Pozz, What secrets are you hiding?

Deep in Wind - Thunder Valley.

Kai Blake, holding the [Force of Nature Staff], slightly raised his head and looked up at the gigantic creature in front of him.

The Minotaur General was surrounded by chains, exuding monstrous demonic flames. He wasn't a monster born on the first floor but was forcefully sent here by the Demon God through special means.

During the teleportation, the Minotaur General was also severely injured, and his level and strength had dropped significantly.

However, the [Forbidden Magic Tome] he held was well - protected. The Forbidden Magic Tome was a key item to restrain [Shurason] and the Minotaur General's greatest reliance for this mission!

As soon as he entered the first floor, he immediately fell into a deep sleep, trying his best to recover his strength to face the upcoming great battle.

Kai Blake's arrival awakened the Minotaur General.

"Weakling, you have disturbed me and will surely pay a bloody price!"

The Minotaur General let out a furious roar and struggled violently.

As he struggled, chains kept falling off, hitting the ground and splashing countless dust.

"Yo, you speak so formally."

Kai Blake stood at a safe distance. Some of the chains on the Minotaur General were transformed by the rules of the Tower of Eternity.

If Kai Blake were to attack now, most of the damage would be absorbed by the chains, which would instead help the Minotaur General break the seal.

While waiting for the chains to fall off, Kai Blake sized up the Minotaur General, his eyes scanning back and forth on the opponent.

"You insect, what do you take me for?!"

"Spicy hot pot, extra spicy, no wolfberries."

The Minotaur General:...

"Roar——"

He forcefully pushed his arms outwards, and the chains on his wrists snapped. The surging aura startled countless birds!

With the awakening of the Minotaur General, the entire Wind - Thunder Valley was shaking!

"I, the second vice - captain of the vanguard battalion of the Blood - Stained Legion under the Sixth Demon God, a powerful being beyond level 200, have even killed your human War - Kings!"

"What, are you so frightened by my words that you can't even speak?"

The Minotaur General's eyes were filled with mockery as he looked down at Kai Blake.

The first floor of the Tower of Eternity could only accommodate human players up to level 10, which posed no threat to him!

Under the gaze of the Minotaur General, Kai Blake suddenly spoke, no longer remaining silent.

"Originally, I planned to leave you with a complete corpse. A whole roasted ox seems good too.

Now, I'll take your head."

"Oh? Arrogant wretch!"

After hearing Kai Blake's words, the Minotaur General was first stunned, then let out a series of wild laughs, his voice extremely arrogant.

"If the human legion were here, I might be a bit wary. But you? Are you perhaps Shurason?"

When mentioning Shurason, a hint of fear flashed deep in the eyes of the always - arrogant Minotaur General.

He was well aware that the real purpose of his being sent here was to collect as much information about Shurason as possible and send it back!

Trying to stop Shurason by himself was a pipe dream!

The human race must not produce the fourth supreme powerhouse!

In the face of the Minotaur General's provocation, Kai Blake slowly said,

"Whether I'm Shurason or not doesn't matter."

Kai Blake raised his staff and pointed forward.

"All you need to know is that today is your death day."

"Annihilation!"

As they conversed, the chains on the Minotaur General kept falling off and were almost just for show.

Kai Blake had been chatting with the opponent just to buy time!

I'm waiting for the eternal rules to become ineffective. What are you waiting for?

To die?

"Lightning Arrow!"

With 30 layers of [Ready for Action] stacked, a hundred - billion - fold bonus, an extremely huge Lightning Arrow formed in the sky.

The Minotaur General:?!

You call this thing, which is even bigger than a mountain, a Lightning Arrow?!

Do you have some misunderstanding about what an arrow is!

In an instant, the extremely huge Lightning Arrow engulfed the body of the Minotaur General. The terrifying blow spread throughout his body in an instant, destroying everything it touched!

"No——"

The desperate roar didn't even have time to escape his throat.

Time around the Minotaur General seemed to slow down countless times, making him extremely conscious and in pain, able to feel himself being killed bit by bit!

"Impossible! This is impossible!"

"Why didn't the Forbidden Magic Tome take effect! How could I die at the hands of an unknown nobody! What on earth is this terrifying damage?!"

Too many questions gathered in the Minotaur General's chest, but he got no answers!

The look in his eyes as he looked at Kai Blake was filled with countless complex emotions.

Resentment, anger, confusion, bewilderment, fear.....

He widened his eyes as if he had thought of something.

Unfortunately, it was too late!

He was already dead!

In the last moment of his death, the Minotaur General thought of a possibility.

The only possibility that could explain everything happening in front of him!

"You... are... Shurason..."

The terrifying damage, which annihilated even the soul, prevented him from sending out any information.

Kai Blake kept his promise, controlled the damage of the Lightning Arrow, destroyed most of the Minotaur General's body, leaving only some of the torso and a head.

