Chapter 71 Breaking the Tower (II)
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! Smack......"
Just listen to the crisp sound one after another, after each sound, there will be a golden Arhat whose mechanism will be hit by internal force, and every time it hits, it will make a golden Arhat lose its effect and become a scrap metal. There were a total of eighteen golden-bodied Arhats in the room, and this sound sounded a total of eighteen times.
"Oops!"
When the eighteen rings rang locally, the man with his fingers shouted terrible, causing everyone to be nervous.
Just when everyone opened their mouths to ask, the cloth bag Arhat in the corner suddenly moved, and the joints of his body creaked and crunched, and he walked to the staircase step by step. It stared at the crowd with a pair of metal eyes with small black holes, and its expression made of gold water looked indescribably strange at this time.
"I'm sorry, I didn't learn well, I just missed." The man with his fingers said apologetically.
The position of the mechanism on the cloth bag Arhat was too tricky, and it was only the size of a bean, and it was normal for it to deviate, and everyone did not blame that person. And now the touch is only a golden-bodied Arhat, the power is limited, and the combination of everyone is enough to deal with it easily.
The first strike is the strongest, the matter has come to this, everyone did not hesitate, and immediately rushed into the spacious house, forming an encirclement momentum, and surrounded the cloth bag Arhat in the middle. The cloth bag Arhat raised the cloth bag in his hand to the person in front of him, and from the metal bag, several sharp cold rays were spewed, and if the person hadn't dodged fast enough, he would have had to be shot into a sieve. As soon as the bag Arhat missed, he immediately twisted the mouth of the bag, and then aimed at another person, and the darts shot by the bag missed again, and all of them were nailed to the wall, and they went deep into it, which shows that the strength is extraordinary.
When the dart missed, everyone was already approaching the bag Arhat, and one by one they launched an attack with all their strength, raising their swords and falling down, slashing the bag Arhat into sparks. If it encounters ordinary gold and iron, with the strength of these people, it is enough to cut it with a sword, but this cloth bag Arhat is extremely strong, and the sword qi can only leave a dent on it, but it cannot be completely pierced.
Budai Arhat let go of one palm, and with one enemy, he unleashed an Arhat fist and fought with the surrounding people. Its move changes are far less ingenious than those of living people, it is just a complete set of Arhat Fists that are performed step by step, but in terms of speed and strength, it is by no means worse than ordinary martial artists, and at least it has the cultivation of the Eight Heavens.
If he fought alone, even Zhao Zheng would not dare to bully this cloth bag Arhat too much.
Seeing that it was difficult to have an effect on slashing ordinary parts, someone shouted and attacked the joints. Everyone felt justified, and immediately changed their offensive strategy, aiming at the joints around the cloth bag Arhat. These places are far more fragile than other parts, and a sword qi can cut off a joint, and it didn't take long for everyone to work together to chop this cloth bag Arhat into pieces.
The battle just now was very smooth, and everyone was not too threatened, thanks to the fact that there was only one golden-bodied Arhat, if several golden-bodied Arhats were on it together, everyone would probably not be so easy.
After defeating the Arhat, everyone rested for a while, climbed the stairs, and climbed to the fourth floor of the Crazy Sword Tower.
This floor also has a dangerous and special mechanism ambush, the entire floor is full of heavy metal movable doors, as soon as you enter, you will be blocked by a door, there is an exit on each side, people who break into the tower, you have to choose your own path, after choosing, the door will move on its own, seal the original road, and then reveal a new road. There are 9981 movable doors on this floor**, which combine into a single whole, full of countless variations, like a complex labyrinth. If you choose the wrong direction, you will trigger dangerous traps, and if you violently hit those moving doors, you will also trigger traps.
The space in front of the door and behind the door is extremely narrow, only one person can pass through, and everyone can't walk in together, so they can only send a person with higher strength to explore the way first. This person said goodbye to everyone, stepped forward first, held the road map in his hand, and walked forward step by step according to the above, which can be described as a step by step, for fear of making a mistake.
When a person walks in, the movable doors of the entire floor will change frequently, blocking out the others. The crowd stayed where they were, anxiously waiting, and after a stick of incense, they finally heard the reply of the pathfinder, who had reached the staircase safely.
