Under the leadership of Bai Huo, Hao Ren and his entourage walked towards the "tower" of stars.The entrance to the great crypt was surrounded by a circle of black rocks floating in the air, and on each rock stood a grim-looking witcher, and as he passed by the pumice stones, White Fire whispered, "They are the Night Oaths of the Starry Tower, the Night Oath of the Midnight Oath."
These sentinels are tasked with guarding the entrance to the tower forever, and if our fortress does fall one day, they will activate the magic stones beneath their feet and blast the entire tower into warped space, vowing not to let outsiders break into the sacred land of Colpers.But the world is unpredictable......
Who would have thought that one day the threat would come from within Colpers, and now they are also ready to blow up the gates here, but in order to prevent the Elder Order in the Holy Land from coming out. ”Lily's ears twitched, and she suddenly looked in awe at the sentries who were standing on the magic stones with grim expressions, and her tone was full of amazement: "They have to stand on these stones for the rest of their lives?!"
And you're not allowed to come down?!
Oh, my God......
How strong is this will......
Bai Huo was suddenly even more surprised than Lily: "How can you not let it down!"
They are on rest in three shifts......"
This time even Hao Ren was dumbfounded: "......
Uh, didn't you say you're always guarding the entrance to the tower or something?
”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 Oath are compatible, and it is very difficult to cultivate a qualified guard, so they are not allowed to transfer."
By the way, why do you always think so strangely?
”Hao Ren opened his mouth and couldn't say a word, after knowing that Bai Huo had a father who overdosed, he also knew that these guards who looked bitter and hateful also had a shift system, and in his mind, there was nothing left about those "sleepless guards", "oath warriors", "fate duties" and the like, and he could only hold back one sentence for a long time: "Girl, you can't always play cards so unreasonably......"
Bai Huo glanced at these people strangely, turned his head and strode forward:" What I'm talking about is obviously common sense, but you don't know how you have so many strange impressions of witchers. ”Hao Ren and Lily glanced at each other and said in unison: "Watch less TV in the future!"
”The group entered the large shaft, which seemed to lead to the ground, and descended along a wide spiral staircase attached to the shaft wall.After stepping into the shaft and no longer seeing a large crater on the surface, Hao Ren finally had the feeling of moving in a certain tower, but instead of climbing, he was walking down.He noticed that the walls of the shaft were still made of ice at the beginning, but as they continued downward, the surrounding ice turned into a kind of dark rock.After another walk, he looked up and saw that the entrance above was so far away that it was only the size of a fingernail, and when he looked up, the shaft seemed to rise like a hollow pipe, and the spiraling staircase and the mass of crisscrossing beams made people dizzy."
Have we gone this far?"
Nangong Invincible glanced up and also found something abnormal, "I think I just walked for less than ten minutes......"
"The spatial rules of the Star Tower are contrary to common sense, don't trust your intuition and eyes," Bai Huo said beside him, "In addition, don't look back casually at the way you came, sometimes the space behind you will suddenly distort, and visual errors may cause you to fall down." ”When Lily heard this, she stuck out her tongue in fear, feeling that this shaft was really chattering.The group descended the seemingly endless spiral staircase, where the surrounding buildings had completely changed from ice to black stone and cold steel, and the thousand-year-old walls were carved with ancient and mysterious reliefs.After continuing for some distance, the spiral staircase in front of it began to connect to a wide fan-shaped platform at regular intervals, and each fan-shaped platform had a window next to it, which seemed to be able to see outside.Curious, Lily ran to one of the narrow windows and glanced out, where she found that it was covered with a faintly glowing translucent barrier, and beyond the barrier was a deep, dark water."
It's time to the Arctic Ocean......
Got through the ice?
”The pointed ears on the husky's head twitched slightly, "This tower doesn't go all the way to the bottom of the sea, does it?"
