Volume 1 The Tower of Flesh Chapter 37 Dead End

This was followed by a male voice that surprised Li Ben, and the accent he uttered when he spoke the lingua franca was incomparably distinct, and the thick Russian accent was something that everyone who had heard Russian English would never forget.

"There are too many vampire caves on the cliffs to be a valid clue. ”

Then another person spoke, and his accent was clearly Japanese.

"The deputy minister should have a more specific idea. ”

The female voice said, "Jason's blood will attract the gathering of the undead, although there are many caves, there are few that can effectively climb up, and Jason has no ability to fly." According to the method of elimination, if you carefully observe which place the traces of activity are most frequent and obvious, you can basically determine his approximate location. ”

"We have to hurry, once he cracks the code, everyone will die here. The Japanese said.

"Then let's get going. The Russian urged.

Hearing their movements, Li Ben quickly retreated to the side and hid in the dark to observe.

A woman and two men walked out of the room, and from the outside, they were a Russian man, a Japanese gangster, and a beautiful woman in this world.

Addressed as the "Deputy Minister" is a woman with short jet-black hair, a thin chin, a small nose, bright eyes, and a peach blossom mole under the corner of her left eye. The facial contours are angular and heroic, and the rounded areas are also rounded, giving people a sense of shrewdness and competence.

She wears a pair of black, square-rimmed glasses, and two blue inverted triangle pendants with runes carved into them on her earlobes. He has a slender figure, about 1.75 meters tall, wearing a magic pattern costume that fits his body, with shoulder pads on both sides of his neck, and two pistols with exquisite appearance and complex patterns hanging from his waist.

Overall, black is the main color, and silver and gold are the material colors of the magic patterns on her body.

Li Ben could clearly feel the huge magical energy lurking in those textures. In other words, this lady is full of magic props, and these props are carefully combined to form an esoteric magic circle, which is always running.

This is a configuration that can only be possessed by high-level Chaos Hunters, and it is not an ordinary high-level hunter, and in retrospect, the same is true of Geralt, whom Li Ben once met.

And judging from the information in their conversation just now, these people should be people from the Navigator Organization. The other two Russians and Japanese were apparently members of the Order, who had come from another world and had been co-opted.

They're tracking down a guy named "Jason" because he seems to have something in his hand and needs to crack the code to open it.

Jason... Friday the 13th? Li Ben thought of the famous murderer in the film and television drama.

However, he has no interest in delving into the affairs of these people, and only hopes that they will not affect him.

Li Ben's goal is firm and clear, which is to pass through the wind and valley.

"Hmm? Who's been here just now. The lady was keenly aware of the traces of Li Ben's passing, and began to follow the footsteps to find the traces.

She certainly has a hunter's sense as well. Li Ben, who heard the words, thought of this.

He was definitely easier to be spotted by her if he ran now, and there were two ways to avoid bilateral contact, one was to hide in place, expecting that she would not notice the anomaly when she arrived, and the other was to directly activate the void ability and leave.

Li Ben really didn't want to waste this life-saving skill easily, who knows what accidents will happen in the end of this day. So he decided to try stealth first, and then retreated.

He stood quietly in the alley against the wall, temporarily cutting off his breathing.

"Could it be Jason?" the Japanese asked.

"It's unlikely, these traces don't look like his, if he takes the initiative to approach us, he must have the intention of killing. ”

"What about the undead?"

The woman still shook her head. The Russians did not intervene and kept a watchful eye on the perimeter.

They walked to the alley.

"The trail is interrupted here. ”

The woman stood in front of Li Ben and looked around, so that he could smell the faint body fragrance coming from the woman.

"There's nothing here, do you have any other means of detection?" the Japanese asked.

The woman raised her right hand and used her index finger to draw an outline of a swallow in the air, and then a translucent bright yellow swallow appeared, fluttering around like a real living thing.

It swept past the tip of Li Ben's nose, climbed high into the air, circled several more times, and finally flew back into the woman's palm and dissipated.

"There's nothing around, let's go. The woman said.

After they left, Li Ben was not in a hurry to show up.

After a while, sure enough, the woman turned back and saw that there was indeed no change here, so she really gave up.

"I didn't expect her to be a high-level mage. Li Ben, who left the state of concealment, muttered to himself.

The woman's hand swallow detection is not a particularly esoteric spell, but the simplification of the movements performed when using it is not something that anyone can do.

The use of spells generally has two steps, chanting and drawing circles, and casting spells as quickly as she doodles, which is the symbol of a high mage.

"They're going to the caves on both sides of the city, and they shouldn't run into them again. ”

Li Ben walked along the ramp towards the central tower, where more and more remains were lying on the side of the road.

He saw a ghoul gnawing at corpses from afar.

Ghouls have five claws on each hand to tear through pieces of flesh, and their bodies are so stiff that the flesh they eat falls out of the empty abdominal cavity, so there is no chance of being full.

Instead of approaching it, Lee Ben chose to take a detour. Because ghouls possess visual perception.

"It's strange, how can there be fresh flesh here?" Li Ben, who climbed the wall to climb the street, found that the corpse eaten by the ghoul was not decomposed, and the blood had not yet coagulated, as if he had just died.

With these anomalies in mind, he moved on.

