"You are really lucky!" Jin Tianwei said with some envy.
"I searched the area for hundreds of miles carefully and dug almost three feet into the ground, but I couldn't find any trace of other Red Flame Fruits." Ma Xiaoyao said regretfully.
"The Red Flame Fruit is a sacred object of heaven and earth. If you can find one, you are already blessed with great luck. You actually want a second one? You are so infatuated!" Jin Tianwei's face twitched a few times.
"The emperor taught you that I am too infatuated." Ma Xiaoyao looked like he had been taught the lesson.
"What are you doing in the Ghost Forest?" Jin Tianwei continued to ask.
"Oh, I came to the Ghost Forest to look for a herb."
"What herbs?"
"Thousand-leaf grass is used to refine healing elixirs."
"Are you hurt?"
"Yes, something went wrong while I was practicing, and my body suffered some hidden injuries. I need to take good care of it."
…
The two of them answered questions and answered questions, and they cooperated very well.
"Who are they?" Jin Tianwei glanced at Ouyang Zilan and others.
"Friends, they also need Thousand Leaf Grass, so we came together and looked after each other on the way." Ma Xiaoyao said hurriedly.
"boom!"
Suddenly there was a loud noise from ahead.
Jin Tianwei turned his head in surprise and saw a group of people forcibly breaking open the outer wall of the stone tower, and then rushing in. Jin Tianwei felt anxious and rushed over quickly. The treasures in the stone tower cannot be reached by others first!
"Finally gone!" Ma Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief. Jin Tianwei's aggressive questioning just now put a lot of pressure on Ma Xiaoyao.
"Those people have broken into the stone tower, and there is no danger." Ouyang Zilan said: "Let's go in quickly. If we go in too late, the treasure will be robbed!"
"Walk!"
Ma Xiaoyao made a quick decision and led everyone towards the stone tower. The closer they got to the stone tower, the more shocking it felt to Ma Xiaoyao. The sky was already bright at this moment, and under the sunlight, the stone tower emitted a bright light like glass.
It looks dreamlike and beautiful.
The person who built this stone tower is definitely not an ordinary person!
A fire burned out a majestic stone tower, which is really unexpected!
After entering the stone tower, Ma Xiaoyao and others were faced with a dilemma. Should they go up? Or down? Because the stone tower only revealed half of the body, the upper half of the body was exposed in the air, and the lower half of the body was buried deep underground. At this moment, Ma Xiaoyao and others
The person is in the middle of the stone tower.
"The most important treasure must be placed on the top floor of the stone tower. Let's go up." Ouyang Zilan suggested.
Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "No! I think it's safer to go down there."
"Why?" Ouyang Zilan didn't understand.
"Look." Ma Xiaoyao pointed to the front: "Most people are heading up. There are so many people, and the competition will be fierce. We are not strong. If we participate rashly, we will definitely cause murder...
There will be fewer people going downstairs, and the competition will be lighter. As long as we are cautious, we should be able to protect ourselves."
"I agree with Mr. Ma's point of view." Hu Yandong nodded.
"I also agree with Mr. Ma's point of view." Ouyang Wuwei also nodded.
"But...but the most important treasure is up there..." Ouyang Zilan was a little unwilling: "It would be such a pity to give up like this!"
"Haha..." Ma Xiaoyao smiled: "Why do you think all the good treasures are up there? What if it's not the case?"
"Look at everyone running up there..."
"Don't look at others, follow your own heart."
"But……"
"The baby is good, but our lives are better! As I said, there are many people up there, and the competition will definitely be fierce. If we rush up with the strength of just a few of us, we will only become victims of others' swords."
"...Okay, if you say you want to go downstairs, go downstairs. I'll listen to you."
In this way, Ma Xiaoyao led Ouyang Zilan and others to the bottom of the stone tower.
There is a stone staircase on each floor. Probably because it has been closed for too long, the stairs are covered with dust. If you step on them, you will leave a deep footprint. In addition to the stairs, there are also stone steps on the top of each floor.
Inlaid with a fist-sized luminous pearl, the light emitted by the luminous pearl illuminates the entire space exceptionally brightly.
"What a big luminous pearl. If this is put up for auction, it will definitely sell for a sky-high price." Ouyang Zilan's eyes were a little blurry.
