January 5, 795 New Calendar, weather, cloudy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Emerald Forest, around the Emerald Tower.

The rickety old man waved his hand and threw out a black mist, then floated away. Several giant beasts in front of them howled and rushed into the black mist, then fell to the ground screaming.

"Ahem, ahem...... Ahem......"

The old man's cough seemed to become more intense. Even a strong man like him began to show fatigue in the face of the tidal wave of attacks—he was not under as much pressure as he was when he fought with Sister Christine before.

The old man took out a colorful triangular medicine bottle from his arms, raised his head and poured it down, and while throwing the empty medicine bottle out, he waved his hand and sprinkled a black mist, and took a few deep breaths while several beasts that had been eroded by the black mist fell down again. He straightened up with all his might, his chest heaved violently, the feeling of rapidity slowly faded, and the coughing gradually stopped.

"My lord, your body ......" The man in black slashed a giant black spider that was rapidly approaching, and then approached and asked in a low voice.

"It doesn't matter." The old man, whose breathing had stabilized, waved his hand and looked up at the sky.

At this time, the sky above the forest was already full of many strange birds. Some of them have very wide wings, slender beaks, and sharp claws, which are not good at first glance; Some are petite and delicate, but they fly extremely fast, like a bullet that is constantly flying, circling through the gaps in the branches of the giant tree. Below them, all kinds of birds, insects, birds and beasts of all sizes have turned into an army of oceans, and they are continuing to pounce on the isolated islands in the two oceans.

"It's almost ...... here There is no place to stand. The old man's tone remained calm, as if the situation had not yet reached the level of crisis: "Even the sky...... have become extremely dangerous. ”

"Look around, and if there's no way, ..... Go to the water's edge. ”

There's only one place at the water's edge, and that's the river that flows to the Emerald Tower.

The man in black nodded, then was caught by the sound of an explosion on the other side.

A flaming dragon streaked across the sky.

It was not a dragon of flames, but a true line of flames that began to burn from one spot, intertwined into beautiful lines in the air, and finally cut through the sky and ended up in another place far away. The connected flames formed a magnificent wall, which burned and jumped in the air for a long time, and then slowly extinguished.

"Such an orderly flame ......" the old man glanced at it, and then slowly walked back with his body bent. The man in black waved his hands continuously, and forced back a black tiger that pounced up, protecting the old man and gradually retreating. On another isolated island not far away, countless cold air was silently condensing and then exploding.

The island became an Iceland, and the scorching heat in the air was dispelled in an instant.

"They do...... Deserved. ”

The old man looked up at the tower not far away, and then whispered, "It seems that our children ...... Failed. ”

He coughed again, then took an overcoat from the man in black, and slowly draped it over himself, resisting the cold that spread over there.

He took out a brown gem from his arms and threw it on the ground, the other half of this sound transmission stone, which should have been on Qing Pingle's body, was now dimmed: "This kind of ...... The feeling of being in the hands of someone else's destiny is very ......"

"It's embarrassing."

A rustling sound sounded in the distance.

The two looked back into the forest in the distance. Among the giant trees standing upright, on the original yellow land, there are insects that are gradually spreading, covering, and dyeing the ocean that was constantly rushing forward black.

It was a sea of death, and everywhere it passed, there was no grass, and in the distant forest, you could even see the huge canopy of trees falling down with a creaking sound.

The night man's eyes seemed to be good, and he looked over there for a moment, then whispered to the old man, "It's a black beetle." ”

"So...... Unknown creatures. The old man whispered to himself, "Is it ...... Does it foreshadow today's fate......"

He looked at the two figures, one blue and one red, not far away, and then looked up at the gloomy sky.

Retracting her gaze from the gloomy sky, Freya asked the blue-robed figure: "Sister, it seems that a black beetle is approaching ......"

"I see it, dear sister." Christine's voice remained calm, but her posture remained the same as before. Her hands were stretched out, her staff held in front of her, and her body was radiating a blue magical glow that belonged to the water elemental.

In front of her, the icy cold air continued to spread outward, and the beasts in this icy area had been frozen into ice sculptures, maintaining a forward posture, standing motionless.

