This Demon-Locking Tower is extraordinary.

Whether it’s the murals on the walls or the trials and rewards on each level, they not only record the history of the Barbarian Realm but also have an inseparable connection with the Nine Ancient Bells.

Even the Daoist Zhaixin could possibly be involved. “This black tower is supported by a massive array. It can only manifest various evil demons with the help of the array. But to maintain the operation of the array, the required spiritual power… is astronomical.”

“So, if they run out of spiritual power, they kick us out?”

“When will it open again?” Su Shi had many questions.

His intuition told him that there probably wasn’t just one fragment in this black tower. However, the answer would have to wait until the next opening to be revealed.

At this moment, Wang Que came over and handed him the small black tower, saying, “Shengzi Su, this is for you.”

Su Shi frowned, “What do you mean by this?”

Wang Que said, “To me, having this harvest is an unexpected joy. As for this key… let’s entrust it to Shengzi Su for safekeeping.”

Wang Que received the infusion of spiritual power and directly broke through to a higher realm. From the late Foundation Establishment stage, he leaped to the early Golden Core stage! Under normal circumstances, Wang Que wouldn’t even dare to think of such progress.

And all of this was thanks to Su Shi’s help.

Su Shi shook his head, “You’ve only passed the first level. Compared to the opportunities that lie ahead, this gain is hardly worth mentioning.”

“I know.”

He said seriously, “But if it weren’t for Shengzi Su, I would have been a corpse a long time ago. What opportunities could I even talk about? Moreover, with my strength, I might not be able to keep this key safe.”

“Handing it over to Shengzi Su is the safest choice.” This was the truth.

If this thing fell into the hands of someone else, it would be a disaster.

Su Shi pondered for a moment, not pretending, and reached out to accept the key.

Wang Que let out a sigh of relief. In fact, there was another reason he didn’t mention.

The matter of the Beast Arena had deeply offended Bai Zhi. As fellow tribes of the Wilderness, Wang Que knew very well how terrifying the Eagle Tribe was. Although he narrowly escaped this time, Su Shi couldn’t possibly stay here forever.

Once he left, he would definitely be in a life-threatening situation. Whether he could survive until the next opening of the Black Tower was still a question.

Looking at Wang Que’s pale face, Su Shi’s mind was as clear as a mirror. He took out a piece of jade pendant from his storage ring.

“This is a Spirit Jade I refined using Scaled Dragon Bones. In times of crisis, inject your spiritual power into it, and it might save your life.”

Wang Que was stunned for a moment, then knelt down excitedly, “Thank you, Shengzi Su!”

Su Shi shook his head, “There’s no need for that. Consider it an exchange for your key.”

At this moment, the key (miniature tower) in his hand trembled slightly. Su Shi seemed to sense something, and he took out “Beautiful Landscape Painting.”

He unrolled it.

In the east of the Barbarian Realm, above the Death Ground of Black Absolute, clouds and mist slowly dissipated, revealing a small open area. It was precisely the region where the Black Tower was located.

This meant that Su Shi could bypass the dangerous outer area and directly traverse through the void to arrive here.

“It saved us quite a bit of effort.” Su Shi smiled.

This time, all of them gained quite a lot.

After going through the trials of the first two levels, Yu Ren’er not only broke through in realm, but her third fox tail also became completely solid. Her strength could be said to have achieved a qualitative improvement.

“I wonder if the Ancestor will scold me for being foolish again?” Yu Ren’er thought to herself.

After a brief rest, the three of them prepared to leave this place.

There was no trace of demonic aura around the Black Tower, as if it were a pure land separated from the deadly surroundings.

However, once they crossed the boundary, they would be engulfed by vast demonic aura. Even a slight carelessness could lead to death.

Standing at the edge of the pure land, Su Shi turned his head to look at the Black Tower.

He saw that the window of the fourth level was faintly open, as if someone was standing there, silently watching them.

But when he looked carefully, there was nothing there. Su Shi frowned slightly, lost in thought.

####

Green Hill Plains.

Yu Hongyin lazily leaned back in a chair, revealing her fair and slender legs beneath her dress.

A mirror hung in front of her, reflecting the images of Su Shi and the others.

“Being able to reach the fourth level on the first visit to the Black Tower?”

“Tsk tsk, truly worthy of being the Chosen One.” Yu Hongyin’s lips curled up slightly.

Then, as if lost in thought, her smile gradually faded, and she let out a sigh. “Old friend, for your persistence, I’ve waited here for hundreds of years. Finally, I see a glimmer of hope.”

“I hope that all of this is worth it.”

Looking at Yu Ren’er, who seemed as obedient as a young wife, Yu Hongyin shook her head.

“Look at her appearance, so worthless. She’s truly disgracing our fox clan.”

“But her strength isn’t that great, though her taste seems to be quite good.”

Su Shi, with a destiny to stand at the pinnacle of the myriad realms. Carrying the heavens’ fortune and inexhaustible potential, those around him will also rise with the momentum.

But still…

Why does this guy seem to be surrounded by women? “See, men are indeed no good.” Yu Hongyin shrugged her shoulders, with a look as if she had seen through the world’s vanity.

In the dense forest, three figures moved silently. The thick dew blocked the sunlight, and the visibility was less than five meters, making it difficult to discern the direction.

Wang Que’s face was pale, his breath slightly rapid. The demonic aura here was too dense. The lower the realm, the greater the impact. In order not to affect the two of them, Wang Que had been gritting his teeth all along. But his spiritual power was about to be exhausted.

At this moment, Su Shi stopped and handed him the first pellet.

“Eat this.” Wang Que didn’t hesitate, he took it and swallowed it directly.

The pellet melted upon entering his mouth, turning into a warm current that spread throughout his body. His dantian, which had been empty, quickly became full, and the color returned to his face.

“Thank you, Shengzi Su,” Wang Que expressed his gratitude. Sui Shi didn’t say anything, he looked around, his brows slightly furrowed. Yu Ren’er asked, “Brother Su Shi, why the frown?” Su Shi’s tone was solemn, “Don’t you all find it a bit too quiet here?”

Upon hearing this, the two could react.

Indeed, it was eerily quiet.

This was the Death Ground of Black Absolute, densely populated with savage beasts, danger lurking at every step.

But ever since they left the pure land, it had been half an incense stick’s time, and they hadn’t even heard a single beast’s roar.

It was so quiet that they could almost hear their own heartbeats.

“Something’s not right.”

Yu Ren’er furrowed her brows.

Crack.

It sounded like a branch had snapped behind them. The three turned around to look.

In the mist, a figure gradually appeared, walking slowly toward them.

As he approached, they finally saw his face. It was a man.

With waist-length white hair and dark red eyes, his appearance was no different from a human, yet his hands were twisted like tree roots, and his long nails almost touched the ground.

“So, you finally decided to show up.”

The white-haired man revealed a smile. His teeth were sharp and uneven, gleaming with a savage luster.

“It’s a savage beast!”

Yu Ren’er took in a sharp breath!
