"The Tower of Trial disappeared just now. You two were transported out one after the other, right? Only the two of you entered the Tower of Trial, correct?"
The Fire Elf looked coldly at Rosen, who was trapped in the Fire Prison.
The left hand clenched around the Monk’s neck tightened again, causing the Monk to let out an even more painful groan.
The Monk wasn’t new here, but in front of the Fire Elf, he was utterly powerless.
Clearly, this Fire Elf should be a Senior Lord.
There’s a Fire Elf ranked tenth on the leaderboard who is a Steward of the Heaven and Earth Society.
That must be the one in front of us!
"I appear to be a rookie Lord, penniless and with nothing to gain. But the Monk you have looks good, he’s an Experienced Lord, rolling in wealth. If you want to squeeze something out, go for him."
Rosen touched the Luck Dice in his pocket, a sly smile appearing on his face.
The Fire Elf glanced at the Monk in his hand and released him. The Monk fell to the ground, rubbing his neck and coughing.
"Cough cough... Boss, don’t listen to his nonsense. He’s Tang Xuanze, the one on the leaderboard, cough, with much more to gain than me. I’m just a monk living a simple life, what could I possibly have?"
The Monk argued fearfully, putting the blame on Rosen.
"Tang Xuanze?" The Fire Elf scrutinized Rosen and then looked at the Monk, stamping on his face with his foot: "Do you think I’m blind?"
Never eaten pork, but haven’t you seen pigs run?
Tang Xuanze is a hero at the forefront of the leaderboard, considered his predecessor. This Monk clearly is just bluffing, as if he hasn’t seen the world.
"Illusion! Tang Xuanze used an illusion, try hitting him, test his strength!"
The Monk panicked, feeling his face being crushed under the shoe sole, bones creaking.
The Fire Elf looked at Rosen again, pondering whether the Monk’s words could be true.
Soon enough, he realized there was no need for doubt.
If he really were Tang Xuanze, gone berserk, would I dare to fight him?
If the Monk were lying and I honestly struck him, proven he’s not Tang Xuanze, it’d be a joke?
Thinking of this, the Fire Elf crushed the Monk’s face with his sole again.
The bald head was already bruised, looking pitiful.
If he weren’t in Fa Hai’s heroic form, his head might have been crushed.
"Now I’ll ask you, answer truthfully. Lie, and you’ll meet King Yan!"
"Were you both in the forest attacking the Tree Demon Granny last night?"
"Tree Demon Granny? No, I was with my girlfriend last night. She can testify!"
The Monk explained hurriedly.
"Girlfriend? A monk has a girlfriend, but I’m still single!"
The Fire Elf said with twitching eyelids.
Again crushing the Monk’s face under his sole, the Monk quickly began to plead.
Seeing this, Rosen touched the Luck Dice in his pocket, contemplating again.
Unexpectedly, the Fire Elf asked about the Tree Demon Granny.
No doubt, it’s for the Water Wood Essence.
This is the only material on him.
It can be used to make Token scrolls.
Its value is beyond words.
Its value even surpasses the Hero Resurrection Scroll.
Don’t even think about it!
"I don’t know what you’re talking about; anyway, my answer is the same, I haven’t seen any Tree Demon Granny."
"Not honest, are you? I got the news; you two got there first!"
The Fire Elf said viciously, pressing harder with the shoe sole on the Monk’s face.
He said to the Monk: "You don’t want to be disfigured, right? You wouldn’t want your girlfriend to abandon you, so confess truthfully!"
Lord’s items cannot be looted unless stored, otherwise it’d be much easier.
The Fire Elf looked at Rosen and said coldly: "You wouldn’t want to see your ally die in front of you, right?"
Apparently, this Fire Elf misunderstood something.
Rosen touched the Luck Dice in his pocket, considering.
Then said: "No, release him, and I’ll tell you everything."
The Fire Elf, hearing this, sneered and used even more force with the shoe sole, crushing the Monk’s face.
At the bruised area, blood began to flow.
He’s almost questioning life.
Why is it always him getting hurt?
Seeing this, Rosen’s face showed a hint of sympathy.
"Boss, please release my ally. He’s too pitiful, really unlucky."
Speaking, Rosen touched the Luck Dice in his pocket.
"Ah ah ah! Stop talking, don’t say a word, I beg you!"
The Monk, feeling his bones being crushed again, shouted in pain.
Every time Rosen answers the Fire Elf, he’s ruthlessly tormented once.
It’s simply a nightmare!
The Fire Elf said harshly.
"Okay, I’ll speak, release your foot, stop being so cruel, you frightened me, I suddenly forgot." Rosen scratched the back of his head.
The pain was almost unconscious.
Seeing the Monk already fainted, the Fire Elf kicked him aside.
"Seems you don’t care about your ally’s fate at all. In that case, I’ll directly punish you!"
Approaching Rosen, the Fire Elf reached out to grab Rosen.
Do you think I can’t dodge?
As soon as his hand pinched Rosen’s neck, he found it slippery; Rosen successfully dodged.
Not only that, thorn illusion appeared around Rosen, which he found troublesome!
Darn, if he knew it was so troublesome, he would’ve brought hand lotion today.
The Fire Elf was shocked, yet saw Rosen already evaded him and appeared by the Monk.
Actually supporting the Monk right in front of him.
So did this guy care about his ally after all?
The Fire Elf pouted; he was fooled earlier.
In truth, Rosen genuinely cared about his ally.
He touched the Luck Dice in his pocket.
With an ally around, he’s absolutely safe.
Besides, he needed his ally for an experiment.
This experiment is crucial to him.
"Boss, I’ll leave first, goodbye!"
After speaking, Rosen transformed into an Earth Crawler, disappearing with the Monk in an instant.
Only leaving a mound of earth on the ground.
"Escaping underground? You’re underestimating me!"
A hot blast of flame shot out!
A fiery pillar erupted from the ground, causing the entire tunnel to collapse.
Unexpectedly, there was no sign of the two beneath the ground.
Theoretically, they shouldn’t have escaped far in such a short time.
"Can burrowing be this fast? What kind of hero is he?"
The Fire Elf squinted; this was his blind spot.
Rosen had brought the Monk to the first level of the Tower of Trial.
In fact, the burrowing earlier was just an illusion.
He couldn’t reasonably explain disappearing in front of the Fire Elf, thus he used burrowing as a cover.
The secrets to be protected must remain guarded.
Or he’d be known by foreign forces, feared to be on an assassination list, hunted relentlessly.
Even with his hero transformation ability, able to stand undefeated, he still had to worry about unexpected events.
After all, it’s not fear of thieves stealing, but thieves being covetous.
And after Rosen entered the first level of the Tower of Trial, a five-minute countdown started again.
The Monk also woke up here.
The dazed elderly man looked around at familiar surroundings.
"So was it a dream earlier? We’re only now entering the Tower of Trial?"
He expressed great doubt.
"No need to doubt, you weren’t dreaming, I brought you in." Rosen’s face bore a cruel smile.
"We’re going to conduct an experiment."
