"Gambling?"

"Take yourself as a bet?"

"Wait, I don't really understand. Who is the owner of the Tower of Despair, and what good is it for him to build the Tower of Despair here to welcome the aliens from all worlds to gamble? Why are you here to guard this borderless land for him?"

Lu Lie still has a lot of doubts that have not been solved. But he never had time to say these questions, because after the three baby-faced men finished speaking, their figures became thinner and thinner in the darkness, and finally, completely disappeared into the darkness.

In this vast and silent borderless land, Lu Lie was left alone.

Lu Lie stared blankly at the place where the three baby-faced people disappeared, and there was not the slightest trace to prove that they had existed. If it weren't for the traces left on his hands and legs after being entangled in black vines, Lu Lie almost thought that everything was a delusion caused by his long-term loneliness.

He stood there and patted his head desperately, as if trying to pour something out of his head.

So far, the only good news to be thankful for is that the hill that the three baby-faced men had shown them the way was still in place.

"Just eat that hill and you'll be able to reach the Tower of Despair?"

Recalling the inexplicable sentence that the baby-faced man left to him, Lu Lie felt a little cold.

Thinking about it, before he knew it, he had walked in front of the small hill.

"Is this little hill?"

"On the surface, isn't there anything special?"

Looking at this small hill the size of a cake, the feeling of nausea was even closer. After all, Lu Lie is also a human being, you can't let him aim at a small earthen mound, really like a cake, and eat it clean in a few bites.

However, he wandered in place for a long time, and finally made a decision: what are you afraid of, isn't it just a pile of dirt, gritted his teeth and closed his eyes. How many times have you experienced life and death, and you will still be trapped here by this little thing?

What's more, there is no other choice for him to hesitate. He has been trapped in this universe since he entered the present. Minutes and seconds passed. Even if he was asked to eat a piece of, he had to bite the bullet and give it a try.

Lu Lie held back his nausea and uneasiness, squatted on the ground, and used his fingers to rip off a piece of mud from the top of the mountain.

"That's it, just put it in your mouth?"

"Isn't there really anything wrong?"

The dirt in the palm of his hand has a slight coolness, and it feels no different from normal mud.

It's just that just as Lu Lie's heart was crossed, he was about to use this lump of mud to sacrifice his five internal organs temple, and a vision appeared in front of him, so frightened that he almost withdrew his hand and threw away the clod of soil in his hand, almost thinking that there was something wrong with his eyes-

The mound in front of him, where Lu Lie had dug out a corner, was like injured flesh and blood. If you look closely, the top of the hill is still trembling slightly, like a pudding that has been lightly touched, and it looks like an instinctive reaction of a creature to pain when it is hurt.

"Shall I go? The mound, where the three old monsters let themselves eat, turned out to be a creature?"

Lu Lie was startled, remembering the smiles of the three baby-faced people before they disappeared, and the more he thought about it, the more ill-intentioned they felt. Hurriedly slapped off the clods of soil in his hands completely, and fled far away from the hill.

The ground beneath his feet made a dull rumbling sound, as if something was thundering underground. Immediately after, the entire land of the Borderlands could shake, as if it was about to shake, and it was as if some huge creature had crawled out of the ground.

"Damn old monster, what kind of mechanism did you touch by deceiving Lao Tzu!"

Lu Lie was not a fool either, and roughly deduced that this mountain pile must be some kind of reverse scale of the monster at the bottom of his feet. It's ridiculous and hateful that he was so deceived by those three old monsters that he touched that hill, and now I'm afraid that a catastrophe is coming!

But Lu Lie ran for a while and found that something was wrong. No matter how hard he tried, he felt that his position was always in place, and even kept regressing.

In order to prove that this was his illusion, Lu Lie turned his head and glanced at the mountain that he had touched. But an even more astonishing scene appeared in front of him—the mountain pile not only did not go far from him, but got closer and closer with his madness!

"What's going on?"

Lu Lie was taken aback and summoned the Rose Tiger from the spirit world.

"Rose Tiger, we ......"

Lu Lie jumped on this god in response, and before he could open his mouth, the mountain pile behind him suddenly became more than ten times larger, and directly turned into a small mountain, and it flew directly in the direction of Lu Lie like the top of Mount Tai.

The Rose Tiger leaped into the distance, but Lu Lie felt that a huge shadow behind him had covered him. He looked back and saw that before he could utter a foul word: "I ......" had turned into a tsunami-sized mountain that had pressed down on him—

Prosperous.

Rumble, rumble.

Lu Lie and Rose Tiger were like two ants, directly swallowed by the mountains, and they didn't even make any waves.

After engulfing Lu Lie and the Rose Tiger, the mountain that had grown to the height of heaven and earth lit up with two lighthouses-sized red light, as if it came from the eyes of an ancient beast. The "giant beast" actually burped anthropomorphically, and its two bloody eyes swept around, and when it saw that there were no other creatures disturbing its sleep on this desolate land, it turned over and lazily returned to the ground.

Only a new mound, left in the earth.

......

After being swallowed by the mountain, Lu Lie only felt that his eyes were dark, and he couldn't see anything, and he couldn't hear anything. Everything in front of him was far away from him, leaving only endless void and darkness, enveloping his body tightly.

I don't know how long it took, a drop of cold liquid fell on Lu Lie's forehead, and it slowly woke him up, from this almost dementia situation.

"...... Over here...... And where?"

Lu Lie slowly opened his eyelids. But the world in front of me is pitch black, and what is the difference between having your eyes open and your eyes closed? He tried to get up from the "ground", but as soon as he moved, he felt like the bones of his whole body were about to fall apart, and he squeaked and screamed. Frightened, he had to stop his movements again and crawl on the ground again.
