Chapter 2033: Chapter 2034: Frenzied Tower Rush
His figure emerged, and he had already appeared on the eighth floor of the Tower of Trials.
According to the original plan, he was supposed to first contact Liu Mei and Liu Bing!
If the three of them joined forces, dealing with Liu Cheng would have been easy, but now, he had to change the plan!
Before long, he arrived at the entrance of the ninth floor!
The tenth floor, the eleventh floor...
The elder monitoring from outside had become numb.
However, gradually, by the time he reached the nineteenth floor, his speed had slowed down.
Here, the number of demon beasts had increased, not to mention their spiritual intelligence was not much different from that of the Human Race. Often, as soon as Ye Luo appeared, he would be besieged by demon beasts.
And he had no choice but to fight them off.
Gazing at the demon cores on the ground, he suddenly remembered Liu Cheng’s previous frenzy in slaughtering demon beasts, all for these demon cores!
Could it be because of... Dragon Qi?
He discovered that, compared to lower-level demon beasts, the demon cores of higher-level ones only had purer energy and spiritual energy, but as for the Dragon Qi, it hardly changed!
But even if a large number of demon cores were gathered, the Dragon Qi in them wouldn’t amount to much, at least not enough to greatly affect a cultivator!
Unable to understand, he simply chose not to ponder on it, and Ye Luo dashed forward.
The twenty-first floor was a watershed.
These intermediate twenty floors were the best places for genius disciples to train, and presumably, Liu Mei and the others would soon come here too.
The spiritual energy here had changed significantly compared to the lower twenty floors.
Even Ye Luo couldn’t help but want to stop and cultivate for a while, but he didn’t have the time!
Sighing, he began searching for the entrance to the next floor.
After a few steps, he stopped.
In front of him was a very ordinary plant, something Liu Mei and the others would definitely ignore.
But Ye Luo crouched down; this was actually a Dragon Beard Herb!
This type of herb generally grows in the dragon clan’s cemetery because it needs to absorb Dragon Soul power to grow!
Imagine, which dragon would be so idle as to constantly supply Dragon Soul power to a plant!
Moreover, this Dragon Soul power is extremely precious to the dragon clan.
However, in the dragon clan’s cemetery, there was plenty of Dragon Soul power, enough for the Dragon Beard Herb to grow.
So, does this mean that beneath the Dragon Beard Herb lies a dragon burial?
He used his hand to brush away the soil below and retrieve the Dragon Beard Herb. Although this herb is a valuable medicinal material, it held no allure for Ye Luo.
What he truly cared about was whether there were dragon corpses beneath this Dragon Beard Herb!
And he guessed right!
It wasn’t long before a small piece of Dragon Bone was unearthed.
Seeing this crystal-clear, snow-white dragon bone, a wave of sorrow surged through his heart.
It was a purely instinctive reaction.
"Damn, it seems the dragon corpses aren’t only on the top nine floors!" Ye Luo cursed inwardly.
But he also realized that this Dragon Bone clearly belonged to ordinary dragons, whose level was much lower than his, even though they were from the dragon clan.
Yet, he couldn’t fathom why the dragon clan, which prudently managed its members, hadn’t noticed the disappearance of so many dragons.
Or perhaps there were hidden secrets within this.
Now, however, no one was there to answer him, and he could only rely on himself.
Thus, he got another goal, which was to search for Dragon Beard Herbs!
Almost every time he found one, there would surely be something related to the dragon clan beneath.
However, the appearance of a Dragon Beard Herb almost always meant a dragon had fallen there!
Throughout the entire twenty-first floor, Ye Luo found three of them!
Now he understood why this twenty-first floor was different from the lower twenty floors!
The reason was the presence of dragon corpses!
Dragons are a noble race, not because they are mythologized, but because their bodies are treasures!
The bodies of just these few dragons increased the Dragon Power in this space, indirectly altering the spatial rules.
However, this speculation made him shiver with fear.
If that’s the case, does each floor above have dragon corpses? Moreover, the higher the floor, the more dragon bodies there are!
For the dragon clan, this was a complete hell!
If such news spread, who knows how the dragon clan would react.
Additionally, Ye Luo became even more cautious. Having discovered such a secret, he could only imagine his fate if the Kunwu Sect found out.
The twenty-second floor! Once again, Ye Luo was besieged by the beasts.
This time, it was quite troublesome; these demon beasts had thick skin, and defeating each one was exceptionally challenging!
Of course, these demon beasts couldn’t really harm him; it was just a bit of a time waste.
Seeing the dense array of demon beasts ahead, Ye Luo felt somewhat uneasy.
If this continued, he feared he wouldn’t even make it past the thirtieth floor before running out of time!
Clearly, he needed to think of a strategy!
While he was contemplating, suddenly he heard footsteps. Whirling around, he saw Liu Bing walking over from a distance.
Spotting Ye Luo, Liu Bing was evidently surprised and walked straight towards him.
What shocked Ye Luo more was that those demon beasts didn’t dare to attack Liu Bing at all, as if there was something around him that those beasts feared.
"I didn’t expect you to be even faster than me!" Liu Bing asked with ease.
Ye Luo nodded slightly, "You seem to have a way to restrain these demon beasts!"
Liu Bing chuckled, "I do, but I don’t know how long I can sustain it. If we go up a few more levels and the demon beasts become much stronger, it might not work!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Luo was overjoyed! Even if they went a few more floors up, it would still buy him quite some time!
"Take me up!"
Liu Bing looked at him puzzled, "What madness has seized you? There’s a lot of good stuff on each level, and once you go up, you can’t come back down!"
"Take me up!" Ye Luo’s tone turned cold.
"Liu Qing, I am not your slave, don’t force me!"
"Bite!" Ye Luo simply spat out a word.
In the next moment, Liu Bing’s body began to tremble.
"You!" He looked at Ye Luo angrily.
"I’ll say it one last time, take me up!"
In the end, Liu Bing surrendered. After all, that damned insect gnawing at his meridians was too terrifying to endure.
"How did I end up encountering you, this harbinger of doom!" He mumbled while leading the way in front.
It’s uncertain what method Liu Bing used, but he managed to make those demon beasts avoid them. As a result, they quickly ascended three levels, reaching the twenty-fourth floor, though Liu Bing’s expression was grim; he had missed out on so many treasures on those three levels!
