Chapter 12: The Endless Tower

This blood bridge looks short, but Chen Yuan galloped with all his strength for more than ten minutes, and still did not run to the bridge on the other side, in Chen Yuan's eyes, the distant fog was still there, but it seemed that he was still in place, even if his body coordination at this time was very poor, but it was not enough to say that his speed would be so slow.

There's definitely something wrong with that!

"Damn, what the hell is going on?" Chen Yuan stopped, frowned slightly, his eyes looked around, and in his eyes, it was still this blood-red bridge, and there were still countless souls wailing under the bridge, the only difference was behind him, the spatial crack that made the blood bridge manifest disappeared, and the old man who was surrounded by purple light before was also gone.

Now it looks more like he has walked into another world, leaving the previous chaos crack.

The pungent bloody breath was blown up by the wind, hitting from the bottom up, permeating the surroundings of the morning abyss, and his nose moved slightly, and the foul-smelling blood gas poured straight into the alveoli from his nose.

"That's not right!"

In Chen Yuan's surprised gaze, a trace of sweet taste emerged from the thick fishy stench, and before he could identify the source of this inexplicable fragrance, a strong burning sensation instantly filled his chest, like thousands of ants biting in the lungs, itching and hurting.

"Oops! It's a corrosive gas. ”

Chen Yuan's eyes changed suddenly, his face became gloomy, he grabbed the sleeve of his right hand with a long swing, and then pulled it vigorously, tore the gorgeous clothes, and pulled out a strip of gold silk cloth that was as long as an arm, and quickly wrapped around his mouth and nose, firmly covering the exposed mucous membranes and isolating the corrosive blood gas that was permeating the surroundings.

"Damn, no, I can't stop!"

Although there is a layer of cloth isolation, he can still smell a sweet smell, after all, it is not a professional respiratory protection equipment, it cannot effectively filter harmful gases at all, and in addition, there are more and more blood-colored gases around him, which was originally just a thin layer of red mist, but at this time, it is so thick that fine blood beads condensed on his clothes, and the corrosiveness is getting stronger and stronger, and the sense of danger that threatens his life at all times envelops him.

Even though he didn't know why he couldn't get to the end, Chen Yuan gritted his teeth and took another step and continued to run forward, wanting to get away from the blood mist as soon as possible.

On the blood bridge, Chen Yuan ran with all his might, and behind him, the bright red blood mist seemed to have life, chasing him to the death, slowly hanging behind him in a position close to a position, neither far nor close, forcing Chen Yuan to keep running, difficult to stop.

Time passed like this, and I don't know how long it had been, Chen Yuan, who was running on the endless blood bridge, was already panting at this time, and his clothes were also wet with sweat, like another layer of skin stuck to his body.

He wanted to stop, but he couldn't, when a person continued to perform an action for a long time, it would produce a short-term muscle memory, and the brain would unconsciously convey nerve impulse signals in a way that was beyond the control of the will, forcing the human body to maintain this action.

Now Chen Yuan is in this state, his body is completely out of his control, and he can't make any other movements except for non-stop running.

"Stop, stop your ignorance, mortal!"

Just when Chen Yuan's nerves were about to be lost again, a grim word sounded in his ears, with countless negative emotions, to his ears, like a naked (harmonious) dancer, standing in front of a strong (harmonious) traitor who had been imprisoned for a year, a scoop of clear water placed on a traveler lost in the desert.

The allure of that horror is hard to put into words.

Chen Yuan raised his confused eyes, there was a trace of indescribable hope in his eyes, and as far as he could see, not far ahead, a gorgeous oasis lay there quietly, with dense trees, birds singing and flowers, countless fruits growing on the trees were bright and dripping, and the full fruits seemed to be filled with sweet juice, exuding a rich fragrance.

Just ahead!

Chen Yuan subconsciously raised his hands, and his five fingers kept scratching forward, and the Adam's apple also rolled up and down with what he saw, and there was a sound of swallowing.

In a matter of steps, the oasis had already been caught up by him, and in Chenyuan's opinion, he had set foot in heaven, his mind was filled with an incomparable desire for water, and reason had long been banished.

The last step!

A sickly smile appeared on Chen Yuan's face, saliva fell from the corners of his mouth, and a golden fruit was located directly in front of his head, and it only took a slight jump to reach it. Just as he was about to pour the last of his strength into the muscles of his two calves, a voice full of incomparable killing intent exploded in his ears, startling him into a cold sweat.

"The old man will make you never overborn......!"

The old man's words echoed in his ears again at this time, like a heavy hammer, which woke Chen Yuan up fiercely, and his eyes instantly returned to clarity.

What kind of oasis is that, where is the fruit, it is clearly the short guardrail of the blood bridge, as long as you lean slightly, you will immediately fall from the bridge into the river of blood, and Chen Yuan is also afraid for a while, and he is constantly grateful to the mysterious old man in his heart.

After waking up, in order to avoid being deceived by vision again, Chen Yuan also closed his eyes decisively, anyway, it was a straight road, and it was right to run with his head bored.

