31. Elevator / Showdown (seeking further reading)
Just as the Tiger King promised, she sent a far larger number of confidantes than usual to leave the territory that night, spreading the news of the test throughout the six floors. At the same time, regardless of what other rulers thought, she directly forcefully set the date.
It was scheduled for the next day.
On the afternoon of the second day, Tiger King led a dozen warriors and Ma En to their destination. They walked around the corridors on the third floor and stopped several times to determine the direction.
"Some corridors look almost the same, so we left special marks on them." King Tiger looked at Ma En and Ning Changkong behind him and explained to them the reason for stopping, "Except for the ruler
In addition, only special messengers can understand part of the journey, and they must travel in groups of three across floors."
But Ma En and Ning Changkong didn't see any of the marks she mentioned in the corridor. Obviously, this wasn't something that could be found with just a quick glance.
"Can other rulers arrive in such a short time?" Ning Changkong asked curiously.
Tiger King said casually:
"Of course, although this kind of thing will cost me a lot and may also make the rulers of other floors dissatisfied, but since I made the request firmly, they will definitely arrive on time.
"After all, your goal is to leave here safely, so the sooner the better. Since this is a transaction, I must be responsible for the remuneration I provide."
After walking around the corner, an "elevator door" about seven meters high appeared on the left side of the corridor.
"We are here." Tiger King said, "Let's go."
An accompanying soldier walked to the side of the elevator and pressed the only button on the wall.
The heavy metal door quietly opened slowly to both sides.
The scene inside the door is not a narrow elevator room, but a spacious and giant square square, and on each of the four walls, there are two "elevator doors" separated by a certain distance.
It seems that all eight floors have access to this square.
When they arrived, the other rulers and their followers had all gathered in the center, but there was still a thin figure standing not far from the crowd.
After walking a few steps, Ma En felt that the girl behind him was walking a little hastily.
Ning Changkong walked to his side and whispered as usual:
"She's standing right behind the fat man."
Ma En looked at several rulers.
The fourth-level ruler general is a majestic man with a body like steel, while the leader of the ascetics in robes is silent surrounded by his colleagues, and the leader of the wanderers has a body as strong as an orangutan.
The last one is the cannibal king standing like a mountain of meat. Behind him stands a young woman who looks very strange to Ma En. Her limbs look like a combination of some kind of strong beast and bird, with strong
Muscles and raptor-like claws.
Li Fen also saw Ma En.
What's going on? Is he the guy who wants to be tested?
"He is the enemy I mentioned." She whispered to her cannibal king, "The young man following the Tiger King, but why doesn't he show any signs of becoming a beast?"
"It's true that we are enemies." The cannibal king smiled, "Look at his appearance, he may have won the heart of the Tiger King, but he may not have realized how much this guy loves the new and hates the old. As for his situation..."
He paused and continued:
"Perhaps she is lucky, and she still holds the illusion of wanting to leave here. Judging from the way Tiger King treats his concubines, she may want him to give up.
"But it just so happens that you can take his life in the duel.
"Remember what I taught you."
Li Fen nodded heavily. Ma En still wanted to leave here. It was simply whimsical, but this also gave her a chance for revenge...
If it hadn't been for him, I wouldn't have ended up like this.
The general took the lead and said dissatisfiedly to the Tiger King:
"You called us over, but you were the last one to arrive?"
She yawned casually:
"I want to take a nap, and who asked you to come so early."
He snorted coldly:
"Who is the challenger?"
Marne took a step forward.
The general looked him up and down a few times, and then said in a cold tone:
"Hopefully our wait was worth it."
At this moment, the thin figure wandering outside the crowd also walked over.
The envoy from the second floor glanced at Ma En, and then showed some doubts on his face:
"Do you want to leave here?"
Ma En asked curiously:
"Isn't this a strange idea?"
He didn't expect Ma En to ask him this question.
After the astonishment subsided, the envoy showed a look of pity when facing Ma En:
"Of course, after I became a witness to the test, there were several newcomers who felt they were very strong and thought they could leave here, but they often lost this opportunity when they accepted the test.
"And even if someone is lucky enough to successfully reach the second floor...
"Well, let's put it this way, five years ago there was a fool who didn't take our well-intentioned advice into consideration, and then he never had the chance to beg for mercy."
"I hope you don't end up like him,"
The envoy was too lazy to say anything more to Ma Endo.
This arrogant young man will almost certainly develop lycanthropic symptoms in the next battle, and by then he will realize the cruelty of reality.
"If you don't have any other messy questions." Tiger King said impatiently, "Can we start the test?"
silence.
The general said:
"We originally wanted to give this challenger more time to prepare, but if you are in such a hurry, then you can start at any time. Is there any warrior who wants to duel with him?"
Marne walked to the center.
Li Fen also walked out from behind the Man-Eating King and came in front of him under the watchful eyes of the whole audience. Everyone else retreated and dispersed in all directions, leaving enough space for these two strangers.
The King of Wanderers walked up to the Cannibal King and asked:
"Why did you recruit new warriors?"
The cannibal king said:
"Is it possible to let my confidants take risks?
"This may be a beautiful revenge, or it may be a tragic defeat for a weakling, but no matter the outcome, you and I know that there will be no change in the outcome.
"Let's watch these guys who have no control over their own destiny fight each other."
Li Fen, who was standing in front of Ma En, twisted his neck and flexibly turned the blue fingers with claws at the end:
"Look at yourself, did you think you could escape from the hospital alone not long ago? You personally killed the chance of leaving in the cradle and looked at my face..."
But before she changed her appearance, Ma En spoke calmly:
"Li Fen, I'm looking for you, it seems...
