Relic Opens, Grayish-White Stone Tower

Bertha Vermi immediately took out her longbow, wanting to attack Lu Yuan.

Just then, the black-furred Kobold beside her held Bertha Vermi's hand:

"Third Miss, please wait!"

Bertha Vermi turned her head to look at the black-furred Kobold, her face full of anger:

"Jing Ba! What are you doing?! How dare you stop me?!"

Jing Ba's eyebrows twitched:

"Third Miss, it's not that I want to stop you, but something is not quite right."

Bertha Vermi frowned, looking at Jing Ba.

"What's not right? If you can't give me a reason, I will definitely complain to my father!"

Jing Ba took a deep breath, and a hint of anger couldn't help but appear in his eyes.

But facing his Third Miss, he could only helplessly endure his anger.

"Third Miss, look at that human's side, the human youth who is talking and laughing with him."

Bertha turned her head to look at Liu Xi beside Lu Yuan.

She frowned and said, "What's the problem?"

Jing Ba smiled wryly, "Of course there's a problem. That human is called Liu Xi, and he is the person in charge of the Tianfu Conglomerate of Great Revelation Star in Sandstone City. He is very powerful, almost as strong as me. Moreover, the power of the Tianfu Conglomerate is even stronger than our Vimi Conglomerate."

"What?! Stronger than our conglomerate?"

Bertha couldn't help but frown.

Although she hated Lu Yuan, she wasn't stupid. Now that Lu Yuan and the person in charge of the Tianfu Conglomerate were talking and laughing, looking close, if she attacked Lu Yuan now, it would obviously provoke a counterattack from the Tianfu Conglomerate.

Bertha looked at Lu Yuan in the distance with anger in her eyes, and couldn't help clenching her fists.

Jing Ba beside her said:

"Third Miss, we can't act now. If it causes a counterattack from the Tianfu Conglomerate, it will have a significant impact on the development of our Vimi Conglomerate. When the boss blames us, even Third Miss will probably be reprimanded."

"Hmph! I know that without you telling me!"

Bertha said coldly.

She glanced at Lu Yuan again, put away the longbow in her hand, and said:

"In that case, let him go for now. But... why is this human here?! Shouldn't he be in Graystone Forest? In such a short time, he actually appeared in the inner circle of the Sandstone Dungeon?"

Jing Ba looked at Lu Yuan, also a little puzzled.

He frowned slightly: "Third Miss, we have been searching the Graystone Forest area before. Now it seems that it is normal that we couldn't find him."

Bertha nodded: "You send someone to investigate when this human came to Sandstone Dungeon! No wonder he was able to escape our search all the time!"

"Okay, Third Miss, let's go over there first."

The group walked towards the Kobold area.

Just as they reached the Kobold area, a Kobold with brown and black fur walked over and smiled:

"Jing Ba, you really came. Greetings, Miss Bertha."

Bertha nodded with a cold face.

The Kobold was taken aback, then smiled and said, "What's wrong, Miss Bertha? Did someone make you angry? I wonder if you need any help? Our Moon Bone Conglomerate and Vimi Conglomerate are the best partners. If there's anything we can help with, please don't hesitate to ask."

The Jing Ba on the side said with a wry smile:

"A human offended Third Miss. Now that human seems to have an unusual relationship with the Tianfu Conglomerate, and we can't deal with him."

"Human? Tianfu Conglomerate?"

The Kobold was stunned and looked in the direction of the Tianfu Conglomerate, seeing Liu Xi talking to Lu Yuan.

His expression was a little strange as he said:

"Is Miss Bertha talking about... that human talking to Liu Xi?"

Hearing his words, Bertha and Jing Ba were both taken aback.

Jing Ba said, "Mao Si, do you know him?"

"I know him, 'Black Knight' Lu Yuan. This human has been quite famous in this area recently. I didn't expect him to offend Miss Bertha? He's really courting death!"

"'Black Knight' Lu Yuan?"

Jing Ba frowned: "He's already made a name for himself? How is that possible?"

"Why is it impossible? That human can now kill Black-Striped Snakes. His strength is not bad. Of course, his strength isn't the key. The most important thing is that he can kill hundreds of fierce beasts every day. That's how he became known."

"Kill hundreds of fierce beasts every day?! In the Sandstone Dungeon?! That's impossible!"

Bertha immediately objected upon hearing this, "He was still in Graystone Forest a few days ago! In such a short time, he can kill hundreds of fierce beasts in the Sandstone Dungeon every day?!"

"He was still in Graystone Forest a few days ago?"

Mao Si narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this and looked at Lu Yuan:

"Before, people have been guessing that Lu Yuan's improvement speed is very fast, and he may have just awakened. Now, hearing Miss Bertha's words, it can almost be confirmed. This human is probably a very strong genius."

