In a barren mountain wilderness that has not been cultivated for a long time, many heads suddenly gathered in the dark on this day. Everyone looked up at the building in front of them, which was several stories high, and the sound of private discussion was endless.

The Time Clock Tower was born as scheduled on the day of the prophecy.

The most bizarre thing is that there were also many people who came here a few days ago just to see how this time secret place would appear out of thin air. But even if they stared at the clearing without blinking, the last thing that remained in their memories was still a blank.

The time they spent seemed to stand still for a short time the moment the clock tower rose from the ground. This is true not only for one person, but for ten, dozens of people. At least for those who witnessed it, there will no longer be any doubts about the power of time contained in this building.

All that comes after them is a towering spire, as if it had stood here since ancient times. In the echo of everyone, it also cast a new layer of mystery on the clock tower of time.

At this time, the surface of the minaret was still shrouded in a faint barrier, which meant that the bell tower had not yet been completely opened. The prophecy says that at noon, the barrier will be removed by itself, and the gate at the bottom of the tower will be opened, so that treasure hunters from afar will be able to officially enter.

A few people tried to attack, but no matter how they tried to do it, the psionic energy that fell on the barrier would dissipate as if it had been absorbed. Fortunately, this barrier seems to be only used for protection, and has no effect on counterattack. When it was confirmed that the assault was fruitless, the people settled down. While waiting for noon to come, at the same time, due to the large number of forces present, those who knew each other in the past would gather together to gossip.

"The clock tower is so terrifying in the legend, what do you think will be in it?"

"Since it is the secret of time, it is naturally related to time. Maybe after you go in, your life will come to an end in an instant, and you will become an old man who can't straighten his waist. Or perhaps, your time will quickly rewind until before you were born - that is, there will be no more you in this world......"

"Mom, that's so horrible! I don't want to die! Is it too late for me to go back now?"

"Haha, stupid, time is part of the law of the Great Dao, anyone who reverses time without permission will be punished, how can there be a place to deprive life casually-"

Having said that, as the time limit approached, the fear in the hearts of many people who had cultivated to a low level continued to rise. Compared with the expectation of time treasure, they are more worried about whether they can save their lives in the fierce competition......

Ye Shuo, Feng Qiu and Bai Yun were also mixed in the crowd, their vigilant eyes couldn't help but look around, and quickly judged the strength of the enemy and the enemy. A combination of a chemical qi level, a qi cultivation level, and a strength level is about the upper middle level here. But that's about it.

"There's one thing that I actually care about. Looking around, Feng Qiu spoke coldly.

"Where the hell is the client who issued the team mission, and why didn't he go with us?"

When the three of them arrived at the mercenary union as promised, according to Feng Yu, the client and the other partners who took over the task had already gone to the Time Clock Tower first. However, it was not detailed how the mission site would meet. As for part of the commission, it was honestly paid to them.

Although the three of them were full of suspicions, now that the time limit was approaching, it was inconvenient to delay too much, and after a few words of greeting, they took their leave and set off.

"Could it be that in the end, that person was finally still timid and afraid, so he retreated?" For Ye Shuo, the purpose of his coming here was just to take the opportunity to comprehend the law of time, as for whether he could find the treasure of time, and whether there were companions around him, he didn't care at all, and just said casually at this time.

Feng Qiu's eyebrows were still frowning: "If that's the case, this mission should also be canceled." I always thought it was strange, at best, that he wanted to use us to play as a striker, and the worse result was probably another conspiracy......"

After a short pause, he lowered his voice: "Deliberately use the task as bait to gather everyone in the Time Clock Tower......"

But for the ultimate purpose of the people behind the scenes, it is difficult to guess. After all, when spreading the news, the other party has no way of knowing which forces will move when they hear the news, let alone accurately predicting who will come in the end. If it is said that it is the loss of one or two representatives, it is difficult to shake the foundation of each sect, so what is the point of such a net?

"Anyway, after we go in, we must be vigilant. If there's a slight mistake, quit immediately!"

Ye Shuo and Bai Yun glanced at him and nodded.

Fear, which continues to ferment over time. Just when the noise of the crowd reached its peak, at the front of the line, there was a sudden scream of scolding.

