335: Location Book, Twenty Tribes Attack
Looking at the light ladder glowing with a soft white light, Tie Shengnan asked, "Hubby, are we going up together?"
The first floor was a direct teleportation in, and as soon as the countdown ended, everyone was attacked. Although the evil spirits' attacks weren't particularly strong, nor was their density high.
But no one could say for sure what the situation on the second floor would be like.
Huang Chen thought for a moment and said, "I'll go in first. My HP is thick enough that even if something unexpected happens, it'll be easier to handle."
"Okay! Communicate anytime if there's a problem. I just tried it, and communication is usable inside," Tie Shengnan nodded.
Although their attributes were much higher than ordinary players, compared to Huang Chen, who was wearing three Saint Artifacts, their HP and defense were several tiers lower.
"Alright!"
Huang Chen responded and stepped directly onto the light ladder.
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
-4452!
-324!
-4569!
-312!
...As soon as he entered the second floor, Huang Chen was attacked from four directions, and then continuous poison damage numbers kept floating above him.
Huang Chen looked closely and saw that the attackers were humanoid monsters with blood-red eyes and ferocious appearances.
The monsters all had long, scorpion-like tail hooks, the ends of which glowed with a terrifying green light.
"The attack power is indeed about 30% higher than the first floor," Huang Chen thought to himself. "And it seems to be wood-attribute attacks."
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
Before Huang Chen could act, the monsters' tail stings glowed green and shot out another green beam of light.
Huang Chen moved his feet continuously, dodging the attacks while casting a Detection Skill on them.
[Evil Seed Lv70 Rank: Special Monster]
"Ice Roar..."
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Endless wind and snow appeared, directly engulfing the Evil Seeds.
Huge damage numbers appeared above the Evil Seeds' heads, and in just two seconds, a hundred-meter radius vacuum zone was cleared.
Huang Chen looked around. This was a forest environment. Other than the monsters having higher levels and ranged attacks, there wasn't much difference from the first floor.
In fact, at a glance, the monster density was even lower than the first floor.
This made Huang Chen slightly relieved. If the monster strength increased by 30% on each floor, then clearing all nine floors today wouldn't be a problem.
After confirming that there was no danger around, Huang Chen sent a message to Tie Shengnan, telling All the women to come down.
As soon as Tie Shengnan entered, she glanced at the upper left corner.
[Countdown: 3512 seconds]
[Kills: 21/1500]
"1500 in an hour..." Tie Shengnan muttered. Without waiting for Huang Chen's command, she chose a direction and used Soul Severing Stab, heading straight for an Evil Seed a hundred meters away.
"Just like the first floor, everyone farm individually!"
Huang Chen instructed, then rushed in another direction.
Compared to the first floor, although the monsters' strength had increased, with everyone's power, fighting them was still relatively easy... Outside Jinling City, looking at the colorful book in Hao Tianyang's hand, Duanmu Ruichang asked, "Is this the Positioning Book?"
"That's right!"
Hao Tianyang chuckled and explained, "This is a Saint-tier special equipment left by our ancestors in the Star Abyss. As long as you input the target's clan name and personal name, the Positioning Book will guide us to that person. It can be used 5 times a day."
"And I've located Huang Chen 10 times in the past two days, and he's been in the same spot, a hundred thousand li away, completely unchanged."
Saying that, Hao Tianyang wrote the four characters 'Huaxia - Huang Chen' on the Positioning Book.
The Positioning Book trembled slightly, then hummed, and a large map appeared on it. At the center of the map was a red dot, faintly showing the outline of a hundred-meter tall tower. In the lower left corner of the map, a green dot shot out a line, connecting it to the red line, with the text [50,000 kilometers Southeast] annotated next to it.
"He's still there, as expected!"
After Hao Tianyang spoke, more than a dozen clan leaders craned their necks to look at the map.
"There's a tower in that place... could it be..." Duanmu Changrui said with a frown.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the dozen clan leaders immediately became extremely solemn.
Cang Lan continued Duanmu Changrui's words, saying, "If Huang Chen can already go to conquer that place, then his strength needs to be re-evaluated!"
Hao Tianyang looked around, and seeing the melancholic faces of the crowd, he couldn't help but snort, "No matter how strong he is, can he be stronger than our preparations?"
Upon hearing Hao Tianyang's words, the tense expressions on everyone's faces instantly relaxed, followed by thunderous laughter.
"Hahaha! Good!"
This time, to assassinate Huang Chen, they could be said to have made ample preparations, with each clan dispatching a million elites.
Most crucially, the four High Martial Clans each invited a Super God Rank Old Ancestor who resided in the Star Abyss!
Coupled with one God-rank expert dispatched by each of the other sixteen Mid Martial Clans, these twenty individuals had already secretly departed half a day ago.
At this moment, they were probably nearing the target location. As long as the Heaven-Shrouding Trapping Array was set up, Huang Chen would have no escape this time.
If Huang Chen and his core team were indeed conquering that legendary place, then it was perfect; they could be wiped out in one fell swoop, eliminating future troubles forever!
The laughter gradually subsided, and a cruel glint flashed in Hao Tianyang's eyes.
"If they are truly conquering the Mirror Shadow Tower, given the difficulty of that place, they won't clear it in less than ten to half a month!"
"All elites participating in this battle have learned the basic Sky Flight Technique, coupled with the 'Divine Travel Halo' buff that our clan's Saint Son just obtained, I estimate that the main army will reach the Mirror Shadow Tower in three days at the fastest!"
"By then, we will surely catch them off guard!"
"As for Huang Chen himself, he will be left to the Old Ancestors to deal with."
After hearing Hao Tianyang's plan, Duanmu Changrui's face also flushed with excitement.
"Brother Tianyang's words are exactly what I wanted!"
"With the Old Ancestors leading the way, the monsters along the path won't dare to obstruct us. Our army's marching speed will only be faster!"
"Good!" Hao Tianyang surveyed the crowd, waved his hand, and his voice was filled with undeniable resolve, "Everyone, assemble your troops! In half an hour, the entire army departs!"
...Mirror Shadow Tower, second floor.
After twenty minutes of hunting, Huang Chen and his group finally slew the last "Evil Seed" with their spears.
The kill count settled at 1500.
The light ladder leading to the third floor slowly appeared in the center of the forest.
Compared to the first floor, the monsters on this floor were indeed stronger, but more importantly, they were too sparsely distributed. Everyone spent a lot of time searching and traveling, which is why it took an extra twenty minutes.
Just as everyone was about to step onto the light ladder, Tie Shengnan's face suddenly turned ashen, and she quickly walked to Huang Chen's side.
Her voice was very low, but it carried an uncontrollable solemnity.
"Yang Nuo just sent urgent intelligence."
"The Twenty-Clan Allied Forces have gathered an army of tens of millions and have already departed from Jinling City, heading directly southeast!"