Ma Xiaoyao looked up, then shook his head: "Two-thirds of the body of the Night Pearl is embedded in the cracks of the stone. If I read it correctly, molten iron is also smeared in the gaps around the Night Pearl, and it is tightly adhered to the stone.
Together, if you dig it forcefully, the Luminous Pearl will definitely break into pieces."
"So...we can't get this luminous pearl?" Ouyang Zilan's face was full of disappointment.
Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "It is indeed difficult to get."
"Alas... What a pity for such a beautiful luminous pearl... Huh? There are words on the wall over there!" Ouyang Zilan suddenly pointed to the east and shouted.
Ma Xiaoyao looked in the direction pointed by Ouyang Zilan, and sure enough he saw three words carved on the wall opposite, which were tadpole inscriptions from ancient times: "Senior Hu Yan, please trouble you!" Among the few people, only Hu Yandong was
The tadpole essay of knowledge.
Hu Yandong took a few steps forward, stared at the three words on the wall for a while, and then read: "Twenty-nine... this is a number..."
"Twenty-nine? What do you mean?" Ma Xiaoyao frowned.
"I think it's the number of the stone tower's floors..." Ouyang Wuwei said: "Our location should be the twenty-ninth floor of the stone tower."
"Well, that's probably what it means." Hu Yandong nodded.
"This is easy to verify. Just go to the next floor and take a look. If there are numbers on the next floor and it is twenty-eight, then my grandpa is right." Ouyang Zilan is quite smart.
"Don't rush down yet." Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand: "Let's search this floor carefully to see if there are any treasures." As he spoke, Ma Xiaoyao raised his feet and started searching the stone tower.
Ouyang Zilan and others were not idle either. They spread out and wandered around the stone tower. The dark corners were the places they paid special attention to.
More than ten minutes later, several people met.
"How about it?"
"Nothing."
"I didn't find anything either..."
"It was probably looted by the people in front."
"Since there is nothing, let's go to the next floor."
…
Several people followed the stairs to the next floor.
"Look, there are also words on the east wall."
"Twenty-eight... really twenty-eight..."
"My grandfather was really right."
"So... there are more than twenty floors below? It's incredible... Who built such a stone tower? What is the purpose?"
"It's so empty here and there's nothing. I guess I was overtaken by people in front of me."
"Let's go down there and speed up."
…
Several people went down three floors in one go. When they arrived on the twenty-fifth floor, they saw a group of people fighting inside, and the scene was very heated.
"What's going on? Why did they start fighting?"
"Look... there is a long box in the middle of the crowd... What is inside the box is... ginseng? It's so big... it's at least a thousand years old... maybe even longer..."
"No wonder they started fighting, it turns out they were fighting over this ginseng plant."
"There are many experts inside, and we can't get involved at all. Let's go to the next level."
"It's a pity that there is a ginseng plant..."
…
When a few people followed the stairs to the twenty-fourth floor, they found that there was also a group of people fighting here. This time they were fighting for a sword. It was simple and elegant, and you could tell at a glance that it was not an ordinary sword.
There were several people inside who were ninth-level warriors, and they were simply not something that Ma Xiaoyao and others could compete with, so they had no choice but to give in.
"Let's go to the next floor!"
…
Ma Xiaoyao and others went down to more than ten floors in one breath. On each floor, a group of people were fighting for all kinds of treasures, including ginseng, swords, knives, secret books, elixirs... all kinds of things.
Everything is there.
This stone tower is like a treasure cave, with extraordinary treasures on every floor.
There is a saying that says, there are more wolves than meat! There are many people who break into the stone tower, but there are very few treasures, so they can only fight for them. Once the war starts, there will be casualties, and those with low strength are destined to be eliminated.
When Ma Xiaoyao arrived at the seventh floor, he found that there was also a group of people here. There were quite a few people. However, this group of people did not fight. Instead, they gathered together and discussed something in a low voice.
Huh?
Why didn't these people fight? Are there no treasures here? Ma Xiaoyao glanced around and found that there were indeed no treasures in the surrounding area. Since there are no treasures, why are you still here? Why don't you go to the next floor quickly?
"Xiaoyao, there is no staircase leading to the next floor!" Ouyang Zilan's expression suddenly changed.
