From the moment you step on the threshold, the pressure exerted by the tower appears.
Different from the "urging" when I walked according to the traditional process with an invitation last time, this time it was a double torment for the body and soul.
Li Chaiyuan felt pain, but when he thought that he would have to climb the stairs next, this rejection would last for a long time, and the pain subsided a lot all of a sudden.
Anyway, you have to adapt, so it's better to shorten the adaptation process.
After all, for Li Chaiyuan, the most difficult thing for him to accept was that the human skin was torn off, and as for the others, it was difficult to reach this threshold.
The first floor is still the same first floor, and the story on the mural continues to be presented, from the goddess military liberation, the establishment of the academy, and the collective ascension, Li Chaiyuan swept them all over again before stepping up the stairs.
His eyes lingered on one of the murals for a moment, and there was a picture of a "Man of Destiny" and a person in the tower superimposed on each other, ringing the Ascension Bell.
Li Chaiyuan went up to the second floor.
The dead who were sitting quietly in front of the table were all shaking their bodies from side to side at the moment.
As he passed between them, Li Chaiyuan noticed the resentment brewing between their eyebrows.
Even in the tower that was suppressed by the rules, resentment began to grow, and the large number of black shadows in the jade in the first two levels would only become more serious.
Even if Li Chaiyuan had already predicted this in advance, and had re-examined this secret place and this tower from a new perspective, this kind of close-up witness was still unavoidable.
The true purpose of this wave gradually emerged in the young man's heart, and along with it, the truth about this tower emerged.
……
Tan Wenbin took out a cigarette from his pocket and held it in his mouth.
Zhao Yi stretched out his hand, pulled out the cigarette, and bit it in his mouth.
Tan Wenbin was not annoyed by this, so he took out another one from the cigarette box and held it in his mouth, and by the way, he used a waterproof lighter to light the cigarette for Zhao Yi first, and said with a smile:
"Are you sure you still have the strength to spit out the smoke ring?"
"Underestimate people, don't you, who said this cigarette must be spit out of the mouth?"
Zhao Yi took a deep breath of smoke, swallowed it, and then the smoke ring overflowed from the small broken heart on his chest.
"Hahaha!"
Tan Wenbin laughed out loud.
He has been learning to smoke since high school, and the students at that time thought that smoking was a cool thing, so they tossed and invented various strange ways to spit out cigarette rings, but Zhao Yi should be the first, because it cannot be imitated.
Zhao Yi pointed to the tower door on the ground floor with his hand holding the cigarette, which was the location where Li Chaiyuan disappeared before entering:
"He also told me that he has no relatives here, have you seen it, these relatives have blatantly opened the back door for him!"
Tan Wenbin: "Brother Xiaoyuan just shook the book in his hand......"
Zhao Yi shook his head: "It's nothing more than the procedural justice commonly used by related households, perfunctory to the point of directly issuing blank documents, and not even bothering to print one."
Of course, Master Zhao knew that Li Chaiyuan was able to get in because of the wordless book, but what he needed now was not the truth, but the catharsis of his jealousy.
Tan Wenbin smoked silently and didn't try to explain anymore, because the person who slandered you knew better than you that you were slandered.
Although his heart was sour, Zhao Yi still did not forget to observe the battle situation ahead.
The entry of the surname Li into the tower will inevitably lead to a chain reaction in the battle situation ahead.
If nothing else, at least my wish to command this team to play a game has come true, which can be regarded as a small comfort.
If the person surnamed Li really nodded and agreed to cooperate with those two people before, then his command of the team from beginning to end would only be the sentence: "Everyone, pay attention and listen to my command."
Zhen Shaoan and Xu Zhenrong looked at each other continuously, knowing each other's concerns.
They are a very realistic type of person who knows when they can fight inwardly and when they must be consistent with the outside world.
There were two of them, and the two of them had joined forces to deal with Yu Miaomiao before and did not divide their troops because neither of them was willing to let the other eat alone.