"A very strong genius?!"

Hearing this, Bertha gritted her teeth and looked at Lu Yuan with a cold face.

Hearing that her enemy's talent was better than hers, she felt particularly dissatisfied at this moment.

Seeing Bertha's expression, Mao Si's eyes flashed, and he smiled:

"Miss Bertha, it's not convenient to act now that Lu Yuan is close to Liu Xi, but he will leave after the Relic ends. It won't be too late to act then."

Jing Ba frowned slightly: "What about the Tianfu Conglomerate's side?"

"Don't worry, I don't think he came with the people from the Tianfu Conglomerate, but with a few ordinary human Gene Warriors. They probably won't leave together then."

Hearing this, Bertha's eyes lit up, and she smiled:

"Good! It's decided then! How dare he attack me? I must kill him!"

Lu Yuan and Liu Xi chatted for a short while when suddenly, streaks of white light appeared on the patterns of the Bronze Gate.

Everyone was alarmed by the change in the Bronze Gate.

They looked towards the direction of the gate.

The smile on Liu Xi's face disappeared, his face full of seriousness:

"The Relic is about to open."

Lu Yuan's Greatsword appeared in his hand, Green also gripped the giant shield in his hand, Zhuo Ming swallowed his saliva, his face full of tension, and also gripped his longsword tightly.

Everyone was on full alert at this moment.

For a time, the original noisy sounds disappeared, and the atmosphere was very quiet.

The white light on the Bronze Gate traveled along the patterns, as if an invisible hand was painting a complex pattern on the door.

Before long, it covered the patterns of the entire gate.

With a click.

The Bronze Gate automatically opened inward.

Inside the gate was a gray rocky land.

The land stretched into the distance, with no end in sight, and on the land, a gray-white stone tower stood.

It was the only building on the flat rocky land.

Seeing the stone tower through the gate, many people widened their eyes and couldn't help but hold their breath.

Liu Xi showed a happy smile and said:

"I didn't expect it to be a Trial-type Relic!"

"Trial Relic?"

Lu Yuan didn't know much about Relics.

"There are several types of Relics, exploration-type Relics, trial-type Relics, slaughter-type Relics, and so on. Among all Relics, trial-type Relics are the safest! Other types of Relics may encounter opponents far beyond your strength range, but trial Relics encounter opponents based on your strength. Look at the stone tower inside the gate, that should be the Trial Tower, having a Trial Tower is a typical trial-type Relic. Our luck is pretty good."

Liu Xi's face was full of joy.

Lu Yuan was also happy when he heard Liu Xi's explanation.

In that case, the probability of obtaining treasures would be much greater.

Not only Lu Yuan and the others, but almost everyone showed a happy expression.

"This time we've made a profit!"

"Go in! Start the trial!"

One by one, Gene Warriors rushed into the gate.

Liu Xi said, "Brother Lu Yuan! Let's go, let's go in too."

Lu Yuan nodded and entered the Relic gate with the others.

He looked around.

Apart from the stone tower, there were no other buildings. The gray earth stretched into the distance, and the space was of unknown size.

However, from the Relic gate outside, it was impossible to see that there would be such a large space inside.

This was the magic of the Relic.

Everyone came to the bottom of the stone tower. The door of the stone tower was open, and white light flickered inside, making it impossible to see the internal situation clearly.

Everyone looked at the stone door flashing with white light, somewhat hesitant.

At this moment, a Kobold carrying a Greatsword sneered and said:

"If no one dares to go in, then I'll be the first!"

He took off the Greatsword and stepped into the stone door.

Liu Xi looked at the Kobold who went in and said:

"This is 'Iron Axe' Kaman, he is very strong. I heard that in reality he is an enlightenment instructor in the Kobold military. He is an iron-blooded faction and has always been hostile to us humans. Brother Lu Yuan, you are a genius, this Kobold is afraid he will be watching you."

Lu Yuan frowned slightly when he heard this.

He had felt that this Kobold was hostile to him before.

So that's the reason?

"If he's watching me, then he's watching me. I'm not that easy to deal with."

Lu Yuan smiled.

"Hahaha, if you join our Tianfu Conglomerate, we will all help you."

Liu Xi still didn't forget to pull Lu Yuan into the group.

Lu Yuan smiled and refused.

After Kaman went in without any accidents, the others also stepped into the stone door one after another.

"Brother Lu Yuan, I'm going in too!"

Liu Xi smiled and said to Lu Yuan before entering the stone door.

"Yuan Ge, let's go in too!"

Zhuo Ming had a look of eagerness on his face, his eyes full of anticipation.

Lu Yuan smiled: "Yes, good luck to you."

He also stepped into the Trial Tower.
