The fireflies in the sky, like spring blooming, swayed in the black curtain of silver and white, like sparkling, and then turned red, burning heat, but carrying a terrifying aura that wants to engulf everything.

The fires came from all directions, and some of them hit the walls and bricks around the tower. The gunpowder exploded, making an earth-shaking sound, like thunder descending into the world, bombarding the entire tower one after another, and the tower body began to shake.

"Be careful!" A lot of flames, rushing into it from the window, like a crazy silver snake, piercing back and forth in the small space. Qiu Shaohu blocked An Jin behind him, and at the same time exerted the power of the four walls of Zhang Su's family to firmly control these flames within a range.

The flames were weak and extinguished in the struggle. But there are still more flames coming from the outside world one after another.

Qiu Shaohu was coping with all this, and at the same time turned his head to An Jin and said, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's just that the walls here ......" An Jin originally wanted to say, I'm afraid that the poems on the top walls will be ruined because of this. I turned my head to see that the place around me that had been passed by the flames, even though the walls had been blackened, the handwriting on it was still vivid, as if it had just been written.

"The ink inscribed by the imperial court to the scholars is all high-quality ambergris incense ink, which does not disperse when it encounters water and does not burn when it encounters fire. The wall is blackened, and if you look back and wipe it clean, these verses will still be word for word!"

Qiu Shaohu said.

"Oh." An Jin's eyes flickered, "You seem to know a lot about this."

"I also know that from the time this tower was first built, all kinds of possibilities of destruction were considered, so it was not so easy for these people outside to get their hands on it. But now doesn't seem to be the time to talk about that!"

As soon as Qiu Shaohu's words fell, he heard a "boom", accompanied by the sound of "squeak" and turning, like an old lock, which was opened again at this moment and played its role in calmness. Several heavy stone walls fell from above, sealing the windows around them. Similar sounds continued one after another, and it seemed that the portals on each floor were automatically sealed by the mechanism to isolate the intrusion of the outside world.

And it doesn't stop there, just outside the wall, there is a faint sound of water flowing, including inside the tower, in all corners, the water flows like a stream, and the flames in the room are all extinguished. Some of the remaining flames jumped onto the beams of the ceiling, but did not ignite the wood, and after emitting a wisp of green smoke, it was extinguished on it.

After successive repairs, the tower has long been perfected all functions, not only the walls are deliberately thickened, the internal arrangement of the organs can be fireproof, anti-theft, to prevent malicious destruction, and even the paint painted on the fence is a special fireproof paint, placed in the fire will not burn.

The entire tower immediately became like a closed fortress, as strong as a copper wall, and it was difficult for outsiders to enter.

The two of them were on the ninth floor, only to hear the roar outside still non-stop, and a lot of gunpowder continued to hit the wall outside the tower, but after the mechanism was activated, it was like a mayfly shaking a tree, and it couldn't make any waves at all.

It's just that Qiu Shaohu noticed one thing and felt a little bad.

"Not good." He stared at the open portal and said.

"What's wrong?" An Jin was puzzled.

"The door to the ninth floor is still open." Qiu Shaohu said, "Originally, this was the most secret place, and if I hadn't opened the door, neither of you and I would have been able to enter. But when the mechanism was activated, the outside was sealed, but the door was not closed together. It is conceivable that the people who designed the mechanism from the beginning did not think of cutting each floor below separately at such a time, so that people who had already entered it could not move at will. If the people from outside have already come in, they can still go up here."

"But now that the outside authorities have been activated, they probably won't be able to come in again." An Jin understood what Qiu Shaohu meant, but he still didn't know the doorway.

"Heh," Qiu Shaohu said, "You'd better not be surprised by what those people do."

He had seen all the strangeness of the Shinchi Sect before. Therefore, if it is said that the mechanism of this tower alone can keep them out, then

I won't believe it.

"I'll go down and take a look, you're here, and if I don't come up, it should be fine."

Qiu Shaohu said to An Jin.

An Jin nodded and didn't say anything more.

"Also," Qiu Shaohu thought about it for a while, took out a dragon head gun he had made before from his arms, and said to him, "Take this self-defense, if someone or something inexplicable comes up, just point the muzzle of the gun at the other party, and detain it here."

The power of the fire gun is not only a kind of damage to people, but also to quite a demon, and it is simple to use.

"This ...... It seems to be an ordnance......" Before An Jin could ask, he saw Qiu Shaohu turn around and disappear here.

