The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

After retrieving the Chongming Bird back into her "General Star" (a magical artifact), Lü Lingqi breathed a sigh of relief. However, just then, she suddenly sensed someone scrutinizing her from behind. She quickly pulled up her battle robe and turned to look behind her.

Then I saw Chen Er's astonished face.

"You bastard! You son of a bitch! I saved your lives, and you dare to peek at me!" Lu Lingqi was furious. She grabbed something from her hand and threw it at Chen Er.

Chen Er easily dodged it. Looking at Lü Lingqi's furious, almost spitting fire gaze, he suddenly spoke:

"Compared to this, I think it's more important for Miss to be concerned about how we can escape from the Abyss Dragon's attack!"

Lu Lingqi was stunned for a moment before realizing that she was on the verge of life and death. She no longer had the mood to argue with Chen Er and stood up warily, looking at the "red ropes" that were constantly moving in the air around her.

Chen Er also stood up. He helped Zhang Liao up and leaned him against a tall candlestick before slowly walking to Lü Lingqi's side.

Lu Lingqi's face was full of confusion, as if she couldn't understand what was going on. Chen Er looked at her like this and suddenly felt very strange.

She seemed puzzled by the "safety" before her, but wasn't it she who had just told Chen Er and Zhang Liao to jump onto the tunnel? Could it be that she wasn't sure of her judgment at the time and was just saying it casually?

“They seem to be unable to see us…” Chen Er thought for a moment and then told Lü Lingqi his judgment.

"Do you need to remind me! If they could see us, we would already be dragged down into the abyss like those suicide soldiers, becoming food for the abyss dragons!" Lü Lingqi said to Chen Er, annoyed, but then added uncertainly:

"But why? Why didn't the Abyss Dragon attack us when we were in the tunnel?"

"Aren't you sure we're safe just because we're in the tunnel?" Chen Er gasped upon hearing her words.

"Nonsense, if the tunnel were safe, those assassins wouldn't have disappeared without a trace." Lü Lingqi breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the red ropes slowly fall into the abyss, but still looked at Chen Er with annoyance.

Chen Er frowned. Actually, he did have a few guesses, but they were all too far-fetched.

He had never seen a monster like the "Abyss Dragon" before, and he couldn't analyze it based on the habits of the terrifying animals he had encountered during missions in the rainforest.

"Then why did you make us jump onto the tunnel?" After confirming that it was temporarily safe, Chen Er couldn't help but ask another question.

Lü Lingqi turned around and looked at Chen Er with displeasure:

"Didn't you see? Only on the ground can I safely retrieve the Chongming Bird into my general star?"

In that situation, when a person was about to die, how could she still have this thought? Chen Er thought it was unlikely.

The only explanation is that even though she didn't know the passageway was safe, she still regarded it as her only hope.

Only in this way can everything be explained. Chen Er carefully recalled the changes in Lü Lingqi's expression from the moment she discovered "Yuanlong" until just now.

First came despair, then struggle, then tension, and then confusion.

Chen Er was momentarily shaken in his judgment. He looked at Lü Lingqi, about to speak and ask something, when Zhang Liao woke up.

Chen Er stopped dwelling on the matter and went to Zhang Liao's side. Seeing Zhang Liao's puzzled expression, he recounted what had happened after Zhang Liao fell unconscious.

"Yuanlong, just like that, you retreated?" Zhang Liao shook his head and struggled to his feet.

He wasn't seriously injured; he just felt the impact when he landed and immediately lost consciousness.

Not only Chen Er, but even Zhang Liao found it unbelievable. Anyone who had witnessed the abyss dragon's earth-shattering power would find it hard to believe that it had retreated so easily.

"It seems my good fortune has infected you all. Otherwise..." Lu Lingqi was interrupted before she could finish speaking.

"Luck? Talking about luck in front of the ancient king of beasts, Miss Ding, don't you find yourself ridiculous? If it weren't for the three guardians of my Warrior Tower joining forces to activate the Heroic Spirit Array and force the Abyss Dragon back, do you think you could have survived, Miss Ding?"

This statement could not have been made by Chen Er, nor by Zhang Liao.

Chen Er and Zhang Liao followed the sound and looked into the depths of the passageway. On the other side of the altar, a person shrouded in a white robe slowly walked towards them.

Chen Er recognized this person. She was the mysterious girl riding a white fox who had appeared in Mayi with Lü Bu years ago.

She was indeed from the Warrior's Tower, and her status was probably quite high. Chen Er looked at her and made this judgment in his mind.

Zhang Liao was somewhat puzzled, but Chen Er patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down.

From the woman's words, it wasn't hard to tell that she knew Lü Lingqi. Thinking of this, Chen Er suddenly understood the intense hostility Lü Lingqi had shown him when they first met.

A small, thin figure slowly walked out into the darkness. The eerie blue firelight illuminated the passageway, but could not reveal her face.

A huge white fox followed closely behind her.

Lu Lingqi had kept quiet ever since this person appeared, but now, seeing her walk up to her, all her anger finally erupted.

"Are all the people in the Warrior Tower so shameless? And don't tell me that these two idiots and I breaking into this place have nothing to do with you! Does the Warrior Tower want to wage war against us?"

The word "we" clearly does not include Zhang Liao and Chen Er, but refers to other people.

After its owner stopped, the white fox lay down lazily, its red pupils as dazzling as jewels in the darkness.

Zhang Liao and Chen Er looked at the two women and the huge fox not far away. At this moment, they felt so insignificant.

"We, the Warrior Tower, will give you an explanation for this matter. No one could have predicted that something like this would happen," the person shrouded in white robes said softly, parting their lips slightly.

Her voice was very soft and gentle.
