The rabbit demon’s judgment was correct. There was no movement on the eighth floor of the Demon Locking Tower. To be more precise, there was a sea of blood and limbs. It was indeed a "death" silence. It was much more brutal than the scenes around Chu Lu in the first few days.
Not surprisingly, the rabbit spirit that came down with Chu Lu rolled his eyes and kicked his legs the moment he saw this scene, turning back into his original form and fainting.
Chu Lu: "..."
He hesitated for a moment, but finally took the rabbit away by its ears.
After all, according to the strength of this rabbit, if there is any monster on this floor that is not completely dead, it will be eaten in minutes after waking up.
…
Chu Lu continued to go down carrying the rabbit, and was not too surprised to find that it was not just the eighth floor. Although the seventh and sixth floors were not completely destroyed like the upper floors, there were only a few monsters left.
The hierarchical division within the Demon Locking Tower is not completely without loopholes, not to mention that there are shady people like Chu Lu who have GM authority and can move freely in it.
Even ordinary monsters can change their level if they deliberately suppress their strength, but once they show strength beyond that of their level, they will be expelled in an instant, so it is meaningless to deliberately go to a certain level. But based on the traces Chu Lu observed this time, it seems that this cannot be said. The dead monsters were crushed to death by the enemy's sudden surge in strength, causing a whole level of blood to flow. Obviously, there can't be only one monster... The situation is easy to guess, there are monsters from a certain level cooperating.
This is actually a very rare situation. Even Chu Lu came to this conclusion only after excluding all other impossible options.
The demon race is actually quite obsessed with power and worships the strong.
It is easy to let them find a commander who is much more powerful than themselves and submit to him; but if you want monsters with similar strength and power to cooperate, it is harder than climbing to the sky - the most likely result is that no one will submit to anyone else and the cooperation will collapse midway.
Thousands of years of history have proven this, so the Demon Locking Tower is designed in this way.
But the facts have proved that intelligent creatures can evolve infinitely. After being trapped in one place for hundreds and thousands of years, even the monsters have finally learned to "cooperate."
…
Chu Lu was still a little late, a step too late.
By the time he followed the trail, he found that a crack had been torn open inside the tower by a monster, and monster corpses were piled up near the crack, which was not much different from the blood-stained floors above.
——This was obviously another collaboration that collapsed midway.
However, this collapse happened before the end.
Therefore, there are still a dozen demons who have achieved their goals as victors, and they are swarming out from the crack that is about to close.
Chu Lu couldn't possibly let these monsters run away.
He pointed his fingers in front of him, and although he had no weapon in his hands, his sharp spiritual power was sharper than any magical weapon.
In order to avoid making the crack bigger, he used a very restrained attack. Fortunately, after the fight just now, the monsters were also injured, and he killed most of them with this attack, and only six or seven actually escaped.
The word "only" is actually not appropriate here. After all, even according to the records of Tianshang Mountain, the most monsters that escaped from the Demon Locking Tower at one time was only four. That time caused chaos in the world and the human world was turned upside down. Tianshang Mountain was almost in danger of being wiped out.
Although the cooperation had just collapsed, the monsters that had escaped now tacitly chose to flee in different directions.
Their inner cries were now similar: This is clearly the Demon Locking Tower, right?! Why is there a human cultivator inside?!!
No one answered this question for the time being. Chu Lu, who was chasing after it, directly judged the strength of the aura and slashed in the direction of the strongest aura. The monster that was not in the direction of Chu Lu's slash was delighted and was about to take the opportunity to escape, but was tied up tightly by the chain that was swung back. It was the half of the shackles still wrapped around Chu Lu's wrist - after all, it was the sect's treasure left by the ancestors. Even if it was damaged by two useless disciples one after another, and one of them was directly torn off, it was not something that a monster with a serious injury could break free of.
Chu Lu chased them in time, but the unusual movement here attracted the disciples of Tianshang Mountain. Using these disciples as shields, two fish finally slipped through the net.
Most of the disciples who came were strangers. Chu Lu did not see any familiar faces among them, and these new disciples probably did not know him. Chu Lu was frowning and wondering how to explain the current situation - he did not want to conflict with the disciples of Tianshang Mountain, but these disciples would not allow a stranger who suddenly appeared in their territory to come and go freely.
But Chu Lu soon discovered that he didn't need to explain at all -
Someone had set up a smokescreen near the Demon Locking Tower in advance, so these disciples could only feel the surge of demonic power, but they couldn't actually know exactly what was happening nearby.
It is very clear who this “someone” is.
After all, not everyone can tamper with the forbidden area of Tianshang Mountain, unless the leader of Tianshang Mountain does it personally.
Whether it's destroying the dragon lock or setting up a sleight of hand in advance...
Director Yan is really well prepared.
——So that his senior brother could come out of the Demon Locking Tower at any time.
If the deceased master knew about this, he would probably want to jump out of his coffin and beat to death this hapless disciple who was biased and unjust.
