"Arnold, the witch, and the last Shoe Woman Josie... they all have the qualifications."
"But unfortunately, Arnold’s 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 can’t even follow Arnold’s ritual properly, let alone harness Arnold’s power..."
"The Shoe Woman could only be sealed by the Godslayer Church, and no one could kill her. No one could absorb the ’Tower’, 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, it’s 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 won’t know what it’s 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 Josie’s 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 — Two minutes.]
As soon as this prompt appeared, the crowd erupted.
Some cheered, while others cried.
"We... won?"
"It’s not that we won! It’s Lord Wen Xishu who won!"
"Great, we survived!"
Most of the ones cheering were the able-bodied, while in Ling Fu’s 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 hearts’ 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... don’t stay too long on the second level of the bunker. If you don’t 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 wasn’t too afraid.
However, the same couldn’t 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 didn’t 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 didn’t quite understand the last sentence but still nodded.
Clearly, although his performance was far inferior to Wen Xishu’s, and could even be said to be non-existent, Wen Xishu still noticed Ling Fu’s potential.
In comparison, the other side’s Lang Haidu seemed unimpressive, but Lang Haidu didn’t mind. To him, he was just a merchant, and as long as he didn’t 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:
"It’s 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. You’ve already made a great contribution. But I don’t plan to stop."
"If you’re willing to continue fighting in the vortex... meet at the bunker safe house later."
With these words, the countdown ended.
Everyone’s 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 Xishu’s younger brother’s weapon. But at this moment, he didn’t care much about getting any rewards.
He was very eager to return to the bunker to see people’s reactions once the largest vortex had vanished...
