Chapter 196: One More Person

The person pretending to be Zhang Tianshou also said that there is another team guarding the tower, is this the camp where they are stationed?

However, there was a deathly silence all around, and Bai Xiu was suspicious, and carefully climbed up the hanging ladder at the door.

The small iron door was not locked, and with a gentle push, it slowly opened a crack with a soft sound.

He didn't dare to rush in, but just looked tentatively through the gap.

"I didn't expect ......"

Bai Xiu was speechless, it was really a camp inside, a big lamp in the middle, illuminating the three-layer beds against the wall on all four sides, and more than 100 people who were originally lying on it were bleeding at this time, and they had been dead for a long time!

Did Fang Xuanqian kill them, or was it the madman?" he pondered as he slipped into it lightly.

Bai Xiu examined one of the corpses nearby.

After just one glance, he noticed that the deceased's chest was clearly dented, and it was somewhat similar to Li Chun's death, but the depression was bloodstained and seemed to have been scratched by something.

He drew the Demon Breaker Blade and took a closer look at the cover near the wound, and there was something wrapped in the bloodstain, what seemed to be a handful of hair.

"Could it be that some beast attacked them?" Bai Xiu's first thought was naturally the Raiding Heaven.

The Shengtian in the mouth of the villagers is actually a god created by the Fang family in order to balance the yin and yang of the Lingling Pagoda in order to catch prey.

Based on all the clues, it should be a strange beast, just like the cormorant that fishes, it drags the girl somewhere for the tower to absorb the yin energy.

Will it also attack the people guarding the tower indiscriminately? This iron shack is so strangely designed, maybe it's just to prevent it.

But this makes some sense, since this camp can usually block the robbery, then how did it break in?

Isn't this the place where the Raiders attacked them, but someone moved them here after they died?

The question arises again, why do you have to do this, people are dead, and what difference does it make when the bodies are placed?

The only explanation that makes sense is that the guards did not die, and that the deceased's companions returned them to the camp so that their bodies would not be destroyed.

So, where did the people who were still alive go, did they go back to ask for help, or did they continue to hide from the hunt?

Bai Xiu's gaze was placed on the tower through the narrow opening, and a thought came up irrepressibly, would they enter the tower?

He went on to examine several other corpses, and the death was largely identical to the first, and on their chests, although no hair was found, paw prints were found.

The truth of the matter seemed to be moving towards his speculation.

Bai Xiu didn't delay any longer, climbed out of the camp, and walked directly towards the tower, it only had one side of the door, to his surprise, there was not a lot of space in the tower, only a staircase, one end extended upwards, and the other end extended underground.

Bai Xiu's eyes swept away, and two lines of words were engraved on a stone slab - "The soul is the sky, light and clear, it is the heaven of ghosts and gods, and the body is the earth, heavy and turbid, it is the land of mortals." ”

He couldn't be sure which direction the men were taking, but as he had analyzed, the tower was only seven floors, and it was undoubtedly much easier to go up than the underground staircase that led to the unknown.

He didn't hesitate for long, and quietly dived in.

All the way to the fourth layer unhindered, Bai Xiu's heart became heavier and heavier, whether it was the guardian or the robbery heaven, there was no trace at all, there were only three layers left, could they still be on it?

He couldn't help but look out the window, it was already dawn, and the sun shone brightly on the baffle of the iron shed below, shining straight through.

He subconsciously lowered his head, and suddenly his eyes were certain, and the shadow of a person was reflected on the window edge.

Someone outside is standing by the window!

He held his breath and retreated to the base of the wall, and looked cautiously through the window, looking at each other, and the two of them were stunned by the familiar look in their eyes.

He was the first to come back to his senses, and with a swing of the Demon Breaking Blade, he directly blocked the other party's retreat, and she turned over and lay down, rolling directly onto the cornices under the window.

Bai Xiu was about to chase through the window, when a sharp and heavy footstep suddenly came up from downstairs.

Bai Xiu's heart moved, could he have guessed wrong, those people guarding the tower were hiding elsewhere, and now they heard the movement before they came to check?

He wanted to go down and check, but the familiar voice came from under the windowsill: "Don't stand stupidly, come down!"

What does she seem to know?

Bai Xiu's thoughts were racing, and he finally gave up his previous plan and jumped out of the tower.

He looked down and saw that Fang Xuanqian had carefully shrunk into a ball, squeezed into the gap between the cornices and the tower.

"Squat down, don't make a sound!"

Seeing that she kept waving, although he had doubts in his heart, he still jumped in, Fang Xuanjian pressed him, and at the same time covered his mouth, and he didn't dare to come out.

By this time, the sound of heavy footsteps had reached their heads, and their owners seemed to sense that something was wrong, and stood still in place.

In this eerie silence, Bai Xiu felt that a few hours had passed, but fortunately, the people above didn't seem to notice the problem and walked around again.

But strangely, instead of going up, he walked back.

