Walking through the Valley of Ecstasy, the two of them went up one level and came to the fifth floor of the Black Tower. [Chinese.com. The Starters]

The fifth level of the Black Tower is a pool of lava boiling with hot magma. As soon as any soul steps into the lava pool, it can't help but feel a fire in their hearts, generating a soul fire from the inside out, burning themselves to ashes.

Hundreds of fire elementals are hiding in the depths of the lava, waiting for an opportunity to kill the souls that try to pass through the lava pool.

The difficulty of this level is not inferior to that of the Ecstasy Wind Cave.

As the saying goes, Buddhas have fire, and anyone has fire in their hearts, and those who are brave and brave and dare to take risks have even more fire in their hearts. As long as there is a trace of fire in the heart, it will inevitably be ignited by the lava pool and burn the soul.

Even if the soul is strong enough to withstand the burning of its own soul fire, it will be transformed into a fire elemental and imprisoned in the lava lake, becoming a member of the guardians.

Li Qing is obviously a person with fire in his heart.

Even if he enters the state of an absolutely calm and rational black knight, there is a flame in his heart that will never be extinguished. It was a cruel and murderous fire of destruction. If he didn't even have this fire, then he wouldn't be a black knight, but a real robot.

Of course, although the lava pool was dangerous, Li Qing was protected by the Dark Queen, and he was still able to pass through smoothly and follow the Dark Queen up to the sixth layer.

While passing through the fifth layer, for some unknown reason, the Dark Queen didn't say a word. So when stepping on the sixth floor, Li Qing decided to liven up the atmosphere and said: "Your Majesty, your dark gold armor is majestic, and I am very envious of you. I wonder if Lu Dao can help me change the color of this Nightmare Armor and make it dark gold? ”

The Dark Queen said without looking back: "Your aura can't control a super-god-level local tyrant like me. When you become a god-level powerhouse, get a real god-level golden shining by yourself. ”

Saying...... Except for those who have special habits, the true gods are basically dressed in gold.

This is both a characteristic derived from divine power and a consideration of imagery. After all, the true God needs believers, and the image is a little more powerful and luxurious, which is conducive to absorbing believers. It's the same as star packaging.

The Queen of Darkness is not as golden as the true gods. Although her dark gold armor was gorgeous and exquisite, compared to the glittering pure gold, the color of dark gold was still quite restrained and low-key. There is an understated luxury.

"God-level powerhouse? I still have a long way to go! Now it's just a little knight who is less than level ten, and his eyes can be scary. Li Qing laughed at himself a few words, and said: "By the way, how many floors does this black tower have?" When will we get to the top? Do you have to face the big boss who guards the level? ”

The Queen of Darkness said, "This Black Tower is chaotic in space, and it is not strictly progressive. If you go up from the first floor, you may go to the second floor, you may jump directly to the third and fourth floors, and you may even go back to the entrance of the first floor. In short, without a certain strength, there is no way to find the right path in this black tower.

"The specific number of floors of the Black Tower is not fixed, and it changes randomly depending on the situation, which may be more than a dozen floors or dozens of floors. If you don't understand the rules of this supernatural space, even if you have the strength to pass through each floor, you may never reach the top floor, and you will always go back and forth in the tower.

"The path I chose was the shortest shortcut. After two more floors, you will reach the top floor of the Black Tower. As for whether there is a guard boss on the top floor, it depends on the situation. ”

Li Qingqi said: "It depends on the situation? What could happen for Lang? ”

The Queen of Darkness did not reply, but said, "Then you will know the truth." If there is a boss to fight, you will naturally know the reason. If you don't have a boss, you don't have to know the Tao for the time being. Knowing too much is not good for you. ”

Fighting the boss is a game term, the dark queen doesn't stumble a little bit, and it is extremely smooth, obviously influenced by Su Su is not ordinary.

But it's also a matter of course.

The Queen of Darkness and Su Su are two sides of the same coin, and everything Su Su has experienced, she can experience through soul resonance, as if she had experienced it herself. Susu has to fight bosses in the game every day, and the Queen of Darkness can certainly learn a lot.

