This was a world like a sea of fire.
The ground was fiery red like magma, emitting faint red flames. The entire space seemed to be boiling, heatwaves stacked on top of each other and rushed into the sky. From time to time, vigorous roars could be heard from afar, pushing the heatwaves towards him.
Qin Yu looked around but did not see anyone.
What's going on?
Could it be that I've arrived at the world that those two spoke of?
No …
Wait a minute, could this be the Yazi Tribe's Refining Tower?
Staring at the fiery red ground, Qin Yu was even more certain that this should be the Refining Tower!
According to the red robed youth, after defeating him, he could skip the second round and directly enter the Refining Tower.
The wooden house that he built should have been destroyed by the terrifying Battle Ape, who directly threw him into the Refining Tower. If that was the case, then what about Chi Xiao, Chu Yuechan and the rest?
Did they also enter the Refining Tower?
If they did, then what about them?
The others might not be able to take care of him after entering the Refining Tower, but Chi Xiao would definitely not leave when he was unconscious. Therefore, there was only one possibility, after entering the Refining Tower, he should have been passed down to a certain location in the Refining Tower.
Qin Yu looked down and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was sitting on a huge bluestone. The bluestone was covered with dense lines. It seemed that the ancestral ape had directly thrown him into the Refining Tower. Fortunately, he didn't move around when he was unconscious. Otherwise, if he fell down, he would have been burned alive.
Just as Qin Yu was about to check on his injuries, his body suddenly jerked. He raised his head and looked behind him, only to see a tall and sturdy figure sitting cross-legged not far away. His body was bent, with his right hand on his bent knee, his back facing Qin Yu.
What made Qin Yu slightly surprised was that he did not see this person before, as if he had appeared out of thin air. What made Qin Yu wary was that this tall and sturdy figure was actually a Battle Ape!
This made Qin Yu think of the terrifying battle ape. He stared at the half-sitting battle ape with vigilance, carefully sizing it up.
This Battle Ape sat there like a mountain pagoda. Its clothes were extremely strange, its mane was bronze, but many parts had fallen off. Its back was facing Qin Yu, allowing Qin Yu to see the shocking scars on its back, as if it had been through hundreds of battles.
The thick arms that rested on his knees were like tree trunks, and the wide hands were like palm-leaf fans. The dragon-like muscles on his body were filled with endless power, and it was a strong visual impact.
What made Qin Yu even more fearful was the Battle Ape's neck. The Battle Ape's necklace, and the necklace was made from bones, and the necklace's, the necklace, which seemed to be a skull, of a head, it, it, it look, it was strange and it was.
When Qin Yu was sizing up the Battle Ape, the Battle Ape turned its head slightly. Then, a hoarse and deep voice rang out, "I'm wondering if you are that Wang Xing Chen."
Qin Yu's heart shrank, and he stared at the Battle Ape. He did not speak, but he was weighing his chances of winning against this strange Battle Ape. However, Qin Yu was surprised that he could not sense the Battle Ape's cultivation level. He could not even feel the fluctuation of Astral Essence from the Battle Ape's body, but its cultivation level was obviously at the peak of the Spiritual Infant Tier.
"I heard that a person called Wang Xing Chen defeated Yazi Tribe's Eleven. I wonder if it's you?" the Battle Ape continued to ask.
Eleven?
Was it that red-robed youth?
What was the Yazi Tribe?
Qin Yu pondered for a moment, and said, "Yes or no, what's the difference?"
"If it's yes, you can continue to live. If it's no, you have to die." The Battle Ape turned its head as it spoke, and its face was completely exposed to Qin Yu's line of sight.
This was a face that was riddled with holes. The skin and flesh on the face were twisted together, as if it had been drenched in lava. Although the face was terrifying, the eyes that were as large as bells emitted a strange light. They were deep, cold, and even loneliness and stubbornness could be seen in these eyes.
"You have an answer, don't you?" Qin Yu said calmly.
"I'll give you half a day to recover. After half a day, come with me to hunt!" the Battle Ape said slowly.
"Hunt?" Qin Yu asked in surprise.
"Hunt the Yazi Tribe!" the Battle Ape answered, its words carrying a murderous aura and resentment.
Qin Yu sized up the Battle Ape in surprise. Judging from the Battle Ape that guarded the red-robed youth, the Battle Ape Tribe should have an extremely good relationship with the Yazi Tribe. However, this Battle Ape was actually filled with resentment towards the Yazi Tribe?
It seemed as if there was a blood feud between them. After pondering for a moment, Qin Yu said, "Hunting the Yazi Tribe in the Refining Tower doesn't seem rational."
"Rational?
Do you think you have a way out?
The Yazi Thirteen Tribes have sent out all their youths. Do you think they will let you go if you don't hunt them? "the Battle Ape sneered.
"The Yazi Thirteen Tribes?
Sent out all their youths? "Qin Yu frowned slightly.
