Chapter 25: Recuperation
"The reason why Lyman was able to attack with all his strength was because Lyxi was good at defending, so through his observation, he transmitted the information of Tashi and Gami's defensive moves to Lyman through the sword moves discussed between them, so Lyman knew the weaknesses of your defense, so you fought so passively, and you had several swords in your body. And in the same way, because Lyman is good at attacking, through his observations, he informs Rycy of Caitlin and my attacks through his sword moves, therefore, no matter how we attack, we can't break through Lacey's defense," Xia Xi said in a morning to wake up everyone.
"So what do we do now?" Tashi asked eagerly.
"Let's change opponents and separate the two of them, so that's fine," Xia Xizhou said
"There's only one room on this floor, how can we separate it," Garmi said in confusion
Xia Xizhou looked at Catelyn, and Catelyn said, "I'll leave this to me"
Taking advantage of the fact that Ryman and Lacey were attacking the image, Catelyn stabbed out, Lacey saw that his opponent jumped out, and immediately shifted the target and chased after him, Catelyn used the thorn in the twin feathers to fix the position of half of the floor, bouncing back and forth, the spider silk of the ancient spirit spider in the twin feathers, weaved a web out of thin air, the net was just woven, and the effect of the illusion bomb disappeared at the same time, Tashi immediately pressed towards Lacey, Catelyn refracted and bounced, blocking Lyman's way, and then Gami and Xi Zhou respectively targeted Lacey and Lyman, so that all the previous conditions have been achieved。 Now is the stage to test Xia Xizhou's speculation.
Tashi and Gami, Caitlyn and Shahsy Zhou used all their strength to attack, although Tashi and Gami were hit by a few more swords, which were not fatal, but at the same time Tashi hit Lyman with two hammers and activated the electric shock effect. The shock effect deals damage for the duration of the damage. After Gamig blocked Lyman's sword, Tashi knocked Lyman's saber out of Lyman's hand with a hammer and slammed it into the wall. On the other side, Caitlyn's quick refraction jump had already carried out scattered attacks on Lacey, and it all worked. Lacey's defenses were also broken, and after Catelyn fended off Lacey's closed-loop edgeworth, Catelyn stabbed Lacey and slid a few feet to the ground. The remnants of the two disappeared at the same time. On the fourth floor of this Demon Tower, the four of them passed together, but they were all scarred.
"We're more than halfway through the tower now, and according to the original plan, we're resting here, and the recovery of Yuhuang and Diyan is very fast," Xia Xizhou said
Gami took out the recovery potion from his bag and handed it to Tashi, and poured one into himself with his other hand and said: "Xizhou, I have completely obeyed you this time, if it weren't for your command and analysis, it is estimated that we would all have to hang here."
"No, I have read a large number of manuscripts of human beings so far in the library of Futian City, and in addition to the records kept by human leaders, I found that we are all unfamiliar to the entire Haotian Continent, let alone the world outside the Haotian Continent. The more we are in awe, the more likely we are to survive and develop, which also explains my previous doubts about the origin of our five races, I think the reason, our ancestors unanimously said in unison, we are refined by Haotian God, I think it may also be out of awe, although we speculate that the truth is not like that, but I think we still have to maintain a sense of awe" Xia Xizhou said seriously
"Lord Xizhou, hearing you say this, reminds me of an incident I experienced in the Blazing Phoenix Divine Prefecture, and I think that with your wisdom, you may be able to clear the doubts in my heart," Tashi pleaded sincerely
"Brother Tashi, you and I are the same age, although I am the leader of the human race, but we have all made friends who have experienced the tribulation of life and death, and in the future, when there are no outsiders, everyone can call me Xizhou," Xizhou said with a smile
"That's right, Western Zhou," Tashi recounted everything he had encountered in the Petrified Forest, and compared his understanding to everyone in the way of drawing. Xia Xizhou listened to Tashi's narration while staring at Tashi's sketch, thoughtful. After Tashi finished speaking, everyone fell silent, and everyone looked at Xia Xizhou.
Xia Xizhou dragged his cheeks and said: "Listening to your description, I think your analysis is correct, there may be some kind of mysterious power in the petrified forest, but as for whether you have hallucinations or what you said to produce different time and space, we have no way to verify, maybe only after we get the Demon Breaking Axe through the Demon Suppression Tower, we may find the answer after going to it in person" Tashi nodded in agreement.