The movable door on this floor seems to have been restored, and it has changed back to its original appearance, flashing out two paths, one left and one right. With one person who managed to break through, everyone had the confidence in their hearts, and walked into the floor one by one, following the only route to the staircase.
It took some time for all five of them to reach the top of the stairs, gather together, and continue to move upward. In the process since then, everyone has been breaking through one floor after another. Although these floors are dangerous, once you know how to break them, it is much easier to walk through, as easy as opening a door with a key.
In this way, everyone made it all the way to the eighth floor of the Blade Tower. There is a mad knife desperate array in this floor, and the whole room has built a full three hundred and twenty-one metal pillars on the left and right, and the pillars carry several sharp Tang knives, once people get close to here, these pillars will use the root mechanism to move on their own, and the Tang knives on the pillars will also rotate rapidly.
Lu Wen explained very clearly before that this eighth layer is the most dangerous layer in the entire tower, and it must not be taken lightly. If you want to pass through here safely, you can only honestly take the only route, and if you go wrong, you will be disorganized.
As everyone approached, the pillars began to move on their own, making a rumbling sound, and the Tang knives also spun around, making a sharp and piercing sound of breaking the air, and the two sounds were intertwined, making people's scalps tingle to hear. Everyone stopped and stood, took out the road map of this level, looked at it several times together, deepened their memory, and then sent a pathfinder, who walked into the cold light of the knife bush first.
The route map is all close to those pillars, which means that people have to walk close to those rapidly rotating Tang knives, and the distance between the tip of the knife and the person is only an inch!
The distance between a person and the tip of a knife is like the distance between life and death, and walking past those knife tips is tantamount to a huge sense of oppression, enough to overwhelm people!
What's even more terrifying is that those pillars have been in a state of motion, which makes the so-called safe route change all the time, people want to pass safely, they have to follow the pace of the pillars, if they go slowly, or go fast, they will miss the opportunity, or they will trigger the mechanism, and be slashed by those wild dancing Tang knives.
The Pathfinder walked more carefully than ever, every step had to be carefully calculated, carefully following the pace of the pillar, step by step. After three full incense sticks, the man made his way through the knife bush and reached the staircase on the opposite side. Even though this person's cultivation is quite high, he was also frightened by this trip, and after passing, his face was already covered with cold sweat.
Next, everyone walked into the Crazy Sword Desperate Array in turn, and reached the staircase one by one. Zhao was the last to walk over, and like the people in front of him, he was also under a lot of pressure, but with the lessons of the past, he was always more at ease than others.
Everyone stood at the top of the staircase, looked up together, and then looked at each other.
There are nine floors in the Crazy Sword Tower, and now it has reached the eighth floor, but there is still no trace of Fang Xiaorou, or the figure of other people, which is really a bit strange. There are only two scenarios at the moment, one is that the person who infiltrated the tower is on the ninth floor, and the second is that the person who infiltrated the tower has already escaped.
If it is the first case, everyone can still accept it, but if it is the second case, everyone will be angry. The Taishan faction has spent so much manpower and material resources this time, if it doesn't even catch a single figure, it will be a great loss. If it really develops to that point, the head of Jintai will definitely not give up, and he will definitely continue to ask for people from the Three Swords Sect!
If the person who infiltrated the tower was on the ninth floor, it would probably be unfavorable to everyone, Zhao Zheng and the others warned each other, and then cheered up and walked up the stairs together.
The stairs on the eight floors below are often hidden mysteries that require special methods to pass through. But this staircase is the only one that has no mechanism, and you can go up directly. This is naturally what Lu Wen told everyone before, after what happened just now, everyone has completely believed in the method of breaking the tower provided by Lu Wen, and walked up boldly with confidence.
When they reached the corner of the stairs, Zhao Zheng and the others held their breath, slowed down, and became tiptoeing. It took a long time for everyone to walk this short distance. When they turned the corner and reached the stairs on the other side, the speed of the crowd slowed down a little again.
Zhao Zheng followed behind, his ears were magnified, and he listened to the wind and grass on the ninth floor, but he couldn't hear anything, the ninth floor was quiet, and there seemed to be no living people.
I couldn't hear anything abnormal, but I could smell some anomalies, and there was a rancid smell wafting from the ninth floor, which was obviously the smell of the corpse after it had decomposed. Due to the death and even severed limbs in the previous levels, there was a similar smell, but it was nowhere near as strong as the smell on this floor.
