The somewhat sluggish body fell heavily from the air and landed on the ground next to it. Only then did he raise his head blankly and look around.
"where is this place?"
Looking at the bloody world around me, the bright candlelight around me reflected the bloody light, making the monster appear in the sky, as if I had truly arrived in the bloody hell.
"By the way, was I sucked into the black tower?"
A gust of cold wind came, causing his body, which had long been unaware of the cold and heat, to shiver suddenly. Then he remembered his last situation, the black tower sucked him directly into it.
"Is this the inside of the Black Tower? Sure enough, my cultivation level has also been forcibly reduced."
Feeling the condition of her body, Xia Xi couldn't care less, she smiled miserably and muttered to herself.
It is said that the black tower can imprison any enemy below the level of an immortal soul, and will forcibly suppress the cultivation level in the body. What is even more despairing is that once you enter, it can be said that almost no one can come out.
So far, only a few people have escaped from it in embarrassment, but the things inside have only been revealed sporadicly. It is said that even if those few escape, many things inside cannot be remembered. The only thing that is memorable is,
Once the Black Tower is mentioned, they are all very frightened, as if they have been tortured endlessly inside.
"There are monsters in the air, it would be nice if they could be higher up."
Seeing that there was only a late-stage ghost in his body, he said with some regret and stood up without complaining. No matter what, he was not willing to be trapped here forever. Even if the chance was slim, he would try to leave here. If
Otherwise, once the other party remembers that he is on the other's territory, the other party can pinch him as much as he wants, and he will not even have room to resist.
But he didn't know that this was because Gu Zheng's cultivation was too weak and he couldn't completely control it. Otherwise, he would only be in the early stage of the ghost. This was also the limit of what the Black Tower could do. For this reason, the Black Tower had to take action before, spending a lot of money to control it.
The strength of the ghosts inside has improved one after another. Otherwise, Xia Xi and the previous patrolling gods would come out in a short time.
Even in such a complicated place, if there is not enough strength to suppress them, they will be able to figure out the situation here sooner or later. If there is no danger, they can easily open the mechanisms one by one and escape from here.
Of course, Gu Zheng didn't know what Heita was doing for him behind the scenes. He was still in the stone house, recovering himself while waiting for the situation outside to be resolved before going out.
In his heart, Gu Zheng was even more annoyed with Heita. After all, more operational abilities were emerging bit by bit. It would be better to tell him directly from the beginning, but he didn't know that with his current situation, he couldn't instill too many methods at all.
The weapon spirit of the Black Tower has been strengthening the connection between the Black Tower and him. Only in this way can the other party master more.
If they were all released at once, the Black Tower itself would burst the opponent. It is so overbearing. After all, the Black Tower's ability has completely surpassed this level.
Inside the Black Tower, Xia Xi, who was unwilling to give up, had already groped in other directions. Among the candles that had been lit, she quickly discovered that there were not only those blood-colored stones, some secret rooms, and some red room attics. Look.
There seems to be no pattern here.
And this was not just one layer. After a short exploration, he suddenly discovered that there were three layers. There was also a layer of water below the first one, but it was very shallow, reaching up to his knees at most.
However, he did not go down and explored other places, and there was no danger around him, which made him more courageous. In his opinion, this place did not seem so scary, maybe it was just a legend.
The ghosts from before had some skills, but compared with the legend, they already gave him the confidence to leave here.
But at this moment, a green light suddenly appeared in the distance and was approaching here. However, the green light turned and walked towards the passage next to it. This made him curious as to whether there were other people here.
Thinking of this, he immediately chased after it, wanting to see what that thing was. The more he knew, the more hope he would have.
However, he was also very careful in his actions. When he didn't know what the other party was, he still didn't want to expose himself. After following the other party around three corners, he saw the other party's true form in a long passage.
"What the hell is that?"
In just half a day, this question had arisen in his mind for the second time. In front of him, a ghost face floating in the air was slowly floating ahead, its whole body illuminated by green light within a few feet of it.
I don't know why, when I saw the other person, I suddenly felt a sense of danger in my heart, and I kept telling myself in my mind not to get close to the other person, let alone be discovered by the other person.
Just when he was about to retreat, the green ghost face suddenly turned his head, turned back in the opposite direction, and stared at Xia Xi, who had a changed body over there.
"boom"
A layer of faint green flames suddenly rose on the ghost's face, and the green light in his eyes was like two emerald beads, with empty mouths. His body accelerated, leaving a faint green smoke behind, and headed towards Xia Xi
Come quickly.
"run!"
Just as the ghost face moved, Xia Xi's body made an instant decision, and his mind was still surprised. He had already exerted his outstanding body, and in just a few breaths, he was like a whirlwind, heading towards him.
The road receded and even broke some ordinary wooden doors in the middle.
Then he stopped on a hidden stone wall, his heart still beating wildly. He had not experienced such a panic scene for a long time. It was like he saw his natural enemy at that moment, and he couldn't allow himself to think too much, so he just
Already ran away.
"It seems that the other party has been thrown away. What is that thing and why is it here?"
