Da...da...da...da...

The crisp sound of footsteps kept ringing in the dark world, but there was no echo that could be heard again. The deep and heavy darkness seemed to completely swallow all the sounds and lights.

There seems to be nothing in this space that cannot sense the boundaries. Within the extremely dim lighting range, there is only a stone staircase under the feet of the five-person team that cannot see where they come from or where they go.

This is the fourth floor of the [Clock Tower] that the adventure team arrived at after the whole group was gathered on the third floor.

Like many mysterious things, the structure of this [Clock Tower] also uses the most magical number "Seven", with a total of seven layers from the outside to the inside. Moreover, the space for progression is constantly increasing, and the strength is also increasing.

After the first three explorations, the deepest part that the latecomers can advance is the sixth floor, but no one can step into the seventh floor, let alone know what treasure is hidden there.

It is just that the extraordinary can vaguely sense its existence through various means.

According to the notes obtained by Jerros, the location of [Secret Ocean Treasures: Ancient Scroll] is located in a space on the sixth floor "The Sea in the Tower - Eye of the Giant".

"Evin, are we just going all the way up? Why do I feel like we have been walking for a long time?"

Anita, who was responsible for the team at the end of the team, suddenly spoke. The voice of her voice was clearly right in her ears, but in this special environment, it seemed to be far away in the sky, which made people feel serious dislocation.

Especially Alvin and Anqi, they felt like they were back to the "Forgotten Desert" in [Haven]. The depressing atmosphere that even their heartbeats were clearly audible makes people feel a little irritated.

But Alvin doesn't know how to answer his sister's question.

First, in the darkness, human instincts drive themselves upwards, not downwards. Second,... I took a look at Milan walking beside me and could only believe the judgment of this professional "prophet".

Before this, no matter whether it was [illumination technique], [low frequency pulse], or even the great wizard's [mental force field], or the space dragon's [space perception], no detection method could extend from the boundary of the stone steps.

And whenever Alvin had the idea of ​​flying up to find the boundaries of this space, a huge sense of fear would make him suppress this idea again and honestly lead the team on this stone ladder that can accommodate two carriages in parallel.

This should be a specific rule that will begin to appear since entering the fourth level of the core layer. At least under the suppression of the [Clock Tower], which is essentially equivalent to a demigod, almost no one can fight it.

suddenly.

When Alvin used the "data vision" to accurately measure the journey of his group and walked about ten kilometers, new changes finally appeared ahead.

“That’s a...corner!”

Olivia's tone was faintly excited. In this depressing atmosphere, any new changes were enough to make people feel excited.

However, at the moment of seeing that corner, Milan, who was in the second place in the squad's formation, suddenly drew his gun, and the revolver [Black Steel] roared like a wild beast.

Bang!

At the same time, a strange thing that looked a bit like a big dog and a bit like a mutant lizard suddenly jumped out of the 90° corner and was shot in the head by a powerful bullet.

After instinctively shooting the other party, a hint of surprise appeared on Milan's face.

"No, right? These guys actually came here to chase him?"

However, this is just the beginning.

At that corner, the "Daros Dog Demon" kept jumping out of the void, and each one just appeared and snatched straight towards Milan.

Wow wool wool...

After going forward, it was like a tide. Alvin, who was standing in front of the queue, faced his head as curious as petals, his shiny canine teeth and his long dripping tongue felt the strongest.

I was wondering that the dog demon in the entire [Clock Tower] was crazily killed here. What a grudge?

Without hesitation, he took a step forward and waved his hand suddenly.

call--!

Use the power of the "Storm Dragon" to launch a terrifying storm, and flew the "Daros Dog Demon" who kept jumping out of the corner into the darkness under the stone steps in one breath.

I can't hear the sound of falling to the ground for a long time.

"Quick, let's rush over!"

This situation gradually subsided until he led the team away from that corner and left the sensing range of the "Darross Dog Demon".

At this time, Alvin couldn't help but look at Milan:

"What the hell is that, did you steal someone else's wife?"

Milan coughed twice with some guilt:

"Maybe, probably, it's about the same.

On the second floor, I was on the water surface and there was no corner less than 120 degrees; I almost didn't stay after the third floor. Although there was a warning in my spirit, I didn't expect them to cross several spaces and chase them here directly."

As he spoke, he took out a magic book from his magic pocket, with a huge mechanical dial on the surface, and his name was written in spiritual text on the cover - "Echo of Time and Space".

Then, under the light of the lighting technique, the catalog of the book was slowly opened and explained:

"I don't know why I get such a tricky thing after passing the level!"

The other three wizards in the team turned over at the same time. After seeing what was written in the catalog, they couldn't help but exclaim: "This is... the inherited magic book of the 'Clock Tower School'???"

Before.

