Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Escaping into the Demon Tower
In this dark forest, a spectacular long-distance race was under way. Leading the pack was an unlikely competitor, a skull, closely followed by a dozen players. Behind them, a large swarm of phantom monsters was noisily chasing the intruders.
Only a bone worm remained behind, unmoving.
The phantom monsters had left it behind... It began to look for the foul-smelling phantom wolf. If any wolf gave off the smell of stinky feet, it was finished!
While escaping, Su Ran started to blame the bone worm for drawing in so many monsters. How was he supposed to deal with this? He ran aimlessly, annoyed by the players who, despite all his twists and turns, were still hot on his heels.
Suddenly.
A towering demon tower appeared in Su Ran’s line of sight.
Su Ran exclaimed in shock. How did he manage to get here? He wasn’t even aware when he had left the dark forest. Turning his head, he saw that the swarm of phantom monsters had returned to their own territory after some time, yet these players were still chasing him relentlessly. They were going to be the death of him!
He immediately understood. These players had marked him as their prey!
Su Ran could only manage a wry smile. Since they had cornered him to this point, he might as well give the demon tower a shot!
Well, you cotton socks, step aside...
The little skull moved its legs and disappeared into the mysterious demon tower.
"Wow, how is this skull so abnormal? Not only can it outrun us, but it can also cross territories?" The chasing demon was extremely surprised. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
"Brother demon, this might be a special guiding monster. There must be some kind of plot in the demon tower waiting for us to trigger!" Wacky Logic explained naturally.
"Let’s move on in!" Demon was full of vitality as he became the first one to enter the demon tower.
"What do we do? The damn Dancing Demons guild has gone inside. Are we going in or not?" Bitter Gourd struggled, and then spat out a tinge of ferocity in his eyes, "Fortune favors the brave, let’s go!"
The Fruit clan’s team also followed the Dancing Demons, entering the demon tower.
Another team - a ragtag band of mostly solo players. They looked around at each other, then at the dangerous-looking demon tower, chickened out, disbanded, and each went their own way.
Inside the demon tower.
The little skull barged into the demon tower, nearly blinded by a crystal ball. This crystal ball shone like the blazing sun, emitting a dazzling light. Once Su Ran gradually adapted to the brightness on the first level of the demon tower, he found nearly twenty players were eyeballing him.
Well, this was a bit awkward...
Su Ran hesitated whether to leave or stay, he wished he could say: "Carry on, I’m just passing by..."
"Tsk~ another skull has spawned, It’d be great if a skull warrior appeared!" The players turned away disdainfully and continued to kill the skull warrior.
Makes sense, the skull warrior is a step up from the skull, huh?
Su Ran pretended to be a wild skull monster, moving awkwardly, but he soon blended into the horde of skull monsters.
Phew, it was a stroke of genius to name myself Skull!
With a sigh of relief, Su Ran started to secretly examine his surroundings.
The floor of the first level of the demon tower was paved with large bluestone bricks. In the center was a large stone tomb, with a fair amount of grass growing on it. Many wild skull monsters were aimlessly moving around this stone tomb, interspersed with a few skull warriors. The Skull General mentioned by the players was nowhere to be seen.
Su Ran took a deep breath, relieved. The first floor of the demon tower happened to be a spawn point for the undead skull monsters, so his sudden arrival didn’t look suspicious.
Suddenly.
Numerous players came flooding in. It was the teams from Dancing Demons guild and Fruit Clan.
All the players who had been leveling up stared, and a high-level warrior player stepped forward to confront these intruders.
"This area is under the control of the ’Tiger Supreme’ guild, no outsiders allowed!" The high-level player sneered at the intruders.
"Who the hell are you? Even daring to meddle in my affairs?" Demon laughed instead of getting angry, pointing to his head, "Gramps, see this? I belong to Dancing Demons guild! If you’ve got guts, try touching me!"
"Just because I’m the Wooden Fish." The warrior Wooden Fish had a extremely calm and serious face.
"Wooden Fish? You’re the younger brother of Withered Fish, the Guild Head of Tiger Supreme!" Wacky Logic was taken aback, and immediately tugged Demon’s sleeve to prevent him from provoking Wooden Fish any further.
"It’s an honor to meet you, didn’t expect you to be here. I’m an elite player of the Dancing Demons guild, Demon!" Demon raised his head when he mentioned this, quite proud, "I just had a duel with your brother in the Beast Tomb yesterday!"
"Never heard of it." Wooden Fish said unimpressed.
"You!" Demon was about to lose his temper, but Wacky Logic held him back and smiled at Wooden Fish, "My brother is a tad stubborn. You guys carry on, we’ll take our leave."
Wacky Logic dragged Demon out with a few other players from the Dancing Demons following them.
"Wacky Logic! How can you make such decisions on your own?" Demon was pissed, "Your actions have damaged the prestige of our Dancing Demons guild! What’s so scary about him!"
"Give me a break!" Wacky Logic snorted, "Didn’t you see how many players were here from their guild? They could easily kill us ten times over! Demon, a wise man doesn’t pick fights. Let’s plan the payback later!"
Demon paused, and with a grinding of his teeth, glared at the first floor of the demon tower, "Time will tell, Wooden Fish. Let’s go!"
And so, the Dancing Demons players returned to the Dark Forest and resumed their journey to level up.
...
"Boss Wooden Fish, I have a favor to ask." Bitter Gourd took a step forward, flattering Wooden Fish, "We are from the Fruit Clan. We’ve taken a task to kill 5 skulls right here. I hope you can be understanding, we will leave as soon as we finish, and won’t hold up much time!"
"Well..." Wooden Fish pondered for a moment and nodded, "You may only kill skulls and leave immediately once you’ve finished. Go ahead!"
"Thanks a lot, boss Wooden Fish, you’re a lifesaver!" Bitter Gourd signaled his group with a look, they instantly rushed towards the closest skulls.
At this moment, cold sweat ran down Su Ran’s face. What if he had just stood dumbfounded at the entrance earlier, how was he supposed to get past this level?
Fortunately, there was no ’if’. He had already blended into the horde of skull monsters.
Wintermelon Superhero and the others massacred the five skulls in front of them. However, nothing unusual seemed to happen. They were puzzled. Was it impossible? They had clearly seen the skull enter the demon tower!
Could it be... that this one skull was instantly killed by Wooden Fish the moment he entered the demon tower?
Damn, no such luck!
The players of the Fruit Clan bid farewell to Wooden Fish and hastily left this troubled site.