…
…………
In any case, Chu Lu naturally wanted to save the effort of explaining since he didn't have to. He immediately chased the slightly stronger demonic energy and fled into the distance.
Only a few breaths later, Yan Chu, who came back a step late and happened to pass by Chu Lu, felt the mixed atmosphere in the sect. After a brief pause, his face immediately became serious.
Although most of the disciples in the sect did not know what had happened, the appearance of Yan Chu calmed down the sect that had been in chaos. Even Guan Rong breathed a sigh of relief after being told that "the leader has returned."
The situation was urgent, Guan Rong even briefly ignored the sect's rule of "forbidding flying swords within the sect" and immediately rode on his flying sword to meet up with his master.
But when he saw the expression on Yan Chu's face from afar, his heart skipped a beat.
——The one who can make the other person show such an expression...
Before Guan Rong could imagine a worse outcome, he saw that person suddenly let out a triumphant smile, "Are you scared? Rongrong."
Guan Rong: -_- # !!
It has come to this point! This person is still in the mood to tease him! !
He suppressed the urge to draw his sword and was about to explain the current situation to the other party.
But the man just waved his hand casually, "Okay, I know everything, it's not a big deal... I'll take care of it."
Guan Rong:!!!
Although I was still angry, I felt inexplicably at peace.
If Yan Chu was present, it seemed that there was no need to worry about anything else... because the only thing to worry about was this inhuman master!!
Logically speaking, Guan Rong is the one who "sees" everything, but compared to his own, Guan Rong trusts the judgment of Yan Chu who is not present more.
He asked, “What happened?”
Yan Chu's tone was still light and casual, "It's nothing, just a few monsters ran out of the Monster Locking Tower..."
——Oh, so it’s in the Demon Locking Tower…?!
!!!
Guan Rong turned over the other person’s words in his mind and almost fell off his flying sword.
——The monsters in the Monster Locking Tower escaped! ! Or “several” monsters? ! ! !
Is this something that can be said in such a light-hearted tone? !
Guan Rong's scalp was about to explode. When he wanted to ask more questions, the person who had just spoken had disappeared. He only said, "You just guard the sect first. I'll be back soon."
There seemed to be a slight pause, and the second half of his voice was a little ethereal, "If...your uncle...he comes back, send a message to me."
Guan Rong: ? ? !
That was the demon that escaped from the Demon Locking Tower!
How on earth could this person say "I'll be back soon" in a tone that sounded like he was going down the mountain to buy a roast chicken? !
——At least have a correct attitude!!!
Is this really okay?!
…
…………
After worry, anger, dissatisfaction and other emotions that were as complex as a storm and even he himself could not distinguish them passed through Guan Rong's mind, he suddenly realized another problem.
This was the second half of the sentence that Yan Chu added after a slight hesitation.
——Master? Come back?
Guan Rong: ???
When did he suddenly have an uncle-master? Why didn't he know anything about it?
——Could it be that his inhuman master is playing tricks on him again? !
On the other side, Guan Rong, after being puzzled, finally took Yan Chu's unusual tone at the end seriously and went back to look through the list of disciples of Tianshang Mountain.
Yan Chu distinguished two demon queens from the mixed auras, fleeing in opposite directions, and immediately chased in the direction of the weaker one. After all, they were brothers who had grown up together. Even without Chu Lu's spiritual power, Yan Chu could immediately judge the other party's choice, not to mention Chu Lu's deliberate reminder.
Although he failed to meet them, the long-unseen collaboration between these two brothers still made Yan Chu couldn't help but smile.
A furry tail hit him hard in the face. Yan Chu was a little distracted and failed to dodge, and a red mark immediately appeared on his face.
Black Fox taunted: "How stupid."
Yan Chu picked up the fox by its tail and asked with a smile, "Aren't you happy too, Xiaobai?"
The black fox forgot to even struggle, and the fox's face was full of doubt: "Huh?! Are you blind?"
Yan Chu: "You still like Senior Brother very much, right? Every time Senior Brother treats you coldly, you feel very sad..."
Black Fox: "Bullshit!"
It couldn't help but swear.
Yan Chu didn't take it seriously and continued, "...When Senior Brother swung his sword at you, you almost cried..."
"Shut up!!!"
The black fox broke free from Yan Chu's hand, jumped up and left six symmetrical scratches on his face.
Yan Chu hissed, but didn't care. Maybe he was deliberately caught to let Xiao Bai vent his anger.
Although he had incurred the wrath of heaven and man, and even his own disciples wanted to kill them every now and then, Yan Chu also knew that some scars could not be exposed.
...I was just too excited just now and accidentally bald it out.
After a while, Yan Chu thought that Xiao Bai should have calmed down, so he reached out and grabbed the fox that jumped onto his head and put it in his arms. He rubbed the fox's fur and said, "The demon's aura is too weak to be easy to find. Xiao Bai, help smell it... Don't let Senior Brother get ahead of us."
After these words were spoken, Black Fox's originally complicated emotions were instantly suppressed by surging anger.
——"Do you really think I'm a dog?!!"