Fang Xuanqian squinted his eyes and listened for a moment, finally breathed a sigh of relief, put down his hand and sat on the ground.

Bai Xiu became more and more puzzled in his heart, who was the other party who could make Fang Xuanqian so nervous?

Fang Xuanqian understood his question, rolled his eyebrows, and pointed to his forehead.

Bai Xiu subconsciously wiped it, only to find that he was also in a cold sweat, but he didn't notice it.

"You almost killed me just now. Fang Xuanqian shook his head again and sighed again, "If they find out, none of us will be able to escape." ”

With her attitude, Bai Xiu didn't know where to ask, and finally said, "Who is it just now?"

"People?" Fang Xuanqian smiled, "It seems that you really don't know anything about the 'Evil Tower', so you are bold enough to break in like this!"

"Evil Tower?" Bai Xiu couldn't help frowning silently when he heard an unfamiliar name.

She glanced at him meaningfully: "The fourteenth floor of the evil tower, the upper seven is the ghost road, and the lower seven is humane, this upper seven is not something that ordinary people can come up to, except for you and me, I'm afraid there is no one else." ”

Bai Xiu also looked back at her intently: "Senior Fang hasn't answered my question yet. ”

"I don't say I'm afraid to scare you. Fang Xuanqian smiled again, and the banter between the words made Bai Xiu unable to guess whether what she said was true or false.

He had no choice but to turn around and ask, "Is the Fragment of the Tribulation Ding on it?"

"If you go up with me, you'll know. With that, she stood up, put her hand on it, and ran into the tower.

Although he was wary of her, the situation was different from what he had guessed, and perhaps he should have asked her a little bit about it.

Bai Xiu followed, and as soon as the two turned the corner, a figure on the fifth floor suddenly rose from the ground and ran upstairs.

Anyone else here?

Bai Xiu couldn't help but look at Fang Xuanxi, and she seemed to know who the other party was, so she chased after him without looking back.

He vaguely realized that something was wrong, but he ran upstairs anyway, turning the staircase on the fifth floor, only to realize that the sixth floor was different from the observation deck on the other floors, and the wide corridor was replaced by an almost completely enclosed room.

Yes, there are no doors or windows in this room except for the small door next to the staircase.

Even though there were seven rows of finger-thick white candles burning on the desk in the middle, it was still so dim that he couldn't see what the dome of the room looked like when he reached the door.

And there was nothing in it except the desk in front of him, and the whole room looked empty and eerie.

However, Fang Xuanqian didn't seem to stay here, he had to suppress his curiosity and turn his head to chase after him on the seventh floor.

As a result, he had to stop after taking a few steps - the stairs were directly at the end of the six-and-a-half-story position, and the tower did not have a seventh floor at all!

Where exactly did they go?

Even if that shadow is just some kind of phantom, it is impossible for Fang Xuanqi to disappear into thin air, right?

Don't......

Bai Xiu's mind changed and he returned to the room he had just come from, although the layout of the room was clear at a glance, he still searched it carefully.

It's a pity that in the end, he still found nothing, he even opened it under the desk to look at it, but there was still no trace of Fang Xuanxi, and there was nothing else worth noting.

He was puzzled when the hurried, dull footsteps sounded again.

Listening to this movement that was getting closer and closer, Bai Xiu was shocked in his heart - the other party was obviously rushing to the sixth floor!

There are no windows to jump on the sixth floor, and there is only one place to hide right now, Bai Xiu weighed it slightly, lifted the tablecloth on the side of the desk and hid in.

After a while, the footsteps went up to the sixth floor, and finally stopped at the door of the room, and he could see a pair of men's feet through the narrow gap under the desk.

And at this glance, he felt more and more confused, and even a trace of indescribable fear suddenly arose in his heart.

Because there are two feet next to them, the shoes on these two feet Bai Xiu is very familiar, and they are exactly what he is wearing now.

He froze in place for a moment, and a strange thought came to his mind, maybe the other person standing in the doorway was himself.

The thought made him almost tempt to lift the cover outside and take a closer look at who the other party was.

But he didn't do this, but thought about another question, he had just heard the footsteps of only one person, why were there two people at the door?

The two men stood at the door for a long time, until the candles on the desk were extinguished, and they paced a few steps.

"Could it be that these candles make them scruples......"

As soon as the candle on the desk went out, the room was plunged into darkness, and all he could hear was the sound of people moving.

It was so strange that no matter how much he listened, there was only the sound of a man's footsteps not far away.

It went around inside and went straight downstairs.

Bai Xiu didn't dare to be careless, he couldn't be sure for the time being, whether the other person also left.

It wasn't until a long time later that he came out from under the desk.

The room was dark, and he didn't have the tools to bring lighting, so even if he wanted to continue the search, there was nothing he could do but go out first.

Without waiting for him to turn around, a sigh came from the place where he had been hiding without warning.

And one more person there!
