The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 8 Military General Trials

His features were obscured, as if he were hidden by a gray-black mask. He also had no idea what kind of body lay beneath the black robe.

His heart skipped a beat.

At that moment, he heard Lü Lingqi's voice, which she tried to lower but still couldn't hide, trembling: "Run!"

"Why are you running?" Zhang Liao asked, puzzled. The next second, he froze, staring at the countless bluish-black scythes that suddenly appeared before him. But Chen Er pulled him back sharply at that moment!

"Run!"

Chen Er roared, simultaneously slashing his blade at the head of the assassin before him. The next second, it felt as if he had struck metal; the intense vibration made his hand go numb. Meanwhile, the assassin's bluish-black scythe was about to come crashing down.

If that strike had landed accurately, Chen Er would likely have been split in two. In that life-or-death moment, the mercenary's memories, long dormant within his blood, were awakened. Chen Er howled like a wolf, dodging the assassin's attack at an incredible angle. Then, he delivered a powerful kick to the assassin's back, using the momentum to sprint headlong into the depths of the tunnel!

Zhang Liao and Lü Lingqi had already run ahead of him. At this moment, even with many questions in his heart, Chen Er would not stop. Beside him lay an abyss of despair, where a slight misstep could lead to utter destruction, yet these were death warriors who appeared and disappeared like ghosts.

He had no other choice but to run away. However, just as they were about to reach the end of the passageway, Zhang Liao and Lü Lingqi suddenly stopped.

Could it be that something else has happened? When he finally saw what was at the end of the passage, Chen Er was immediately filled with unprecedented fear.

At the end of the passageway, where the eerie blue light dimmed, countless shadows, like sculptures, raised their dark blue scythes, pointing them at them.

"Could we... bypass them?" Chen Er heard a slight tremor in his voice.

“No, the place they are in is the teleportation array that leads to the second floor of the Warrior Tower,” Lu Lingqi said bitterly.

"What exactly are they? Why do I feel like they're not human at all!" Zhang Liao gasped.

At this moment, they were blocked in front, pursued from behind, and surrounded by endless abysses on both sides. Unless they could fly, they were completely helpless.

"I don't know, I don't know anything." Lü Lingqi's voice was already choked with tears.

"I've only heard that anyone who has seen assassins has died."

The moment those words were spoken, the temperature in the entire space seemed to drop several degrees. A bone-chilling cold and the fear of death enveloped the three of them. The small gap that had previously existed between them now seemed utterly insignificant.

Even with Zhang Liao's exceptional talent and potential as a military commander, he was momentarily at a loss when faced with something beyond his imagination, let alone Lü Lingqi. It was unclear whether seeing these assassins had awakened past memories for her, but her face was filled with terror.

This can't go on. If this continues, even if we don't die at the hands of these monsters, we'll be driven mad. Chen Er bit his tongue, the stimulation of the blood clearing his mind. He took a deep breath, then looked at the two people and roared:

"Cheer up, everyone! If you don't want to die! Miss Lü Lingqi, I don't know what you've remembered, but since you've heard of the existence of assassins, it proves that among those who have seen them, there must be survivors! I think there must have been others who encountered the same situation as us before! Don't be afraid. If some people can escape the assassins' encirclement and kill them alive, why can't we!"

Chen Er said urgently. The assassins behind and in front of him all stopped and ceased their pursuit.

If they were wise, Chen Er would not have felt that they were mercifully letting him go, but rather that they were mocking his powerlessness!

"Brother is right! We're inside the Warrior Tower! No matter what these assassins are, the people inside the Warrior Tower will soon realize something's wrong! They'll definitely come to save us!" Zhang Liao shouted.

"Come and save us? How could that be! How can you still be so stupid! This is the Warrior's Tower, and there are assassins here. Don't you know what that means?" Lü Lingqi's face was ashen.

"This means there are people inside the Warrior Tower who want us to die here! We have no chance of getting any help!"

"If we can't get help, then we'll rush to the second floor and find help ourselves! Unless the people inside the Warrior Tower have reached a consensus to kill us, we still have hope!"

What Lü Lingqi had thought of, Chen Er had already thought of long ago. And he had already devised a strategy to deal with it!

It's obvious that someone conspired with people inside the Samurai Tower to kill him and Zhang Liao!

“What if the Samurai Tower has reached a consensus and wants to kill us?” Zhang Liao suddenly spoke from the darkness.

Chen Er remained silent for a moment, then gripped the dagger in his hand tightly:

"Then I will turn the Samurai Tower into a living hell!"

At this moment, the monsters known as the Death Warriors stopped for some reason, simply surrounding the three of them without making any further moves.

Chen Er looked at Lü Lingqi. Lü Lingqi was definitely more familiar with the Warrior Tower than he was. After all, she was already a warrior, while he hadn't even passed the warrior trial.

However, since Chen Er has said such a thing, he is naturally confident that he can do it!

At the moment of life and death, for some reason, looking at Lü Lingqi's proud face, Chen Er suddenly smiled.

"What if I could topple a Samurai Tower?"

"If you can topple a warrior tower, I'll give you Diao Chan without a problem!" Lu Lingqi said directly to Chen Er without thinking.

Upon hearing these words, Chen Er's hand, which was placed in front of his chest, trembled slightly. Then, he lowered his hand.

"Then let's forget about it." Even in a life-or-death situation, Chen Er still had the mood to joke.

"I knew you were bragging!" Lü Lingqi snorted coldly, then looked around as if she had suddenly made up her mind, and looked at Chen Er and Zhang Liao, saying:

"Hey, you two, if you dare to tell anyone what happened today, I will definitely not let you off the hook!"

Zhang Liao and Chen Er were confused, but they knew they had seen what was about to happen.

Lu Lingqi bit her lip tightly, and then, as if with immense courage, slowly unbuttoned her battle robe.
