Chapter 802, the ambush on the second floor of the stone tower
The space inside the tower is about the size of two basketball courts, and more than a dozen torches hang on the walls, illuminating the inside of the tower. I expected it to be full of ambushes, but all I could see before I came in was an empty space and marble pillars standing inside the tower.
Boss Nie left most of the commandos at the door of the stone tower, and only brought five people with us into the tower. There is nothing particularly noteworthy on the first floor. But when you get to the staircase that leads to the second floor, the problem comes.
The entire staircase was filled with a thick layer of yin qi, and as soon as we leaned forward, ghost hands would poke out of those yin qi and wave wildly at us. I used a spell to open the way, and the yin qi immediately dispersed, but there was still a large black and red mark on the stairs.
The mark looked like it was alive, and I could even see it wriggling clearly!
Xi Lin motioned for us not to come closer, and then summoned a demon follower and told it to go to the stairs first, but the ghost follower was sucked into the mark by a huge suction force as soon as he passed.
"What is this?" I hurriedly asked.
Xi Lin shook his head and said, "I don't know, but it looks like some kind of passage to hell, and we can't go down this road!" As he spoke, Xi Lin also motioned for all of us to step back.
After returning to the position in the center of the stone tower. I asked Xiao Ai again if I could be sure that Chen Dapeng's sister was here. Xiao Ai replied with great certainty that Chen Dapeng's sister must be in this stone tower, and it is on a certain floor above.
I nodded at him, then quickly ran out of the tower and took a look at it. The entire stone tower looks like a barrel-shaped stone mountain from the outside, and there is not even a single window on the whole tower except for the entrance gate, and the staircase seems to be the only passage leading to the upper level of the stone tower.
I summoned the candle dragon and sent it flying directly to the second floor of the stone tower to see if I could make a hole in the wall. However, the stone tower seems to be protected by some kind of barrier, and the candle dragon's attack cannot cause any damage to the stone tower at all, and it seems that the method of breaking through from the outside will not work.
So I went back inside the tower, and together we tried to break the ceiling of the first floor of the stone tower from the inside. However, this method still didn't work, and we even ended up using enough force to completely tear down the entire tower, but that only caused the tower to shake very slightly.
The ceiling and the stone tower façade are beyond our reach, and it seems that the only way up the stairs is to go upstairs.
I let the pot of gold put a dog in it, and my son went over to test it. As a result, just like the evil ghost follower sent by Xi Lin before, the dog son was sucked into the mark as soon as he approached, and it seemed that all the spiritual creatures could not pass through it.
I simply left all the shikikii at the entrance of the stone tower for the time being, and let the others hold my hand as a safe, and then walked up the stairs myself to try it. I was ready to be dragged in, but stepping on my feet didn't make me feel anything unusual.
Not only did I feel surprised, but several people who insured me, especially Weiwei, were surprised and asked, "No response?" ”
I quickly shook my head and said, "No response, as usual." ”
After listening to me, Vivi immediately walked over and tried to step up the steps, but as soon as her feet touched the steps, several ghost hands immediately reached out from the mark and grabbed her ankles, and dragged her into the mark desperately!
Seeing this, I quickly picked up Vivi and kicked those ghost hands with my foot. But those ghost hands seemed to suddenly become extremely crazy, and dragged me into the sigil with me. And the strength is simply outrageous. The steps under my feet had just been solid, but now it seemed as if they had suddenly turned into a viscous liquid, and both of my feet were completely sunk into the steps.
The others hurried over and helped us both get rid of those ghost hands. I pushed Vivi out of the stairs even harder, and in the end, it took a lot of effort for Vivi to break free from those ghost hands. As soon as she was out of the range of the steps, the ghost hands immediately fell silent, and I quickly pulled out of the mark and ran down the steps.
After a false alarm, I cautiously walked back up the steps again. As before, those ghost hands didn't mean to attack me. Xi Lin then came up and tried it, but the ghost hand also did not appear. It seems that this mark and the ghost hand that pokes out of it will only attack ordinary people, but there is nothing they can do about me and Xi Lin who have obtained the soul bell.
This situation completely disrupted our original plan, the spirit creature will be sucked down directly when it gets close to the imprint, and the close approach of the living will make those difficult ghost hands suddenly attack, and this stone tower can't be destroyed, and the people who can go to the upper level of the stone tower seem to be me and Xi Lin.
