The sound of footsteps echoed in the corridor, and Duan Qing and several other people in the team were running on the stairs on the outer level of the tower. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

There was a short passage in the hole at the back of the closet, and several people later found a spiraling stone staircase in the secret passage. Why did they build the staircase in such a secret place, Duan Qing and the others had no time to think about it - from the time they ran up the stairs, the rumbling explosions outside and the breaking sound of the giant trees began to become clear, and in the gaps in the stone walls, large patches of dust were being shaken, making the entire tower feel crumbling.

"Christine, they still haven't come in, it seems that something is really going on outside, and if there is no error in the diary, it would be bad for them to come in......"

"But they're so strong, they should ......"

"That's the magicians of the Old Magic Empire!" Duan Qing waved his hand and interrupted Mengzhu's words: "And you have all seen all the things that have happened in the recent past period. It can now be concluded that ......"

Duan Qing looked at the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice: "In this place, there will be corresponding countermeasures against powerful forces, which is probably a mechanism similar to being strong when encountered." ”

The black-cloaked figure nodded.

"Since this thing works for us players, it should also work for NPCs, do you think that pair of sisters don't want to fight and sweep the forest, they probably have suffered losses, so they don't dare to make a rash move, from the first time we met Christine, we can see it. But now ......"

Duan Qing, who was running, pointed to the source of the voice outside the wall: "They are fighting." ”

"It's hard to imagine how the forest would react if a battle of their caliber broke out, but no matter what......

"We're going to be out of luck."

Duan Qing pointed to his nose, and then pointed at everyone: "The crux of the matter is that if we are in the general virtual game world, it is normal for such a special mechanism to rule the area, but ...... This is the free world. ”

"What's wrong with the free world, isn't it just a name......" Liu Qingniu had fallen into ignorance.

"Because it's a real free world, it's ......" Duan Qing paused for a moment, and then said word by word: "You can explain what happened here in any way, but you can't use reasons like 'game setting'." ”

"Such a strange forest cannot appear in reality. Now that it has 'really' appeared, there is naturally a reason for it...... Hmph, now it seems that the name of the Emerald Forest is indeed not wrong......"

The sound of running continued in the swirling corridor, but the silence still occupied everyone's side for a while, although they did not read it completely, but after knowing the contents of the diary, several people heard the name Jade again, and their feelings in their hearts were naturally different. After a while, it was Mengzhu who asked first: "In other words, all of them are the ...... of that jade stone."

"It's hard to say now, after all, more than a thousand years have passed, and although I don't know what era the so-called Phoenix calendar is, the room hasn't been damaged with the passage of time. But my gut tells me that a long time has passed here, and God knows what has become of that emerald stone and what effect it has done to this forest......"

"There's a lot of unthinkable things going on in this forest right now, and it's going to be devastating. Freya was probably aware of this when she came over before, so instead of acting rashly, she asked her sister to send us in and let us take care of it. ”

After running for a long time, even Duan Qing, who had more than a dozen points of strength, began to breathe: "At present, my speculation is probably like this, everything else, when we climb to the top of the tower, it should be revealed." It's a bit long, so we've had a few rests......"

Due to the setting of the stamina bar, except for the two high-level players Snow Spirit Phantom Ice and Broken Mountain, no one else can maintain a long period of high-intensity exercise, so every time they climb, they have to stop for a while to wait for their stamina to recover - although this time often only takes a few seconds.

After climbing the stairs for so long, Duan Qing and the others had never seen a fork in the road, and naturally they had never seen what the other floors of this tower looked like. It seems that this secret passage is probably a through train from the ground floor to a certain floor, and whether it leads directly to the top floor depends on their luck.

"To sum up, even Christine and Freya can't give full play to their strength, because this forest ......"

"Probably, it's all speculation now, and we can't predict whether they have the strength to compete, and we don't even know if they can see it......"

"We can all see that they are so powerful, we must be able to see it......"

"That's not easy to say, we are players, we use the thinking of games, they are the result of light brain computing, not a world thing......"

"I remember the first time we saw the big sister in blue, and she did run away later......"

"Hey, that big guy over there, you didn't encounter anything strange when you came, can you help us verify the current conclusion?"

"Hey, I'm not called a big guy. And I've already said everything I've encountered. Do you want to hear the story of how your Wings of Freedom ambushed us, or do you want us to settle the account now......

"You know she doesn't mean that, second master...... Well, Broken Mountain, apart from that uncle who is proficient in all eighteen weapons, what other strange NPCs have you encountered......"