"A bunch of cowards, you'd better get them all back to me, or I'll never show mercy to anyone who gets in my way!"

The person who spoke was a richly dressed young man, his face almost suffocatingly delicate, but such a stunning beauty was extremely aggressive, and there was a fierce sense of oppression between his eyebrows and eyes. There are a few gorgeous feathers floating on the back of his head, arranged vertically, each of which is raised high, shaking out a high-spirited fighting spirit. The intricate and colorful fiery red robe made him look like a noble fiery phoenix.

This person is the Fire Phoenix King Bei Zeyi. Rumor has it that he is as impatient as he is, and every word he says is like a string of bullets. The purpose of this trip to the Time Clock Tower is very simple, that is, to obtain the most mysterious treasure of time.

Originally, I wanted to invite Ruan Shi, the demon king of Vientiane, to accompany him, but if the two could cooperate, it would be even more secure to win the treasure. But Ruan Shi didn't know what to do during this time, and only deduced that a big man gave him a mysterious task, which was much bigger than everything in the outside world, and it was difficult for him to be separated.

Bei Zeyi didn't believe it in his heart, after all, who else could Ruan Shi recognize the big man besides the Rakshasa Ghost Emperor? And if it was the Rakshasa Ghost Emperor, how could he give up this opportunity to get the treasure of time? Anyway, he was most likely fascinated by a beautiful woman, forget it, when he got the treasure, he would show off in front of him, and then let him regret it-

Coming alone, they met this group of cowards, and although the weaker the enemy, the better it was for them, but they were all noisy behind them, but they also heard the irritability in their hearts. Kitazawa Yi was already impatient, and finally couldn't help but scold.

On such occasions, every time there are a few cannon fodder who kill themselves. At this time, someone really didn't recognize Bei Zeyi, so he blurted out and scolded: "Who do you think you are? This time clock tower is not opened by your family, why can't we enter?"

In Kitazawa's cold eyes, a hideous color flashed in an instant. Flicked his sleeve with his backhand: "Then you can try it!"

Like a huge wave, the person who spoke was so shocked that he vomited blood and flew upside down, smashing a deep pit on the ground a few feet away. His facial features were sunken, squeezed together in a blur of flesh and blood, and there were only a few teeth left in his mouth, and he had long since lost consciousness.

"Remember for me, this world will always be a stage for the strong!" Bei Ze Yi rolled up the sleeves of his robe, and glanced at the provocateur who did not know life and death on the side, his eyes were full of disdain.

For such a ruthless method, although many people are disgusted, but the other party's prestige is outside, and his strength has reached the Tongtian realm early, anyway, the injured person is not related to him, so there is really no need to touch this mold. In the silence, Bei Zeyi was even more complacent, his head and neck raised proudly, and his peacock-like feathers swayed in the wind.

"Kitazawa's nephew is really right, and I agree with it. A deep voice suddenly remembered. The team in the rear spontaneously dispersed, and a burly middle-aged man wearing gold and heavy armor walked quickly, his face was mighty, and he was not angry. Although there was a smile on his face, the coercion that was not weaker than others was pouring out of the mountains and seas.

"Hmph, there's a tricky guy here......" Bei Zeyi's eyes narrowed slightly, and according to the number of courtesies, he briefly hugged his fist: "Mountain Leopard King, little nephew is polite." ”

After he was arrogant, he had to be pressed down by him, and the other party stepped on his head effortlessly, gaining the attention of the audience. Looking at the mountain leopard king who was smiling with satisfaction in the eyes of respect or awe, Bei Zeyi was even more secretly hateful.

The Mountain Leopard Clan and the Fire Phoenix Clan have always been at odds with each other. But in terms of overall strength, after all, the brave and warlike Mountain Leopard Clan is superior. For this reason, in the many resource battles, the Fire Phoenix Clan has lost the upper hand, which makes the hidden rift between the two sides even more profound.

So it's all Ruan Shi's fault...... What is it for me to shirk at this time! Kitazawa Yi scolded in his heart. At this time, the Mountain Leopard King had already taken a steady step and approached him, his voice slightly lowered.

"So the treasure hunt later, everyone depends on their strength, and the loser ...... Don't complain?"