"Could it be that there's a dead man up there?" Zhao Zheng frowned, having this guess in his heart.
The answer was revealed as everyone walked to the end of the staircase, and sure enough, just as Zhao Zheng expected, on the ground on this floor, there was a corpse full of holes, all of which were full of uniform holes. This corpse was wearing a night suit, with a graceful figure, although the body had decayed, it could still be seen that the deceased was the female anniversary, Fang Xiaorou!
Judging from the more than twenty wounds in the holes, it was obvious that the wounds were caused by traps, and there were also blood stains corresponding to their location on the walls and floors around this floor.
Eight of the nine floors of the Blade Tower have a way to crack it, except for the ninth floor, which is an insoluble layer, once you enter this small spire space, you will be penetrated by the sharp cones hidden around, and there is no hope of survival.
The Three Swords Sect always claims that the treasures in the sect are hidden in this ninth layer, in fact, this is a big lie, there is nothing in this ninth layer except for the mechanism, if there is a thief who tries to steal the treasure believes this nonsense, he will definitely lose his life here.
The treasures of the Three Swords Sect were actually hidden in another place, but Lu Wen did not reveal it to the people of the Taishan faction, and the people of the Taishan faction only wanted to break the tower, so they didn't ask much. At most, Lu Wen only warned everyone not to go to the ninth floor, at most they could only stay at the top of the stairs, and once they got close, they would have to worry about their lives!
On the surface, Fang Xiaorou obviously escaped into this layer, and then fell into an ambush and died here. But after a little thought, you will find that this is definitely not the case, firstly, Fang Xiaorou should not flee here even if she escapes, and secondly, no matter how strong Fang Xiaorou's strength is, it should not exceed the Nine Heavens, and it is impossible to reach this ninth layer all the way through many mechanisms with her own strength. It is logical to think that it must be the Three Swords Sect in order to calm down the incident, and at the same time to avoid future troubles, so they killed Fang Xiaorou and threw her on the top of this tower. Doing so can not only kill Fang Xiaorou, give an explanation to the Taishan faction, but also give the Taishan faction a stumbling block, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!
Everyone stood at the top of the stairs, staring at the corpse that had been dead for many days, and their faces were stunned.
The living Fang Xiaorou couldn't catch it, but she caught it dead. Although the purpose of the trip had been achieved, everyone was not happy.
The dead can't be resurrected, and even if Fang Xiaorou is caught, he can't bring Le Zhi back to life.
The crowd was silent for a long time, and then one of them broke the silence and said something very simple: "Take the corpse and go." ”
Before coming, someone had already thought of this outcome, so two extra-large sacks were prepared for these five people, enough to fit the corpses of people into them. The five of them used the usual "flying grasping hundred chain ropes" to hook Fang Xiaorou's corpse and pull it out, triggering the mechanism of the ninth floor in the process, only to see that countless cold rays were pierced from the upper and lower sides of the floor, and the cold rays were fast and fierce, flashing, like a giant mouth of a beast that closed quickly.
Fortunately, everyone was fast enough to pull the corpse out directly, without dragging mud and water, otherwise the corpse would definitely be hit by the mechanism again and become even more dilapidated. After a long time, this corpse has become ugly, and the big beauty of the past has become the rotten meat of today, which is really ironic.
The crowd put the body in a hemp bag, tied it up, carried it on the back of one person, and then walked down the stairs.
Zhao Zheng walked at the back, thinking about his thoughts as he walked. broke the entire tower, finally solved an important matter, got Fang Xiaorou's body, and could be regarded as having an explanation. The contradiction between the Taishan faction and the Three Swords Sect this time should be resolved a lot, at least it will not be as-for-tat as it was seven days ago. This result was exactly what he wanted, and he finally put his mind at ease at this time.
"Crunch!"
Zhao was walking on the stairs, and there were inevitably some sounds under his feet, which suddenly reminded him of something, the treasures in this building happened to be hidden in the stairs under his feet!
In order to set up a suspicious array, the Three Swords Sect deliberately claimed that the treasures were hidden on the ninth floor, but in fact they were hidden in the secret compartment of the staircase between the eighth and ninth floors, so there was no trap here, and it was safe to pass through. Opening the hidden compartment of this staircase is actually very simple, just step on a few of them.
