Chapter 2115 - 1681: Divine Weapon Smelting Pool, Changsheng in Peril!

The surging scent of blood, in the brightly lit Divine Weapon Forging Tower, felt like a bomb had been dropped, instantly tightening the hearts of Gu Changsheng and his companions!

On the first floor of the Divine Weapon Forging Tower, aside from the scattered remnants of broken divine weapons, as long as you don’t greedily touch them, there wouldn’t be any danger, but in the second floor of the Divine Weapon Forging Tower, the rich scent of blood made people wary!

"Be careful, stay behind me, don’t move recklessly!" With eyes tightly fixed on the remaining steps, Gu Changsheng lifted his foot and continued upward, while cautioning those behind him.

At this moment, Gu Changsheng trusted no one to lead the way!

Only herself!

Only her, with an Undying and Uninjurable Body!

"Gu Changsheng, you be careful too, the deity has asked me to guard outside the tower, there’s no way it’s just damaged divine weapons inside!" Snake Piaopiao, side by side with Zhou Mu, closely following behind Gu Changsheng, couldn’t help but remind.

"I know!" Gu Changsheng nodded.

This sort of common sense, she had indeed!

There must be something in the Divine Weapon Forging Tower that even the deity valued immensely; otherwise, why let Snake Piaopiao, a little snake that became a spirit, watch over this place!

However, the danger that awaits them on this second floor, why is the scent of blood so intense!

From the intensity of the scent, Gu Changsheng could discern that the treasure hunters who entered earlier probably faced peril, likely more than half have suffered!

With a cautious heart, Gu Changsheng gingerly stepped forward, eyes alert in all directions, ears tuned to every sound, avoiding any large movement, inching up the stairs bit by bit...

When Gu Changsheng’s foot finally stepped onto the last step, he was struck somewhat dumb, his large Phoenix Eyes instantly widened at the scene before him!

This...

What kind of place is this?

Beneath his gaze, dazzling golden weapons floated mid-air, the shimmering gold exceedingly vibrant, and the bodies of the treasure hunters who entered earlier lay scattered all around, while those still alive seemed to be frenziedly scrambling for those floating weapons...

"That is..." Gu Changsheng raised his hand, pointing at the floating weapons, uncertainty clouding his Phoenix Eyes as he spoke...

"Divine Weapons! Genuine Divine Weapons! Divine Level Weapons!" Shi Wujue’s voice echoed behind Gu Changsheng, filled with astonishment too, "Though they are low-level divine weapons, without a doubt they are divine weapons...these here..."

How can there be so many perfect divine weapons here?

Unlike the divine weapons on the first floor of the forging tower, these ones are pristine!

The aura from the divine weapons veiled the entire second floor of the forging tower in gold light, dreamlike and unreal!

If not for the blood of those scrambling souls, if not for the dense, pervasive scent of blood saturating the air, they might almost suspect that this was not their illusionary realm!

"This...is this truly the Divine Weapon Forging Tower? Genuine divine weapons..." Gu Changsheng looked overhead at the glittering weapons, each like a beckoning hand, ablaze with gold light...

Gu Changsheng could hardly fathom how much strength an ordinary person would gain from obtaining one such divine weapon, nor could he imagine why so many divine level weapons existed here!

"So, this is why the deity had me protect this place? Divine Level Weapons! Perfect Divine Level Weapons! Unclaimed Divine Level Weapons! Weapons meant only for deities, each weapon destined to be special, each possessing unique power! So many...so very many..." Snake Piaopiao stood beside Gu Changsheng, a bit dumbfounded too!

She never imagined what she had been guarding for endless ages.

Until now, she suddenly felt that the endless ages she had spent guarding were worth it!

Divine Weapons!

Truly genuine divine weapons!

"Ah!"

But just as Gu Changsheng and others stared at those weapons in awe, Gu Changsheng, standing in the front, suddenly let out a cry of surprise, then as if being pulled by some force, swiftly slid towards the deepest end of the second forging tower!

"Changsheng!"

"Gu Changsheng!"

"Gu Changsheng!"

"..."

Upon seeing this, everyone let out an immediate shout, ignoring the divine weapons hovering around, ignoring the bloody battles for the divine weapons, Zhou Mu and Snake Piaopiao, who were right beside Gu Changsheng, also reacted the fastest!

Almost at the moment Gu Changsheng’s cry echoed, the two pursued Gu Changsheng’s silhouette swiftly!

Their chasing speed was quick, yet Gu Changsheng’s sliding speed was even quicker!

Zhou Mu’s outstretched hand and Gu Changsheng’s reaching hand merely brushed past, narrowly missing...

"Don’t come over! Don’t come over!"

