Chapter 434: Cloud Tower Branch, Puppet Formation
When Long Tianao's phantom shadow floated to the city wall, even if his body touched the pitch-black city wall, he was not seen to be bounced away.
His body was indeed as light as a feather!
Lu Zhan and the other three immediately followed Long Tianao's example and pasted the bronze spell on their bodies, their bodies also turned into a light smoke-like phantom and floated upward, and it didn't take long for them to fly over the city wall about a dozen zhang high, and the scenery behind the city wall was already in front of their eyes.
But at this time, the problem came, their bodies were still in the shape of light smoke at this time, and their bodies continued to float upward, and they couldn't stop for a while.
"Ah, what should I do, if I continue to float like this, I will fly out of the clouds. Seeing that her body was floating higher and higher, Li Yuerong screamed anxiously, "Long Tianao, you bastard, how can we stop?"
"If you release your cave, your body will be heavier, I don't understand such a simple reason. Long Tianao, who was flying at the front, said, and suddenly, he let out a startled "huh" sound: "Hey, why can't my cave house be released? Oh no, this spell of mine is out of control, you save me, I can't get down!"
Lu Zhan, Ximen Feixue and Li Yuerong released the cave one after another, so that their bodies became heavier, and then they floated over the city wall and fell to the ground of the second pass.
Lu Zhan activated the "Long-tongued Demon God" with his divine thoughts, and saw that the demon god opened his mouth, and a tongue rolled into the air with a "whoosh", rolling Long Tianao, who was floating upward, back to the ground.
After a tea time, the four partners' figures turned from virtual to solid, and their weight regained.
At this time, the numbers on their crystal plates showed:
"Twenty-nine points. ”
The second pass was thus passed.
The second pass is followed by a stone staircase that extends upwards, but it is flanked by steep stone walls that are wide enough to accommodate five people standing side by side.
The four companions stood in front of the stone staircase, looking up along the stairs, but saw that the stone staircase zigzagged and winded up, and after a few steps, there was a large corner in the shape of a zigzag. Steep stone walls obstruct the view. It's hard to guess what's going to happen on the road ahead.
With the experience of the previous two levels, the four of them knew that this stone staircase would definitely not be so peaceful, and there must be something unusual waiting for them on the stone staircase.
"Did you find out? Lu Zhan said: "The two passes we just passed, only the agency prohibited, and we didn't see a single person, didn't the superintendent of Xiaomi say that there were people from the 'Yunta Branch' participating in this actual combat exercise?
"Maybe they're guarding somewhere else. Li Yuerong guessed optimistically: "Maybe the road we are walking on is either a cliff or a city wall with a 'elastic prohibition', and they guards think that no one can get up here." So the area is not protected. ”
"I hope so. Long Tianao muttered in a low voice: "The ban on the first two passes is already so terrifying, and if you go up further, I don't know what else you will encounter." ”
"No matter how dangerous the road is, we have to stick to it, okay, let's go up!" Lu Zhan strode towards the stone stairs first.
Long Tianao followed closely, Li Yuerong followed behind Long Tianao, and behind the West Gate Flying Snow Palace.
The four of them lined up in a line and marched proudly towards the third level of passes.
Since the stone staircase has a large corner every few feet, it is impossible to fly on this section of the road. The four of them had to walk up on foot.
There was silence above the stone staircase, and the footsteps of the four companions echoed hollowly between the steep stone walls. They walked cautiously upward, and at each large corner, they had to look very carefully out of the corner to make sure that there was nothing unusual on the next stone staircase before continuing on.
But I walked hundreds of steps. After turning a dozen big corners, it was always very peaceful, and there was no sudden outbreak.
The nerves of the four of them, which had been extremely tense, couldn't help but relax.
"It took us three hours to get past the first two passes. Long Tianao estimated optimistically: "Advance at this speed, and it will be tonight." We can rush to the 'Silver Sand Castle' in the fifth level and settle the battle tomorrow morning." Haha, if we can win this actual combat deduction with the attitude of being the first in the class. Brother, I invite you to the most exclusive restaurant in Phantom Silver City for a big meal. ”
"Is it so happy to get the first place?" Li Yuerong glanced at him, "In fact, there is no difference between the first and fifth places in this assessment, as long as you don't fall to the sixth place." ”
"First place may not be important to you, but it is a very important thing for me. Long Tianao said to Lu Zhan: "Those eldest sons and brothers in our class, led by Zhou Binglin, represent the most arrogant and self-righteous group of elite and wealthy families in Phantom Silver City. These elite and wealthy families control almost half of the economic, political, financial, and military power of Phantom Silver City.
