Chapter 442: The Black Tower
Even people with skulls stuffed in their heads and completely brainless will understand that something is definitely wrong now.
The disappearance of the human voice is the most unsettling to Qiu Wuyi, the sound of running cries that used to be everywhere disappeared in an instant, even if it is a killing, it will not be so efficient.
There is a word called "evaporation", which is indeed very suitable for the current situation of the island.
Qiu Wuyi groped forward little by little along the stones, his vision was very poor, he could only see five or six steps away, it was night, but the black fog was darker than the night.
Once you enter the enveloping area of the black fog, it is like being isolated into a secret room, which is very strange, the sea breeze is very hard at night, but the wind cannot blow away the black fog, and there is no wind in the black fog.
Although it is uncertain whether the black fog can cause damage to one's body, it is impossible not to touch the black fog now, and there is relatively little space without fog, and it is constantly being swallowed by the black fog.
Fortunately, during the time he was a cook, Qiu Wuyi had already grasped the nearby terrain, even if he closed his eyes, he just went in the wrong direction, and the incident happened suddenly, and he couldn't take this opportunity to find Mao Xiong, so he had to find the port and leave quickly.
After walking for more than a hundred steps, Qiu Wuyi's cautious steps suddenly slowed down and stopped in the middle of a wide open space.
The black fog had completely taken over the world, and his field of vision had become narrower, and that wasn't a reason for him to stop.
The earth seems to be rising.
Qiu Wuyi leaned down and pressed his palm against the ground, so that he could better feel the changes in the ground.
It was not an illusion, the ground was indeed rising at a slow but steady rate, and it was precisely because it was so stable that it was difficult to detect immediately, and there was no wind in the black fog, which further interfered with the sensory organs.
There was no countermeasure for the time being, and he couldn't see the road and couldn't act, Qiu Wuyi chose to wait in place, and simply weaved a pair of gliders with strings to guard against possible accidents.
Time passed minute by minute, and Qiu Wuyi himself didn't know how high the ground had risen, but the black fog around him seemed to be a little lighter than just now, and the evidence was that the field of vision was constantly recovering, which was a good sign.
After more than an hour, the air around him became colder and told Qiu Wuyi that he had now reached the sky, it was still late at night, and there were no stars in the world shrouded in black fog.
So when a little starry appeared in the sky, Qiu Wuyi understood that he had passed through the black fog.
The rise of the ground finally stopped, Qiu Wuyi still stood in place, the surrounding scenery was no longer the same sea, and the lighthouse of Yuanfeng Harbor could already be seen from afar.
That is, now that you are already in the sky.
Only then did Qiu Wuyi suddenly realize that the ground under his feet was no longer an uneven mountain rock, and at some point it began to turn into an extremely flat black metal, which was surprisingly similar to the color of the black mist.
The metal floor was circular and large, but the edges could be seen, almost a kilometer or two away from where it was standing.
Qiu Wuyi walked to the edge of the metal round platform, looking down against the stronger and colder night wind.
There wasn't much to see from this location, except for a large expanse of sea, which was black fog.
Rising from the foot was a strange cylindrical building, part of this building was buried in the black fog, part of it was through the black fog, and the black fog below was roughly spherical, wrapping the entire Five Star Island tightly.
Entrance.
Qiu Wuyi no longer thought about the black mist, and instead concentrated on searching at the top of the building, it was not a big problem to jump down now, and at the worst it was possible to make a metal bird to ride away, so this place was not a desperate situation.
The question is, what is this, and what's the point?
The sudden cylindrical tower may be the ancient relic that Mao Xiong has painstakingly searched, and if it is really a powerful weapon, it must not be left alone.
The effort paid off, and after searching for about half an hour along the edge of the top of the circular tower, a small square entrance suddenly appeared in Qiu Wuyi's eyes, the entrance was naturally embedded in the ground, but there were no marks around, so it took a long time to find out.
The entrance was open, and Qiu Wuyi looked down, and he couldn't see anything except some handrails at the edge of the square passage below that could be climbed, and he couldn't see the end of the entrance.
Entering such an unknown place unprepared was undoubtedly dangerous, Qiu Wuyi knew it in his heart, unlike the pirates, he had seen the power of ancient relics with his own eyes, and no one could prove that something like that would not exist inside the tower.
Qiu Wuyi knocked on the handrail in the entrance, and the crisp sound proved that it was metal, and it had not aged due to too much time so far, at least it could withstand the weight of its body.
This time, Qiu Wuyi grabbed the edge of the entrance with both hands, stepped on the handrail with one foot, and stepped on it hard, confirming that the handrail welded on the side of the passage was indeed strong, so that he could climb down with confidence.