Xi Lin is okay, at least he has never relied on the ghost, but I am no different from a waste person without the ghost, which makes me feel a little weak.
But I didn't show my weakness, after all, in this situation, I have to be a leader that others can trust and rely on, and if I coax at this time, others will not know what to do. So after taking a deep breath and adjusting my emotions, I also said firmly to the others: "You just wait here at the stone tower, Xi Lin and I will go up and see if we can destroy the barrier in the tower, and when you can go up, I will find a way to send you a signal." ”
This is the only action we can take at the moment, so everyone can only nod in agreement and tell us to be very careful.
Of course, I want to be careful, but I know very well in my heart that as long as I go up to the second floor of the stone tower, what awaits me next is not something that can be dealt with by just "being careful", I can only thin my life if I work hard!
Compared to me, Xi Lin's expression was much calmer, he didn't even make movements such as adjusting his breathing, and walked directly towards the second floor, as if he couldn't wait to teach the guys upstairs a lesson. It's a good thing for me to have at least a very reliable partner with me, not on my own.
The staircase spirals upward, and upon reaching the second floor, the interior architecture changes completely, with the lobby on the first floor looking like a grotto, while the second floor feels like entering a large auditorium. The floor is paved with marble tiles, and the walls and ceilings are lit with fluorescent lamps, as if returning to the city from a ravine in an instant.
However, it was not as peaceful as it seemed on the surface, and as soon as Xi Lin and I stepped onto the marble floor, a group of skeletons in armor and weapons appeared from all around and crossed in front of us.
I couldn't use the Ghost Dao Spell, nor the Five Elements Spell, which made me panic a little, and just as I was thinking about whether I should summon a few ghosts to help first, suddenly a strong murderous aura also came from behind those armored skeletons! And it wasn't just murderous, I seemed to feel something unusually fierce approaching me!
"Something is wrong!"
I quickly reminded Xi Lin and pushed him to the right again. Almost as soon as I pushed Xi Lin away, a black vortex instantly wrenched the skeletons in front of me into pieces and rushed straight towards me. I saw it, but I couldn't dodge it anymore, so I could only hold my arms in front of me, protecting my chest and head.
With a huge impact, I was knocked backwards and flew up, but fortunately, I had just gone upstairs and there was a wall behind me, so I didn't fly far before I hit the wall directly to stop the backward trend.
"It is worthy of the power given by the king of Hades, and it can reach this level with murderous aura alone, it seems that I really did not choose the wrong camp."
A familiar voice came from behind those skeletons, and then a burly strong man also appeared behind those armored skeletons - it turned out to be Chen Dapeng!
Listening to what he just said, he should have completely surrendered to the two Hades of the Great Beast Xitian and Anqira, so he can appear in front of me again.
And I obviously didn't have to deal with him alone, because at the same time as Chen Dapeng appeared, another black vortex storm suddenly appeared from my left side, and I quickly raised my hand to block it, but the storm still pushed me backwards and slid out dozens of meters, and after the strong wind stopped, another guy with a huge body like a black bear also walked out. That's Chen Dapeng's junior brother!
"Useless guys, give me a retreat!" The big black bear roared in a deep voice, then stomped his foot hard, and then the marble bricks on the ground sank rapidly, piece by piece.
I don't know if I was lucky or if the big black bear did it on purpose, the marble slabs under my feet showed no signs of sinking, but the slabs around me were all sinking. The second floor of this stone tower is only three or four meters high, but when I glanced to the side, the surrounding stone slabs had sunk by at least fifty meters, and a river of blood appeared at the bottom!
The armored skeletons that had just gathered around me had all fallen into the river of blood. Billowing smoke billowed from their bodies, and they struggled to climb the river of blood, but within seconds they were swallowed up by the river of blood.
"That's the Yellow Springs Styx of the underworld, no matter who you are, as long as you fall, you can't get up. Your only chance of survival is to defeat me, do you have what it takes? The big black bear said to me defiantly, and then, as if performing a light feat, jumped on the few remaining marble platforms and struck at me.
If I could use the Ghost Dao Spell, I wouldn't be afraid to face this big black bear, but now I have nothing but to fight him with the Soul Bell and a few unpracticed spells. Bird rowing.
Defeat him?
I couldn't even move from the marble brick under my feet to another stone brick three meters away, I was already a living target!
