Chapter 106: Map, Key
Just now, when he was resting, Xing Tian arranged for Lu Kun to find a way to go upstairs on this first floor, and now everyone is chasing and killing under the demon tide, so they can only climb the tower.
At that moment, everyone performed light skills, and quickly ran to the stairs in front, the entire Ten Thousand Demon Floating Pagoda was extremely large, and just half of the run, there were demon beasts chasing after them.
The worst cultivation of the masters present is the half-step rigid and soft realm, so they are not afraid of a small number of demon beasts, but no one dares to delay, after all, there is a tide of demon beasts behind, if they are besieged, they will be dead and lifeless. Fighting and retreating all the way, after killing dozens of demon beasts, everyone retreated to the stairs, and it was at this time. Two evil path masters ran from another wide corridor, apparently also chased by the demon tide. It's just that their speed is a little slower, and they are caught up and besieged all of a sudden, although they are trying their best, but they are still swallowed by the tide of demon beasts, and there are no corpses.
Strange to say, when everyone climbed the stairs, those demon beasts no longer chased after them, but surrounded the stairs and watched them. If everyone will still stay, they just go up the stairs and enter the second floor.
In the second layer, everyone still encountered a large number of demon beasts, the demon beasts in this tower are obviously different from the demon beasts outside, these demon beasts are more ferocious, they seem to be invaded by some kind of evil demon, and they are not afraid at all.
Under the repeated battles, Xingtian and the others went all the way up, forgetting how many demon beasts they had killed along the way, and there were still people digging up the demon pill at the beginning, after all, a demon pill was worth a thousand gold outside. However, the people in the back were already numb, and they didn't dig the demon pill at all, but just swung their swords and slashed. Almost every time you go up to the floor, you have to fight repeatedly, and everyone also discovers a strange thing. That is, when you climb the stairs, the previous staircase will disappear without a trace, and you can't go down even if you want to, so you can only continue to go up.
The old monk Huangmei said that the Ten Thousand Demon Floating Pagoda is ninety-nine stories high, and now everyone in Xingtian has only reached the tenth floor, and they are a little exhausted.
On the tenth layer, even a martial artist like Lu Kun who had achieved great cultivation in the Rigid and Soft Realm was exhausted of his true qi, his face was pale, and he swallowed the pill that he carried that could restore his true qi into his mouth, and at this time, there was no demon beast attack, so they seized the time to rest.
Everyone knows that according to this situation, let alone climbing to the top of the tower, they will be exhausted if they go up two more floors, and when they encounter a large number of demon beasts, they will definitely die.
In addition, along the way, I also found that the evil masters who had escaped were basically dead in the hands of demon beasts, but Song Daotong was the only one who came back from the dead.
This point, Xingtian couldn't figure it out.
The current situation is also extremely critical, this tower is simply a pen for captive demon beasts, and the number of demon beasts is innumerable. Continuing on, the situation is not optimistic.
Xingtian was still thinking about Song Daotong in his mind, and the other party must have been for the treasure at the top of the tower, but how did he leave alone?
In an instant, Xingtian had a flash of inspiration in his mind, but he secretly said to himself, no one said that there was only one road in this tower. If there are other paths, then this makes sense. In addition, Xing Tian also thought of one thing, that is, a map he got from Chu Yingjie.
From the beginning, Xingtian found that the structure in the Ten Thousand Demon Floating Slaughter Tower seemed to be very similar to the description on the map, Xingtian was not sure, but he hurriedly took out the map and looked at it, and it was exactly the same.
At that moment, Xingtian was overjoyed, but he didn't expect this map to come in handy at this time. Although there is only one map, the structure of each tower is very similar, except that the location of the upward passage is different, but there are also signs on it, and the whole map is like pressing ninety-nine floor plans together, and the difference between each map is only the location of the upper and lower passages.
In addition, in the center of the map, there is a circular hollow cylinder structure marking, which indicates that this cylinder runs through the entire level of the tower, and maybe even another passage directly to the top of the tower.
Seeing that Xingtian had determined that this map was the structure of the Ten Thousand Demon Floating Slaughter Tower, he showed the map to Ye Rong Zhen, who also nodded again and again.
"Xingtian, I didn't expect you to have a map of this Ten Thousand Demon Floating Slaughter Tower, so things are simple, we just need to enter the center of the tower layer and find the passage that runs through the ninety-nine tower floors, and we can go directly to the top of the tower!" Ye Rongzhen and Xingtian discussed, and told everyone about the map, along the way, everyone fought side by side, and there was no strangeness at the beginning, and they established a good friendship with each other.
As soon as everyone discussed, they decided to go to the central area of the tower to find that passage, which was also forced to be helpless, if they were still so stunned to go up, at most two floors, they would have to be annihilated.
On the way, Xingtian also talked to Ye Rongzhen about his guess about Song Daotong. Ye Rong really thought about it and nodded: "This possibility is very high, if Song Daotong is used by someone to cast a demon **, then the other party must have premeditated, and it is not impossible to know the structure in this tower." Let's catch up with it, but it is said that the corpse controlled by the demon ** will be extremely difficult, in short, let's be careful!"
Soon, as marked on the map, the crowd soon reached the center of the tower. Sure enough, I saw a prototype pillar as huge as black iron, maybe this is the central axis that stabilizes the entire tower.
