Chapter 838: Black Tower
Just as he was about to pass out, he found himself finally out of the water.
I have to ......
As soon as Qian Cang had the thought that he had to be sober, he fell to the ground.
The pain didn't make him more conscious, and the lack of oxygen for too long was not a matter of a second or two to recover.
Poof!
Three sounds of landing came one after another.
Except for the sound of the wind whistling by, everything around was silent.
Being able to hold on until now is almost the limit of Qian Cangyi, he took a deep breath and opened his eyes.
The other three actors on the way home from hell were lying not far from him.
Above, where the sky was originally located, there were countless mirror-like pools of water, and the breeze blew through the water, causing ripples on the surface of the water.
After confirming that there was no obvious danger around, Qian Cang's eyes went black and he fainted to the ground.
His body trembled, and after Qian Cangyi regained consciousness, he felt that his limbs were very cold.
As he moved, there was a pain all over his body, the most uncomfortable part of which was his head, which was like a pinprick in a needle.
What happened before the coma quickly flashed through my mind.
It's cold!
As soon as Qian Cang opened his eyes, he saw a strange sky at a glance.
Contrary to the traditional feeling, the calm water of the lake did not calm his mind, but instead gave him an eerie sense of suffocation.
He staggered to his feet from the ground.
"The Tower?" Qian Cang glanced around.
He was now standing at the top of a cylindrical tower made of black stone.
Such black towers can be seen everywhere in this place, like a black stone forest standing between heaven and earth.
"Wake up!" Qian Cangyi reached out and patted Hawkeye on the shoulder.
In the next second, Hawkeye's left hand suddenly moved, and then buckled towards Qian Cangyi's wrist.
Qian Cangyi withdrew his hand, but he was still caught by Hawkeye, but the part that was caught was not his wrist but the back of his hand.
"It's me." Qian Cangyi exerted a slight force, counteracting the force coming from Hawkeye's hand.
Hearing Qian Cangyi's words, Hawkeye let go of his left hand, and he struggled to get up.
"Isn't there any danger around?" Hawkeye opened his eyes, but was very tired, and closed them again after a second.
"Not for the time being, you rest first, I'll wake up the others." As soon as Qian Cang finished speaking, he walked towards the shadow puppet show.
He walked to the shadow puppet show, because of the reaction of Hawkeye just now, so this time he didn't stretch out his hand, "Shadow puppetry, wake up." He said in a calm voice.
The shadow puppet's fingers moved, then the shoulders, then the upper body, and finally the whole body.
Unlike Hawkeye, the shadow puppet play sat directly on the ground, "We...... Still alive? Or are they all dead? ”
"They're all dead." Qian Cangyi said.
"Huh?" The shadow puppet's eyes widened like brass bells.
"He lied to you." Qian Jiangyue's voice came, but he didn't look like he was going to get up.
After making sure that all four of them were okay, Qian Cang walked to the stairs he had seen early in the morning.
This is a spiral staircase that surrounds the entire tower, and there is no design to prevent it from falling, but fortunately, the width of the staircase is enough for two people to walk side by side, so if you walk along the inside, you don't have to worry about falling down.
Although Qian Cangyi has the idea of exploring the way, his physical condition is not good now, and he needs to rest.
"Backpack ......" Qian Cangyi found that the four of them were carrying a lot less things.
Nine times out of ten, he was left in a semi-conscious trance.
Qian Cang thought to himself.
"The timekeeping clock doesn't work either, maybe it's broken by blisters, right?" Qian Cangyi wanted to use time to confirm how much time his party had spent.
Unfortunately, neither the hands nor the numbers have changed.
Also losing its effect is the compass.
One will turn clockwise, and the other will turn counterclockwise, as if you are drunk.
Half an hour after the somatosensory time.
The four of them stood at the mouth of the spiral staircase.
"Let's go!" Qian Cangyi was the first to step on the stairs.
Qian Jiangyue followed, followed by shadow puppetry, and finally after the broken eagle eye.
The stairs under his feet made Qian Cangyi suddenly think of last night's bizarre dream.
The strange sensation quickly rose from the position of the heel to the heart, and the ominous premonition lingered in the chest.
It was only after reaching the bottom that Qian Cangyi breathed a sigh of relief.
On the left, there is the arched entrance of the black tower, and there is no door, so you can see the whole inside at a glance.
A foul smell came from the black tower, and Qian Cangyi blocked his nostrils with his left hand and took a step back.
"I'll go in and see, you stay outside." Qian Cangyi said to the person behind him.
His words were mainly to Qian Jiangyue, "By the way, Qian Jiangyue, if you have any sudden discoveries or ideas, you can tell us first, this place is not very safe, maybe a small mistake can take the lives of all of us." ”
"Don't worry, I'm more afraid of death than you." Qian Jiangyue didn't joke at this time, or rather, was not interested.
Qian Cangyi handed the backpack to the shadow puppet puppet, leaving only a flashlight and a portable dagger on his body.
He walked into the black tower, and after glancing left and right, he focused his attention on the top of his head.
For some reason, Qian Cang felt that the source of the stench was in the direction he was looking at now.
The glow of the flashlight shines to the top.
A huge black egg appeared in Qian Cang's eyes.
The giant egg is shaped like an ellipsoid, the long side of the egg is about a meter long, and the surface of the giant egg is covered with many spike-like tentacles.
Under the illumination of the flashlight, the speed of expansion and contraction of the giant egg increased significantly, as if the contents were about to be born.
Qian Cang immediately turned off his flashlight and left the inside of the black tower.
"There was a huge egg on it, alive, I don't know what was inside, and when I shone it with a flashlight, it expanded and contracted with a noticeable increase in frequency, as if it was about to hatch. By the way, the stench also emanates from the giant egg. Qian Cangyi told the three of them what he had discovered.
"It's definitely not a good thing." Qian Jiangyue took a deep breath, and her face changed instantly, "This smell is a bit excessive!" ”
"I think we can see if the towers are all facing the same direction, like the direction of the entrance. If it's the same, we'll be able to use that to determine where we're headed. Shadow puppet said.
This is the method she just came up with.
"Then let's go check it out." Hawkeye nodded.
The four of them walked towards the second closest black tower.
After they moved away, the original tower began to rotate slowly, and the exit that had been facing the four began to slowly move in another direction.
"It's not the same direction." Qian Cangyi got this judgment the moment he saw the entrance to the second tower.
"Looks like we're going to have to go in a random direction." The shadow puppet man sighed.
"Don't worry, go back and take a look first, this place is too weird, be careful." Qian Cangyi clenched his right hand into a fist.
"Let's go." Qian Jiangyue nodded.
Returning along the same path, as soon as he was halfway there, the change in the black tower was noticed by Qian Cangyi.
"Entrance...... It's gone......" Qian Cangyi said.
"Moved?" Hawkeye asked, "Don't move, I'll use the Eagle Spirit to see." ”
