Three Towers Game

Almi acted very naturally:

"I didn’t see the duel... but the result was indeed that the lord died, although Wen Xishu seemed to have suffered serious injuries too."

"He fell into a coma, and at that time there were quite a few people protecting him."

Leslie was still incredulous but did not doubt Almi.

"Fortress stages... he’s already able to defeat the top hunters among us?"

Almi tentatively asked:

"Lord, is that person named Wen Xishu very powerful? Why can’t we take on his missions?"

Such an inquiry would instead seem less guilty. Leslie didn’t suspect and said:

"That’s an unknown."

"He sits in Wind City and occasionally leaves to conduct some secret actions. Everything about him is unknown."

"In the beginning when he appeared in Wind City, the intelligence we received was that he was very weak and needed many monsters from Wind City to protect him."

"We thought he wouldn’t grow into anything significant."

"But within just half a year, his power changed repeatedly, and the monsters in Wind City increased more and more, becoming a great force."

"Now, the future has changed again. If the past him could already kill someone like Qing, it’s hard to imagine how terrifying he must be in Wind City now."

"Actually, before we wanted to probe Wind City, but the water runs deep in Wind City. A few elite hunters went, and all of them... could not survive."

Almi feigned fear:

"That place, is it so scary?"

Leslie said:

"So not long ago, Hunter City sent Qing, the strongest Legendary Hunter to Wind City."

"But on the way, Qing was intercepted. Qing encountered a woman carrying a suitcase. It’s hard to imagine that on the outskirts of Wind City, encountering a random person... could actually repel Qing."

"You must know, Qing’s most terrifying aspect is the Power of Destruction within him. Although such power doesn’t have world-destroying momentum, once it’s infused into an opponent’s body, the opponent can only wait for death."

"But according to Qing’s description, he was the one who was defeated."

Almi felt ecstatic inside, the Sect Hierarch’s territory was full of talents, but he became even more scared:

"Outside the city is already so terrifying, the inside of Wind City..."

Leslie nodded, but soon feigned a relaxed smile:

"Don’t be afraid, there’s nothing to be afraid of; isn’t there the mission of crossing the bunker?"

"No matter how strong they are, they have a fragile past."

"Hunter City is the strongest, understand? Serve Hunter City faithfully, complete the missions well. We will gradually increase the rewards for the series of missions crossing the bunker."

"As it stands, Wen Xishu in Wind City has already gained an extremely frightening power, and we must avoid his edge. His growth is terrifying, but this is not a bad thing. He has already attracted a lot of attention ahead of time."

"Wind City has to be dealt with by the Commerce Association personally."

Leslie then smiled again:

"Alright, Almi, isn’t it? Are you sure you don’t want to indulge a bit? I’ll pay for it."

Almi ultimately agreed, getting cozy with a few Hunter City girls. Because in Hunter City, refusing this kind of temptation earnestly would seem very odd.

It’s for the bunker, a necessary self-sacrifice.

Leslie was very satisfied. In his view, people with desires are loyal soldiers of Hunter City.

This is different from those Xishu Divine Teaching lunatics in Wind City. Those people are simply cultists, chanting the Sect Hierarch, shouting glory, then charging fearlessly.

However, right now, Leslie has other matters to worry about.

Qing failed.

Hunter City lost a Legendary Hunter, and Hunter City paid a heavy price. After all, such a thing won’t happen a second time.

That Lord Capricorn, although helped the Commerce Association, essentially, everyone was gathering what they needed.

Capricorn doesn’t need to pay for Qing’s death at all.

Qing’s defeat can only mean that Hunter City people were ill-prepared.

This battle was supposed to be a history-changing battle, but now... nothing has changed.

...

...

Longxia, north of Linling.

This is the border of Longxia, adjoining another major country.

But even here, one can find the entrance to the underground fortress, able to board that Chosen Train full of talents to enter inside the underground fortress.

Capricorn was actually very reluctant to appear here.

Even though this is not a dangerous place.

To the north of Longxia, there’s a place that all forces, whether gods or constellations, absolutely do not wish to approach.

Longxia, underground fortress.

Because inside there is a "madman" containing countless people’s souls.

Madness aside, what is most terrifying is that he possesses the power to destroy the world.

But Capricorn still came.

Because he was suspicious—whether Hunter City fundamentally had no intelligence on Jin Zhenyuan, and deliberately gave him a place he didn’t dare go.

He fears this place but has to come here because he hates being deceived.

If Hunter City deceived him, he wouldn’t mind transferring Leon to Hunter City to stay for a couple of days.

But this time, Hunter City really didn’t deceive Capricorn.

Not long after entering the tunnel, Capricorn sensed an aura.

That was the aura of a top-tier powerhouse.

Very powerful, but not beyond the constellations.

The owner of that aura also seemed to have sensed Capricorn’s presence and wanted to escape from Capricorn.

In the narrow tunnel, the two briefly chased after each other.

But soon, Capricorn used a technique akin to cheating, almost teleporting, arriving in front of the target.

In the pitch-black tunnel—

Suddenly there was light.

That was light brought by several vortexes, the other end of the vortex being the sky.