After the initial shock, Gu Changsheng suddenly looked back and saw the direction she was being drawn towards at the end of the second layer of the Smelting Tower, there was a massive pool!

Within that pool, golden liquid flowed like erupting volcanic lava, a shocking sight, and countless ordinary weapons soaked in the pool, rolling with the flow of the golden liquid...

"Don’t come over!"

Although she didn’t know what that golden liquid in the pool was, Gu Changsheng sensed danger instinctively!

It was one thing for her to be drawn towards it, but how could she drag the people around her into peril as well?

"Gu Changsheng! Gu Changsheng, don’t be afraid! I will protect you! I’ll protect you! Grab my tail!"

Snake Piaopiao’s eyes widened in resentment as she watched Gu Changsheng’s figure move further away from her and Zhou Mu. Her crimson eyes contracted, and finally, she made a decision. With a flick of her tail, she wrapped it directly around Gu Changsheng’s waist...

"Snake Spirit Disease!"

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but cry out in shock, her Phoenix Eyes turning instantly warm!

She hadn’t expected that Snake Piaopiao would go this far for her!

They had clearly only met recently!

Almost at the moment Snake Piaopiao’s tail coiled around Gu Changsheng’s waist, Snake Piaopiao’s figure lost its support, quickly receding towards the pool with Gu Changsheng...

"Snake Spirit Disease! Let go! Let go! Let go already!"

Gu Changsheng looked at Snake Piaopiao, who was constantly being drawn along with her, and yelled hysterically.

She didn’t want to implicate Snake Piaopiao, dragging her along to her doom!

"No! I won’t let go! Even if I die, I won’t let go! I said I would protect you!"

Amid the constant retreat, Snake Piaopiao shook her head, her crimson eyes full of determination.

She was a Snake Spirit, without the convoluted human thinking. She only knew that if someone accepted her, treated her well, she should reciprocate!

And Gu Changsheng was the only human she had ever met who did not reject her and treated her well!

She loved this feeling, loved the warmth that came from Gu Changsheng, the feeling of being cared for made Snake Piaopiao think, she truly was a person, not just a lonely, ignored snake...

"It’s the Smelting Pool! The Divine Weapon Smelting Pool! Gu Changsheng! Gu Changsheng, come back!"

Following closely behind Zhou Mu, pursuing Gu Changsheng, Shi Wujue finally noticed the pool behind Gu Changsheng and nearly roared with a liver-splitting cry.

Divine Weapon Smelting Pool!

It was actually the Divine Weapon Smelting Pool!

Shi Wujue finally understood why there were so many Divine Level Weapons suspended in the air on the second layer of the Divine Weapon Forging Tower; it turned out there was a Divine Weapon Smelting Pool here!

The Divine Weapon Smelting Pool, the birthplace of Divine Level Weapons, ordinary weapons only need to soak for a century to undergo Metamorphosis and achieve Divine Level!

While living beings falling in would leave no remains, turning into blood!

"Gu Changsheng! Come back!" Shi Wujue’s eyes fell into despair in an instant. He didn’t know why Gu Changsheng was being drawn to this smelting pool, only knowing if she fell in, even if she had an Undying and Uninjurable Body, she could hardly withstand the water that dissolves everything in the Divine Weapon Creation Pool!

Dragging Snake Piaopiao while constantly retreating, Gu Changsheng heard Shi Wujue’s low howl, and couldn’t help but smile bitterly on her bright little face...

Retreat?

She wanted to retreat!

But she had to be able to retreat!

The attraction the Divine Weapon Smelting Pool emitted towards her left her completely unable to resist, unable to use even an ounce of Inner Strength!

"Snake Spirit Disease, let go of me!"

At this moment, what Gu Changsheng could do was not to drag Snake Piaopiao down together into the smelting pool!

Even if it’s death, only one would suffice, there was no reason to drag the once-freed Snake Piaopiao down with her!

"No! Even if it’s death, I won’t let go!" Snake Piaopiao heard her and immediately shook her head, her pointed face full of the spirit of breaking through a deadlock.

And in that blink of an eye, Gu Changsheng and Snake Piaopiao, driven by strong attraction, had already slid to the edge of the Divine Weapon Smelting Pool!

Just as Gu Changsheng’s figure was about to fall into the rolling golden liquid, at that critical moment, the Snake Piaopiao being dragged by Gu Changsheng extended a hand and grabbed the stone bricks by the edge of the pool...

With her tail wrapped around Gu Changsheng’s waist, Snake Piaopiao tightly grabbed the cracks between stone bricks with both hands. Under the force of attraction, Snake Piaopiao’s ten fingers gradually turned white, her meticulously trimmed nails broke, and almost instantly blood welled from her fingertips...

"Snake Spirit Disease! Let go of me! If this keeps on, you will die!"
