"

There was no doubt that Arnold was dead thoroughly.

If Arnold were alive, Wen Xishu absolutely believed that this God-Slayer of the ancient line must be a terrifying existence.

"How is it, are you satisfied with the mission reward this time?"

Three Towers Sequence 35: Tower Power Extraction, Ancient Rune: Arnold's Energy Throttling Power...

Everything was related to Tower Power Value. Wen Xishu had a premonition that he might soon be able to master the key to activating Tower Power Value ultimate moves.

"It's passable." Wen Xishu was of course satisfied, but he wouldn't say so in his mouth.

He waved his hand:

"I still have to return to the bunker to continue solving the Great Devouring. By the way, if the Great Devouring is completely solved, will I have any rewards?"

"See how you solve it, huhu huhu." The guide did not say more.

Wen Xishu did not like to play with riddle-makers either, and immediately said:

"Fine, goodbye. I think we will see each other soon."

……

……

Bunker, outside the safe house.

Although Wen Xishu did not return, because Xiao Jin, Yue Ni Sen, and A Miao had all witnessed the whole process, after explaining it clearly, Albert was not worried.

It was just that Albert stood up several times halfway through:

"Why hasn't he returned yet?"

It was rare to see someone who made this old legend so concerned.

Upon learning that the orange vortex had been completely resolved and the Shoe Girl killed, Albert took a group of people to the outside of the safe house, waiting for Wen Xishu.

The process of waiting was the process of Wen Xishu swallowing fingers.

Fortunately, just before the orange halo was about to dissipate completely... the last red light finally appeared.

Wen Xishu appeared in everyone's sight.

Albert's hearty laughter sounded instantly, and cheers erupted in the crowd. Although only a day or so had passed...

But there was no doubt that those elites of the Security Bureau and the elites of the Gambling Stone Society, looking at Wen Xishu again, had changed again.

At the same time, Wen Xishu said:

"Why is everyone outside?"

"Because you didn't come for a long time, everyone was worried about you." Wang Yueyun said.

Wen Xishu wanted to explain the reason why he didn't come, but his brain thought of the scene of swallowing fingers first, and his face changed immediately.

Albert patted Wen Xishu on the back:

"Well done, do you know, the elimination of this huge orange vortex greatly encouraged the warriors of the bunker. In the process of you eliminating the orange vortex, more than thirty white vortexes were eliminated, and four blue vortexes were eliminated."

"Eh, why do you look not so good? Are you too tired?" Albert said.

Wen Xishu's face was indeed not so good, because he had eaten something not very clean.

"Let's go, principal, and everyone, let's head to the safe house first."

Wen Xishu's return made the atmosphere in the safe house high.

The Great Devouring could not be solved in a day or two, and every Great Devouring required a long battle.

Everyone actually thought that at this time, even if Wen Xishu went to the third floor, fourth floor, or even higher levels to receive commendations, or hold a celebration banquet, it would be reasonable.

But Wen Xishu said: "Ni Sen, Wang Yueyun, Xiao Jin, are you three still willing to be together? Do you need to rest?"

"If you don't need to rest, then come over and study this second largest vortex together. I think getting rid of this vortex, combined with the attacks of other warriors on the white and blue vortexes..."

"The progress of dismantling the Great Devouring should be greatly improved."

Many people actually had not witnessed Wen Xishu's madness in climbing the tower. So they didn't quite understand Wen Xishu's rhythm.

Wang Yueyun and the three had witnessed it long ago.

But others were a bit surprised.

Because from returning to the bunker to now, Wen Xishu asked one sentence "Why is everyone outside," and then arranged for everyone to enter the safe house, and immediately started the next vortex.

This efficiency made everyone very surprised.

He had just experienced a nine-deaths-and-one-life orange vortex... didn't he need to rest?

Wen Xishu ignored the surprise of others.

It was just like many missions, although there were seven days, Wen Xishu felt that most missions could be solved in two to three days, why drag it out?

So the Great Devouring was the same. If it could be completed in ten days or half a month, don't drag it to a month to complete.

Wen Xishu said: "Currently the most restless vortex... um, it seems that except for the vortex just now, other vortexes are quite restless, a day has passed, and not many people have been sucked in."

