Ye Gubai was unaware of Zi Yueru's thoughts.
Even if she asked, Ye Gubai wouldn't stay, much less offer to take her along.
This is at most a collaboration; in the future, no matter who it is, it will only be a collaboration at most.
Mutual benefit and win-win situation, each getting what they want.
Using the teleportation array, Ye Gubai returned to the Sky City area.
He didn't rush into the dungeon; instead, he went to his hotel room to rest first.
That night, Ye Gubai was having dinner prepared by the hotel when there was a knock on his door.
"Do you need any service, sir?"
This familiar question stunned Ye Gubai.
He never imagined that he would encounter something like this after transmigrating here.
It seems that every world has a strange commonality.
"Need not."
He gave a polite reply, and the girl outside the door didn't insist.
He slipped a card under the door and then left.
The next morning, the sun shone brightly.
Ye Gubai ate a simple breakfast and rode his Deathwing Nargacuga into the dungeon teleportation array.
This time, Ye Gubai did not continue to challenge the ordinary dragonman dungeon.
Instead, the difficulty level was adjusted, and the "Adventure" level was selected.
As the difficulty increased, the name of the dungeon also changed.
The Puppet Entrance!
Level Description: Losers will have their souls imprisoned and turned into stone statues forever driven by monsters.
Upon selecting the challenge, a prompt appeared before Ye Gubai's eyes.
Challenger level detected as low. Confirm entry?
Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Gubai chose to teleport.
The Puppet Entrance is located on floors 50-100 of the Sky Tower.
As the teleportation light faded, Ye Gubai stepped into this area.
As soon as he landed, the rows of stone statues in front of him caught his attention.
"Are those the stone statues that the losers turned into?"
Looking closely, one sees rows of stone statues standing expressionlessly.
If anyone fails to pass the level, they will be turned into a stone statue and forced to use by the monster puppeteer.
Both men and women can be included.
At the end of this level, there is a monster floating in mid-air.
It sat cross-legged on a stone disc made of several stones, controlling the disc to float using its mental power.
This allows him to fly in mid-air and look down on everyone.
Due to the distance, it is impossible to view any information about this monster.
However, the demon noticed Ye Gubai and raised its hand to release an invisible wave of psychic energy.
As the ripples passed, the stone statues on that level also began to move.
"Click, click."
The statues opened their eyes, which were pale and devoid of light.

There are only two types of stone statues in total, and their general dimensions are similar.
Ye Gubai discovered that there were no auxiliary types among these stone statues.
It seems that in the eyes of monsters, support-type combat abilities are not strong enough to qualify as being turned into stone statues?
"Humans discriminate against swordsmen, but at least it's only against one branch."
"Monsters, on the other hand, directly discriminate against support characters?"
Ye Gubai was amused.
I never expected to see a monster that discriminates against support characters; it was quite interesting.
Only mages have normal speed among the monster statues; as for warriors, their speed is lower due to their lower agility.
The movement was relatively slow and posed little threat.
Unless you're extremely unlucky and accidentally get surrounded by statues.
Otherwise, normally it would be impossible to die here.
"Those who died must have been killed because the damage wasn't enough, right?"
Ye Gubai drew the Sword of Rebirth and launched an attack on the stone statue.
The sword light whistled as the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique cleaved out.
Because the monster statue has high attributes, normally the base damage of the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique is just over 10,000.
It is impossible to instantly kill the monster statue with a combined HP and defense of 13,000.
However, it seems that the monster statues are not living beings, but rather puppets created by the monsters after the challengers died.
Therefore, the passive effect of the Sword of Rebirth, the purification effect, was triggered.
(Purify: Increases damage by 50% when attacking undead targets)
The stone statue that had been struck stood frozen in place, white flames suddenly erupting from the wound.
The flames, like a sacred radiance, cleansed the stone statue's body.
The stone statue opened its mouth and roared, but unfortunately it had no vocal cords and could not make any sound.
With a 50% damage increase, all the monster statues that were hit fell down and were eventually burned to ashes by the white purifying flames.
A miraculous scene unfolded!
From the piles of burnt-out coals, several transparent souls flew out.
They bowed to Ye Gubai in the air and then quickly disappeared.
"This is?!"
Ye Gubai hadn't expected this to happen, and his eyes widened in surprise.
