No. 712 Space-time turbulence(1/2)
"Everyone gather here."
After driving on a mountain road for a while, the bus started going down.
After walking around for a while, the deep canyon disappeared from sight.
Finally, the buses parked neatly in a large open space.
A crowd gathered, discussing among themselves in hushed tones.
"Everyone, get ready to get off the bus."
Huo Yong reminded him loudly.
The vehicle stopped and people walked out one after another.
The surrounding area had been cleared in advance by the Spark Gathering Area. The open space was very large, and simple tents were set up. According to grade levels, everyone stood in batches and waited quietly.
As buses continued to arrive, thousands of attendees gathered.
Jiang You stood in the freshman square, and Lu Yaoyao was in the other square. He looked around and saw almost no one who looked familiar.
He closed his eyes and meditated.
A few minutes later, a horn sounded.
The loud voice of the instructor leading the team reached everyone's ears.
"The flow rate of time in the underground tower is different from that in the outside world, and even the flow rate between layers is different. You can exit the underground tower if you suffer fatal injuries or take the initiative to call."
"Everyone has a watch on their hands. This watch will record the time of the Great Week. The five light spots represent the five days of the Great Week. After all the light spots are extinguished, you must evacuate the forbidden area as soon as possible."
"It doesn't matter if the watch is damaged, the tower will proactively prompt you."
Although the instructor has told it countless times, everyone still listened carefully.
Say it again and again, say it again and again.
Every time before the underground tower is opened, it is repeatedly told to the students, but when it is closed, there are always some students who are left in the underground tower forever.
Some know the reason, but most don't even know what the reason is.
"No matter what you encounter in the underground tower, please remember your identity. If you forget who you are, you will be left in the underground tower forever."
"Currently, the underground tower has been explored to the 18th floor. After everyone enters, they will be randomly distributed on floors 1-10. You can enter the next floor by finding props or defeating the special alien species guarding the floor."
"It is recommended to explore the first five floors for the first level, five to ten floors for the second level, in ascending order, and it is recommended for those with fourth level combat power to explore the fifteenth floor and above."
"Forbidden areas appear randomly. If you are not sure, try to leave the forbidden area for last exploration."
"Oh, by the way, if you are confident in yourself, you might as well challenge a higher level. As a pioneer, you can get more benefits."
Entry into the underground tower is restricted to level 4 or below.
Is it recommended to have level 4 combat power above level 15?
How many people can do this?
It is also recommended to challenge higher levels and open up wasteland.
Are you saying this to us?
For some reason, many students present looked at Jiang You.
"All personnel have arrived and are making final adjustments. In five minutes, everyone will set off for the underground tower."
With the last order, after a moment of rest, the army began to move forward.
The students walked forward in groups with prepared supplies, backpacks, tactical daggers, and all kinds of miscellaneous items.
Thousands of people walked along the mountain road for a full two hours. The weather got hotter and hotter throughout the morning.
When I was sweating profusely, suddenly, a cool breeze blew from the front, blowing away the heat by half.
"Over there!"
someone exclaimed.
Ground Tower!
Everyone's spirits were lifted.
Passing through forest paths, climbing over mountain roads, and stepping on rocks to cross streams.
Finally, in front of a valley, the cool breeze became more violent.
When slapped on the body, it feels like 20-degree air conditioning.
The instructor who led the team said nothing more and took the lead into the valley.
The terrain is slightly undulating, and the overall shape is a bit like a gourd. After passing through the slender stone road, the view suddenly becomes much wider.
Not a single blade of grass grows in the valley.
Where vegetation should have grown, only pools of black ash could be seen.
Looking towards the end of the valley, there is a looming depth, and the huge shell seems to be constantly changing.
Even closer, the cold wind has dropped from "twenty degrees" to more than ten degrees.
It was really refreshing at first, but as time went on, it was so cold that I wanted to urinate on the spot.
No one spoke, only the footsteps on the soil and the rustling of the stone slabs echoed around.
There is obviously no obstruction, but it seems that there are layers of mountains in front of the eyes, making it impossible to see the whole view of the underground tower.
"Everyone hold their breath, pay attention to the road under your feet, and don't look at the underground tower for too long!"
An instructor shouted in a deep voice, waking up the students who were looking confused.
"Jiang You, stop looking!"
"knew."
Jiang You lowered his head.
Surrounded by wisps of black mist, on the gate made of unknown bronze or some kind of stone, there was a roaring evil spirit with fangs, as well as a green-faced man with a leopard's head and ringed eyes, and an iron face and horns.
The huge door was completely open, and it was pitch black inside, not even light could escape.
For some reason, his heart seemed to beat a little.
No, not the heart.
To be more precise, it was the blue ball that penetrated the heart that beat!
"arrive."
The chief instructor stood still.
Only a hundred meters away from the entrance, he lowered his voice a bit.
The instructors lined up one after another, scattered on both sides of the team, and stood quietly.
"In the next few days, our instructors will be waiting outside the door."
"Assistants go first, everyone, prepare to enter."
"Finally, I wish you all a safe return."
After that, he performed a standard military salute and got out of the way.
The head assistant did not hesitate and stepped forward.
One hundred meters.
Fifty meters.
Under Jiang You's watchful eye, the assistant teacher entered the strange door.
Then came the graduate students, seniors... and finally, it was the freshman's turn.
Looking at the door that was so close, Jiang You took a deep breath.
Tower of the Abyss.
A mysterious thing whose principle is still unknown.
But it is precisely because of its existence that the geniuses of the Great Zhou Dynasty can grow rapidly.
So, let us take a look and see what you are.
Jiang You's eyes flashed slightly as he entered it!
There is no daylight.
The air is thin.
Step into the door and grope your way forward in the dark.
As I walked, I felt an irresistible feeling of dizziness coming from all directions.
He couldn't tell up, down, left, and right, and he was just shaking and shaking. When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was lying on the sand.
After getting up, Jiang You patted his clothes.
To be continued...
