Every action he made seed to skip the starting and ending motions, so fast it was astonishing.
Zheng Zai even noticed that Younger Brother Wen had started to attempt so advanced maneuvers.
He actually completed a double jump in the air!
He couldn’t help but think... If this thing could be used in the Slaughter Tower, combined with the attribute panel of the Slaughter Tower, and let Younger Brother Wen control himself, how perverse would that be?
But this was just a thought; things from the Deceit Tower couldn’t be taken into the Slaughter Tower.
At the fourth outbreak of blood energy, both Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai thought the ga was over.
But at this mont, a prompt appeared.
[You received an excellent evaluation in the item usage stage. Do you want to accept the hidden challenge for this level?]
Wang Ying and Aspasia outside the television also saw this prompt.
They had never thought that there might be a hidden challenge. But Wang Ying vaguely guessed the trigger chanism.
It was likely determined by the proficiency of item usage and the degree of injury when facing monsters.
In so sense, Wen Xishu cleared the stage without injuries.
These two factors were actually combined. Without high proficiency in item usage, it was impossible to clear without injuries.
So the hidden challenge appeared.
Wang Ying also guessed the content of the hidden challenge.
The skull-faced electric guitar at the center of the stage.
That was an elite monster.
Even with the strange, handheld props that boosted Zheng Zai’s strength significantly...
It was still a narrow escape when facing a rare monster, with no chance of survival against an elite monster.
Wang Ying shouted:
"Refuse! You two don’t know how terrifying elite monsters are! That’s not sothing we can deal with in the Deceit Tower! Refuse quickly!"
Aspasia was startled but quickly realized that if Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai died now, it would indeed be very disadvantageous for them. She also started shouting.
But it was useless, Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai in the television world couldn’t hear them.
Wang Ying’s shouting quickly stopped, as Wen Xishu made his choice.
[You have accepted the hidden mission challenge, now please proceed to the center of the stage.]
Wang Ying thought it was over.
Aspasia also felt it was over. Now she couldn’t rely on this freak duo to win effortlessly.
Zheng Zai, on the contrary, wasn’t that scared. He felt that "trusting Younger Brother Wen, he has a deeper aning in doing things" was growing with value.
So even though he knew that the monster at the center of the stage couldn’t be defeated, he still felt it was worth a challenge.
Nothing else, just having almost blind faith in Younger Brother Wen.
Wen Xishu was no longer the newbie who had just crossed over.
He certainly knew how terrifying elite monsters were; he had learned about their existence, second only to leaders like Jack and Jennifer, at the library.
With Wen Xishu’s current level, he might not even handle rare monsters, let alone elite monsters with sequence power.
But he was not flustered either.
"In Lv1 and Lv2 stages, the ones besieging Wang Ying and Tong Ming, besides the most basic normal monsters of the stage, there were also a few higher-tier normal monsters."
"Wang Ying nearly encountered mid-tier normal monsters in the first stage, which indicates that these monsters would continue to attack. It’s just that the difficulty of the stage placed them later..."
"If the stage is not completed within the ti limit, the stage will beco more difficult."
"But what Old Zheng and I are experiencing in Lv3 is different. Although the guy at the center of the stage is controlling monsters with lodies, he didn’t show any anger when these normal monsters died."
"He completely has the ability to kill and Old Zheng directly, there’s no need to arrange underlings to charge..."
"It feels like he just wants to showcase his music. So this hidden quest is likely a test of my control over the joystick rather than a battle based on attributes!"
"Moreover, the hidden quest might be related to an invitation. If I can enter the Desire Tower, I can find out what the ultimate item is from the source."
After multiple considerations, Wen Xishu decided to take a gamble. Besides, in the Deceit Tower, any decision itself was a gamble.
Fortunately this ti, Zheng Zai was also quite calm.
The two of them reached the center of the stage.
As they walked, all the normal monsters actually made way for them.
Wang Ying and Aspasia were again stunned by this sight, Wen Xishu indeed gave them a lot of shocks.
"These monsters, they’re not attacking them?"
"It’s creepy, did he foresee all this?"
Wang Ying recalled that not long ago, Wen Xishu had actually saved his life. At that ti, if Wen Xishu hadn’t reminded him to use the identified item to kill the enemy, he might have realized it a bit later...
Every second counted at that mont, if it were any later, those mid-tier normal monsters in the distance would have arrived.
Looking back now, Wen Xishu seed to have progressed very smoothly all the way.
Wang Ying couldn’t help but wonder, did this kid have so item? An item that could decode the rules?
Otherwise, the journey was too smooth, wasn’t it?
...
Stage center.
When both Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai reached the stage, the skull face actually started speaking:
"My music needs a choreography. If you want to survive, you must dance in a way that ets my expectations within my music notes."
"Otherwise, I will kill you."
The electric guitar emitted a note, Wen Xishu felt sothing like a very sharp air blade flying past his ear.
"Human, do you understand?"
"Understood." Wen Xishu’s reply was calm and composed.
Based on Wen Xishu’s understanding of the current apocalypse, most elite monsters in this world existed within the Slaughter Tower.
