National Games: Zhongli at the beginning, the sense of security is full

When they flew closer and took a closer look, everyone who was expecting to see the tester was silent and sluggish.

They stared blankly at the surrounded center.

The familiar giant lion was lying lazily on one side, letting out a low roar from time to time.

If you listen carefully, you will hear that its roar seems to be mixed with a little irritability and exhaustion.

And the place it was looking at was exactly where the white smoke was emitting.

Several creatures smaller than giant lions were gathered together, just...

"A-are you having a barbecue?"

Paimon stared blankly at the scene in front of him.

These creatures are relatively large among the creatures on the entire layer. They are struggling to lift a large piece of meat with their claws or hooves, as if they are trying to roast the meat over a fire.

I don’t know how they ignite it, what stepping points they use to ignite the flames, and I don’t know if the meat in their hands is sourced locally.

Their claws held the piece of meat and lifted it in the air. Although it was difficult, they did not seem to be afraid of the flames. They actually hung above the burning flames and only cared about roasting the meat in their hands.

"That's where the burnt meat comes from." Derek quickly confirmed.

Everyone is flying in the sky, and it is impossible for their figures not to be discovered.

While they were observing all this, their figures were also seen by the lion.

The head was raised, red eyes staring at several people.

"Roar."

"It said, do you want to taste the food it directed to make." Liam translated skillfully.

"Huh? Was it really giving commands just now?" Paimon opened his eyes wide.

Shocked, she politely expressed her rejection to the giant lion.

"No, no, I'm not hungry right now."

She waved her hands repeatedly, thinking, does this kind of roasted meat really taste good?

The giant lion couldn't see what Paimon was thinking. It shook its head and roared again.

"It feels very sorry that there are not enough materials to make it look like what we did..." While translating the giant lion's language, Liam gradually showed an expression of astonishment, realizing the doubts contained in the lion's words.

"Is that lion on the upper floor also you?"

Liam asked.

The lion nodded: "Roar."

"Every level is it." This time it was Derek's translator.

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly fell into deep thought.

"Could it be that we are trapped in a cycle?" Eliezer asked confused.

"We won't be able to get out of the first floor, right?" Paimon looked at Jiang Yuan, "Is it an illusion?"

Jiang Yuan, who had some knowledge of illusion abilities, felt it carefully. He shook his head helplessly under Paimon's expectant eyes: "I didn't feel anything."

He focused the purification energy on his eyes and made a new discovery.

"What did you see?" Pamon saw the surprise on his face.

"Their bodies," Jiang Yuan raised his hand, scanning all the surrounding creatures with his fingertips, "are composed of energy."

This kind of purifying energy in his body is generally not used, and he has used it more often when he encountered demonic energy before.

Now that he has arrived in the new world, there is currently no trace of demonic energy, so he basically can't remember it.

If he hadn't made new discoveries from the giant lion's words, he might not have thought of this until he left here.

"Doesn't that mean that the meat we eat is not real, but is made of energy?"

Paimon was shocked.

The first thing she thought of was not beyond Jiang Yuan's expectation.

Because he discovered that the creatures here were composed of energy, the first thing that came to his mind was that it was no wonder they were not completely killed in a specific location.

Then I wondered why the creatures this time could be killed except at specific combat locations before leaving each level.

Then, just like Paimon, they wondered whether the meat native to this place they had tasted was considered real meat.

Turning around, he saw that his other companions were either thoughtful or frowning, wondering if they were thinking about the same question as him.

"Hurry up and take out the supplies in your backpack and take a look," Paimon was worried. "They won't turn into energy and dissipate, right?"

I don’t know if it’s useful for energy. Meat as food is definitely very useful for filling your stomach.

"Let me see."

Jiang Yuan threw his consciousness into his backpack and found that the meat stored in the Tower of Trial was safe and sound.

Since the backpack is a magical prop that does not appear in reality, Jiang Yuan cannot see the specific status of the items in the backpack with the naked eye.

He took out a piece of meat from his backpack and held it up in front of his eyes. He used the purification energy he had gathered to magically possess eyes that could see through many things and took a closer look.

"It's amazing, they're real meat."

To confirm, he also took out a piece of ingredients that he had collected elsewhere earlier. Comparing the two, there was basically no difference.

"If I must say it," he held up the beast meat collected in the Trial Tower, "this piece contains a small amount of energy."

"So, when we eat meat, do we put energy into our bodies?" Koldin frowned.

"Roar." The giant lion who listened to their muttering for a while joined the conversation.

"The energy in their bodies will not affect the testers." Liam explained the content of its words, "Wait!"

Everyone suddenly focused their attention on the giant lion.

"You know we are testers?"

The giant lion lying on the ground finally stood up, slowly shook its long hair, and leisurely replied: "Roar."

"of course."

"Roar."

"No other creature here knows that it is special."

"Roar."

"It seems that we discovered the truth, and for the sake of letting it taste delicious food -"

"Roar."

"We have passed this level?"

A lion roar followed by a young man's voice, and what the lion wanted to say was accurately conveyed to everyone's ears.

As soon as he finished speaking, white light emerged from everyone's bodies, symbolizing that they would be teleported away.

"Huh? Isn't this a little too casual?" There was a lot of information, and the surprise on Eliza's face never faded away.

But there was no time to ask any more questions. This time the transmission came faster than before.

Eliezer only had time to ask a question, and was sent away with his companions without receiving a reply.

……

The white light dissipated, and everyone who was familiar with teleportation opened their eyes and saw a familiar scene.

The ethereal voice had no emotion, as if it had been programmed long ago to send information about this place to the ears.

[Congratulations to all the trialists who passed the level with excellent results and were sent to the tenth floor by a tower spirit. 】

[In view of the strong strength of all the trialists, the trial on this level is more difficult, so please handle it with caution. 】

They originally reached the fifth floor, but now they directly crossed the fourth floor and were sent to the tenth floor.

Then, in the newly obtained information, the "tower spirit" must be the giant lion who had a conversation with them.

"A tower spirit, look at the content of this statement, there is more than one tower spirit in the Tower of Trial!"