Seeing that the Queen of Darkness was unwilling to answer, Li Qing stopped asking. The Queen of Darkness is actually right, knowing too much about the Tao will not be of any benefit to Li Qing, but will add a lot of unnecessary troubles.

When the two of them said this, they had already entered the sixth floor of the Black Tower. The space on the sixth floor of the Black Tower is a library. There are tens of thousands of books flying around inside.

That's right, just flying around. Every book in this library is opened from the middle, and like a bird flapping its wings, it flapps the pages and flies around the library.

"These books are all transformed from souls absorbed by the Scepter of Calamity."

The Queen of Darkness stood at the entrance of the library and said to Li Qing, "If you want to pass through this level, you must answer ten questions raised by ten books. The ten books were randomly selected from among the tens of thousands, and each book contained all the memories of the souls of its predecessors. The questions they ask are derived from the memories of their lives. If you answer incorrectly, you will become a book, one of the tens of thousands of books. ”

When Li Qing heard this, he was stunned: "This is too scoundrel, right?" Each book is a soul, and the questions it asks are all from the memories of one's own life...... What if a book asks us what it likes to eat, or what color it likes, or even which girl it likes when it's twelve...... Who can answer that? This is clearly deliberately not letting people pass, right? ”

"It was originally intended not to let people pass." The Queen of Darkness said, "Every level is a trap intended to kill people, and it is all deliberately left unturned. Don't forget, these levels are all tasked with preventing alien spirits from seizing control of the Calamity Staff. How is it possible to leave room for easy passage and take away the scepter of disaster? ”

Li Qingqi said: "Since you have no room for care, why do you have to set up rules for answering questions?" Why don't you just conjure up a large group of powerful monsters and blast the souls that break through to slag? ”

The Queen of Darkness said: "All kinds of outrageous rules are set in order to easily kill the souls who break through the level with minimal consumption. Conjure up a lot of monsters and force them to fight, consuming too much energy, not to mention, and giving the other party a chance to fight back. After all, it's countless times more difficult to answer inexplicable questions than to fight monsters. ”

Li Qing said thoughtfully: "Then what if you want to disobey the rules?" ”

"If you don't follow the rules, you have to have the strength to analyze the rules and fight against them. In the supernatural space, although the soul can do whatever it wants, the strength of the soul is limited. No matter how much you can do what you want, you can't easily parse and counter the established rules. Unless ......"

The Queen of Darkness said lightly, waving her hand gently at the library: "You can be as powerful as this king!" ”

With this gentle wave of her hand, the tens of thousands of books in the library suddenly turned into tens of thousands of little angels in an instant. Those little angels are all well-behaved and exquisite, with snow-white wings on their backs, and they smile innocently and sweetly.

They giggle and laugh, flapping their palm-sized wings, forming a phalanx in the air, lined up in two teams on the left and right, waving garlands, streamers, and balloons, and saying in unison in a childish voice: "Welcome, welcome, warmly welcome......"

Looking at this even more bizarre scene, Li Qing almost dropped his jaw in shock. He opened his mouth wide, his eyes widened, and he stammered, "This, this, this ......" and he didn't come out for a long time.

"This is tampering with the rules." The Queen of Darkness said, "With the strength of this king's soul power, the rules of this library are only the most basic, and subverting or even tampering with the rules is only a thought. It's a pity that the soul power of this king is far less than at its peak. Otherwise, what this king tampered with would not be just the rules of this layer of the Black Tower space, but the rules of the entire supernatural space. ”

The Queen of Darkness once said to Li Qing that as long as her soul power was strong enough, she could tamper with the rules of the supernatural space with a single thought. Even if it is strong enough to a certain extent, the physical rules of the real world can be subverted and even tampered with.

Now, the Queen of Darkness has taught Li Qing a vivid lesson, showing him what true soul power is.

Li Qing followed behind the Queen of Darkness and stepped into the library in a procession of tens of thousands of cherubs.

When the two stepped on the library, thousands of little angels flew out of the phalanx, flying up and down around the two, singing moving carols with sweet and immature voices, while constantly throwing petals, light powder, ribbons, and light feathers at the two. That feeling is like the gods going out on patrol and the angels opening the way, which makes people can't help but have a floating mood of ambition.