This matter was not told to him by Lu Wen, but he knew it for a long time, he had the experience of his previous life, he had a certain understanding of this tower, although he could not remember the detailed method of breaking the tower, but he remembered this most crucial point.
If you know that there are treasures here, how can you miss it?
The Three Swords Sect has been acting more and more unscrupulously in recent years, and it has done everything to the Taishan Sect, and there is really no need to be polite to the Three Swords Sect, and leaving with some treasures is just enough to punish the Three Swords Sect and make the Three Swords Sect feel a little pain.
If you take the treasure away and carry it on your body, you will definitely be discovered by the Three Swords Sect after leaving the tower, because the Three Swords Sect said before that it would search the people who came out of the tower. But Zhao Zheng doesn't have to worry like this, he has a system warehouse, and he can put all the treasures into the system warehouse, and outsiders can't notice it at all, even if he pries his mouth open, he can't find those treasures!
By the time the Three Swords Sect found out that the treasure was missing, the daylily was cold, and even if Zhao Zheng and the others were suspected, they couldn't come up with evidence! There is no way to use this as an excuse to find trouble with the Taishan faction, so I can only suffer a big dumb loss.
Zhao Zheng can take away the treasures here without any worries, make a lot of money, and get a foreign fortune. Thinking of this, his depressed mood immediately soared, and his heart pounded.
Thinking of this, Zhao Zheng deliberately slowed down and stayed on the stairs. He had to hide from these people to open the system warehouse, and he had to not let these people see his movements. If those Taishan sect elders were allowed to see his behavior, they would definitely force a stop and prevent him from touching the treasures here. So he was able to do it secretly.
Everyone didn't care about Zhao Zheng's behavior, and still walked forward, all the way to the other side. Zhao Zhengsuo stopped where he was, letting the people reach the next floor. When the men were far away, he walked up the stairs where the trap was and stepped on it heavily, coughing as he stepped down, muffling the sound of triggering it.
With this foot, the staircase sank a little like a piano key, touching some of the mechanisms.
Zhao just concocted it, and stepped on the other two mechanisms respectively, and after stepping on it three times in a row, he finally opened the door of the dark grid. I saw that the stairs halfway up the waist were raised up, as if a big mouth had been opened, and in that mouth, there was a small space, in which a Tang knife was prominently placed, as well as several large and small boxes!
This movement is not small, Zhao Zheng coughed several times in a row, cleverly covering up the sound of the dark grid opening.
"Zhao Zheng, why haven't you come down yet?" The voice of the sword slave came up from downstairs, and the person seemed to follow suit.
"Senior Sword Slave, my throat is a little tight, I coughed a few times, I'm about to go down, you don't have to worry. A few of you seniors will take the first step and disarm the mechanism of the eighth layer, and I will come later. Zhao Zheng's heart suddenly hung up, and he hurriedly covered it up.
"Okay, then you can hurry up, this is not a place to stay for long." The sword slave reminded him, and it seemed to fade away.
Zhao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly stepped up his movements, jumped into the hidden treasure compartment, and searched frantically, loading all the treasures in the system warehouse, leaving nothing behind. This secret compartment is divided into multiple layers, and what he loots is actually only the outermost layer, and there are even better treasures that are locked in the innermost layer, and he has no key, and he can't pick the lock, so he can only hate it. But even this outermost treasure is rich enough.
He didn't dare to stay long, and after searching for the treasure, he immediately jumped out of the hidden compartment and stepped on the mechanism again, so that the place was closed again and restored to its original state. It was only at this time that he completely let go of his hanging heart, walked down the stairs quickly, and went to meet the sword slave and the others. In this situation, he didn't have a chance to take a closer look at what he had gotten, and only after returning to the Taishan Sect could he take out the looted treasures and inspect them. As far as he knew, what treasures he could get from here were not fixed, and there was some element of luck.
At this time, Jian Nu and the others all gathered by a wall on the eighth floor, and opened a dark grid on the wall, moving a lever in the dark grid.
It's much easier to leave the Tower of Blade than to enter here, and there is a switch on each floor of the tower that controls the mechanism, the so-called "Central Infinite Earth", and as long as the switch is touched, the mechanism on the corresponding floor can be stopped. All they had to do was pull the switches and they would be able to walk out of the tower without having to go through the same hassle as they had come. (To be continued.) )
