Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan finally understood why he had found so many ravenous wolves in this high tower.
It was estimated that before, this place wasn't just home to hungry wolves, but also other creatures. However, the wolves' teamwork was superior.
Their strong coordination within this small area allowed them to easily conquer the entire tower.
"Currently, although our Atlantis nation possesses advanced technological civilization, as you can see, we live underwater. Therefore, our construction capabilities are limited. You are from the human world, so you should be able to provide equipment to help us."
"If you can help us solve the troubles within this trial tower, we will let you go."
Jiang Fan felt somewhat helpless upon hearing this, as the design displayed indicated that he had only passed through a segment of the tower.
There were still countless disconnected levels ahead. To completely traverse them would likely require immense effort.
Furthermore, no one could be certain if Jiang Fan could successfully escape from here.
"I can try to solve the problem within this section by myself, as I have already killed all the ravenous wolves in this segment."
"If you allow me to continue, I believe I can also help you solve this problem."
The leader of Atlantis found this hard to believe.
They had dispatched countless soldiers to exterminate these ravenous wolves, only to have them all slaughtered by the wolves due to their sheer numbers.
To eliminate all of them would require at least tens of thousands of soldiers.
"Are you trying to fool me? You alone killed all those ravenous wolves? Don't joke with me."
The leader of Atlantis seemed unconvinced that Jiang Fan could resolve all the wolves in this segment. Jiang Fan then explained what he had encountered in the tower, which finally convinced the leader.
However, the leader of Atlantis looked at Jiang Fan and found no trace of the burn marks he had spoken of.
When Jiang Fan followed the leader's gaze to his own body, he discovered that the marks were not burns, but abrasions.
"What's going on? I distinctly remember being burned in many places by flames, but why are these marks gone now?"
Jiang Fan was extremely perplexed. He clearly recalled his body being severely burned, looking less than human, yet now, aside from some bloody abrasions, there were no burn marks whatsoever.
However, he couldn't be bothered with it now. Solving the current issue was the most important thing.
"Don't worry, no matter what, I will help you clear all the problems within this trial tower."
"You just wait for my news."
Upon hearing this, the leader of Atlantis was astonished and asked Jiang Fan.
"Are you planning to enter the trial tower alone? I advise you to bring your companions. The dangers within are incredibly perilous. If you go alone, you might not be able to complete the mission."
Jiang Fan waved his hand without hesitation.
"No need. It's too dangerous in there, and I fear my companions might encounter danger if they enter. Compared to the trial tower, I trust you more. As long as you guarantee the safety of my companions, I will go in and help you solve the problem."
"Even if I fail, I will offer my life to this trial tower."
"In other words, if I cannot complete the task you've given me, I will not come out alive, even if I die inside."
The leader of Atlantis found Jiang Fan's words utterly perplexing.
To think there was someone in this world who cherished friendship so deeply, refusing help from his companions for fear of them getting hurt.
During his time in Atlantis, the leader had been preoccupied with the fear of Atlantis being discovered by the outside world, focusing all his attention on construction matters.
Over time, the merfolk of Atlantis had forgotten their most basic humanity.
Seeing Jiang Fan's demeanor instantly reminded him of his own days as a human.
"Such spirit! I greatly admire you. In that case, I will send my subordinates to accompany you."
"While their combat effectiveness might not match yours, their numbers can provide you with ample assistance within the trial tower."
Hearing the leader's words, Jiang Fan slowly shook his head.
"No, thank you. Compared to them, my companions and I cooperate much better. I'm unwilling to let my companions enter with me, so why would I bring your soldiers?"
Jiang Fan did not wish to have untrusted individuals accompany him on his exploration. It was better for him to enter the trial tower alone, which would give him more peace of mind. The leader of Atlantis largely understood Jiang Fan's intentions.
"Very well, since you are so persistent, I can only express my profound admiration."
"However, I hope you will keep your word, otherwise, your companions will not survive."
As the leader of Atlantis, he naturally set aside personal emotions.
The overall interests of Atlantis were paramount. Therefore, he did not hesitate to use this to leverage Jiang Fan.
Jiang Fan understood this well.
He nodded, then gathered his equipment and supplies before heading towards the trial tower.
However, the method of entering the trial tower was rather peculiar.
Jiang Fan initially assumed it would be some kind of passage, but it turned out to be merely entering a room.
Although the room was pitch black, Jiang Fan could clearly sense that it was not very deep.
He was also unsure how to proceed from this tunnel to the trial tower.
But as he walked into the room and stepped into the tunnel, he suddenly found himself within the trial tower.
