Chapter 48: The Mechanism in the Dragon King's Tower
Black! It's so dark that you can't see your fingers.
This was Hua Jiu's first reaction after entering, and she didn't dare to take a step forward for a long time when she couldn't see anything. Because the first floor of the tower is closed, all the windows are closed, and even the moonlight cannot shine in.
Xu had the same reaction as her, and the thieves took out the fire folds that had been prepared long ago, and instantly a small area was bright.
Through the faint point of light, Hua Jiu realized that there was nothing on the first floor, only a staircase leading to the second floor.
No way? None of them?! She had heard Lou Xiaoyue say that every floor here was guarded by organs, and when she looked at it again, she suddenly felt weird.
At this time, the thieves have already gone to the second layer, and if they don't hurry, the light will disappear, and they will have to face a dark layer again. So she cautiously moved towards the stairs, then took a deep breath and followed them towards the second floor, all of them were safe, and there was no special movement.
The second floor was noticeably brighter than the first, and the windows around it were all open, and the moonlight came in from the outside and cast onto the walls of the tower.
There is a row of bookshelves here, which are full of Buddhist scriptures, and everyone has come to read them for a long time, and there is a musty smell, which makes people can't help but cover their mouths and noses.
Hua Jiu hid behind one of the rows of bookshelves, watching the movements of those people through the cracks. She thought it would be better for them to go ahead and explore the way first, so that if they touched something, they could dodge it.
"Boss, there are so many books here, why don't you take a few and sell them back?" One of them, who was a little fatter, said, and then saw the masked man he called the boss fly over, slap him heavily on the head, and then roared:
"You are stupid, these scriptures are worthless, and don't touch anything here casually, touch any mechanism, your few lives are not enough to die."
"Yes, yes, that's what the boss said."
Hua Jiu listened carefully, and then casually opened a Buddhist book in front of him, with neat handwriting on it, and a large number of Buddhist teachings were written.
"It's no different from a normal book." She pouted and muttered to herself.
Then, the men walked to the third floor, and when she saw it, she immediately put down the book in her hand and followed.
Neither the first nor the second floor has any unusual movements, is this really illogical, or is it that there are no traps on the first and second floors? If that's the case, then there's definitely something wrong with the third layer.
And so the much-anticipated third layer arrived.
After climbing a few steps, Hua Jiu found that the front was slowly brightening, not the white and soft brightness of the moonlight, but the dim light and shadow of bright yellow.
As expected, when it came to the third floor, it was all changed, and candles were lit all around, brightly illuminating the entire Dragon King Tower. There are no more stairs leading to the top, and there are no attics, and when you look up, you can almost go straight to the top. I saw that in the center, a golden dragon statue was entrenched here, and the dragon body was huge and magnificent.
If you look closely, the dragon has a staircase made of chains that leads to the top floor, and the other end of the chain is all wrapped around a few corners of the tower wall, and it looks very terrifying, as if a person standing on it will fall down at any time.
You're not going to climb from this dragon to the top, are you?! Hua Jiu thought secretly, and couldn't help but shrink back.
These chain ladders are wobbly, and people with a little poor balance will definitely not be able to cross two floors before they will slide down, and if they fall from one of them, they will definitely break their bones, and they will be crippled if they don't die.
It was terrifying, she didn't want to go up, so she hid aside as usual, observing the movements of the people.
The thieves were not intimidating, and did not tremble at all because they climbed up from the dragon's body, and one of them immediately took the lead. I saw him tugging on the chain with both hands, crawling up step by step, his thick arms full of strength. After a while, he climbed up to the dragon's tail, which was supposed to be the fourth layer. Seeing that there was no danger, the remaining few people followed behind and began to climb up.
Five thieves, all of whom were relatively large, climbed the ladder at the same time, causing the chains around them to shake violently, making a 'click' sound.
Several people crawled forward, and after a circle in the sky, they finally came to the fifth floor. At this time, Hua Jiu below was a little impatient, and she was a little nervous when she saw them climbing higher and higher and farther away from her.
In case, let them get the treasure first, then wouldn't they come for nothing?!
Thinking of this, she felt that something was wrong, so she gritted her teeth and walked towards the dragon. First he reached out and tugged at the chain to see if the knot was strong, then he looked up at the height, and then he hesitated.
Is it important to have a treasure or a small life? She began to struggle, and after a little struggle, she finally climbed up.
"Boom-boom-"
Just as her feet were off the ground, suddenly the whole dragon's body trembled, and she saw several small holes suddenly appear in the ground, and she saw that something sharp was about to emerge from it.
Hua Jiu was startled, knowing that this was not a good omen, so he hurriedly climbed up, and then jumped directly forward, jumping onto the dragon's tail.
'Whoosh-whoosh-' said too late and then as quickly as she followed, and several wooden arrows came up from the ground.
Hua Jiu hid on the dragon's tail, his back tightly attached to the dragon's body, so as not to be injured by the sudden hidden weapon, but the above few were not so lucky.
"Third child, what did you run into?!"
"When I was climbing, I accidentally pulled a piece of dragon scales......"
"Get out of the way, it's useless."
…………
Several people made a noise, and while accusing each other, they picked up the large knife at their waist and slashed at the wooden arrows. After the blows were one by one, everyone took a deep breath, secretly thinking that it was really thrilling just now.
"You have to be careful, don't run into the trap again." The leader turned around and said to the people next to him, and everyone nodded in agreement.
Hua Jiu also pinched a sweat underneath, it really scared her to death just now, but fortunately, she reacted quickly and ran quickly, so she wouldn't be shot. So, after resting for a long time, she sorted out her state, and then began to climb up again. Like a monkey, arched, very funny.
Soon came to the fourth floor, followed by the fifth and sixth floors. The thieves had slowly made their way to the seventh floor.
No, they must not be allowed to get it first!
Thinking of this, she quickly quickened her pace, and she came to the sixth floor in a few jumps.