Now, the one who eats alone has already entered, and it is meaningless for the two of them to continue to be wary of each other.
Zhen Shaoan arranged a formation in front of him, and Xu Zhenrong arranged the puppets on both sides of his body.
After doing this, the two turned around and retreated like a race.
Even if they have some of the rule authority, it will take time to melt the jade barrier, and Yu Miaomiao will not allow it, but the hole opened by Yu Zangsheng when he came down before is still there, which can lead to the upper floor, and there is also a tower door to enter.
Previously, the two tried to go around and go up, but were stopped by Yu Miaomiao at a faster speed, and this time, they decided to act separately.
Xu Zhenrong originally thought that his speed could be faster than Zhen Shaoan, but the truth was that the wonders of the formation master were always unpredictable.
Zhen Shaoan came to the entrance of the cave first, his figure upward.
Seeing this, Xu Zhenrong did not follow with him like last time, but stayed below.
Next, it depends on Yu Miaomiao to choose one of the two, this time the chosen person will not deliberately release water, but will delay and cover.
In this way, each of the two of them has a 50% chance of entering the tower, if they continue to stalemate and delay, they may eat up all the people who went in first, and both of them will only have zero left.
Yu Miaomiao chose to go up and chase Zhen Shaoan.
Zhen Shaoan sighed, feeling bitter in his heart, but he could only arrange a formation to block Yu Miaomiao.
This is not a willingness to gamble and lose, but if he breaks the contract, there will be no tacit understanding in the future, but if he can delay Xu Zhenrong entering the tower, then Yu Miaomiao is likely to turn around and chase into the tower, so that she can still have the possibility of entering the tower.
Xu Zhenrong breathed a sigh of relief, no longer hesitated, and ran straight to the tower door on this floor.
Even if the boy went in, she was sure that the boy would not be easy in the tower, maybe he was still crawling in pain on the first floor, and he could catch up with him with the authority.
However, some things could never go as she wished.
As soon as she rushed to the tower gate, once again, a figure fell and stopped at the door.
It's just that this time it was not Yu Miaomiao who was in charge of intercepting, but Runsheng holding the Yellow River shovel.
Runsheng, whose valves kept opening, was rolling all over his body, creating a powerful presence.
The face that had been destroyed under Xu Zhenrong's mask was entangled in flesh and blood.
Being able to rush here from the corner so quickly and successfully intercept himself means that the other party has already set out in place as soon as he and Zhen Shaoan have decided on a plan to retreat.
Even, maybe even earlier, when the boy first entered the tower gate, the other party had already made an interception plan.
Xu Zhenrong controlled his masked puppet to attack Runsheng, and Runsheng waved the Yellow River shovel out of the afterimage, shoveling the masked man one by one.
The puppet phantom that lacked corpse materials and was pinched out of thin air really couldn't withstand Runsheng's attack.
Of course, this is not Xu Zhenrong's full strength now, the strength of the means she is showing now is much weaker than when she joined forces with Zhen Shaoan to deal with Yu Miaomiao before.
Because there were still other people, just standing in the distance, although they had not made a move, they were ready to shoot.
Sometimes, not taking action is the best containment.
The teacher who was injured and left the classroom was still scary, but not so scary.
Zhao Yi was attached to Lin Shuyou, resting his head on Ayou's shoulder.
The cigarette butts in his mouth flickered and darkened, and his heart kept spitting out smoke rings.
Xu Zhenrong: "Zhao family boy, what are you doing?"
Zhao Yi: "I don't want to do this, but who asked their boss to go in, I can't even if I don't want to block the door at this time."
Xu Zhenrong: "Do you think you can stop me?"
Zhao Yi: "It doesn't matter if I can stop you or not, I just want to drag you to the end together, I'm really not scaring you, these guys are really willing to die for the chance of their boss."
