Tribulation of Myriad Races-Chapter 1387: Special Entrance (3)

The space inside the door was akin to a locked room.

In the blink of an eye, Su Yu's group of three found themselves inside the room. Including them, a total of twelve Cloudbreaches had been pulled into the room.

With a curse, Langtu sent Su Yu and the blacktail sable a voice transmission, "Pretend we don't know each other. Toward the end, join hands and kill them all."

At that, Langtu charged toward a nearby enemy.

Su Yu started flapping his wings, evading the attack of another enemy. There was no need to say much in here. All of them had been forcefully dragged into the room. Thus, their best option was to kill everyone.

The space inside the door wasn't too large. Before long, all of them started fighting. Su Yu knew what to do. Instead of attacking, he focused on dodging. He wasn't using too much of his strength. He maintained a level of strength appropriate for Yifei and evaded one attack after another.

Meanwhile, desperate battles were erupting all around him.

With a roar, Langtu clawed a third-stage Cloudbreach to death.

The other seventh-stage Cloudbreaches did not even need to communicate with each other to reach an agreement that they should focus on Langtu. As a ninth-stage Cloudbreach, he was their priority target. Otherwise, he would be able to defeat them separately.

Su Yu looked desperate as he kept running all over the room. In truth, he was focusing on the battle and the door. He noted that the door was still tightly shut. Clearly, it would only reopen after a victor was decided.

With a frown, Su Yu wondered if that involved killing everyone or a mere victory was sufficient. He was unsure. He glanced at Langtu. If only one person could survive, wouldn't that make things awkward for Langtu? Or perhaps this was...Langtu's plan all along?

Both he and the blacktail sable were weaker, but they were good for filling the headcount of the door, reducing the number of opponents for Langtu.

Naturally, Su Yu had never believed that Langtu was sincere in helping them. What a joke. They weren't even close. They had only joined hands for the slots.

Suddenly, Langtu killed yet another enemy with a claw attack. His second head had actually turned solid as he said, "Yifei, sable, assist me!"

Twelve of them had been pulled into the room. Excluding the three of them, nine were strangers. Three had died so far, leaving six enemies for them to deal with. Five of the six were focused on fighting Langtu.

Su Yu said nothing and moved toward the blacktail sable and helped with the sole opponent who had not joined the attack against Langtu. No words were necessary. Everyone was focused on killing.

Wounds started accumulating on Su Yu's body. Eventually, he killed his opponent with a desperate attack. By then, he was already gasping heavily for breath.

The sable had also been seriously injured. Meanwhile, Langtu was showcasing an incredible level of strength. He had killed three of his opponents, forcing the two remaining opponents to flee in despair.

With wounds all over his body, including his heads, he roared, "Kill them!"

The sable ignored the order and sent Su Yu a voice transmission, "Yifei, will the door only reopen when only one survivor is left?"

Su Yu was unsure. Information was scarce since there were very few survivors among those who had entered through the special entrance. As for the survivors, they had always been very reluctant to share what they knew.

"I'm unsure..."

The sable said, "Be careful. Langtu might be scheming against us. He knows this place better than us. I suspect he has attempted the special entrance more than once."

Su Yu was of the same opinion. Langtu knew too much to be a first-timer like them. Perhaps he had simply failed to get a slot in the past. Despite their attempt to stay away from the fight, the two fleeing experts were charging toward them in desperation.

The room was simply too small. Escaping a strong enemy was almost impossible. One could only fight. Su Yu moved toward Langtu with no hesitation. Of the three, Langtu was the only one capable of defeating the two.

***

A few minutes later, only two survivors were left.

Su Yu and Langtu.

Su Yu was gasping heavily for breath, his body laden with wounds.

Langtu was similarly gasping for breath.

Noticing Su Yu's wary eyes, Langtu smiled and said, "Yifei, don't look at me like that. It's fine. I won't kill you. When all slots are filled, the tunnels to the mansion will open. I will enter and you...can focus on recovery. You're still young. It won't be too late for you to try again in the future."

