"Is this the Purification Tower?"

  When Li Luo and the three of them arrived at the depths of the withered forest without any obstacles, they saw a white tower appearing in their line of sight. One meter outside the white tower, the ground was covered with withered leaves, and a faint black fog flowed.

  Within a meter, however, it is clean and tidy, and any dark fog cannot get close.

  It is clear that even if the Purification Tower is currently in an unactivated state, it still possesses some special abilities, which makes those alien creatures born from the withered forest dare not to approach or damage it.

  Li Luo and the other two curiously walked closer, the Purification Tower was about five or six meters high, its overall appearance seemed to be cast from jade stone, but if one looked carefully, it seemed to be made of some kind of wood material, with ring-like wood grain patterns on its surface.

  The old flavor is emitted from above.

  It's obvious that the material of this Purification Tower is also from the Synergy Trees within the Academy.

  Li Luo gently pushed open the door of the Purification Tower, and then carefully walked in. However, what made the three people somewhat surprised was that the inside of the tower was not dark, but instead had a faint fluorescent glow emanating from it, which immediately calmed the mood of those who entered.

  Inside the tower is relatively simple, without any extra decorations. Only in the central position of the tower, there is a small stone platform. Standing on the platform and looking up, you can see that there are faint light patterns flashing on the wall of the tower.

  "Let's get started."

  Li Luo gazed for a moment before taking out a jade bottle, inside which was the purified dust that could activate the symbols within the Purification Tower.

  He carefully placed the jade bottle on the recessed surface of the central stone pedestal.

  Buzz!

  The next moment, the stone platform seemed to have a faint glow, and the jade bottle shook violently. Suddenly, a stream of light shot out from it, like stardust, flashing with strange lights.

  Stardust fluttered inside the tower, and the mysterious patterns on the wall were also gradually brightening, absorbing these stardust lights.

  As these purification runes absorbed the power of stardust, the purification tower suddenly emitted a faint vibration, and then at the top of the tower, a wave of purification light swept out.

  The black fog that permeated this withered forest suddenly became violently turbulent as the light wave swept through.

  It was as if cold water had been poured into a hot oil pan.

  Hehe!

  In the withered forest, a piercing whistling sound rose, apparently, some of the remaining aliens were also affected.

  The Purification Tower is activated, and waves of purification light burst forth, beginning to purge the evil forces in this area.

  On the hillside outside the withered forest.

  Jiang Qing'e, Qiu Bai, and Tian Tian gazed at the white tower that had begun to emit purification rays, their expressions all slightly changing.

  "It's finally starting to activate the Purification Tower." Qiu Bai smiled and said.

  "The heterotypes in this withered forest have been cleaned up by them, and it's time to activate... but that heterotype, I'm afraid it's not something they can handle?" Tian Xun's gaze looked towards a certain place in the withered forest. At this moment, they were on high ground, and with their own strength being quite good, they could naturally sense that there was an evil heterotype existing in a certain place in the withered forest.

  "That unusual creature was originally only at the third stripe of the birthmark, but after devouring the flesh and blood of an alien species, it should now be at the fourth stripe level. In the future, once it fully digests the flesh and blood of the alien species, who knows, it might even have a chance to advance to the Red Stripe level."

  The strength of the fourth stripe is far beyond Li Luo and the others. If they were to clash, Li Luo's side would likely pay a heavy price.

  "Captain, don't we need to take action?" Tian Tian asked with a smile.

  Jiang Qing'e's eyes flickered slightly as she said, "Wait a little longer."

  Tian Tian opened her big eyes and said: "You won't still want to wait for Li Luo and the others to deal with that alien themselves, will you?"

  Jiang Qing'e's golden eyes gazed at the withered forest, her gaze seeming to pierce through the faint black fog, locking onto the area of the Purification Tower.

  "Let's see first."

  Although it would be easy for them to take care of the outcasts here, this was not the result she wanted, because that would have no benefit for Li Luo's growth.

  She doesn't mind giving Li Luo the greatest protection, but she doesn't want her protection to limit Li Luo's own potential.

  Deep in the withered forest.

  Li Luo and the other two saw that the activation had been initiated, so they didn't stay in the tower any longer. They quickly exited the Purification Tower, their eyes fixed intently on a certain direction.

  In this withered forest, all the other white-skinned creatures have been eliminated by them. The only one that still poses a threat is the skin creature that swallowed the flesh creature earlier...

  It's no longer accurate to say that it's a human skin aberrant, as after absorbing the flesh aberrant, that aberrant has already begun showing signs of evolving towards the Crimson Scourge level.

  "Captain, will that alien come over?" Bai Mengmeng asked somewhat nervously.

  Li Luo hesitated for a moment and said, "Regardless of whether it will come or not, we have already made preparations. Whether it is effective or not, we can only try to find out."

  "And besides, there's no need to worry too much. Even if we can't handle it at that time, aren't there still reinforcements?" Li Luo comforted with a smile.

  Bai Mengmeng also smiled lightly, and the so-called reinforcements were naturally referring to Jiang Xue and her team. However, she could also see that Jiang Xue was testing Li Luo, and if they still needed Jiang Xue to save the day in the end, wouldn't that mean they were unqualified?

  She, a girl, didn't care much about so-called dignity and face, but she could still feel it. Neither Li Luo nor Xin Fu, although they had different personalities, actually had an air of pride deep down inside.

  So, even if they really did encounter a desperate situation, the two of them would probably choose to go all out and clash with each other first.

  For example, at present.

  Bai Mengmeng raised her pretty face, gazing at the distant surging black fog, and hoped that the preparations made by the captain earlier would have some effect.

  Boom!

  Just as Bai Mengmeng's thoughts were turning, a fierce and evil force suddenly surged up in a certain direction of the withered forest, accompanied by an ear-piercing shrill whistle that came from afar.

  Right after that, Li Luo and the other two people all had a slight change in their facial expressions as they sensed it. A surge of evil intent fluctuated like a violent gust of wind, stirring up black smoke within the withered forest, then rapidly swept towards the direction where they were standing at full speed, causing the ground to slightly tremble.

  As expected, that human-skinned monster has arrived!

  Evil thoughts surged like black smoke, and in just a few short minutes, they had traversed the withered forest and rapidly approached the location of the Purification Tower.

  In the black smoke, only a fearful creature was seen moving rapidly forward. The head of this strange creature was about several meters long, with a huge body, it lay on the ground like a scorpion, with eight blood-red hands protruding out, each time it moved, it left deep handprints on the ground.

  On its face, where the nose and mouth should be, there were no nostrils or lips, only a pair of greyish-white human eyes that rolled around ceaselessly, emitting an aura of malice and madness.

  Its gaze, through the withered tree forest rapidly retreating in front of it, gradually saw that purification tower which made it extremely disgusted, and at the same time, it also saw those three human silhouettes located in front of the tower.

  Its body surged with a sudden increase in evil intent, filled with chaos, slaughter and distortion.

  Fresh flesh, eat them up!