When he said this, Zhao Yi was envious in his heart, so he stretched out his hand and pointed at Yin Meng, who was standing diagonally in front of him.
Yin Meng was holding a string of poison cans in her hand, which were 80% empty jars for bluffing.
Because since coming to Lijiang, her stored poison has been consumed and has not been able to find an opportunity to replenish the toxin.
However, Xu Zhenrong didn't know about this, she only knew that the girl's poison was so complex that even she couldn't deduce it.
Therefore, among these people, she was most afraid of this girl, because the guy in the other party's hands could really poison her current self.
But she was unwilling to give up such a good opportunity, her arms were spread out, her palms were sunken, pus was flowing down, and on both sides of her body, two puppets with red and one black color were poured.
Zhao Yi shouted: "Be careful, she is serious!"
Melee martial arts practitioners are very real, and even if they are injured or weak, they will intuitively express their combat power, while those who take other doorways, even if they are injured, can still squeeze out some oil and water and reproduce their powerful combat power.
The kid surnamed Li is a typical example of this.
After the two puppets appeared, the red ones rushed towards Runsheng.
Runsheng slapped it again with a shovel from the Yellow River, and smashed his head with a shovel, which was so easy that Runsheng felt a little surprised, and subconsciously thought that the puppet that had been so painstakingly puppeted would not be so careless.
This is indeed the case, the smashed puppet did not dissipate, but became a existence similar to rice cakes, stuck to the Yellow River shovel, and quickly ran up along the shovel body, attaching it to Runsheng's hand.
This thing has no lethal power, its effect is just clingy, and it also has a strong strength.
Runsheng pulled hard, constantly tearing it apart, while it was constantly re-condensing.
Zhao Yi's chest had a dry convulsion, and finally a wisp of thick black blood overflowed, like coughing up phlegm after smoking.
He pushed away Lin Shuyou, who was supporting him, said hello to Tan Wenbin again, and finally, waved to Yin Meng.
This woman is good at deduction, but she suddenly discovered Runsheng's weakness.
Tan Wenbin and Lin Shuyou left and right, attacking Xu Zhenrong.
Both of them made a posture of going out and fighting, and a ghost fighting technique opened a vertical pupil.
Not to mention anything else, at least this momentum was brought up all at once.
Xu Zhenrong didn't stay where she was waiting to fight the two, and the black puppet beside her bumped into her, engulfed her, and pounced on Runsheng at a very fast speed.
Before he could clean up the red rice cakes on Runsheng's body, he added another ball of black rice cakes, and under his constant pulling, clumps of rice cakes spread along his body and back to his back.
A hand reached out and began to operate the permission to enter the tower.
Zhao Yi: "Runsheng, run here!"
Runsheng rushed out and left the tower gate.
This move was intended to take away the rice cakes on his body, but the rice cakes that were originally stuck to him quickly fell off at this time.
But just when Xu Zhenrong's body was about to come out of the rice cake, and the permission to enter the tower door would also be opened and completed, I only heard the Zhao family boy shouting behind him:
"Runsheng, haven't you had enough to eat?"
Immediately, a powerful suction force came, and Xu Zhenrong was only a few breaths away from entering the tower door, but he was forcibly pulled back.
When he looked back, he realized that Runsheng was stuffing the remaining rice cakes into his mouth and swallowing them hard.
Xu Zhenrong didn't expect that his restraint puppet technique would have such a way to crack it.
Her gaze fell viciously on Zhao Yi who was standing there.
Zhao Yi smiled slightly, his body was still shaking slightly, thinking that next time he went out to walk the river, he had to order a crutch first, well, he would also make one for Lao Tiantou.
The red and black rice cakes completely fell off Runsheng's body, gathered together again, and Xu Zhenrong's figure walked out of it.
She found that Tan Wenbin and Lin Shuyou, who were very imposing before, still only have momentum.
Xu Zhenrong: "Bluffing!"
Zhao Yi: "Each other."