"The forest is revolting even stronger." Christine sighed: "Although we can still resist it now, but this force will definitely get stronger and stronger, if ......"

She paused, then continued, "If all the creatures we met before came over, we might ......."

"Sister-sama......" Freya's flat voice became a little muffled.

"Don't be discouraged, my sweet sister." Christine's voice softened again, as if they were not facing a death frenzy now: "Those lovely adventurers are still fighting inside, and I'm sure they will be able to do it." ”

She chuckled, then gave up the spell and walked backwards with Freya, "That's our hope......"

"Stand back now, defend along the river, we'll hold on."

*************

Duan Qing and his group began to move forward more and more difficult, not only because their path was becoming more and more complicated, but also because of ...... Monster attacks began to appear all around.

Originally a few bugs that flew out of nowhere, they are small but extremely fast, and can also damage the player if they are hit in the face or other vital parts. The most important thing is that this kind of interference will affect their upward crawling movements, Ah Niu once almost accidentally fell off the steps because of his irritability to drive away these insects, if it wasn't for the broken mountain to pull him from behind, this team of five people would have been reduced again.

But then, everyone began to run wildly despite the attacks—a slender green figure sticking out of the cracks in the surrounding walls, and then gradually spreading through the stone walls. The stone gray walls gradually turn green as they spread, and the next moment they turn yellow, and some needles grow rapidly on them.

"it......" everyone made the same sound, and then ...... Start running wild.

The next moment, a dense sound of shooting sounded throughout the tower.

Thinking and questions were temporarily abandoned, and everyone did not dare to stop for a moment, competing for life and death with the green spreading upward. At their feet and on the stone steps behind them, the sound of tuk tuk was incessant, and in the minds of these people, it was like the footsteps of death.

Duan Qing didn't even have time to look back, the stone road that had turned into a hedgehog.

"Looks like we're coming to the end." Duan Qing shouted angrily, otherwise his voice would be drowned out in the dense sound of nails: "This is the last resistance of this tower, as long as you survive here......"

"Don't just put up a flag for yourself, okay!" Snow Spirit Phantom Ice said loudly in front of him.

"Hey, I don't say that, do you want to say hurry up and throw yourself into the arms of death......" Duan Qing was still joking.

There was an unknown number of forks in the road ahead, but this time it was in three directions, and the strangest of them was a stone staircase, which led horizontally to the opposite wall. A few people didn't have time to think about how this stone step was suspended in the air, they just wanted to continue to avoid the invasion of death and climb higher heights, so when Snow Spirit Phantom Ice took the lead and picked a random path, the others quickly followed.

Luck didn't seem to be on their side this time, and the stone staircase didn't take long to break after extending upwards.

Higher up ahead, the shadow of the staircase was still embedded in the stone wall, spiraling towards an unknown height, presumably the back part of the staircase, but it didn't matter where it extended at this point—the part that was supposed to exist around the circular wall in the middle seemed to be missing because of the collapse. Xue Lingphantom Ice stopped abruptly and stopped in front of the broken part, the panic in his eyes had not faded, and he seemed to be unable to accept the facts in front of him.

As a result of her stopping, Mengzhu and Duan Qing in the rear also stopped. Ah Niu didn't seem to expect the person in front of him to stop, and hit Duan Qing's back headfirst: "Ouch......"

"What should I do......" Xue Lingphantom Ice was still muttering to herself, but time didn't leave her much choice.

The sound of nails below was getting closer and closer, and next to the wall where several people were standing, new vines were slowly growing, maturing, and then giving birth to deadly needles. The voice of the broken mountain in the rear also became anxious: "Hey, hurry up and find a way, otherwise we people will jump up first......"

Ah Niu clenched his teeth and didn't make a sound, but Mengzhu shouted: "Do you want to throw us ......?"

"Let's go." Duan Qing said suddenly.

The surrounding yellow-brown needles are ripe, and thousands of needle buds are gradually bulging. Xue Lingphantom Ice is still hesitant and confused: "Are you ...... too?"

"I mean moving forward!" Duan Qing shouted. "Don't hesitate!"

Xue Lingphantom Ice looked back, Duan Qing's eyes were full of determination.

