The ground was full of milky-white figures. They seemed to be stuck in a quagmire. They were all in struggling postures. They stretched their hands upwards, their expressions were very scary. Three figures appeared on the narrow bridge above, headed by
He was a strange man wearing an explorer suit, his face almost completely covered by a beard and long hair.
Behind him is a shorter girl with white hair and a black cloak behind her. At her feet is a talking ball machine.
At the end of the team was a pale-faced crocodile. Its tall body looked a little embarrassed at this time, and it walked step by step holding on to the broken spear in its hand.
What exactly is this place?
Turning around, Reina found that she had been in the so-called Tower of Eternal Life for a month, where she saw many unimaginable buildings and countless treasures.
Of course, there are also people who died here for these treasures.
But as she went deeper and deeper, she felt that something was getting more and more wrong with the Tower of Eternal Life. Horn said that no one has climbed to the top of the tower so far, so how do people who come here know that there will be a spring of eternal life at the top of the tower?
What puzzled her was not only this, but also the various mechanisms and monsters on the tower, as well as the statue of the archangel, which seemed to prevent people from climbing the tower. Those who claimed to be the door openers, after reaching the upper floors
There was no trace at all. Moreover, there was no food supply.
However, while Reina was thinking, Mr. Crocodile's breathing caught her attention.
"Are you okay?"
Reina looked back and found that something was wrong with Mr. Crocodile's appearance. The wounds on his body were obviously healed by her magical ring, but why did he still look in pain?
Mr. Crocodile suddenly made a pop and fell to his knees. He supported the ground with his left hand and held a spear in his right hand. He said: "I...I'm fine."
But it doesn't look like it's okay, it's clearly something big.
Horn stopped, turned around, glanced at Mr. Crocodile, then stroked his beard and said: "It can't continue walking. Although the wound has healed, the wear and tear on the body has not recovered. This
It’s not something that can be recovered in three or two days.”
"What a shame! I can still...ahem!"
Mr. Crocodile wanted to stand up, but his legs shook and he suddenly fell down again.
Linnai was silent, and suddenly Horn patted her shoulder, took her to the side, and whispered: "I know you don't want to leave it, but you also know the current situation. I can't control the situation. If
If that kind of monster opponent appears again, we won't be able to spare our hands to save it."
Horn's words made sense, Reina glanced at Mr. Crocodile.
He continued: "Of course, we will not leave it alone. After we get the Fountain of Eternal Life, we will definitely have to go back. Then we will divide it a little bit more and then leave together. Now, let's find a safe place to let it go."
Rest, this is the best way."
Leaving Mr. Crocodile here makes Reina worried. She doesn't know if it's safe around here.
Horn looked at Mr. Crocodile and said: "You may not be able to tell, but it is very old. It is probably equivalent to a human being in his nineties."
Hearing this, Reina was a little surprised.
"No way."
"It's true. The reason why the crocodile tribe is so powerful is because no matter how old they are, as long as they eat a full meal, they can burst out with the strength of their prime. Therefore, it will give people the illusion that the crocodile tribe has no old people. To judge the crocodile tribe
Its age depends on its teeth, you can see for yourself."
Hearing this, Reina turned her head and carefully observed Mr. Crocodile's mouth. Sure enough, it was missing some teeth, and some of the teeth were severely worn.
"All right."
In the end, she agreed with Horn's method.
"But, I have to tell it."
After saying that, Reina walked towards Mr. Crocodile.
"Hey! Wait...hey~"
Horn shook his head, sighed and followed suit.
"What! No! I want to go too!"
As expected by Horn, this stupid guy didn't agree with the idea at all. Just when he was scratching his head and feeling a headache, Reina suddenly said: "Are you afraid that we won't come back?"
Mr. Crocodile shook his head and said: "No, that's not right. If I don't get the Fountain of Eternal Life with my own hands, then everything is meaningless."
It suddenly scratched its head, knelt down, and started crying bitterly.
"It, it can't hold on anymore..."
It finally told the real reason why it came here. The crocodile tribe has a very long lifespan, at least three to four hundred years, but ordinary monsters do not have such a long lifespan.
When it was injured once, it was rescued by a very weak race, the Ketu tribe. It was a stray rabbit man. It escaped after hearing that its homeland was destroyed by the pig tribe.
It stayed with Mr. Crocodile while he was recovering from his injuries.
Linnai and Horn could also imagine what happened next, and it was the same as what they thought.
But the lifespan of the Kotu tribe is comparable to that of humans...
Mr. Crocodile knew that one day, they would be separated forever, but he was afraid when he saw each other getting older little by little without any change in himself. Then two people made an appointment to run together. As a result, the other person ran faster and faster, and he could only watch.
Her back seemed to be gradually fading away.
So it comes here.
"I completely understand your feelings. This world is so unfair. Why are creatures like dragons that can live for thousands of years, and why some creatures can't even live for a hundred years? This is so unfair."
Horn said angrily.
One hundred years is also out of reach for Reina, so she doesn't understand their feelings.
However, she still patted her chest and promised to bring back two copies of the Fountain of Eternal Life. In the end, Mr. Crocodile gave in. With Horn's suggestion, the two of them handed their luggage to Mr. Crocodile for safekeeping.
Rena thought that this would reassure Mr. Crocodile, so she put down a lot of things.
"Then let's go, it's time to climb to the top."
Horn said.
After bidding farewell to Mr. Crocodile, the two continued to climb the tower and finally arrived at the top entrance.
It was a huge head, very huge, with its mouth open, and its tongue sticking out was a huge bridge, connecting its throat.
The strange thing is that there are four larger colossi standing around. The colossi are holding tridents against the head, and they all have angry expressions on their faces.
The atmosphere was extremely majestic, and for some reason, such a bright place gave Reina an eerie feeling. A coldness that pierced her spinal cord came from under her feet. Her instinct told her that this place was very bad!
However, Horn suddenly turned around, looked at her and said, "This is the top entrance of the Tower of Eternal Life, the Underworld."
Horn smiled and said, "We're almost there! Thanks to you for taking care of those angels."
"Angel?"
Reina was stunned for a moment.
"No, I'm talking about a monster that looks like an angel."
Horn seemed to be hiding something, and then urged: "Let's go, let's not worry about these little things, victory is right in front of us."