There are different ways of playing in the life-and-death battle and the defensive battle, Zhao Yi is just helping the surname Li block the door, and he does not have a life-and-death feud with this Xu Zhenrong, so naturally he comes leisurely.
Xu Zhenrong smiled, and his hands quickly pinched and flipped.
Zhao Yi looked shocked: "How dare you!"
Xu Zhenrong: "I dare anything to get in!"
In the distance, the old Taoist priest who had been broken by Yu Miaomiao's previous sword appeared with clumps of black mist on his body.
This is the standard Nuo opera puppet technique, and she plans to use it as raw material to pinch a powerful puppet.
But this old Taoist priest already has a lot of wonders, plus he was controlled by the person on the top floor of the tower, who pinched him into a puppet, and after standing up, it was really hard to say who was controlled.
Xu Zhenrong is indeed as she said, she doesn't care anymore.
The more time he was delayed outside, the more the boy inside could climb a few more steps even if he climbed.
It is better to take a huge risk and make a big one first and completely mess up the water here!
However, the old Taoist's broken corpse, as soon as it was covered with black energy, a yin and cute figure appeared beside him, holding a jar in his hand, pulling out the cork and pouring the liquid inside.
Tan Wenbin once vigorously praised the "toner" made by Yin Meng.
It is said that this is a great companion for traveling and destroying corpses.
This is also the most stable toxin in Yinmeng currently has control.
"Wow, ......."
After the corpse water was poured, if the water was poured into the boiling oil pot, the black mist began to collapse, and the corpse began to twitch, and various colorful bubbles appeared.
Anyway, this corpse material could no longer be used to pinch the puppet.
Zhao Yi rubbed his face with his hand, erased the shocked expression, and tugged at the corner of his mouth, putting on a schadenfreude smile:
"When you just joined forces with Zhen Shaoan to deal with Yu Miaomiao, I noticed that you were paying attention to this corpse several times."
Simply playing with his mind, except for the one surnamed Li, he Zhao Yi really wouldn't be afraid of anyone anymore.
"Oh, by the way, don't you need raw materials, there are still them nearby, why don't you try it again?"
There is also a material on the upper floor, which is the body of Yu Miaomiao who was dismembered.
The material value of the corpse fragment is low, but it is not impossible to make do, but in that layer, Zhen Shaoan is fighting with Yu Miaomiao.
Xu Zhenrong knew that once she tried to refine Yu Miaomiao's body during her lifetime, she would definitely report her temper according to the cat's eyes, and she was afraid that she would not hesitate to let go of everything and come down to find herself desperately.
Zhen Shaoan's voice came from above:
"Xu Zhenrong, I didn't break the contract, it's your turn!"
The flesh under Xu Zhenrong's mask wrinkled even tighter.
She no longer hesitated and pinched her hands.
Upstairs, wisps of black mist began to appear on Yu Miaomiao's body.
"Yu Miaomiao", who was originally teasing and playing with Zhen Shaoan, seemed to notice something.
But before Yu Miaomiao could react first, Zhao Yi also began to pinch the seal, and the crack between the door of life and death on his forehead wriggled rapidly.
He also learned a little bit of this puppet technique.
Sensing the interference from Zhao Yi, Xu Zhenrong let out a disdainful voice: "You have only learned a little bit of skin!"
Zhao Yi didn't take it seriously: "I just copied books in class, and the guy who really learned it is not here."
After realizing that his magic was ineffective, Zhao Yi immediately shouted: "Runsheng, interrupt her! Tan Wenbin and Lin Shuyou, stop her!"
Runsheng rushed towards Xu Zhenrong with a shovel from the Yellow River, but the black and red puppet beside Xu Zhenrong attacked again, and once again stuck to Runsheng.
Tan Wenbin began to call out to his godsons to do it, and two resentful babies appeared on Tan Wenbin's shoulders, raised their heads, and began to clap their hands and sing nursery rhymes.