Boom——

After the terrifying Lightning Arrow killed the Minotaur General, it smashed into the bottom of the valley, blasting a large pit in the ground, and continuous explosions rang out.

Boom——

A wave of heat shot up into the sky, accompanied by the pungent smell of sulfur. Molten lava actually emerged from the ground!

"Ah, this... it doesn't count as damaging public property, does it?"

Kai Blake didn't expect that the Lightning Arrow hitting the ground would have such great power!

"This place is not safe to stay any longer."

Kai Blake rushed to the remains of the Minotaur General, first putting the huge head into his spatial backpack.

The Minotaur General was huge. Just the pupil was as tall as Kai Blake!

The entire head was placed flat on the ground, looking more imposing than a three - story building!

After putting away the head, Kai Blake groped in the wreckage and grabbed a blue - glowing disc in his hand.

"Forbidden Magic Tome!"

Kai Blake's eyes lit up. He didn't expect this thing to be preserved!

It didn't seem to be severely damaged. It was an SS - rank special item, so he might as well put it away first.

His eyes swept around the battlefield. The remaining things were not of much value. Lava kept emerging from the ground, and the commotion from the previous battle was so great that many people were probably attracted.

"Run quickly! Taking action is the best strategy!"

Having killed the Minotaur General, dealt ultra - high damage, and upgraded the Force of Nature, Kai Blake had basically achieved his goal for this trip.

There was no need to stay in this place of trouble.

A bird flew across the sky, trying to escape from Wind - Thunder Valley.

"Wind - Treading Slash!"

Kai Blake instantly appeared on the back of the bird, tapped his toes, and lightly flew outwards.

Bird: I may not be human, but you're really something.

...

From Kai Blake awakening the Minotaur General, to their conversation, and finally Kai Blake killing the Minotaur General.

The whole process seemed complicated, but in fact, it took less than a minute!

After Kai Blake left the battlefield, the lava surged upward, devouring the traces of the previous battle.

Another ten minutes passed.

Two embarrassed figures appeared at the edge of the battlefield, looking at the battlefield in shock.

Pozz covered his nose and mouth, his face extremely ugly. He coughed and asked,

"Stella Parker, did you lead us to a volcano crater?"

"Aren't we in Wind - Thunder Valley?"

The high temperature and pungent smell around made Stella Parker no better. Her delicate face was flushed, as if she was drunk.

She coughed twice, her eyes full of confusion.

"That's not right! We are in Wind - Thunder Valley!"

"Wait, let me locate our position."

Stella Parker tore open a scroll, and a coordinate appeared in front of the two of them.

Stella Parker's face instantly lost all color, turning deathly pale, like a freshly painted wall.

Pozz rubbed his eyes, couldn't see the coordinate clearly, and could only ask, "What's wrong?"

Stella Parker's voice trembled slightly as she said in disbelief,

"W - we're in Wind - Thunder Valley... at the very depths!"

"That is... where the War - King - level monster... descended!!"

"What?!"

"This is where the BOSS descended!"

Stella Parker's face was bloodless as she looked around in despair.

She didn't expect that the two of them had walked so deep and actually reached the deepest part of Wind - Thunder Valley!

"We're done for. We're going to die this time!"

Pozz muttered, looking around, trying to gather more information before he died.

If possible, he even wanted to take out his phone and take a group photo.

"What are you doing?"

Stella Parker noticed Pozz writing and drawing on the ground with a branch and asked curiously.

"I'm writing 'Pozz was here' as a souvenir!"

Pozz said this with a straight face.

"Hey, there's something!"

The branch poked into something hard. There seemed to be some secret hidden under the soft soil. Pozz used his hands to dig away the soil and dug out a black object.

"What is this?"

A lump of black charcoal was held in Pozz's palm.

Stella Parker was also attracted and analyzed,

"It looks like it was struck by lightning?"

"It's soft, not like wood... Is this a steak?!"

Pozz tore off the outermost layer of charred skin and found that inside was well - done beef. He exclaimed,

"It smells so good!"

The golden - brown roasted beef exuded an alluring aroma. Pozz's Adam's apple twitched as he swallowed hard.

Stella Parker furrowed her brows and said with a hint of disgust,

"You... you're not going to eat this, are you?"

"I chose chef as my life - occupation. Let me tell you, high - level monsters are treasures all over. Even just a piece of their meat, if eaten, might increase your attributes!"

As Pozz spoke, he started to act, taking out silver knives and forks and cutting off a small piece of meat.

Anyway, in the Tower of Eternity, even if he died from food poisoning, he would just return to the Eternal Core City.

Pozz made up his mind, closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and stuffed the meat into his mouth, chewing vigorously.

"So delicious!"

"Gulp——"

The beef melted in his mouth, well - done and full of beef flavor.

Pozz suddenly opened his eyes and shouted excitedly, "Damn it!"

Unfortunately, Pozz wasn't well - educated, and when something happened, all he could say was "damn it".