At night, the same scene happened again. Li Ben looked at his watch and determined that the scene of the ghost's nocturnal walk always unfolded at a fixed point in time, and disappeared after a fixed hour.

At noon the next day, he finally arrived at the tower of the center.

Looking up from the bottom of the tower, I saw that half of the tower was on the clouds, mysterious and out of reach.

It's as if the tower is saying to people, "Come and climb me..."

However, Li Ben did not find the door to enter the tower in the east, and he stood on the right side of the tower, and could vaguely see the shadow outline of the snow-capped mountains in the west.

He reached out and touched a wall of air that completely separated the east and west sides of the city.

"Why wasn't I surprised at all? As if it all was taken for granted. That inexplicable sense of familiarity came back to me.

Lee Ben picked up a piece of wood on the side of the road and threw it, and it passed through the air wall smoothly. He took out another bullet on his body to test it in the same way, but was blocked by an invisible force.

"Things in the city can pass through, but things outside can't, well... Isn't it that simple? ”

Li Ben pulled out the victim and tried to forcibly break through the air wall.

Of course, the result failed, not only that, but those surrounding undead creatures who couldn't sense Li Ben's breath locked on him after his operation, and a total of thirty-three skeleton warriors attacked him one after another.

In desperation, Li Ben dealt with them after a grappling fight, but provoked an even more powerful death knight.

There is only a fourth-level chaotic aura, but the terrifying lethality displayed when wielding the scythe can cut through the surrounding stone buildings like tofu, and in this regard, it has surpassed the ordinary fifth-level chaos creatures.

When the victim fought with him, Li Ben could faintly feel the mournful roar from the blade in his hand.

After painstakingly defeating the Death Knight, its remains completely disappeared with the blue flames, and when I looked back, the same was true of the skeletons that had been defeated by me.

However, where the remains disappeared, they each left behind a varying number of round gold coins, engraved with extremely small mysterious characters on one side and an eye on the other.

"These words... Why is it so similar to the ones I saw in the God of Destiny Trials? and that defeating these monsters will drop gold? This..."

Isn't it just like a game?

Li Ben shook his head, abandoning this ridiculous conjecture in his mind.

The ability to shape such a game world in reality, come to think of it, only a god can do it, but what god would be so idle and deliberately make such a thing that has no practical meaning?

He obtained another thing from the wreckage of the Death Knight, a delicate silver key. Although he didn't think there was much chance, he still brought it, maybe it would be useful in the future.

Since he couldn't reach the other side from the surface, Li Ben could only choose to retreat temporarily and find another way out.

"It's not going to work... Go back and find out if there is an underground passage, the door to the tower should be somewhere underground. ”

This back and forth, and then let another day pass.

The stars in the sky gradually faded, the sun and the moon rotated again, and Li Ben began a new exploration.

But that morning, when a fiery head flew to his feet, he could only sigh helplessly and sigh: "Blessing is incomparable, and disaster is not a one-way street." ”

That's the head of the Russian I saw the day before yesterday.

Just in front of him, a strong man wearing a white hockey mask and holding a machete appeared. At the same time, two other Russian companions surrounded him from the left and right sides.

"Valery is dead!Has he cracked the code?!" shouted the Japanese to Jason's left.

"The password is not so easy to crack!" the woman replied, she noticed Li Ben: "The man over there, if you don't want to die, you can deal with him with us!"

The Japanese also said, "You have a navigator's mask, you should be a member of the organization! We are too! Look!" As he spoke, he took out a card from his pocket with the "wings and gears" logo of the Navigator Organization.

"Be careful!" the woman shouted.

Jason stood still, slashing at the Japanese in the air.

The Japanese rolled sideways to dodge, but his right hand holding the card was cut off at the wrist and wailed on the side of the road.

At the same time as the woman reminded her, she shot both hands at the same time, and orange-red bullets poured out at Jason's speed.

Jason was unwavering in the face of the bullet, allowing it to explode dozens of bloody holes in his body, then swinging his neck and stretching his muscles, and all his injuries recovered.

"Tsk!" the woman saw that her attack was ineffective, and immediately began to transform.

The dark red of blood spread across her skin, her hair swelled like a waterfall, a horn grew on each side of her head, and the magic patterns on her clothes also emitted magical energy fluctuations, and under the influence of the chaotic forces, she put on a fiery dragon scale armor.

The two guns were also deformed, each with a barrel added vertically, and the back of the gun became a blade, which could be used for both long-range and melee combat.

At this point, the bullets that erupt from the pistol are not only extremely fast, but also have a sparkling effect, causing everything that comes into contact with them to start burning.

Jason also no longer held it up, either dodging or swinging his knife to shoot down.

There were still a few bullets that could hit him, and black smoke was coming out of those wounds, which did not heal quickly.

Jason ran towards Leeben, swinging his knife and slashing.

Li Ben activated his stealth ability and rolled over to dodge, but Jason seemed to lock on to him, and stabbed again, causing a burst of blood mist to explode in the air.

The woman chased Jason out of Leeben's vision.

After a few minutes, she turned back again, and judging by the look on her face, she was supposed to be lost.

She pointed a gun at a place in the void and said, "Come out!"

As soon as the words fell, a bullet came out of the chamber, flying right past Li Ben's left ear.

Li Ben obediently appeared.

She said, "Take the mask off!"