"By the way, have you met Trick? Uh, someone who seems to be Trick......"

"Who's that? Can you come and ...... sentence by sentence?"

The abrupt light appeared in front of their eyes in this noisy atmosphere. Broken Mountain, who was running at the front, was stunned by the sudden light, and then was hit by the people rushing up from behind, and fell into the room in front of him in two steps.

It could no longer be called a room, its ceiling was half collapsed, a large number of stone bricks were scattered here and there, and the gloomy sky appeared in the large hollow above, although it was not large enough to take up the whole view, but it still illuminated everything in the room.

Duan Qing flashed forward in two steps, and subconsciously looked towards the bare air.

"Wow......"

"This ......"

"Tut-tut......"

Several people let out different exclamations. In their field of vision, above the hollow, was the tall body of the Emerald Tower, which they had seen outside.

But this time, they saw it from the inside—the inside of the tower was hollow, and there was nothing in it except for the thin gray stone brick walls.

Except for the ladder.

In the eyes of Duan Qing and the others, countless stairs were intertwined, entangled, and constantly extended upwards and again until there was no end in sight. The Emerald Tower was tall from the outside, and now they were so upturned that their necks were about to break, but they still couldn't see where the top of the tower was.

Perhaps it was because of the age, the stone walls leaked streaks of light, and in some places there were large and small holes. Pillars of light of varying lengths and thicknesses crisscross the inner side of the stone walls, illuminating the wooden or stone staircases, and intertwining with those steps, giving the entire interior of the tower a blurry light.

In fact, it looks almost like a perfect labyrinth.

"Such a structure...... How did it stand up, it's too unscientific......" Xue Lingphantom Ice seemed to be talking to herself, and as if she was asking her companion next to her.

"Don't dwell on such a question, the entire Emerald Forest is not normal, as the center of this forest, of course it will be here...... Even more abnormal. It was Duan Qing who spoke, and Xue Lingphantom Ice looked at him and found that the person had stopped looking at the wonderful scene in front of him, but had begun to inspect the things in the room on this floor.

Perhaps because of the damage above, this place is clearly different from the previous room - the ancient aura is not here, and decay has returned to the world here. Duan Qing looked around, there were broken bricks and tiles, scattered pieces of wood, collapsed staircase walls, and all kinds of utensils shattered all over the place—time had completely destroyed this place, and it was completely impossible to see the original appearance of this place.

Opposite the entrance they had entered, there was an equally decaying wooden door, leading to some other place. On their side, there was a stone staircase, but only half of it was left, and the other half above did not know where it went. There were obvious cracks in the section of the stone steps, Duan Qing looked at those cracks for a long time before he said, "It seems that this is still not the top ......"

"You're not talking nonsense......" Xue Lingphantom Ice rolled her eyes.

Duan Qing shook his head, and just as he was about to say something, the sound of breaking wind came from above.

A black shadow suddenly appeared in the hole above, and several people looked up when they heard the sound, but before they could see the appearance of the thing, the black shadow dodged and disappeared. Duan Qing hadn't figured out what was going on, and a burning sensation came to his face.

In the hollow above, the gloomy sky was getting brighter and brighter, and the entire floor of the room was scorching.

A huge fireball flew in an instant, and at the moment when it was about to hit the tower, the spherical flame suddenly disintegrated on its own, and then turned into a spark in the sky, just like a ball of wool that pulled out the wool in an instant. Wisps of flame dispersed from there in strips, flew, and flew out in the other direction.

The high temperature felt at that moment just now slowly dissipated, and even so, everyone was still sweating, and they didn't know if it was hot or frightened by the scene just now.

A few people were just about to take a breath when another figure flashed above the hollow again.

Everyone's nerves tensed again, and then relaxed—the figure, dressed in a gorgeous blue robe.

The figure stood still in the air, staff in hand, raised in front of him, and slowly spread it from left to right. In front of her, huge walls of ice formed there, shining in the air with a water-blue light.

"Guys, you should have an idea of what's going on." The elegant voice belonging to Christine was accompanied by the explosion on the side, echoing in the small floor, Duan Qing could hear that the great magician, who had always shown infinite charm, had not lost her calmness at this time: "Since you have seen what is in front of you, then ......"

There was a crisp cracking sound, and in front of her, a corner of the huge ice wall was suddenly broken up and shattered. The wall was tumbling downward, turning into bits of blue light in the air, and finally disappearing into the air. The players below hurriedly defended themselves, for fear that some deadly attack would suddenly smash in front of them, but the blue-robed woman in the air was still very calm, and the next moment she even turned around and looked at the hole in the top of the room on this side of the tower. The gorgeous robe flew slightly in the air as she turned, revealing the smooth and white calves inside the Great Magician, and then disappeared from everyone's sight again as the robe fell.

