Chapter 1849 - 1446: Third Layer, Restless Waiting

"Diluo Han, why haven’t they come up to chase us yet? Could they have started fighting among themselves and died on the second level?" A strong guy quietly approached Diluo Han, seeking some mental solace.

Upon hearing this, Diluo Han shot a glance at the strong guy, his face stern, but he did not speak.

Internal strife?

Those people?

Impossible!

For no apparent reason, Diluo Han felt that Gu Changsheng’s team was different from the team that had formed in the Star Innate Tower due to overcoming obstacles. They weren’t selfish and wouldn’t engage in internal fights!

They seemed to be of one heart, completely trusting each other!

Although Diluo Han didn’t understand why he felt this way!

The strong guy, feeling ignored by Diluo Han, couldn’t help but feel somewhat embarrassed. He cursed inwardly, thinking Diluo Han was too full of himself. So what if he had once reached the third layer of the Star Innate Tower? What’s so special about that? After all, they had all reached the third layer now and were still well and alive, weren’t they?

Indeed, the strong guy overlooked the fact that if it weren’t for the threat from Gu Changsheng’s knife, they would have engaged in a good fight on the second layer. How could they have easily and safely ascended to the third layer otherwise?

Who knew how many fewer deaths there had been!

"Those people are entirely centered around that woman; they certainly won’t be fighting among themselves. It’s just that we don’t know why they haven’t come up to chase us yet!"

"We should be cautious. This chessboard’s endgame is peculiar. We don’t want to end up being attacked from both sides if they do come up to chase us!"

"Right, right, this brother makes sense!"

"..."

Inexplicably, faced with a formidable enemy like Gu Changsheng, the hundred or so people on the third layer of the Star Innate Tower found a unified stance!

However, despite their unified front, they were even more anxious!

Everyone’s gaze at the entrance to the third layer of the Star Innate Tower became more vigilant!

"Why haven’t they come up to chase us yet? Are they chasing us or not?!"

"It’s driving people crazy! If we’re going to be killed or tortured, at least let it be quick! Leaving us hanging like this, what kind of situation is this?"

"..."

There are always some who lack patience, and right now, having waited for so long, some people anxiously gnawed at the dry, bent bread in their hands looking as though they’d rather be dead than alive!

Zhou Mu was efficient in his work, finally, as Zhou Mu ascended along the spiraling staircase, after scooping out the Luminous Pearl embedded in the stairs, Gu Changsheng and his group reached the entrance to the third layer of the Star Innate Tower!

Staring at the tower entrance ahead, Gu Changsheng took a deep breath, then frowned slightly!

"Damn, something’s not right. Why is it so quiet here in the third layer of the Star Innate Tower? There’s not even a hint of blood?"

This was not what they had anticipated. In the earlier two layers of the Star Innate Tower, hadn’t they always heard the faint sound of fighting inside even before entering? Could it be smelled of blood?

But this time, unexpectedly, there’s nothing!

This puzzled Gu Changsheng!

"Could it be that this third layer is a freebie?" Gu Changsheng blinked and spoke with an uncertain face.

"Wishful thinking!" Zhou Mu smiled lightly upon hearing this, raised his hand, and tapped his little woman’s forehead.

"Oops, alright, I was indeed wishful thinking. No way Ta You, the damned one, would be so kind to let us peacefully ascend the third layer of the Star Innate Tower!" Gu Changsheng thought for a moment and realized he was being wishful. Someone like Ta You, with a boundless dark psychological area, would absolutely not be so kind.

The Holy Envoy Child, who followed Gu Changsheng’s group, heard this and immediately appeared extremely indignant!

What did they mean by not letting them safely ascend the third layer?

They had already passed through two layers; could anyone be safer or smoother than them?

Not only had they eaten well and drunk well, but they had also greatly relished their meals and entirely looted the Star Innate Tower!

Originally, the Holy Envoy Child had not felt much injustice for his master. However, hearing it from Gu Changsheng, the Holy Envoy Child suddenly felt that his master was quite wronged!

Gu Changsheng, unaware of the Holy Envoy Child’s internal upheaval, merely stood at the entrance of the third layer of the Star Innate Tower, took another deep breath, and solemnly said, "If something is abnormal, there must be something strange. We must be careful!"

If someone else had said these words, the Holy Envoy Child would have thought they were being cautious. But these words spoken by Gu Changsheng inexplicably gave him a strange sense that Gu Changsheng was measuring a gentleman’s stomach with a petty heart!

Holding the Slaughtering Knife, Gu Changsheng vigilantly leaned against the tower door, listening carefully for any sounds from within.

To her disappointment, there was absolutely no sound!

This differed from the previous layers’ tranquility, inexplicably giving Gu Changsheng a sense of discord like calm before the storm.

But, she couldn’t stay outside just because it was too quiet inside, right?

Gu Changsheng wasn’t raised to be fearful!

So, after pondering, Gu Changsheng decided resolutely, exchanged a look with her evildoer and Shi Wujue, then held the knife across her chest, vigilantly stretched out her hand, and pressed it against the closed tower door...

"Crack!"

The sound of their movement was very abrupt in the silence.

Gu Changsheng looked vigilant.

The hundred or so people in the third layer of the Star Innate Tower heard this noise and immediately looked toward the tower door...
