Zhou Tong had many designs. The piano strings came from all directions, entangling the Hou in all directions. The strength of the Hou's entire body was distributed to each piano string.
Zhou Tong didn't even know how many piano strings had been wrapped around Hou's body. In any case, Zhou Tong had thrown out all of his throwing objects in this wave of attacks.
The Hou's strength became weaker and weaker, and finally, it completely stopped moving.
Although he had won this battle, Zhou Tong knew the gap between him and the apex predator.
If this Hou had launched an attack the moment it saw Zhou Tong, Zhou Tong probably wouldn't even have been able to escape. It would have been able to kill Zhou Tong in an instant.
Hou ah, a Hou fighting three dragons was no joke. Zhou Tong had been able to win the final victory at such a small price because he had taken advantage of Hou's carelessness.
Just as Zhou Tong was about to go check on the situation, the Taotie Tattoo Body on his body seemed to sense something.
It detached itself from Zhou Tong's body and followed the wound Zhou Tong had caused to burrow into the Hou's head, then took out a bead covered in cracks.
The pearl contained an extremely huge amount of life force. The moment the pearl left the Hou's body, the incomparably huge Hou was like a deflated ball.
The Taotie held the round bead that was covered in cracks in its mouth as it burrowed into Zhou Tong's mouth. The Six Treasury Immortal Thief automatically operated, and an incomparably powerful life force filled Zhou Tong's limbs and bones.
Zhou Tong's attribute panel seemed to take a few seconds as it began to soar. Every second, it increased his lifespan by ten years, and every second, it increased his vitality by one point.
Zhou Tong guessed that the round bead covered in patterns should be the Hou's entire life essence. It was unknown how long the Hou had lived, but Zhou Tong had actually benefited from it.

In three whole hours, Zhou Tong had completely digested the Hou's life essence, giving him a total of 1000 years of lifespan and 138 years of lifespan.
The changes also included his own Qi, which had increased by three times. The tree rooted in Zhou Tong's dantian had also grown taller, and the number of fruits had reached twenty.
"The profits this time are really terrifying. However, I have roughly figured out the function of the Qi Source.”
The number of fruits on the tree in his dantian increased with the increase of his power. On average, every ten years, the tree would bear a fruit.
Zhou Tong pulled the animal skin from the piano wire and rubbed it with his hand. Shaking his head, he said,
"What a pity. His teeth and bones weren't left behind. They were all absorbed into his life essence.”
"But I finally have a decent treasure. Now, I have a storage bag.”
The Qi on Zhou Tong's body instantly wrapped around his entire skin, and as if it had been dehydrated, it slowly shrank.
During the process of shrinking, countless symbols condensed from qi fused into the Hou's skin.
"At this rate, if we wrap it with qi, it will be completely formed in about three days.”
This was the strength of the Hundred Refined Divine Armaments. Heaven and Earth were the furnace, and Qi was the fire. Originally, a magic tool would take decades or even longer to be successfully refined.
Through the Hundred Refinements of Divine Armament, it would only take a few days to take shape. Moreover, with the long-term nourishment of Qi, its attributes would become even stronger.
Zhou Tong estimated that if he successfully refined this magic tool, he would obtain a storage bag that was three meters wide and five meters long.
Later on, if Zhou Tong wanted to expand the storage pouch, he only needed to add some of these scaled and armored animal skins to continue upgrading it.
"Looks like behind this pile of rubble should be that door. This job is really not easy!”
There was no danger along the way, and Zhou Tong successfully reached the destination recorded on the map.
However, it had already collapsed. Looking at the traces around it, it should have been caused by explosives.
Zhou Tong transformed the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella into the shape of a greatsword, attached it to his Qi, and quickly cleared out the obstacles in this mine cave.
In an hour, Zhou Tong had cleared all the rubble. The next path was not a mine, but a tunnel supported by a mortise and tenon structure.
This was a normal operation in their line of work. On one hand, they reinforced the tunnel to prevent it from collapsing, and on the other hand, they could use it to prevent it.
If they encountered any danger, they could use the edges and corners left behind by the mortise and tenon structure to leave this place as quickly as possible.
After passing through the tomb passage, Zhou Tong saw the end of the tomb, which was Zhou Tong's destination.
This was a cave, and what greeted his eyes was an incomparably huge bronze door. According to his visual estimation, the bronze door was about fifteen meters tall.
On the platform in front of the bronze door were scattered corpses that had long turned into white bones.
"Those who enter this door must give up all hope. It seems that this is the secret of the entire mine. I wonder if I can push it forward.”
Zhou Tong arrived in front of the bronze door and pressed both hands on the two doors. He exerted all his strength and pushed with all his might, almost causing Zhou Tong to fall over.
The two bronze doors opened in response. Zhou Tong looked at the already opened doors and smiled bitterly.
"That's right. It's not like we're lifting the bronze door. How could we make such a low-level mistake?”
He picked up the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella and the beast skin and followed the path behind the bronze door to the tomb.
"This should be the tunnel in the original novel. I wonder if my Lightning Listening Technique will work.”
"Let's leave a mark before entering. Three days. According to Master and the others, they should be at the lava land by now. Let's leave three days!”
"Six days inside and outside should be enough time, but I don't know if there are enough bullets.”
After leaving a mark, Zhou Tong looked at the remaining eight bullets in his pistol and walked into the tunnel.
The tunnel was arranged according to the Eight Trigrams and divided into eight directions. Each direction corresponded to a tunnel.
Pulling out his pistol, he closed his eyes and fired a shot upwards. Zhou Tong quickly simulated the route the sound feedback would take in his mind.
An enormous model appeared in Zhou Tong's mind, but the echoes produced by the sound hitting the wall became more and more chaotic.
There were sixty-four passages within the sixty-four turning points.
His memory palace instantly collapsed. Based on Zhou Tong's current sensitivity to sound, he simply couldn't distinguish such a complex message.
"I knew that things wouldn't be that simple. I don't have enough memory and hearing.”
" There are only seven bullets left. The margin of error is too low. However, with the completion of the Memory Palace and the Lightning Detection Acupuncture Point, it won't be of any use here. System, use your life to add points to the Memory Palace and the Lightning Detection Acupuncture Point.”
Ding! Memory Palace leveled up. Lightning Detection Acupoint leveled up.
Zhou Tong's eyes went black, and he instantly entered the learning space.

I'm here to thank all the big shots for asking for a wave of flowers and evaluation votes.
