Chapter 89 - 89 The Inside of the Nine

89 The Inside of the Nine-Story Demon Tower

On the way, Lu Yufan used ten minutes to explain to them why chewing gum could not be swallowed.

Although it was not too harmful to swallow, this kind of candy should be spat out after chewing it.

Then, she was greeted with countless questions.

“But chewing gum is also candy. If you can swallow candy, why can’t you swallow chewing gum?”

“Isn’t chewing gum meant for eating? Why can’t you swallow the food?”

“What’s the use of chewing gum if it can’t be swallowed? Is it just to blow bubbles?”

…

Lu Yufan had no choice but to turn to Chu Bai for help when she heard these serious questions.

“I don’t know. I don’t eat gum. I’ve never eaten it before.”

Chu Bai immediately changed the topic.

The time for Lil Xue’er’s spirit transformation was over. She turned into a cute little fox and lay on Chu Bai’s shoulder.

Lil Dragon lay on Long Mengyi’s shoulder.

These two little pets kept competing in everything.

“Uncle Bai Ye, where are we going? What mission is it? I’m so hungry. I still have to bring Lil Dragon offline to eat hotpot,” Long Mengyi said while touching her belly.

Chu Bai raised his head and looked ahead.

“Here, we’re here.”

Lu Yufan and Long Mengyi also looked up.

“There’s actually a tower here.”

Lu Yufan then took out her Inferno Staff.

This tower was not easy to find. It was hidden in the mountains and could not be seen from the outside. One could only find it after passing through the mountains!

Moreover, this mountain range was very difficult to traverse. In addition, demonic energy surrounded the area. Hence, practically no players would come here.

“It looks so scary and sinister.” Long Mengyi shrank her head.

“Master, don’t be afraid. Lil Dragon will protect you.”

Lil Dragon then stuck close to Long Mengyi.

“Hehehe—”

“Ah!”

The sudden car of a few crows made Lil Dragon scream.

Lu Yufan looked at them.

Usually, she was the childlike one. She did not expect that there was someone who was more childlike than her.

Chu Bai walked to the front of the Nine-Story Demon Tower.

There was a blue light wave that looked like a portal. Chu Bai reached out and touched it.

[Ding. You need to form a team of three to enter the Nine-Story Demon Tower.]

“Let’s form a team.”

Then, the three of them formed a team.

Chu Bai immediately used one of the fixed-point teleportation talismans.

[Ding. You’ve created an apex teleportation formation.]

“Let’s go,” he said.

Then, Chu Bai entered it easily.

[Ding. You’ve entered the Nine-Story Demon Tower.]

With a flash of light, the three of them appeared inside the Nine-Story Demon Tower!

The interior was definitely bigger than they had imagined!

In the pitch-black environment, the only light was a candle flame. They did not know why it had not been extinguished even after so many years!

The candlelight swayed in the wind, adding to the terrifying atmosphere!

It was even more terrifying when their shadows were cast on the wall.

“It’s so scary.”

Lil Dragon shrank into Long Mengyi’s arms.

“Master, I only know how to rob. I don’t know how to fight these scary monsters.”

Long Mengyi patted her gently and said, “It’s okay, don’t be afraid. I’m here with you.”

“Thank you, Master. You’re the best.”

“What I mean is, I’m here to accompany you in your fear,” Long Mengyan said.

Chu Bai was speechless.

“This seems to be the sixth floor. Have all the monsters on the first five floors run away?”

Chu Bai looked at the wall. There was the number six written in blood on one of the spots.

Chu Bai wielded the God Slaying Calamity, Long Mengyi held the frying pan with both hands, and Lu Yufan held the Inferno Staff with both hands.

“Huh, what’s that?”

Lu Yufan suddenly saw the shadow of a terrifying monster on the wall in front of them.

The shadow was right next to Long Mengyi.

Chu Bai’s eyes narrowed.

“I’ll kill you!”

Long Mengyi immediately turned around and smacked the frying pan behind her.

Clash!

The crisp sound echoed, and it was particularly loud in this enclosed space.

-1,639!

A huge damage value appeared above the monster’s head!

The frying pan knocked on the head effect doubled the damage. The louder the sound, the higher the damage.

Chu Bai and Lu Yufan turned around instantly.

Behind them, there were several huge, pitch-black mantis-like monsters with blood-red eyes and drooling mouths. They were staring at them with their two sharp, knife-like claws.

Farther away, in an even darker place, they could not see the appearance of the monsters clearly, but there were dozens of pairs of blood-red eyes staring at them!

This scene was quite terrifying.

[Demonized Flying Mantis—Grade: Silver. Level: 20

HP: 8,000. A type of demonized monster. It’s very fast and can fly for a short distance. Its attack power is extremely strong, and its claws are as hard as blades.]

[Skills—Random Slash: fly toward an enemy and slash at the target at a frequency of more than ten times per second, dealing damage with each slash. Cooldown time: ten seconds.]

[Demonic Spirit Eyes: lasts for 30 seconds. If you look into its eyes, you’ll be stunned for one second. Cooldown time: three minutes.]

[Death Embrace: charges toward a target at extreme speed and clamps the target with its claws. Damage increases every 0.5 seconds. Can be clamped for a maximum of three seconds. Cooldown time: five minutes.]

“So many level 20 silver-grade monsters!”

Lu Yufan’s little face showed fear.

She had been playing games for so many years, but she had never faced so many monsters with so few people in the early stages of a game!

She was only at level 10.

“It’s fine. You two stick together.”

After Chu Bai finished speaking, he charged toward the many monsters.

“Triple Flame Slash.”

Swoosh!

-680, -1,360, -1,360!

[Ding. You’ve triggered the 200% damage effect of Divine Slaughter.]

“So fierce.”

The two girls watched as Chu Bai charged in, their mouths slightly agape.

A dozen demonized flying mantises surrounded Chu Bai.

“Be careful.”

Lu Yufan was a little scared just by looking at this scene.

A demonized flying mantis used its Random Slash skill on Chu Bai.

-19, -19, -19, -18!

Chu Bai lost ten times of damage within a second, but the total amount of health he lost was just… 200 points.

It could not be helped. Chu Bai’s equipment was too advanced. This kind of monster that was not even considered a silver-grade boss could not cause too much damage to Chu Bai.

“So fierce!”

Lu Yufan’s mouth was slightly agape.

“I can’t take it anymore. I have to join the fight!”

Long Mengyi could not bear it anymore. She rushed in with the frying pan!

“Random shoot!”

Bang, bang, bang!

Chu Bai’s ears were filled with the sound of people getting knocked on their heads.

“Lil Dragon is also joining the fight!”

The little dragon opened its mouth and spat out a blue dragon’s breath.

“Elven Water Gun.”

Lu Yufan also came back to her senses and began to release her skills.

“Water Prison!”

Several enchanted flying mantises were under her control.

Lil Xue’er was next to Lu Yufan, healing them at any time.

“Fan Fan, do you have any skills with a large area of effect? It’s fine if the cooldown is long. Help me clear the monster’s health bar,” Chu Bai called out.

“I do!”

Lu Yufan then clenched her staff.

“Surging Wave!”

A tsunami-like skill appeared and surged forward.

-1,961!

As a mage, the damage over time was limited, but the skill damage was definitely the highest among all classes.

A large number of monsters had lost a quarter of their health.

“Blade Waltz!”

Chu Bai aimed at the dozen of them and started to kill them when they reached the killing line.

“He’s so cool!”

Lu Yufan’s mouth was slightly agape.

At this moment, a group of demonized flying mantises bypassed Chu Bai and Long Mengyi and rushed toward Lu Yufan.
