How could she know that?
(╯￣д￣)╯
While Mingxi and the others were analyzing A Lei Jie's group of four, A Lei Jie's group finally realized that Mo Ci's earlier judgment wasn't just paranoia!
The four people ahead were indeed faster than them.
But—
"How is this possible?" fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
A Lei Jie and Sheng Le looked bewildered and horrified.
"How can anyone move faster than us in this Tower Killing? Do they also have a God-Shattering Jade on them?"
God-Shattering Jade was a treasure that could greatly suppress the killing moves of the Tower Killing.
Named a jade, it was actually the skull of a Transcendent creature, but it had been completely jade-ified through special methods, and then, using a certain secret realm, it had naturally evolved into a rule-based item.
You Hu coldly retorted, "Absolutely impossible. God-Shattering Jade isn't common like cabbage."
Mo Ci agreed, "Indeed." freewēbnoveℓ.com
Unlike A Lei Jie and Sheng Le, she and You Hu, as important members, were very clear about the manufacturing process of God-Shattering Jade.
They also knew that if the God-Shattering Jade fell into the hands of someone who didn't understand its true nature, it would definitely be a curse, not a blessing, for that person.
"So what's the situation with these four people? It can't be that their strength is so overwhelmingly powerful that they can ignore even the killing moves of this Tower Killing, right? The Tower Killing is a dangerous place that even top Beast Tamers fear!"
A Lei Jie's brows furrowed into three folds.
"There must be another reason!"
You Hu thought of his purpose for entering the Wanmo Territory this time, the matters his elder brother had instructed, and the various rumors about that person.
He squinted his eyes, looking towards the mountain peak.
Is there a possibility that one of these four people is that person?
Could it be such a coincidence?
But according to the intelligence his elder brother had obtained, that person's destination was very likely Wangyue Lake.
And to enter Wangyue Lake, one must pass through the Tower Killing.
So, is it really impossible?
A cold glint flashed in You Hu's eyes; indecisiveness was not in his character.
Since he suspected, he would confirm it!
"Tsk!"
Mo Ci, who had been secretly peeking at You Hu, saw a pea-sized, greenish-black flame, like ghost fire, ignite within the jade skull in his hand!
Holy cow!
This person was indeed crazy enough to easily ignite the God-Shattering Jade just like that.
This was a precious rule-based item!
Just like that, it was ignited!
Mo Ci pouted, muttering softly, "What a wasteful fellow!"
You Hu heard it but only gave him a warning glare.
"Full speed ahead!"
The moment the ghost fire ignited, You Hu shot out towards the mountain peak like an arrow. Mo Ci didn't want to be left behind, so he followed with quick eyes and even quicker feet.
If he was too far from the God-Shattering Jade, he wouldn't receive its protection.
Although A Lei Jie and Sheng Le didn't understand the meaning of igniting the God-Shattering Jade, they subconsciously followed.
Afterward, the group of four sped upwards like a strong wind tearing across the horizon, moving at an incredibly fast pace.
During the process, they encountered no more killing moves.
It was ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) as if these pale bone steps were just ordinary stairs.
All the life-threatening dangers had vanished.
"Damn! What's going on?"
Chu Fengfeng was startled, her peripheral vision catching sight of the four rapidly approaching figures below.
Mingxi and the other two turned their heads simultaneously and also saw the rapidly expanding black dots.
"They're not here for good; they must be trying to catch up to us, so they've used some kind of method!"
Lin Chen's judgment was no worse than Mingxi's.
He looked at Mingxi, "What should we do? At their current speed, it's only a matter of time before they catch up to us."
"There's no immediate solution. We can only climb the steps step by step, but they are Celestial Dragons." Mingxi glanced at the mountain peak, which was still over two thousand meters high.
Given the current speed difference between them, even if they climbed with all their might, they would definitely not be able to avoid them.
Although she had lost a large number of defensive items in the Reverse God Ruins, with the two great treasures, Emerald Green and Red Jade, and her own cooperation, her empty spatial items had actually been replenished.
However, she did not have any treasures in her possession that could make the Tower Killing 'favor' them.
Chu Fengfeng asked curiously, "Celestial Dragons?"
"They are powerful individuals of noble birth, whose very strands of hair are treasures."
"That's quite an apt description." Chu Fengfeng propped her chin.
"Then we can only meet force with force. Everyone, get ready for battle!" Lin Chen steered the conversation back from going off-topic.
Mingxi nodded, "Since we can't avoid it, we can only fight. However, the other party doesn't seem to be affected by the Tower Killing, while we have to be constantly on guard..."
Caught between two fires, even a lion would stumble.
Lin Chen's eyes deepened, "Yes, it's best to find a way to equalize the advantages between us and the enemy, otherwise, it's too disadvantageous for us."
"Xiao Xi, do you still have any Xiao Si Golden Bells? Can you throw a hundred or a thousand down?"
Chen Xin boldly suggested.
Mingxi: "..."
(-‸‶)
Guangguang was excited, "Wow, big sister is so fierce, I like her so much."
The most difficult thing to bear is this sudden flirtatiousness.
Mingxi's face darkened:
"Forget Xiao Si Golden Bells, I even have Dean Si Jinling, but if we use such heavy firepower items, are you sure we won't screw ourselves over?"
If the Tower Killing were just an ordinary dangerous place, it would be fine to blow it up.
But it is very likely to be the hai yue devouring bone, a terrifying entity of divine-level Transcendent power with a conscious existence.
Using Xiao Si Golden Bells or Dean Si Jinling could very likely incur the retaliation of the hai yue devouring bone.
At that time, their small bodies would definitely not be able to withstand it.
The risk would definitely be higher than the reward.
It was a bad move.
"...It seems a bit dangerous. Can we use potions then? Poison them?"
Mingxi shook her head, "Definitely not, Chen Xin Jie, did you forget?
Any bone steps we've walked on, no matter what traces we left on them before, those traces will disappear once we pass through.
So, whether it's potions or items, if they're thrown down and touch the bone steps, they'll definitely be refreshed away."
Saying that, Mingxi threw a piece of compressed biscuit, which had been gnawed by Bright Crystal, onto the bone step they were on.
Sure enough, in less than a second.
The compressed biscuit vanished without a trace, not even a crumb left.
"Oh, right, how could I forget? This ghostly place is very strange."
Chen Xin sighed.
Mingxi, however, said, "What if we suddenly push them down the steps? Will they also be treated as foreign objects and be refreshed away?"
The three of them paused, "They definitely would, there's information about that, but they'll surely be on guard."
On guard?
Then find a way to make them unable to avoid it even if they are on guard!
As the four spoke, the four figures rapidly advancing below gradually became visible, no longer just black dots.
"Two males and two females. From their running speed, all four of them are quite strong, but there shouldn't be any SSS-level Beast Masters."
Lin Chen quickly assessed the general situation of the approaching individuals.
Mingxi squinted, flickering light points in her vision, "The man leading them seems to have something in his hand; it should be the item that allows them to move unimpeded in the Tower Killing."
"I wonder what kind of item it is that can suppress this terrifying Tower Killing? I really want to snatch it!" Chu Fengfeng was quite curious.