"There are no stairs?" Ma Xiaoyao was stunned, and then slapped his forehead: "No wonder I feel something is wrong...it turns out there are no stairs..." At this moment, Ma Xiaoyao also wanted to understand why the group of people on the opposite side stopped fighting.
On the one hand, there are no treasures here, and on the other hand, the stairs leading to the next floor are missing.
"Is this the last level?" Ouyang Zilan said softly.
"Did you see the number on the wall? That's a seven. This is the seventh floor. Logically speaking, there are six floors below." Hu Yandong said with a solemn expression.
"Since there are still six floors, why can't we see stairs leading down here?" Ouyang Zilan asked.
"I don't know." Hu Yandong shook his head: "Maybe it was removed by someone, or maybe there were no stairs in the first place."
"Master Ma, what should we do next?" Ouyang Wuwei asked Ma Xiaoyao's opinion.
Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "Just wait and see what happens! Some people are more anxious than us!"
"Since there is no road, then dig out a road!" someone in the crowd opposite shouted.
"Isn't this bad? What if an unknown mechanism is triggered?" Someone objected.
"What a bullshit mechanism! We've been traveling all the way, can we see a mechanism?"
"Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean you don't have it."
"Get out of here! If you're scared, get out of here. You'll have one less person to grab the treasure from me!"
"Okay, everyone has been yelled at. Let's quickly find a way to get to the next floor. I have an intuition that there must be a very high-end treasure hidden down there!"
"Everyone is looking around, maybe there is some mechanism. As long as you find the mechanism, you can open the passage to the bottom."
"We have searched carefully just now and found no mechanism."
"Okay, don't bother, let's dig through the ground! This saves trouble and time!"
"You all get up and let me dig through the ground! They are all twitching and pinching, and there is no pleasure at all! They are all a bunch of hypocrites. When they see the treasures being snatched one by one, they shrink back when they encounter difficulties!
I despise you!"
"Damn! Be careful what you say!"
"That's what I say. If you don't accept it, come out and challenge me!"
"Okay, please stop saying a few words. The most important thing now is to search for treasures. If you want to fight, go out and fight!"
…
After several arguments, we finally decided to use the most primitive method, which was to drill through the ground.
"You all stand back!" A burly man stepped out. This man was more than two meters tall, with a huge back and a strong body. His two exposed arms were full of muscles, and his two big hands like cattail fans carried
With two sledgehammers, he walks like a tiger and is very powerful.
Ma Xiaoyao narrowed his eyes, he was a ninth-level warrior!
"Hi!"
The big man raised his sledgehammer and hit the ground hard.
"Whoosh!"
"boom!!!"
Two sledgehammers hit the ground hard, making a deafening sound, and the entire stone tower seemed to shake a few times.
"Huh? The ground is intact!"
"Damn! The ground is too solid!"
"It looks like it's just made of stone. It's even worn out in some places. I don't see anything special about it. Why is it so strong?"
…
Listening to the discussions around him, the burly man looked a little unnatural. He had just boasted about Haikou and said he could drill through the ground, but now... No, he must get his face back! The burly man squatted down on his horse and waved his hands.
The sledgehammer hit the ground again, this time with all his strength.
"Buzzing..."
Two sledgehammers cut through the air and hit the ground like thunder.
"boom!!!"
There was a loud noise, and the stone tower shook a few times. When I looked down again, I saw that the ground was still intact, not even a crack could be seen.
"How could this happen?" The sturdy man was dumbfounded, looking at the ground in a daze: "It's impossible... With my strength, even a hill can be flattened, but there is nothing I can do about this ground... What the hell is this?
What's going on?"
Not only was the burly man puzzled, but other people were also full of surprise. They could all feel the might of the burly man. Logically speaking, two hammers should be able to break open the ground, but the fact is... the ground was safe.
Lossless.
"Let me try it!"
A man in a white gown and a silk scarf walked out of the crowd. He was holding a shining golden sword in his hand, with a lifelike five-clawed golden dragon engraved on the blade. This was a precious sword.
"Golden Sword Liu Wu!" Someone recognized the identity of the man holding the golden sword.
"It's him! The golden sword in his hand is inherited from his ancestors. I heard it was made of meteorites from outside the world. It is very sharp! It is known as the most precious sword in the secret realm!"
