Chapter 2004: Chapter 1984:

After a long period of silence, Long Tu had a sudden idea, and came up with a good plan.

That is... since the demon beasts on the eighth floor all have spiritual wisdom, why not have them come over to kill some time? After all, there’s nothing else to do, and Hu Batian seems quite bored anyway.

Hu Batian was quite surprised to hear that Long Tu wanted to call upon the other demon beasts of the eighth floor. For a moment, he scrutinized Long Tu, wondering if he was trying to keep them in check or intended to make an example out of them.

However, within the Demon Suppression Tower, they were unable to take action against Long Tu, as they would be countered by the tower itself...

"...So, do you understand? It’s fifty-four cards, and you play like this..." Long Tu exerted a great deal of effort to explain the game of poker to the group of big creatures.

"So, each person only gets a few cards. It’s not enough to play! This thing is too small..." Hu Batian grumbled as he pinched the card with his claws.

"Aren’t you all capable of shape-shifting? Just shape-shift, problem solved." Long Tu shrugged.

The next moment, all the demon beasts except Hu Batian transformed into humans effortlessly, but Hu Batian looked around awkwardly, feeling out of place among the Fox Capital.

Vastness of Time demon beasts are not comparable to ordinary demon beasts. This makes not only cultivation more challenging, but even shape-shifting isn’t something that can be done just because one’s cultivation level is high; it requires the existence of Transformation Grass.

But this grass, let alone whether it exists now, is extremely rare and precious even in the Vastness of Time world.

Even if ordinary beasts without cultivation consumed it, they would be able to shape-shift and gain an additional twenty years of cultivation. This is something that ordinary things cannot compare to.

The most important thing is that this Transformation Grass closely resembles a very common weed...

Hu Batian, feeling plaintive, shrunk himself a bit and grabbed the cards: "Come, come, let’s play!"

Divided into three groups, they played joyfully, keeping them from being idle and only able to sleep.

Observing this, Hu Batian, who initially had a lack of enthusiasm, gradually grew very interested...

As they enjoyed playing, they weren’t playing without wagers; among the demon beasts, they wagered territories. As for Long Tu’s side, it was to see what he could put up.

Regardless of whether it was beef jerky or chocolate, everything Long Tu presented was enticing. But the crucial problem was... Long Tu had never lost...

Territories belonging to Long Tu would be restored to their original owners, allowing them to continue the battle, and ensuring everyone’s happiness during this time.

However, as time passed and Long Tu noticed that Luo Qianqian and her friends’ time was nearly up, he promptly closed the entrance to the Demon Suppression Tower, and followed Luo Qianqian and her friends, driving everyone out, naturally following them closely.

Even though he left, all the food was left behind and was swiftly divided among the eighth floor demon beasts with joy.

The demon beasts of the eighth floor were in competitive relationships, but after spending time together, they found themselves to be quite compatible and became good friends. So, even without Long Tu, they continued entertaining themselves joyfully, with no thoughts of returning to their own homes.

"Wow, finally we’re out. There’s even a little rabbit peeing on my clothes."

"Strange, why are there so many people?"

"Where are we now?"

...

Newly emerged members discussed in earnest, while Long Tu and his group gathered and looked at each other, ensuring everything was fine before sharing a smile.

Mo glanced around, observing carefully before speaking softly: "It seems we’re in another Forbidden Land. It appears the Forbidden Lands in the back mountain are all interconnected."

Luo Qianqian nodded: "I’m unclear about other things, but one thing is certain, we have made it out."

Huangfu Yihui stretched lazily: "These days have bored me to death. I haven’t wanted to leave, nor fight. Heaven knows how much I wanted to get out sooner!"

Long Tu glanced at him, shrugged slightly, silently thinking: Hardly!

Huangfu Yihui had been relentlessly pushing upwards, fighting and resting with structured precision.

After all, he carried both national and familial vengeance with him, which he couldn’t simply give up easily, right?

Di Jun stretched: "I’ve been sleeping the entire time."

Long Tu nodded, indeed, Di Jun had been sleeping constantly. Either the demon beasts above were lazy, or perhaps Di Jun possessed something peculiar that kept them from attacking him. What they ought to be seeing now was Di Jun objectified rather than the living embodiment.

Luo Qianqian pouted: "I don’t know why, but inside I felt like someone was watching me."

Long Tu was startled. The others couldn’t see each other, and the only one who could see Luo Qianqian would be... him.

But he was the master of the Demon Suppression Tower, using divine sense to observe. How could Luo Qianqian have perceived it?

"Let’s go; the exit has disappeared." Mo squinted slightly, felt a moment, and then said: "It seems the exit here has been closed."

After finishing, he swept his gaze at Long Tu without saying more.

Long Tu was taken aback, lowered his head, and thought: Could Mo have noticed something?

He couldn’t help but proceed cautiously; after all, if certain things were discovered prematurely, it would only lead to trouble and could potentially alter future plans. Such risks couldn’t be taken.

With Mo leading them out easily, the remaining group began researching something together.

Only one member of the patrol team sneaked away to follow them.

"You’re so slow." Upon seeing Huangfu Yanyao, Huangfu Yihui lightly mocked: "Sneaking away doesn’t matter, does it?"

"No worries, quite a few people have already gone with the sect members." Huangfu Yanyao smiled: "Though I thought you wouldn’t lose anyone, why are half gone?" Even Mo was leading, with Luo Qianqian as the weakest. Those with higher prowess than Luo Qianqian, how could there be an accident?

"We split up earlier..." Huangfu Yihui quickly explained, and then sighed: "Being with a bunch of prideful individuals can easily breed conflict, ah!"

"You’re not prideful?" Luo Qianqian interjected, listening to them, shrugging: "We’re all prideful, and thus never yielding."

"Yes, yes." Huangfu Yanyao laughed: "By the way, on my way, I picked up quite a few items... Of course, they were looted from bodies. Want to split them?"

"... Brother..." Huangfu Yihui was completely shocked, the proud Prince Huangfu Yanyao actually profiting from corpses? Truly unbelievable!

Huangfu Yanyao, however, stated earnestly: "If you don’t take, it’s a wasted opportunity. I even found an envelope, the assassination order, targeting... Shiqi."
