They carried oil lamps and searched for their lost companions along the steps. Strange and strange things happened: they did not see Wenger who was blown away by the wind, nor did they see Naveen who had sneaked into the other world.
This bizarre air current also exists in the other world.
If there is no time to grab something, the unknown air current will at least carry people to the upper level.
Along the way they saw broken oil lamps and Wenger's shoes, but no blood stains.
There was no sound coming from above, as if they were like cotton wool disappearing in the wind.
"I'll go find them..." Naveen took out the lantern.
"Wait a minute."
Lu Li temporarily handed the oil lamp to Porter. He and Naveen stepped down the steps in confusion and retreated into the darkness where light could not shine.
Potter and Naveen could feel that Lu Li was at the bottom of the steps and had not gone far.
Ten seconds later, Lu Li's silhouette emerged from the darkness peacefully.
"The scourge of night has no effect here."
This means that there may be a higher chance that Wenger is still alive.
But the situation above will not be too good. Whether it is Elena, Langer, Wenger, or Yoder.
"Can I go?" Naveen asked again.
The current situation is not suitable for separate operations, but Tris and the others are still down there.
"Pay attention to safety and use the psychic gun to alert you if there is any problem." Lu Li reminded.
Naveen went up, Lu Li and Porter went down, and joined Tris and others below.
After walking for a few minutes, there was a faint sound of howling wind below, and a strange and flickering dim light appeared around the corner.
Lu Li and Porter returned to the ground, and the dusky wind and sand were raging outside. They did not see the vortex people breaking into the tower, nor did they see Tris, Allen and Lanna.
"Tris! Allen! Lanna!"
Potter's shout echoed from the Spiral Tower in the style of the Whirlpool.
The echo gradually faded away, and Porter, who listened carefully, did not receive any sound other than the echo.
Of the ten people who entered the tower, only Lu Li and Porter remained.
"Where have they gone?!"
Having lost too many people, Potter couldn't remain calm, even though Lu Li was right beside him.
Lu Li observed the entrance, and the strange strong winds and surging cyclones ruthlessly erased all traces of them.
Looking outside the lighthouse, there were only vortex people gathering on the edge of the square where they were most likely to avoid.
They cannot disappear mysteriously, and the airflow flowing into the tower should also have a source.
Lu Li exchanged the fluorite lamp with the lantern in Potter's hand, moved closer to the wall, and carefully searched for any traces that Tris and the others left intentionally or unintentionally.
He walked around the corner of the stairs behind the steps, and the wall he expected was not blocked in front of him: an unknown underground entrance. Narrow spiral stone steps extended deeper.
An intuitive feeling appeared in Lu Li's mind: Tris and the others had entered the dark hole in front of them.
Although Tris, Allen, and Lanner had no reason to act "alone". They should at least make noise or leave traces to remind them, but this is indeed the most reasonable explanation for the whereabouts of Tris and others and the source of the strong wind.
As for the traces, they may indeed have left them, but they were just swept away by the strong wind. We can even speculate that the strong wind may have been caused by them?
The dark, ominous entrance to the cave was not humid, and there was no wind carrying a strange smell, so they had ignored the entrance hidden on the back of the stairs when they arrived.
"We should wait for them to come back and go down first."
Porter put away the fluorite lamp, which was too dark and heavy, and lit it with an oil lamp.
"Wait for them."
They were too scattered, and Elena was also on top. This path that exists at the bottom of the spiral lighthouse and leads to the unknown underground may very well need help from her identity.
Porter fell into an anxious wait, while Lu Li focused his attention on the entrance. There is no doubt that the underground passage is part of the spiral tower, just like a section of the tower buried underground. The evidence is the vortex people continuing on the wall. "mural".
The wait was longer than they imagined. Lu Li could not find any more details. Potter counted the 167 vortex men, but there was still no sound coming from the tower.
Porter suggested that Lu Li make some noise to alert the people above.
Nothing makes more noise than a psychic gun.
Lu Li pulled out his psychic gun and pointed it towards the steps above to ensure that the bullet would not bounce back, but stopped before firing.
"What's wrong?" Potter, whose ears were blocked, asked.
"Destroying the tower could cause trouble."
Porter pointed outside, Lu Li nodded, walked to the entrance, raised the muzzle of the gun and pulled the trigger.
Peng
The silver-plated bullets shot into the sky, and the smoke rose and was drawn into the chaotic vortex. The reverberating sound of the gunfire seemed to be like substantial ripples, advancing upward layer by layer.
At this moment, Porter turned around without warning and rushed into the dark passage.
Lu Li put his hand into his stomach quickly enough, but Potter, who seemed to be possessed by a strange creature, had already stumbled and disappeared around the dark corner.
Of the ten exorcists, not one is left.
Lu Li instantly realized that this tower was leaving everyone alone, and without hesitation, he picked up the oil lamp and chased after Potter's lingering sound.
His speed quickly slowed down because Lu Li could no longer hear the sound from Potter. He might have gone far away, or was dormant on a certain step, or even...
The oil lamp carried in the hand illuminates the vortex figure on the wall.
Become one of them.
In this strange whirlpool place, anything can happen.
Lu Li slowed down, no longer chasing the disappeared Potter, and began to focus on his surroundings and think.
The underground area of the spiral tower is not very deep. After dozens of steps, the material of the walls and steps changes, but the three-dimensional "murals" of the vortex people are too excessive. The unknown material of the stone absorbs light, and the lantern can only illuminate like fluorite. A little light and dark.
Lu Li recalled what happened when they entered the tower. It seemed that every choice they made and every encounter led to the team becoming more dispersed.
The steps continued downward, and Lu Li continued to descend in silence and depression for more than ten minutes.
At a certain moment of boredom and depression, the sound of Lu Li's footsteps no longer echoed from the depths of this seemingly endless staircase.
Continuing to walk down more than a dozen stairs, a dark underground world unfolds before your eyes.
Giant spiral toadstools stand on the rolling hills, emitting fluorescent light that embellishes the underground world. The swirling moss hanging down from the rock wall with a sickly green light gives it a sense of space. It is like swirling fossils from ancient times filling this underground world. It forms twisted lines that make people faint. Something is flowing thickly on the river bank, creating strange waves that make people crazy.
The illusion that once appeared in my mind really appeared before my eyes.
It’s hard to compare which one is more shocking, the scene in front of you or the starry sky.
The vast twinkling stars are far away in the deep sky, and the twisted underground world is right before our eyes.
For no reason, Lu Li remembered that Porter once described the spiral tower as "like a chimney".
If the clouds are the smoke from the chimney, the underground world is the boiler...
