The Bloody Trial That Eliminated Half the Participants? Qin Chuan Saw Through Its Bloody Nature!
The once-noisy platform fell utterly silent.
Everyone spread out, carving out a safe zone around the beam of light. They watched the Black Tower warily, but kept just as close an eye on Qin Chuan.
Cang Hai stood behind Qin Chuan and to one side. Looking at the old monsters cowering outside, he found his courage returning.
He leaned closer to Qin Chuan and lowered his voice.
"My lord, every one of them is after the Black Tower's treasures. You killed those three old monsters without breaking a sweat. Why not finish the rest off while they still can't figure out how strong you are? Then they won't be able to stab us in the back once the trial starts."
Qin Chuan looked at the four dark gold characters floating in midair.
"Finish them all off?" Qin Chuan turned to Cang Hai. "What would be the point?"
"They're our rivals." Cang Hai looked baffled. "The fewer there are, the better our chances of getting the treasure."
Qin Chuan raised a hand and tapped the energy wall of the Guidance Beam.
"What do you think this place is, a treasure hunt for children?" Qin Chuan pointed at the True Gods outside. "This tower can drain even a Void True God like the Judgment Archon dry. Its mutated Bottom Layer Logic comes down to one thing: eating."
Cang Hai froze and followed Qin Chuan's finger with his gaze.
"This tower is a masterless piece of equipment, and an exceptional one that's been starving for who knows how many tens of thousands of years. Those dozens of Crystal Tentacles didn't get their fill." Qin Chuan went on, "Do you think this so-called trial will hand you a multiple-choice test? Or put you in an arena to beat monsters and clear stages?"
