Chapter 520: Chapter 515: Goodbye, Black and White
The abnormality of the platform made Nicholas vigilant again. He immediately activated his field to protect Bai Qi and intended to flee with him, unlocking the Jade Imprint.
As a competent bodyguard, one cannot commit the same mistake twice.
“Wait, why does this place look familiar?”
At this moment, Bai Qi suddenly stopped Nicholas’s actions.
Underneath the platform, two black and white towers soared. The towers’ bodies were continuously flashing with complex runes, appearing incredibly mysterious.
“The Black and White Twin Towers?!”
Bai Qi was inspecting the familiar yet somewhat strange twin towers in front of him.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Looking at the upper half of the tower structure, it was indeed the Black and White Twin Towers. However, compared to what Bai Qi saw in the Thousand Cliff Stone Forest, the current Black and White Twin Towers were obviously a size larger, and there were a few changes discovered in the Rune Structure on the towers’ bodies.
But what Bai Qi could be sure of was that these were definitely things left behind by the Law Emperor.
“The Secret Realm Tower left behind by the Law Emperor, how did it get to the central part of the tribe? Could it be that the Law Emperor was so bold back then, he even reached this place?”
“Also, hiding a secret realm within a secret realm, is this how haphazardly combined secret realms are?”
Bai Qi spat, letting Nicholas slowly descend and land on the platform that was in complete unity with the Twin Towers below. He summoned all his pet beasts, enclosing them tightly around himself.
Although this could be basically confirmed as the relics of the Law Emperor, life was important, so it was better to be safe.
Under the escort of Nicholas and the Six Pets, Bai Qi went into the middle of the Black and White Twin Towers. Looking at the familiar lock between the Twin Towers, he suddenly raised his head and said, “Black and White, an old friend has arrived!”
A silence descended.
“Alright, it seems to be another secret realm tower of the same design.”
Bai Qi waited for a long time, looking at the still motionless Twin Towers, he sighed helplessly, and could only quietly contemplate the lock in front of him.
According to previous experience, the Twin Towers must have a corresponding key to open them. However, it was unlikely for him to go find the key now, he could only try to forcibly crack it.
At least that was what Luo Xiang and his team had done.
“What are you doing?”
“Nonsense, of course I’m thinking about how to crack the entrance.”
Bai Qi responded indifferently but suddenly noticed that the voice seemed a bit unfamiliar. Looking to the side, a small mech was leaning to one side, looking at him curiously.
“Black and White?! Is that really you?”
Black and White turned his head, questioning in confusion, “Weren’t you the one who just called me? Why are you so surprised?”
Bai Qi: “…In that case, could you give me a heads up when you come out next time? Otherwise, I’m afraid you might scare me to death.”
“Alright.”
Black and White nodded, looked behind Bai Qi, and when he saw the Sword of Death behind Alpha, he instinctively wanted to run back.
“Don’t run! Alpha is with us!”
Seeing this, Bai Qi quickly grabbed Black and White, saying, “I have many things to ask you!”
“Then ask quickly.”
Hearing Bai Qi’s words, Black and White reluctantly stopped, but looking at his anxious and unsettled appearance, it was clear that he was still a bit restless.
“Weren’t you just at the Thousand Cliff Stone Forest, how did you fly into the tribe?”
Bai Qi curiously looked at the magical space around him, saying, “In addition, the Black and White Twin Towers look a bit different from before.”
“This place has always been a part of the Twin Towers, what you saw earlier was only the tip of the tower.”
Black and White shook his head, saying: “As long as someone cracked the secret realm of the tip of the tower, the Twin Towers will automatically connect to the next section, which is here.”
“As for why it is in the tribe, of course it is to recharge the Twin Towers.”
Black and White looked at Bai Qi curiously, saying, “Didn’t you research the Dual Sky Mech that I gave you before?”
“Dual Sky Mech?”
Bai Qi was startled at these words but then suddenly thought of something, saying, “Could it be that the Twin Towers are absorbing the souls of ferocious beasts to recharge themselves?”
“That’s right.”
Black and White nodded, then suddenly became disappointed, saying, “But it seems that the tower body left here by the Law Emperor has been damaged by the Ferocious Beasts, missing the most crucial part. I can only rely on some weak Ferocious Beasts that accidentally entered here to maintain the energy supply.”
“So that’s how it is…”
Bai Qi suddenly realized. The meteor shower from the sky, the life-devouring crater, all were caused by Black and White.
“Wait, so is there a method here to extract the souls of Ferocious Beasts and fill them into Rune Mechs?”
Bai Qi grabbed Black and White, his face filled with excitement.
The structure of the Dual Sky Mech had already been analyzed by the association, but without the power supply technology, it was still inferior to the biological mechanics, so it was temporarily shelved.
However, if he could bring this technology back, perhaps the association could reproduce the Dual Sky Mech, no, even more advanced than the Dual Sky Mech.
“The method to extract the souls of ferocious beasts?”
Black and White helplessly shrugged his shoulders, saying, “Although I am the Law Emperor’s assistant and housekeeper, it doesn’t mean I know everything.”
“Then how do you absorb the souls of ferocious beasts?”
Bai Qi asked skeptically.
