To be honest, Xiao Chen was a little dizzy from this huge surprise.
Everything had happened so fast that it felt unreal.
The space on the third floor had already become colorful, which meant that he had successfully passed the test of this floor.
However, he still didn't know how the energy that had flowed out of his body had appeared.
Xiao Chen stood there and pondered for a long time, but he still couldn't come up with a solution. So, he gave up. After all, this wasn't the first time something strange had happened to his body. Although some situations were out of his control, they didn't have any negative effects on him. So, Xiao Chen decided to just let it go.
As the saying goes, "Don't worry about too much debt, and don't itch when there are lice."
Then, Xiao Chen didn't delay. He was directly transported to a higher space. However, it wasn't the fourth floor. Instead, it was a resting place between the third and fourth floors.
The puppet had already said that in the Cloud Tower, there would be a reward for every three floors. Presumably, this floor was where the rewards would be distributed.
As soon as the 'senior' was transported in, Xiao Chen saw the puppet standing quietly in this space.
"Congratulations on passing the first three floors. Now, you have two choices. The first choice is to directly receive the reward of this floor and leave. The second choice is to continue upwards! Tell me your choice! " The puppet didn't say anything superfluous. It directly let Xiao Chen choose. "I need to remind you that if you choose to continue upwards, you won't be able to receive the reward for passing the first three floors even if you fail!"
To be honest, Xiao Chen was stunned when he heard these two choices.
This was because what he heard now was somewhat different from what the puppet had said outside the Cloud Tower. At that time, the puppet had said that every time one passed the third floor, they would receive a reward. However, it seemed like the puppet was saying that one could only leave after receiving the reward?
The puppet seemed to be able to read Xiao Chen's mind, as it suddenly revealed a smile. However, in Xiao Chen's eyes, this smile was somewhat eerie.
"If you covet the benefits in front of you and lose the courage to move forward, then you are not worthy of the ultimate treasure of the Cloud Pagoda! You're dreaming if you still want to move up after getting the benefits in front of you! "
This could be considered as an explanation for Xiao Chen. Although it was just a few sentences, Xiao Chen already understood the puppet's meaning.
Perhaps entering the Cloud Pagoda didn't give them the opportunity to obtain any benefits. It was just that the master of the Cloud Mystic Realm thought that cultivation wasn't easy, so he gave them the opportunity to choose.
If he took the current reward, he wouldn't be able to continue to challenge the higher levels.
This was also a test.
Perhaps it was a test of courage, or perhaps it was a test of character. Xiao Chen couldn't be sure, but he didn't hesitate for long. He chose not to accept the reward of the third floor and continued upwards!
Although he had almost died in the third stage, Xiao Chen still had two chances to start over.
If he just took the reward and left, Xiao Chen wouldn't be willing to accept it. At worst, he would just fail twice. Even if he couldn't make it to the next level, he wouldn't lose his life. At most, he wouldn't be able to obtain the reward of the third floor.
No matter how precious the rewards of the third floor were, Xiao Chen had already given up on them. Anyway, he had a lot of good things in his hands, so he might as well continue to challenge the higher levels.
"Very good!" After hearing Xiao Chen's decision, the puppet's eyes showed some approval. Then, it waved its hand and Xiao Chen was directly transported to the fourth floor.
The space of the fourth floor was a dusky place, as if there was a sandstorm.
Even with Xiao Chen's eyesight, he couldn't see through the gray dust to see further.
Xiao Chen didn't act rashly. He just stood where he was because his vision was blocked. Even his Divine Telekinesis was limited to a very small range.
Since he couldn't sense the situation here, Xiao Chen naturally didn't dare to run around casually. It would be bad if there was a huge danger hidden behind the yellow sand.
Moreover, according to the experience of the first three floors, the test here would come to him on its own. There was no need for him to run around at all.
However, on this floor, Xiao Chen was a little surprised that he hadn't been attacked at all after standing where he was for more than an hour. This made him wonder if there was really a test on this floor.
However, just as Xiao Chen was thinking about whether he should take the risk to look around, he suddenly heard a slight sound coming from below the ground.
Rustle, rustle, rustle.
The sound grew louder and louder. At first, it was barely audible, but by the end, it had turned into a buzzing sound, causing Xiao Chen's expression to turn serious.
Bang!
A khaki-colored flowing light suddenly shot out from the ground and rushed toward Xiao Chen's face.
"Brother Xiao, be careful!" Donghuang Zhong's anxious voice instantly sounded in Xiao Chen's mind.
Whoosh!
At this critical moment, Xiao Chen's reaction was extremely fast. He held the Fengsha Sword and directly slashed at the khaki-colored flowing light.
Chi chi!
In the next instant, the khaki-colored light was cut in half by the sword light and fell to the ground.
"What the hell is this?" After being cut to the ground, Xiao Chen finally saw clearly what the khaki-colored light was!
It was a golden insect. Although its entire body was now cut in half, even if the two halves were connected, their length was only about the length of an adult man's finger.
The strange thing was that the insect still didn't die after being cut in half. Instead, it kept wriggling and no blood flowed out.
Xiao Chen crouched down and wanted to take a closer look at what it was. However, the next moment, his expression instantly changed.
Just as he was about to crouch down, hundreds of khaki-colored lights shot toward him at high speed. Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Xiao Chen instantly waved his sword and killed these insects in a frenzy.
In just a few breaths, the hundreds of insects were all cut to the ground.
Just like the first insect, even if it was sad and its body was cut in half, it still didn't die and kept wriggling.
The only difference was that there were hundreds of insect corpses wriggling around under Xiao Chen's feet. It looked very disgusting.
Fortunately, he didn't have trypophobia. Otherwise, he would have been scared to death looking at the wriggling insect bodies all over the ground.
