Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Prison of the Strong
"W-What is that?"
Everyone who followed behind Dugu Yi and the four of them involuntarily stepped back when they saw the giant tower, and every face became distorted and ugly with fear. [Ran^Text^Library] []=Music=Text=Novel w.lxs520.com The pitch-black tower, the blood-red four big characters, and the breath that is enough to make the body feel cold, all of these tell them that this tower is ominous and full of danger.
There was also Lin Shaoyu in the retreating crowd, and he moved his gaze to the four of Dugu Yi as he retreated. There was horror in their eyes, but there was no fear in them. At this time, the young man dressed in black also became another giant tower in Lin Shaoyu's eyes, the only difference was that he lacked the strong smell of death.
"The seventh abyss, is there a first and second ...... ahead of it?"
Dugu Yi did not question why the giant tower was named 'Abyss', because it gave people the feeling that it was indeed an abyss, a collection of abysses of death.
Qin Qin looked at Dugu Yi, who was looking at the giant tower and thinking about it, shook his head slightly, and said, "According to the ancient books I have seen, there are nine such black giant towers in heaven and earth. β
"Nine!"
Dugu Yi has become accustomed to Qin Qin's erudition, he has never seen her cultivate since he met, as long as he is free, he is holding a book, which is the other extreme compared to him who only thinks about cultivation.
Those panicked people finally stopped after hearing Dugu Yi and Qin Qin's voices, and listened carefully to what they were saying.
"Does Qin Qin know where we are now?" Dugu Yan asked.
"I don't know. Qin Qin shook her head at Dugu Yan. "I just knew they existed, not where they were built. β
"That's it!" Dugu Yan lowered her gaze in disappointment.
"Who built it, and why did you build such a giant tower that people dare not approach?" Dongfang Yuzhu also raised the question in his heart.
Qin Qin smiled and shook his head, "Who built the prison for the strong that has existed since the mythological era?"
"The prison of the strong?" Dugu Yi and the others were already shocked when they heard the first half of the sentence, and their minds went blank. In the age of mythology, what level must be reached to be called a strong person, and the 'abyss' giant tower built to imprison those strong people must be a dangerous place that these weak people cannot set foot in at all, and once they step into it, they may never be able to get out again.
At this time, the crew members who heard their conversation had all fled back, Lin Shaoyu looked left and right, and finally chose to stay to watch the actions of Dugu Yi and the four of them.
And Dugu Yi also had the idea of turning around and leaving immediately, but fortunately, he heard a more reassuring word in the next second.
"I think this seventh abyss should have been abandoned for a long time, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to get so close to it. β
"That's right. Dugu Yi nodded with relief, thought for a while, and then followed Qin Qin's words and said, "And we have been here for so long, and the caretaker has not appeared, maybe there is no one inside." β
"Listen to the meaning of your words, it doesn't mean that you still want to go in, right?" Dugu Yan took a step sideways, and at the same time grabbed the wrists of Dugu Yi and Qin Qin, who had not yet moved.
"We came here through a spatial passage, and if the passage back exists, it can only be in this seventh abyss. β
"Yuzhu?" Dugu Yan turned her head to look at the Dongfang Yuzhu who opened her mouth in surprise. "Why does Yuzhu want to go in so much? You three must be crazy to want to go in and die, right?"
Dongfang Yuzhu shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Sister Yan thinks we can leave this desert on foot? This seventh abyss is a prison for the strong, so I don't think that the desert where it is located is something we can get out of, and our only chance may be in this tower." β
"Guys, may I interject?"
Lin Shaoyu, who hadn't escaped back yet, raised his hand and asked, and without waiting for Dugu Yi and the others to respond, he said: "I think what Miss Dongfang said is very reasonable, and although the building ship has food and water reserves, because the building boat docks every day, the reserves are only two days at most......"
"......" Dugu Yan slowly let go of the hand that was holding the two of them, knowing that the tower was very dangerous, but she couldn't find a word to refute it. There may still be a glimmer of hope in Dongfang Yuzhu's words, but Lin Shaoyu extinguished it, they simply don't have enough food and water, and there is no hope of getting out of the desert.