These so-called elite families despise us from other places very much, and call us 'local tyrants' and 'nouveau riche', and we families who moved from other places have been bullied by them in Phantom Silver City.
Today, if I can surpass Zhou Binglin's elite and wealthy children with the first place, then my whole family will feel proud of it, brother, I don't want to fight for anything else, I just want to fight for a breath. ”
Li Yuerong sighed and said to Long Tianao in a sympathetic tone: "The xenophobia of these big families in Phantom Silver City is very serious, and it is indeed not easy for your family to survive here. I will resolutely not develop in Phantom Silver City in the future, our family is the boss in Yuejiang City, if your family does not mix well in Phantom Silver City, you are welcome to come to our Yuejiang City to develop. ”
Long Tianao smiled and said to her: "You invited me so sincerely, do you want our two families to marry? ”
Li Yuerong snorted angrily: "You kid is the most hated by this kind of virtue, you always treat other people's kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, and your spell family is also worthy of being related to my authentic warlord family?"
"What's wrong with the Spell Family?" Long Tian said in a hurry: "The Spell Family can also get ahead......
While the two were arguing, Li Yuerong's soles suddenly slipped and almost fell, she hurriedly looked down at the soles of her feet, but saw that there was a puddle of red liquid under her feet!
"Oh, it's blood!"
Li Yuerong exclaimed in surprise and couldn't help but hide beside Ximen Feixue.
"How can there be blood?"
Lu Zhan glanced at Ximen Feixue alertly, and the two walked to the left and right ends of the stone stairs respectively, and walked up cautiously, and after passing a corner, a large pool of blood appeared on the ground.
Lu Zhan squatted down and carefully looked at the pool of blood, and saw that the pool of blood had coagulated, but the color was brighter than ordinary blood clotting.
"Strangely, it doesn't look like it's human blood. Lu Zhan said softly.
"Isn't it human?" Long Tianao said nervously, "Is it an animal?"
"Not like that. Lu Zhan shook his head, "I don't think it's blood at all." ”
"It's not blood, what could it be?" Li Yuerong asked, "Why is it on this step?"
Lu Zhan shrugged noncommittally.
Long Tianao muttered in a low voice: "This is not a good omen, I know that there must be something on this road." ”
Lu Zhan stood up, although he and Ximen Feixue didn't talk much, they had the most tacit understanding. The two of them made a look at each other, one left and one right walked up in a horn trend, and after walking a few steps, they saw a large pool of red liquid, this time the red liquid beach filled several steps and reflected in the sun, which was particularly shocking.
Li Yuerong and Long Tianao swallowed nervously.
They stepped on those red liquids on tiptoe, and turned a big corner with Lu Zhan and Ximen Feixue in front of them, and the vision in front of them suddenly opened up-
In front of them was a large piece of flat land, but there were several pools of red liquid on top of that flat land, and not only that, but above the flat land, there were more than a dozen corpses hanging in the sky!
Li Yuerong, who has always loved to scream, first exclaimed "ah", and couldn't help pinching Long Tianao's arm with one hand, which made him jump high in pain.
"Don't panic. Lu Zhan in front turned around and said to Li Yuerong and Long Tianao: "These are not people, just some dolls. ”
"Dolls?" everyone raised their heads and looked up, and saw that the "corpses" hanging in the air were some of cloth, some of them were of wood, some of them were of bamboo, and some of them were even made of stone.
But I saw that the images of these dolls are all depicted very ugly, their facial expressions are different, some are angry, some are bared and cracked, some are smiling, some are crazy, although the appearance is different, but these dolls have one thing in common: their eyes are surprisingly large, and their bodies are still flowing with red liquid like blood!
"These dolls won't be ......"
Long Tianao looked at Li Yuerong nervously, Li Yuerong swallowed her saliva and nodded softly and said, "It's a puppet array!"
"It turns out that this is the puppet mechanism of the legendary 'Five Banyan Branch'. Lu Zhan looked at the puppets hanging in the air with considerable interest.
But these puppets are about six feet tall, they are all wearing long and large robes, and the joints of their hands and feet are faintly flashing with a trace of very thin silver light, and in the air above the puppets, there is also a giant blue web like a spider's web, the color of this giant web is integrated with the color of the sky, and it is really difficult to see without looking carefully.
And the thin filaments of light attached to the puppet's body were impressively connected to the huge blue web.
This huge blue net enveloped the whole clearing, and if you want to continue going, you must pass under the huge net, and there is no other way.
Long Tianao nervously looked up at the puppets above his head, seeing that they were motionless and did not look like they were attacking. Li Yuerong saw that Lu Zhan, who was walking in the front, had already approached a bamboo puppet, and hurriedly said, "Don't touch that puppet, don't activate the puppet array." (To be continued.) )
