90: Chapter 90 The Demon Tower of Withered Bones

Zhu Yongfeng looked at the information revealed in this distress signal, and his expression turned slightly ugly.

At this moment, Qian Pingning, who was sitting to the side, shook his head slightly.

"What a pity. Heroes will eventually fall. The dangers within the Jingjue Tomb are clearly not as simple as imagined."

"..."

Zhu Yongfeng did not respond, but instead looked at the other man. He became increasingly certain that this supervisor likely knew many more things.

However, just as he was hesitating whether to ask, his adjutant reminded him,

"General, there is a situation with the Flying Tiger Archaeology Team."

"Flying Tiger?"

Zhu Yongfeng first frowned, then quickly ordered the staff to adjust the livestream.

...

On the screen of the Flying Tiger Archaeology Team's livestream,

Fei Erfeng and his group were not following the path taken by Song Yiqing and the others.

This was mainly because those few tremors had directly caused the path to collapse.

So now, they were walking blindly in the dark.

As they walked, they ended up entering a place similar to a side hall.

There was also a coffin here, but the lid was open, and there was no corpse inside.

Yet, they remained highly tense.

The unknown is always the most dangerous.

However, a simple exploration did not reveal any crisis.

This finally gave Fei Erfeng and the others the opportunity to examine the environment of the site.

Among them was a mural.

After brief research and combining it with some of the history regarding the Jingjue Kingdom that Song Yiqing had previously translated,

Fei Erfeng made a judgment.

"The Demon Tower in this mural might be a relatively important component of the Jingjue Kingdom.

According to the depictions in the mural, many ancestors of the Jingjue Kingdom were enshrined here.

At the same time, for every sacrifice, they would send a large number of burial companions inside."

When he said this, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise,

"But it's quite strange here. Why are the people sent inside represented by stones?"

Just as he was puzzled, Kang Mo, who was behind him, spoke up,

"Could it be that the mural means that anyone who enters will be turned to stone?"

"That is a possibility."

Fei Erfeng nodded slightly. However, just as they were discussing this,

Bai Yao hurriedly spoke up,

"Elder Fei, the Forbidden Land Exploration Official has also released a message. They say that someone once accidentally entered the Demon Tower,

and from the information passed out, it can be known that there really is a monster inside that can turn people into stone."

"How strange."

Fei Erfeng stroked his chin and thought carefully.

"According to the situation Song Yiqing described earlier, it should have been impossible for anyone to go down before the palace mechanism was unlocked.

How could anyone have walked in?"

"Heh heh heh,"

Kang Mo laughed,

"Song Yiqing isn't the creator of the mechanisms here, so how could he know everything in particular?

I can only say that if he doesn't encounter that Demon Tower, it might be a blessing."

"Staying away if encountered is the most correct decision."

Fei Erfeng muttered to himself, while also continuing to look at the mural of the Demon Tower.

"The content that can be interpreted from the mural currently is only these few points.

But judging from this content,

the danger inside the Demon Tower is likely not just that simple.

What does this door mean? Could it be a path leading to deeper levels?"

Meanwhile, Xue Xingye, who was at the back of the crowd, would occasionally steal glances at Bai Yao's phone to see Song Yiqing's current situation.

The destruction of the Shadow Exploration Team made Xue Xingye realize just how powerful this former absolute prodigy of the Kyoto University of Archaeology really was.

Even in a state of exhaustion, he could still kill anyone he wanted to kill.

As a result, he was becoming increasingly afraid that he would encounter him at some point in the future.

When that time comes, how should he face him...

Just as he was thinking this, Bai Yao suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"This tower..."

Upon hearing this, Xue Xingye quickly leaned forward. When he saw the eerie tower built from withered bones, he immediately exclaimed,

"Demon Tower!! It's the Demon Tower!! Song Yiqing and the others actually encountered the Demon Tower!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the attention of everyone present was immediately drawn.

...

The barrage in Song Yiqing's livestream also exploded completely.

[WTF?? Demon Tower? I just came over from the Flying Tiger Archaeology Team's livestream,]

[This Demon Tower is extremely dangerous! It's suspected that there's a monster inside that can turn people into stone; even the mural records it like that!]

[What the hell, it's probably extremely weird and dangerous in there. If they go in, it's definitely a ten-death, zero-life situation!!]

[Give me a break. No matter how dangerous it is in there, with Song Yiqing's personality, how could he possibly go in? Just thinking about it, you know it's impossible.]

[That's true. Song Yiqing cherishes his life the most; he won't let go of any chance to save his life,]

[especially now that he even knows about this huge crisis, so naturally, he wouldn't dare to go in rashly!]

[But to be fair, I'm really curious! What is this monster that can turn people into stone? Medusa? Hiss!! The wonders of the Forbidden Land are truly amazing.]

On the livestream screen,

Song Yiqing and his group had already arrived in front of the tower that was emitting a faint blue light.

This was a relatively natural, huge karst cave. It was impossible to see exactly how high it was, but Lin Tianyi roughly estimated that it should be about a hundred meters high.

Because of this, they directly calculated that this tower, built from bones, should have more than thirty floors.

"Lord Song, I just saw the official message in the livestream saying that there's a monster inside this Demon Tower that can turn people into stone!"

The Fatty explained quickly at this moment, wanting to quickly dissuade Song Yiqing.

Judging from the trend of their journey so far, the other party's goal seemed to be to enter this place.

Song Yiqing listened to his words and shook his head slightly.

"This should be the only path to go deeper.

And Zhang Qilin should have gone this way too."

"What?"

The Fatty was shocked.

"This is the only path??"

"That is what I think."

Song Yiqing did not give any guarantees; it was just that the result calculated through his Feng Shui Secret Arts was exactly this.

At the same time, he was not wrong about the second point. As they approached here, the Taotie Bloodline's greed for consuming the Kylin Bloodline began to grow stronger.

Just as he was thinking about this, the system's notification sound rang in his ears.

[Challenge Quest: Enter the top floor of the Demon Tower to receive an SS-level reward!]