“I am only responsible for maintaining and modifying mechs. The ability to absorb souls was left on the Twin Towers by that annoying old man, Law Emperor.”
Black and White shook his head, saying, “Moreover, without the core, the absorption efficiency is extremely low. I can’t even initiate the trials now.”
Hearing Black and White’s words, Bai Qi couldn’t help but feel a hint of regret.
If even Black and White didn’t know, it was likely that no one in this world could master this technology.
“By the way, you were just talking about the core. What exactly happened?”
Black and White tilted his head to think, then said, “When I just came back here, the core was already gone. But according to the tower’s records, it seems like a small wolf accidentally entered here and took the core away.”
“A small wolf? And it took the core?”
Bai Qi’s eyebrows raised, and he suddenly thought of something.
“The small wolf you mentioned, could it be a Ghost Wolf?!”
“Um… seems like it is, but since there’s not enough energy, the records I can access aren’t clear, so I’m not sure.”
Black and White paused, then said, “Do you know where the core is?”
“If I’m not mistaken, I think I know.”
Bai Qi sighed. This creature was once affiliated with the Fire Leopard Tribe. But then, it suddenly rose to legendary status and established its own tribe by taking advantage of the destruction of the Fire Leopard Tribe. It even had natural offspring, despite its ghostly nature.
This was obviously a heroic template. It made sense that they would gain some opportunities before the story began.
“Then, hurry up and snatch it back for me. As long as you can get the core, I’ll give you the highest reward of this Secret Realm directly!”
“That is the compilation of runes and insights on mecha made by that old geezer in his later years.”
Hearing Bai Qi’s words, Black and White immediately became excited and readily made this promise.
“I’d love to…”
Bai Qi responded with a wry smile. That Ghost Wolf was a legendary creature, after all. His small stature wouldn’t stand a chance.
Even though Nicholas was there, it wouldn’t be a problem to single-handedly defeat a legendary Ghost Wolf. But the key point was, now it was a tribe chief, there was no need to stand up to him alone!
However, what Black and White offered was indeed attractive, and if he missed this chance, who knew if there would be another one later.
“Well, Black and White, why don’t I first catch a few ferocious beasts to recharge the Twin Towers, so I can complete the Secret Realm Tower challenge.”
Bai Qi’s eyes twinkled, saying, “If I can get the rewards and increase my strength first, I might stand a chance against that Ghost Wolf.”
“No, the highest reward from that old geezer was originally meant to be given after the Twin Towers had fully combined. If it hadn’t been for the loss of the core, and my lack of motivation to find the bottom of the last tower, I wouldn’t have even thought to use it.”
Black and White kept shaking his head, unabashedly rejecting Bai Qi’s proposal.
“The bottom of the tower? That Law Emperor set this up way too exaggerately.”
A twitch developed in the corner of Bai Qi’s eye. First, there was the Water and Fire Twin Towers that housed the key, then the tip of the tower, now the body of the tower, and somewhere unknown contained the bottom of the tower.
Ancient people were indeed interesting.
“Beast Master, why don’t we give it a try?”
Just when Bai Qi was indecisive, Jerry suddenly spoke up.
“Give it a try?”
Bai Qi looked at Jerry with a hint of surprise. As the third consciousness of the husky, Jerry was the epitome of steadiness. Yet, this time, against character, he proposed such an adventurous idea.
Whoo, whoo!
(Don’t wimp out, humans! We got this!)
Beta seemed to see an opportunity to stir things up and was passionately egging them on from the side, to Bai Qi’s speechless resignation.
“Fine, I’ll leave it to you.”
Bai Qi’s mouth twitched a bit.
Whoo, whoo…
(I’m just trying to lighten the mood…)
Beta proceeded to lower his head at Bai Qi’s words. Yet, Bai Qi started to seriously think things over.
“Gang-fighting is definitely out of the question. But if we can lure that Ghost Wolf away, we might have a chance.”
Bai Qi stroked his chin, contemplating how to lure the Ghost Wolf away.
Though it was a bit risky, if he could take out the Ghost Wolf, the balance of power among the surrounding tribes would definitely be broken. By then, in the chaos of the various tribes warring against one another, he might be able to muddy the waters and escape safely.
“If we’re talking about a duel, I’m definitely undefeated!”
Hearing Bai Qi’s words, Nicholas immediately flexed his sturdy arm, his face full of confidence.
It was one thing not being able to defeat Big Sister, Second Sister, and Third Sister, but just a common legendary ferocious beast? That should be a piece of cake.
“Yeah, I believe that completely.”
Bai Qi nodded. Though he hadn’t seen Nicholas fight a legendary ferocious beast, he knew about the Jiuyou Darkbird and Blood Scythe Wraith’s combat abilities.
Since Nicholas could defeat the Blood Scythe Wraith among three legendary pet beasts and wound the Jiuyou Darkbird, his combat strength was unquestionable.
So, the current problem was how to lure the Ghost Wolf out.
Furthermore, the chosen area must absolutely not attract the attention of other legendary ferocious beasts.
After awhile, Bai Qi suddenly turned to look at Black and White, and said, “Black and White, could you do me a favor? Whether we can retrieve the core might depend on your actions.”
