Putting aside the chaos going on over there with Director Yan and his new disciple, Chu Lu was peaceful here in the Demon Locking Tower.
It’s just that the surrounding scene was somewhat different from when he first woke up - from a barren dead land, it turned into a sea of flowers.
The blooming of the mutant "Yuanxiu" seemed to have greatly encouraged the little rabbit spirit. No one knew where the other party got the flower seeds from, but he planted this area around it.
Fortunately, the rabbit demon used only ordinary flower seeds this time, and there was no demon plant that had mutated as badly as the "Yuanxiu" plant. It was just that the flowers that absorbed the blood of the big demon as nutrients were blooming with extremely fierce and bright colors - they grew into a bush of poisonous flowers that made people want to avoid them from a distance.
Chu Lu: "..."
However, the little rabbit demon who was the gardener was quite satisfied with his achievements. He was not shy about showing his love for the flowers. He would stand by and admire them for a while every day, risking poisoning.
——They mutated from ordinary flowers into plants that could poison monsters. Even though it was just a rabbit monster with weak power, it was enough to see the extent of the mutation of these flowers.
It seemed that thanks to the flowers, the little rabbit demon that used to faint from being frightened by being looked at twice was now able to talk to Chu Lu.
——In the beginning, it was this rabbit who tremblingly asked for advice on how to grow flowers.
"Jiang Lu" did not have this skill point, but it was available in the system database. Chu Lu, who had intended to refuse, was finally persuaded by the system, the rabbit monster, and the ferocious "Yuanxiu" who attacked from three sides.
I already have the first one, and the second and third ones don’t seem to matter…
Chu Lu suspected for a moment that the system was tricking him when he was planting Yuanxiu.
But he quickly dismissed the idea - after all, he knew his own system well, and according to the system's usual intelligent mode analysis, his system was not yet at this level.
However, after talking to this rabbit demon, there would occasionally be some unexpected gains. For example, Chu Lu now had a much more detailed understanding of the situation inside the Demon Locking Tower than before.
After all, this rabbit demon was not locked in place like Chu Lu. Although its range of activities was limited for the sake of the demon's safety - mainly concentrated in the area covered by Chu Lu's deterrent power - it could get much more information than Chu Lu. After discovering that Chu Lu had the intention of understanding the surroundings, the rabbit demon began to report on its daily patrols.
Chu Lu: "..."
#This is not necessary.jpg#
He felt that... this rabbit spirit was a little too self-conscious...
After mistakenly thinking that he was in the position of "food reserve", he began to consciously open up the land to grow vegetables to feed himself; now that he has the position of "patrol guard", he patrols diligently every day. He suspects that sooner or later this rabbit demon will walk too far and not be able to come back... Fortunately, so far, the range of its walking is still safe.
Completely unaware of Chu Lu's worries, the rabbit spirit found that after he was upgraded from "reserve food" to "little brother", he had been treating his patrol tasks professionally. He even reported to Chu Lu where there were more grasses or fewer stones in his "territory" today, for fear that he would fail to patrol the boss's territory well and be demoted again.
Just after reporting all the trivial matters of today, the rabbit spirit hesitated for a moment, obviously wanting to say something, but when Chu Lu raised his eyelids to look over, she shuddered again and sat down at the back.
Chu Lu: "..."
He still didn't quite understand the mysterious courage of this rabbit spirit that it could build a nest and live next to him. As a result, every time he looked at her for a second, she seemed like she would faint on the spot at any time.
After a long while, it seemed that the position of "little brother" instead of "reserve food" gave her some comfort. After half a day of psychological preparation, the little rabbit spirit finally mustered up the courage to speak again. When she spoke just now, she made a strange sound similar to hiccups, "My lord...hiccups...My lord, I feel that the layer below is a little strange..."
Obviously, "sir" is a normal title, but when combined with "little one", it becomes like some kind of king of the mountain. No matter how many times Chu Lu heard this, he couldn't help but twitch his eyes. He did try to correct it, but the other party seemed to associate the word "little one" with the identity of "little brother". When Chu Lu revealed a little, the rabbit spirit looked like he was about to faint from fear, and Chu Lu could only acquiesce.
Hearing this, the system once again rolled around in its sea of consciousness and laughed like a goose.
The rabbit spirit was completely unaware of this. The rabbit ears on her head that had appeared when Chu Lu glanced at her just now trembled twice. She said seriously, "Little, little, when I was patrolling, I found that there was no sound on the lower floor. It seems that there are no monsters..."
Chu Lu was stunned, and even the system's laughter stopped.
How big is the Demon Locking Tower?
Although the tower has nine floors, theoretically, its space can be extended infinitely, and the same is true for each floor.
The Demon Locking Tower extracts the power of the demons sealed inside it - of course there must be a limit, but so far it is far from the limit it can accommodate - and now the more critical thing is that, because of the above reasons, the size of the interior of the Demon Locking Tower is actually determined by the number and strength of the demons inside. Stronger demons can support larger spaces, but often their territories are also wider, so in most cases, the space and demons inside the Demon Locking Tower correspond to each other, and there will not be a situation where a certain place is suddenly empty.
