Chapter 169 is close at hand and out of reach
On the stone platform, there is a small nine-story floating pagoda, about a foot high, the whole body is snow-white, I don't know what kind of material it is made of.
From this pagoda, there was an indescribable aura of intimacy, Lin Xiao only glanced at it, and he could no longer control his excitement from the depths of his soul.
Just like a person who has been lost since childhood and has been adrift for half his life, he accidentally wandered to a certain place one day, and suddenly found that the scenery in front of him was so similar to the blurred image of his hometown in the depths of his memory.
Could it be that this is the hometown you are looking for?!
Half a lifetime of wandering, I have never been able to forget the turmoil in the hearts of the wanderers in my childhood homeland, which can be imagined.
And this mood is exactly the portrayal of Lin Xiao's heart at this time.
Lin Xiao only felt that his heart was beating violently, his breathing was disordered, his legs were weak, his throat was dry, and he was stunned in place for a while, but his two eyes couldn't take a single inch off the pagoda.
After a while, Lin Xiao swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and slowly walked towards the pagoda, just like the wanderer who had been away from his homeland for a long time staggered towards the big locust tree at the entrance of the village where he had frolicked as a child.
After so many years of not seeing, you are still vaguely the same as before, but I am beyond recognition.
When I got closer, I found that this pagoda is atmospheric, stout and straight, the top of the tower is like a cover, the tower is like a bottle, although there is only more than a foot, but there is a kind of giant pillar of optimus, majestic and solemn momentum.
The texture of the pagoda is like jade, snow-white and delicate, but under closer inspection, it looks like bone or, like ivory.
The pagoda is full of exquisite miniature carvings, the nine-story tower is carved with lifelike animals outside the body, look carefully and you will find that the animals carved on the same layer of the tower belong to the same category, the higher the floor, the fewer the types of animals.
Lin Xiao finally walked to the stone platform, he took a deep breath, and slowly stretched out his hands to the pagoda.
At this moment, Lin Xiao saw that on the highest floor of the pagoda, there was a strange divine beast carving, with a dragon's head, antlers, lion's eyes, a tiger's back, a bear's waist, snake scales, horseshoe, and a pig's tail.
Lin Xiao immediately recognized that the strange beast in front of him was the unicorn known as the first divine beast.
This unicorn hoof is auspicious, the dragon's head is high, there is not a solemn imperial state, high according to the top of the tower, such as the king of the world, overlooking the many beast people carved on the body of the eight-story tower below.
Seeing this unicorn, Lin Xiao's outstretched hands stiffened, and he frowned tightly, and in the depths of his mind, one of the countless memory fragments made a violent vibration, and bursts of stinging pain came from his head.
Excitement is still not enough!
Lin Xiao held back his headache and continued to carefully examine the pagoda in front of him.
Directly above the unicorn is a tower plaque, on which the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, engraved with three big characters, the form of these three words Lin Xiao is very familiar, it is the ancient text of the beast clan that Lin Hong asked Lin Bei to read.
As soon as these three words came into view, like a spark, it instantly detonated the fragment of memory that had already shaken, and turned into stars.
"Ahh
There was an uproar in the audience, everyone was puzzled by this sudden change, and the token was close in front of him, but the tiger people collapsed like epilepsy, which was really incredible.
There are also many people who believe that this tiger people must have seen victory in front of them, and they were too excited, so they were mentally confused for a while.
After a while, Lin Xiao calmed down, and when he opened his eyes again and threw himself at the Nine-Story Futu Pagoda, the scorching light in his eyes almost set the iron stone on fire.
It's really a thousand times in the crowd, and suddenly looking back, it is not far in front of me.
Although the information contained in the memory fragment was completely mastered by Lin Xiao, although this information was incomplete, Lin Xiao already knew that this tower was the second holy city built during the heyday of the beast race, that is, the most important holy object in the prosperous city, and the center of the inheritance of the beast civilization.
As long as there is this tower, the orcs will regain the core inheritance of their heyday and reconnect with the veins of civilization.
And the specific method of use is also in Lin Xiao's mind.
Now Lin Xiao can't wait to hold this treasure in his arms, return to the beast domain at the speed of light, and use the secret method to open the magic power of this tower.
In this way, the strength of the orcs will make an unimaginable explosive leap in three or five months.
But Lin Xiao knew that now he must not do this, and he can't do it, everything can only be considered in the long run.
Suppressing the desire in his heart, Lin Xiao stood up steadily, stretched out his hands, and gently lifted the pagoda from the stone platform, feeling warm and delicate, not too heavy, and there was a sense of intimacy of blood connection, such as holding the relics of relatives.
At the moment when he picked up the pagoda, Lin Xiao seemed to feel that the entire Sansheng Pagoda was like a car that suddenly stopped all operations.
With a "Teng" sound, Lin Xiao jumped from the entrance of the tower pavilion and landed steadily on the third floor of the Sansheng Tower.
At the same time, only three "whoosh" sounds were heard, and three figure arrows jumped up from the entrance to the second and third floors, which were Niu Tong, Ape Flash, and Leopard Feng.
The three of them were all in disarray, their clothes and armor were torn, they were scarred, and they were panting heavily, and most of the weapons in their hands were badly damaged, obviously after a fierce battle.