"The current Yazi Tribe is no longer a pure Yazi Tribe. Anyone who awakens the Yazi bloodline can be called a member of the Yazi Tribe.
I call them hybrids. "the Battle Ape said in disdain.
"In the Yazi Tribe, there are three rankings: the Heavenly Law Ranking, the Spiritual Movement Ranking and the Mortal Ranking. As for Eleven, he is ranked on the Mortal Ranking. The Yazi Tribe has always looked down on outsiders. This time, you defeated Eleven and caused quite a stir in the Yazi Tribe."
"Eleven is the grandson of the Yazi Tribe's Division Leader and has a noble status. Although the higher-ups of the Yazi Tribe will not attack you due to the Immemorial Contract, the youths of the Yazi Tribe can hunt you down once you enter the Refining Tower. Whether you can survive or not will depend on your strength."
"To kill me?
Sent out all their youths? "Qin Yu said with a solemn expression.
"Eleven is a member of the Yazi Tribe and the Yazi Tribe is the so-called head of the Thirteen Tribes. Eleven's defeat has caused the Yazi Tribe to lose face.
Therefore, the Yazi Tribe's Division Leader announced that the Yazi Thirteen Tribes will be able to obtain a drop of blood essence from the first Yazi Tribe Leader if they kill you. Although the blood essence of the first Yazi Tribe Leader is not as good as their ancestor's, if they can obtain it, their Yazi bloodline will be improved several times. "
"That drop of blood essence from the first Yazi Tribe Leader is something that even the experts of the Spiritual Movement Ranking would be tempted, let alone the youths."
Qin Yu's heart suddenly shrank. He did not expect that his victory against the red-robed youth would bring about such a big trouble.
"In the Yazi Tribe, only the experts of the Heavenly Law Ranking have a surname, while the experts of the Spiritual Movement Ranking have a 'name'. As for the youths, they are not qualified to have a name. Only those who have entered the Mortal Ranking can use the ranking as a temporary name. This time, those who have entered the Mortal Ranking and the youths of the Yazi Thirteen Tribes who do not even have a numerical name."
Zhan Yuan thought that Qin Yu did not understand what those numbers meant, so he explained for Qin Yu.
Qin Yu wasn't surprised by this. In the past, he had heard of such a saying. In some ancient clans, not everyone had the qualifications to have a name. Those who hadn't reached adulthood had a unified name, and each clan was different. The red-robed youth's name was Eleven, and he was ranked eleventh on the Mortal Ranking. Thus, his name was Eleven.
"I heard that almost all the people on the Mortal Ranking have come out this time, including the number one on the Mortal Ranking.
Therefore, you can only have a chance to live if you follow me! "Zhan Yuan looked straight at Qin Yu and said in a low voice.
"How many youths are there in the Yazi Thirteen Tribes?" Qin Yu asked in a deep voice.
"In the Yazi Thirteen Tribes, after the age of ten, you can enter the sacred grounds of each tribe and awaken your bloodline. Those who fail will be exiled to your training ground and this Refining Tower. Only those who succeed will have the qualifications to live. This time, there are about five thousand youths who have awakened their bloodline!" Zhan Yuan slowly said.
Qin Yu's pupils shrank. Five thousand people?
This was a ruthless extermination.
"Even if I can escape the pursuit of these five thousand people, can I leave this Refining Tower alive and return to Manjoo Zhanmu?" Qin Yu said in a low voice.
"As long as you can survive for a year in the Refining Tower, you will be absolutely safe. There is an Immemorial Contract that cannot be violated by the Yazi Tribe." Zhan Yuan said in a low voice.
Qin Yu's eyes narrowed slightly. Immemorial Contract?
Even though he didn't know exactly what the Primeval Contract was, he was certain that it was capable of restraining the Yazi Clan. However, he was bewildered. Why would the strength of the Yazi Thirteen Tribes care about the Primeval Contract?
And what did Manjoo Zhanmu have to restrain the Yazi Tribe?
It seemed that Manjoo Zhanmu must have some unknown secrets.
"Why are you helping me?"
Qin Yu suppressed his thoughts and stared at Zhan Yuan as he said slowly. There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and Zhan Yuan would not help him for no reason either.
"Firstly, I want a helper. Since you can defeat Eleven, you are strong enough to be my helper. Secondly, I want you to survive for a year and take me out of the Refining Tower." Zhan Yuan's eyes shone brightly as he said this.
"Take you out of the Refining Tower?
I can't even protect myself, how can I take you out? "Qin Yu said calmly.
"As long as you survive for a year, according to the Immemorial Contract, you can choose a Ferocious Beast from the Refining Tower to be your Life Contract Beast!"
Qin Yu's eyes flickered slightly as he looked directly at Zhan Yuan. He was extremely curious. What made Zhan Yuan hate the Yazi Tribe so much?
Why would he not hesitate to become a contract beast to leave this place?
"But I have a condition …" Zhan Yuan's strong body trembled slightly.