Gammy complained to Caitlyn: "Big beauty, you see that I am injured like this, you don't help me take a look, the Lingmei Shenzhou Immortal Queen Healing Technique is famous in the five clans, when is it now, and I still don't need it."
"What do you know, the Immortal Queen's healing technique wastes a lot of divine power, once it is used it is equivalent to losing the ability to fight, unless it is in danger, it will not be easy to use the healing technique to heal injuries, besides, the effect of your earth rock recovery potion is not bad" Caitlyn argued.
After a short period of rest, with the help of the recovery potion, Tashi and Gami had regained their muscles where they were swordsman, the cut wounds had healed, and Caitlin and Xizhou had also recovered for a certain amount of time after replenishing their strength.
"Next, we're going to the third floor. Everyone be careful, Tashi, you are in the front, use your wings to protect everyone, Caitlingami is in charge of the left and right sides, I am in charge of the back, everyone is in a cross position, and they cooperate with each other. Xia Xizhou arranged for everyone
The three of them nodded in understanding.
When he came to the third floor of the Demon Suppression Tower, he found that the light suddenly became a lot darker, and suddenly in the darkness, a pair of red eyes flashed, and Tashi shouted: "Everyone be careful, it's the Dark Feather Emperor Leto" As soon as the words fell, Tashi's wings collided with Leto's weapons, and the four-person team was repelled a few feet away. Xia Xizhou said to Tashi, "Tell me about his origins"
"Leto, who was the leader of the Feather Emperor, led the Feather Emperor to attack the city and recover a large area of land occupied by the White Devils, but one day, the White Devils asked Leto to negotiate, and Leto went alone, and never came back, until the new leader of the Feather Emperor, Lem, succeeded him, he suddenly appeared again, wearing a black cloak, and asked Lem to lead the Feather Emperor to submit to him, he told Lem that he had discovered an amazing secret, which was much more important than dealing with the White Devil, and Lem did not believe his words, and led all the great swordsmen of the Feather Emperor to besiege and kill him。 Although Leto was killed, Lem and the Great Swordsmen were also seriously injured, and only one Great Swordsman, who is now the leader of the Feather Emperor, Laika, survived. Laika built the Great Swordsman Tower, so that the Great Swordsman Heroic Spirit, who killed Leto back then, became the tower protector," Tashi said
Gami said anxiously: "Boy, you give this information, it seems that it is useless to deal with this black-faced ghost."
"Black cloak, dark floor, red eyes," Xia Xizhou muttered to himself.
Leto collided again, Gami's engineering shovel resisted Leto's hammer, the tiger's mouth instantly cracked, the engineering shovel fell to the ground, and Gami quickly picked it up. He took a few steps back in a panic.
"No matter what, Gami take a phosphorus bomb and light up all the floors for me," Xia Xizhou ordered
"Okay" Garmi pulled out seven or eight phosphorus bombs from his bag, and the fairies scattered like flowers scattered around the corners of the floor and in poorly lit places. The phosphorus bomb hit the floor and stone wall, the shell cracked, and the white phosphorus inside spontaneously ignited when it met the air, emitting a large amount of heat and dazzling white light. Caitlin, Tashi, and Gami instinctively blocked the bright light from their eyes, and Xia Xizhou covered most of the bright light with his hands, and through the gaps between his fingers, he could see Leto's whole picture.
It was a scrawny, cloaked feather emperor, but it would be inaccurate to say that he was the feather emperor, he had no wings, and he lacked perfect muscles and sexy lines, and the two sledgehammers in his hands were extremely asymmetrical to his figure. Xi Zhou took a closer look at his skinny body, which was almost skeletalized, which was a very significant feature of the white devil. Could it be that what kind of deal was made between Leto and the White Devil? The dazzling white light not only made the four-person team temporarily lose their mobility, but Leto also stood motionless. It seems that Leto is too sensitive to light, so his floor is extremely dark, and he needs to wear a black cloak to avoid light. Xi Zhou patted Tashi and said, "Close your eyes, Leto is 7 feet away in front of you, use all your skills, attack him, he is currently a live target"
"Live target?" Tashi asked, confused
"Go, time is running out, it's too late to explain" Xia Xizhou pushed Tashi, who closed his eyes and hammered Leto seven feet away. Leto was hit several times in an instant, and he fell to the ground, and the phosphorescent light gradually faded. Gradually, everyone can see the scene in front of them clearly. I saw Leto, lying on the ground, the weapon fell to the side, and his two hands were smashed into the floor by Tashi's hammer, Tashi rode on Leto's back, and held Leto's head with his hands.
