At first glance, this spiral staircase is not a serious staircase. If he had a choice, Zhou Bai would definitely not go up it.
When Zhou Bai walked up the stairs, he found that the stairs seemed to be shaking, but they were actually very stable.
There are flesh-colored walls on both sides of the stairs, with the edges curling inward. The steps themselves are white, and I don’t know what kind of material they are made of. They are smooth and reflective, and you can see your own reflection.
"17...35...113, here we are."
Zhou Bai silently counted the number of stairs, his spirit always tense. As a result, walking from the 3rd floor to the 4th floor was surprisingly smooth.
"Go straight ahead for 164 meters, and the four people I sensed are there. However, there are only three of them now." Lin Yuan said.
"Okay. Can't waste any more time."
Zhou Bai walked into the fourth floor resolutely.
As soon as he entered the fourth floor, Zhou Bai almost fell down. The place had completely turned into a sea of flesh and blood.
Dark red muscles replaced the ground and walls, moving irregularly.
Countless small cracks open and close as the muscles contract, playing a magical movement.
With the experience on the third floor, Zhou Bai immediately covered his whole body with white light.
Circles of ripples appeared on the surface of Zhou Bai's body, and then it was like cold water dripping into boiling oil, and the flames fluctuated violently.
Zhou Bai's heart trembled, and knowing that it was too late, he rushed forward at full speed.
"It smells so good."
"Haohao, come and have a bite too."
"No, no, I don't want it."
At the end of the passage, a man was munching on the corpse on the ground, and another man was holding up the arm of the corpse to invite the young man in the corner.
It’s like a scene from hell.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!"
Zhou Bai only hesitated for a second and immediately gave up on the other two people.
Holding the young man's hand, he used his strength to protect him and ran towards the original road.
"What about the stairs?"
When Zhou Bai came to the stairs, the stairs that were there just now had disappeared. The empty entrance was filled with deep black mist.
Zhou Bai once explored the black mist, but he only advanced a short distance and quickly retreated.
The place shrouded in black fog is already a completely different world, and common sense no longer applies.
The stairs at the entrance of the cave have disappeared. If you want to get out, you may have to violently break through the wall.
"Zhou Bai, step back quickly!"
"What?!"
Zhou Bai raised his head reflexively, and the stairs that had disappeared actually fell from the sky.
No, that's not a ladder at all, but a terrifying tongue.
Boom!
Zhou Bai opened his eyes, and a tall figure appeared next to him.
It's Lin Yuan.
"Fortunately, it's too late."
Lin Yuan held the tongue that was knocked off and threw it aside.
"King Bai, have you recovered?" Zhou Bai asked in surprise.
"Yes, I have recovered all my strength. We have to leave here first."
Lin Yuan walked to the wall and punched it. The blood-red flesh wall exploded instantly, revealing the wall below.
He has now completely integrated the petals, and also knows the meaning of the runes on the petals.
Hope.
Lin Yuan can draw strength from hope. What Zhou Bai transmitted to him is also the power of hope.
Now Lin Yuan's pure strength has reached more than ten tons with one hand. The wall of the corridor was completely unable to stop his destruction, and a big hole was punched out in two or three strokes.
"King White? You have crossed the line."
All the flesh and blood on the fourth floor suddenly disappeared, and a humanoid creature walked towards Lin Yuan.
Its surface is covered with a layer of black bones, has no eyes, and its mouth occupies more than half of its face.
"Oh?"
This was the first time Lin Yuan met a smart and weird person.
"This is my territory, King Gru. You should hunt elsewhere." It looked at Lin Yuan and said seriously.
"I am stronger than you, and I want this territory." Lin Yuan said.
"Emperor Vatos has issued an order that kings are not allowed to fight."
"As the new king, you should go to see the emperor immediately. The emperor will give you the territory you deserve." Gru, the black-bone man, said.
It treats me as a king-level weirdo.
Lin Yuan thought for a while and decided to have a good conversation with it.
Weirdness does not seem to be a natural occurrence in this world. There is another world behind them.
"King Gelu, how do you meet the emperor? What is the king level?"
Lin Yuan took a step forward and approached Gru, his body burning quietly with flames exuding a strong sense of oppression.
"It seems that you were born only a short time ago. You haven't fully received the information in the black mist."
"Our family was born from the rules of the world and has been in chaos and ignorance all our lives."
"But as long as we can begin to master the rules and condense the petals of the avenue, we can directly gain wisdom and step into the king level."
"You only need to use your own avenue petals to communicate with the black mist, and you can go to the depths of the black mist, meet the emperor of our clan, and receive his gift."
Gru explained to Lin Yuan enthusiastically, not unhappy at all because of his oppression.
Lin Yuan was also filled with emotion. He didn't expect that there is a hidden clan in this world.
If it weren't for his arrival and special nature, no one would have thought that Weird was a race! It had its own social structure.
"How does a king-level become an emperor-level?" Lin Yuan asked again.
"King Bai, your ambition is greater than I thought. The gap between the king level and the emperor level is farther than the sky and the earth."
"No matter how weird it is, I can't become a king in thousands of years. Over the years, many kings have been born in our clan, but there are only three emperors so far."
"There are 9 petals in total. When they are condensed, each one is more difficult than the last. We at the king level are beginning to master the rules, while the emperor level is the rule itself!"
Lin Yuan looked at Gru in front of him. In his field of vision, an illusory petal was flashing on its chest.
"King Gru, it is too difficult to condense the petals of the avenue by yourself. Isn't there a faster way?"
"Of course there is. That is to prey on more rules to fill ourselves."
"Human beings in this world are very suitable for prey. They are the nodes of many avenues."
That’s it.
"Thank you, Gru." Lin Yuan said with a smile.
"You..."
Gru looked at the hand inserted into his chest in disbelief.
The white king in front of me actually grabbed its petals. This is something that even the emperor can't do.
Lin Yuan was running his devouring powers with all his strength, and all the roots of Gru's power were being decomposed into countless runes, which were absorbed by him.
In Lin Yuan's body, next to one solid petal, a second illusory petal began to appear.
Regarding the rule of "hope", Lin Yuan had countless wonderful and new understandings in his mind.
There were large and small holes in Gru's body, and a large amount of black mist poured out from them and merged into the black mist outside the building.
"I'm sorry, Gru. After all, I'm not from the weird family."
Lin Yuan said softly to the empty front.
If we have different ways, we will not seek each other.
Just now, he discovered that there was a second thread on his body.
Following this invisible thread, it was the young man Zhou Bai saved.
Feeling the speed of getting stronger again, Lin Yuan's eyes became a little deeper.
Perhaps, it’s time to let white light shine on the entire world.