Xia Xi exposed his head from the wall and looked outside. There was a small space outside. A red attic was located there. There was no green light in the surrounding space. This made him sigh in relief.
But more questions also emerged in my mind.
This lets him know that his previous thoughts need to change here. There is something threatening him here, and he cannot be careless next. Who knows what else will come.
"quack"
At this moment, a strange laughter suddenly came to his ears, and at the same time, a green light rose rapidly from the ground and enveloped him.
But Xia Xi could only see herself surrounded by the ghost face, and then her mind went dark and she fell unconscious.
I don't know how long it took, Xia Xi slowly opened her eyes, and the surrounding images became clear from blur, and she found herself in a room. As soon as she stretched her arms, she started to move her body a little strangely, and found that
Lying on a wooden bed.
He became a little confused. He remembered that he was eaten by a ghost face in the end, so why did he appear here again? Could it be that he was hallucinating from beginning to end?
Xia Xi stood up and swayed slightly. He felt that his body was a little limp, as if he was tired from fighting with others for seven days and seven nights. However, he didn't think much about it. He walked directly to the door, opened it gently and took a look. The world outside was still so familiar.
In the scene, he was actually in an attic room. The only thing he didn't know was why he appeared here.
While he was thinking about it, suddenly a figure suddenly flew up from below. The tall body almost blocked his sight. He was startled. After a closer look, he realized that it was a clansman who patrolled the gods. He remembered that he seemed to be the same as him.
We had met each other once before. It was a long time ago when their clan leader took him inside.
"You're awake. Fortunately, I got there quickly, otherwise you would have been seriously injured by monsters in the air."
This patrolling god was an enemy that Zeng Guzheng had caught up with. At this time, he had no injuries and seemed to be completely recovered. However, Xia Xi looked carefully and saw that the opponent's aura was only in the early stage of ghost.
Seeing this, he quickly checked himself, but was shocked to find that he had also dropped to the next level, only the middle stage of ghost. But fortunately for him, as long as he had enough supplements, he could return to the original sealed cultivation level.
I am only temporarily weakened, not permanently lost. If that were the case, it would make people desperate.
"What's going on here? Are you being arrested too?" Xia Xi asked quickly.
Although the two have only met once, they come from the same place and work for the same force. In a word, they are now teammates, even if they may not be that reliable.
This patrolling god naturally knew the other party's doubts, and it was not the same when he arrived. After so much time of struggle, he almost figured out some rules, and also told the other party that he had not found another companion of his yet.
, I just happened to meet him and rescued him.
"If you can't get rid of the opponent, the strength you finally recovered will be sucked away by the opponent. Only with these things can you temporarily repel the opponent, but it will also cost a lot of money, but relatively speaking, once the opponent pounces, he will directly
I sucked you completely into me, and then fell into a coma. At that time, there was a monster in the air, and I relied on myself to recover a little bit to figure it out."
Finally, Xun Shen took out a white crystal stone, handed it directly to the other party, and gave instructions.
"Okay, it seems like you have to be more careful no matter what." Xia Xi had to accept the current situation and said helplessly. At the same time, she thanked the other party and expressed her agreement to work with him to deal with the crisis at hand.
After all, if he didn't have the strength, let alone escape from here, he finally understood the difficulties here, and he vaguely felt that he might just have seen a scene here, and he didn't know what other dangers were waiting for him.
However, even with the reminder from the Patrol God, the two of them jointly went out to explore carefully and fumbled for a few switches. Before they could be happy, they were still rushed by the weird ghosts one after another and fell into a coma.
This time, no one else rescued her, and her cultivation level dropped to the lowest level.
When he woke up after being weak, not only were the activated mechanisms reopened, but their previous positions had also been changed, making everything he had done before useless.
Relying on the reserves they had brought with them before, they recovered from their weakness quickly. If they recovered on their own, it would take too long.
Xia Xi and the others decided to start looking for some tools to help them repel the ghosts. Only in this way can they repel the opponent at the critical moment.
You must know that there are ghosts patrolling next to many institutions. Even if there is no place, once it is opened, it will attract the other party to come quickly. Only by using these things can we keep them safe.
And these ghosts don't move in any regular way at all. Once discovered, it is difficult to escape, so they must not be careful.
"But why do you have to give them those things and wait for them to recover? Can't they be extracted even when they are weak?"
Gu Zheng was bored outside. After he recovered, he kept watching the situation in the stone room. He also knew everything Xia Xi had done. You must know that he had help at the time, and it took a lot of effort to get out of it, but you know
How perverted is it inside?
"Of course there is a difference. This place can withstand up to a hundred enemies inside, which can speed up their absorption. However, if the opponent uses the things specially placed inside the black tower, then the upper limit of one's own cultivation level will be unnoticed.
There are far more monsters extracted by us than those absorbed by the other party in the air, and the other party is also in a sealed state, unable to notice it at all, and unable to resist."
Heita's voice rang in Gu Zheng's mind, explaining to him carefully.
