The Ladder of the Abyss sprouts with scales on the surface, and Goblin Scholar and Ace climb up the edge of the scales. As the two climbed higher and higher, the tingling sensation on Catherine's body gradually subsided.

The female mage leaned on As's shoulder and began to turn her neck with strength. She looked around, and there were thick black clouds a little farther away, except for the space near the bud. From those clouds, a steady stream of blue lightning burst out.

Lightning travels through space and is snapped into the bud. Catherine looked down, and the blue arc below was much thicker than above. If you look closely, you can see that these arcs are actually flowing downward like water. They are the bottom that flows to the bud and converges there. So the bottom of the sprout has been obscured by the blue arc light, and the shape is almost invisible. It's no wonder that the further you go, the weaker the pain becomes.

"Do you want to call Red Fury to come up, the power of destruction here is obviously much less harmful to us. The figure of Red Fury was long gone, but Catherine thought of the dragon and his daughter, Lindworm.

"Are you asking me?" Si Ge, who had not spoken, asked rhetorically, "You are actually worried about that red dragon, he has thick skin and rough flesh and will not be okay at all." ”

"Nope. "I'm talking to Mr. Professor." ”

"You can call it if you want. The old professor looked indifferent, "We have been walking for an hour, and the route is up the mountain. They are now about the other side of the mountain, and I doubt they can hear your call. ”

"Catherine, I'll shout. Ace cleared his throat, "Red Fury, come up!"

As's roar with all his strength was barely louder than his words, and the red fury on the other side of the mountain must be inaudible at this level.

"You don't need to shout. Catherine quickly stopped As, who was about to yell again, "Mr. Professor. Please do me a favor. ”

The old professor glanced back at the female mage and said, "That dragon may not be able to take your affection. ”

"I know. "I think it's better to be together than apart in a place like this." ”

The goblin nodded. Continuing to walk forward, after a few minutes he said, "The dragon said he would follow." ”

"Huh. Do you have a spiritual connection with each other?" asked Scott, but no one answered him.

The so-called budding scales are actually layers of natural protrusions, and the color is light at the top and dark at the bottom. The shape is more obvious when viewed from a distance, but walking directly on it will only feel as if you are climbing a continuous staircase. The stairs are naturally formed, blending in with the "mountain wall", barely enough for an adult to walk on them. However, Ace and the others are not afraid of falling down when they walk on the scales, because there is a strong suction force on the sprout. A kind of force field-like space wall is formed on the periphery of the bud, which is wrapped around the periphery and plays a protective role.

The further he went, the lighter his steps became. He had so much strength that he wished he could run to the top of the mountain in one go. The goblin scholar walked on his little short legs ahead. As, who was following the old professor, was a little impatient, so he simply picked up the old professor and ran upward. In just over ten minutes, Ace came to the top of the mountain. He put down the old professor, and the old professor was not annoyed by his rudeness, and walked around on his own.

Catherine patted Ass and said, "Let me go." I can walk on my own. ”

Asyiyan gently lowered the female mage to the ground, and the power of destruction was barely felt at the top of the sprout. The lightning coming from the top of your head is like falling on the surface of an umbrella, and it will automatically fall down against your scalp.

The top of the sprout has a green bud tip. It grew out of the ground, now only about a little taller than the old professor, and glowed a faint red. The goblin scholar circled around the tip of the green shoot and said, "Look at it, it's still growing taller. I guess it won't be long before we start to grow upwards. ”

Sure enough, as soon as the old professor's words fell, the tips of the sprouts grew at a speed visible to the naked eye. At first, it was like a stunned stick, stabbing into the sky one by one. But soon, the diameter of the stick also began to thicken. It expanded, squeezing where the three of Catherine's were standing.

"What should I do? Ass said.

"It doesn't work. The old professor pointed underneath and said. "The way up is broken. ”

Catherine looked down, and the scales on the mountain walls seemed to come to life. Their upper parts open outwards one by one, giving the appearance of peeling off.

Catherine looked up at the tip of the green shoot again. It had grown so tall that its reddened spire was about to pierce into the black clouds.

"Look at that, top left!" the female mage suddenly noticed that a fluffy section poked out of the thickened stick. The green velvet ball slowly expanded like a bubble, and then exploded with a "bang", popping out a huge pale green round blade, enough to stand up for three or four people.

"It's the leaves of the ladder of the abyss, and it should be able to treat people. Catherine said, pointing to a leaf that was four or five meters high.

However, due to the constant growth of the Abyssal Ladder, the round leaf was rising at a rate of more than ten centimeters per second.

"It's too tall, but there should be other leaves that will grow. Sigg said on As's shoulder.

However, the space under the feet of several people is getting smaller and smaller, and it seems that it is difficult to wait for the next leaf to grow before falling to the top of the mountain.

Ace looked at the leaf, reached out and grabbed the goblin scholar, and shoved it into Catherine's arms. He wrapped one hand around the female mage's waist and squatted down and jumped up.

It's hard to imagine that now Ace can jump three meters high with a single jump. He threw it out of mid-air and threw Catherine and the goblin scholar towards the leaf.

The wind was blowing in Catherine's ears, and the whole person flew above the round leaf and then fell, just falling in the middle of the leaf. The female mage didn't have time to exclaim, and immediately turned over and leaned on the edge of the leaf to look. But the figure of Ass below is gone, and the sprouts have fully grown, and the place where they originally settled is completely gone.

"As!" Catherine cried out hoarsely, clutching the edge of the round leaf with all her might, tears streaming from her eyes.

"Boom" There was a deafening thunder overhead. The tip of the Abyss Ladder poked into the black clouds, and thunder resounded throughout the space. Catherine shouted desperately with her mouth open, but she couldn't hear any of her own voice at all, and the hot stinging sensation in her throat made her feel a deep despair.

But what could she do but the "silent" scream? Catherine's eyes were dark, and the round leaves entered the black clouds as the branches grew. They are breaking through the clouds and rushing towards an unknown world. (To be continued)