The rich ghost energy rushed upwards, intercepting Xu Zhenrong's spellcasting process midway.
Lin Shuyou got up, although his body was still weak, but the white crane boy was still very gentle and face-saving.
And after it came, he also took the initiative to urge: "Hurry up, insert the needle quickly!"
This body is weak and is no longer suitable for showing the strength of this boy.
Lin Shuyou did not insert a needle.
The boy immediately realized that the current situation was not a fight.
Soon, the boy raised his trident, circled in place, and walked out of the rhythm of the pace of the wandering god, and the yin god's energy rippled, involving and disrupting the invisible technique.
Upstairs, on Yu Miaomiao's shattered body, the black gas just came out and disappeared, and then came out and disappeared.
Even if Xu Zhenrong didn't hold back, she still failed to successfully molest Yu Miaomiao's body, not to mention the anger that attracted Yu Miaomiao now to create opportunities for Zhen Shaoan.
Inside the tower.
Li Chaiyuan's speed of going upstairs was much faster than Xu Zhenrong expected, after all, he was not the kind of fool who couldn't bear pain.
The higher you go, the fewer and fewer people on each floor, but the feeling of the earthquake is getting stronger and stronger.
This is not surprising, the more powerful the existence during life, the stronger the resistance after the rules are weakened, the stronger it will naturally be.
The boy came to the eleventh floor, where there were originally three big guys, but now there is only one left.
The crane-haired and childlike scholar was still lying on the couch, still in the same reading posture, but he was originally reading a wordless book, and now he is reading a bookless book.
Now, a very real problem arises.
How should I get to this twelfth floor?
He had been here before, but there were no stairs on the eleventh floor.
Li Chaiyuan did not have the authority of Yu Zangsheng and the others, and only had an excuse to return the book.
After careful observation, Li Chaiyuan found that there were gaps in the bed, floor, and walls, and these gaps were still growing.
The scholar didn't shake his body like those downstairs, he shook the entire eleventh floor.
The boy raised his head and looked at the ceiling, where cracks also appeared on the originally exquisite carved wall, and a faint but completely different atmosphere from the eleventh floor below was overflowing from this.
It seems that the passage to the top floor is here.
It's just that the damage is not strong enough, and the crack is not big enough, so it needs to be shaken more violently.
Without the permission key, you can only unlock the lock violently.
Li Zhuyuan walked up to the scholar and took the wordless book to him.
The young man pretended to stuff the wordless book back into the scholar's hand, but stopped moving, took the book back in front of him, and turned the pages at random with his fingertips, making a crisp sound.
"I originally thought how special it was to bring a book with me to be buried after death, but I didn't expect it to be such a simple book.
I can't understand it when I was alive, and I have to pretend to continue to read it after death.
As soon as the words fell, the entire eleventh floor began to shake even more violently!
Li Chaiyuan's figure also swayed left and right, and he had to hold on to the edge of the bed with his hands to barely maintain his balance.
In the end, only a "boom" was heard, and a part of the ceiling collapsed.
The ladder leading to the twelfth floor has fallen!
Li Zhuyuan took the book, grabbed the handrail of the stairs, overcame the violent shaking, and walked up step by step.
When I looked back halfway through, I found that the resentment and hostility between the scholar's eyebrows were so thick that they almost dripped with water.
Coming to the top floor, it was like coming to a new pattern, and the strong earthquake below disappeared all of a sudden.
Li Zhuiyuan saw the majestic and simple bell, which was densely packed with obscure runes, and only the last stroke was left to achieve perfection.
The boy also saw the faceless man lying under the big bell.
He seemed to be dead.
The young man, who already had a new guess about the purpose of the tower's existence, looked at this faceless man and said something expressionlessly.
After these words fell, the faceless man who was lying motionless on the ground actually twitched up, as if he was so angry that he was deceived into a corpse.
Just because what the boy said was:
"You are so pitiful."
