Before I Died, I Forcibly Kissed The Heroine

Chapter 327: Ancient Bell Fragment, Trial of the Third Level!

Only to see on the wall, apart from the continuous murals, there was also a irregular-shaped recession.

Su Shi thought for a moment and took out a dark fragment. This was a piece of an ancient bell fragment obtained from Yu Hongyin. It had fallen from the Ancient Bell.

Pressing the fragment into the shape, it fit perfectly, almost merging seamlessly with the wall.

Dong.

A bell sound came from the void.

The ground trembled, and a half-human-height stone pillar slowly rose from the middle of the square.

On top of the stone pillar, a fragment lay quietly. It was completely black, as if cast from profound iron.

At the same time, the ancient bell in Su Shi’s dantian began to tremble continuously.

“It’s here!” Su Shi’s eyes flickered.

This was clearly another fragment!

It seemed his perception was correct; the Locking Demon Tower was indeed related to the Ancient Bell! Without Wang Que’s “key” or Yu Hongyin’s fragment, he wouldn’t have been able to discover the secrets here.

“It seems pursuing leads to an increase in luck?” Su Shi stepped forward, reaching out to grab the fragment.

Suddenly, the stone pillar emitted a radiance, enveloping the fragment, and directly bounced his hand away.

Su Shi frowned slightly. Silver sword light emanated from his fingertips, attempting to penetrate the barrier forcefully.

But it was still repelled, and the rebound force was even stronger. Su Shi unwilling to give in, ignited golden divine fire, surging like a fiery dragon.

Flames splattered, almost scorching the air.

Su Shi took half a step back, the rebound force completely returned, making his face turn slightly pale.

The barrier remained unmoved.

Su Shi’s frown deepened.

“Can I only look and not touch?” ”

Or is my method of taking it wrong?”

At this point, he noticed the murals on the wall, recalling his experiences from the first two levels.

At this moment, the murals on the wall emitted a glow, and white mist filled the air. Shadows swept through the dense mist, and low roars could be heard in his ears.

Su Shi swung his sleeves, causing a gust of wind to temporarily disperse the demonic aura.

“Oh, it’s an old friend.”

Suddenly, he understood.

“So, this isn’t just given for free. It’s the reward for the third level’s trial?”

In front of him stood several ferocious demons, each with an eerie appearance, like a pile of countless bodies pieced together into a grotesque and extremely hideous figure. Just looking at them was enough to disgust anyone.

Both in appearance and aura, they were identical to the boss of the second level.

While there was only one “boss” like that in the second floor, in the third floor, there were more than a dozen of them, and as the murals’ radiance flickered, their numbers continued to increase.

The difficulty increase wasn’t slight at all.

“Roar!”

“Roar, roar, roar!”

Deafening roars echoed one after another.

Looking at their greedy and ferocious eyes, Su Shi shook his head slightly, “Wasting time.”

His spiritual power was almost inexhaustible, and simply increasing the quantity held no meaning for him.

It was just a bit of a time waste. “Die…”

As a demon uttered a syllable, the monsters lunged forward with their teeth and claws.

The ground shook violently, and their gaping mouths seemed like bottomless abysses, emitting a foul stench that was suffocating.

There were a few demons standing in the distance, their eyes glowing red, as if brewing some sort of mystical technique.

“The division of labor is quite clear.”

Su Shi commented.

Beneath his feet, flames ignited with him at the center, and golden fire soared into the sky, engulfing all nearby demons.

“Ah, ah, ah!”

The miserable cries were unending. They tried to extinguish the flames with their demonic aura, but the scorching starfire was like a bone-deep ulcer, continuously devouring their flesh and blood. Soon, their bodies were almost completely incinerated.

At this moment, a few demons in the distance opened their large mouths, spewing forth a large amount of black mist, which floated in the air like dark clouds.

As the black mist spewed, their forms shrunk by a circle, and a sinister grin appeared on their faces.

Mouth!

The black mist emitted a piercing screech, forming a spiral in the air, whistling as it swept toward Su Shi.

Su Shi pressed his thumb against his middle finger, and with a snap, a cluster of golden flames shot out, lightning-fast, into the black mist.

However, the usually unstoppable divine fire unexpectedly didn’t dissipate the black mist this time; instead, it burned for a moment and then weakened.

“Hmm?”

Su Shi’s brows furrowed, and he focused his gaze. He saw that the black mist wasn’t composed of gas, but rather countless single-eyed, fanged insects. Each one was only the size of a grain of rice, but when gathered together, they formed a horrifying black storm.

They seemed to be communicating with each other telepathically, moving in a coordinated manner. The fireflies tainted by the divine fire would voluntarily move away, turning into ashes on their own, effectively preventing the spread of the divine fire.

“Quite interesting, seems like a new trick?”

A sharp whistle sounded from afar.

The black mist transformed into skeletal shapes, and a terrifyingly large mouth opened, instantly swallowing Su Shi within.

The smiles on the faces of the distant demons grew even more triumphant.

These insects were born from hatred and malice, devoid of fear and pain. Their only thought was “to eat.” The flesh of any living being was their food.

As long as they eat enough, they can reproduce rapidly, and within just half a day, countless flying insects can turn into a vast black cloud!

“Feast… hehe…”

The demon grinned widely, drool dripping from the corners of its mouth.

However, the smile quickly froze on its face.

Suddenly, a glint of gold flashed within the black storm. The previously-devoured Su Shi stood intact at the same spot. Flames burned around him, reducing the attacking insects to ashes.

The insects, unafraid of death, continued to rush towards him like moths to a flame, trying to extinguish the fire with their bodies.

But the scorching starfire remained unwavering, unmoved even by the storm’s sweeping force. The air was filled with the strong scent of burning.

After consuming a large number of companions, the swarm finally realized their efforts were in vain.

They ceased their attacks, encircling Su Shi in a huddle, seemingly waiting for the flames to die out.

As long as the tiniest gap appeared, they would swarm in and devour the delicious meal before them.

Su Shi raised an eyebrow.

This swarm of insects had already developed a collective consciousness, akin to countless flies sharing a single mind, otherwise their coordinated actions would be impossible.

“If allowed to develop freely in the outside world, I’m afraid the vast lands would all turn into a realm of ghosts, wouldn’t they?”

These creatures had almost no natural predators.

If they couldn’t be completely eradicated, it wouldn’t take long for them to regroup.

“Enough, let’s finish this quickly.”

“Since the transformation of the divine fire, I haven’t really gone all out.”

Su Shi spread his arms as if embracing something.

The flames entwined around him suddenly contracted.

Buzz!

The swarm instantly grew restless, eager to devour Su Shi.

The next second, the air seemed to freeze.

Behind Su Shi, golden wings unfurled, covering the sky. Each feather was infused with boundless flames!

As his eyes opened, his pupils had turned into pure gold.

“Perish.”
