Chapter 218 - 218: Laying In Ambush
"No problem," Fang Hong replied almost without hesitation, showing no concern on his face.
It wouldn't be too late to deal with these Demonic Emperors after entering the Beast God Tower. If he were to act here and now, it would be easy for them to escape in the chaos.
Seeing Fang Hong agree so readily, Fire Dragon Emperor couldn't help but feel suspicious.
This human cultivator had remained calm and composed from beginning to end. Could he be hiding some powerful trump card?
Humans had always been cunning and insidious; it was impossible for him to come here to die for no reason. Thinking of this, Fire Dragon Emperor felt a strange sense of unease rise in his heart.
The other Demonic Emperors were also taken aback by Fang Hong's composure, each of them staring at him with solemn expressions, trying to discern a hint of panic on his face.
Fang Hong, however, ignored these gazes. He simply stood quietly to the side, his hands clasped behind his back, his gaze fixed on the Beast God Tower, patiently waiting for it to open.
This wait lasted for a full three hours.
At this moment, Poison Dragon, with a hint of impatience, asked doubtfully, "What are those two from Old Sheep dawdling about? They're still not here?"
"A few days ago, I sent my subordinates to invite them. Their Immortal Cave's door was tightly shut, so they must be in seclusion cultivating. Perhaps they won't be coming this time," Azure Leaf Elephant Emperor mused, guessing.
"It doesn't matter whether they come or not. With the help of this Human Fellow Daoist, with our combined strength, we will surely defeat those two puppet guardians and obtain the treasures inside."
Fire Dragon Emperor spoke calmly, subtly shifting the topic to Fang Hong, his gaze following suit.
The attention of the Demonic Emperors once again focused on Fang Hong, but he remained unmoved, his expression as calm as ever.
This demeanor made the Demonic Emperors increasingly unable to fathom his thoughts.
They only felt that Fang Hong was like a bottomless ancient well. Although his cultivation was only at the Late Stage of Divine Transformation, he was even more unfathomable than those old monsters who had lived for thousands of years.
"Hmph, what's with the pretense of being unfathomable? Just wait until we're inside the Tower. Let's see how you can still act so calm then. We'll see how you die." Poison Dragon thought viciously to himself.
He refused to believe that under the combined assault of so many Demonic Emperors, Fang Hong would still have any chance to escape.
Boom.
Just as the atmosphere grew increasingly tense, the Beast God Tower suddenly let out a deafening roar, and its body began to emit a faint white light.
The huge black stone door at the base of the Tower also began to slowly open backward.
A moment later, the stone door was fully open.
The center of the stone door began to twist and rotate, finally forming a spatial teleportation passage about ten feet wide, emanating a faint blue light.
"The Beast God Tower has opened, Fellow Daoist, why don't you go in first? It would also allow us to witness the demeanor of a human cultivator," Fire Dragon Emperor said, looking at Fang Hong with a smile.
He looked like a kind old man.
Fang Hong smiled when he heard this. Were these beasts afraid that he would take the opportunity to slip away?
Without another word, he leaped directly into the spatial teleportation gate, his figure instantly disappearing.
"This human, he actually dared to go in first?"
Poison Dragon's eyes widened, his face full of surprise, completely unable to understand what Fang Hong was planning.
"I always feel that something is not right. Although the qi on this human is only at the Late Stage of Divine Transformation, that calmness is too abnormal."
"Could he be hiding some secret killer weapon? Otherwise, why wouldn't he be afraid of us at all?" Azure Leaf Elephant Emperor frowned, his expression worried.
"Hmph, with his Cultivation at the Late Stage of Divine Transformation, no matter how powerful his killer weapon is, he shouldn't hope to break through my Old Turtle's defense," Earth Rock Turtle Emperor said with a confident look, deeply convinced of his defensive capabilities.
Phantom Wolf Emperor had remained silent. Fang Hong's abnormal actions raised a strong sense of vigilance in his heart, and he even had the urge to turn around and return to his clan immediately.
How could a Human Cultivator who could cultivate to the Late Stage of Divine Transformation come here to provoke and seek death for no reason? He must be hiding a powerful trump card.
"Phantom, you haven't been scared by that Human, have you?" Seeing Phantom Wolf Emperor's worried expression, Poison Dragon couldn't help but tease him.
"Or are you saying that you think we few combined can't deal with a single human cultivator?"
"I won't be participating in this trip to the Beast God Tower," Phantom Wolf Emperor pondered for a moment, and finally decided to withdraw.
After speaking, he transformed into a white light and instantly disappeared from everyone' sight.
"Wh-what? You." Seeing that Phantom Wolf Emperor had actually left, Poison Dragon's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
"This Phantom fellow is too cautious, isn't he? He was actually scared away by that Human," Azure Leaf Elephant Emperor snorted, a hint of disdain in his tone.
"But it's good too; with him gone, we can get more benefits from the treasures."
"Phantom has always been like this, let's not mind him for now. Let's go."
Fire Dragon Emperor shook his head, taking the lead and entering the spatial passage first.
"Hmph, Phantom, that coward," Poison Dragon complained, then followed closely behind.
Azure Leaf Elephant Emperor and Earth Rock Turtle Emperor exchanged glances and entered the spatial passage together.
After everyone had entered, the stone door at the bottom of the Beast God Tower slowly closed again. According to the usual rules, it would not open again until a month later.
Just as the stone door closed, a white light silently darted out from the distant dense forest. It was precisely Phantom Wolf Emperor, who had just left.
His eyes flickered, and he muttered to himself in a low voice, "A bunch of idiots. This human dared to come here so openly and even agreed to enter the Beast God Tower together. Do they really think he's a fool?"
"If this human really has some trump card and can deal with Fire Dragon and the others, he will probably be severely injured."
"When he comes out of the Tower, he will be at his weakest. I'll take the opportunity to ambush him then, and I'll surely be able to eliminate him in one fell swoop."
"By then, the entire Eastern Region will be the domain of my Phantom Wolf Clan."
Phantom Wolf Emperor's face showed a cold smile as he plotted in his mind how to ambush Fang Hong and reap the benefits.
He raised his hand, and a gray stone appeared on the ground not far from the Beast God Tower.
If one looked closely, they would find that this stone was actually wriggling slightly, and there was a pinhole-sized opening in the middle of the stone, shimmering with a faint light.
This was actually a Demon Beast called a Stone Eye Beast. It wasn't strong in combat but was skilled at concealing itself and was specifically used to monitor the enemy's movements.
Phantom Wolf Emperor had placed the Stone Eye Beast here to constantly monitor the movements of the Beast God Tower.
As soon as Fang Hong came out of the Tower, he would know his whereabouts immediately.
After doing all this, Phantom Wolf Emperor left the Beast God Tower.
For some reason, he always felt that Fire Dragon and the others might be in trouble this time.
