Chapter 1956: Chapter 1956
Understanding this, Su Yang was a bit speechless.
He originally thought these skeletal creatures were terrifying, but now it seems they're actually quite pitiful.
Just a group of species that seem like primitive life forms, surviving amidst this gloomy atmosphere.
Who knows how many years it took for such a hierarchy to emerge, with the existence of a Great City Lord and the like.
In this light, these skeletal creatures don't seem all that terrifying after all.
"Where is the Great City Lord?" Su Yang asked immediately. Since he knew these skeletal creatures weren't that horrifying, he was ready to start using deception.
The three skeletons exchanged glances, the leading skeleton's spiritual fluctuation said, "The Great City Lord resides in the City Lord Mansion."
"Take me to see it." Su Yang paused, "There are benefits for you!"
"No, no, the Great City Lord isn't someone you can just meet. Without the Great City Lord's command, no one can see the Great City Lord." The three skeletons shook their heads like rattles.
"Is that so?" Su Yang chuckled, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a black pill, casually tossing it to the leading skeleton.
The skeleton caught the pill, examining it curiously, unable to figure out what exactly it was.
However, there was an extremely alluring aura emanating from the pill, making it very eager to consume it.
"Try it." Su Yang encouraged with a smile.
The skeleton hesitated a bit, obviously distrusting Su Yang, but ultimately couldn't resist the pill's allure and stuffed it into its mouth.
Of course, this only showed that the skeleton was quite naive, distrustful of people yet not very wary.
The two skeletons beside it watched curiously, as the black pill turned into a puff of black mist upon entering its mouth, spreading instantly through the skeleton's entire body.
At that moment, every bone in the skeleton was nourished by the black mist.
The skeleton wore an expression of utter bliss, laying on the ground comfortably, the ghost fire in its eye sockets dancing incessantly.
The two skeletons beside it were full of envy, not knowing how it felt, but they could sense the skeleton's bones were strengthening.
Normally, when they cultivate, it takes at least a few months to achieve such an effect.
Now, in just a few minutes, to achieve such results, how could they not be envious?
The two skeletons looked at Su Yang longingly, hoping he would give them a pill too.
However, Su Yang didn't even glance their way.
This wasn't a pill at all, but rather Su Yang secretly used Devouring the World to absorb the gloomy atmosphere, condensing it into a pill.
The skeletons absorb the gloomy atmosphere very slowly. Su Yang's Devouring the World absorbs it at an unparalleled speed.
Although the pill was small, it contained a substantial amount of condensed gloomy atmosphere.
Once the skeleton swallowed the pill, the gloomy atmosphere began nourishing its bones, bringing it tremendous benefits!
Soon, the black mist disappeared from the skeleton's body, and it stood up from the ground, looking quite unsatisfied.
It looked at Su Yang with hope, wishing Su Yang would give it another one.
"Take me to see the Great City Lord, and I can continue to give you more." Su Yang said directly.
The skeleton hesitated, knowing that seeing the Great City Lord was no easy task. Even they weren't qualified to meet the Great City Lord.
"Take me to see the Great City Lord, offer these pills as tribute to the Great City Lord, and you'll be credited!" Su Yang said again.
The ghost fire in the skeleton's eyes immediately lit up, yes, if these pills were given to the Great City Lord, it would be a great achievement.
Previously, they got hold of a Space Artifact and immediately presented it to the Great City Lord, reaping great benefits.
Now, giving these magical pills to the Great City Lord would bring even more advantages.
The leading skeleton quickly jumped forward, nodding excitedly, simultaneously inquiring how many such pills Su Yang could give it.
"Ten!" Su Yang replied.
The skeleton was slightly displeased, glancing at the two skeletons beside it, implying each of them gets ten.
"Okay!" Su Yang agreed straightforwardly, for him, these pills were created using Devouring the World, costing him nothing. Ten, twenty, or thirty pills were just a matter of quantity, not a significant issue. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novel-fire.net
The three skeletons were overjoyed, immediately leading Su Yang out.
Following beside the three skeletons, Su Yang found more skeletons outside.
However, upon seeing the three skeletons, those did not dare to approach Su Yang at all.
This clearly showed that these three skeletons held a rather high status in this area.
Su Yang, staying beside the three skeletons, was quickly brought to the place they had previously taken the elevator.
Riding the elevator with the three skeletons, they pressed the button for the 103rd floor.
Su Yang observed that the elevator went up to the 108th floor.
The Great City Lord was probably not residing on the 103rd floor, but likely on the 108th floor.
This indicated that the three skeletons weren't directly qualified to meet the Great City Lord; they needed someone to report for them.
During the elevator ride, Su Yang took the opportunity to ask a few questions.
With the black pills as leverage, the three skeletons were extremely respectful to Su Yang, telling him everything they knew.
Through this process, Su Yang got a sense of the city's structure.
Just as he suspected, the main area of this city is underground.
Su Yang had been wrong before; the underground isn't made of separate buildings. Each floor of this city's underground is connected.
This means that the 17th floor of this building is connected with the 17th floor of every other building.
The above-ground buildings are merely outposts.
Based on the city's structure, the true city lies below ground, with the above-ground area resembling the basements of the Human World.
The Great City Lord is the overseer of this entire city.
The strength of this Great City Lord, as described by the three skeletons, is unfathomable, absolutely unfathomable.
Su Yang wasn't sure how unfathomable this Great City Lord was, but as long as their intelligence wasn't too high, Su Yang could deceive them.
Very soon, they reached the 103rd floor.
As Su Yang anticipated, the three skeletons indeed weren't qualified to meet the Great City Lord directly.
Here, they needed someone to report for them.
The 103rd floor was much more luxurious compared to the previous 17th floor.
Even the paths here were paved with crystals, extremely spacious, with gentle lighting illuminating everything clearly.
The three skeletons found the reporting skeleton, which Su Yang saw had considerable strength, estimated to be stronger than Lv Donglin currently in the Human World.
