Zhang Qiling also tried picking up a piece of Wuyin Stone, feeling the yin energy enter his body.
After a moment, he asked Gu Cheng, "Young Master Gu, can these stones counter the powerful magnetic field in the cave?"
"That's right!"
Gu Cheng said, "Just as you said, the deeper you go into the cave, the greater the pressure from the powerful magnetic field. In fact, by the time I found the Nine-Story Demon Tower, I felt like I
was about to die. I was holding on through sheer willpower."
"At the time, I thought I had to see what that Nine-Story Demon Tower was all about, even if it killed me. Then I walked inside. Who would have thought that the moment I stepped into it, all
the effects of the powerful magnetic field would vanish without a trace?"
"I thought it was very strange!"
"Later, after some testing, I discovered that these stones could resist the effects of the powerful magnetic field."
"In a bit, we'll each carry some of these stones, and we'll be able to reach the Nine-Story Demon Tower safely."
Fatty said impatiently, "Then let's hurry up and get in there. I don't want to spend another second in this damned place."
Lao Hu and Fatty hurried off to pack their things.
Gu Cheng walked over to Zhang Qiling and looked at his teammates who still hadn't woken up.
"What about them?"
Zhang Qiling looked at them too, saying nothing for a long time.
His face was filled with pain.
A long while passed.
He said hoarsely, "If they still haven't woken up by now, their chances are probably slim. Perhaps... this is their fate."
Gu Cheng understood what Zhang Qiling meant.
He was prepared to abandon them.
But Gu Cheng had nothing to say
