Looking at Klein's absent-minded eyes, Dick sighed and said nothing more.

Just as Sakartini said, even if he had the talent to resist the poison attack, he couldn't easily touch Klein's blood. Otherwise, it would be eroded by the poison.

"Well, it's useless to say anything else now. We have to climb up. Maybe we can find a way to remove the poison in your blood at the top of the tower. I don't dare to remove the poison in your body now."

Dick sighed and patted Klein on the shoulder.

Poisonous blood was flowing in his blood vessels, which might explode at any time. This blow was extremely heavy for Klein.

Klein stood up with Dick stiffly and smiled barely.

"You don't have to comfort me. Although we are enemies, I thank you for saving me. If my blood really will kill me, please don't let me suffer too much pain."

Klein seemed to be more mature all of a sudden, and the arrogance on his face was gone.

"At that time, I will take action even without your permission. But now, we still have to find a task that can let you reach the third floor, and we have to hurry up. There is only half an hour left for me to activate the teleportation right."

Dick glanced at the decadent Klein.

"Ah...Actually, I don't know what happened. My task has been completed. When I entered the second floor, I seemed to fall to the bottom of the well. I only heard the sound of crushing something, and then it reminded me that my task has been completed."

Now it was Dick's turn to be surprised. He had completed two tasks that required him to hunt down magical beasts. But Klein had only completed the task after crushing something inexplicably. The gap was too big.







But at the same time, Dick also thought of the possibility that what was crushed by Klein might be the blood of the spider king. After absorbing the blood of the spider king, Klein was inexplicably judged to complete the task.

"In that case, we don't have to waste time anymore. Now let's activate the teleportation right. If we can enter the third floor earlier, we can also reach the top as soon as possible."

Dick said to Klein quickly and activated his teleportation right. In order to prevent the two people from being separated again, he tightly grabbed Klein's arm this time.

After another dazzling white light, Dick and Klein appeared in a purple hall.

This hall was made up of many small altars, where stood a dark herbal pot. In the middle of the hall sat a white-haired woman in a robe engraved with strange patterns, as if she was covered with a magic veil.

On the small altar, there were already five or six people who frowned and thought hard. They stared at the burning herbal pot in front of them, throwing several medicinal herbs into it from time to time. But then they shook their heads and took out the medicinal herbs with a sigh.

"I didn't expect that there would be such a place in the tower of the holy land. Compared with this place, the places we have been before are as shabby as a dungeon."

Dick was very interested in this place. But the smell of burning herbs floating in the air made Dick uncomfortable.

From his perspective, the way these people refined the medicinal materials was simply a waste of natural resources. If he were to refine those precious medicinal materials, he would definitely be able to refine many high-quality pills.

But now all of them had been ruined, which really made his heartache.

"Hint: you have entered the third floor of the tower: the white-haired witch's alchemy workshop. Your task in this round is twice as difficult as that of others. This is a hidden task triggered after you killed the Halidom spider. In comparison, your contribution points will be increased by three times."

"This is a common task for you and Klein. The two of you only need to complete it once, and then you can pass the test and go to the fourth floor."

Dick and Klein heard the prompt sound at the same time. The white-haired witch, who was sitting in the center of the hall, slowly stood up and looked at them with a pair of starry eyes.





"Guests of the Halidom, congratulations on being here. Now please go to your altar, on which your tasks are placed. After completing the task, you can pass the trial of the witch and obtain a unique treasure."

Dick and Klein nodded and followed the witch's instructions to the sacrificial ceremony.

It was not until then that Dick found that there were only rotten bones left on the small altars around them, except those who were contemplating.

Without exception, these skeletons appeared in a kneeling posture. They had been trying to refine pills that met the requirements until they died.

"We're doomed! The task on this floor is to refine medicinal materials! And it's twice as difficult as ours! How can we finish it? Now I finally understand why those people died!"

Klein looked around and finally understood what the requirements of this test were. At this time, he also covered his head and wailed.

At this moment, the thin middle-aged man at the altar next to them turned his head and asked Dick and Klein.

"It turns out that newcomers are here again. Which year have you fought for the hegemony of the world? According to the time, I have been here for about 5000 years, right?"

His voice was like dry bark, making people feel goosebumps all over.

That's 5000 years! How could he, a human being, stay here for so long?

Noticing Dick's confusion, the middle-aged man showed a wrinkled smile and pointed at the herbal pot in front of him.

"Do you know why this medicine refining workshop is called 'the white-haired witch's alchemy workshop'? Because life is still here. You can stay in perception for a long time, but you can't die until you refine a qualified pill."

He laughed like a duck and pointed at the mummies on the next altar with his chin.

"Have you seen the guys over there? When I sat here, they were still alive. However, later their deaths were not because their lives were exhausted, but because their souls could no longer withstand this kind of torture! That was why they were about to perish!"

Dick and Klein couldn't help shuddering. It was the most frightening thing that one could even use up all of their souls on the altar!