"Trust me."

At the break in the stone steps, several small gravel is falling in a torrent. The sound of nails was about to come to the body, and Xue Lingbing gritted his teeth and turned his head, and then jumped forward.

Seeing the figure that was about to fall in front of her, Mengzhu, who was behind her, closed her eyes in fright, and then was picked up by Duan Qing and rushed forward.

The black-cloaked woman stared down at her in amazement—she was levitating in the air. There was nothing under her feet, but she could feel what she was stepping on. When she jumped out and thought she was going to fall, she almost tripped over the stone steps and fell to the ground.

"This is ......" She was half-kneeling on the ground, still wondering in her heart, Duan Qing behind her stepped diagonally and crossed over her head: "What are you doing, run!" ”

Xue Lingphantasm Ice settled down, and finally understood something about what was going on. She struggled to get up and began to climb in the air, and at the same time there were anxious cries from Broken Mountain and Liu Qingniu running: "Die, die, die......."

Running wildly on the invisible steps is actually a bit difficult, but fortunately, the characters in the free world, as long as they have a few attributes, are no longer normal people, they can make a lot of unconventional movements, and the slight imbalance under their feet can be corrected quickly. Besides, the situation is so critical, everyone is bursting out of their potential.

"Remember what Christine said to us before?" Duan Qing, who was running, put Mengzhu down, and the little girl also blushed a little, but she didn't say anything in a hurry.

She said...... Don't believe the ...... eyes," Xue Lingphanta said in a deep voice.

"Does that mean what we're seeing now is all an illusion?" Broken Mountain shouted from behind.

"Hey, if you want to go back and try the authenticity of those needle, I won't stop you......" Duan Qing slowed down slightly, relieving the consumption of physical strength. Among the three players who are close to the strength of a novice, he is the only one who has this awareness, Mengzhu was hugged by Duan Qing for a while, and he looked fine, but Ah Niu behind him was already out of breath, and his speed had seriously decreased.

"The construction route of these stairs should be completely fixed, but on the surface it looks like a mess." Duan Qing explained: "The road I chose before was basically rotating in the same direction, so I ......"

"If there's a broken road ahead, it must be deceiving us, right?" Xue Lingxue nodded a little knowingly.

The sound of nails in the back was still following, but now it was Duan Qing running at the front. In front of him, the staircase suddenly increased in angle, as if it were a ladder on everyone's path.

"I'm afraid of you!"

Duan Qing hit his head over, and then his entire body passed through the phantom and continued to run in the air.

"Roar, roar, roar!" A few people in the back let out a roar of excitement, feeling like they were stepping in Lingbo.

However, it was not long before a dull roar came from above the crowd, and several people looked up, and a huge head smashed through somewhere in the stone wall of the tower, and then stretched out.

The stones fell like rain, and Xue Lingbing covered his head and groaned, "Oh my God......"

Duan Qing sneered: "It seems that the system doesn't want this road to be too smooth......"

The one that appeared above was the giant snake that had wiped out the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice before.

"Hey, why is it here......" Mengzhu's voice trembled a little, but Broken Mountain had never seen it: "Is this snake very powerful?" ”

"Look at the expression of Snow Ling's phantom ice...... Before, their team had all died at its hands. ”

"Tsk, I feel miserable when I hear it......"

Although the two of them were still talking and laughing, the situation in front of them had reached the most sinister level. The snake seemed to recognize a few of the five people in front of it, and then with a roar, a fierce man stabbed down from above.

Broken Mountain roared, pulling Ah Niu behind him to leap forward, and it was able to avoid its impact range. With a loud rumbling sound, the stone steps where they had been standing had been smashed to pieces, and stone chips of all sizes were scattered in all directions.

"Such a fierce ......" secretly wiped his cold sweat, threw Ah Niu away from the mountain, and then walked forward quickly: "Think of a way, we are being attacked from front to back!" ”

"It's okay, it's coming soon." Ahead, Duan Qing raised his fingers-

High in the distance, a stone gray belonging to the rock, through the vague phantom light, faintly appeared there. It was usually everywhere, but now all of them saw it like they had seen it as if it had been the last straw.

That's a ceiling.