"These cute things ......" Li Qing looked at those cute little angels left and right, and muttered, "It doesn't look lethal at all!" How will you guard this layer in the future? ”

"It's simple." The Dark Queen said, "The little angels will welcome and sing praises to every soul that steps into this space. Any soul that has a little bit of intoxicating emotion in his heart will be transformed into a cherub in an instant. ”

"That's a good move." Li Qingzan said: "People who are more humane than the rules of those books just now, who are strong enough and have a strong enough heart defense, still have a chance to pass." ”

"Chance to pass?" There was a hint of mockery in the Dark Queen's sweet and clear voice: "You forgot again, this is the level that guards the Black Tower and prevents the alien souls from seizing control of the Calamity Staff, and you want to leave no room for it. Even if there is a foreign soul whose will is strong enough to resist ****, and does not give birth to any self-aggrandizing emotions in his heart, he has to stay here in the end. ”

"How to stay?" Li Qing said with some surprise: "If you can resist **** and don't inflate yourself, won't you be transformed into a little angel?" Isn't it just passable? ”

"Wrong. How can the rules made by this king leave loopholes? The Queen of Darkness said: "This king has left an iron rule for this space - even if there is a soul that can resist the ****, it must become a little angel." ”

Li Qing was confused: "What is the truth of your iron rule?" ”

The Queen of Darkness said as a matter of course, "It's not a reason, it's just an order. This king issued such an order, and this space had to be executed. ”

Li Qing Khan: "Since such an unreasonable order has been formulated, it was the little angels who lined up to welcome and sprinkle flowers and sing, why did you make such a gimmick?" ”

"Of course, I'm going to play with foreign souls." The tone of the Dark Queen is still a matter of course!

"Is this the brutal logic of evil creatures?" Li Qing suddenly rolled his eyes wildly and complained secretly: "No wonder Aya said that you are the greatest evil, the strongest darkness." She was right......"

Under the severing of flowers by the little angels, Li Qing followed the Dark Queen through the sixth floor and came to the seventh floor of the Black Tower.

The seventh floor of the Black Tower is also obviously a space that leaves no room for choice.

There was nothing in this space, only a huge black hole that took up the entire space.

The black hole swirls like a whirlpool, generating an unrivaled suction. Any soul that is sucked in by the space will be crushed into slag in an instant, turning into a part of the black hole, continuing to enhance the power of the black hole.

This seventh layer of space is a pure test of soul power. The rules are simple and crude, if you are strong enough, you will pass, if you are not strong enough, you will die, there are not so many tricks.

However, the rules are simple and crude, and it does not mean that they are easy to pass. When passing through this layer, even the Queen of Darkness showed a little caution when she passed through the black hole.

Of course, if it were only the queen herself, there would be no need to pass through the black hole, and she would still be able to stride forward calmly.

The reason why there is a trace of caution is all because of Li Qing.

The power of this black hole is too strong, and in front of this black hole, the queen can't quietly suppress the power of the trap as before, and easily keep Li Qing safe. She had to be cautious and allocate more soul power to Li Qing in order to cover him and let him pass safely.

As for tampering with the rules with a wave of his hand like the previous sixth layer, the gains outweigh the losses.

The queen's soul power is also unprecedentedly weak. The previous rules of the sixth layer were too strange, and it was indeed not easy to pass if they were not changed. The queen simply consumed some soul power and gave Li Qing a demonstration lesson on tampering with the rules.

Now the rules of this black hole are simple and solid, perfect and flawless, and if you forcibly change it, it will consume more soul power. Not to mention the gains, not to mention, it may not be possible to change the good effect. After all, the power of this black hole is strong enough, and the Dark Queen is still quite satisfied with this, and decides to keep it as it is and continue to guard this level.

The path chosen by the Queen is the shortest one, taking only seven levels to reach the top of the Black Tower. Therefore, after escorting Li Qing through the black hole, the two appeared on the top floor of the Black Tower.

The area of the top floor of the Black Tower is no less than 300 square meters. In the center of the top floor, there stood the eyeball-like turquoise fireball.

At this moment, under the three-story tall turquoise fireball, there was a tall figure wrapped in black robes, waiting for the arrival of the Dark Queen and Li Qing with a waiting attitude.
