Mingxi: "Have you heard of the Dunyi Tower? It's also known as the Universe Tower, a special existence that travels through various spaces, sensing and absorbing metal energy to strengthen itself."
She pointed towards the valley entrance: "Now it has appeared, right ahead. At the speed it connects spaces, we probably won't be able to pass through now."
Lin Chen and the other two finally realized the seriousness of the problem.
"8 minutes and 22 seconds left."
In 8 minutes and 22 seconds, it would be a full hour since they entered Thousand Aperture Exquisite Valley. By then... avalanches, the river valley turning into a large river, beast tides...
"Whack."
Chen Xin slapped Chu Fengfeng on the back of his head, "I told you to stop jinxing us!"
"Are you going to die if you don't show off?"
Chu Fengfeng felt extremely innocent.
According to Xiao Xi, the Dunyi Tower should have appeared before he got carried away, so how could he be blamed for jinxing it?
He was more wronged than Dou E!
"Alright, time is limited. Let's prepare to deal with this first."
Lin Chen was a man of action. Since things had already happened, what was the use of assigning blame? Solving the problem was the right way.
"Little Mole, how long would it take to build a simple underground fortress on the spot?"
They couldn't advance, couldn't retreat, and flying was forbidden at high altitudes. All their escape routes were blocked, so they could only bury themselves on the spot.
Little Mole was the name of the Di Gou Mole. Lin Chen, that Steel Body straight man, named his own pet beast ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) like this, completely unoriginal.
"Di Gou."
At least half an hour.
A fully functional underground safe fortress would require at least a day, or even longer, but now they were clearly cornered. They could only simplify the process as much as possible, aiming to hide for as long as they could.
"What if Bright Crystal, Emerald Green, Exploding Scale King, and Vanilla Fairy fully cooperate with you?"
Bright Crystal is Rock-type, Emerald Green and Vanilla Fairy are Grass-type, and Exploding Scale King is Ground-type, all capable of assisting with digging and construction.
The Di Gou Mole frowned, seemingly deep in thought.
"Di Gou."
20 minutes?
Although it was still severely over budget, they could only go with it for now.
Once the avalanche occurred, the valley would become a raging river. According to the information provided by Yuan Qing, various man-eating wild Transcendent creatures would appear by then.
Even if they were Iron Man, they couldn't guarantee they wouldn't get hurt.
It would be hard not to die then.
"Alright!"
Although things were getting ridiculous, they could only console themselves: "Good things come to those who wait, and after suffering comes joy!"
The simple mobile castle quickly disassembled, and the pet beasts assigned to the engineering team began working with great enthusiasm.
Lin Chen, Chen Xin, and other pet beasts cooperated with Hanguo to blast all nearby holes.
Meanwhile, Mingxi took Red Jade, Chu Fengfeng, and his Steel-type pet beast Steel Blade Mantis to the periphery of the Dunyit Space. The tearing, empty dotted line had expanded to hundreds of square meters, revealing the familiar metal giant tower within the Different Space.
"Does the appearance of the Dunyi Tower here mean there's a large amount of special metal here?"
"Ye He."
Red Jade nodded in agreement.
Mingxi stroked his chin, "Could it be related to that legend? The god-level Transcendent creature Fei Min Ellis died on Linglong Mountain peak, and his bones eventually transformed into a mountain-splitting blade that split Linglong Peak in half.
If the legend is true, then that mountain-splitting giant blade should be submerged at the bottom of the valley.
Is the Dunyi Tower here for it?"
Chu Fengfeng touched his nose, cautiously saying, "I think your analysis, Xiao Xi, is very reliable."
Mingxi looked at him like that, somewhat amused, "Phoenix Uncle, what I just said was just a tease, I don't really think it's your fault."
"Cough, I know."
Chu Fengfeng certainly knew Mingxi wasn't truly blaming him.
"Actually, besides disrupting our plans, this isn't entirely a bad thing. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Every part of this Dunyi Tower is pure Steel-type energy.
It can be absorbed by Steel-type pet beasts, not only accelerating the increase of their energy values, but most importantly, it can also improve the quality of their Steel-type energy, meaning evolving from ordinary energy attributes to extreme or even pure."
The Dunyi Tower is a completely unfamiliar term to many Beast Tamers. Even if they've heard the name, only a handful have actually seen it or know its significance.
Even Chu Fengfeng, who came from the Chu family and was a member of the Jinhui Group, was actually hearing about the existence of the Dunyi Tower, this rare treasure of heaven and earth, for the first time.
Naturally, he wouldn't know what benefits Transcendent creatures could gain from the Dunyi Tower.
"Red Jade, Steel Cannon, you two prepare. Once the space connection stops, you immediately jump down."
Steel Cannon was the name Chu Fengfeng gave to his Steel Blade Mantis. Although it had a name that sounded explosive, it was actually a silent and aloof pet beast.
"Ye He."
Red Jade, having had one experience, was quite composed.
The aloof Steel Cannon hesitated for a moment but still nodded seriously.
Chu Fengfeng craned his neck, sticking his head out to look at the dark space below, and immediately felt a powerful mental Impact.
If Mingxi hadn't pulled him back in time, he probably would have fallen.
"Be careful, Dunyit Space is a hyper-dimensional space. There is only Steel-type energy within the space. Besides Steel-type Transcendent creatures, other Transcendent creatures and Beast Tamers who fall in will only find death."
"I know. Then let's stay further away. I feel dizzy and uncomfortable just standing here."
Cherish life, stay away from Dunyi.
Mingxi nodded, retreating several steps with him.
Before long, the space connection stopped, and Red Jade, without hesitation, jumped into the dark, oppressive space first.
Steel Cannon was not a timid pet beast either; it followed closely and jumped down.
As they fell, the dark Dunyit Space seemed to light up.
Aside from the rectangular tall tower that glowed on its own due to energy convergence, the two pet beasts also shone blindingly like light bulbs.
To be safe, in case of unforeseen circumstances, Mingxi had them take Moon Solitude Potion in advance.
Mingxi peeked in, and Red Jade, brighter than a light bulb, was like a motor was attached to his legs. His long legs churned like a whirlwind, approaching the Dunyi Tower at super speed.
Then, as if possessed by Bright Crystal, he climbed nimbly upwards.
By the time Steel Cannon finally reached the vicinity of the Dunyi Tower, he had already successfully climbed to the top of the tower. He activated his 【Steel Body】, turning his entire body into metallic liquid, and began to absorb furiously.
At this moment, he particularly envied Bright Crystal. If he also had a unique skill like Devouring the Heavens and Earth, he could swallow the entire Dunyi Tower.
Steel Cannon knew time was limited and didn't climb to the top of the tower like Red Jade, but instead directly embraced the tower wall.
Although Mingxi had just said that the metal energy at the top of the tower was the highest level, providing greater benefits to them.
"Crack, crack—!"
The ground suddenly cracked open with a huge fissure.