From "The Mysterious Source of Wandering: Clock Tower", they have long known that the "Prophecy School" has likely inherited some of the knowledge of the "Clock Tower School" (Chapter 635).

In addition to the ability to parade the long history of the "Clock Tower School", it has established a "Eye of Full-Sight" to abandon most attack witchcraft, and is only used to peek at the mysterious source of the present and the future.

That meaning is the same as the "Life Tree School" that presets a greatly simplified [Crown of Miracles] before the ultimate mysterious source [Life Tree].

This should be the main reason why Milan volunteered to sign up after he learned the adventure destination.

To this day, the "Prophetic School" is even more widely distributed than the "Alchemy School", and they are present in almost every country on the mainland.

Compared with the "Gemstone School" that also has a huge influence on the mainland, the "Prophetic School" already has a fourth-level crown wizard, and at a critical moment, it can already pay the price to borrow the powerful power of the mysterious source "Eye of All-Sight".

In addition, this "Clock Tower School" inherited magic book "Echoes of Time and Space" has also solidified a general witchcraft [Space Springboard]. At this point, Milan is no longer the weak chicken that used to be, but a... a weak chicken that is very capable of running.

The ability to survive has been greatly improved.

The most important point is that, on the premise that all members of the "Clock Tower" school have died, this magic book may be a valuable opportunity to inherit the most huge legacy of the wizarding world! It is enough to make people reach the sky in one step!

But the premise is to first understand why the "Clock Tower School" had clearly completed the concrete image of the "mysterious source", but it failed in the final stage of fusion? It also swallowed up all the members of the school.

If you don’t understand this, you will likely end up with a sheep entering the tiger’s mouth.

Especially under the control of [Clock Tower], the foreba just sent out the precious inheritance magic book, which is one of the foundations of the school, and the foreba sent out the "Daros Dog Demon" who can constantly jump in various spaces to chase after him. In theory, this doesn't make sense.

Unless, the essence of doing these completely opposite behaviors is... two wills!

After helping Milan temporarily analyze the current situation, Alvin patted his shoulder:

"The situation is unclear, let's put it away for the time being. Two birds are worse than one bird in the forest. Let's talk about it when we go out from here. But from now on, everyone pays attention to corners with angles less than 120° to prevent being attacked by the 'Darros Dog Demon'."

"OK."

at this time.

After walking through the first corner, there seemed to be some kind of turning point in this space.

Squeak squeak...

There was a louder and louder cry of insects, which began to keep ringing in the darkness around the steps. And as they continued to move up, the sound began to become louder and louder.

Staring at the staircase under his feet that continued to extend upward into the darkness, as if it was completely endless, Alvin couldn't help but think of a theory - "The Impossible Ladder of Panlos".

This theory says that four stairs are connected by four corners, but the direction of each stair is upward, so it can be extended and developed infinitely. But that kind of thing can only fall on two-dimensional paper and cannot exist in a conventional three-dimensional world.

However, it may not be impossible to achieve in the [Clock Tower], which focuses on space-time research.

But it gave Alvin the feeling that they are not always going up or down in the conventional sense, but are stride forward towards the deeper dark space.

In fact, it is walking in another dimension outside the three-dimensional world.

soon.

It seemed to be to confirm Alvin's guess. When they walked through four 90° corners and eliminated several waves of "Daros Dog Demon" who jumped out because of feeling the breath of Milan, they should have theoretically returned to their original starting point.

What appeared before them was still a long stone step that was rising and there was no end to see.

Squeak squeak...

At this time, it seemed that two parallel lines finally met. The frenzied sound of insects broke through a layer of invisible and intangible diaphragm, and it had already flown from far to near from the darkness.

Grizzly...

Headed by the tall Beetle man with a human skeleton-shaped head and two feet and four arms, a large group of strange-shaped insects surged out of the darkness on both sides of the stairs, climbing up the rock staircase without any branches along the path that humans cannot see.

It seems that under this continuous ladder, there is actually a huge insect cellar connected.

In Alvin's opinion, the angular bone carapaces on the four-armed insect man have a bit of a déjà sensation of humans wearing power exoskeletons. It seems that the [integrated circuit] that I had previously harvested was generally traveling from the future to the present.

Actually at this time.

After summarizing everyone's experience, they have realized that the [Clock Tower] is highly likely to have encountered some unknown pollution, and it is most likely related to insects.

Because as they continue to advance to the inner layer of the [Clock Tower], the first, second, third, and fourth floors now, this strange pollution has become more and more obvious, and the strange-shaped and strange-looking insects are emerging one after another.

The secret behind it is for the time being.

What they are going to do now is to kill insects!

Standing at both ends of the team, Alvin and Anita, the top combat powers in the third level, opened their mouths at the same time.

Boom-

【Flame Dragon Breath!】
