Chapter 32: Kill One Person Every Ten Steps
Gao Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "The advantage of the mechanical department is indeed not small, but there are not many people like him."
Han Wei said: "It's normal. The future heir of the Xia Group is not short of money. He is not as stingy as other mechanical beast masters."
"Although the mechanical beast taming speed is fast, the consumption is indeed not small. The average family cannot afford it."
Gao Cheng nodded, and Bai Qi's figure suddenly appeared in his mind.
I haven't seen him since the training started. With that little skeleton's abnormal speed, I don't know if he can make it into the top 20.
"The rune on the fifth floor has lit up!"
An exclamation attracted everyone's attention. The runes on the fifth layer that were originally flickering had stabilized, and the runes on the sixth layer also began to flicker.
"Xia Xuan has indeed passed the fifth level. I wonder if he can pass the sixth level."
Han Wei glanced at the sixth floor of the Tower of Lamentations, and a hint of fighting spirit flashed in his eyes.
He only contracted his first pet a year ago, but its strength has surpassed mine. Should we say he is gifted or very wealthy?
"A-choo! Um, I think I'm late?"
Just when everyone's attention was focused on the Tower of Lamentations, Bai Qi finally arrived. However, he was obviously in poor condition. He sniffed hard from time to time, and it was obvious that he had a cold.
Gao Cheng noticed Bai Qi and immediately ran over and asked, "Bai Qi, what's wrong with you?"
Bai Qi rubbed his nose and said, "It's nothing, I just caught a cold these two days."
He has been practicing skills with Alpha these past two days. Although he has taken good protective measures, he still got infected.
"Frozen?"
Gao Cheng glanced at the scorching sun above his head and was speechless. He asked, "Are you here to break into the Tower of Lamentation as well?"
Bai Qi nodded and said, "I remember my ranking, um... oh yes, it was 19th. I almost didn't have the chance to come."
In order to avoid attracting unnecessary attention, Qin Jiang gave Bai Qi a lower ranking, and after hearing Bai Qi's ranking, the people around him no longer paid much attention to him.
Even the top few people didn’t make it, so what can a mere 19th place do?
"It's not bad to be in the top 20, but I suggest you be mentally prepared."
Gao Cheng pointed at the Tower of Lamentation and said, "Although this secret tower is open to us trainee beastmasters, it is quite difficult. You'd better pay more attention."
Gao Cheng patiently told Bai Qi the details of the first four floors of the Tower of the Dead, and said, "That's all I know. I hope it can be of some help to you."
"Brother Gao, thank you very much."
Bai Qi said: "By the way, Brother Gao, what is your reward for the fourth level?"
One piece of Ice Spirit Iron helped Alpha acquire ice attribute skills. If he had a few more pieces, his skills would definitely be improved a lot.
Anyway, Gao Cheng's pet is a Fire Armor Scorpion, which does not match the attributes of Ice Spirit Iron. After some negotiation, it should be possible to sell it to himself.
"They are three high-level soul stones. I passed them slowly and didn't get the first-pass reward."
Gao Cheng scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, obviously feeling a little ashamed.
Among those who came to climb the tower, he was the oldest, but his results were not the best. He was indeed a little embarrassed to say it out loud.
"Is there a first-time reward for each level?"
Bai Qi discovered a new world, grabbed Gao Cheng, and asked, "Are you sure there are on every floor?"
"Well, that's what the instructor said, but the first pass rewards for the first three levels have been taken away by the Beast Taming Corps, so only the last few levels are left."
Gao Cheng nodded, glanced at the flickering runes on the sixth layer, and said, "But if nothing unexpected happens, they should all be taken by Xia Xuan, right?"
"Xia Xuan?"
Bai Qi quickly remembered Xia Xuan's identity.
A talented freshman at the Star Machinery Academy, a double major student in both Beast Taming and Combat and Mechanical Weaponry, he is definitely a celebrity.
However, Bai Qi's attention is not on Xia Xuan, but on the rune on the fifth layer that has already lit up.
Old man Qin has misled me!
Why don’t you make it clear that there are first-pass rewards for each level!
The first three levels were fine, after all, they were not open at that time. If he knew that there would be first-pass rewards for each of the following levels, how could he have been leisurely at home until now?
Now, one floor of the tower has been stolen. It’s a huge loss!
Looking at the increasingly condensed light of the sixth-layer runes, Bai Qi immediately gave up the thought of wandering around. He ignored Lu Yuan who wanted to say hello to him and rushed into the Tower of Lamentations in a hurry.
This guy, why is he still so anxious?
Lu Yuan felt a little embarrassed being ignored, but fortunately no one noticed him here, so Lu Yuan pretended nothing happened.
"Gao Cheng, do you know this person?"
Han Wei said: "Why don't I seem to have seen him?"
Gao Cheng said: "He is a student of the Mechanical Weaponry Institute. I met him during a previous mission. Well, his strength is pretty good."
“I see.”
When Han Wei heard that they were students from the Mechanical and Weaponry College, he lost interest and found a place nearby to sit down.
The students of the Mechanical Weapon College are no different from traditional beast tamers in that their major is breeding. It is already quite good if they can make it into the top 20 in the training assessment.
However, it's still a little bit difficult to get him to take it seriously.
…
The Tower of Lamentations.
As soon as Bai Qi entered the tower, he worked his way through the tower like a pro and quickly cleared the first three floors.
Because he had already passed the level, Bai Qi would not receive any more rewards if he passed it again, so he did not have much expectation for the fourth level. With Alpha's full strength, he also passed the fourth level at a rapid speed.
Looking at Alpha, whose ice armor did not have a single scratch on it, Bai Qi entered the fifth floor without hesitation.
As soon as Alpha appeared, ten ice ghost guards appeared one after another and quickly moved towards Alpha, trying to surround Alpha.
"Alpha, try that move."
Crunch.
(Yes, Master.)
Alpha nodded , held the sword in his hands with both hands, and plunged it heavily into the ice field under his feet.
Ice Age!
After Bai Qi let out a somewhat childish roar, icy flowers quickly spread out from the tip of the Filial Piety Sword and soon expanded to the feet of the Ice Ghost Guards.
And before the Ice Ghost Guards could react, the energy spread upwards along their bodies, freezing all of them in an instant.
The Ice Ghost Guard also has ice attributes. After a brief delay, it began to struggle, and the ice layer on the surface of its body soon showed signs of breaking.
But it was too late.
While controlling the Ice Ghost Guards, Alpha started moving. The frozen ground did not affect Alpha's movements. Instead, his speed became even faster. In an instant, he beheaded all the Ice Ghost Guards.
Kill one person every ten steps, and leave no trace in a thousand miles.
This is probably the scenario I'm talking about.
Wow, so handsome!
