"What do you want to bet?" A bitter smile appeared on the little dragon turtle's face, puzzled as to why the wooden ghost would be in such a relaxed mood to propose such a bet.
“If you lose, you’ll become this kid’s mount!” the Wood Demon said.
"I was once the mount of Lord Shenyu. How dare a mere brat like him be worthy of it?" The little dragon turtle exhaled a puff of green smoke from its nostrils and said arrogantly.
Back in the day, during the time when Yu the Great was controlling the floods, the little dragon turtle was subdued by him and became his capable assistant.
The dragon turtle possesses the bloodline of the dragon race, is incredibly strong, and carries the Breath of Earth as it follows the god Yu in controlling the floods.
Its outstanding contributions to flood control marked the most glorious moment of its life.
After the death of the god Yu, the dragon turtle seemed to have lost its soul.
It wanders aimlessly across the vast land of China, never stopping.
"Haha! If he can really unlock your 'Tower of Despair,' wouldn't that prove his qualifications?" Wood Ghost's words were full of mockery.
"We'll have to wait until he cracks it before we talk about it!" It has to be said that the words of the wooden ghost stirred up ripples in its heart.
It recalled Su Yue's performance in the Tower of Despair, his courageous figure, and his fearless spirit.
It's as if they've donned the clothes of the god Yu and inherited some of his heroic spirit.
The dragon turtle was filled with anticipation, but stubbornly refused to admit it.
What a novel experience it would be to actually let this man ride on my back!
Su Yue sneezed unintentionally, completely unaware of it.
From God's perspective, a little turtle had already looked him up and down, inside and out.
...
"What is he trying to do?" the Dragon Turtle and the Wooden Ghost asked in unison, their eyes wide as they stared at each other.
"Outside, it's a mountain of knives and a sea of fire!" The man he had finally set his sights on had so resolutely chosen this path.
Su Yue quietly walked around the stairs to the window and jumped without hesitation.
To the astonishment of the dragon turtle and the wooden ghost, he began to freefall.
"1, 2, 3..." The moment Su Yue jumped out of the Tower of Despair, he was surrounded by a thick layer of white mist.
Visibility in the surrounding area dropped sharply to less than half a meter.
He stared intently at the large gold Rolex in his hand, the only tool he used to record the time of its fall.
"10!" As he shouted the number, a pair of jet-black wings appeared behind him.
【Wings of the Gods】 Grants the god Zongbu a pair of wings, granting him brief flight and the ability to break free from all lock-on skills. Duration: 60 seconds. Cooldown: 10 minutes.
With a gentle flap of his wings, Su Yue steadily stopped his rapid descent.
The view before my eyes also changed, becoming incredibly open and bright.
Beneath their feet, clusters of pale flames burned fiercely, yet they brought no warmth whatsoever, only an endless chill.
"That's the Bone Jade Scepter! This is the Dragon Slayer Blade! And the Eighteen-Foot Serpent Spear!" Countless divine weapons gleamed in the raging flames, each radiating a chillingly sharp light.
The head of the "Demon of Tombfire" that Su Yue shot down is now hanging atop a sharp longsword.
His eyes were wide open, he died with his eyes open, and his tongue was sticking out, as if he was saying his last words.
Su Yue had no doubt about the power of this "mountain of knives and sea of fire".
Even zombies with emperor-level power would likely not escape the fate of this place.
However, in this treacherous place, the only sanctuary is the Tower of Despair behind Su Yue.
Su Yue did not rush to fly down.
The current situation is complex and he is unsure of his next move.
Su Yue was shocked to discover that the Tower of Despair was located at the core of a grand star pattern on the ground.
These starlight points, as dazzling as the stars themselves, lit up one by one, automatically connecting to form a wondrous shape resembling the Chinese character "困" (trapped).
The Tower of Despair stands precisely at the center of this character "困" (trapped/trapped).
"Hehe! I know this one well!" A sly glint flashed in Su Yue's eyes. With a gentle flap of his wings, he swiftly swooped down towards the bottom of the tower.
What appears as starlight from the sky becomes torches on the ground.
The moment Su Yue landed, the dragon turtle's figure transformed into a golden light, mysteriously merging into the air and disappearing without a trace.
Then, a system notification sounded.
[Ding! Please light the torches in a specific order to unravel the mystery of the Dragon Turtle!]
As a veteran player, Su Yue immediately took out the Scorching Arrow and methodically lit the torches in order.
When all eighteen torches were lit, the flames shot into the sky, transforming into twinkling stars that shone brightly in the night sky.
At that moment, it was as if the whole world had broken free from the clouds and fog, ushering in the dawn.
At the same time, the Tower of Despair began to collapse, turning into ruins and ceasing to exist.
