In the end, Zhao Fu and his group reached the innermost region and found traces of a large battle. There were some broken corpses; it seemed that the boss monster here had been killed, and the danger zone had been conquered.
Zhao Fu sighed, not knowing who had done this. However, it was most likely someone near the top of the rankings, or else they would not have been able to do this by themselves.
Now, he could only search for ruins and see if he could gain anything there.
The tenth, ninth, and eighth levels were the first stage; the seventh, sixth, and fifth were the second stage. The danger from one stage to the next increased greatly, which was why the stone stele had stopped many people from descending to the seventh level from the eighth level.
As the end of the second stage, it would be quite difficult to pass from the fifth level to the fourth level.
In order to pass to the fourth level, one had to pass the Gatekeepers' test.
