Chapter 448: Whispers
The goat fell to the ground with a plop, attracting the attention of the other monsters.
“What’s wrong with me?”
Only then did Simmons come back to his senses. During the whispers just now, Simmons felt as if he had lost consciousness for a second. This had caused the strength of his hand to fail to keep up, and the goat fell back to the ground again.
“This is not your fault. I felt the same just now.”
Apollo held his forehead. It was only now that he came back to his senses, and his expression was somewhat unsightly.
“It should be the administrator.”
Apollo recalled that when the administrator told them that the reason they could not ascend was because of Bulanda being in the team, they had heard the chaotic whispers.
“D*mn it, the administrator didn’t want us to pick up this goat!”
Sharena came to her senses. Usually, the administrators’ interference to their trial-takers could only be done in the dark, not on the table.
And now, just as they were about to pick up the goat, a whisper that could destroy a person’s consciousness appeared. This meant that the administrator did not want them to pick up the goat.
“This goat must be very important!”
After Sharena realized this, she almost roared out.
Bearing the risk of being punished by the Endless Tower, the administrator still wanted to interfere with their actions. There was no better evidence that could explain the importance of the goat!
“Quick, pull it up again!” Apollo also roared.
“I’m doing it!”
Simmons suddenly grabbed the rope. At the same time, he stood up and lifted the rope up.
However, at this moment, the monsters who had never been interested in the goat seemed to have received an order. They were only stunned for a moment before they rushed to the goat’s carcass!
The monsters who had been conserving their strength and enduring hunger and thirst were now like crazy, tearing the goat’s carcass.
“Inject divine power!”
Following the rope that was connected to the goat, the three of them unreservedly covered the goat’s surface with their divine power, hoping to use it to block the monster’s attack.
Although they could guarantee that the goat would not be torn apart in a short period of time, the monsters were still clinging to the goat’s body.
At this moment, there were dozens of monsters hanging on the rope, just like a giant hornet’s nest!
Simmons was gradually unable to withstand such a huge force, and Apollo was bombarding them with divine power while shouting for others to come up and help.
If there were enough people, it meant that they would have more divine power to attach to the goat, which could protect the completeness of the goat’s carcass to the maximum.
But at this moment, a jackal suddenly jumped up.
It jumped very high, almost not a height that a canid could reach. If one had to say it, its posture was very similar to that of a kangaroo.
Then, the jackal aimed at the rope and fiercely waved its claws. That was the most vulnerable part.
With a snap, the sound of something breaking was heard.
The rope that was covered with Simmons’s divine power was cut off by the jackal’s one swing.
The hornet’s nest fell to the ground. The monsters were scattered by the impact, revealing the broken body of the goat.
“Now!”
Seeing this, Apollo felt as if he had shot a compressed small sun. The small sun immediately exploded after it landed on the ground, blasting the monsters away.
At this moment, the broken body of the goat was lying on the ground alone.
But the rope was already broken. There was no time to lower the second rope.
And the monsters that had recovered from the explosion were about to surround it again!
“Monkey! I need you!”
Sharena suddenly roared. Then, a shadow appeared on the back of her hand, and then formed a black monkey.
This was one of Sharena’s twelve pets. It had long slender limbs and was the best climbing pet.
“Monkey! Quickly go and pick up the carcass below!”
Sherena gave an order to the monkey.
However, the monkey looked at her and hesitated for a moment.
When the monkey realized that there was a group of monsters that stretched as far as the eye could see, its fur all stood on end. It roared and wanted to go down from the tower. It did not even dare to look at this scene.
“Monkey! Come back!”
Sharena’s order had no effect at all.
Previously, she had laid her cards on the table. As a necromancer, she was one of the few people who didn’t strip the souls of her summoned creatures.
In other words, her summoned creatures couldn’t completely obey her commands.
This had something to do with Sharena’s selfishness She had never been willing to be a necromancer who could only summon puppets.
And these summoned creatures were once her pets.
However, the lives of humans were indeed longer than that of most animals. Moreover, Sharena had later became the owner of the god-king system.
This had led to the pets that she kept leaving her one by one.
Out of selfishness, Sharena turned these pets into her summoned creatures, which could be considered having eternal life.
She also deliberately skipped the part of stripping the souls of the summoned creatures, because she only wanted these pets to stay by her side, and not have an army of puppets.
“Monkey…”
Shereina called out to the monkey for the last time, trembling, but the monkey still ignored her.
When she adopted the monkey as a pet, she had long heard people say that monkeys were not suitable for pets.
This kind of animal was almost a collection of the dark side of human beings. It had very high intelligence, but its loyalty to its owner was very questionable. It was almost a huge safety hazard.
However, Sharena did not listen. Even until the monkey died of old age, she had been very good to it.
Now was the most critical moment. If those monsters surrounded the goat’s carcass again, then the Sky Dynasty would forever lose this precious opportunity.
Now that the rope was broken and the Great Wall was so high, the only way was to let the monkey go down and retrieve the goat’s carcass.
However, at this critical moment, the monkey was actually frightened.
It acted according to its instincts. After seeing so many terrifying monsters below, it chose to run away instead of following its master’s orders.
“All of you, get down!”
Sharena roared angrily. Ten shadows emerged from her body. They were all the remaining 10 pets.
This time, to prevent the pets from escaping, Sharena directly summoned them outside the Great Wall.
These pets did not have any combat ability.
Their only function was to act as meat shields or bait to stop the monsters.
This would buy a few seconds, enough time for Sharena to strip the monkey’s soul.
She bit her finger, and blood oozed out.
Then, she put her finger on the back of her hand, hesitated for a moment, and pressed down hard.
