What era is it, still traditional card making

Hearing this question, Valen glanced in the direction of Ye Qiong and said unhappily:

"When I first came here, my reaction was similar to yours, because I saw Rudy and Lorente half-kneeling on the ground, with expressions on their faces as if they had seen an indescribable evil god. It was not until later that I realized that only Lorente was real."

"So you're unwilling to be the only one being deceived, and choose to be like them and act like that?"

"That's right!"

Valen nodded as a matter of course. Seeing that Ye Qiong had stood up, she took the initiative to ask:

"Don't tell me you imitated Lorente as a prank like me."

Ye Qiong shook his head calmly, and then replied:

"I was just a little curious about why Llorente became like this, so I chose to imitate him."

"Tsk, aren't you afraid that there really is something scary up there?"

"It really does."

"what?"

Ye Qiong raised his head. The fifth floor was already the top floor of the Moon Shadow Tower. In other words, they had already reached the top of the tower.

After raising his head, he could now clearly see a dark ceiling and an indescribable monster lurking above it.

His body is huge and strange, and his head is not smooth and round like an ordinary octopus, but is covered with countless strange folds and tentacles.

These tentacles vary in thickness and length. They keep wriggling on the monster's head, as if they have their own consciousness. There are also some tiny suction cups on the tentacles, which emit a faint light, like phosphorescence flickering in the abyss, giving people a gloomy and evil feeling.

His eyes were sunken in the wrinkles of his head. His eyeballs were a cloudy black color without whites, like two bottomless black holes that seemed to swallow up all light and souls. When he turned his head, these tentacles would make a sticky friction sound that made people shudder.

Now Ye Qiong could only see the monster's head, because the rest of its body was cut off by a black hole.

It was as if He had undergone some kind of half-finished descent ritual, with the head coming down smoothly, but due to insufficient sacrificial materials, His body was stuck there.

Perhaps because of his good psychological endurance, after seeing this thing, Ye Qiong was only shocked for a moment, but he was not really scared like Lorente.

As for Valen and Dutran, the reason why they are still so calm is probably because they did not see this monster from their perspective.

Ye Qiong's imitation of Lorent's movements was not purely out of curiosity. He needed to do this to restore the scene of Lorent's life and see if he could make the "Fate" rune on the sword of Dutran resonate with Lorent.

Judging from the results, he was indeed successful. He clearly saw the thread of fate entangled with Lorente's head.

At this time, the black silk thread had broken, as if it had been cut by a pair of scissors, extremely clean and crisp.

The breaking of the thread meant that his fate had come to an end. He had brilliantly completed the task assigned by the owner of the thread of fate.

The reason why Valen and Dutran were unable to see the monster was probably because their fate had not yet come to an end, and the owner of the thread of fate still needed them to do something, so they are not dead yet.

Thinking of this, Ye Qiong couldn't help but sigh that the power of the "Destiny" rune might be several times stronger than he had imagined.

The "Fire" rune can burn the enemy, and the "Fate" rune can manipulate the enemy at will, making the enemy walk towards the future you have arranged.

Now they are like puppets entangled by silk strings. If they don't cut the silk strings on their bodies, their final fate will probably be similar to that of Lorente.

After completing his part, he was ruthlessly abandoned and died on this stage that was carefully arranged by the people behind the scenes.

At this time, because of Ye Qiong's words, Valen's neck seemed extremely stiff.

She really wanted to look up again to see if there was really some indescribable monster lurking on the ceiling as Ye Qiong said.

But she was afraid that if she raised her head out of curiosity, she might end up like Lorente, so she was afraid to look up.

Valen asked Ye Qiong in a panic:

"Brother Rudy, is there really something weird up there? I didn't see anything just now."

Originally Dutran was also very curious, but after hearing Ye Qiong's words, he also became a little flustered and cast a curious look at him.

Facing the two people's questions, Ye Qiong just nodded lightly, and then replied:

"There is indeed an unknown monster, so don't look up."

This indifferent look made Valen suspicious, and she spoke hesitantly:

"You're not lying to me, are you? There's actually nothing on it."

"Yes, you are right."

Ye Qiong answered perfunctorily, and then came to Lorente's side. He wanted to see if there were any signs of spellcasting on Lorente's body, or if there were any wounds on his body.

With the blue dragon's sensitivity to magic, he quickly got the answer.

There was no magic in Lorente's body, nor were there any wounds on his body. The cause of his death was as if he saw a monster on the ceiling and was frightened to death.

If Ye Qiong remembered correctly, Lorente's profession seemed to be a mercenary. Could a mercenary who was on the edge of a knife all day long have such poor psychological endurance?

Did he just take a look at that thing on the ceiling and get scared to death? He didn't even scream?

This shouldn't be the case,

Ye Qiong clearly saw the appearance of this thing, so why didn't he seem to be scared to death?

After observing Lorente's condition, he raised his head and looked towards the gate.

This door is obviously different from the previous one. The door in front of me is jet black, and there are two paintings on the surface of the door.

The painting on the left depicts a man holding a flame, while the painting on the right depicts a man standing on the moon, and he seems to be fighting some strange monster.

Ye Qiong didn't know what the meaning of these two paintings was. He glanced at Lorente.

At this time, Lorente was kneeling in the right direction, facing the man on the left side of the picture, and there was a round wheel just below the position where he was kneeling.

