…
After running for several miles against the wind and sand, the tower half hidden in the dunes finally appeared in front of Xia Fan.
When you look closely, you will find that its size is by no means small. Its outline is similar to a four-sided pyramid. Except that it has no spire, it looks like a special pyramid. There is a long staircase on each of its slopes, leading to the top platform, and the silver light above is clearly visible.
At this time, the sandstorm was too big to ignore. He had to cover his mouth when he spoke, otherwise his mouth would be filled with sand.
"We... are at the top of the tower now?" Taksis whispered.
"Nine times out of ten, that's it." Xia Fan looked at the sky - after experiencing the roar of the earth shaking and shaking the mountains several times, the cracks in the night became wider and wider. Through these cracks, he saw a piece of burning scorched earth, and the distance in the distance. Ambergris River reflecting red light. Such a magnificent scenery can never be seen from the surface. From the overlooking height, it is basically the same as the tilted ancient stone tower.
"It turns out that you don't have to climb all the way to climb the dragon. You can also walk flat... ahem... you can also reach the top of the tower." The girl's eyes were filled with sighs.
"So you have indeed completed the dragon climbing assessment." Xia Fan took the time to talk to the other party while climbing up the stairs against the increasingly strong wind.
He noticed that Taksis's voice was getting weaker and weaker, and based on her character, she was definitely not the type of person who would give up easily, so simple encouragement no longer meant much. He could only use constant conversation to improve her ability to think, so as not to completely fall into shock at this time.
"With your power... can it count?" She forced a smile.
"Whatever the tower says is final," Xia Fan said confidently, "If anyone has any objections, let them tell the Dragon Tower themselves."
She glared at him angrily and amusedly, but did not continue to refute.
Soon, the two of them reached the halfway point and saw that the top of the tower was close at hand.
However, at this moment, a purple beam of light suddenly illuminated the entire sky - it passed through the cracks, fell straight to the scorched earth, and then smashed into countless flashing streams of light! What blocks it is a transparent barrier. Under the reflection of thousands of light points, you can see that the barrier extends upward from the earth, as if it wraps the entire world.
What followed was an even more severe tremor!
Xia Fan finally understood why the tower was experiencing wave after wave of attacks. No matter where the light beam comes from, it means that someone is attacking the Dragon Climbing Tower.
Moreover, this level of long-distance strike cannot be achieved by ordinary spells and artillery.
The tower has been able to hold on until now because of the transparent barrier that blocks most of the impacts. However, it can be seen from the increasingly wider cracks in the sky that this barrier is far from being able to handle it easily.
What will happen to the stone tower when it breaks? You can guess this without even thinking.
Thinking of this, Xia Fan sped up his movements a little more - the only hope of getting out of the tower now lies on the top of the tower. He must leave the Dragon Climbing Tower before the defense collapses!
But the violent vibration almost made it difficult for him to move. Every time he arched his body slightly, the wind pressure he received would suddenly increase a lot, giving him the illusion that he would be washed away at any time. At the same time, he was holding a dragonborn in his arms, making it impossible for him to fully press his body against the stone stairs.
It's not even worse than that.
As if to confirm his guess, the barrier that had been supporting him suddenly exploded half a breath before the purple beam of light disappeared!
The moment it shattered, sparks of light instantly engulfed the entire night sky.
Several deep cliffs suddenly appeared in the desert below, sand dunes poured down, and dark red lava spewed out from below the gully.
In this destructive scene, the tower under their feet also began to overturn and sink, and the originally vertical stairs gradually turned into a straight road. Countless cracks spread on the stones, crackling sounds kept coming, and it looked like the entire stone tower was about to fall apart!
"Hold on to me!" Xia Fan didn't have time to think too much. He ran a few steps quickly, then jumped out of the stairs with a sliding shovel, and used inertia to slide directly on the slope of the tower. His speed increased several times in an instant.
Taxis also understood her partner's thoughts. She stretched out the only hand she could still move and turned her fingertips into dragon's claws. The moment the two were about to fly over the top of the tower, they clasped them in the stone wall!
Her fingers snapped in response!
But this "anchor point" also caused the two people's sliding speed to slow down a lot.
At this moment, the top of the tower had completely overturned and turned into a vertical facade, and the shining silver center was exposed to them for the first time.
It was an object similar to an obelisk, with a round gem embedded at its bottom, and the flashing silver light also came from that gem.
"Is this really the exit?" Taksis' voice became a little anxious.
"Anyway, we have nowhere else to go!" Xia Fan took a deep breath, kicked up his legs and jumped towards the obelisk. When he was about to pass by, he used all his strength to cling to the edge of the obelisk, soaking himself in the silver light. .
At this moment, the surrounding noise suddenly disappeared.
Even time seemed to stand still.
He felt the silver light flowing into his mind like a tide, and arranged orderly into cubes deep in his consciousness.
What's going on
Since the Climbing Dragon Tower has the ability to create such a real illusion and send him silently from the bottom of the tower to the top, why not send him back now
Could it be that... I really guessed wrong that this lighthouse-like sand sea building is not the so-called exit
So what are these silver cubes
Thoughts are like tentacles.
The moment Xia Fan came up with this idea, his consciousness was connected with the cube.
All the scenes in the field of vision turned into deep darkness, and even Taxis in her arms was nowhere to be seen. The only thing that exists is the information that keeps coming from the cube.
Is this... the reward for climbing the Dragon Tower
No, Xia Fan realized that it was not just as simple as transforming into a Dragonborn - it was more like the essence of climbing the Dragon Tower.
In the complex and vast information, he saw the continuously enlarging details of his body, as well as the information everywhere connected: muscles, bones, blood vessels, cells... and even deeper genetically encoded information.
And he can not only see it, but also understand what the information represents.
Those coding segments originally contained a large number of useless base pairs, but had a completely new definition under the assignment of new information. By adjusting and reorganizing the fragments, they contain almost infinite possibilities.
What drives them is Qi.
Why demons are born among humans, why some demons can continue themselves, and why some demons can only appear by chance, Xia Fan vaguely found the answer.
