The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

"Unless it's a specific day and the Samurai Tower notifies the General, who will then send people to help the Samurai Tower maintain order. Otherwise, no one will ever set foot here! This place has been a forbidden zone since ancient times!"

At this moment, Chen Er asked, "Lü Lingqi, how do you know so much about this place?"

Seeing that Zhang Liao didn't believe her, Lü Lingqi angrily added, "I was raised as a boy since I was little, so it's normal for me to be familiar with this city."

Upon hearing this, Chen Er remained silent and walked directly towards the door.

He exerted force with both hands; years of training combined with the mutations brought about by his transmigration had given him extremely terrifying power, but the bronze gate remained unmoved.

He looked behind him, and at that moment, Zhang Liao also realized something was wrong and ran over to help him push the door open.

The two of them exerted all their strength, their faces flushed, but the bronze gate seemed to have taken root and remained unmoved.

"Don't bother anymore. Even if you two were to gather all the generals of Xiapi, you still wouldn't be able to push this bronze door open."

Before anyone knew it, Lü Lingqi had also come over. Looking at the two of them's whimsical efforts, her voice trembled uncontrollably.

Chen Er was the first to lower his hand, and Zhang Liao, after trying for a moment, also gave up.

As it turns out, Lü Lingqi was right.

The three of them returned to the passageway. The eerie blue flames made their faces look like those of demons.

They were all trapped here. Although they didn't know who did it, that person's purpose was definitely not just to trap them.

At this point, if one still hasn't realized the seriousness of the situation, then they are truly as stupid as a pig. Chen Er looked at Lü Lingqi and recounted everything that had happened to him.

"You said it was the Zhang family's steward who brought you here? Didn't he prepare warrior tokens for you?"

Zhang Liao and Chen Er both shook their heads.

"No, that's impossible! Even if we can't give you the real warrior's token, with Prefect Zhang's abilities, getting a shadow token shouldn't be a problem." Lü Lingqi shook her head and firmly rejected the idea.

"What is the Shadow Token?" Chen Er asked.

"It has the same effect as the Warrior's Token, but can only be used once. It was specially prepared by the people of the Warrior's Tower for those undergoing the Warrior Trials," Lu Lingqi explained.

Chen Er remained silent, but Zhang Liao, as if suddenly remembering something, spoke up:

"Are we overthinking things? This is, after all, the Samurai Tower. Can't we ask the people of the Samurai Tower for help? Besides, so far, nothing terrible seems to have happened."

Lü Lingqi gave Zhang Liao a deep look, then shook her head:

"It seems you really know nothing about the Warrior Tower."

"Hmm?" Chen Er looked at Lü Lingqi.

“I’ve been to the Samurai Tower many times, but every time it feels like a dream. Every time I visit the Samurai Tower, I can’t remember anything I did the day before. Even if people around me remind me that I’ve been to the Samurai Tower, it still takes me a long time to remember that I was there. All I can remember is that I was there and my experiences inside the Samurai Tower are like a dream, with images flashing by from time to time, but I can’t piece together a complete memory.”

Zhang Liao stared at Lü Lingqi in disbelief. Chen Er was stunned, and then cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Damn it, isn't this the body's reaction after hypnosis? Hypnosis exists in this day and age?

As a supporter of the army, Chen Er also made mistakes. He had rescued captured teammates and witnessed much torture in the process. Unconsciously, the most terrifying memories in Chen Er's heart were stirred up. He couldn't help but scream out loud.

His shout startled Zhang Liao and Lü Lingqi. They stared at him, bewildered, while Chen Er, after the shout, seemed to clear his head considerably.

He shook his head:

"It's nothing. I just thought that things probably went wrong at some point."

"There?" Zhang Liao and Lü Lingqi reached an agreement at this moment.

"Third Uncle," Chen Er explained, looking at Zhang Liao and Lü Lingqi.

"Your uncle couldn't possibly have failed to prepare a Shadow Token for us, yet we didn't see it. This means he gave the Shadow Token to our third uncle, who came with us. But our third uncle never mentioned it to us. And have you ever thought about why we two, who had never been to the Warrior's Tower before, weren't surprised at all when we arrived here? You know, this is the Warrior's Tower; it's already unbelievable that no one is here. But we overlooked this issue."

Zhang Liao had already figured something out, and his face turned somewhat pale.

"It was Uncle Three. Uncle Three didn't show any surprise, as if it was perfectly normal that there were no patrolling soldiers here. Seeing Uncle Three like this, we subconsciously assumed that it was normal for there to be no soldiers around the Warrior Tower, ignoring the inconsistencies. If I'm not mistaken, someone had arranged all of this beforehand!"

"But what is their purpose in doing this? What's the difference between us coming in by pushing the door open and coming in by using the shadow token?" Zhang Liao asked, puzzled.

“Those with invitations are guests; those who barge in without invitations are thieves. What do you think the master would do to a thief?” Chen Er sighed and looked into the depths of the passageway.

There, at some unknown time, a group of shadowy figures resembling humans appeared.

It turned out to be assassins. From the depths of the passageway, a grand yet eerie sound suddenly rang out. Some people were crying, some were whispering, like ancient ancestors performing a sacrifice, or like countless gods roaring.

As if given a command, the "death squad" all looked towards Chen Er and his two companions.

The sleeping spirits of the dead are awakened at this moment, and the overwhelming resentment is released at this moment.

Almost instantly, Chen Er and his companions were surrounded by boundless shadows. Each of the three of them felt as if they were facing countless others.

At that moment, Chen Er felt his heart skip a beat.

He looked at the shadow standing not far from him, which seemed to be swallowing even the firelight.
