[You have an interesting friend there.]
Tang Shaoyang frowned deeper, enlarging his vision through the Spirit Eyes. Not just Spirit Eyes, he also controlled his mana and spread it wide. In case it was something that could not be seen with Spirit Eyes. He could not find anyone or anything in at least two thousand meters of area.
He confirmed the voice was not from the tower. Then he thought of an 'interesting friend' the voice talked about. Of the five individuals with him, Avyn was the most special one, the Progenitor of the Dragon. He was sure the voice talked about Avyn.
[There's no need to look for me. I am not in the tower, and there's no need for you to worry about those lizards anymore. I have warned them not to disturb you as long as you are still in the tower.]
Tang Shaoyang finally understood the reason why the God Ranks of the Mistovel Family did not attack him. They had been warned by the voice. That might be half of the reason why they chose to negotiate instead of using force. Of course, the Divine Lightning might be another reason why they were in a rush, but still, the voice held more power than he thought.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFive God Ranks against Tang Shaoyang alone with them went all out. They could kill him quickly even before the next wave of the Divine Lightning if they wanted to. That meant the voice had more influence than the whole of the Mistovel Family, or maybe the voice had the background that the Mistovel Family did not dare to offend.
"What do you want? Why are you protecting me?" Tang Shaoyang asked. There must be a reason why the voice protected him from the Mistovel Family. He did not believe in the voice to do it out of goodwill. The voice must want something from him.
Rosalie, Avyn, and Zowen stared at Tang Shaoyang. They quickly realized that Tang Shaoyang talked with someone else, not one of them. They realized that no one was around, meaning Tang Shaoyang talked through telepathy. The atmosphere took a turn as the three raised their guard, in case something went south.
[I like to talk to people who are quick to understand. That's right, there's something I want from you. I have three more breeding grounds in this tower, and I want you to test my monsters.]
"But why me? There must be someone else more suitable than me, stronger than me." Tang Shaoyang felt there was more the voice wanted from him.
[There are indeed a few people stronger than you in the tower, but I do believe you will become the strongest individual in the tower when you reach the twentieth floor or maybe even the fifteenth floor. I need strong people to test my experimental monster, and you are the right person to do that.]
[If there is anything else I want from you. That might be offering you to join my faction, but I know you will refuse the offer. So I won't bother with it. And of course, I will reward you for your effort, risking your life to test my monster. Believe me, you will not regret taking my offer.]
Tang Shaoyang wanted to roll his eyes, not stupid enough to trust someone he could not see and not even try to give a name. There was no credibility or reason for him to believe the voice. However, there was nothing for him to lose by accepting the offer to clear out the breeding ground. In fact, cleaning out the breeding ground would benefit him even more.
"I will clear your breeding ground, but how am I supposed to know where your breeding grounds are? Will you guide me to your breeding ground?"
[Tch, you are quite smart to use me to lead you to the boss, but I will not help you with that. You have to earn your qualification to climb the tower, not just by killing the boss but also finding the boss. Then we will talk again when you reach the floor where my breeding ground is.]
There was no farewell as the voice disappeared after that despite his attempts to extend the conversation. He wanted more information from the voice, but the voice ignored him.
"Who were you talking to?" Avyn was the first one to break the silence after Tang Shaoyang stopped talking by himself.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTang Shaoyang snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the girls, "The owner of the breeding ground. Just like Lulu said, this lake is indeed a breeding ground, and Zowen was right that the Lesser Kraken is an experimental monster."
"The owner wants you to clear the other breeding grounds too?" Avyn continued.
"Yup. Apparently, the voice even warned the God Ranks of the Mistovel Family not to touch me. That's why they retreated instead of trying to kill me," Tang Shaoyang hid no information from the girls, telling them everything about his conversation with the voice.
Everything went smoothly for something Tang Shaoyang did not expect to come. He planned to leave everything behind, but the Mistovel Family came for him. He thought of leaving Lulu without caring about the negotiation, focusing on climbing up the tower. However, the Mistovel Family came for him.
"What happened to you guys?" He remembered that the girls were surrounded by the twenty people of the Mistovel Family.New chapters are published on novelenglish.net . ꜰire
Rosalie told him what happened. The Mistovel Family tried to capture them to use them against him. However, Avyn came in time to rescue, and there was no need to elaborate on what happened next. The twenty people were frozen and destroyed in pieces by the last Kankara'Xeo.
"Everything almost went according to your plan, just you don't get the result you want," Rosalie suddenly said, remembering Tang Shaoyang's plan.
The original plan was to lure Lulu's Brother and kill the guy for the level. Then he would lure the God Rank, using the Divine Lightning to kill them. Everything happened just like Tang Shaoyang planned and almost got the kill too. However, seven God Ranks were the big variable, surprising for seven of them to come down for one Tang Shaoyang. He might get the kill if it was just one or two God Ranks
"Yeah, almost. Just don't expect them to send seven God Ranks to save Lulu's Brother."
