: The Tower Was Stolen

Chapter 33: The Tower Was Stolen

Alpha easily dealt with the monsters on the fifth floor and was quite excited. He didn't bother to pick up the five Soul Stones that had appeared on the ground and quickly ran back to Bai Qi's side.

Crackling.

(Master, how did I do?)

Bai Qi laughed and said, "You did a very good job. Hurry up and absorb those Soul Stones, then let's hurry up and go to the next level."

After another racial evolution, Alpha's various stats have been significantly improved, which was within Bai Qi's expectations.

However, the most urgent task is to clear the sixth floor as soon as possible, lest someone else steal the first-clear reward for the sixth floor.

The Tower of Lamentation has nine floors, and the rewards for the first clear naturally increase as you progress. Bai Qi didn't want to just give it away like that.

Because it had been upgraded to the first tier, Alpha absorbed the materials very quickly, and it only took a short while to absorb all five Soul Stones.

However, this time the level did not increase, only the energy level became more abundant.

There is still a significant difference between first-order and zero-order.

Seeing that Alpha was ready, Bai Qi hurriedly led Alpha into the teleportation array to the next level.

The familiar icy environment remained, but instead of the ten ice swordsmen Bai Qi had anticipated, there were five ice demons, five ice demon guards, and five ice swordsmen.

"The owner of this secret tower really knows how to have fun!"

Faced with the completely unpredictable increase in difficulty, Bai Qi was not surprised at all, and quickly issued instructions to Alpha.

"Alpha, take care of the Ice Demon first, then we'll deal with the other enemies together."

In raids, prioritize targeting mages and healers; this is common sense in every game.

Crackling.

Upon receiving the command, Alpha leaped up from its spot with a heavy stomp of its feet, instantly appearing in front of an Ice Demon and piercing it through with a single sword strike.

Alpha continued its actions, using the Ice Ghost's body to rush to the other side, and directly took down two more Ice Ghosts.

However, this prompted the other ferocious beasts to react as well. The Ice Ghost Guard threw out its ice spear, forcibly forcing Alpha back, while the Ice Swordsman, who also wielded an ice sword, launched a surprise attack on Alpha.

"Alpha, use the power grid."

Seeing that Alpha was about to be surrounded, Bai Qi immediately issued new orders.

Alpha forced back the two ice swordsmen with a single sword strike, then pried two metal spheres from the grooves in the ice armor and threw them forward.

Bang!

The metal sphere exploded in the air, turning into two large nets that fell towards the ice swordsman. Although the ice swordsman quickly dodged, the nets fell too fast, and several of his heads were still trapped. Before he could struggle, his movements were interrupted by the electric current emitted from the net terminals.

Whether it's an Ice Ghost, an Ice Ghost Guardian, or an Ice Swordsman of a higher race, they all possess both ice and undead attributes. Although they are protected by a layer of ice, they are still susceptible to damage from strong electric currents.

Although the effect is not strong, a brief pause is enough.

The moment the Ice Swordsman and other ferocious beasts were trapped, Alpha delivered the finishing blow, leaving only two Ice Ghosts, three Ice Ghost Guardians, and one Ice Swordsman on the field.

"Alpha, unleash your attack and eliminate them as quickly as possible."

Crackling.

(Received, Master.)

Alpha pointed his longsword and launched the first attack on the enemy. The huge filial son sword in Alpha's hands seemed no different from the white bone dagger, and he wielded it with ease.

In comparison, the attacks of the Ice Ghost Guards and Ice Swordsmen, who also wield melee weapons, are much cruder. Apart from using skills to have some effect on Alpha, their normal attacks are like those of a child with a stick, posing no threat whatsoever.

Indeed, the strongest basic attack is the key to victory.

Relax, relax~

……

The sixth floor of the Tower of Lamentation.

Xia Xuan looked at the three ferocious beasts in front of him, who were in a sorry state under the barrage of fire from the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Beast, and a confident smile appeared on his face.

The changes on the sixth floor did surprise him, but the simple increase in quantity did not have much impact on him.

After all, his MetalGreymon is equipped with a large number of large-scale attack weapons, and he loves team battles the most.

If the spirit level of MetalGreymon hadn't been too low, making it unable to withstand overly powerful weapons, he could have cleared the game even faster.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Thinking of the twenty apprentice beast tamers competing with him for the rankings, Xia Xuan felt somewhat disdainful.

A group of ordinary citizens also wanted to compete with him for the ranking. If his father hadn't said it would have a bad influence, he would have booked the entire venue.

Control of a secret realm tower is far more valuable than soul stones and ice spirit iron.

Finally, under the mindless bombardment of the MetalGreymon, all the ferocious beasts on the sixth floor were wiped out. However, what appeared in front of Xia Xuan was not Ice Spirit Iron or anything of higher quality, but ten Soul Stones.

"How could this be? Soul Stones should just be a regular reward. Could someone have cleared the game before me?"

He, the young master of the prestigious Xia Group and a genius of the Star Machinery Academy, actually had his tower stolen in a small place like Gusu City?

Xia Xuan frowned, somewhat puzzled by the reason.

He was the one who first cleared the fifth floor, meaning that no one had reached this point before him. The only one who had any hope of catching up with him was Han Wei.

However, Xia Xuan simply couldn't believe that Han Wei could clear the sixth level before him.

Xia Xuan didn't bother to think too much. After seeing the checkpoint leading to the seventh floor appear, he didn't even bother to pick up the ten Soul Stones and just stepped through.

……

The seventh floor.

As soon as Bai Qigang entered the seventh floor, he felt a gust of cold wind rush towards him. Even though he had changed into his winter clothes early on, he still couldn't help but shiver.

"What kind of place is this?"

Bai Qi tightened his clothes, looking at the gloomy, dark graveyard in front of him, feeling increasingly puzzled about the owner of this secret tower.

One minute we're on an ice field, the next it's a graveyard. Are you filming a horror movie?

woo woo woo...

Just as Bai Qi had this thought, a series of low, mournful cries came from the graveyard, giving Bai Qi goosebumps.

However, after searching for a long time, Bai Qi could only hear the voice circling around him, but he could not find the other party's real body no matter what he did.

"What a blunder. We didn't bring that stupid dog along; otherwise, it would still be useful now."

Bai Qi was in such a rush to leave this morning that he forgot to bring the husky along, which now seems a bit silly.

Bai Qi and Alpha searched for a long time but couldn't find any trace of the enemy, and Bai Qi gradually lost patience.

"Since we can't find it, let's use an area-of-effect attack first."

Crackling.

(receive!)

Alpha's soul fire surged, and he unleashed Ice Age once more. The surging ice flowers instantly froze everything within a ten-meter radius around the two of them, and a ghost wrapped in blue flames emerged from the ground before the ice covered the surface.