Seeing this, Caitlyn stabbed the thorn into Leto's skull, and Leto's afterimage disappeared in an instant. The four of them hurried to prepare to go down to the second floor of the Demon Suppression Tower, and Gami was just about to go down when he suddenly tripped over something, so he said loudly: "Tashi, put away your hammer quickly, what if you trip over my big beauty in a while" said and glanced at Caitlin pleasantly. "The weapon is in my hand," Tashi replied briefly.
"Ah, what is that?" Gami looked down and saw a deep ravine in the ground with the help of the faint light.
"Gami throws another phosphorus bomb to see clearly, maybe it's a clue to the next level," Xizhou reminded
Gami threw a phosphorus bomb in the distance, and suddenly the entire floor became bright, showing a scene at a glance of everyone, which stunned everyone, on both sides of the floor, two deep gullies symmetrical left and right, Tashi probed the depth of the gully with his hand, and touched the wall of the ditch and said, "This is smashed with a hammer"
"What's this for, smashing two bars for no reason, what does he want to tell us?" asked Garmi
Everyone fell into deep thought, thinking for a while, no one guessed what the two ravines on the ground were for, Gami sighed, lay down, and muttered: "Hey, I'd better rest, this kind of thing is left to you" Gami stared at the ceiling blankly, and suddenly, Gami jumped up, pointed to the ceiling and said, "Look at it, the ceiling is also there." Everyone looked in the direction of Gami's finger and found that there was also a furrow in the ceiling, and this ravine was different from the one on the ground, there was only one, and it was not a straight line, it was an arc. Like the upper part of a stone arch. "Could it be that these ravines have something to do with the stone arches in Demon Canyon, or the council chamber behind the stone arches?" Tashi looked at Caitlyn. Caitlin shook her head, noncommittal.
"Caitlin, record it first, and then study it later when you get back," Xia Xizhou said
Caitlin recorded the entire floor and key details as requested by Xia Xizhou.
The team searched the third level, but found no clues about possible hints on the second level, so they had to bite the bullet and move on. When I came to the second floor, it suddenly became clear that the tower keeper was sitting in front of the four people. "It's the sage Lane," Tashi said adoringly
"Oh, is that the leader of the Feather Emperor who led the coalition forces to achieve the great unification of the Haotian Continent?" asked Garmi
"Haha, it seems that Lane's name is also thunderous among the other four clans," Tashi said proudly
"Nice to see you, my friends," Ryan's afterimage interrupted the conversation
"Being able to pass the first four layers of the test, has proven your strength, before sealing the Demon Axe, out of helplessness, over the years, I finally understood some things, the Demon Axe itself is sealed or not, in or not, it is a real life, and the most important thing is that we are five clans, trust, bravery, wisdom, unity, now to pass my level, you must choose a person to stay here independently, and after you have chosen, you will see the stone plate in front of me yourself, let's start, time waits for no one" Ryan said
"Listen to me, I'll stay," Tashi snatched the say.
"Why, we don't need to compromise with him, we can get through by knocking him out," Caitlin objected
"No, Caitlin, since Lord Lyman said so, we should do so, I'm sure Xi Zhou can understand, everything I want to say" Tashi looked at Xi Zhou, who nodded in understanding.
Caitlyn still wanted to object, but Xi Zhou admonished: "Caitlin, calm down, we still have a layer to break through, this is the realm of the Demon Suppression Tower is the realm of the Feather Emperor, I believe that Lord Ryman, it is impossible to attack his own clan"
Tashi stood on the stone plate, a white light shot down, and then vanished.
Caitlin stood in front of the stone pan and refused to leave for a long time, Xia Xizhou comforted: "Don't worry, Tashi will definitely be fine, we still have a level to break." Gami chimed in, "Let's go out and talk." The three of them walked to the first floor.