"Why go to all the trouble? Can't you put it directly on the altar and extract it by force?" Gu Zheng was puzzled and continued to ask.
"Theoretically, this is true, but the altar cannot extract 100%. You must know that the other party is not willing to compromise like this and has been resisting. Even in the best case, it can only reach half of it, and a lot of it will be wasted."
"If you give the other party hope in this way, then you can use ghosts to continuously extract, and use those special things to continuously extract cores. Although it is a little slower, overall it is much more useful than being on the altar. Of course, in an emergency, it is still the altar.
It is extracted quickly and can be replenished quickly.”
Heita's explanation made Gu Zheng understand, because the two patrolling gods on the altar had completely disappeared. He wanted to extract and continue to replenish, but was opposed by Heita. At this time, after explaining, he finally understood.
No wonder there are so many things, they should be more powerful, monsters in the air, monsters in the air, and the other party "willingly" sends them up.
Regardless, he suddenly thought of another question and asked quickly.
"I have used a lot before. Is there any loss? There are also core gold jade to prevent here, and those auxiliary green jade. Wouldn't it be wrong if the other party gets it?"
Gu Zheng didn't finish what he said, but the meaning was clear to everyone.
"That was only revealed when I was in a weak state before. Now all the gold and jade are kept safely. Even if the other party sees it, they cannot touch it unless the other party has enough strength to surrender to me. As for the problem you are worried about, there is no need to worry at all. At that time, I can only
Passively absorbed from the outside, coupled with someone's deliberate destruction, otherwise it would not have recovered so slowly and was almost occupied by those people."
Hearing this, Gu Zheng was completely relieved and no longer paid attention to what was going on inside the black tower. He just let the two patrol gods and Xia Xi contribute to the recovery of the black tower and work hard to escape.
If it weren't for the fact that in order to prevent Meng Zhen from being accidentally injured, he had sucked the opponent out of the first floor, how could the opponent have escaped so easily. However, having this ability also made Gu Zheng a little wary. With this little time, he quickly checked the black tower.
, don’t let the other party come out and cause trouble.
Gu Zheng has been here for a month, and except for one of the great elders coming back to let them continue to stay, there has been no news from the outside.
Gu Zheng stood up from his position. The problem with the black tower was solved and he had fully recovered. He was ready to move around and think about what he had to do next.
Meng Zhen was very unwilling to be dragged away by the other party, but the danger was extremely high when passing by the painting monument. If there was an ambush outside, his small body would not be able to stop it, even with the black tower.
But he knew that he had a back-up plan, and that was the water demon Yan Ge. He was walking to a completely different place, and he could lead directly to that place from there. The journey might be much more dangerous than this, and he might even end up in another place.
world, but as long as he comes there, he will have the opportunity to find Meng Zhen and rescue him again.
There is also Xu Jia, who is sleeping in the scroll. Once the other party starts to study Meng Zhen, he will definitely not be able to keep it, and his time is running out.
He has been here for a month, and he doesn't even know how long he will stay. However, no matter how anxious he is, he also knows that he has to be patient now. Without Huahun's help, he may not be able to leave the palace.
We still need to find Yan Ge in the future. As for Yan Ge's sister, she has almost fully recovered in the black tower. Not only has her previous injuries been completely cured, but some of the other party's hidden dangers have also been eliminated. She just needs to be released for Yan Ge.
Only when Ge saw it with his own eyes could he let the other party take him there.
At first, I was just curious, but I didn't expect that it would be my last chance.
As for this, he did not tell Huahun. I am afraid that the other party also knows about that place and the relationship between them and the water demon. The latter is more like inseparable from them. I am afraid that they have been there secretly. If they pass, they
I will definitely not tell myself and give myself a try.
Since they don't say anything, given their concerns, even the water demon might not be able to send Gu Zheng in, let alone them.
"Is the inside of your black tower exactly the same as the main body, or is it completely independent and different from the outside?"
While Gu Zheng was thinking and moving his body a little, he suddenly heard the fourteenth elder suddenly approaching and asked curiously.
In fact, when Gu Zheng took out the Black Tower to communicate before, Gu Zheng noticed the curiosity in their eyes and their bodies were ready to move. However, at that time, Gu Zheng was only concentrating on observing the situation in the Black Tower, and they also knew that
, so I didn’t bother.
Now seeing that Gu Zheng finally had some free time, he couldn't help his little thoughts and finally couldn't help but come closer and ask.
Looking at the curious look in the other person's eyes, even though he is an elder and has experienced so many things, the twinkling light in his eyes does not seem to be much different from that of Hua Xin.
"Don't you know what's going on inside?" Gu Zheng was still a little surprised by this. After all, after such a long battle, it was impossible not to reveal some information.
"I just know a little bit, and that little thing has nothing to do with knowing. I wonder if you can let me appreciate the world inside. I am really curious about what is inside, which can scare so many people, even many of our tribesmen.
I am trapped in it and cannot come out." The Fourteenth Elder said calmly.
"This? Let me think about it."
Gu Zheng did not reply directly to the other party, and stopped his activities, preparing to ask Heita first.
