Through the monocular, Gu Qing Shan saw the situation inside the door.
Snakes.
A snake nest.
As far as Gu Qing Shan could see, there was nothing but a sea of intertwining snakes.
The number of snakes piled up in the room was enough to make anyone's scalp go numb.
Strangely, these snakes seemed to be sentient.
They were coiled together, craning their necks as they stared coldly at the door.
As if waiting for the door to open, they would rush out and swallow anyone who tried to enter.
These snakes were quite unique.
Various elemental powers appeared on their bodies.
Ice, Fire, Lightning, Wind, Darkness, Poison.
The various elemental powers weaved together to create a chaotic whirlpool of power.
As soon as the door opened, the intruder would be sucked into the whirlpool.
If the intruder wasn't strong enough, they wouldn't be able to escape from being devoured by the snakes.
This would be a very troublesome battle.
Gu Qing Shan extended the monocular a bit.
The room on the next floor appeared in the monocular.
A group of wraiths were fighting over a corpse. They were fighting each other without showing any signs of weakness.
The corpse was half-eaten, obviously a young human who participated in the call of the Bramble Birds.
Through this room, Gu Qing Shan saw another room full of running flaming bulls.
His vision went from the 600th floor all the way to the 550th floor.
There were a few real demons here, chasing after two men and a woman.
While running, they were toying with each other.
The difference in strength between them was too great.
If the two men and woman didn't have a holy silver cross in their hands, they would've already been killed by the demons.
But at this rate, the power of the cross would run out sooner or later.
After a while, they would be killed by the demons and their Soul Points would be used up by [Kindling].
"This isn't Triste's little problem, this is mine"
Gu Qing Shan muttered.
Recalling the War God UI Quest, Gu Qing Shan adjusted the monocular to look through a few hundred floors to the 239th floor.
— — -there was a demonized person on this floor.
Only to see sand moving back and forth in the room like a tidal wave.
The sand was burning bright red, as if it contained intense heat that caused the air around it to twist.
Other than that, there seemed to be nothing else.
However, through the binoculars, Gu Qing Shan saw a man lurking in the deepest part of the quicksand.
That person was hugging a snow-white longsword, standing motionlessly at the bottom of the quicksand.
Coincidentally, a door opened above the desert.
A young man holding a scimitar jumped out from the door.
"Haha, I've finally advanced another level!"
He laughed.
Without a sound, a glimmer thinner than silk brushed past his body.
The young man's body stiffened.
He fell headfirst into the desert, his body split into two in midair.
Zeng!
A flying sword drilled back into the desert and fell into the hands of the person hiding in the sand.
The man put away his flying sword, closed his eyes, and once again entered a state where he stopped breathing.
Gu Qing Shan finally noticed that there was a wooden door under this sword cultivator's feet.
On the wooden door was a row of numbers: 238.
As it turned out, this person's location was the door to the next level.
This person quietly hid here, not letting anyone who wanted to pass through this place go.
This is an excellent Hitman, Gu Qing Shan silently commented.
"System, the person who was killed by the demonized, didn't he carry [Kindling]?" he asked.
The War God System replied: [Those who are too weak, [Kindling] will only treat them as food]
"Got it"
That's true.
Even now, he still hasn't passed this level's test, so he's a bit weak.
Gu Qing Shan's gaze didn't stay here for too long.
Holding the binoculars, he scanned through the 600 floors one by one.
Bone-burying Swamp, Forest of Lost Souls, Lava Pool, Demon Town … the scenes of every room were shown through the binoculars, allowing Gu Qing Shan to see them.
On some floors, Gu Qing Shan saw quite a few people still struggling.
After all, there were quite a few people in the 900 million World Layers who answered the call of the Bramble Birds.
Gu Qing Shan just saw a person being eaten alive by a monster.
Unfortunately, that was the 97th floor, too far away for Gu Qing Shan to make it in time to save him.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask: "Will the Soul Points of all the people who died in this skyscraper be absorbed by [Kindling]?"
[Yes, [Kindling] will absorb the Soul Points of all the dead in this world] the War God System answered.
"I'm in a hurry, so can I not save them?"
[You can choose not to save them, but after [Kindling] devours everyone in this 600-floor skyscraper, the chance of it evolving into [Origin] will greatly increase]
Gu Qing Shan said nothing else.
Raising the binoculars, he scanned through all 600 floors, then returned to the 550th floor.
The two men and one woman who were running away were in grave danger.
The demons were about to break through the silver cross's protection.
Gu Qing Shan put the binoculars down and silently sighed.
If that's the case, he still has to save everyone — — - but he doesn't have that much time.
"Why do you look so disappointed? Is my binoculars not working? "Lola asked.
Gu Qing Shan shook his head and gave the binoculars back to Lola.
"I just couldn't find my girlfriend"
"That's really bad news" Lola said sympathetically.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit.
If I save these people trapped in this skyscraper, I'll be stuck here for a very long time.
I can't ignore them either.
If [Kindling] absorbs their Soul Points, its chance of evolving will greatly increase.
While he was hesitating, Gu Qing Shan accidentally saw the notification on the War God UI.
The current Quest was still there:
[The first Quest: Flying Bird, has been released]
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
A flash of inspiration came to him.
At first, he thought that the 600th floor would be very complicated, and that only Flying Bird would be able to ignore everything and come and go as it pleased, so he casually came up with this Quest name.
But now, he really has to thank this name.
He drew the Six Paths Great Mountain sword and lightly cut a square hole in the ground.