On the one hand, it stems from the fact that people have completed level transfers within a day. On the other hand, the vortex also has its own personality.

Wen Xishu said:

"Then choose this vortex that is currently the largest."

Wen Xishu pointed to one of the remaining eight vortexes, although compared to the first vortex, it looked very small, but relatively speaking, it was also the largest one.

And the information of the vortex had been analyzed. Everyone was not unfamiliar; they had seen it not long ago.

【Maze Train, Level: Orange.】

【Recommended Magic Resistance: 40 points.】

【Recommended Number of People: 1-4 people.】

It is worth mentioning that because the vortex swallowed some people in this process, these people had become a part of the nourishment...

Also causing the difficulty of the vortex to fluctuate slightly.

The recommended Magic Resistance, although still 40 points, the recommended number of people became 9 to 16 people. And inside this vortex, besides those who had already died, there were still some bunker people struggling to survive.

Wen Xishu thought in his heart... these people might be able to provide information, and some people who had already died might also be able to help himself and give some information.

"No problem, right? If there is no problem, let's set off now." Wen Xishu said.

Less than three minutes after coming in, he was going to start clearing the next vortex. Evelyn felt that this kid really had a kind of "madness," seeming even crazier than Albert.

It looked like Wen Xishu did not intend to change the current team configuration.

Wang Yueyun nodded:

"I have no problem."

Ni Sen smiled:

"Then I must also contribute to the bunker!"

Xiao Jin of course would not retreat either.

With these three, Wen Xishu felt that his safety had a most basic guarantee. The combat talents of the three were all top-notch.

Wen Xishu looked at A Miao and Zheng Zai again:

"No problem, you two?"

A Miao nodded: "No problem!"

A Miao was the luck representative; although Wen Xishu did not rely on luck, having a mascot, he couldn't not bring her.

Zheng Zai stood at attention and said:

"No problem at all! Younger brother!"

A Miao covered her mouth and chuckled; this Zheng Zai was really interesting.

Wen Xishu said seriously:

"Then let me analyze it simply. The information given by the mission introduction is that finding the 16th carriage counts as our victory..."

"But since the train is called a maze. It can be seen that the order of the carriages might be strange, or it might be... that we will always stay in the first carriage."

"According to the information, the first carriage is the most important, so as much as possible, we must obtain enough information in the first carriage."

"I guess, perhaps every carriage is the same, but this is the Great Devouring of the Mysterious Tower, and it must hide a lot of strange content."

"So you must be careful. Observe more, remember more!"

"I won't exhort the rest. Everyone is the person I trust the most."

Don't steal the limelight, don't act on your own without authorization, don't touch or touch randomly... Wen Xishu did not need to say these things to his teammates.

These people were the teammates Wen Xishu thought were the most tacit at the current stage.

"Do you all understand? Is there any problem?" Wen Xishu asked finally.

"No problem!"

The five people said in unison.

"Good! Set off!"

After Wen Xishu entered the house, he didn't even drink a sip of water and set off directly.

The whole process did not exceed fifteen minutes.

When Wen Xishu and the others left the safe house, the house was silent.

Jia Baer actually wanted to say... take me with you.

But Wen Xishu did not seem to intend to expand the team in the second mission.

Evelyn broke the silence first:

"Albert, we should set off too."

Albert nodded:

"Let's go, beautiful lady."

Perhaps it was infected by Wen Xishu, encouraged by Wen Xishu's efficiency of doing things without any waste of words...

One after another, those teams that planned to rest for a while began to speed up the rhythm and quickly adjusted their combat and rest strategies.

Before long, several more teams started fighting.

……

……

Outside the safe house.

Albert and Evelyn walked along the gaps of the vortex and headed toward a white vortex.

Evelyn said:

"I know the past of that child. Actually... Albert, I don't want to hide it from you, those few people are also staring at him."

"You should have read that confidential document, the highest level of confidentiality, about Wen Zhaohua creating slaughter in the Tower of Desire. This actually... was still discovered by me."

Albert nodded:

"I know, you descended the Tower of Desire."

Contacting the guide can lower the level you can currently challenge, but this comes at a price.

Evelyn said:

"I use this to show that I don't want to compete for the top. But because of this, through some anchoring of fate trajectories, I learned a terrifying thing."

