"My deepest apologies to both of you. We rushed out and startled you. I am the mayor of Crow Ridge Village. I apologize on behalf of everyone for our abruptness."
"You are too kind, Mayor. I understand that everyone is anxious in search of their loved ones."
"It seems, young friend, that you arrived knowing sothing about our Crow Ridge Village. May I ask, what kind of world lies beyond this crack world? Why have none of the people we sent in ever returned? Did you see any living people inside?"
"Mayor, please don’t worry. Let answer your questions one at a ti."
"Forgive my abruptness. Please enlighten us, young friend."
"The world beyond this crack is a special testing space left behind by an Ancient Great God.
Once soone enters it by passing through the crack, they face a test of intelligence.
There are several challenging puzzles. If any are answered incorrectly, the person is directly sent into a punitive tower known as the Demon Tower."
"I can’t believe such a thing exists. Are the tests truly so harsh, requiring both exceptional intelligence and strength? Even the experts we’ve sent didn’t survive?"
"It’s not that the tests are overly harsh. It’s just that the testing space has existed for a very long ti, leading to issues. As I ntioned earlier, the top of the Demon Tower has cracked. This caused a powerful leakage of Demon Monster Energy, which nourished all the demons at the bottom of the tower, greatly enhancing their strength. So even broke through the weaker seals at the bottom and escaped, leading to the monsters you encountered escaping through the crack."
"So those monsters co from the Demon Tower. While they were strong, they weren’t that formidable initially, but the later groups were indeed more powerful."
"This relates to the structure of the Demon Tower. As you descend each tier, the demons’ strength and the sealing power on each floor are significantly weaker. These demons at the bottom were not strong to begin with, so the seal applied was weak. A slight boost in their power allowed them to escape.
Even though these demons have their strength enhanced by demonic energy, they were initially only ant for minor punishnts during the penal stage.
As a result of their premature escape, the later failures were all sent to the higher levels for punishnt, leading to no survivors from the Demon Tower’s tests, as the higher-level demons were already formidable, and with the enhancent, they beca invincible."
After Chen Mo’s explanation, the crowd finally understood what had transpired in the crack world and what fate befell those who entered.
Everyone lanted even more, except for the mayor, who maintained his politeness: "Thank you, young friend. Without your insights today, I believe most of us would have been plagued by these questions and unable to sleep well at night!"
"It’s a small effort, and since I was entrusted by Faye to investigate this matter, it naturally falls upon to share the findings with you."
Upon hearing this, those who had t Chen Mo before recalled that he ntioned being entrusted when he entered the crack world.
"Even so, please accept our token of gratitude." The mayor, unconcerned with who sent Chen Mo, simply wished to express his thanks. As he spoke, he handed a mysterious blueprint to Chen Mo.
