Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

A superhuman or a fake?

Chen Xi secretly hid to the side, thinking to himself.

At the same time, a figurine was thrown out.

This figure is different from the previous ones; it's a glass of water.

This cup of water is a product from the Japanese country of Fudo, and it does not exist in reality. It is used specifically for filming certain special scenes.

After drinking this water, Chen Xi's body and clothes will enter an invisibility mode, turning him into a transparent person.

Unlike the chameleon-like fake human, it changes color.

Although both are Tier I abilities, the other's is a specialized one, while Chen Xi's can only be considered general.

Therefore, the stealth level is definitely not high, especially when facing the monsters that appear here.

But it's better than nothing.

The gates of the Black Tower were pushed open continuously, but due to their immense size, the process seemed somewhat slow.

Suddenly, with a loud "smack!", when the door was a quarter open, a pair of claws with four steel knives slammed heavily on the door.

With a powerful push of its claws, the gate to the Black Tower opened at an accelerated pace.

Chen Xi was positioned to the side of the gate, so he couldn't see what was inside.

But he was all too familiar with the look of those claws.

Those are the forelimbs of the three-headed hellhound!

A few seconds later.

It was as if Chen Xi's guess had been confirmed.

A three-headed hellhound emerged from the gates of the Black Tower.

But this is not the end.

Following closely behind were Dragon Horse, Ghost Dragon, Immunity Pig, Black and White Sheep, Human-Rat, Chrysanthemum Tiger, and so on.

These creatures were all Three-Tiered Tower Slaves that Chen Xi had previously killed.

At this moment, the group emerged from behind the gate of the Black Tower.

5...

9...

15...

Hiding in the shadows, Chen Xi silently counted in his mind, adding one to his count for each three-tiered tower slave that walked out.

As the number of Ta Nu continued to increase, Chen Xi's expression became increasingly solemn.

To be honest, if this number of Tanus suddenly attacked him, Chen Xi didn't know if he could escape.

The probability of dying is much greater than the probability of living!

Given the current situation, Chen Xi can only wait and see.

Once he tries to escape, he will be relentlessly pursued by these Ta'nu.

Playing dead and remaining still actually gives you a better chance.

Although the situation is very dangerous, Chen Xi remains calm.

He made the right judgment, and at the same time, he stopped breathing.

With his current physical condition, although it hasn't been specifically tested, he should be able to hold his breath for a whole day without any problem.

In addition to stealth, this represents the maximum level of concealment that Chen Xi could achieve.

17!

This was the last Tanu to emerge; it was a human-rat.

Of all the Tanuki Chen Xi encountered along the way, he was the smallest.

It was only about a third the size of a dragon horse, with a human head and a rat's body, but it did not walk upright; instead, it moved on all fours like a rat.

It's somewhat eerie and terrifying.

Moreover, the breeds and corresponding numbers of these Ta'nu in the distance...

Aren't they the very Ta'nu I killed on my way here?

In other words...

The origin of the Tanus is the Black Tower!

They came out of the Black Tower.

Furthermore, these Ta Slaves are a supplement, exactly matching the number of Ta Slaves Chen Xi eliminated along the way.

Therefore, it appears that the number of Taurus in the last line of defense is fixed.

But isn't the replenishment speed too slow?

Chen Xi killed one dragon horse a day. From killing the first dragon horse to arriving at this position, it took more than 17 days.

More than half a month has passed, and you're only adding this now?

This rapid replenishment made Chen Xi instinctively think of finding a loophole.

From this perspective, if a superhuman arrives just in time for a vacancy in the Tanuki system...

There really is a chance to get in easily.

No wonder I didn't see any Tanus on the last leg of my journey; the Tanus on duty must have been reassigned to another vacant position.

This place is not a straight line, but a plane, so people may travel here at different times or at the same time from different routes.

You can think of the Black Tower as a central point, and superhumans and fakes alike will come from all directions.

But strangely, people coming from all directions will arrive at a common destination.

That is, Chen Xi's current location.

However, this lax defense mechanism also reflects Black Tower's attitude to some extent.

It doesn't strictly forbid you from going in, but once you're inside, you're responsible for the consequences!

In addition, there is another very strange point.

That is, none of these Tanukis had barbs on their foreheads.

Normally, they should have a "3" on their forehead, representing that they are triple-struck slaves.

But at this moment it is empty.

Chen Xi was puzzled and remained still.

The Tanu who came out did not rush to act, but instead lined up in an orderly fashion.

It was as if they were quietly waiting for a higher-ranking officer.

But after the last human-rat emerged, the Black Tower Gate was slowly closing, already two-thirds shut.

At this width, no large creatures can escape.

Just then.

The gate to the Black Tower came to a sudden stop with a clang.

Immediately afterwards, a small, white creature about three meters tall emerged from behind the door.

He had no hair on his body, but had two tails with barbs, and looked both thin and strong overall.

In terms of appearance, it leans towards human, having four limbs and walking upright, but it is clearly not human.

He had no fat on his body, as if he was so thin that only skin covered him, yet this skin was incredibly thick and sturdy.

That's what gave him the appearance of being both very thin and very strong.

Chen Xi used "he" to describe this white creature.

It's because the opponent has two important supporting characters, but lacks a fatal blow.

That's normal, though. They're not human; they just have some similarities in facial bones and body shape.

With a loud clang, the gate to the Black Tower slammed shut.

Without a doubt, this white creature was the last one.

Judging from his physique, he shouldn't be Tanu.

Instead, it was what Chen Xi had previously guessed: a high-ranking officer.

The other party's subsequent actions proved that Chen Xi's guess was correct.

The white creature walked up to the Ta's slaves, put its hands behind its back, and looked very arrogant.

He walked along, observing the 17 Tanu, and finally stopped in the center:

"You slaves!"

The white creature suddenly spoke.

Chen Xi, who was hiding in the shadows, felt a sudden jolt in her heart upon hearing this.

It wasn't that I was discovered.

The white creature was speaking in a language that was clearly not human, but Chen Xi understood it immediately!