"Wen Zhaohua made many incredible moves. He is your disciple. You should know what I am talking about."

"The constraints of the Three Towers rules on him seem not to exist."

"Wen Zhaohua is also the previous number one person in the Mysterious Tower. The Mysterious Tower is the last tower to appear. We don't know what's in it either."

Albert laughed:

"My lovely Evelyn, your words are as gentle as your personality. Actually, you can be more straightforward."

Evelyn said:

"I want to know, does this child Wen Xishu have powerful abilities himself, or is it truly as... they think, Wen Zhaohua obtained some kind of supreme treasure?"

Albert said:

"Then before answering this question, I also have a question I want to ask you, Evelyn. In what capacity, or from what standpoint, are you asking this question?"

Evelyn was silent for a moment:

"I am asking as a friend."

Albert said:

"If it is as a friend, then I hope you can, like Xun Hui, Wen Renjing, and even me, first obtain Wen Xishu's recognition."

"If he can recognize you, I don't mind telling you my inner guesses."

Evelyn said:

"You want me to help him?"

Albert laughed:

"Perhaps, he would be more willing to be friends with the number one person in the Tower of Desire. And more willing to understand the secrets of the upper levels of the Tower of Desire."

Evelyn and Albert had already entered the vicinity of the vortex to be cleared. Evelyn sighed lightly:

"I will investigate this matter slowly. But I will still tell you that I am asking as a friend."

Albert didn't care:

"I once had many friends, but later some died, some had differences with me, it doesn't matter, Evelyn."

"Wen Xishu can die in the Great Devouring, can die in the process of climbing the Mysterious Tower, but if he dies in the bunker, I will blood-wash the bunker."

Evelyn was slightly moved, and after being silent for a little while, Evelyn said:

"Albert, actually I have always been afraid."

"Afraid of what?"

"Afraid that you and I will truly grow old, and new legends will replace old legends. Don't you feel... afraid? A newcomer, shining like a star, even covering you with light, don't you really feel that you are no longer important?"

Albert laughed loudly:

"Hahahaha, Evelyn, so you really are old. I am not like you."

There was light in Albert's eyes:

"No matter how amazing the latecomers are, it will not affect me becoming the first person to break through the hundredth floor. My existence is irreplaceable."

Evelyn was a bit dazed. This old man was already so old, yet he still had seemingly endless passion.

……

……

Orange Vortex No. 2.

Unknown place in the Mysterious Tower.

The scene outside the window, as the train sped along, constantly receded.

Wang Yueyun suddenly opened his eyes, only to find that there was no familiar person beside him. This gave Wang Yueyun a big shock.

He observed his surroundings; there were quite a few people in this carriage...

But all his partners were gone.

Wang Yueyun secretly thought: Terrible...

The starting points of the Maze Train are not just one; is everyone not in the same carriage?

Wang Yueyun immediately felt cold sweat on his forehead.

He immediately closed his eyes, but no prompt appeared.

Wang Yueyun stood up. There were seventeen rows of seats in the carriage, scattered, some seats had people sitting, some seats were empty.

The salesperson on the train was pushing a small cart, shouting. Some people were whispering, some people had their eyes wide open, and some people were observing their surroundings from time to time...

After Wang Yueyun finished looking, he was sure—

In every row of seats, they were strangers, people he had never seen before.

Overall, it seemed that there was nothing abnormal in this carriage.

But upon closer inspection, it seemed to have a bit of weirdness.

Wang Yueyun quickly calmed himself down:

"No matter what, Wen Xishu said, observe the first carriage first..."

The lack of Wen Xishu made Wang Yueyun feel a bit panicked, but he also developed some fighting spirit in his heart.

……

……

Wen Xishu did not know what the old principal and his old lover from his youth were talking about. He had just opened his eyes.

He discovered that on the train, he did not have any teammates.

The first thing he thought of was that the starting points of all teammates were different... which was somewhat similar to the previous Wind City zombie mission.

He was not panicked, just a bit worried, worried that without himself, his teammates would not be able to handle it.

However, Wen Xishu was not in a hurry to find his teammates either. He had to think about the strategy first—starting from his new round of support.

Entering the new vortex, Wen Xishu's Scorpio cheating knife, as well as the Dice of Reversal, also had new effects.