This kind of unreasonable decisiveness, in fact, even Qiu Wuyi himself feels strange, there is a completely unknown world below, there is no security guarantee, but there seems to be a voice in the heart that is inciting every cell in the body, and the unjustified courage and thirst for the unknown fill the heart.
Perhaps, that voice came from the tower.
Following the long passage, Qiu Wuyi entered the interior of the tower step by step, the passage had climbed hundreds of meters, but there was still no end in sight below, the evidence was that there was no light, of course, it was also possible that there was a dark force inside that blocked the light.
It turns out that the latter creative conjecture is not necessarily correct, and with each step of climbing, Qiu Wuyi always has to test whether the handrail on the next step is strong, but the handrail seems to be gone.
Qiu Wuyi's night vision was originally good, but there was really no light around him, and he couldn't see his five fingers, so he couldn't tell whether it was the end or the handrail was broken.
After thinking about countermeasures for a while, Qiu Wuyi tied the heavy string tightly to the armrest he was gripping, and then grabbed the heavy string and slowly sank, and soon, his feet touched something flat and hard.
Realizing that this might be the ground, Qiu Wuyi first stepped on it vigorously before falling off the heavy strings.
There are ignitions and light sources around, but it is also very dangerous to ignite a fire casually in such a place where everything is not clear, Qiu Wuyi rested for a few seconds, and then began to manipulate the flexible strings to explore the way in front of him.
Shengxian swayed like a snake on the ground, and once he encountered a trap or a fault, Qiu Wuyi would be the first to notice it.
The ground is safer than expected, it should be straight for now, and no traps were found along the way. As with all ancient buildings, the passage was covered in a thick layer of dust, almost as thick as a finger, but nothing to use as a sign.
Out of caution, Qiu Wuyi never cut off the heavy strings connected to the exit, and in case something happened, he could quickly return in the dark.
The road soon came to an end, and the road directly ahead was closed and could not move forward.
Qiu Wuyi frowned, and was about to turn around, but a possibility suddenly appeared in his mind.
Maybe it's not a closed door, but a "closed door".
First of all, he took the trouble to make sure that there were no mechanisms around, Qiu Wuyi stretched out his palm towards the closed place, and groped all the way against the straight wall, sure enough, after looking for a while, his fingertips seemed to have touched a very inconspicuous gap.
Fingertips can touch the direction of the gap, straight, from top to bottom, maybe this is the crack in the door.
Qiu Wuyi tried to push, and although the gap moved slightly, there was no further change.
So Qiu Wuyi released a raw string, and with the thickness of the raw string, it was not difficult to invade such a wide gap.
"Click"
Sheng Xian seemed to be stuck in something, and Qiu Wuyi carefully dragged Sheng Xian backwards.
"Boom!"
"Ahem! ahem!"
Although the entire fallen door did not frighten Qiu Wuyi, the dust splashed by the door panel on the ground was very terrifying, Qiu Wuyi immediately covered his mouth and nose, and took a few steps back, barely out of the range of dust.
Hey?
The range of dust?
Only then did Qiu Wuyi notice that his eyes seemed to be back to work, and he could see the vague boundary of dust, and after the door fell, the light behind the door also shot into the passage.
There was only a faint light on the other side of the door, but it was enough for Qiu Wuyi to see everything clearly.
"A lot of ......"
The first thing Qiu Wuyi saw was a very familiar thing, and he had it on his body now, there was still a passage behind the door, a long and narrow passage, and there were many neatly shaped black stone pillars placed on both sides of the passage, which were the stone pillars that could make people crazy.
The stone pillars didn't seem to exert their power, and it was they that emitted a little light, and with the light, Qiu Wuyi strode forward.
The stone pillars are numerous and jumble, scattered everywhere without any regularity.
Why are they here? What does this strange thing have to do with ancient relics, or are they the so-called relics? Mysteries haunted Qiu Wuyi's brain and urged his feet to speed forward.
Soon, the passage full of stone pillars came to an end, and this time, the door in front of him was very clear, and there seemed to be some more intense light shining through the cracks in the door.
Standing behind the door, Qiu Wuyi's ears moved slightly, and the hand that had just been stretched out suddenly fell silent in the air.
There was someone behind the door, I don't know who was howling violently, it was supposed to be in danger.
Just got out of the ground, I don't know how long the ruins have been sleeping for a long time, there will be people?
Even if no one reminded him, Qiu Wuyi realized that something was definitely wrong.
Between forward and backward, he chose the former.
"Help, who's going to save me, is anyone coming, answer me!"
As soon as the rotten door was opened, a fierce howl was heard.
Qiu Wuyi pressed his body against the wall, slowly poking out half of his face, his pupils suddenly shrunk to the size of a pinpoint.
