What era is it, still traditional card making

Looking at his fallen companions, Lorent tried to rescue them, but after seeing the tentacles attacking him, he gritted his teeth and finally chose to retreat to the gate.

Soon, his companions disappeared completely.

Lorent looked at the two fire giants who had climbed up the fourth step and cursed:

"What on earth did you two do?"

Upon hearing this, Dutran gave him a cold look and then replied:

"You came here without being prepared. Don't you deserve to die?"

After saying that, he went up the stairs without looking back, ready to go to the next floor.

Seeing this, Lorente began to chant a spell, trying to cast a spell to intercept them.

However, he acted too late. Not long after the spell was completed, Dutran and his companions had already disappeared.

Seeing this, Lorente had no choice but to cancel the spell and cursed inwardly:

"Two damn guys."

At some point, Valen came up to him and spoke in a comforting voice;

"Friend, are you okay?"

Lorente looked at the "fire giant" approaching him, and he still kept a trace of vigilance in his heart. Maybe it was because his two companions were already dead, so his tone now sounded a little cold:

"It's okay. I'll meet those two guys later. I won't let them go."

"I agree. Those two guys don't look like good people at first glance."

As he said that, he turned around and looked at Ye Qiong, and asked:

"Brother, do you have any idea? Why didn't these tentacles get triggered when those two guys passed by?"

Hearing this question, Ye Qiong replied unhappily:

"I'm not the omniscient God of Creation. How can I know everything?"

As he spoke, he half-knelt down and carefully examined the tentacles in front of him.

He picked up a stone from the ground and threw it in.

Ye Qiong originally thought that these tentacles would devour the stone that broke into the third layer like crazy, but in the end, these tentacles did not react at all.

The stone fell onto the tentacles-filled ground without causing a single ripple.

Seeing this scene, Ye Qiong couldn't help but guess:

"Could it be that these tentacles only attack living things?"

Ye Qiong looked at Valen and said:

"Throw something in there."

"Ah? What's missing?"

"Anything is fine, preferably some alchemical items that contain magical power."

"Brother, the cheapest of these things costs dozens of gold coins."

Lorent heard their conversation and knew it was time for him to show off. Having lost two companions, if he wanted to continue to go deeper into the Moon Shadow Tower, he would have to form an alliance with the two guys beside him.

He took out a light blue bottle and asked:

"Is this ok?"

Ye Qiong took a look and saw that the inside of the bottle did contain magical power that was constantly flowing. He nodded and replied:

"Throw it in."

After getting the answer, Lorente acted decisively and threw the bottle with force, sending it to the central area of ​​the third floor.

This time, the tentacles also did not launch an attack.

It seems that the tentacles will not attack dead objects that contain magic power.

After observing for a while, Ye Qiong began to chant and cast a spell. Soon, a deep blue summoning magic circle appeared in front of him.

A black crow walked out from it.

Ye Qiong gave an order to let the crow fly over. He wanted to confirm whether the tentacles were attacking all living things that contained magical power.

He watched the crows flying in the air,

This time, the tentacles also did not launch any attacks.

After seeing this scene, he glanced at Lorente and asked:

"You two are pure-blooded demons?"

Lorente was not a fool, so he naturally knew what Ye Qiong meant by asking this question. He nodded and replied:

"The three of us are all pure-blooded demons."

Upon hearing this, Valen clapped his hands, then said with a sudden realization:

"I understand. These tentacles will only attack pure-blooded demons, right? So they will only be activated when Lorent and the others pass by."

Lorente heard this and retorted:

"If that's the case, then why didn't these tentacles activate when Dutlan passed by? If I remember correctly, the Dutlan family is a famous demon clan in the demon world. Their bloodline should be purer than ours."

When Valen heard this, he smiled mysteriously:

"My friend, guess what? Since he was born in the Great Demon Clan, why would this guy charge forward and do something that could cost him his life if he wasn't careful."

"This"

"Isn't it obvious? He and his companions' bloodline may not be particularly pure, so their status in the Dutran family is not high. In order to improve their status, they came to the City of Progress to see if they can find something that can change their status."

After that, he glanced at Ye Qiong and said:

"Brother, tell me if my guess is wrong."

Ye Qiong just nodded and didn't say anything more.

Since the tentacles only attack pure-blooded demons, it should be extremely easy for him to walk through here.

After all, his true identity behind the "Fire Giant" is a pure-blooded dragon.

After hearing this speculation, Lorente suddenly became anxious:

"If the tentacles only attack pure-blooded demons, how are we supposed to get through?"

Upon hearing this, Valen just smiled and replied:

"Who told you we?"

"what?"

Lorente was a little surprised when he heard this, and then he quickly thought of a possibility:

"You two are witches?"

In the demon world, apart from the demons, the most numerous race is witches. It is not surprising that Lorent has such a guess.

Valen did not answer this question, but silently glanced in the direction of Ye Qiong and asked:

"Brother, do you have a way to get through? If not, I have a bottle of dragon blood here. Drinking it should be able to temporarily hide the demon bloodline. Of course, I also read this method from a book, so I don't know if it will work." "No need, I'm not a pure-blooded demon."

When Varun heard this, his smile became even more unbridled.

"Hahaha, brother, I feel like you and I are from the same race. How about we remove our disguises when we get to the next level and see our true form underneath the 'fire giant'?"

When Lorente heard this, he immediately became anxious and quickly called out to Valen:

"Friend, can you sell me that bottle of dragon blood?"

