Chapter 548 - 648: 1 Blood Worm
Yu Shan felt that this angle was really good, so he decided to make this the place to put the lookout tower.
Yu Shan directly took out the lookout tower from his bosom, then thrust it hard into the mountainside, quickly moving to the side as he said to Ye Tianfan, "Move over there, this lookout tower is going to get quite big."
Upon hearing this, Ye Tianfan didn't bother to look at the lookout tower that was already starting to slowly expand and hurriedly moved to one side.
Before long, the lookout tower stopped growing, and the edge of it happened to be right next to Yu Shan, meaning that if Yu Shan had been any slower, the lookout tower would have pushed him off.
Though it wouldn't have caused fatal injury, it would have still been quite painful for Yu Shan.
At this moment, Ye Tianfan was also just a little beside Yu Shan.
Ye Tianfan looked at the lookout tower, which was not exactly large but also not too small, and couldn't help but say, "Brother Yu Shan, is this what you meant by big?"
"Ahem!" Yu Shan coughed awkwardly and said, "I don't know, it's what my master told me when he gave it to me."
Ye Tianfan heard this, smiled, shook his head, and then began to move towards the lookout tower.
"Let's go! Brother Yu Shan, let's go inside and take a look first!" Ye Tianfan said.
"Alright, let's go check it out!" Yu Shan said, and began to climb the lookout tower as well.
Actually, the entrance of this lookout tower was at its lower end, but Ye Tianfan and the others were on the right side of the lookout tower, so they thought they could just climb in through the window.
However, to their surprise, the window was blocked by a thin layer of membrane, and Yu Shan, looking embarrassed, said to Ye Tianfan, "It seems we can't get in from here!"
"Then where do we get in?" Ye Tianfan asked after hearing this, and he also had a clearer understanding of how little Yu Shan knew about the lookout tower.
"We can only enter through the entrance below," Yu Shan said.
"In that case, we'll have to go down to the bottom of the lookout tower first!" After saying that, Ye Tianfan began climbing downward.
Then when they reached the entrance, yet another obstacle blocked their way because the entrance had a restriction that needed to be unlocked in order to enter.
Yu Shan almost couldn't remember how to unlock the restriction.
By the time they safely entered the entire lookout tower, over two hours had passed from when the lookout tower finished expanding to when Ye Tianfan and the others entered it.
"Finally we're in, so tiring!" As soon as Ye Tianfan entered the lookout tower, he lay down on the ground, panting heavily.
Yu Shan did the same, also lying on the ground, panting heavily.
During the climb, not being able to use Spiritual Power meant that Spiritual Power couldn't relax the muscles, causing them to gradually become exhausted.
At this moment, Ye Tianfan clearly felt that the Spiritual Power inside his body started nourishing his muscles, and the muscle soreness had started to fade away.
Before long, both Ye Tianfan and Yu Shan were able to stand up.
"With Spiritual Power, things are really great! Without it, it's just too exhausting!" Ye Tianfan said once Yu Shan stood up as well.
"Indeed! Let's see how the view is from here!" Yu Shan said, then walked toward the window.
Ye Tianfan, hearing this, also came to the window.
When Ye Tianfan reached the window, he found that the lookout angle from here was truly all-encompassing. He glanced at Heaven-Reaching Town below and discovered that all angles of the town were visible, with almost no blind spots.
Just as Yu Shan was about to say something, suddenly the lookout tower shook violently.
Feeling the tremor, Ye Tianfan asked Yu Shan, "What happened? Was it not secured well? Is it going to fall?"
"Impossible, it won't fall. Once it started expanding, it would have firmly embedded itself into Heaven-Reaching Peak, otherwise it wouldn't have grown," Yu Shan said, denying the possibility.
Then Ye Tianfan felt that the sunlight outside suddenly dimmed.
Looking out the window, Ye Tianfan saw a layer of red flesh blocking almost all the windows.
Seeing this familiar sight, Ye Tianfan uncertainly asked Yu Shan, "Why does this look so much like Blood Worm skin?"
"This is Blood Worm skin!" Yu Shan said with a calm expression.
Upon hearing Yu Shan's reply, Ye Tianfan was momentarily dumbfounded, then instinctively looked at Yu Shan. Seeing Yu Shan's calm demeanor, he asked, "Has the Blood Worm found us? Why aren't you nervous?"
"Nervous about what? This lookout tower is a rare-grade Magical Treasure, with a very high defense level, and it was personally activated by our Sect Leader. It can't be broken unless the Spiritual Power is depleted or by a top-tier force from ten directions!" Yu Shan remained calm as he spoke.
Hearing this, Ye Tianfan nodded and calmed down as well. Since Brother Yu Shan was so confident, why should he be so nervous? That would be too embarrassing!
And so, Ye Tianfan and Yu Shan stood there calmly.
Of course, it would have been better if their trembling legs were ignored.
In truth, Ye Tianfan didn't know that Yu Shan was also very nervous. Yu Shan really didn't know much about this lookout tower Magical Treasure, not even its functions. However, he couldn't show that in front of Ye Tianfan.
After all, the Magical Treasure was brought by Yu Shan, so if Yu Shan appeared nervous, it would suggest that the treasure was useless, not even trusted by its own bearer.
"Brother Yu Shan, why do you think the Blood Worm came to the lookout tower?" After standing for quite a while without any movement from the Blood Worm, Ye Tianfan asked Yu Shan.
"I'm not sure, but it looks like this Blood Worm fell down and might be dead from starvation. Perhaps its companions will come to eat it soon!" Yu Shan said.
No sooner had Yu Shan finished speaking than the lookout tower trembled again a few times, and Ye Tianfan saw the blood-red flesh moving away from the lookout tower. Then Ye Tianfan saw several other Blood Worms biting the Blood Worm, climbing upwards as they ate its corpse.
It made Ye Tianfan feel extremely nauseous.
"This... this is too disgusting!" Ye Tianfan said, struggling to hold back his urge to vomit.
"Demon Beasts are like this, you'll get used to it!" Yu Shan suppressed the bile rising in his throat and said calmly.