But there is one exception. Too many monsters died at the same time, and the space in the Monster Locking Tower could not be adjusted in time.
Chu Lu was sure that although he had killed quite a few monsters some time ago, it was definitely within the self-adjustment range of the Monster Locking Tower. However, according to the rabbit monster, the entire next level was empty.
Chu Lu's face didn't look good.
Imprisoning demons in the Demon Locking Tower is not foolproof. For example, when a large number of demons die in the tower and the space adjusts rapidly, this is when the Demon Locking Tower is at its weakest. According to previous records of Tianshang Mountain, every time at this time a demon will take the opportunity to escape and wreak havoc on the world.
But in fact, this situation does not happen very often. The Demon Locking Tower is divided into nine floors in order to separate the demons of different strengths. The demons on the same floor are mostly of similar strength and will not die in large numbers easily.
However, Chu Lu was locked in the ninth floor, where the demonic power was the weakest, which was purely an inside story. After all, if he was really put down according to his strength, he would be eaten up in a few days according to his current locked state.
Yan Chu locked Jiang Lu in the Demon Locking Tower because he couldn't bear to see his fellow disciples killing each other, not because he wanted his senior brother to be killed by the demon. The shackles on Chu Lu's body not only restricted his movements, but also had a certain fixing function, so that when the Demon Locking Tower was adjusted, he would fall to the lower level.
But now, if a large number of monsters have died as the rabbit monster said, and the entire lower level is empty... no, maybe more than the eighth level is empty. This definitely cannot be an accidental situation, it must be done intentionally by a monster.
——The purpose is also very obvious, which is to escape from the Demon Locking Tower.
This is simply the lifelong wish of every demon imprisoned here... maybe they will even add a massacre on Tianshang Mountain to avenge themselves.
However, the possibility of the latter happening is very small, because due to the existence of the Demon Locking Tower, the escaped demons will flee far away as soon as possible - no one wants to be locked up for a second time.
Of course, there have been monsters that have tried to destroy the Monster Locking Tower, but looking at the current situation, we can see what the results were when the warriors tried back then.
…
…………
He couldn't just ignore the changes in the Demon Locking Tower.
Whenever Chu Lu thought about the monsters he had killed some time ago, which also contributed to the transformation of the Monster Locking Tower, he felt depressed.
That is the emotional imprint of the character "Jiang Lu".
But in this world, he is "Jiang Lu" and "Jiang Lu" is him, so there is no need to make such distinctions.
…
Now……
Chu Lu clenched his fists and pulled downwards. The chain that was originally hanging loosely was straightened by this force, and the buckle made a teeth-grinding creaking sound.
The surging spiritual power made the rabbit demon look towards Chu Lu in horror, and stammered, "Sir...?"
Then, she saw a faint crack appearing on a link of the stretched chain. After a loud noise of the chain breaking, there was the sound of the chain dragging on the ground.
The chain was broken, but the shackles were not yet unlocked. The young man walked down the sealed platform dragging half of the chain.
The end of the chain made a crisp sound when it hit the steps. The young man's originally dark pupils turned red, and demonic patterns appeared on his face, which he could not control because of the full force he had exerted.
Below the platform, as Chu Lu approached, the rabbit demon couldn't help but bow his head deeply to the ground.
I don’t know if it was because of the irresistible blood aura or because of the strength displayed by the other party when he broke free from the chains just now.
But either way...
——Powerful, that is undoubtedly powerful.
The demon race will always respect the strong.
Without noticing what the rabbit spirit was doing, Chu Lu, who had restrained himself again, looked thoughtfully at the shackles still on his wrists.
Although I had a hunch before I started, it was still a little... too easy...
If the "Dragon Lock" left by our ancestors was of this quality, the entire family would have been slaughtered by the vengeful demons who came to the mountain that day.
Chu Lu put his index finger and thumb together and placed them on the shackles to feel them.
really……
Although the outside of the chain was still intact, the inside had already been destroyed once before using spiritual power.
Feeling the familiar fluctuations of spiritual power above, it is self-evident who did this.
Chu Lu didn't really want to delve into the mental journey of Yan Chu when he locked up his senior brother with this easily broken chain, but there was one thing -
The Demon Locking Tower, the Immortal Ladder, the Dragon Lock...
These are three magical instruments left behind by the founder of the sect. It is no exaggeration to say that they are the treasures of Tianshang Mountain.
Yan Chu destroyed it without hesitation, without any mercy at all.
He was not afraid that their deceased master and the previous masters of Tianshang Mountain would jump out of their coffins and scold him...
Chu Lu raised his hand, made a gesture, and went to the next level that the rabbit demon said was empty.
Normally, it is impossible for the imprisoned monster to enter and exit different levels so freely, but the situation of "Jiang Lu" is a little more special. As the former first disciple of the leader of Tianshang Mountain and the default successor to the next generation of the leader, he knows the spell of the Monster Locking Tower.
Thinking of this, Chu Lu couldn't help but look down at the shackles on his hands again.
Chu Lu:......
His mood became more complicated.
——This is no longer an “inside story”, it is a pure “shady deal”, right?!