"Brother Lin, you've got it!" Leopard Feng exclaimed excitedly, his sharp eyes saw what Lin Xiao was in his hand at a glance.
"No wonder those three stone bastards who couldn't be beaten stopped moving as if they were cramped all of a sudden, hahaha!" Ape Flash laughed and rushed to Lin Xiao first.
"Well done, Brother Lin...... Old turtle!!" Niu Tong, who was walking in the front, suddenly found the turtle Jian who was motionless on the ground.
The three of them hurriedly surrounded and squatted down to inspect Gu Jian's condition.
Lin Xiao's face did not have a trace of joy at winning the championship, and he walked towards the brothers who were gathered in a circle and were calling for Gu Jian with a mournful step.
With a change of light and shadow, the entire Sansheng Pagoda began to change dramatically, the four walls and the top of the tower receded like a tide, and the thick stone pillars quickly sank to the ground.
The sky, the sun, the clouds, once again, appeared at the same time, and at the same time, the crowd of spectators in the high stands around them, as well as tsunami cheers and thunderous applause.
"Boss!"
"The strongest team in history, leader!"
"Thunderbolt Tiger, the greatest fighting hero!"
"Give them freedom!"
......
All kinds of shouts converged, like a sea in a stormy wind.
But the four fighters, who had just become heroes, seemed to be deaf to the deafening cheers, and just gathered in a circle, bowing their heads and saying nothing.
After a long time, Lin Xiao took the lead in standing up and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, people can't be resurrected after death, although Brother Turtle is dead, but we are still alive, the important thing now is that we help Brother Turtle fulfill his last wish." We still have a long way to go. ”
Niu Tong, Leopard Feng and Ape Flash are also people who are accustomed to seeing life and death, and when they heard this, they all stood up silently.
Lin Xiao Huoran stretched out his hand.
"Bang bang!" the four of them clasped their hands tightly.
Today, they will usher in the most glorious moment of their lives, and our most respected and wise Duke will personally present them with awards!
Cheers and applause swept the arena like a storm.
Lin Xiao realized that the entire Sansheng Pagoda had turned into a high stone platform, and from the stone platform, a long stone staircase extended to the main stand.
"Brothers, let's go!" Lin Xiao shouted.
"Okay! go!" Niu Tong, Leopard Feng, and Ape Flash shouted in unison, sweeping away the grief between their brows.
In the cheers, Lin Xiao took the head of the pagoda in his hand, Niu Tong and the three of them followed in turn, and the four of them lined up in a line, strode up the stairs, and went straight to the main stand.
On both sides of the passage of the main stand, nobles and wealthy businessmen in fresh clothes clapped their hands elegantly and smiled arrogantly to signal to Lin Xiao and his party.
When walking in front of Shi Feiyun, Lin Xiao nodded slightly at her, she rolled her eyelids and smiled proudly.
Dou Xian and Dou Chao, father and son, did not applaud, their faces were gloomy and terrifying.
Until they reached the highest point of the main stand, Lin Xiao and the other four stopped, and in front of them, there were two high thrones, sitting Duke Shi Zheqi, the supreme ruler of the principality, and Duchess Dou Qingqing, who was known for her dignified and noble, cold and glamorous.
I don't know when, Yan Yifei led Frog Eighteen, Mole Tree, Fox Shen and Falcon Qing to the main stand, and he stood in front of the leader Zhu Yong in a horizontal row, and half bent down respectfully.
"Present the token!" Hong Baoliang sang in a long voice.
Yan Yifei replied loudly, turned around, and reached out to catch the nine-story Futu Pagoda that Lin Xiao was holding, but he didn't take it at once, and the pagoda was held by Lin Xiao.
Seeing Yan Yifei's suspicious eyes, Lin Xiao realized his gaffe, so he had to reluctantly let go of his hands, watching Yan Yifei take the pagoda from his hands, and respectfully move forward to give it to Shi Zheqi.
Shi Zheqi took the pagoda and said with a smile: "I didn't see any magic in the beast clan things obtained by this ancestor, but today it has played some role and is used as a prop, hehe." ”
After that, he handed the pagoda to the side nonchalantly, and a waiter had already stepped forward to take it.
Shi Zheqi stood up and said loudly: "I announce that the champion of this year's Jiahua Grand Competition is the Champion Fighting Group! They will represent the Duchy in next year's Phoenix City Ten States Fighting Awards. The Yan family was promoted to the Wupin Hongwu family. All the fighters who participated in this Carnival Contest were given the status of free men. In addition, the Thunderbolt Tigers who performed well in this competition will be awarded an additional third-class Medal of Loyalty!"
The tsunami-like cheers and applause once again swept the entire arena.
"Woo! Woo ......" In mid-air, huge fireworks suddenly exploded, such as weeping chrysanthemums, hydrangeas, and scorching sun...... Varied, continuous, pushing the jubilant atmosphere to its apex.
This kind of carnival will continue until late at night.
In the boiling arena, the leaders were also fluctuating and full of emotion, Yan Yifei was overjoyed, Niu Tong and others, who had just been freed, couldn't help but be overjoyed, this time they were not born and died in vain.