"What's wrong?"

"My strength attribute increased by 2 points!"

Pozz was extremely excited, looking at the beef with burning eyes. "This is at least the meat of a War - King - level monster to have such a terrifying effect!"

Hearing this, Stella Parker was first stunned, then quickly reacted and blurted out, "This is the BOSS's meat!!"

"Who cares? Let's look for more of this beef!"

Pozz started rummaging around. Before long, he found two more pieces of steak, about the size of regular ribs.

With the help of the summoned beast, Stella Parker also found six pieces of beef. Under the completely carbonized layer was juicy and delicious beef. The two of them had a rich harvest.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Pozz divided the beef into three parts and looked at Stella Parker,

"This is your share."

Stella Parker refused with a hint of disgust,

"I'll pass. You can give my share to Kai Blake."

"That's so embarrassing."

Pozz hesitantly put all the beef back into his backpack.

He didn't really want to eat something picked up from the ground either, but this beef was just too amazing!

After eating it, it could actually increase his attributes!

After packing up the spoils, Pozz finally thought of the most crucial question,

"The BOSS's meat is here. Where's the BOSS?"

"Dead!"

Stella Parker's face regained some color. After all, she was the granddaughter of a War - King. Growing up beside the War - King, she was exposed to a lot of secrets and had far - broader horizons than Pozz.

"Look, there are a lot of broken chains in the middle of the battlefield. I guess those were transformed by the eternal rules."

"Oh——"

Pozz nodded slightly, putting on an expression of "So that's how it is, I understand!"

In fact, he didn't understand.

"Look at the traces of being struck by lightning here. Obviously, it wasn't caused by casting a spell. To cause such terrifying power, at least a War - King - level powerhouse is needed!"

Stella Parker said confidently,

"The BOSS here was forcefully descended. The Demon God paid a huge price, but it was still suppressed by the eternal rules. The BOSS's descent failed and was killed by the eternal rules!"

Lightning punishment, in some cases, also symbolizes divine punishment.

The battle marks of a War - King - level were not something a newbie could create, not even Shurason!

Stella Parker's analysis was logical and persuasive.

"You make sense. What do we do now?"

Pozz spread his hands.

The BOSS was killed by the eternal rules, so Wind - Thunder Valley was safe, and they didn't find Kai Blake.

"Go back the way we came and then go level up."

Only then did Stella Parker relax. Since the BOSS was dead, it meant Kai Blake wouldn't be in danger!

"Don't tell anyone about the beef you got. Its value is hard to estimate. Just eat it yourself."

"Understood, understood."

Pozz kept nodding and followed Stella Parker back the way they came.

They didn't encounter any battles on their way here. The monsters in Wind - Thunder Valley, because of the BOSS's descent, fled frantically outwards, leaving their original territory.

When they walked out, the way was still unobstructed.

About fifteen minutes after they left, a group of people who looked like savages once again broke the silence in the depths of Wind - Thunder Valley.

The geniuses of Wind - Thunder Valley Group One finally arrived late.

Seeing the extremely messy scene in front of them, the crowd let out exclamations,

"What, what's going on here?!"

"Where did all this lava on the ground come from? Where's the BOSS?"

"Look, the chains of the eternal rules! Could it be that..."

"..."

Among these geniuses, there were descendants of War - Kings and War Gods, and their horizons were no worse than Stella Parker's.

Judging from the various signs on the battlefield, they quickly came to the same conclusion as Stella Parker.

"Damn it, the BOSS was actually killed by the eternal rules!"

"We're too late. What a pity!"

"Everyone, look around and see if there are any leftovers. Even a piece of meat is worth a fortune!"

The geniuses of Wind - Thunder Valley Group One, full of hope, ended up in vain.

Under the huge sense of loss, everyone was dejected as they searched the battlefield.

"What's this?"

Asher Miller lowered his head and actually found a line of crooked writing on the ground.

When he saw the content of the writing clearly, his face suddenly changed.

On the ground was written: [Pozz was here!]

"Why would Pozz be here? Wait... could it be a coincidence with the name?"

For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Asher Miller's mind, and his mood was extremely complex.

As a chosen one, he had gone through great efforts, traveled through mountains and rivers, and broken through numerous barriers to finally reach the depths of Wind - Thunder Valley.

Who would have thought that his ignored classmate had come to the end long ago and even had the leisure to write a souvenir!

In contrast, was he the clown?

His face turned red and then pale, and his heart was in turmoil, unable to calm down.

"Asher Miller, what did you find?"

The call of his companion brought Asher Miller back to reality.

"Nothing, nothing."

As he spoke, Asher Miller wiped the ground with his toe, completely erasing Pozz's words.

He returned to the group, with a smile on his face, showing no signs of anything wrong.

But in his heart, Asher Miller kept repeating a name.

"Pozz, Pozz..."

"What secrets are you hiding?"
