Hei Dan put on a calm and collected air, "As long as you want it, of course I have a way."
Lu Fei was half-believing.
"Hey, I don't remember you being such a selfless person. What benefit do you get from telling me this secret?"
Seeing his thoughts exposed, Hei Dan gave an embarrassed smile.
Without hiding anything, he said, "I sensed a very strong dark aura within this tower. I'm very interested in this thing. I'll help you get this Soul Suppressing Tower, and you give me this dark aura."
"How about it? This dark aura is useless to you, but it's a treasure to a dark-element contract beast like me. Shall we make this deal?"
Lu Fei's expression was solemn. After a fierce internal struggle, he took a deep breath.
"Alright."
They returned to the small town. It was already late at night.
The exhaustion of the day made Lu Fei fall asleep quickly. He didn't hear the strange sounds that night.
The next day, Lu Fei did not go with the others but walked alone towards the hospital in the town center.
If he wanted to understand what happened on the higher floors of the Undead Tower, finding someone who had entered before was the most suitable approach.
The control at the township hospital was not very strict, and Lu Fei easily inquired about the news.
He arrived at a single room and knocked on the door.
After a long time, no one opened the door.
So he moved to another room. Just as he was about to knock, a young girl came out holding a change of clothes.
Seeing a strange face in front of her, the girl became alert.
"Who are you?"
"Oh, oh, oh..." Lu Fei chuckled, raising the fruit basket in his hand and saying, "Hello, I'm a Beast Tamer who is about to climb the Undead Tower. I heard Master Tang lives in this room and specifically came to visit."
Before coming, Lu Fei had done his homework. He bribed the nurses here to find out the patient's name and identity.
Seeing that the other party seemed to recognize her boyfriend, the girl lowered her guard slightly.
But she still refused Lu Fei's visit.
"You should go back, he needs to rest now."
Lu Fei looked a bit troubled, "I'll just leave the fruit basket and go."
The girl was about to refuse.
A weak voice came from the ward.
"Xiao Yu, let him in."
Hearing this, the girl then made way and let Lu Fei in.
But she also stood guard at the door.
Lu Fei walked into the ward and put down the fruit basket.
"Hello, Master Tang. My name is Lu Fei. I'm a Beast Tamer from Cang Town, Wen Min City. I ventured into the Undead Tower with my classmates a while ago. Several of my classmates were injured and hospitalized. I heard you were here too, so I came to visit."
On the bed, a young man looked very weak.
His face was pale, his lips were bloodless, and what was most shocking were his eyes.
His eye sockets were dark, his eyeballs sunken, looking as if he had been drained dry.
The young man's voice was faint.
"You are thoughtful, but I advise you not to go to the Undead Tower anymore."
Lu Fei's expression changed. It seemed he had found the right person.
"Heh, Master Tang, we all traveled thousands of miles to get here. We finally reached the third floor, and we were hoping to climb higher and learn from you."
"The third floor."
The young man's smile was strained.
"What is your strength?"
"About an intermediate Beast Tamer."
The young man did not probe further.
"Then this is probably your limit too."
"Go back, don't lose your life."
Lu Fei nodded, feigning compliance.
He changed the subject and asked, "Master Tang, what floor did you reach?"
Even though the young man was extremely weak, a hint of pride still showed.
"The eighth floor."
Lu Fei was surprised. He hadn't expected that this dying-looking young man was one of those few people!
Lu Fei followed up with a barrage of compliments.
The young man clearly seemed to be in better spirits after listening.
"Then can you tell me what's on the eighth floor? So I can brag to my classmates when I get back."
The young man shook his head, a hint of fear in his expression.
"That is hell without end."
Lu Fei was somewhat puzzled. These words sounded so mysterious.
"That was the most terrifying place I've ever seen. Mountains of corpses, suffocating pressure, and chilling screams."
As he spoke, the young man's body suddenly twitched.
The girl outside the door saw this and immediately ran in.
"Old Tang!"
"Nurse!!!"
She glared at Lu Fei, believing that it was because of him that her boyfriend was like this.
Under the effect of the nurse's tranquilizer, the young man gradually calmed down.
Although Lu Fei was still curious, he also felt guilty.
He prepared to leave with an apology.
Suddenly, the young man called out to him.
"The Undead Tower is a scam by Yu Heng Group. Don't keep trying to break through it."
Lu Fei turned back in surprise.
But the door to the room had already been closed.
"Yu Heng Group?"
What was this? Why had he never heard of this group?
Why would relic exploration be related to a group?
Lu Fei quickly left the hospital. Back at the hotel, he began searching for information about Yu Heng Group.
After more than an hour of searching, Lu Fei had a general understanding of some information.
According to the information from the internet, this group was a company specializing in contract beast research. They made profits by selling contract beast equipment, auxiliary items, and medicines.
It was established twenty-five years ago, and its founder was named...
Bai Yuheng?
But the current legal representative was Bai Yushu. Looking at their relationship, they seemed to be brothers?
Lu Fei frowned, trying hard to recall something.
Bai Yuheng... this name was so familiar, he felt like he had heard it somewhere before?
But he couldn't remember at all.
Bai Yuheng?
Lu Fei exhaled, trying to think.
That's it!
Lu Fei's spirits lifted.
He quickly typed the name into the internet.
Seeing the lines of information popping up online, Lu Fei's eyes rapidly scanned through them, unable to keep up.
Bai Yuheng, one of the original Ten Elders.
Code name, Kui Shui!
Scrolling down, there were various news reports about Bai Yuheng's disappearance.
Such as "Ten Elder Bai Yuheng disappeared into a mysterious relic and has been missing for three months, with no news!"
Or "Shocking! Ten Elder Bai Yuheng confirmed dead!"
Then, "Ten Elder Bai Yuheng disappeared, and his brother Bai Yushu took over as the chairman of Yu Heng Group!"
