Chapter 168: The Last Layer
After resting for a while, everyone began to walk up the endless stairs again, and before they knew it, it was evening again, but Zhou Fan didn't know that except for Qianyu and Zimeng who occasionally popped out a sentence or two along the way, the rest of the people were silent.
Zhou Fan, who was walking in the front, was still thinking as he walked, if he really reached the top of the tower, even if there was an exit, how could a few people go down, counting the previous road, a few people had already walked up two or three thousand meters.
The ropes in the backpacks of several of them were not connected together, not to mention that two ropes were used before, even if they were useless, they could not be thousands of meters long, and now Zhou Fan was not only worried that he would not be able to find a way out, but also worried about the situation in the future.
Just when Zhou Fan was bowing his head and meditating while walking silently, suddenly a wind blew down from above, and suddenly several people felt a chill, and they all chose to stop, Zhou Fan reacted all at once, and immediately looked up to see that there were not many permanent lights on it.
Looking at those scattered less than ten everlasting lights, Zhou Fan also felt relieved, after all, if he had been walking in this kind of place, he really didn't know when he would go completely crazy, but fortunately, the way out was in front of him.
Tianyou and the others were obviously a little relieved, and they each sighed, and they planned to continue to go up, but before they could take a step, they saw Zhou Fan and said: "The upper layer should be the top of the ancient building, I don't know where to suppress anything, but it is estimated that it will not be worse than the snake, but we all have to be careful, after all, this is a place where strange beasts are kept in captivity, we don't know what strange monsters there will be, wait and don't rush to act after you go up." ”
After that, Zhou Fan waited to see everyone's reaction, and after seeing that several people nodded in agreement, he began to walk up from the new, and gradually everyone approached the last platform, and the space at the top of the tower was getting closer and closer, and several people were stopping at the last platform at this time, looking at the space above that was a black hole, and they didn't dare to step into it for a long time.
Zhou Fan pondered for a long time and then said to everyone: "Why don't you let me go up with Zimeng first, you wait here, and if it is safe above, you can come up again." ”
Sure enough, as soon as Zhou Fan's voice fell, Zimeng was a little nervous, Tianyou and Feng Long glanced at each other, and each nodded, Qianying and Qianyu's two daughters, Zhou Fan, didn't need to ask for their opinions, besides, I don't know what is above, the fewer people on it, the better, otherwise it will be really difficult to retreat after a while.
As soon as Zimeng saw Tianyou and Feng Long nodding, he took the lead in taking out the fluorescent equipment, and walked up first, Zhou Fan didn't say anything and followed, the two just stepped into the space, and found that there was no need for fluorescent equipment at all, because there was a huge hole at the top of the tower It was already sunset at this time, and a ray of sunset shone from the big hole at the top of the tower, making the last layer of space not as dim as the space below.
Zhou Fan and Zimeng did not act immediately after they arrived, but each carefully inspected the surroundings, but there was nothing here except for a huge hole in the top of the tower, and there were not four huge pillars like the two floors of space below.
Zhou Fan After they came up from the road to heaven, the pillar went to the last platform, and now this layer of space is empty and there is nothing, but the only difference is that this layer of space seems to be unusually high, thirty or forty meters higher than the space below.
Moreover, there was a huge stone pillar in the middle of the huge space, which was exactly the same as the Tongling Pillar they had encountered before, except that now it was horizontal, inserted upside down on both sides of the rock wall, and crossed over.
Looking at everything in front of him, Zhou Fan was also a little confused, because he didn't know what this place was used for, and this space was very clean, and it was not as dark and damp as the constant dripping water in the two floors below before.
The two stood in place for a while and still didn't find anything abnormal, Zhou Fan even took out the yin and yang compass to locate the yin qi, but saw that the compass was unusually calm, which meant that there was nothing dirty here at all, so he put away the compass and said to Zimeng: "You go down and bring them all up, I'll guard here." ”
Zimeng didn't say a word and turned around and walked towards the passage, and after a while, everyone went up from the road to the sky to this layer of the top of the tower, Tianyou and Feng Long looked at the huge hollow above their heads and frowned, but obviously the two of them didn't have the slightest clue, and they didn't know what this place was for.
