From the previous conversation, Wen Xishu was certain of one thing.
The unfortunate people who once inhabited the Desire Tower, now the leaders of the Slaughter Tower, constantly yearn to become stronger.
And the way to become stronger seems to be by hunting other monsters.
Wen Xishu decided to inquire about their current situation:
"Jack, Jennifer, are you still in that building?"
It was Jack who responded. Jack’s written replies appeared quite serious and solemn, contrasting sharply with his blackened persona where he would tear off people’s faces with a twisted smile at the slightest disagreement:
"Of course, we won’t leave here. It’s great here. Every day there’s rat meat to eat, and plenty of other wandering monsters. Mo’en City is an interesting place, full of sick people. We enjoy devouring them."
Everyone had already read it instantly. The atmosphere in the chat group was lively.
Wen Xishu couldn’t help but think, if he could lock the team function, lock the chat group function, and add a teleport function...
Then, wouldn’t he be a regional overlord? While other forces were slowly expanding outwards from a single city, he could freely spread across various cities.
Of course, Scorpio’s dagger would have to be upgraded to achieve that.
The second to reply was Jennifer:
"I still enjoy staying in Mo’en City with Uncle Jack, hehe. We have our own building, and life is quite cozy. It’s just that sometimes I still want to go out and see."
This statement made the An Family Brothers in Deep City quite envious.
At this moment, the An Family Brothers were the weakest among the leaders. After all, there were huge disparities between leaders.
Upon hearing about the building, they knew the other party was different from them, who were exhausted from constantly wandering as wild leaders.
An Youxuan felt deeply ashamed. Despite so long, he still couldn’t invade any building, because the monsters in Deep City were too numerous.
Deep City was a coastal city in Longxia, comparable to Silicon City in the Free Country. This city was also notorious for its intense competition. Under the past splendor and immense pressure, many twisted monsters were born here. They might be employees from a large company, bosses of new firms, or migrant workers from other places.
Tang Rui listened quietly, thinking, he indeed knows many people, he has so many friends.
However, Wen Xishu felt that there were still too few people, not enough to create the bustling atmosphere with 99+ messages every time you look away. The revolution is not yet successful, more effort is needed.
"What’s up with the rats you mentioned? And what about that boy?" Wen Xishu asked.
"It’s Leo, not someone we can provoke. Leo likes recruiting those grand leaders. The rats were about to be eaten by us, but the head rat was recruited by Leo. The rats, having gained some power, are now a bit troublesome for Uncle Jack and me to deal with."
It was still Jennifer responding:
"Although they’re still not our match, the strengthening of the rats has changed the landscape of Mo’en City."
Leo... So it comes to the zodiac now?
Wen Xishu also thought that perhaps by entering the Slaughter Tower, he could straightforwardly unlock certain information. Now he had unlocked some information about another zodiac sign.
Virgo might be related to women, Gemini to uniquely bonded pairs, and Leo to those possessing great power.
"Do you know anything about the owners of these zodiac signs? Like Leo, Gemini?"
"We only know that they are gods. They seem to be bound by certain rules, prohibiting them from directly engaging in wars. Their powers influence the entire world, constantly recruiting people who fit their traits."
"Wars are fought through their subordinates, but under extreme circumstances, they might intervene. Their power seems even stronger than the red houses in some regions. But it’s hard to say, some red houses are also quite terrifying."
Wen Xishu refrained from asking what the red house was, to preserve his high-status image.
Though he was a big figure in the chat group, by the campfire, he was undoubtedly a novice. He suddenly opened his eyes in the supermarket:
"Oh right, Senior Xun, I heard someone mention the concept of a red house in the Slaughter Tower before. What does it mean?"
Xun Hui, who was supposedly sleeping, was actually just resting with his eyes closed. Hearing Wen Xishu’s question, he frowned:
"Who told you about the red house?"
In Xun Hui’s impression, the red house was a highly specific colloquial term, absent from any formal records, and only those who had seen it could describe it so casually.
But those who had seen the red house and survived were indeed very few. People usually didn’t use "red house" to describe them but directly called them—sovereign level.
Wen Xishu couldn’t be bothered to make up a lie:
"It’s a secret."
Xun Hui coldly replied:
"I can tell you, but you must stay away from the red house if you see one, no—you must absolutely avoid it. All buildings, like supermarkets or a certain floor of a residential building, or even an entire building, can be seen as one or more areas."
"The denser the black fog in an area, the stronger the monsters there, and the more bizarre the rules."
"But these are just black houses. If you see an eerie blood-red fog, be very cautious... because that is a red house, where sovereign-level monsters reside."
"These are the highest known evolution-level monsters at present. Their powers are terrifying. Even I wouldn’t dare to challenge them."
