1130: 289 Chapter 4 1130: 289 Chapter 4 If it hadn’t been for Cao Zhen, she wouldn’t have chosen this entrance.
She saw Cao Zhen inspecting the broken drum in front of him, but this was not the only drum here.
Soon, four people, one who seemed the most inconspicuous, flew down to one of the drums, touched it with his hand, glanced at the drumstick, and finally looked at the door behind the drum, thoughtfully listening to the sound of drumbeats coming from the tower.
Situ Di lagged slightly and flew down behind them, bowing to Immortal Bi Yue beside him, “I have seen Immortal Bi Yue.
In some time, our Five Sounds Sect will face a Sect Tribulation, and we will rely greatly on Immortal Bi Yue.”
Earlier, when they were outside, there were too many people, and he did not want to draw attention, so he didn’t greet Immortal Bi Yue.
Now that they were inside the relic, where everyone was from the Great Teaching, especially Immortal Bi Yue who would help them with their Sect Tribulation, naturally, he had to greet her.
“Of course,” Immortal Bi Yue replied, but she moved closer to Cao Zhen.
Cao Zhen was her treasured asset now, as the amount she could gain within this relic depended highly on him.
However, Cao Zhen’s strength was very weak, he was only at the stage of Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills, and he hadn’t even achieved Pill Fusion.
She naturally had to protect Cao Zhen.
Although the people from the Five Sounds Sect needed her and probably wouldn’t attack Cao Zhen abruptly, he was too pivotal, so she still preferred to be cautious.
While the two spoke, the cultivator from the Five Sounds Sect who had just checked the drum turned to the other three and Situ Di, “Senior brother, junior brother, come take a look at this drum, inspect its material.”
The four, upon hearing this, reached out to touch the drum.
Cao Zhen, seeing their actions, became even more certain of his thoughts.
The opposing group had more numbers and had rushed here as well, and they understood musical rhythm.
If they were allowed to take the lead and there were treasures inside the tower, those treasures would belong to them.
“Bi Yue, you also check the material of the drum and drumstick,” Cao Zhen quickly said.
Once Bi Yue had felt the drum and drumstick, he urged, “Let’s leave here now.”
Bi Yue didn’t ask further and immediately flew off into the distance with Cao Zhen using her Divine Weapon.
Just as they had flown away, the quiet leader of the Five Sounds Sect suddenly spoke, “Senior brother, junior brother, go out quickly to find the Strange Beast.
The drum skin and drumsticks are obviously from some Strange Beasts, which should be nearby.”
Saying this, he pointed towards the door behind him, “If I am not wrong, if we restore one of the drums and then sound it, resonating the drumbeat with the one from the tower, the door behind us will open.
Moreover, from the movements of the person with Immortal Bi Yue, they seem to have guessed this as well.
Therefore, we need to split up, I’d appreciate it if senior brother and junior brothers could find the Strange Beast, and I will stay here to listen to the changes in the drum sounds, preferably, as soon as you bring back the skin and bones of the beast, I could strike the drum immediately to resonate with the drum sound from the tower.”
On hearing this, everyone responded.
“We can split up because Senior Brother Miao Yin is at the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection stage; Senior Brother should have no troubles listening to the drum sounds.
But it’s different for Immortal Bi Yue.
The cultivation base of the person beside her is visibly not high, releasing only Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills and hasn’t even completed Pill Fusion.
His combat prowess, while passable outside, in this relic, without Immortal Bi Yue, he could be killed by anyone anytime.”
“So, even if they have guessed the method, we don’t need to worry too much.
That person can only stay with Immortal Bi Yue; he cannot stay here and listen to the drum sounds from the tower like Senior Brother.
Even if they come back, they can’t resonate with the drum sounds from the tower.”
“And besides, even if that person is proficient in musical rhythm, how could he possibly compare to Senior Brother?”
“Alright,” Miao Yin lightly waved her hand, “Our opponents are not just Immortal Bi Yue, you all should hurry to find those beast bones and skins.”
After Cao Zhen and Immortal Bi Yue discussed his deductions, they began searching around the area.
The drum skin was clearly tiger skin, and the drumsticks were likely tiger bones, but after searching the area for a long while, they didn’t see a single tiger-like Strange Beast.
There were very few Strange Beasts to be seen here altogether.
The two began to walk towards the deeper parts of the relic, but by the time dusk set in, and the sky started to darken, they had not found a Strange Beast suitable for making drum skin and drumsticks.
Cao Zhen looked up at the sky and recalled the skeletons and resentful spirits he had encountered in the relics of the Eastern Wasteland.
He suggested, “It’s getting dark, let’s look for the rest tomorrow and find a place to safely spend the night.”