Su Yu stared at Langtu silently. Was this guy taking him for a complete fool? At this point, he could already guess what Langtu's plan was. With two survivors, the door would remain shut. No other challengers would enter. That would save Langtu the effort of defending the door. Langtu might wait until all the other slots were secured before killing him to secure the final slot for himself.

At that thought, Su Yu said, "Brother Langtu, I am merely curious about one thing. If there are two survivors, the door won't accept more challengers. In that case, will multiple people be able to work together to secure a slot?"

He smiled and continued, "Or perhaps only one person is allowed to survive? Is that why nobody has ever talked about this? Everyone wants to keep this a secret to fool others into helping them. Brother Langtu, are you planning to keep me until the end before killing me? I believe many people have the same idea. But won't this result in everyone waiting for all the other slots to be secured before making a move, dragging things out indefinitely?"

Langtu looked at Su Yu with surprise and said, "Yifei, you misunderstand me. That is not the case. We only need to stay here for an hour to secure the slot."

Su Yu smiled, "Is that so? What will happen when the hour is up? Will you kill me?"

Langtu stared at Su Yu. He said, "Brother Yifei, this is truly a misunderstanding. If you doubt me, feel free to wait. When the hour is up, you will be allowed to leave."

Su Yu smiled. Sure. He didn't mind waiting.

If Langtu truly ended up trying to kill him, he could kill Langtu before stealing Langtu's identity. Yifei was too weak. It wouldn't make sense for him to secure a slot.

"Three-headed demon wolf bloodline..."

Su Yu muttered under his breath. That was a decent bloodline. As a ninth-stage Cloudbreach, Langtu was by no means a weakling. The slots offered by the special entrance did not seem too difficult to obtain. One only needed a bit of knowledge and luck and ,one might end up victorious even if one was a Skysoar. No wonder so many Skysoars would try their luck each time.

***

When the hour was nearly up.

Langtu started approaching Su Yu. The two looked at each other. Without any emotions in his voice, Langtu said, "You guessed right. There is no need to say anything else. Thank you for your assistance, Brother Yifei. Now, most of the slots are already secured. All the experts have secured their slots. After killing you, the door will continue pulling challengers in here. After three rounds, the winner will be determined. My apologies, Brother Yifei."

"I see." Su Yu smiled, "Am I here to buy you some time to recover?"

"Yes." Langtu smiled. Yifei was an injured first-stage iron-winged bird Cloudbreach with broken wings. This was an easy opponent for him.

One hour was enough for him to recover significantly from his injuries. Langtu did not waste any time. If he waited until the hour was up, the door would crush both of them. This was unknown to Su Yu, but he knew about this.

As Langtu's claws descended, Su Yu sighed, "I knew it. Nothing is ever free."

He did not bother to say more. Langtu would serve as a decent specimen for his book. A book appeared before Langtu.

"Three-headed demon wolf...I think I have such a page in here..."

He started flipping the pages. Before long, a page with the blood essence of a three-headed demon wolf appeared before him. With a smile, he looked up at Langtu and said, "Come on in."

First, Langtu was confused. Then, he was shocked. Finally, he was terrified.

An incomparably powerful three-headed demon wolf had emerged from the page. That was a Sunmoon wolf.

With one bite, Langtu was eaten.

Then, the Sunmoon wolf vanished alongside Langtu. Some new words appeared on the page.

Three-headed demon wolf race (hybrid), Ninth-stage Cloudbreach...

A hybrid.

Su Yu grinned before transforming into a wolf. As he sank his willpower into the page, numerous memories appeared in his mind. He started reliving Langtu's past.

At the same time, the door reopened. Soon, more challengers would be pulled inside. After three rounds, the victor would secure the slot. Courtesy of Langtu's memories, Su Yu soon found out about the fact that each battle must end within an hour or everyone inside might die.

"Looks like...the slot will be mine."

This was a good opportunity for him to collect some specimens. During the previous battle, Langtu had eaten most of the corpses. As for his coming opponents, they would all be recorded in his book.