Ye Qiong looked at the empty roulette wheel on the other side. It was obvious that the appearance of this roulette wheel here was not a coincidence. What was happening before his eyes might be some kind of sacrificial ritual, but for some unknown reason, this ritual did not work.

What would the scene be like if the second person to come here was not him, but Valen or Dutran?

By then, a witch or a half-dragon might be kneeling on the originally empty roulette wheel.

Ye Qiong felt a little puzzled. The sacrificial ceremony had already been arranged, so why didn't he kneel on the roulette wheel and become a sacrifice like Lorente?

Could it be that something went wrong in one of the links?

He unconsciously shifted his gaze to the Sword of Dutrane in his hand, and secretly wondered in his heart: "Could it be because of this sword that symbolizes victory and glory?"

As soon as this idea came to mind, he quickly shook his head and rejected it.

No, this sword has recognized its master. Even if the Sword of Dutran can bring victory and glory, it will only bring victory to Valen. How could it bring victory to an outsider like him?

Valen looked at Ye Qiong who was constantly thinking, and did not interrupt his thoughts.

The witch kept wandering outside the gate, trying to find some clues. Finally, her eyes were fixed on the two gates in front of her.

Apart from the two paintings on the door, she couldn't find any clues.

At this time, Dutraner was no longer as reckless as before. Although he had already reached the top of the tower, he did not dare to seize the opportunity.

He was a little scared. After opening the door, what he saw was not the lost treasure, but a monster that they could not defeat at all.

Now Dutraner hopes to escape from this strange place as soon as possible rather than obtain the treasure.

The scene before him, as well as his previous experiences, kept telling him,

This tower is not simple. The Moon Witch may be hiding some conspiracy. If he continues to let greed drive his body, then his fate will only be the same as Lorente's.

However, his mind did think so, but his body seemed to have other ideas.

Dutran suddenly found that his feet had taken a step forward for no reason. Before that, he had been thinking to stay where he was, waiting for the pure-blooded dragon beside him to find some clues.

Another step forward.

At this time, many images flashed in Dutran's mind. He got the lost treasure, obtained the power comparable to that of gods, and completed his revenge on those people in the family who looked down on him. He completely eliminated the thin dragon blood in his body and became a pure-blooded demon.

The images in his mind were full of beauty, images that he would never dare to dream of.

These images seem to be telling Dutran,

Go ahead, just open the door and you will get everything.

By that time, blood, family, and origin will no longer be obstacles for you, and you will become the only king of the demon world.

The footsteps at this moment seemed extremely harsh in this silent environment.

Valen noticed Dutran's strange condition the first time, and she immediately spoke up:

"Dutrane, what do you want to do?"

Seeing that Dutran was about to reach the gate, Valen took decisive action, took out his magic wand and hit Dutran's head hard.

This action immediately shocked Ye Qiong.

Is this how a magic wand is used? Shouldn't a spell be cast to restrict Dutran's actions at this time?

After Dutran was hit on the head by the magic wand, he was stunned for a short while, and soon he was able to move again.

Seeing this, Ye Qiong decisively cast a spell to build a barrier in front of Dutlaner, blocking his way.

Then he asked Valen:

"what happened to him?"

Hearing this, Valen was also very confused and asked back:

"How should I know what he's crazy about?"

As she spoke, she seemed to have remembered something and shouted excitedly:

"Oh, now I remember that he looked like something was wrong when we were on the fourth floor. Brother Rudy, did you look back just now? This guy was able to block two swords from that thing, and even had time to summon a monster to resist the Moon Warrior's attack on his behalf.

There is definitely something wrong here, right? Although we did initially test the Moon Warrior's attack trajectory, can we really adapt to the attack intensity of that thing just by looking at it with the naked eye?"

Although Ye Qiong was not paying attention to Dutran's condition at that time, after hearing what Valen said, he was still able to detect something unusual.

"You mean normally, he should have died on the fourth floor?"

"Well, it's not that excessive."

"You simply think that with his strength, it is impossible for him to withstand the attack of the Moon Warrior, right?"

"Yes, that's what I wanted to say. At that time, Dutran seemed to have suddenly realized something and reacted instantly to resist the attack of the Moon Warrior. If he had this ability earlier, how could his companion die so quickly?"

Ye Qiong put his right hand on his chin and began to think. Judging from Dutran's performance just now, the place he wanted to go was not the strange-looking roulette wheel, but to open the door to the fifth floor. Was he affected by the power of the thread of fate?

He was somewhat curious about what Dutran would do after being affected by the thread of fate.

There are not many choices before Ye Qiong.

Go forward, open the door to the fifth floor, follow your fate, and see what the Moon Witch hiding behind the scenes wants to do.

Go back to the starting point and see if there is any possibility of escape.

Judging from the current situation, he feels that it is too late to retreat now.

The thread of fate has been entangled around them. This force is influencing them all the time, leading them towards a carefully arranged future. This is how Lorente ended up, and Dutran is also about to move towards a predetermined future.

After thinking for a long time, his eyes finally fixed on the strange roulette wheel.

In the end, he chose to release the barrier and let Dutran continue to move forward.

After seeing this scene, Valen shouted in surprise:

"what are you doing?"

Faced with this question, Ye Qiong just replied:

"I want to know what's inside the fifth floor."

After releasing the barrier, Dutran moved very quickly and arrived at the gate immediately.

With a strong push, the door was pushed open. (End of this chapter)
