After writing that message on the message board, Ye Bai ignored the potential consequences and continued forward.

However, Ye Bai would consciously collect purified water along the way.

Besides the giant lizard, Ye Bai also encountered a dying miner.

Most of the other person's body was crushed under the boulder, their legs were crushed, and only a small part of their body remained outside.

The Eye of Insight warned Ye Bai that the environment here was protected by eternal rules and could not be destroyed.

The miners asked Ye Bai for help, requesting some purified water.

Ye Bai gave the miner a bottle capful of water, which the miner treasured and drank in one gulp.

"Are you looking for Medusa's husband?"

The miner sighed, "It's not his fault, really. He didn't need to do all this for everyone; it was too dangerous."

Huh?

Ye Bai narrowed his eyes slightly. This story was different from the version he had heard.

According to Medusa, her husband went deep into the mines to earn money to buy her medicine.

However, when Ye Bai entered the tunnel, his Eye of Insight clearly indicated that "this is a long-abandoned tunnel"!

Mining in abandoned mines is a very strange thing in itself.

Moreover, judging from the miners' words, they didn't seem to be mining; they seemed to be running for their lives!

There must be a hidden story behind this!

The problem might lie with Medusa!

A woman weeping behind a pile of stones...

Finally, the miner told Ye Bai some valuable information.

“Our companions are ahead, but I’m stuck here, so I let them go first.”

They told me that we would leave marks as we moved forward: triangles for safety, circles for the unknown, and crosses for extreme danger!

They haven't been gone long. If you can find them, it might be helpful.

After bidding farewell to the miners, Ye Bai continued forward and soon arrived at the nineteenth square.

[Warning: Giant python sighted ahead, watch out for thunder!]

"After walking for so long, we've finally met the BOSS again."

Ye Bai glanced at the time.

12:21.

He has been in the Eternal Tower for 21 minutes, and his current exploration progress is 18%.

Compared to others, Ye Bai's progress is nothing short of miraculous!

If it weren't for the need to gather more clues and reconstruct the truth of the story as much as possible, Ye Bai's progress speed could have doubled!

"Giant python, petrification...it feels like it involves some kind of mythology."

Medusa?

Without much thought, Ye Bai had already filled the square with his own power and was ready to go, so he directly rushed into the next square.

"Heavenly Thunder!"

The enormous python didn't even have time to make its appearance before it was struck by a bolt of red lightning. The lightning entered from the top of its head, passed through seven inches, and exited from its tailbone, leaving no cell untouched.

The entire body turns to ash, and is disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner.

"Slay the Mine Python (LV.18), experience points +20."

Ye Bai rolled his eyes. That's so stingy!

The Eternal Tower's empirical judgment features a flexible and intelligent compensation mechanism.

Killing monsters of the same level grants 100% experience points.

If you kill someone of a higher level, you will gain extra experience points.

Similarly, Ye Bai is currently level 26. If he kills a level 18 BOSS, he will only get 20 experience points, which is better than nothing.

It is precisely because of the experience mechanism that Wanjia cannot level up by defeating weaker opponents.

As you progress, the monsters become increasingly powerful, making leveling up more difficult.

"No wonder everyone rushed into the Eternal Tower like crazy when the server-wide buff was applied before."

"By using powerful buffs to grind monsters, you can quickly level up and cross the threshold..."

Ye Bai kicked at the dust on the ground, but found nothing, and sighed.

"What kind of poor boss is he? He's not even left with a trace!"

A notification popped up on the ashes:

The most valuable part of the python was its skin, but as you can see, it's all turned to ash now.

"Remind me earlier next time something like this happens. We need to be thrifty and not wasteful. Snake skin isn't money!"

With that, Ye Bai took a step and walked towards the next square.

The twentieth square,

The familiar message board reappeared, and Ye Bai couldn't wait to open it, wanting to see what his seniors were showing off at this time.

[Nightmare: Killing the boss in 3 seconds, please break the record!]

He not only left a message, but also attached a customs clearance verification information.

"Nightmare killed the mine python in 3.86 seconds."

This person is so shameless!

Ye Bai couldn't help but complain, "You've gone from 3 seconds to almost 4 seconds!"

Continuing to scroll down, the familiar name appeared once again:

[Wuhen: How come someone can't even kill the boss in 1.48 seconds? No way, no way.]

Goodness, he's got the makings of a seasoned yin-yang master right off the bat!

Ye Bai greatly admired Wuhen's courage.

According to historical records, Nightmare should be the first supreme being of the human race.

That's why Nightmare was the one who pioneered many dungeons and levels, and he was also the first to leave records.

Wuhen, as a later-rising supreme powerhouse, frequently breaks records.

If that were all, it would be fine, but Wuhen would even make a sarcastic remark, implying a nightmare!

It's important to know that before Wuhen rose to power, Nightmare had already become the strongest!

In other words, even when Wuhen was still very weak, he could joke around with Nightmare.

"In other words, even the strongest beings have a broad mind."

Ye Bai thought to himself,

"Will my brothers be angry if I post my grades?"

Ye Bai looked at the two students' scores and hesitated for a moment.
