Under the leadership of Bai Huo, Hao Ren and his party walked towards the "high tower" of the stars. Around the entrance of the huge crypt is a circle of black rocks floating in the air, and on each rock stands a stern-looking demon hunter. When passing by these pumice stones, White Fire introduced in a low voice: " They are the night swearers of the tower of stars, the night oath of the midnight oath. The duty of these sentries is to guard the entrance of the tower forever. If one day our fortress really falls, they will activate the magic stones under their feet and destroy the entire tower. The tower flew into the distorted space, vowing to prevent outsiders from intruding into the holy land of Corpus. But the world is unpredictable... Who would have thought that one day the threat would come from inside Corpus, and now they are also ready to blow up here at any time The gate of the gate, but to prevent the elders in the Holy Land from coming out."
Lily's ears trembled, and she immediately respected the stern-looking sentinels standing on the magic stone, and her voice was full of exclamation: "They have to stand on these stones for the rest of their lives?! And they are not allowed to come down?! My God … what a strong will it takes…”
Bai Huo was even more surprised than Lily: "How could they not let them down! They are on three shifts..."
This time even Hao Ren was dumbfounded: "...Um, didn't you say that you will always guard the entrance of the tower?"
Bai Huo frowned: "It means that they can't be transferred, because these magic stones are very precise, and in order to prevent accidents, the magic stones and the spiritual fluctuations of the night oathers are processed in harmony. It is very difficult to train a qualified guard, so Transfers are not allowed. By the way, why are your ideas always so strange?"
Hao Ren opened his mouth and was stunned but couldn't utter a word. After knowing that Baihuo had an old man who had overdosed on drugs, he also knew that these guards who looked bitter and bitter had a shift system. What he had in mind about those " Things like Sleepless Guard", "Oath Warrior", and "Duty of Destiny" were destroyed, and he could only choke out one sentence after holding back for a long time: "Girl, you can't always play cards like this unreasonably." …”
Bai Huo gave these people a weird look, turned his head and strode forward: "What I said is obviously common sense, but you don't know why you have so many strange impressions of demon hunters."
Hao Ren and Lily looked at each other and said in unison, "Stop watching TV from now on!"
A group of people entered the huge shaft that seemed to lead to the ground, and walked down the wide spiral staircase attached to the shaft wall. After stepping into the shaft and no longer seeing a big hole in the ground, Hao Ren finally felt like he was moving in a certain tower. But it is not climbing, but walking down. He noticed that the walls of the shaft were still made of ice at the beginning. But as it continued down, the surrounding ice turned into a dark black rock.
After walking for a while, he looked up and found that the entrance above was only as far away as the size of a fingernail. Looking up, the shaft was like a hollow pipe going straight to the sky, spiraling upward stairs and The sheer number of criss-crossing beams is dizzying.
"Have we come this far?" Nangong Wudi looked up. I also found something unusual, "I think I just walked for less than ten minutes..."
"The space rules of the Star Tower are contrary to common sense, don't trust your intuition and eyes," Bai Huo said next to him, "Also, don't just look back at the way you came, sometimes the space behind you will suddenly distort, visually Mistakes can lead to missteps and falls."
Lily stuck out her tongue out of fear when she heard this, feeling that this shaft is really talking.
A group of people walked down the seemingly endless spiral staircase. At this moment, the surrounding building materials had completely changed from ice to black stone and cold steel. Ancient and obscure mysterious reliefs are carved on the walls with a history of thousands of years. After continuing to move forward for a certain distance, the spiral staircase in front began to connect to a wide fan-shaped platform at intervals, and there was a window next to each fan-shaped platform. Seems to be able to see outside.
Curiously, Lily ran to one of the narrow windows and poked her head to look outside. She found that the window was covered with a shimmering translucent barrier. But beyond the barrier is the deep and dark sea water.
"It's the Arctic Ocean... through the ice?" The pointed ears on the husky girl's head trembled slightly, "This tower doesn't lead all the way to the bottom of the sea, does it?"
Bai Huo didn't say a word, but continued to walk forward with a serious face. As she approached the depths of the tower of stars, her mood became obviously tense, and she was in no mood to chat with everyone at this time.