"I don't want to die, I want to stand at the top of this world and see what this infinite world is like!" Chen Yuan, who closed his eyes, said to himself, his voice became louder and louder, he really felt the horror, the great horror between life and death.

Although he had already died once before, but that time it was because of the Heavenly Dao's action, everything came too fast, and it was too unreal, and before he could react, his body had already died, and then his soul fell into the abyss of chaos in an instant because of too severe pain, so he didn't have an intuitive understanding of what it was like to die.

But this time is different, Chen Yuan lamented in his heart, he no longer has doubts about death, that special feeling is really too terrible, this section of the bloody bridge road made him completely feel the fear of standing on the edge of death, feeling that his will is disintegrating little by little, life is passing little by little, this feeling is even stronger after he wakes up.

Facing death is easy to say, but it is so difficult for people who have really felt death, like telling a person not to think about snakes, if you tell him that, and then ask him what he is thinking at this time, he will definitely tell you that he is thinking about snakes.

This is the dead circle of thinking, only idiots and madmen can ignore this, but Chen Yuan does not belong to either, so he chose a seemingly stupid, but extremely wise path, that is, to bypass, since he can't face it, then bypass it, just take a step back and open the sky, and further abyss, it is such a simple truth.

Maybe he felt that Chen Yuan's mind was too firm, or maybe the mysterious place couldn't tempt Chen Yuan again, but no matter which one it was, the moment Chen Yuan closed his eyes, the blood mist chasing behind him suddenly disappeared, and the blood-colored short bridge was no longer so long, but he crossed step by step, quickly shortening the distance between him and the bridge, and in a few steps, Chen Yuan had already stepped into the hazy fog with one foot, and then his whole body rushed in.

It's just that Chen Yuan didn't know it, and he continued to gallop forward.

Boom!

"Ah......h

A muffled snort sounded, followed by Chenyuan's painful groan, and after he rushed through a fog with his eyes closed, he appeared on the top of a mountain, surrounded by rolling thunderclouds as black as ink, and a scorching glorious sun in the sky, the breath of the sun converged into a sun wheel, forming a circle of golden circles in the sky, occupying the entire sky.

Countless stars are bright, and they still twinkle under the cover of the sun, which is a phenomenon that violates the laws of nature, but at this time it is presented so plainly. Under the illumination of the sun and starlight, the endless sea of clouds churned, but as far as the eye could see, only this small peak could be seen.

This is a lonely peak, a dilapidated corner tower built on this not spacious peak, you can't see the top at a glance, you don't know how many layers it has, you can only vaguely identify, some rotten prayer flags hang in the corner of the tower, the color has long since passed, the rusty copper bell is messy in the wind, ringing like a jingle bell, as if from the eternal river of time, telling a buried past one after another.

And Chen Yuan obviously didn't notice the existence of the tower, so he hit it straight over, and his body like a bamboo pole vigorously made close contact with the bronze gate of the tower, and the result was obvious, the gate did not move at all, but Chen Yuan flew backwards in pain, and fell dangerously on the cliff, almost falling down.

When Chen Yuan endured the severe pain and struggled to get up from the ground, the ancient tower shook inexplicably, like a dead heart beating again, ringing very regularly.

Creak!

In Chen Yuan's defensive eyes, the bronze gate that had knocked him out of the place before slowly opened, very slowly, and countless visible dust fell from the gate, and when the gate was completely opened, a sound like a machine came out of the dark tower, and a strong wind followed, forcing Chen Yuan to lie on the ground, so as not to be blown away by the wind.

At this time, the black tattoo light covering his body in his soul was flourishing, just enough to envelop Chen Yuan's body, but the rocks and flowers on the side were changing amazingly at this time, they were not blown away, they didn't even move at all, but they were withering at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if the wind was blowing away life and time, the flowers and plants dried up, and the rocks weathered, leaving only a pile of white ash.

What kind of supreme power is this, which in an instant turns life and some inanimate objects into nothing, and makes youth decay in an instant! This is time, and only time!

After the wind passed, Chen Yuan struggled to get up from a hole, looking at the tower in surprise, forgetting to wipe the layer of white ash covering his face, and was stunned.

"This is the Endless Tower, a magical and death-filled place. ”

"Descendants of our people, after a century, since you have chosen to embark on this terrifying path, enter through the gates, as long as you can complete the tasks issued by the Tower and gain enough world recognition, this place will fulfill any wish in your heart. If you're scared, leave the way you came. ”

"Scared, leave?" Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows, a crazy look appeared on his face, a contemptuous smile, and he took a step in laughter, and rushed into the darkness.

Chen Yuan's body disappeared, the bronze gate slowly closed, and a flash of divine light flashed at the bottom of the tower, rushing towards the top of the boundless tower, and the sound of machinery rose again.

"Endless Tower, Nai Ho Bridge, Nai Ta Chi Ho, Na Na Na Chi Ho. ”