A stiff smile tugged at Kitazawa's face. The same is true for you...... Mountain Leopard King!

Not long after, two more figures came out. A man and a woman, their appearance is superior. But at this time, what attracted everyone's attention more was not their appearances, but the powerful demonic energy that was wrapped around them.

Being able to exude such a demonic aura, in addition to its own strength, is mostly something that only those noble bloodlines in the demon clan can have. And this also means that anyone who wants to do something to them before they have the certainty of confronting the entire demon race has to weigh more.

The young man had long hair and a shawl, the upper half was light brown, the lower half was crimson, and he was dressed in light armor, with a noble temperament and a natural majesty. He is none other than the fire scorpion demon Zhong Yanyan, who was ordered to serve as the guard of Princess Guanxuan. At this time, he hugged his fists at the two demon kings and saluted: "Fire Phoenix King, Mountain Leopard King." ”

The Mountain Leopard King returned the salute dignifiedly, Bei Zeyi was not happy in his heart, glanced at Zhong Yanyan, and sneered: "After the resurrection of the Six Imperial Demon Lords, don't all of you demon clans want to go to heaven?

Zhong Yanyan maintained a courtesy smile: "In the eyes of the younger generation, whether to fight or not to fight, that is the meaning of the top." But the two clans are still at peace for a day, and the younger generation should have respect for the king of the demon clan. ”

Guan Xuan, who was beside him, poked his head out curiously, looked at Bei Zeyi, and said with a smile: "Why do you have to tell him so much? I think he just can't beat my Sixth Royal Brother, and he will only talk as fast as he can here!"

Kitazawa's face twitched slightly: "...... Brother, are you expensive this year?"

Guan Xuan was furious when she heard this, and she wanted to rush out and beat him with her feet. It seems that as a young girl, whether it is a human or a demon, she can't bear the humiliation of age. If it weren't for Zhong Yanyan to stop him, I'm afraid that a good show of demon brawl would have been staged in front of everyone.

The Mountain Leopard King sneered secretly when he saw it, and at the same time hugged his fist to Zhong Yanyan and said, "This little friend of the demon clan, please convey greetings to the six royal brothers on behalf of the king." ”

For thousands of years, the Six Imperial Demon Lords have been the most influential rulers within the Demon Clan. Of course, he is famous for his brutal iron-blooded methods of conquest. The Mountain Leopard King is indeed afraid of the Six Imperial Demon Lords, so he wants to repair these two demon envoys as much as possible, not just to provoke Bei Zeyi.

Zhong Yanyan replied: "It's easy to say." ”

Just as everyone greeted each other, the barrier in front of the Time Clock Tower finally quietly dispersed. The two gates at the bottom of the tower were also opened inch by inch. The heavy squeak brought a dusty sense of the times. Everyone watched intently, and after a long time, it seemed that they suddenly came back to their senses, and a cheer suddenly broke out, and the crowd poured into the bell tower like a boiling tide.

But they don't know at this time that hell awaits them in front of them......

……

Stepping into the inside of the bell tower, time and space seem to be translocated, and everyone has a temporary sense of imbalance at this moment. Even the power of the law they sensed had subtle changes.

After calming the restless spiritual power again, everyone had time to carefully examine the layout of the bell tower.

It is paved with crystal blue marble all around, and at a glance, it looks like a delicate glass house. There are two staircases on each side, and from the position of the hall, you can see the circular corridor on the second floor.

In the middle there is an extremely narrow stone staircase that leads to the top of the minaret. At the end of the stone staircase, there stands a huge clock, on which are engraved the words symbolizing the twelve hours, and a short hand is parked inside, which is naturally still at the moment.

In addition, the entire bell tower is empty and unobstructed, which makes everyone who is full of enthusiasm for treasure hunting a little unable to turn for a while.

"It's so empty here, where the hell will the treasure be hidden?" said someone tentatively after a moment of silence.

"What the hell is a treasure?" More people looked at each other, knowing that there was a hidden treasure here, but what form would that treasure take place?

The sunlight shone in obliquely through the narrow windows above, lingering over the halls, casting a faint shadow. In the depths of the shadows, there is a bottomless darkness.