Qiu Shaohu went outside and looked down from the fence on the eighth floor, but saw layers of pavilions, winding in turn, like the peaks of the mountains, one after another, and entering the end.

Seeing it below, at the bottom level, there were really a few shadows faintly, trembling there. Either they had infiltrated it before that, or they had managed to get in after the agency had been activated.

Qiu Shaohu spread his wings like an eagle, jumping down from above, light as a shadow, floating towards the ground, almost without any sound.

Ascending to the realm again, his whole person has been sublimated in a special way, whether it is reflexes, agility, or necessary lightness, they are far more handy than before.

When he was about to land on the first floor, the hook on his wrist flew out and hooked directly into the fence on the second floor, allowing him to land steadily on it.

Landing on the eaves of the second floor, watching the movements of the people below, I found that these people were cautiously looking for something, and when they saw the verses on the wall, they took out tools one by one, such as chisels, nails, hammers, etc., and planned to come hard, pry these poems down and move the entire wall.

But how strong the walls of the tower were, even if they were smashed with a hammer, they could not leave any traces, and these people could only be helpless.

It is indeed the people of the Zhenchi Sect, and it seems that they not only covet the handscroll of the scholar, but also the poems on the chariot tower this time.

Just when one of them was scratching his head and distressed, he was suddenly startled.

Before he could react, Yun Rose was shocked and tied him so tightly that he couldn't even hold his mouth and make any sound.

"Say, what are you doing here?" Qiu Shaohu appeared silently behind him, like a ghost, and asked.

But at the same moment, a cold aura also strangled his neck, making him unable to move.

"What the hell is this?" Looking at the chains under Uematsu's feet, he was connected to the entire sea. Dusty never thought that this would be the case. It's no wonder that in the waves just now, with the strength of Zhisong, it stands to reason that he could easily land on the shore, but he had to ask for help, it turned out that he was really trapped in this turbulent tide.

"It's the sea god's curse." Zhisong said with a sad expression.

"Poseidon's curse?" Covered with dust, when did such a "sea god" come around the island of forgetfulness?

"I don't know, but that's the way it is." Uematsu said, "Do you see that skeleton in the sky, that's a sign that everything is about to begin. In the rough seas, those who remain here will be cursed by this kind of curse, and they will never be able to leave, but can only become sacrifices of the sea god, waiting for themselves to be devoured alive by it."

Zhi Song said such words in a calm tone without emotion, which made Meng Chen shudder. new

He directly grabbed his junior brother's shoulder and said, "Calm down! Don't mention this kind of unlucky words, we are the disciples of Forgetless Island, there are Wan Yin and Master Mercy Mo on the island, how could we let this kind of evil cause trouble, maybe they already know everything and are about to rush over to save you!"

"Can you reach them, then?" Uematsu was expressionless, "Since just now, we haven't been able to contact anyone on the Cloud Wandering Order, have we?"

Dusty was speechless.

"But if you want to save me, senior brother, there is still a way." Zhi Song paused word by word and said, "That

That is, to stop the sacrifice of the god of the sea."

"Stop? How can you stop it?" The more he listened, the more confused he became.

"It's like when an animal is slaughtered, the chain around its neck is loosened. The god of the sea will also untie the chains under my feet before taking us as sacrifices, and that is when I will escape. But it will eat me the moment it is untied. So strictly speaking, it's impossible. But there's another way."

Zhi Song pointed to the rough sea and said, "Wait a while, there will be a bright light in the center of the whirlpool, that is, the key to the chain, as long as you snatch the key and open my chain before the sea god acts." But I don't think you're that simple."

"Poseidon is strong?" Meng Chen asked.

He thought that the only obstacle was this so-called "sea god" who didn't know the details.

But soon, he discovered something else.

The situation on the surface of the sea is a little better than before, and the water flows, around the center of a huge circle, forming a wide whirlpool, and the edge is not visible at a glance.

And within this body of water, the dust clearly saw that several other small boats, also on the edge of the whirlpool, stared at the central position, and the people on it all showed greedy eyes in their eyes.

In those ships, too, there were chains that trapped them firmly in the sea, but looking at their fiery eyes, staring at the surface of the sea, it seemed that they had come to hunt for treasure.

"Those are the merchants who came here by boat?"

Dusty recognized them.

"It is a pity that the people of the world are greedy in the mortal world, and they do not see the imminent catastrophe, even in their cages, they still think that they have the victory in their hands, and regard temptation as their own reward."

Uematsu sighed.