This formed a tunnel — — the tunnel leading to the 600th floor.
"Why aren't you going in even though the door is open?"
Lola asked.
"Just an experiment" Gu Qing Shan stared at the hole in the ground and replied.
"Your sword is quite good, a cold weapon that can easily cut through the world barrier is quite rare" Lola was intrigued.
Gu Qing Shan didn't answer and silently sighed in relief.
If she was trapped by the Lord Of Blood's soul-specific defense again like last time, it would've been quite troublesome.
At the time, Gu Qing Shan was pretending to be asleep, so she was perfectly caught off guard and fell for it.
Since she was already caught off guard, it wouldn't be easy to break through.
Fortunately, the Six Paths Great Mountain sword's Law Breaker property worked this time and directly cut a hole in the 600th floor's world barrier.
Just like that, Gu Qing Shan's plan could be carried out.
Ssss ssss ssss ~
The sound of hissing could be heard from the hole that Gu Qing Shan just made.
In the snake nest, the chaos elemental snakes became restless.
"What's that sound? What's inside? "Lola asked.
She couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy.
"Not suitable for children" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"That's amazing!"
Lola excitedly raised her monocular to take a look.
Gu Qing Shan put down the monocular.
"No need to look"
"Why?"
"It's actually just a bunch of cute kids"
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan changed [War God Title] to [Ace Hitman].
"Title: Ace Assassin."
[Equipping this title grants you the Skill: Harvest (Advanced)]
[Harvest (Advanced): Whenever you kill an opponent in one hit, the spirit energy used for that hit will be fully replenished]
— — -this way, you'll have an ample supply of spirit energy.
Gu Qing Shan tapped her Inventory Bag again.
A set of battle armor riddled with scars flew out.
A full set of You Ji General armor.
In the past, many people had voiced their doubts.
— — -why did they have to make the Generals' armor such an eye-catching color? This way, the Generals' safety on the battlefield would be a huge issue.
At the time, Hundred Flowers Fairy only replied with a single sentence to shut everyone up.
"We are cultivators, only cultivators who lead the charge are qualified to wear the Generals' armor"
The armor abruptly scattered, each part swimming around Gu Qing Shan's body like sentient fishes.
This set of You Ji General armor consisted of a faceplate, breastplate, pauldrons, arm guards, gauntlets, belt, knee pads, combat boots, and other parts. Every part looked extremely simple, without any unnecessary decorations, except for the complex and profound runes that were etched all over.
Although the armor was golden, it didn't look ostentatious on Gu Qing Shan at all, instead, it gave off a faint sense of dignity and vicissitudes.
Lola observed his armor and muttered: "What a beautiful set of toys"
"Toys?"
"That's right, this armor is too shabby, even more so compared to your sword" Lola was very picky.
"I'll just make do with it"
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan put Lola down from his shoulder and placed her in front of his chest.
He then took out a long rope and began to tie himself and Lola together.
"What are you doing?" Lola was cautious.
"This is to hold you in place so that we won't get separated during the intense battle — — don't worry, I've already sworn that I'll bring you out" Gu Qing Shan told him.
His movements were quick and the rope quickly tied the two of them up.
Gu Qing Shan then quickly tied the knot and walked a few steps to test the rope's stability.
It's perfectly secured.
— — -this way, there's no need to worry about Lola falling down.
He nodded in satisfaction.
"I feel like you're hiding something from me" Lola doubtfully asked.
"What's there to hide"
Gu Qing Shan laughed it off and quickly walked to the edge of the 600-story building.
"I'm just going to be a flying bird"
He put the silver mask on his face and finished his final preparations.
Lola slowly realized something and hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, you know I'm afraid of heights, how about we — — AAAARGH! Gu Qing Shan, I hate you! "
Following Lola's screams, Gu Qing Shan abruptly jumped out of the building.
Passing through the dark clouds, they quickly descended along with the howling snowstorm.
In the blink of an eye, Gu Qing Shan had already passed a few dozen floors.
— — -this way, he doesn't need to go down floor by floor, saving a lot of time.
Almost immediately, lines of text appeared on the [Kindling] UI.
This line of text quickly turned into a voice message.
[Please return to the roof immediately!]
[Please return to the roof immediately!]
[You cannot jump down from the building, you won't receive Triste's reward that way]
"Reward? I don't need a reward "Gu Qing Shan replied.
[But if you jump down like that, you won't get any Soul Points]
[Kindling] continued: [Please take this seriously, without Soul Points, you won't get anything!]
No Soul Points …
Gu Qing Shan didn't answer for a while.
A sword suddenly appeared in his hand.
The Six Paths Great Mountain sword.
"550th floor … right here!" Gu Qing Shan shouted in a low voice.
The sword moved.
— — Secret Art, [Water Flow Severance]!
A vast sword phantom manifested and shot towards the outer wall of the skyscraper.
Dong dong dong dong dong!
Following a thunderous explosion, a large hole was opened on the outer wall of the 550th floor.
The snowstorm howled as it went in.
Gu Qing Shan let go of the Six Paths Great Mountain sword and drew the heavy Earth sword.
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
Almost at the same time, several ferocious howls resounded from this floor.
Following that, a heavy thud could be heard, followed by cries of joy.
In just a breath's worth of time, Gu Qing Shan had once again appeared outside the skyscraper.
He continued to descend.
The blood on the sword scattered into the snowstorm.
Gu Qing Shan held the sword in one hand, holding the trembling Lola tightly with the other.