On the other hand, every time Lily reached a platform, she would happily lean over to the window to look at the scenery outside, as if she was looking forward to the sight of walking all the way to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. But when she passed a few more platforms, she suddenly exclaimed: "The house... the landlord! There are stars outside!!"
Hao Ren was taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately ran to Lily's side and looked out of the tower, only to be dumbfounded:
outside the tower. The stars are shining.
Obviously, only the deep and dark sea water could be seen outside the window of the tower a moment ago, but it continued to go down no more than ten meters. They have entered the starry sky!
Hao Ren continued to walk down in amazement. He felt a sense of disobedience as he walked. He glanced at the steps under his feet, and suddenly realized that he was already walking along the steps before he knew it. A spiral staircase advanced.
The space reversed unknowingly, and the direction of gravity also changed accordingly. It was in front of the window where you could see the starry sky just now that everyone crossed the boundary between the Corpus space and the real earth, just as Baihuo said before Just like it does: the tower starts out downwards, but after reaching a certain point, it turns upside down!
A faint roar came from the front, and Hao Ren looked in the direction of the sound—it was originally the bottom of the tower, but now it was the top—he saw a hazy star shining in the distance, A piece of fragmented building structure floated hundreds of meters away.
Everyone quickened their pace and rushed to the top of the tower of stars with surprise. They saw that the top of the tower was in a fragmented state as if it had been blasted by something. Large sections of huge stone walls and steps were floating in the air as if they had lost gravity. See a mysterious and brilliant galaxy is shining brightly.
Lily couldn't help exclaiming when she saw such a scene: "It was destroyed by the bomb!"
"No, the tower of stars is like this," Bai Huo finally explained, "the tower is not broken, but the special space phenomenon of Corpus makes it seem to be torn apart. Keep up, let's go out from the front exit .”
Led by Bai Huo, Hao Ren and his party left this weird and inexplicable "tower" from the correct exit. As soon as they left the building, they stepped onto a huge rock platform, which was floating on the top of the tower!
Bai Huo took a deep breath and exhaled slowly: "Welcome to Corpus."
No one responded to her, because everyone, including Y'zaks, was deeply attracted by the weird and wonderful scene of this space.
Corpus is actually like the universe, in the boundless dark and chaotic space, there are no stars or large landmass at all. Looking far away, Hao Ren saw countless broken and ancient buildings and towers floating in nothingness. In the far distance, he could see a large number of stars shining. All kinds of mysterious flashes jumped endlessly in the depths of this space. Like a torrent of flame, and like lightning among the stars. He glanced back at the tower where everyone came, and this time he finally confirmed that it was a tower: the tower of stars towered majestically in nothingness, the lower half was shrouded in a layer of lavender chaotic lightning, and in the There are a series of rock platforms floating on the upper floor of the tower, and the platform under everyone's feet is just one of them.
"Now you know why we insist on calling this building 'The Tower of Stars'." Bai Huo glanced at Nangong Sanba lightly, "It's named after its shape in Corpus."
The surroundings of the Stars Tower seem to be safe, but if you look far away, you can see a large number of abnormal fires shining between the architectural ruins in the distance. Obviously, the battle in this space is still going on, and it is falling into a trap. In stalemate.
The arrival of the crowd also attracted the guards around the Star Tower, a small group of demon hunters silently teleported to them like ghosts in the universe, and a hunter called White Fire's name: "Master White Fire! You finally came back safely!"
Bai Huo walked towards the guards quickly: "I have brought reinforcements, and the main force will arrive later. How is the situation now?"
"Master Tutan has been withdrawn from the front line, we have lost two more energy nodes, the Presbyterian Order..."
The demon hunters began to exchange battle reports nervously, but Hao Ren was stunned at some point. He stared closely at the broken palaces floating in the air in the distance, and a sense of sight slowly came to his mind.
Beside him, Lily also straightened her neck and looked at the distant scene without saying a word. For a moment, this husky girl who was always carefree showed a thoughtful and serious expression on her face. (to be continued~^~)