Tianyou observed for a long time and didn't find any exit here, so he asked Zhou Fan: "Didn't you say that there will be an exit here?" Or is this not the last floor of the tower at all? ”
"Impossible" Zhou Fan paused and said: "From the huge loophole shining down from this sunset, you can judge that this should be the top of the tower, but I don't dare to guarantee 100% that there will be an exit here, the space we entered before should be the ancient building changed, and the exit was covered, now look around first, if we really can't find the exit, we will go out from there." With that, Zhou Fan raised his hand and pointed to the huge hole above his head.
"Damn, you're not crazy." Zimeng looked at the place Zhou Fan pointed to and was instantly shocked: "Is it possible to go up from here?" And it's crazy. ”
"I'm not crazy." Zhou Fan looked at Zimeng and said: "Judging from this layout, I suspect that there is no exit here, if this is the case, then we can only take a risk and go out from there, and it is not very difficult to shine at this height."
There is a huge stone pillar in the middle, and we have two ropes left to connect it at least fifty meters, first hook the stone pillar with flying clouds, and then go to the top of the tower from the stone pillar, this is the only way, but it is best not to use it. ”
After speaking, Zhou Fan signaled everyone to start acting separately to find an exit, but in fact, he had already decided on a plan in his heart, after all, in this square closed space, if there was another exit, even if it was just a little gap, the existence of the wind could be sensed.
And they all climbed up so high, not to mention three or four thousand meters, not less than one thousand meters, at such a high altitude, there would be a little wind blowing in the slightest gap, but now he himself stood in the space, and the slightest air flow could not be felt, let alone the wind.
Sure enough, when Zhou Fan took Qianying and Qianyu and the two girls to look for it, Tianyou and the three of them had already returned to their original middle position, obviously they didn't find the exit at all, Zhou Fan saw this and quickly searched for it in the area he was responsible for, and after not finding the exit, he returned to the position just now to meet Tianyou and a few people.
As soon as Zhou Fan returned to the place with the two girls, he saw Tianyou and said: "Since there is nothing else to come out, let's do what you said before, now that the sun has set, we will try to get out before the sun completely sets, otherwise we will be in trouble if we encounter something when it gets dark." ”
Feng Long didn't hesitate when he heard this, and immediately took out the rope from his backpack and handed it to Tianyou, Zhou Fan also handed the last remaining rope to Tianyou, took the two ropes, and Tianyou quickly found a favorable position to launch the Feiyun Hook, and with a whoosh, the Feiyun Hook shot into the air in an instant.
Tianyou's technique is very good, the height of the flying cloud hook only exceeds half a meter of the stone pillar and falls, and the flying cloud hook at one end hooks the stone pillar to death, and the few people below are also happy when they see this, and they are afraid that the flying cloud hook will not be used, so they will have to wait for death.
Tianyou also tried to pull the rope, and after finding that it was very strong, he came to the side of several people and said, "Okay, who will go first." ”
Several people looked at each other, and saw Zimeng stand up and said, "It's better for me to come first, you are all injured, and this kind of thing is still the most suitable for me." ”
As soon as Zimeng finished speaking, he didn't give Zhou Fan a chance to refute, he walked towards the rope, and before a few people followed, he climbed up with the rope, and Zhou Fan and a few people immediately followed when they saw this, but Zimeng was surprisingly stable, and after a while, he was afraid to go up to see him safely.
Zhou Fan was also relieved when he saw this, but he was still a little strange, and he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "Is the last layer of space an ornament?" No way, wouldn't it be a joke if it were..."
"Hey, what do you want?" Zhou Fan fell into contemplation for a while and didn't pay attention to Tianyou, just when he was thinking about it, Tianyou patted him on the side, Zhou Fan reacted instantly, looked up at a few people but saw that Fenglong had climbed the rope, and Tianyou looked at him with a strange expression.
"Nothing." Zhou Fan didn't know what to say, so he simply stopped thinking about what happened before, and stood with the two girls after casually dealing with a word of heavenly blessing.