And on the black iron pillar, everyone soon found a locked iron door.
At this moment, the demon beasts on this floor also began to riot, and they surrounded them together, and from a distance, the number of demon beasts surging from each corridor reached thousands.
"It's over, the passage has been found, but it can't be opened!" said an old Taoist of the Yunshan Sect, holding a steel sword in his hand, his body covered in blood, shaking his head and sighing when he saw the locked iron door.
And a martial artist of the Mianshan Sect who cultivated the Powerful Collapse Mountain Palm stepped forward and slapped his palm on the iron door, and his strength suddenly splashed, but this palm did not shake the iron gate at all, but the palm of his hand was shaken and hurt. He stepped forward to take a look, shook his head and said: "This is a special meteorite construction, ten times stronger than ordinary gold and iron, not to mention that we are waiting for cultivation, even if the master of the Tongqi Realm comes, at most it will leave a scratch on it!"
These masters are the elites of various factions, and they have been practicing martial arts all year round, and their state of mind has long surpassed that of ordinary people, even in the face of life and death, they are much more indifferent.
"I, a Chiyun Dao person, have studied martial arts for fifty years, and I have already softened and softened my strength, and it is not a big deal to die here today, but Xingtian Xiaoyou and this night girl are young, it is a pity, they should not die here!" A yellow-robed old Taoist palms are surging with true anger, and in the face of death, he is talking and laughing.
"That's right, I'll stop these demon beasts for a while, Xingtian Xiaoyou and the Night Girl will break out, no matter what, you still have a chance to enter the next layer, you are really young, especially Xingtian Xiaoyou, you have cultivated to a half-step rigid and soft realm at a young age, but you are much more powerful than my Danyangzi, you are so cultivated, even in my Tianyi Sect, it is difficult to find the second, and you must not die here." After this Danyangzi finished speaking, he also raised the long sword in his hand and put on a sword trick.
Danyangzi's status in Tianyi is not low, and like Lu Kun, he is also a veteran inner disciple.
The rest of the masters also laughed, this time the way back is dead, there are demon beasts all around, they are heartbroken, and they plan to prove the Tao with death.
And at this moment, Xingtian quickly walked to the iron door under the gaze of everyone, took out a key from nowhere, stretched it into the keyhole and twisted it, and heard a dull click, and the heavy iron door actually opened.
Xingtian was a half-step rigid and soft cultivator, his fingers clasped on the iron door and suddenly pulled the door open a half-meter-long gap, and looked back at the stunned people, but said: "Everyone, we haven't reached the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted, come in quickly, lest the demon beast follow!"
One word woke everyone up, this time the people of Chiyun Dao, Danyangzi and the others were all red-faced, and they wanted to say something to get some face, but they also knew that now was not the time, so they drilled into the iron gate without saying a word.
Ye Rong Zhen also glanced at Xingtian quite unexpectedly, and followed in, and finally everyone entered, and Xingtian pulled the iron door and closed the door.
Suddenly, the roar of the demon beasts outside stopped abruptly, Xingtian was not worried that those demon beasts could come in, this iron gate was difficult to shake even the martial artists of the Rigid and Soft Realm, how could those demon beasts be able to break through.
"I said Xingtian Xiaoyou, you should have taken it out as soon as you have the key, just now I really thought that I was going to fight to the death with those demon beasts!" "The people of Chiyun Dao began to 'count' Xingtian at this moment, and Danyangzi and others also joined. However, just now, these righteous Bo Yuntian also moved Xingtian, but he laughed a few times and said: "I didn't know that this key I got by chance could open this iron door, it's really wronged!"
Everyone naturally knew that what Xingtian said was true, so they no longer counted it.
Looking at their current location, it is the interior of the iron pillar, which is hollow, only the staircase that winds up along the wall, in a spiral shape, leading directly to the top, I don't know how high.
"It seems that this passage can indeed lead directly to the top of the tower, and Song Daotong must have entered from here!" Xingtian looked up at the staircase that had fallen into darkness, and thought to himself in his heart.
After resting for a while, everyone ran up the stairs, because there were no monsters harassing them, so the speed was very fast, just over an hour, and they could already see the end of the tower.
At this time, everyone was cautious and took their weapons in their hands, after all, no one knew what the situation would be.
After another moment, the Chiyun Dao people and Lu Kun who were the first to go up to the top of the tower, but the people below waited for a long time and didn't hear the movement of the two, and they knew it was not good at the moment. Xing Tian's heart moved, but he said: "Let's go up together, if there is anything, we can help each other!"
"Okay!" the others nodded in agreement, and everyone rushed up the stairs to the top of the tower.
At the top of the tower was a very large room, vast and empty, without any furnishings. As soon as Xing Tian came up, he saw Lu Kun and Chiyun Dao people standing not far away, these two people had dull faces and were motionless, as if they had lost their souls.
At this moment, Xing Tian suddenly heard a bell, and the next moment, a cold thing suddenly burrowed into his head, and his body was numb at the moment, and he couldn't move.
And Ye Rongzhen, Dan Yangzi and the others who came up together were the same, after hearing the bell, their bodies were shocked and they fell into the road inexplicably, but they were as stunned as Lu Kun Chiyun Dao people before.