"Oh, this angle is really good......" Duan Qing said with a sigh. When Mengzhu stood next to him with an inexplicable expression, Xue Lingxuan said softly with a cold face: "Pervert ......"

"I know you have a lot of questions, but our situation is ...... Stalemate, you see it too. Christine kept a mage's smile and said to the team in the cavity below, "So I'll just get to the point. ”

She suddenly raised her hand back, and a blue light appeared, followed by a crisp sound, probably something coming from that direction, and then blocked by her ice wall: "What you see is a labyrinth, and its actual appearance is different from what you see now. If you plan to walk through it, you will probably soon get lost in the endless space. ”

"In our world of magicians, we used to call this phenomenon the Endless Labyrinth, an ancient spell handed down."

Several players held their breath and didn't dare to let go of every word she said now, but just like Christine said just now, there really wasn't much that the situation in front of her could allow her to do.

"I'm sorry, you won't get any real help other than what I'm telling you now......" At this point, she touched her face with one hand and put on a sad look: "What a shame......

There was another loud crunch on the huge ice wall behind her, and the entire ice wall became crumbling.

"We ...... We have an idea of the dire situation, dear lady. Duan Qing stroked his chest and said, then raised his head: "But don't worry, we will solve the problem at the top of the tower." ”

He smiled: "It's our responsibility as adventurers, and at the same time...... Your hope, too, isn't it? ”

"So, among these younger siblings, you are my favorite." The woman in the blue robe looked very happy, and even shook her arm excitedly, as if to cheer them on: "I am very confident in you, you will definitely be able to break through these shackles and reach the top...... Dead old man, you're so annoying! ”

The woman suddenly turned around, grabbed the staff and swung it forward, and there was a loud noise in the distance, as if it was somewhere that had been attacked by her anger.

"Are you sure we're going to have a good end......" Xue Lingphantice asked quietly, covering her mouth.

"Uh...... Anyway, there's no way back, whatever. Duan Qing wiped his cold sweat and replied.

"Well, one last tip: if you decide to go up, then remember to ...... as you move forward. Don't trust your eyes. ”

Christine finished saying this without looking back, and in the air in front of her, the huge ice wall finally slowly collapsed in a thousand holes. She shook her right hand, pulled a beautiful cane flower, and just wanted to fly back to the battlefield when Duan Qing's shout sounded behind her.

"Miss Archmagician! I also have a ...... Professional questions. ”

In the void above, the blue-robed figure could no longer be seen, but Christine's voice still came: "Time is limited...... What more do you want to know? ”

In the room with the zenith wide open, several people's eyes were focused on Duan Qing's body, as if they were all waiting for him to ask some key question, but Duan Qing cleared his throat and asked a question that none of them expected.

"Excuse me, what is the Planck effect?"

The few people in the back opened their mouths wide, with an expression of "unaware of it".

"Huh...... I don't know why, but ......" Christine's voice began to get farther and farther away: "For example, think of that Trick ...... you met"

"I see." Duan Qing whispered, and then shouted, "You guys, be careful." ”

No response.

A smile appeared on Christine's face, and then she waved her right hand sharply. In front of her, there was another muffled sound, and in the dissipation of the blue light, a silent attack was unloaded by her again.

"I have faith in you, you ...... Have faith in us, too......"

She whispered.

"It seems...... You're in a good mood, ahem......"

In a canopy below, the thin figure of Convina finally revealed a corner: "Although your communication is going well, whether things go well after that depends on their performance......"

"They'll do it." Christine said: "They are good adventurers......

"Adventurer...... Hehe, I see......" The old man's hoarse voice sounded so uncomfortable that even Christine frowned.

"Do you really think that just the two of you can protect them......

"It seems...... We were underestimated, oh hehehehe......"

The old man disappeared into the dense canopy again, and on the other side of the air, Christine raised her staff again. A huge explosion suddenly appeared in the woods on the other side, and a large red fireball belonging to another battlefield rose in the air, illuminating Christine's side face.

The battle is about to escalate.

"Do you really think, ahem...... Will we let those adventurers go free......"

"You say...... What the? ”

In the Emerald Tower, Duan Qing was still explaining something to the rest of the people. In front of them, the wooden door that had not been opened was kicked open with a "bang".

Several figures barged in.