”Bai Huo didn't say a word, just continued to walk forward with a serious face.As she approached the depths of the Starry Tower, her mood became visibly tense, and she was no longer in the mood to chat with everyone.Lily, on the other hand, leaned over the window to look at the scenery at every platform, as if she was looking forward to the sight of going all the way to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.But when she walked through a few more platforms, she suddenly exclaimed: "Fang ......
Landlord!
It's a star out there!!
”Hao Ren was stunned when he heard this, and immediately ran to Lily's side to look out of the tower, but was dumbfounded: outside the tower, the stars were shining.Obviously, only the deep and dim sea water could be seen outside the window of the tower a moment ago, but after continuing to go down only a dozen meters, they had already entered the starry sky!
Hao Ren continued to walk down with amazement, and as he walked, a sense of disobedience came to his heart, and he glanced at the steps under his feet, and suddenly realized that before he knew it, he was already moving along a spiraling staircase.The space was reversed unconsciously, gravity changed direction, and it was in front of the window where the starry sky could be seen just now that everyone crossed the boundary between Colpers space and the real earth, just as Bai Huo said before: this tower is downward at first, but when it reaches a certain place, it will turn upside down!
A faint roar came from ahead, and Hao Ren looked in the direction from which the sound came from—it was originally the bottom of the tower, but now it was the top—and he saw a hazy starlight shining in the distance, a fragmented structure floating hundreds of meters away.The crowd quickened their pace and rushed to the top of the Starry Tower with amazement.They saw that the top of the tower was shattered as if something had exploded, large sections of boulder walls and stairs were floating in the air as if they had lost gravity, and behind the roof of the tower, which had been split into four pieces, a mysterious and brilliant galaxy could be seen shining.Seeing such a scene, Lily couldn't help but exclaim, "This is blown up!"
”"No, that's what the Star Tower is," White Fire finally explained, "The Tower isn't broken, it's just that Colpers's special spatial phenomenon makes it seem to be torn apart.To keep up, we go out through the front exit. ”Under the leadership of Bai Huo, Hao Ren and his entourage left this strange and inexplicable "tower" from the right exit.As soon as they left the building, they stepped onto a huge rock platform that floated atop the tower!
White Fire took a deep breath and exhaled slowly: "Welcome to Colpers." ”No one responded to her, for everyone, including Yitzax, was fascinated by the strange and wonderful sight of the space.Colpers is like a universe, and in the boundless dark and chaotic space, there are no stars or large areas of land to be seen.Hao Ren looked far away, and saw countless broken ancient buildings and towers floating in the void, and in the extreme distance, he could see a large number of stars shining, all kinds of mysterious flashes jumping endlessly in the depths of this space, like rushing flames, and like lightning between the stars.He glanced back at the tower from where the others had come, and this time he finally confirmed that it was a tower: the starry tower towered majestically into the void, the lower half of which was shrouded in a layer of lilac chaotic lightning, and the upper level of the tower was a series of rock platforms, and the platform beneath the feet was only one of them."
Now you know why we insist on calling this building the 'Tower of the Stars,'" Bai Huo glanced at Nangong Sanba lightly, "This is named after its form in Colpers." ”The area around the Starry Tower seemed safe, but if you looked far away, you could see a large number of unusual fires shining between the ruins of the buildings in the distance, and it was clear that the battle in the space was still going on, and it was in a stalemate.The arrival of the crowd also attracted the guards around the Star Tower, and a small group of witchers teleported to them silently like ghosts in the universe, and one of the hunters called the name of White Fire: "Master of White Fire!"
You've finally come back safely!
”White Fire walked quickly towards the guards: "I have brought reinforcements, and the large army will arrive later."
What's going on now?
”"Master Tutain has withdrawn from the front line, we have lost two more energy nodes, the Elder Order ......"
The demon hunters began to nervously exchange battle reports from the front line, but Hao Ren was stunned for some time, he stared closely at the broken palace groups floating in the air in the distance, and a sense of immediacy slowly came to his heart.Beside him, Lily also straightened her neck and looked at the distant scene without saying a word, and for a moment, the always carefree husky girl had a thoughtful and serious look on her face.