After listening to Lin Shaoyu's words, Dugu Yi had no choice, and he no longer hesitated, and walked towards the seventh abyss with his feet raised. Qin Qin and Dongfang Yuzhu followed silently, and Dugu Yan gritted her teeth and took a step. Lin Shaoyu sighed deeply and chased after him.
When they came to the bottom of the tower, the cold air had seeped into the skin and flesh like ice needles from every pore, and it was hard to endure it, and the heavy pressure was still heavy on them.
More than ten meters high, next to the heavy giant gate, there is a black stone plaque, and the three lines of text engraved on it are blood red.
"The seventh abyss, the second strongest in the human realm is imprisoned, gathering the power of heaven and earth to suppress the power of cultivators to the Martial Sect. β
After reading it, Dugu Yan immediately asked, "Does this mean that after entering, no matter how powerful a person is, he will become a martial artist?"
"I guess so. Dugu Yi is also a lot more relieved. Although he decided to go in, it was unacceptable if he let the three people around him encounter any danger because of this. If this tower could really suppress the cultivator's power to the Martial Sect, this would at least give Qin Qin and Dongfang Yuzhu the power to protect themselves.
"Don't be too optimistic. Dongfang Yuzhu reminded Dugu Yi softly, and said, "If I encounter a martial sect above level five, I have no way to deal with it." β
"Yuzhu?" Dugu Yan didn't know that Dongfang Yuzhu was a third-level martial sect, so she was stunned when she heard her words, but she just saw Qin Qin in the afterglow of her eyes, and she immediately figured it out. "Yuzhu, you are also a martial artist?"
Dongfang Yuzhu nodded lightly.
"You ......" Dugu Yan looked at the three of them speechlessly, and an inferiority complex hit her heart. She is the eldest among the four people in the group, and Dugu Yi, the lowest martial rank among the three people around her, is also the same as her, but his strength is not known how many times stronger than her cousin, and the two girls have already advanced to the Martial Sect.
"Let's talk later, help me first. Lin Shaoyu's voice sounded by the door, and his hands that were red from the cold pushed the giant door hard. He couldn't stand the cold and oppression anymore, and just wanted to push open the door and enter the tower as soon as possible.
No matter how you look at the heavy giant door, it can't be easily pushed open, but since it has arrived, Dugu Yi has no intention of turning back.
"I'm going to push the door. Dugu Yi looked at Qin Qin's three daughters one by one.
"Hmm!" the three women nodded at the same time.
Dugu Yi got a response before walking towards the giant gate, stretching out his hands like Lin Shaoyu.
"Squeak, squeak......"
As soon as Dugu Yi's hand touched the faΓ§ade, a muffled thunderous sound sounded behind the giant door, and a few wisps of dust were scattered from above, and then the giant gate moved to both sides by itself.
Dugu Yi looked at his hands in amazement, while the others looked at the slowly opening giant door with some surprise.
"Whew!" the giant door only revealed a crack when a warm wind blew out.
"This ...... What's going on?" Lin Shaoyu looked at Dugu Yi blankly. "I didn't push it with all my strength, and you just touched it and it opened on its own. β
"Let's go in first. Qin Qin was the first to walk into the giant gate that had not yet been fully opened, and he was not interested in Lin Shaoyu's question at all.
"Okay!" Dugu Yi put down his hands and stepped into the door in two steps. At this time, not only did I not feel the cold, but even the heavy feeling of oppression disappeared. It's only two steps away, but it's two very different worlds.
Dongfang Yuzhu and Dugu Yan looked at the dark door and immediately walked in.
Although Lin Shaoyu, who stayed at the end, was a little worried about what would be in the door, the warm air blowing out was very comfortable, so he didn't want to stay outside the door for a moment.
"Squeak......
After all five people entered the door, the huge door that had not yet opened half began to close again.
"Haha......"
As the door closed completely, an old maniacal laugh came from the depths. At the same time, the faint blue flames burned above the heads of Dugu Yi and the others little by little, and continued into the depths, seemingly like the lights in the corridor.
Hearing the laughter, the four of Dugu Yi gathered together vigilantly, and Lin Shaoyu was stunned behind them.
"This seat has been guarding this prison for thousands of years, and today we finally have another batch of prisoners, let this seat see how many days you can live in this seventh abyss!"
After the wild laughter fell, the sound of surprise as if a new toy had been found rang out again.
