"Arnold, the witch, and the last Shoe Woman Josie... they all have the qualifications."
"But unfortunately, Arnoldâs disciples do not. Although Arnold passed down the sealing ritual of Aries, which is sequence power..."
"Due to the lack of magic resistance value among the disciples, they canât even follow Arnoldâs ritual properly, let alone harness Arnoldâs power..."
"The Shoe Woman could only be sealed by the Godslayer Church, and no one could kill her. No one could absorb the âTowerâ, so the Shoe Woman Josie is still alive to this day."
"Bunker players can decode the contents of the parchment once their magic resistance value meets the standard. In other words, this sequence is different from others. Other sequences can be directly obtained, but the sequences with the Three Towers prefix require a base magic resistance value of 50 points, and... a bit of luck."
Undoubtedly, Wen Xishu had quite some luck. The items Ah Miao obtained and the parchment he tricked Oceania into giving him... granted Wen Xishu complete power.
That was the luck part.
But even if someone else gets the complete parchment, itâs useless without sufficient magic resistance value.
So overall, Wen Xishu realized there was a reason why this vortex was so intense.
The human camp, due to insufficient exploration times of the Deceit Tower, triggered a massive devour by the tower, which inevitably led to a general lack of magic resistance value in the human camp.
Without magic resistance value, even if you get an item, you wonât know what itâs for.
So the true difficulty of this vortex was actually quite terrifying.
But coincidentally, Wen Xishu just happened to have an exceedingly high magic resistance value.
After absorbing all of Shoe Woman Josieâs items... Wen Xishu felt incredibly wealthy.
"Next time, I might be able to see how strong my sequence or items can get with the Tower Power Value!"
The prompt appeared even before Wen Xishu finished absorbing the last jar.
When Wen Xishu fully absorbed the various parts and pieces of Shoe Woman Josie... everyone had a prompt in their minds.
[Congratulations, you have destroyed the orange vortex. You will soon go to the guide to receive your respective rewards. We will grant you partial or complete rewards based on your performance in this vortex.]
[Vortex exit countdown â Two minutes.]
As soon as this prompt appeared, the crowd erupted.
Some cheered, while others cried.
"We... won?"
"Itâs not that we won! Itâs Lord Wen Xishu who won!"
"Great, we survived!"
Most of the ones cheering were the able-bodied, while in Ling Fuâs group, the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled were crying softly.
They had thought they were the ones abandoned, but now, they had survived!
Out of the more than two hundred people, many died, but compared to the survivors, the number of deaths was almost negligible.
Names like Fang Tianhen and Ayoovic were not forgotten by the people.
The last two minutes were filled with jubilation and emotional release as people laughed and cried to their heartsâ content.
Wen Xishu sat on the ground, very satisfied with this victory.
But he still had some cautions:
"Everyone, when you return to the bunker, there may be other vortexes that could absorb you... donât stay too long on the second level of the bunker. If you donât want to experience another Deceit Tower, quickly move on to the third level."
At this time, Ling Fu asked:
"Lord Wen Xishu, what about you?"
Wen Xishu replied:
"This is only one of the ten vortexes. Clearly, to end the massive devour sooner, we need to continue destroying the other vortexes."
"I will head to the next vortex."
The difficulty of the next vortex is actually lower than this one. Wen Xishu wasnât too afraid.
However, the same couldnât be said for the others.
Although the atmosphere at this time was perfect for someone to say "Lord Wen Xishu, take us along,"
almost no one said that.
Lang Haidu, Ling Fu, and Ling Chen all knew that luck played a significant role this time. Of course, Wen Xishu also made no mistakes in the strategy part.
But even so, everyone still felt that the Deceit Tower was a matter of nine deaths and one life.
In the final few seconds of the countdown, no one was willing to fight the other vortexes with Wen Xishu.
Wen Xishu didnât mind, he merely glanced at Ling Fu:
"If you become interested in climbing the Deceit Tower in the future, find me at the Three Towers Academy. And... be nicer to your brother; that might bring you good luck in some levels of the Deceit Tower."
Ling Fu didnât quite understand the last sentence but still nodded.
Clearly, although his performance was far inferior to Wen Xishuâs, and could even be said to be non-existent, Wen Xishu still noticed Ling Fuâs potential.
In comparison, the other sideâs Lang Haidu seemed unimpressive, but Lang Haidu didnât mind. To him, he was just a merchant, and as long as he didnât make mistakes or embarrass himself under the lead of geniuses, he was content.
After Wen Xishu finished conversing with Ling Fu, he turned to Yue Yun and others:
"Shall we continue?"
Yue Yun smiled:
"Itâs quite interesting. Thank you for showing me the process of climbing the Deceit Tower."
Xiaojin said:
"Wow, can I continue to follow Brother Wen?"
Wen Xishu shook his head:
"Anyone willing to withdraw can do so. Youâve already made a great contribution. But I donât plan to stop."
"If youâre willing to continue fighting in the vortex... meet at the bunker safe house later."
With these words, the countdown ended.
Everyoneâs figures began to disappear, being transported to where the guide was.
Zheng Zai, of course, was willing to follow Wen Xishu; after all, he was Wen Xishuâs younger brotherâs weapon. But at this moment, he didnât care much about getting any rewards.
He was very eager to return to the bunker to see peopleâs reactions once the largest vortex had vanished...