"Yes, it is possible, but the price may be a bit high."

"I can accept any amount of gold coins."

"It's not a matter of gold coins. Look at our current situation. Even if we have a lot of gold coins, we have to spend them."

Lorente was no fool, so he could understand the other party's subtext.

After a moment of silence, he finally nodded and replied:

"As long as you give me this bottle of dragon blood, I am willing to help you two explore the way."

After getting a satisfactory answer, Valen immediately smiled heartily.

"It's great. You are such a real friend."

After saying that, he took out a scarlet bottle from his space ring.

Lorente took the bottle and drank it without thinking.

Soon, he could feel his blood burning and his body becoming extremely hot.

Every organ of the dragon race is filled with pride, and they will never allow themselves to be tainted by other despicable bloodlines.

Generally speaking, after drinking dragon blood, either the blood in the body is completely absorbed, transforming the person who drinks the dragon blood into a half-dragon, or the dragon blood disappears completely.

Although this amount of dragon blood alone is not enough to support Lorent's transformation into a half-dragon, his demon bloodline will be suppressed by the dragon blood during this period.

This is the best chance to get through the third level.

Lorente was a very decisive person. After he felt that the dragon blood had played its greatest role, he immediately came to the third floor and flew high up.

It's not that he didn't make any preparations. During the flight, he kept his hand on the space ring.

This time, the tentacles did not attack.

Lorente flew to the third floor with trepidation, then looked at Ye Qiong and Valen from a distance, waved his hand and said:

"No problem, these tentacles really only attack pure-blooded demons."

Seeing this, Valen immediately took off into the air, and Ye Qiong followed closely behind him.

Neither of them were pure-blooded demons, so they passed through the third floor very smoothly and arrived near the stairs.

After landing, the first thing Valen did was to pat Lorente on the shoulder, and then said with a melancholy look:

"My friend, I hope you don't mind the deal we just made. You know, under that situation..."

Lorente interrupted immediately after hearing this:

"No, no, no. If I were in that situation, I would do the same thing, and I would be even more cruel than you, my friend. Don't worry, we are destined to lick blood on scars in our line of work. What kind of storms and waves have we not seen? What you have done is already kind enough, my friend."

After saying that, he stretched out his right hand and continued:

"Come to think of it, I haven't formally introduced myself yet. I'm Lorente Monado, a little-known mercenary."

"Valen, there are many professions, most of the time I am a bounty hunter. This one is Rudy, a brother I just met."

Lorent looked over and gave him a kind smile.

Three "fire giants" gathered here, as if the Peach Garden Oath plot was about to be triggered in the next second. The scene was as strange as it could be.

Ye Qiong naturally didn't think that Lorente really had no grudges, nor did he believe that Valen really regarded him as a brother.

Now they are just temporary allies formed for the sake of interests.

After the three of them introduced themselves, as if they had really formed a firm alliance, they walked up the stairs and arrived at the fourth floor.

Then, they saw a familiar face at the door of the fourth floor.

When Valen saw Dutran standing near the gate, he immediately came forward and sneered in a sarcastic tone:

"Hey, isn't this Lord Dutran? Why are you standing here alone?"

As he spoke, he looked forward and continued to taunt:

"Where's your companion? He's not dead, is he? Oh, this is the result of not being prepared. He deserves to die."

Dutran clenched his fists, as if he would knock this weird guy down in the next moment.

However, when he saw Ye Qiong and Lorente following closely behind him, he finally chose to endure it.

Even if he could win in a three-on-one situation, it would only be a pyrrhic victory. The best option at this time should be.

"Ouch"

Hearing Lorente's mockery, Dutran completely lost his mind and yelled at him:

"You're a fucking bastard."

Seeing this, Valen decisively chose to stand between the two and act as a peacemaker:

"Alas, meeting is fate. Our situations are similar. Why should we start a quarrel now?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Dutran and continued:

"Friend, how about you tell us about the situation on the fourth floor? That way we can help you get revenge."

Dutran knew that Valen was just trying to get information about the fourth floor from him. He snorted coldly and finally told him everything that had just happened.

Although he is a little impulsive, he is not a fool.

If he chose to make conditions or conceal the truth under such circumstances, the only outcome would be that he would be besieged by these three guys.

In this situation, the best option is to tell everything truthfully and reduce their hostility towards you.

Soon, Dutran finished speaking.

What just happened here is actually not complicated, and can be explained in one sentence.

As soon as Dutran's companion entered the fourth floor, a black shadow suddenly appeared and killed him instantly. Dutran found that something was wrong and decisively chose to retreat temporarily, retreating to the vicinity of the fourth floor gate.

After Valen digested the information, he asked:

"Friend, can you tell me how fast that black shadow is?"

"My companion was a sanctuary-level swordmaster. He was killed the moment he saw the black shadow."

"I see. That sounds a bit tricky."

After saying that, he glanced at Ye Qiong beside him and asked:

"Brother, do you have any idea?"

Hearing this, Ye Qiong replied without any curiosity:

"So, I'm not an omniscient god. How can I know everything?"

Although he said so, Ye Qiong did realize something now.

In the central area of ​​the fourth floor, a warrior in black armor was staring at him, with a light blue moon mark on his forehead.

He glanced at the three fire giants beside him and was surprised to find that they had no reaction at all.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but secretly guess in his heart:

"Am I the only one who can see this Moon Warrior?" (End of this chapter)
